At the time such Lender was offered the Securities, it was, at the date hereof it is, and on the date which it exercises any Warrants, it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act or a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. Such Lender is not a registered broker dealer registered under Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act, or a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

The Lender will promptly notify the Company of any material fact or circumstance that would cause any of the foregoing representations to be untrue, incomplete, or misleading.

Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility Agreement by and between Flux Power Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Xxxx Xxxxxxx, an individual (the “Lender”), dated as of the date hereof (the “Credit Facility Agreement”), the Company HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of Lender, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances (the “Advances”) made by Lender to the Company under the terms of this Note, up to a maximum principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), of which certain amounts have already been advanced as set forth on Attachment A hereto. The Company shall also pay interest on the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Advances at the rates and in accordance with the terms of this Note. Subject to conversion provision of this Note, the entire principal amount and all accrued interest shall be due and payable two (2) years from September 19, 2014 (the “Due Date”), unless such Due Date is extended by the Lender in writing, is earlier prepaid as herein provided, or is earlier converted as provided in Section 4 hereof. All payments under this Note shall be made only in lawful money of the United States of America, at such place as the Lender hereof may designate in writing from time to time. Payment shall be credited first to the accrued interest then due and payable and the remainder to principal.
1. Advances. Lender shall, at its sole discretion, provide Advances in increments of up to One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000), hereunder so long as the total of all unpaid Advances at the time of such request does not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Maximum Amount”). The Lender agrees to provide the first Advance of $150,000 to the Company upon execution of this Note. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Advances pursuant to this Note owed by the Company to Lender exceeds the Maximum Amount, the Company shall immediately pay to Lender, in cash, the amount of such excess. Lender is hereby authorized to record the date and amount of each Advance on the grid attached hereto as Attachment A and incorporated herein and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded.
2. Interest. Interest shall accrue on each Advance from and after the date of disbursement of such advance at an annual rate of eight percent (8%) (the “Interest Rate”). The Interest Rate shall be payable on each anniversary of the date of this Note.
3. Prepayment. Except for that portion of the outstanding principal, accrued but unpaid interest and/or Late Charges (as defined below) for which the Company has received a Conversion Notice in accordance with Section 4, this Note may be prepaid in part (or in full) at any time prior to the Due Date (except as expressly provided herein), and from time to time, without premium or penalty, and without the prior consent of the Lender hereof, on the conditions that (a) the Company shall concurrently pay all accrued but unpaid interest on the amount of principal outstanding at the time of each prepayment and any Late Charges then due, and (b) the Company shall provide Lender with thirty (30) days' prior written notice (“Prepayment Notice”) of the amount of the prepayment. If the Lender does not receive the stated prepayment within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice of Prepayment, such nonpayment shall constitute a Default under this Note and such Notice of Prepayment shall be of no further force or effect.
4. Conversion.
(a) At the election of Lender, all or any portion of the outstanding principal, accrued but unpaid interest and/or Late Charges may be converted (a “Conversion”) into shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Shares”) at any time after the date hereof at a Conversion price of Twelve Cents ($0.12) per share (the “Conversion Price”).
1 |
(b) To effect a Conversion of this Note, the Lender shall deliver a written request to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal, accrued but unpaid interest and/or Late Charges (“Conversion Notice”) to the Company at its principal office, together with this Note. At its expense, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, cause the transfer agent to issue and deliver to the Lender at the Company's principal office, or at such other place designated by the Lender, a certificate (“Certificate”) evidencing such shares to which the Lender is entitled upon such Conversion.
(c) Conversion shall be deemed to be effective on the date the Company receives the original Conversion Notice (“Conversion Date”). Thereafter, the Lender shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares as of the Conversion Date.
(d) No fractional shares will be issued in connection with any Conversion hereunder.
(e) All shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Note will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. During the period within which the conversion rights represented by this Note may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of the conversion rights evidenced by this Note, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock, to provide for the exercise of the conversion rights represented by this Note.
(f) Beneficial Ownership Restrictions. In no event shall the Lender be entitled to exercise any portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion or exercise, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Lender at such time, would result in the Lender beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon the Lender providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days notice (the "Waiver Notice") that the Lender would like to waive this Section 4(f) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of this Note, this Section 4(f) shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of Common Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice.
5. Adjustments. The number and kind of shares issuable upon conversion of this Note and the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:
(a) In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding shares issuable upon conversion of this Note (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or in case of any merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding shares issuable upon conversion of this Note), or in case of any sale of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets, the Company shall, as condition precedent to such transaction, execute a new Note, or cause such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, to execute a new Note, substantially in the form, and with the terms, conditions and provisions of this Note, and providing that the Lender of this Note shall have the right to convert such new Note, and upon such conversion to receive in lieu of each share theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Note, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change or merger by the holder of one share of the Company’s Common Stock. Such new Note shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section. The provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers and sales of assets.
2 |
(b) If Company, at any time while this Note remains outstanding. subdivides or combines its Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or increased in the case of a combination.
(c) Whenever the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section, the Company shall prepare a certificate signed by an officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Conversion Price after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause such certificate to be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Lender.

7. Rights of Lender. The Lender shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends, or be deemed the record owner of shares which may at any time be issuable on the Conversion hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Lender, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors, or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise), or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise, until the Note shall have been converted and the shares issuable upon the Conversion hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.
8. Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:
(a) The non-payment of any principal and/or interest due and owing to the Lender under this Note and such failure to make payment shall continue for a period of five (5) days or longer from the due date; or
(b) Violation by the Company of any covenant or obligation contained in the Credit Facility Agreement or the Note, or breach of any representation or warranty contained in the Credit Facility Agreement or herein; or
(c) The Company (i) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, (ii) files a petition under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or similar law, state or federal, not or hereafter existing, (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (iv) is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent.

3 |
9. Default and Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of a Default as set forth in Sections 3 and/or 8, at the option of the Lender hereof (i) the entire outstanding principal balance, all accrued but unpaid interest and/or Late Charges at once shall become due and payable upon written notice to the Company, and (ii) the Lender may pursue all other rights and remedies available under this Note or by law.
10. Default Rate of Interest. Upon the occurrence of a Default, the Company promises to pay interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid, interest and Late Charges, at a rate of interest equal to eighteen percent (18%) per annum (“Default Rate”).

12. Early Discharge. Upon Conversion of this Note in full, the outstanding principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest and Late Charges which are converted as provided herein, shall be fully discharged and the Note shall be cancelled and surrendered to the Company.
13. Remedies Cumulative. The rights or remedies of the Lender as provided in this Note, and any instrument securing payment of this Note, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued at the sole discretion of the Lender singularly, successively or together against the Company.

14. Forbearance. Any forbearance of the Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under the Credit Facility Agreement, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy.

No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right under this Note.
15. Application of Payments. All payments made on this Note shall be applied first to any collection costs the Lender may have incurred by procuring the Company’s performance hereunder, then to payment of the Late Charges, then to payment of accrued but unpaid, interest and the remainder of all such payments shall be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance on this Note.
16. Costs and Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Lender for all actual attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses arising from and after the date hereof, incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement of Lender’s rights under this Note and each of the documents referred to therein, including, without limitation, actual attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses for trial, appellate proceedings, out of court negotiations, workouts and settlements, or for enforcement of rights under any state or federal statute, including, without limitation, actual attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings such as, but not limited to, in connection with seeking relief from stay in a bankruptcy proceeding. The term “expenses,” as used herein, means any expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any of the out of court, state, federal or bankruptcy proceedings referenced above, including but not limited, to the fees and expenses of any appraisers, consultants and expert witnesses retained or consulted by Lender in connection therewith. Lender shall also be entitled to its attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in any post judgment proceedings to collect and enforce the judgment. This provision is separate and several and shall survive the merger of this Note into any judgment on this Note.
4 |
17. Usury. In the event the interest provisions hereof, any exactions provided for herein or in the Credit Facility Agreement, shall result in an effective rate of interest which exceeds the limit of the usury or any other applicable law, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further agreement or notice between or by any party hereto, be applied upon the outstanding principal balance of this Note immediately upon receipt of such moneys by the Lender, and any such amount in excess of such outstanding principal balance shall be returned to the Company.
18. Severance. Whenever possible, each provision of the Note shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations. However, if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of this Note, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

No provision of this Note will be deemed waived by Lender, unless waived in writing executed by Lender, which expressly refers to this Note, and no such waiver shall be implied from any act or conduct of Lender or any omission by Lender to take action with respect to any provision of this Note. No such express written waiver shall affect any other provision of this Note or cover any default or time period or event, other than the matter as to which an express written waiver has been given.

No waiver of an Event of Default, whether full or partial, by Borrower will be taken to extend to any subsequent default, or to impair the rights of Lender in respect of the Note. The giving, taking or enforcement of security, collateral or guarantee for the payment or discharge of the Note will in no way operate to prejudice, waive or affect this Guaranty or any rights, powers or remedies exercised hereunder.
3. Continuing Guaranty.

WARRANTS
THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
WARRANT CERTIFICATE
Original Date of Issuance: October 2, 2014 | No.: W-084 |
THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE is given in connection with the Credit Facility Agreement dated October 2, 2014 (“Agreement”) , by and between Flux Power Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”), and Xxxx Xxxxxxx, an individual.
This Warrant Certificate (“Warrant Certificate”) certifies that for value received, Xxxx Xxxxxxx, an individual, or its registered assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), the number of Warrants (“Warrants”) as determined below, each of which entitles the Holder thereof to purchase during the term, one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, $.001 par value per share, of the Issuer, at an exercise price per share equal to $0.20 (the “Warrant Price”), as may be adjusted, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant Certificate and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 6 hereof.
The number of Warrants that Holder will be entitled to will be based on the following formula:
Warrants = (A/0.12) x 100%
A = the aggregate amount of Advances (irrespective of any prepayments by the Company) made under the October 2, 2014 Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“Note”) issued by the Company to the Holder under the Agreement, up to $500,000.
1 |
1. Term. The term of this Warrant Certificate shall commence on the Original Issue Date and shall expire at 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date (such period being the “Term”).
2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant Certificate; Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant Certificate may be exercised at any time during the Term.
(b) Method of Exercise. Each Warrant shall entitle the Holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Issuer at the Warrant Price. The Holder hereof may exercise the Warrants, in whole or in part, by the surrender of the Warrant Certificate (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which the Warrant Certificate is then being exercised, payable at such Holder’s election by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer.
(c) The Holder may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Warrant Price for the Warrant Shares specified in this Warrant, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
Net Number = | (A x B) - (A x C) | |
B |
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
B= the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the notification by the Holder to the Company of a Cashless Exercise.
C= the Warrant Price then in effect at the time of such exercise.
(d) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the Warrants in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time
2 |
(e) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(f) hereof, the Warrants may be transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, without the consent of the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, the Warrants may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached here to) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant Certificate is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants to purchase the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant Certificate except as to the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable pursuant thereto.
(f) Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Holder of this Warrant Certificate, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that the Warrants and the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and agrees that the Holder will not acquire the Warrant Stock, offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
(ii) This Warrant Certificate and all certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE, THE WARRANTS, AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
(g) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Warrant Stock.
(h) Beneficial Ownership Restrictions. In no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion or exercise, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon the Holder providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days notice (the "Waiver Notice") that the Holder would like to waive this Section 2(h) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of this Warrant, this Section 2(h) shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of Common Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice.

3. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise. The Warrant Price and the Warrant Share Number shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 3. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below that requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 3 in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 4.
(a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a “Triggering Event”): (A) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (B) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (C) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (D) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made to the Warrant Price and the number of shares of Warrant Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant Certificate the Holder of this Warrant Certificate shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent the Warrants are not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price as adjusted to take into account the consummation of such Triggering Event, in lieu of the Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise of the Warrants prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant Certificate immediately prior thereto subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 3. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing of such Triggering Event and provide the calculations in determining the amount of issuable Securities, cash or property issuable upon exercise of the new warrant and the adjusted Warrant Price. Upon the Holder’s request, the continuing or surviving corporation as a result of such Triggering Event shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted amount of Securities, cash or property and the adjusted Warrant Price pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Section 3(a)(i).
(b) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the Issuer shall:
(i) make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock,
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then (A) the number of shares of Warrant Stock for which this Warrant Certificate is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Warrant Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Warrant Stock for which this Warrant Certificate is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (B) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (1) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (2) the number of shares of Warrant Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
4 |
4. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number is adjusted pursuant to Section 3 hereof (for purposes of this Section 4, each an “Adjustment”), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the Adjustment, the amount of the Adjustment, the method by which such Adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such Adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant Certificate promptly after each Adjustment.

3. Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Secured Party as follows:
(a) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the filings contemplated therein have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally.
(b) The Company represents and warrants that it has no place of business or offices where its respective books of account and records are kept (other than temporarily at the offices of its attorneys or accountants) or places where Collateral is stored or located other than the Company’s main facility listed in Section 13 of this Agreement;
(c) Except for the prior security interest granted to Esenjay Investments, LLC (“Esenjay”), the Company is the sole owner of the Collateral (except for non-exclusive licenses granted by the Company in the ordinary course of business), free and clear of any liens, security interests, encumbrances, rights or claims, and is fully authorized to grant the Security Interest in and to pledge the Collateral. Except for the prior security interest granted to Esenjay, there is not on file in any governmental or regulatory authority, agency or recording office an effective financing statement, security agreement, license or transfer or any notice of any of the foregoing (other than those that have been filed in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement) covering or affecting any of the Collateral. So long as this Agreement shall be in effect, the Company shall not execute and shall not knowingly permit to be on file in any such office or agency any such financing statement or other document or instrument (except to the extent filed or recorded in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement). Esenjay, which holds a senior security interest in the Company’s assets, has agreed to subordinated its interest to the interests of the Secured Party.
(d) No part of the Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable. No written claim has been received that any Collateral or the Company’s use of any Collateral violates the rights of any third party. There has been no adverse decision to the Company’s claim of ownership rights in or exclusive rights to use the Collateral in any jurisdiction or to the Company’s right to keep and maintain such Collateral in full force and effect, and there is no proceeding involving said rights pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened before any court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory agency, arbitrator or other governmental authority.
(e) The Company shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating to the Collateral at its principal place of business and its Collateral at the locations set forth in Section 13 and may not relocate such books of account and records or tangible Collateral unless it delivers to the Secured Party at least 30 days prior to such relocation (i) written notice of such relocation and the new location thereof (which must be within the United States) and (ii) evidence that appropriate financing statements and other necessary documents have been filed and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the Security Interest to create in favor of the Secured Party valid, perfected and continuing first priority liens in the Collateral.
8 |
(f) This Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a valid security interest in the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations and, upon making the filings described in the immediately following sentence, a perfected first priority security interest in such Collateral. Except for the filing of financing statements on Form-1 under the UCC, no authorization or approval of or filing with or notice to any governmental authority or regulatory body is required either (i) for the grant by the Company of, or the effectiveness of, the Security Interest granted hereby or for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company or (ii) for the perfection of or exercise by the Secured Party of its rights and remedies hereunder.
(g) Promptly upon execution of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to the Secured Party one or more executed UCC financing statements on Form UCC-1 in the jurisdiction of Nevada, California and in such other jurisdictions as may be requested by the Secured Party.
(h) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not conflict with or cause a breach or default, or an event that with or without the passage of time or notice, shall constitute a breach or default, under any agreement to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound. No consent (including, without limitation, from stock holders or creditors of the Company) is required for the Company to enter into and perform its obligations hereunder.
(i) The Company shall at all times maintain the liens and Security Interest provided for hereunder as valid and perfected first priority liens and security interests in the Collateral in favor of the Secured Party until this Agreement and the Security Interest hereunder shall terminate pursuant to Section 11. The Company hereby agrees to defend the same against any and all persons. The Company shall safeguard and protect all Collateral for the account of the Secured Party. At the request of the Secured Party, the Company will sign and deliver to the Secured Party at any time or from time to time one or more financing statements pursuant to the UCC (or any other applicable statute) in form reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party and will pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices wherever filing is, or is deemed by the Secured Party to be, necessary or desirable to effect the rights and obligations provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall pay all fees, taxes and other amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral and the Security Interest hereunder, and the Company shall obtain and furnish to the Secured Party from time to time, upon demand, such releases and/or subordinations of claims and liens which may be required to maintain the priority of the Security Interest hereunder.
(j) The Company will not transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, license (except for any Collateral disposed of in the ordinary course of business), sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral without the prior written consent of the Secured Party.
(k) The Company shall keep and preserve its Equipment, Inventory and other tangible Collateral in good condition, repair and order and shall not operate or locate any such Collateral (or cause to be operated or located) in any area excluded from insurance coverage.
(l) The Company shall, within twenty (20) days of obtaining knowledge thereof, advise the Secured Party promptly, in sufficient detail, of any substantial change in the Collateral, and of the occurrence of any event which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or on the Secured Party’s security interest therein.
(m) The Company shall promptly execute and deliver to the Secured Party such further deeds, mortgages, assignments, security agreements, financing statements or other instruments, documents, certificates and assurances and take such further action as the Secured Party may from time to time request and may in its sole discretion deem necessary to perfect, protect or enforce its security interest in the Collateral.
9 |
(n) The Company shall permit the Secured Party and its representatives and agents to inspect the Collateral at any time, and to make copies of records pertaining to the Collateral as may be requested by the Secured Party from time to time.
(o) The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to diligently pursue and seek to preserve, enforce and collect any rights, claims, causes of action and accounts receivable in respect of the Collateral.
(p) The Company shall promptly notify the Secured Party in sufficient detail upon becoming aware of any attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process levied against any Collateral and of any other information received by the Company that may materially affect the value of the Collateral, the Security Interest or the rights and remedies of the Secured Party hereunder.
(q) All information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to the Secured Party by or on behalf of the Company with respect to the Collateral is accurate and complete in all material respects as of the date furnished.
4. Defaults. The following events shall be “Events of Default”:
(a) The occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note;
(b) Any representation or warranty of the Company in this Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made;
(c) The failure by the Company to observe or perform any of its obligations hereunder for ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of notice of such failure from the Secured Party; and
5. Duty To Hold In Trust. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Company shall, upon receipt by it of any revenue, income or other sums subject to the Security Interest, whether payable pursuant to the Note or otherwise, or of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other instrument evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in trust for the Secured Party and shall forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums or instruments, or both, to the Secured Party for application to the satisfaction of the Obligations.
6. Rights and Remedies Upon Default. Upon occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured Party shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies conferred hereunder and under the Note, and the Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and/or any other applicable law (including the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction in which any Collateral is then located). Without limitation, the Secured Party shall have the following rights and powers:
(a) The Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral and, for that purpose, enter, with the aid and assistance of any person, any premises where the Collateral, or any part thereof, is or may be placed and remove the same, and the Company shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at places which the Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at the Company’s premises or elsewhere, and make available to the Secured Party, without rent, all of the Company’s respective premises and facilities for the purpose of the Secured Party taking possession of, removing or putting the Collateral in saleable or disposable form.
10 |
(b) The Secured Party shall have the right to operate the business of the Company using the Collateral and shall have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise, either with or without special conditions or stipulations, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such time or times and at such place or places, and upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to the Company or right of redemption of the Company, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the Secured Party may, unless prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of the Company, which are hereby waived and released.
7. Applications of Proceeds. The proceeds of any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder shall be applied first, to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith) of the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Party in enforcing its rights hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and disposing of the Collateral, and then to satisfaction of the Obligations, and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, after which the Secured Party shall pay to the Company any surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is legally entitled, the Company will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate of 15% per annum (the “Default Rate”), and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party.
8. Costs and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any filing required hereunder, including without limitation, any financing statements, continuation statements, partial releases and/or termination statements related thereto or any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Secured Party. The Company shall also pay all other claims and charges which in the reasonable opinion of the Secured Party might prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Security Interest therein. The Company will also, upon demand, pay to the Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party under the Note. Until so paid, any fees payable hereunder shall be added to the principal amount of the Note and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
9. Responsibility for Collateral. The Company assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Collateral, and the obligations of the Company hereunder or under the Note shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its unavailability for any reason.
11 |
10. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured Party and all Obligations of the Company hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Note or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Note or any other agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other collateral for, or any guaranty, or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the Secured Party to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense available to the Company, or a discharge of all or any part of the Security Interest granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the Secured Party shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. The Company expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and demand for performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than the Secured Party, then, in any such event, the Company’s obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. The Company waives all right to require the Secured Party to proceed against any other person or to apply any Collateral which the Secured Party may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. The Company waives any defense arising by reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured hereby.
11. Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interest shall terminate on the date on which all payments under the Note have been made in full and all other Obligations have been paid or discharged. Upon such termination, the Secured Party, at the request and at the expense of the Company, will join in executing any termination statement with respect to any financing statement executed and filed pursuant to this Agreement.
12. Power of Attorney; Further Assurances.
(a) The Company authorizes the Secured Party, and does hereby make, constitute and appoint it, and its respective officers, agents, successors or assigns with full power of substitution, as the Company’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, in its own name or in the name of the Company, to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) endorse any notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under or in respect of any policy of insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may come into possession of the Secured Party; (ii) to sign and endorse any UCC financing statement or any invoice, freight or express xxxx, xxxx of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts, and other documents relating to the Collateral; (iii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (iv) to demand, collect, receipt for, compromise, settle and xxx for monies due in respect of the Collateral; and (v) generally, to do, at the option of the Secured Party, and at the Company’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral and the Security Interest granted therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, the Note and the Warrants, all as fully and effectually as the Company might or could do; and the Company hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding.

(a) No course of dealing between the Company and the Secured Party, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
(b) All of the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Note or by any other agreements, instruments or documents or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently.
(c) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and is intended to supersede all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements with respect thereto. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement may be modified or amended except by a written agreement specifically referring to this Agreement and signed by the parties hereto.

(d) In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, unless such provision is narrowed by judicial construction, this Agreement shall, as to such jurisdiction, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable provision had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portion of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement and without affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
(e) No waiver of any breach or default or any right under this Agreement shall be considered valid unless in writing and signed by the party giving such waiver, and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or right, whether of the same or similar nature or otherwise.
(f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors and assigns.
(g) Each party shall take such further action and execute and deliver such further documents as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.
(h) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except to the extent the validity, perfection or enforcement of a security interest hereunder in respect of any particular Collateral which are governed by a jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in which case such law shall govern. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state court sitting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania or any federal court located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such state or federal court. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. The parties hereto further waive any objection to venue in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and any objection to an action or proceeding in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on the basis of forum non conveniens.
