any
additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information
given
to Purchaser. Purchaser is making its investment in the Company after having
reviewed, analyzed, sought professional advice regarding, and fully
understanding the risk, uncertainties, and liabilities associated with the

S.

either has been duly formed and is validly existing as a corporation or other
legal entity in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation set forth on the signature page to this Agreement or is an
individual who is not a citizen or resident of the United States. Purchaser
is
not organized under the laws of the United States and is not a “U.S. Person” as
that term is defined in Rule 902(o) of Regulation S.
(ii) Purchaser
was not formed for the purpose of investing in Regulation S securities or
for
the purpose of investing in the Securities sold under this Agreement. Purchaser
is not registered as an issuer under the Securities Act and is not required
to
be registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Purchaser is entering into this Agreement and is participating in the offering
of the Shares for its own account, and not on behalf of any U.S. Person as

Company has not made an offer to enter into this Agreement to Purchaser in
the
United States other than as permitted in the case of an account managed by
a

of
this Agreement and, to the best knowledge of Purchaser, at the time the offering

other
than as permitted in the case of an account managed by a professional fiduciary

of,
conditioning the markets in the United States for the Shares or for any
securities that are convertible into or exercisable for the common stock
of the
Company, including, but not limited to, effecting any sale or short sale
of the
Company’s securities through Purchaser or any of its Affiliates before the
expiration of any restricted period contained in Regulation S. To the best
knowledge of Purchaser, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it
are not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of
the
Securities Act, and Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for investment purposes.
Purchaser and, to the best knowledge of Purchaser, each distributor, if any,
participating in this offering of the Securities have agreed that they will
neither offer nor sell any Securities before the date hereof and through
the
expiration of the any
restricted period set forth in Rule 903 of Regulation S
(as
amended from time to time) to U.S. Persons or for the account or benefit
of U.S.
Persons, and they will offer or sell any of the Securities only in compliance
with the provisions of Regulation S and any other applicable provisions of
the
Securities Act. Purchaser and its representatives have not conducted any
Directed Selling Effort as that term is used and defined in Rule 902 of
Regulation S and will not engage in any Directed Selling Effort within the
United States through the expiration of any restricted period set forth in
Rule
903 of Regulation S.

sold may be resold within the jurisdiction of the United States or to U.S.

by a
person other than an issuer, underwriter, or dealer as those terms are used
in
Section 4(1) and related provisions of the Securities Act and regulations
or
pursuant to another exemption from registration, only following the expiration
of any restricted period (if applicable) required by Regulation S. Purchaser
acknowledges that this Agreement and the Securities have not been registered
under the Securities Act or qualified under state securities laws of the
United
States and that their transferability within the jurisdiction of the United
States is restricted by the Securities Act as well as state laws. Purchaser
acknowledges it has received a copy of Regulation S, is familiar with and
understands its terms, and has had the opportunity to consult with its legal
counsel concerning this Agreement and Regulation S.

Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such
knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters
so as
to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.
Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of
such
investment.
(f) General
Solicitation.
Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published
in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio
or

(g) Short
Sales and Confidentiality Prior To The Date Hereof.
Other
than the transaction contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not directly
or
indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any
understanding with such Purchaser, executed any disposition, including Short
Sales, in the securities of the Company during the period commencing from
the
time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet from the Company or
any
other Person setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated
hereunder until the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case
of a
Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio
managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser's assets and the portfolio
managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the
portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser's assets, the
representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion
of
assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision
to
purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons
party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality
of
all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including
the
existence and terms of this transaction).
10
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that each Purchaser does not make or has
not
made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section
3.2.
ARTICLE
IV- OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1
Transfer
Restrictions.
(a)
The
Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal
securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than
pursuant to an effective registration statement, Regulation S or Rule 144,
to
the Company or to an affiliate of a Purchaser, the Company may require the
transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected
by
the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance
of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the
effect
that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities
under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee
shall
agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have
the
rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement.
(b)
The
Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section
4.1(b), of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:
This
debenture has not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “Securities Act”), and, accordingly, may not be offered or sold
within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, US. Persons,
except as set forth below. By its acquisition hereof, the holder (1) represents
that it is not a U.S. Person and is acquiring this debenture in an offshore
transaction, (2) agrees that it will not within two
years
after
the original issuance of this debenture resell or otherwise transfer this
debenture except (a) to the company or any subsidiary thereof, (b) pursuant
to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (c) inside
the
United States to a qualified institutional buyer in compliance with Rule
144a
under the Securities Act, (d) inside the United States to an accredited investor
that, prior to such transfer, furnishes (or has furnished on its behalf by
a
United States broker-dealer) to the Company
a signed
letter containing certain representations and agreements relating to the
restrictions on transfer of this debenture (the form of which letter can
be
obtained from the Company),
(e)
outside the United States in an offshore transaction in compliance with rule
904
under the Securities Act or (f) pursuant to any other exemption from
registration under the Securities Act (if available) and (3) agrees that
it will
give to each person to whom this debenture is transferred a notice substantially
to the effect of this legend. In connection with any transfer of this debenture
within two years after original issuance of this debenture, if the proposed
transferee is an accredited investor, the holder must, prior to such transfer,
furnish to the company
and the
Company such certifications, legal opinions or other information as either
of
them may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant
to an exemption from or in a transaction not subject to the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. As used herein, the terms “offshore
transaction,” “United States” and “U.S. Person” have the meanings given to them
by Regulation S under the Securities Act.
11
(c)
Certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend
(including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a
registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the
resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following
any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such
Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such
legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act
(including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff
of
the Commission).
If
all or
any portion of a Debenture is converted or exercised (as applicable) at a
time
when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of
the
Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144(k)
or
if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of
the
Securities Act (including judicial interpretations thereof) then such Underlying
Shares shall be issued free of all legends.
The
Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such
legend
is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it 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 Underlying Shares, as
applicable, issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered
to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from
all
restrictive and other legends. 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.
(d)
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 4.1 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.
4.2 Conversion
Procedures.
The
form of Notice of Conversion included in the Debentures set forth the totality
of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to convert the Debentures.
No additional legal opinion or other information or instructions shall be
required of the Purchasers to convert their Debentures. The Company shall
honor
conversions of the Debentures and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance
with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction
Documents.
4.3 Non-Public
Information.
The
Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting
on its
behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information
that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless
prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding
the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands
and
confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations
in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
4.4 Use
of
Proceeds.
The
Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder
substantially for the development of the French Gulch Mine.
12
4.5 Reservation
and Listing of Securities.
The
Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common
Stock
for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may
be
required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction
Documents.
4.6 Equal
Treatment of Purchasers.
No
consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent
to a
waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents
unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the
Transaction Documents. Further, the Company shall not make any payment of
principal or interest on the Debentures in amounts which are disproportionate
to
the respective principal amounts outstanding on the Debentures at any applicable
time. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right
granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each
Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class
and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert
or as
a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities
or
otherwise.
4.7 Delivery
of Securities after Closing. The Company will deliver, or cause to be delivered,
the respective Shares and Warrants purchased by each Purchaser to the Purchaser
within 3 Trading Days of the Closing Date.
4.8Resale
by
Purchaser. Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges, severally and not
jointly with any other Purchaser, that the SEC takes the position that the
coverage of short sales of shares of the Common Stock “against the box” before
the Effective Date of the Registration Statement with the Shares is a violation
of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section 5 under
Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations,
dated
July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation
Finance. Accordingly, no Purchaser will use any of the Shares to cover any
short
sales made before the Effective Date. Further, each Purchaser will comply
with
any obligations it may have under Regulation M with respect to the resale
of the
Securities.
4.9 Not
Future Indebtedness.
So long
as any Debenture is outstanding, the Company shall not, and shall not permit
any
of its subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, without the prior approval
of
Purchaser, other than in the ordinary course of businees or pursuant to existing
obligations,
enter
into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness
for
borrowed money of any kind, including but not limited to, a guarantee, on
or
with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired
or
any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;
ARTICLE

Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement
of
any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any
provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to
be a
continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or
a
waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall
any
delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any
manner
impair the exercise of any such right.
5.5 Headings.
The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language
chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party.
5.6 Successors
and Assigns.
This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and
their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written

to
the “Purchasers”.

Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective

5.8 Governing
Law.
All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without regard
to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal
proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents
(whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors,
officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively
in
the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Reno. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of Reno, State of Nevada for the adjudication
of any
dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of
any of
the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not
to
assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or
proceeding is improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding.
Each
party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents
to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a
copy
thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence
of
delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under

action or proceeding.
14

covenants
and other agreements of the parties shall survive the Closing. The representations
and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery,
exercise and/or conversion of the Securities for two
years.
5.10 Execution.
This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when
taken
together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered
to the
other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation
of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the
same
force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original
thereof.
5.11 Severability.
If any
provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and
the
parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that
is a
reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such
substitute provision in this Agreement.
5.12 Replacement
of Securities.
If any
certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution

reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction
and
customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new
certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable
third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement
Securities.
5.13 Remedies.
In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted
by
law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company
will
be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents The
parties
agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing
sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance
of
any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
5.14 Payment
Set Aside.
To the
extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant
to
any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights
thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement
or
exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are
required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee,
receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation,
any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action),
then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full
force
and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff
had not occurred.
15
5.15 Usury.
To the
extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon
or
plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts
to
be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action
or
proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right
or
remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and
provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents
for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful
rate
authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum
Rate”),
and,
without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or
default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in
the
nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the
Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the
maximum
contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction
Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental
action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest
allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents
from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by
applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess
of the
Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to
indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be
applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such
indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess
to be at such Purchaser’s election.
5.16 Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights.
The
obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several
and not
joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall
be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in
any
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association,
a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to
such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
Each
Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights,
including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or
out of
the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other
Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel
in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.
5.17 Construction.
The
parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed
and
had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the
normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation
of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

Conversion.
At any

outstanding, this Debenture shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock
(“Conversion
Shares”)
at the
option of the Holder, in whole or in part,
at any
time and from time to time. The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering
to
the Company the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as
Annex
A
(a
“Notice
of Conversion”),
specifying therein the principal amount of this Debenture,
and
accrued interest thereon,
to be
converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a
“Conversion
Date”).
If no
Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date
shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is provided hereunder. To
effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender this Debenture to the Company unless the entire principal amount
of
this Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon has been so
converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the
outstanding principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the
applicable conversion. Any and all conversion hereunder shall be made in
amounts
of not less than $10,000 (and in increments
of $10,000)
unless
the balance of the outstanding debenture amount is less than $10,000 and
then in
such event, the entire amount of the debenture shall be converted into shares
of
Common Stock if Holder elects to convert
such
balance.
4.2 Conversion
Records.
The
Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount
converted and the date of such conversions. The Company shall deliver a copy
of
its records as to Holder in a reasonable time following any conversion. If
Holder disagrees with the Company’s records, Holder shall provide notice of such
objection to the Company within twenty days following the Company’s mailing of
such record to holder. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records
of the Company shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest
error. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge
and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following
conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal
amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holders right to convert
hereunder shall in no way excuse the Company from having to meet its obligation
to pay the outstanding principal and interest on this Debenture nor shall
it
limit the Holder’s right to seek any other remedy against the Company for
failing to meet such obligations. The right to convert this Debenture into
Conversion Shares is in addition to any other rights or remedies the Holder
may
have hereunder or under law.
A-3
4.3 Conversion
Price.
The
conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be $0.75 (subject
to
adjustment
as
provided
herein)(the “Conversion
Price”).
4.4 Mechanics
of Conversion
(a) Conversion
Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount.
The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall
be
determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal
amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion
Price.
(b) Delivery
of Certificate Upon Conversion.
Not
later than seven Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company will
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates
representing the Conversion Shares which shall be free of restrictive legends
and trading restrictions (other than those required by the Purchase Agreement)
representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the
conversion of this Debenture including payment of interest in shares of Common
Stock. The Company shall, if available and if allowed under applicable
securities laws, use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates
required to be delivered by the Company under this Section electronically
through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing
corporation performing similar functions.
(c) Failure
to Deliver Certificates.
If in
the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are
not
delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the third Trading
Day
after a Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to
the
Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates
thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall
immediately return the certificates representing the principal amount of
this
Debenture tendered for conversion.
(d) Reservation
of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion.
The
Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out
of
its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose
of
issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this
Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other
actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (and the
other holders of the Debentures), not less than such number of shares of
the
Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and
restrictions of Section 6) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal
amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The Company
covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall,
upon
issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, and
nonassessable.
(e) Fractional
Shares.
The
Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of fractional shares, one whole
share of Common Stock.
(g). Transfer
Taxes.
The
issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of
this
Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary
stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery
of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay
any
tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance
and
delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that
of
the Holder of this Debenture so converted and the Company shall not be required
to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons
requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount
of
such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that
such
tax has been paid.
A-4
Section
5. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges
5.1 Different
Denominations.
This
Debenture is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures
of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same. No service charge will be made for such registration of transfer
or
exchange.
5.2 Investment
Representations.
This
Debenture has been issued subject to certain investment representations of
the
original Holder set forth in the Purchase Agreement and may be transferred
or
exchanged only in compliance with the Purchase Agreement and applicable federal
and state securities laws and regulations.
5.3 Reliance
on Debenture Register.
Prior
to due presentment to the Company for transfer of this Debenture, the Company
and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Debenture
is duly registered on the Debenture Register as the owner hereof for the
purpose
of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether
or
not this Debenture is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent
shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section
6. Certain Adjustments
6.1 Stock
Dividends and Stock Splits.
If the
Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (A) pays a stock
dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of
its
Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable
in
shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include
any
shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Debenture,
including as interest thereon), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares,
or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares
of
capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion 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 re-classification.
6.2 Subsequent
Equity Issuances.
If the
Company or any subsidiary thereof, at any time while any Debenture is
outstanding, issues, sells or grants any option to purchase or issues, sells
or
grants any right to reprice its securities, or otherwise disposes of or issues
(or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition
of)
any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire
shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than
the
higher of (i) the then Conversion Price and (ii) 80% of the then VWAP (such
lower effective price price per share, the “Base
Conversion Price”
and
such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive
Issuance”)
(if a
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 that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be
deemed
to have occurred for less than the higher of the then Conversion Price or
80% of
the then VWAP, as applicable, on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then
the
Conversion Price shall be reduced, and only reduced, by multiplying the
Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares
of Common Stock issued and outstanding (on a fully-diluted basis) immediately
prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock
which
the actual cash offering price for such Dilutive Issuance would purchase
at the
then Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the
number
of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (on a fully-diluted basis)
immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares of Common
Stock and Common Stock Equivalents so issued or issuable in connection with
the
Dilutive Issuance, but in no event shall such adjustment reduce the Conversion
Price to less than $0.05.
A-5
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 6.2 in respect
of
an Exempt Issuance.
The
Company shall notify each Holder in writing, no later than the five (5) Business
Days prior to the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
subject to this Section 6.2, 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 6.2, upon the occurrence of any
Dilutive Issuance, each Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion
Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such
Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether such Holder accurately refers to
the
Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.
6.3 Fundamental
Transaction.
If, at
any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any
merger
or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company
effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series
of
related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by
the
Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities,
cash or property, or (D) 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 conversion of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the
right to receive, for each Conversion 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 Conversion 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
Conversion Price among the Alternate 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 Debenture 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 debenture consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing
the Holder’s right to convert such debenture 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 paragraph (d) and insuring that this Debenture
(or
any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent
transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
A-6
6.4 Calculations.
All
calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section
6,
the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding
as of a
given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
6.5 Notice
to the Holder.
(a) Adjustment
to Conversion Price.
Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of this Section
6, the
Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion
Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment. If the Company issues a variable rate security,
despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall
be
deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest
possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted
or exercised in the case of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement).
(b) Notice
to Allow Conversion by Holder.
If (A)
the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common
Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend
on or
a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) 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; (D) 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; (E) the Company shall
authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of
the affairs of the Company
or (F)
the Company shall authorize entering into any other type of Fundamental
Transaction;
then,
in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency
maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Debenture, and shall cause
to
be mailed to the Holder at its last addresses as it shall appear upon the
stock
books of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record
or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) 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 Common Stock of record to be entitled to such
dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined
or
(y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange,
or
other Fundamental Transaction,
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,
or
other Fundamental Transaction;
provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in
the
mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required
to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to convert this Debenture
during the 20-day period commencing the date of such notice to the effective
date of the event triggering such notice.
Section
7. Optional Prepayment Right
Prior
to
the later of (i) August 3, 2007 and (ii) the date on which the Conversion
Shares
are registered pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared
effective by the Commission, the Company may only prepay the Debenture with
the
approval of the holder thereof. Following August 3, 2007, upon the Conversion
Shares being registered pursuant to a registration statement filed with and
declared effective by the Commission, the Company may,
upon
five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Holder, prepay
in
part or in full the Debenture in accordance with this Section 7.
The
prepayment amount must be $300,000 or a greater amount. Notice
of
any
proposed
prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment”) shall be delivered to the
Holder
of the
Debentures and shall state (1) that the Company wishes
to
prepay the Debentures issued on the Original Issue Date and (2) the date
of
prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Notice”). Subject
to receiving the written consent of the Holder, on
the date
fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Company shall make
payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to the Holder.
If
the Company prepays
a
Debenture, the Company shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash
equal to the
principal amount to
be
prepaid
plus any
amount of interest owed hereunder to the Holder (“Optional Prepayment Amounts”).
The Holder shall at all times prior to the Optional Prepayment Date maintain
the
right to convert all or any portion of the Debenture (and,
thereafter, any unconverted portion) and
any
portion of Debenture so converted after receipt of an Optional Prepayment
Notice
and prior to the Optional Prepayment Date set forth in such notice and payment
of the aggregate Optional Prepayment Amount shall be deducted from the principal
amount of Debenture which is otherwise subject to prepayment pursuant to
such
notice.

A-9
9.2 Absolute
Obligation.
Except
as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Debenture shall alter
or
impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,
to
pay the principal of, interest and liquidated damages (if any) on, this
Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein
prescribed. This Debenture is a direct debt obligation of the Company. This
Debenture is second in priority to the previous Company/Holder $3,000,000
Debenture covering substantially the same subject matter as this
Debenture.
9.3 Lost
or Mutilated Debenture.
If this
Debenture shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall
execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
of a
mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen
or
destroyed Debenture, a new Debenture for the principal amount of this Debenture
so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed but only upon receipt of evidence
of
such loss, theft or destruction of such Debenture, and of the ownership hereof,
and indemnity, if requested, all reasonably satisfactory to the
Company.
9.4 Governing
Law.
All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Debenture shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the principles
of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings
concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against
a
party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting
in the City of Reno, State of Nevada (the “Nevada
Courts”).
Each
party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the
Nevada Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection
herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein
(including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents),
and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action
or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction
of
any such court, or such Nevada Courts are improper or inconvenient venue
for
such proceeding.
Each
party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents
to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a
copy
thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence
of
delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under
this
Debenture and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by
law.
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by
applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Debenture or the transactions contemplated
hereby. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce
any
provisions of this Debenture, then the prevailing party in such action or
proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and
other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and
prosecution of such action or proceeding.
9.5 Waiver.
Any
waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this
Debenture shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other
breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this
Debenture. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict
adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions shall not
be
considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist
upon
strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Debenture. Any waiver
must be in writing.
9.6 Severability.
If any
provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance
of
this Debenture shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable
to
any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all
other
persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other
amount deemed interest due hereunder violates applicable laws governing usury,
the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered
to
equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The Company covenants (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon,
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage
of,
any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive
the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest
on
this Debenture as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance
of this
indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants
that
it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impeded the execution
of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.
A-10
9.7 Next
Business Day.
Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day
other
than a Business Day or Trading Day, such payment or obligation shall be made
or
performed on the next succeeding Business Day.
9.8 Headings.
The
headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part
of
this Debenture and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.
9.9 Assumption.
Any
successor to the Company or surviving entity in a Fundamental Transaction
shall
(i) assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Debenture
and the other Transaction Documents pursuant to written agreements in form
and
substance satisfactory to the Holder (such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) to issue
to
the Holder a new debenture of such successor entity evidenced by a written
instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Debenture,
including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate
equal
to the principal amounts and the interest rates of the Debentures held by
the
Holder and having similar ranking to this Debenture, and satisfactory to
the
Holder (any such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The
provisions of this Section 9.9
shall
apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall
be
applied without regard to any limitations of this Debenture.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Debenture to be duly executed
by a
duly authorized officer as of the date first above indicated.

or
cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or
qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification) of

the Registerable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided,

by Holders.
Each
Holder will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the
Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section
20
of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of
the
controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from
and
against all Losses arising out of or based solely upon (i) the Holder’s failure
to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act
or
(ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any
Registration Statement, or arising out of or relating to any omission or
alleged
omission of a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the
statements not misleading but only if the untrue statement or omission is
contained in written information furnished by the Holder to the Company
specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement.
B-3
(b) Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings.
If any
Proceeding is brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity
under
this Agreement (an “Indemnified
Party”),
the
Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is
sought
(the “Indemnifying
Party”)
in
writing, and the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and
will
pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense; but an
Indemnified Party’s failure to give the notice does not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, unless
a
court of competent jurisdiction (whose decision is not subject to appeal
or
further review) decides that the failure has prejudiced the Indemnifying
Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel
in any Proceeding and participate in the defense, and will bear the expense
of
the counsel unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay
the
fees and expenses, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed promptly to assume
the
defense of the Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the
Indemnified Party, or (iii) the named parties to the Proceeding (including
any
impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying
Party, and the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that a material conflict
of
interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if the Indemnified
Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ
separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying
Party may not assume the defense and must bear the reasonable fees and expenses
of the separate counsel). The Indemnifying Party is not liable for any
settlement of any Proceeding without its written consent, which consent cannot
be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party will, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, settle any Proceeding that includes an
Indemnified Party unless the settlement includes an unconditional release
of the
Indemnified Party from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter
of the Proceeding. The Indemnifying Party will pay all reasonable fees and
expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses
incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend a Proceeding
in
a manner consistent with this Section) to the Indemnified Party within ten
Trading Days of written notice to the Indemnifying Party.
(c) Contribution.
If a
claim for indemnification under Section 5(a)
is
unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise),
then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Party,
will contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as
a
result of the Losses, in the proportion that is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection
with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in the Losses and
any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying
Party and Indemnified Party must be determined by referring to, among other
things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material
fact,
has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, the
Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the
action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a
result
of any Losses is deemed to include, subject to the limitations set out in
this
Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses
incurred by the party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent that
the
party would have been indemnified for the fees or expenses if the
indemnification provided for in this Section 5
was
available to the party.
The
parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant
to this Section 5(c)
were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that
does
not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. The indemnity and contribution agreements
contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying
Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.
B-4
6. Miscellaneous
(a) Remedies.
If the
Company or a Holder breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement,
each
Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled
to
exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, is entitled
to
specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.
(b) Compliance.
Each
Holder will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registerable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(c) Discontinued
Disposition.
Each
Holder will, when it receives a notice from the Company under Section
3(f),
immediately stop selling the Registerable Securities under the Registration
Statement until the Holder has received written notice from the Company that
the
use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed. The Company will use its
best
efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly
as
is practicable.
(d) Amendments
and Waivers.
This
Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents
to departures from its provisions may not be given, unless they are written
and
signed by the Company and each Holder of the then outstanding Registerable
Securities.
(e) Notices.
Any
notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be
provided hereunder must be made in accordance with the provisions of the
Purchase Agreement.
(f) Successors
and Assigns.
This
Agreement inures to the benefit of and binds the successors and permitted
assigns of each of the parties and inures to the benefit of each
Holder.
(g) Execution
and Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and delivered to
the
other parties by any means, each of which when so executed is deemed to be
an
original and, all of which taken together will constitute one and the same
Agreement.
(h) Governing
Law.
All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Agreement will be determined with the provisions of the Purchase
Agreement.
(i) Cumulative
Remedies.
The
remedies provided are cumulative and do not exclude any remedies provided
by
law.
(j) Severability.
If any
term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court
of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the
remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions remain in
full
force and effect and are in no way affected, impaired or invalidated, and
the
parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ
an
alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as
that
contemplated by the term, provision, covenant or restriction. The parties
stipulate that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions without including any that might be declared invalid,
illegal, void or unenforceable.
B-5
(k) Headings.
The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not
limit or otherwise affect the meaning.
(l) Independent
Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights.
The
obligations of each Holder are several and not joint with the obligations
of any
other Holder, and no Holder can be responsible in any way for the performance
of
the obligations of any other Holder. Nothing in the Transaction Documents
delivered at any Closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant to them,
can be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association,
a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Holders are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations
or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Holder is entitled to protect
and enforce its rights and it is not necessary for any other Holder to be
joined
as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

including, but without limitation, delivering to Secured Party,
upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, irrevocable proxies in respect of
the
Collateral in form satisfactory to Secured Parties. Until receipt thereof,
upon
an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing beyond any applicable
grace period, this Agreement shall constitute Pledgor’s proxy to Secured Parties
or its nominee to vote all shares of Collateral then registered in the
Pledgor’s
name.
The

Voting
Rights and Dividends.
So long
as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgor
shall
be entitled to exercise or refrain from exercising any and all voting and
other
consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Stock
for
any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Purchase
Agreement; provided,
however,
that
the Pledgor shall not exercise any such right if the Secured Party shall
have
notified the Pledgor that, in the Secured Party’s judgment, such action would
have an
adverse
effect on the value of the Pledged
Stock or any part thereof; and provided,
further,
that
the Pledgor shall give the
Secured Party at least five days’ prior
written
notice of the manner in
which
it
intends
to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such
right.
So long
as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgor
shall
be entitled to receive any and all cash dividends paid on the Pledged
Stock.
In
addition to the Secured Party’s
rights and remedies set forth in Section 8 hereof, in case an Event of
Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) all rights of the Pledgor to
exercise
the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled
to
exercise pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall cease, and
all
such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured Party who shall
thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual
rights; (ii) all rights of Pledgor to receive the dividends or other
distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain
pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall cease, and all such
rights
shall thereupon become vested in the Secured Party who shall thereupon
have the
sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends or other
distributions.
Following
the occurrence of an Event of Default, all dividends and all other distributions
in respect of any of the Collateral, shall be delivered to the Secured
Party
to hold
as Collateral and shall, if received by the Pledgor, be received in trust
for
the benefit of the Secured Party,
be
segregated from the other property or funds of Pledgor, and be forthwith
delivered to the Secured Party
as
Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement).
C-5
In
order
to permit the Secured Party to exercise the voting and other consensual
rights
which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 6 and to
receive
all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive
herein, (i) the Pledgor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to
be
executed and delivered) to the Secured Party all such proxies, dividend
payment
orders and other instruments as the Secured Party may from time to time
reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of the immediately
preceding clause (i), the Pledgor hereby grants to the Secured Party an
irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Stock pledged by it hereunder and
to
exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder
of
such Pledged Stock would be entitled (including, without limitation, giving
or
withholding written consents of shareholders or members, calling special
meetings of shareholders or members and voting at such meetings), which
proxy
shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action
(including any transfer of any such Pledged Stock on the record books of
the
issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of such Pledged
Stock
or any officer or agent thereof), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
and
which proxy shall only terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full
in cash
of the Obligations.
7.
Event
of Default.
An
“Event of Default” under this Agreement shall occur upon the happening of any of
the following events:
(a)
an
“Event
of Default” under any Transaction Document or any agreement or note related to
any Transaction Document shall have occurred;
(b)
the
Pledgor shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under
any
Transaction Document, including, without limitation, this Agreement, and
such
default shall not be cured during the cure period applicable
thereto;
(c)
any
representation or warranty of the Pledgor made herein, in any Transaction
Document or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing
pursuant
hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall be false
or
misleading in any material respect;
(d)
any
portion of the Collateral is subjected to a levy of execution, attachment,
distraint or other judicial process or any portion of the Collateral is
the
subject of a claim (other than by the Secured Party)
of a
Lien or other right or interest in or to the Collateral and such levy or
claim
shall not be cured, disputed or stayed within a period of fifteen (15)
business
days after the occurrence thereof; or
(e)
the
Pledgor shall (i) apply for, consent to, or suffer to exist the appointment

or the taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian, trustee, liquidator
or
other fiduciary of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property,
(ii)
make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) commence

in effect), (iv) be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, (v) file a petition
seeking to take advantage of any other law providing for the relief of

laws, or
(vii) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the
foregoing.
C-6
8.
Remedies.
In case
an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Secured
Party
may:
(a)
transfer
any or all of the Collateral into its
name, or
into the name of its
nominee
or nominees;
(b)
exercise
all corporate rights with respect to the Collateral including, without
limitation, all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other
rights, privileges or options pertaining to any shares of the Collateral
as if
the Secure Party
were the
absolute owner thereof, including, but without limitation, the right to
exchange, at their discretion, any or all of the Collateral upon the merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of
the
Issuer thereof, or upon the exercise by the Issuer of any right, privilege
or
option pertaining to any of the Collateral, and, in connection therewith,
to
deposit and deliver any and all of the Collateral with any committee,
depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such
terms
and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account
for
property actually received by it; and
(c)
subject
to any requirement of applicable law, sell, assign and deliver the whole
or,
from time to time, any part of the Collateral at the time held by the Secured
Party,
at any
private sale or at public auction, with or without demand, advertisement
or
notice of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or otherwise
(all of
which are hereby waived, except such notice as is required by applicable
law and
cannot be waived), for cash or credit or for other property for immediate
or
future delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the
Secured
Party
in its
sole discretion may determine, or as may be required by applicable
law.
The
Pledgor hereby waives and releases any and all right or equity of redemption,
whether before or after sale hereunder. At any such sale, unless prohibited
by
applicable law, the Secured Party
may bid
for and purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold free from
any
such right or equity of redemption. All moneys received by the Secured
Party
hereunder, whether upon sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or otherwise,
shall be held by the Secured Party
and
applied as provided in Section 10 hereof. No failure or delay on the part
of the
Secured Party
in
exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such rights
nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such rights preclude any other
or
future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other rights hereunder.
The
Secured Party
shall
have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any
income
thereon nor any duty as to preservation of any rights pertaining thereto,
except
to apply the funds in accordance with the requirements of Section 10 hereof.
The
Secured Party
may
exercise their rights with respect to property held hereunder without resort
to
other security for or sources of reimbursement for the Obligations. In
addition
to the foregoing, Secured Party
shall
have all of the rights, remedies and privileges of a secured party under
the
Uniform Commercial Code of Nevada (the “UCC”) regardless of the jurisdiction in
which enforcement hereof is sought.
C-7
9.
Private
Sale.
The
Pledgor recognizes that the Secured Party
may be
unable to effect (or to do so only after delay which would adversely affect
the
value that might be realized from the Collateral) a public sale of all
or part
of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities
Act, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted
group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to
acquire
such Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view
to the
distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor agrees that any such private
sale
may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than if sold
at
public sales and that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made
in a
commercially reasonable manner. The Pledgor agrees that the Secured Party
has
no
obligation to delay sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary
to
permit French Gulch to register the Collateral for public sale under the
Securities Act.
10.
Proceeds
of Sale.
The
proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization
or
sale of the Collateral shall be applied by the Secured Party
as
follows:
(a)
first,
to
the payment of all costs, reasonable expenses and charges of the Secured
Party
and to
the reimbursement of the Secured Party
for the
prior payment of such costs, reasonable expenses and charges incurred in
connection with the care and safekeeping of the Collateral (including,
without
limitation, the reasonable expenses of any sale or any other disposition
of any
of the Collateral), attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses, court costs, any
other fees or expenses incurred or expenditures or advances made by Secured
Party
in the
protection, enforcement or exercise of its rights, powers or remedies
hereunder;
(b)
second,
to the payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part, in such order as
the
Secured Party
may
elect, whether or not such Obligations are
then
due;
(c)
third,
to
such persons, firms, corporations or other entities as required by applicable
law including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC;
and
(d)
fourth,
to the extent of any surplus,
to the
Pledgor
or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
In
the
event that the proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation,
realization or sale are insufficient to satisfy the Obligations, the Pledgor
shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency plus the costs
and fees
of any attorneys employed by Secured Party
to
collect such deficiency.
11.
No
Waiver.
Any and
all of the Secured Party’s
rights
with respect to the Liens granted under this Agreement shall continue
unimpaired, and Pledgor shall be and remain obligated in accordance with
the
terms hereof, notwithstanding (a) the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
of any Pledgor, (b) the release or substitution of any item of the Collateral
at
any time, or of any rights or interests therein, or (c) any delay, extension
of
time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the Secured
Party
in
reference to any of the Obligations. The Pledgor hereby waives all notice
of any
such delay, extension, release, substitution, renewal, compromise or other
indulgence, and hereby consents to be bound hereby as fully and effectively
as
if such Pledgor had expressly agreed thereto in advance. No delay or extension
of time by the Secured Party
in
exercising any power of sale, option or other right or remedy hereunder,
and no
failure by the Secured Party
to give
notice or make demand, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit, impair
or
prejudice the Secured Party’s
right
to take any action against any Pledgor or to exercise any other power of
sale,
option or any other right or remedy.
C-8
12.
Expenses.
The
Collateral shall secure, and the
Pledgor
shall pay to Secured Party
on
demand, from time to time, all reasonable costs and expenses, (including
but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, taxes, and all transfer,
recording, filing and other charges) of, or incidental to, the custody,
care,
transfer, administration of the Collateral or any other collateral, or
in any
way relating to the enforcement, protection or preservation of the rights
or
remedies of the Secured Party
under
this Agreement or with respect to any of the Obligations.
13.
The
Secured Party
Appointed Attorney-In-Fact and Performance by the Secured
Parties.
Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Pledgor
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Party
as the
Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to
execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to do in the
Pledgor’s name, place and stead, all such acts, things and deeds for and on
behalf of and in the name of such Pledgor, which the
Pledgor
could or might do or which the Secured Party
may deem
necessary, desirable or convenient to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, to execute such instruments of assignment
or
transfer or orders and to register, convey or otherwise transfer title
to the
Collateral into the Secured Party’s
name.
The Pledgor hereby ratifies and confirms all that said attorney-in-fact
may so
do and hereby declares this power of attorney to be coupled with an interest
and
irrevocable. If any Pledgor fails to perform any agreement herein contained,
the
Secured Party
may
itself perform or cause performance thereof, and any costs and expenses
of the
Secured Party
incurred
in connection therewith shall be paid by the Pledgor as provided in Section
10
hereof.
14. Continuing
Security Interest; Transfer Of Secured Obligations. This

COMMON
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
To
purchase 1,333,334 shares of common stock of
BULLION
RIVER GOLD CORP.
Dated:
March
12, 2007
This
common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value
received, Xxxxx Participation Corp. (the “Holder”), is entitled, upon the terms
and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter
set
forth, at any time on or after March 12, 2007 (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and
by the close of business on March 12, 2009 (the “Termination Date”) but not
thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Bullion River Gold Corp.,
a
Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to 1,333,334 shares
(subject
to adjustment as provided herein)
(the
“Warrant Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company
(the “Common Stock”). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this
Warrant is equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2.
1. Definitions.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Warrant have the
same
meanings as they have in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”), March 12, 2007, among the Company and the Holder as
Purchaser.
2. Exercise
Price.
The
exercise price of the Common Stock under this Warrant is $1.00, as adjusted
from
time to time pursuant to Section 5 hereof (the “Exercise Price”).
3. Exercise
of Warrant.
The
Holder may exercise the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, in whole
or
in part, at any time and from time to time from the Initial Exercise Date
to
five o’clock in the afternoon, Reno time, on the Termination Date by delivering
to the Company (i) a duly executed facsimile copy of the annexed Notice of
Exercise, and, (ii) within 5 Trading Days of delivering the Notice of Exercise
to the Company, (A) this Warrant, and (B) by wire,
or
cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank,
the
United States dollar amount equal to the number of Warrant Shares being
purchased times the Exercise Price (the “Exercise Amount”).
D-1
4. Mechanics
of Exercise.
4.1 Authorization
of Warrant Shares.
The
Company will issue all Warrant Shares as duly authorized, validly issued,
fully
paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges (other
than
taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with the issue).
4.2 Delivery
of Certificates Upon Exercise.
The
Company’s transfer agent will deliver certificates for Warrant Shares to the
Holder to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within
3
Trading Days from the later of (A) the Company’s receipt of the Notice of
Exercise, (B) the Holder’s surrender of this Warrant, and (C) the Company’s
receipt of the Exercise Amount as set out in Section 2 (“Warrant Share Delivery
Date”). This Warrant is deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise
Amount is received by the Company (“Exercise Date”); and the Warrant Shares are
deemed to have been issued, and Holder is deemed to have become a holder
of
record of the shares for all purposes, on the Exercise Date.
4.3 Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise.
If this
Warrant is exercised in part, the Company will, when it delivers the certificate
or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares,
identical in all other respects with this Warrant.
4.4. Rescission
Rights.
If the
Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a
certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares by the Warrant
Share
Delivery Date, then the Holder may rescind the exercise,
in
addition to its other rights and remedies.
4.5 No
Fractional Shares or Scrip.
No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares may be issued upon
the
exercise of this Warrant. If the Holder would otherwise be entitled to
fractional shares upon the exercise, the Company will pay a cash adjustment
in
respect of the fraction in an amount equal to the fraction multiplied by
the
Exercise Price.
4.6 Charges,
Taxes and Expenses.
The
Company will issue certificates for Warrant Shares in the name of the Holder
and
will not charge the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental
expense in respect of the issuance of the certificate.
4.7 Closing
of Books.
The
Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner that
prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant.
5. Certain
Adjustments.
5.1 Stock
Dividends and Splits.
If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock
dividend or otherwise makes a distribution on shares of its Common Stock
or any
other Common Stock Equivalent (which, for avoidance of doubt, does not include
any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Warrant),
(ii)
subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares,
(iii) combines 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 the Exercise Price must be
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of shares of
Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before the event
and of which the denominator is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
after the event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant
must be proportionately adjusted by this fraction. Any adjustment made pursuant
to this Section 6 is effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive the dividend or distribution
and is effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision, combination or re-classification.
D-2
5.2 Subsequent
Equity Issuancess.
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 its securities, 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 higher of
the (i)
then Conversion Price and (ii) 80% of the then VWAP (such lower effective
price
per share, 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 Conversion Price, such issuance shall be
deemed
to have occurred for less than the higher of (i) the Conversion Price or
(ii)
80% of the then VWAP, as applicable, on such date of the Dilutive Issuance),
then (i) the Exercise Price shall be reduced, and only reduced, to equal
the
Exercise Price multiplied by the Base Share Price divided by the Conversion
Price of the Debenture and (ii) 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 prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall
be
made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued
under this Section 5.2 in respect of an Exempt Issuance. 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, 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.
D-3
5.3 Fundamental
Transaction.
If, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
(i) the
Company merges or consolidates with or into another Person, (ii) the Company
sells all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (iii) any Person completes a tender offer or exchange offer
by
which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares
for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company reclassifies
its
Common Stock or completes 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 conversion of this Warrant, the Holder has the right to receive,
for
each Warrant Share that would have been issued upon the exercise absent the
Fundamental Transaction, the same consideration as the Company has given
its
other holders of its Common Stock for the conversion of each share of Common
Stock outstanding at the time of the Fundamental Transaction (the “Alternate
Consideration”).
Any
successor to the Company or surviving entity in a Fundamental Transaction
must
issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions
with
evidence of the Holder’s right to exercise the warrant into Alternate
Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is completed must include terms requiring the successor or surviving
entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.3
and
insuring that this Warrant (or any replacement security) is similarly adjusted
upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental
Transaction.
5.4 Adjustment
Upon Default.
The
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
automatically increased by twenty-five percent (25%) upon any Event of Default
occurring under any of the Debentures.
5.5 Calculations.
All
calculations under this Warrant must be made to the nearest cent or the nearest
1/100th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time does not include shares of Common Stock owned
or
held by or for the account of the Company. For the purposes of this Section
5,
the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding
as of a
given date is the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
5.6 Notice
to Holders.
If the
Company makes adjustments under this Section 5, the Company will promptly
mail
to each Holder a notice containing a description of the event that required
the
adjustment. If the Company proposes any transaction that affects the rights
of
the holders of its Common Stock, then the Company will notify the Holders
of the
proposal at least twenty (20) days
before the record date set for the transaction.
6. Warrant
Register.
The
Company will register this Warrant on its warrant register and will treat
the
registered Holder as the absolute owner for all purposes.
D-4
7. Miscellaneous.
7.1 Transfer.
This
Warrant is transferable
by Holder in whole or in part upon notice to the Company.
7.2 No
Rights as Shareholder until Exercise Date.
This
Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights
as a
shareholder of the Company before the Exercise Date. Upon the surrender of
this
Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, the Company will
issue
the Warrant Shares to the Holder as the record owner of the Warrant Shares
as of
the close of business on the Exercise Date.
7.3 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,
and upon surrender and cancellation of the 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 the cancellation, in lieu of the Warrant or
stock
certificate.
7.4 Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc.
If the
last date for doing anything under this Warrant falls on a Saturday, Sunday
or a
legal holiday, then the thing may be done on the next succeeding Trading
Day.
7.5 Authorized
Shares.
The
Company covenants that, while the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve
from
its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to
provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase
rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance
of
this Warrant constitutes 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 the Warrant Shares are issued as provided without
a
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of
the
Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted. Unless
waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company will not by any 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 carrying out of all
its
terms and take whatever actions is necessary or appropriate to protect the
rights of Holder under this Warrant from impairment.
7.6 Jurisdiction. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Warrant must be determined in accordance with the provisions of the
Purchase Agreement.
7.7 Restrictions.
The
Holder acknowledges that the Holder’s sale or transfer of the Warrant Shares, if
not registered, will be subject to restrictions upon resale imposed by state
and
federal securities laws.
D-5
7.8 No
Waiver.
No
course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder
on the
part of Holder operates as a waiver of the right or otherwise prejudices
Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.
7.9 Notice.
Any
notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered
by either party to the other must be delivered in accordance with the notice
provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
7.10 Successors
and Assigns.
Subject
to applicable securities laws, this Warrant inures to the benefit of and
binds
the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the Holder.
7.11 Amendment.
Any
amendment of this Warrant must be in writing and signed by both the Company
and
the Holder.
7.12 Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant must be interpreted under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by or
invalid
under applicable law, the provision is ineffective to the extent of the
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remaining provisions
of this
Warrant.
7.13 Headings.
The
headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and
are
not, for any purpose, deemed a part of this Warrant.
In
witness whereof the Company has caused this Warrant to be executed by its
duly
authorized officer.
