The Note and the equity securities issuable upon conversion thereof (the “Convertible Shares”) and the Warrant and securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”) are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”
The Units are being offered on a “best efforts” basis of up to $5,000,000 (the “Offering Amount”). The Units may be sold at one or more closings of the Offering (each a “Closing”, and, collectively, the “Closings”), at any time during the Offering Period (defined hereafter). The minimum investment amount that may be purchased by an Investor is one Unit of $25,000 (in principal face amount) (the “Investor Minimum Investment”); provided however, the Company, in its sole discretion, may accept an Investor subscription for an amount less than the Investor Minimum Investment. The subscription for the Units will be made in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement and the Memorandum.
All subscription funds will be held in a non-interest bearing escrow account in the Company’s name at Cross River Bank, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000, or with such other escrow agent as may be appointed by Grandview Capital Partners, Inc.

The Units will be offered through October 5, 2012 commencing on the date of the Memorandum (the “Offering Period”) provided, the Company may extend the Offering Period up to three (3) additional thirty (30) day periods in its sole discretion without notice to investors. In the event that (i) subscriptions for the Offering are rejected in whole (at the sole discretion of the Company), or (ii) the Offering is otherwise terminated by the Company, then the Escrow Agent will refund all subscription funds held in the Escrow Account to the persons who submitted such funds, without interest, penalty or deduction. If a subscription is rejected in part (at the sole discretion of the Company) and the Company accepts the portion not so rejected, the funds for the rejected portion of such subscription will be returned without interest, penalty, expense or deduction.
Simultaneous with the initial closing of the Offering, the Company intends to enter into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among (i) the Company, (ii) Grilled Cheese, Inc., a California S corporation, (“Grilled Cheese”), and (iii) the shareholders of Grilled Cheese (“Grilled Cheese Shareholders”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Grilled Cheese will become a xxxxx-owned subsidiary of the Company and we will assume the business and operations of Grilled Cheese.
The Company reserves the right (but is not obligated) to have its employees, agents, officers, directors and affiliates purchase Units in the Offering and all such purchases will be counted towards the Offering Amount.
The terms of the Offering are more completely described in the Memorandum and such terms are incorporated herein in their entirety. Certain capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the respective meanings provided in the Memorandum.
2. Payment. The Purchaser encloses herewith a check payable to, or will immediately make a wire transfer payment to, “Cross River Bank, as Escrow Agent for TRIG Acquisition 1, Inc.,” in the full amount of the purchase price of the Units being subscribed for. Together with the check for, or wire transfer of, the full purchase price, the Purchaser is delivering a completed and executed Signature Page to this Subscription Agreement along with a completed Accredited Investor Certification, and a completed Investor Profile which are annexed hereto.

All payments made as provided in Section 2 hereof will be deposited by the Purchaser as soon as practicable with Cross River Bank, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), or such other escrow agent appointed by the Company, in a non-interest bearing escrow account (the “Escrow Account”). In the event that the Company does not effect a Closing during the Offering Period, the Escrow Agent will refund all subscription funds, without deduction and/or interest accrued thereon, and will return the subscription documents to each Purchaser. If the Company rejects a subscription, either in whole or in part (at the sole discretion of the Company), the rejected subscription funds or the rejected portion thereof will be returned promptly to such Purchaser without interest, penalty, expense or deduction.
4. Purchase and Sale of Note.
Sale and Issuance of Note. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Purchaser agrees to purchase at the Closing (as defined below) and the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Purchaser a Note in the principal amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on the signature page hereto. The purchase price of each Note shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Note.

The purchase and sale of the Notes shall take place at such time and place as the Company and the Purchasers mutually agree upon, orally or in writing. In the event there is more than one closing, the term “Closing” shall apply to each such closing (including the initial closing), unless otherwise specified herein.
At each Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser the Note to be purchased by such Purchaser against (1) payment of the purchase price therefore by check payable to the Company or by wire transfer to a bank designated by the Company and (2) delivery of counterpart signature pages to this Agreement and the Note.

All such sales shall be made on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, and all other agreements contemplated hereby, any additional purchaser so acquiring Notes shall be deemed to be a “Purchaser” for purposes of this Agreement, and any notes so acquired by such additional purchaser shall be deemed to be “Notes”.
At each Closing, the Parties shall execute and deliver a Registration Rights Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights with respect to the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws.
Conversion. Each Purchaser understands and agrees that the conversion of the Notes into equity securities of the Company will require such Purchaser’s execution of certain agreements relating to the purchase and sale of such securities as well as any rights relating to such equity securities in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Purchaser and Company.
4. Acceptance of Subscription. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to accept this or any other subscription for the Units, in whole or in part, notwithstanding prior receipt by the Purchaser of notice of acceptance of this or any other subscription.

The Purchaser understands and agrees that purchase of the Securities is a high risk investment and the Purchaser is able to afford an investment in a speculative venture having the risks and objectives of the Company, including a risk of total loss of such investment. The Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Securities indefinitely because none of the Securities may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Legends will be placed on the certificates representing the Notes and Warrants and the shares of Common Stock underlying conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants to the effect that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company’s books.

The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for such Purchaser’s current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity from its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time;
The Purchaser is aware that an investment in the Securities involves a number of very significant risks and has carefully read and considered the matters set forth in the Memorandum and, in particular, the matters under the caption “Risk Factors” therein and understands any of such risk may materially adversely affect the Company’s operations and future prospects;
The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act and has truthfully and accurately completed the Purchaser Questionnaire attached to this Subscription Agreement and will submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company;
The Purchaser: (i) if a natural person, represents that the Purchaser has reached the age of 21 and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof; (ii) if a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company, or association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity, represents that such entity was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities, such entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and will not result in a violation of state law or its charter or other organizational documents, such entity has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to purchase and hold the Securities, the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action, this Subscription Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such entity and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity; or (iii) if executing this Subscription Agreement in a representative or fiduciary capacity, represents that it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement in such capacity and on behalf of the subscribing individual, xxxx, partnership, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity for whom the Purchaser is executing this Subscription Agreement, and such individual, partnership, xxxx, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity has full right and power to perform pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and make an investment in the Company, and represents that this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity.

6 |
If a Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act), such Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities. Such Purchaser’s subscription and payment for, and his or her continued beneficial ownership of the Securities, will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Purchaser’s jurisdiction. Such Purchaser also hereby represents that such Purchaser is not a “10-percent shareholder” as defined in Section 871(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Purchaser and its Advisors, if any, have had the opportunity to obtain any additional information, to the extent the Company had such information in its possession or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information contained in the Memorandum including, but not limited to, the terms and conditions of the Securities as set forth therein and the Transaction Documents and all other related documents, received or reviewed in connection with the purchase of the Securities and have had the opportunity to have representatives of the Company provide them with such additional information regarding the terms and conditions of this particular investment and the financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects of the Company deemed relevant by the Purchaser or its Advisors, if any, and all such requested information, to the extent the Company had such information in its possession or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, has been provided by the Company in writing to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser and its Advisors, if any;

The Purchaser has significant prior investment experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities. The Purchaser has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur. The Purchaser’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of the Purchaser’s net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Securities will not cause such commitment to become excessive. This investment is a suitable one for the Purchaser;
7 |
The Purchaser is satisfied that it has received adequate information with respect to all matters which it or its Advisors, if any, consider material to its decision to make this investment;
The Purchaser acknowledges that any and all estimates or forward-looking statements or projections included in the Memorandum were prepared by the Company in good faith, but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed, will not be updated by the Company and should not be relied upon;
No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Purchaser or its Advisors, if any, in connection with the offering of the Securities which are in any way inconsistent with the information contained in the Memorandum;
Within five (5) days after receipt of a request from the Company, the Purchaser will provide such information and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and ordinances to which the Company is subject;
Transfer Restrictions; Legends. The Purchaser understands that (i) the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act; (ii) the Securities are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, based in part upon the Company’s reliance upon the statements and representations made by the Purchasers in this Agreement, and that the Securities must be held by the Purchaser indefinitely, and that the Purchaser must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration; (iii) each Certificate representing the Securities will be endorsed with a legend substantially in the following form until the earlier of (1) such date as the Securities have been registered for resale by the Purchaser or (2) the date the Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor rule (“Rule 144”):
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
8 |
Any legend required by the Blue Sky laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by the certificate so legended. The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in connection with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such agreement or account, the Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer shall not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in connection with a subsequent transfer following default by the Purchaser transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder.
Certificates evidencing the Securities shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in this Section): (i) following a sale of such Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement), or (ii) following a sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC). Following such time as restrictive legends are not required to be placed on certificates representing the Securities, the Company will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing the Securities containing a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from the restrictive legend provided for in this Section. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the effective date of a registration statement covering the Securities if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. Certificates for the Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Purchasers by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company system.
Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities have not been recommended by any Federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority. In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of Company and the terms of the Offering, including the merits and risks involved. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of this Agreement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The Securities are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Securities Act, and the applicable state securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom. Investors should be aware that they will be required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period of time;

(For ERISA plans only) The fiduciary of the ERISA plan (the “Plan”) represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Purchaser or Plan fiduciary (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is independent of the Company and any of its affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, the Purchaser or Plan fiduciary has not relied on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates; and

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS
The USA PATRIOT Act |
What is money laundering? |
How big is the problem and why is it important? | ||
The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs. | Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism. | The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year. |
15 |
To help you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act. |
What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering? | ||
Under new rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with the new laws. | As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you. |

7. Transfer of Warrant.
(a) Warrant Register. The Company will maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the names and addresses of the Holder. The Holder may change his address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the Company requesting such change. Any notice or written communication required or permitted to be given to the Holder may be delivered or given by mail to the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register and at the address shown on the Warrant Register.

(d) Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Warrant and the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the 1933 Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under the 1933 Act and applicable regulations thereunder, such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Holder represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the 1933 Act. The Company is under no obligation to register any of the securities sold hereunder except as provided in Section 11 hereof. No public market now exists for this Warrant or the Shares and that it is uncertain whether a public market will ever exist for this Warrant or the Shares.
29 |
(ii) This Warrant and all certificates for the Shares issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required by state securities laws):
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SHARES UNDER SUCH ACT, (B) A “NO ACTION” LETTER OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SALE OR OFFER OR (C) SATISFACTORY ASSURANCES TO THE CORPORATION THAT REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT IS NOT REQUIRED WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SALE OR OFFER.”
Certificates evidencing the Warrant shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in this Section): (i) following a sale of such Warrant pursuant to an effective registration statement or (ii) following a sale of such Warrant pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC). Following such time as restrictive legends are not required to be placed on certificates representing the Warrant, the Company will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Holder to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing the Warrant containing a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder a certificate representing such Warrant that is free from the restrictive legend provided for in this Section. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the effective date of a registration statement covering the Warrant if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. Certificates for the Warrant subject to legend removal hereunder 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 Depository Trust Company system.
(e) Disposition of the Holder's Rights.
(i) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
30 |
(ii) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, 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. Subject to compliance with Section 7(e)(i), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial exercise date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
(f) Any entity to whom the Holder transfers any right to purchase the Shares pursuant to this Warrant or any of the Shares issuable upon the exercise of such right shall become a “Holder” for purposes of this Section 7.
8. Reservation of Stock. The Company covenants that during the term this Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) as the same may be amended from time to time to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. The Company further covenants that all shares that may be issued upon the exercise of rights represented by this Warrant, upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price, all as set forth herein, will be free from all taxes, liens, and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously or otherwise specified herein). The Company agrees 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 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
9. Amendments.
(a) Any term of the Warrants, including this Warrant, may be amended, and any waiver of any term of the Warrants may be granted, with the written consent of the Company and the holders of Warrants exercisable for at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock for which all Warrants are exercisable. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9 shall be binding upon the Holder and each future holder of the Warrant and the Company, notwithstanding the fact that the Holder or such future holder did not consent to such amendment or waiver.
(b) No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition or provision of the Warrants, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.

10. Adjustments. The Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Reclassification, etc. If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired shall, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Exercise Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 10.
(b) Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the same class, the Exercise Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.
(d) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 10, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request, at any time, of any such holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and readjustments; (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect; and (iii) the number of shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.
11. Registration Rights. Upon exercise of the Warrants, the shares of Common Stock issued as a result of such exercise shall have the same registration rights and be subject to the same restrictions as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
13. Miscellaneous.
(a) Additional Undertaking. The Holder hereby agrees to take whatever additional action and execute whatever additional documents the Company may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either the Holder or the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise hereof pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant.
(b) Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.
(c) Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and upon the Holder, the Holder's permitted assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the Holder's estate, whether or not any such person shall have become a party to this Warrant and have agreed in writing to join herein and be bound by the terms hereof.
32 |
(d) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. 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 of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
(e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Subscription Agreement.
(f) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Subscription Agreement.
(g) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(h) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
