Such Purchaser understands that (i) on October 19, 2016, the Company has applied for withdrawal of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-212610) initially filed with the Commission on July 20, 2016 (which registration statement has not been declared effective by the Commission), (ii) the offering of Securities to the Purchasers hereunder is not registered under the Securities Act and the Purchasers of Securities hereunder do not have the protection of Section 11 of the Securities Act, (iii) the Convertible Notes, Warrants and Underlying Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and are and will be “restricted securities” (as that term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act) and may not be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available and (iv) such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling the Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of the Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of the Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
12 |
(c) Opportunity to Obtain Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that representatives of the Company have made available to such Purchaser the opportunity to review the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to ask questions of and receive answers from such representatives concerning the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Such Purchaser further acknowledges the availability of the Company’s SEC Reports, specifically include the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
(d) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is and at the Closing will be, and on each date on which it converts any portion of a Convertible Note or exercises any Warrants, it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
(e) Experience of Such Purchaser. Such 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. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities or any other securities of the Company published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement. Such Purchaser has a pre-existing relationship with the Company.
(g) No Investment, Tax or Legal Advice. Each Purchaser understands that nothing in the Company SEC Reports, this Agreement, or any other materials presented to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Each Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Securities.
(h) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution 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 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).

IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Reporting Status. With a view to making available to the Purchasers the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Shares and Underlying Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act. The Company will otherwise take such further action as a Purchaser may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Purchaser to sell the Securities and Underlying Shares without registration under the Securities Act or any successor rule or regulation adopted by the SEC.
4.2 Quotation. So long as a Purchaser owns any of the Securities or Underlying Shares, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to maintain the quotation of its Common Stock on the OTCQB or OTCQX, each as administered by OTC Markets Group or, in lieu thereof, on a national securities exchange and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the rules of any such market or exchange, as applicable.
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. Furthermore, if the Company has disclosed any material non-public information to the Purchaser, the Purchaser has no duty to keep such information confidential following the public announcement of the offering.
14 |
4.4 Resale Registration Statement. Within 21 days following the Company’s next underwritten public offering or 90 days following the date that the Company’s current financing plan is terminated (the “Resale Date”) the Company shall file, and thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration, qualification and compliance (including without limitation the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) to permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all of the Common Stock and Underlying Shares no later than ninety (90) days after the Resale Date (such registration statement, the “Resale Registration Statement”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance:
(a) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act; or
(b) If a Purchaser fails to cooperate in providing the Company with all information reasonably required to be included in the Resale Registration Statement or otherwise required to be obtained by the Company for purposes of preparing and filing the Resale Registration Statement and any amendments thereto; provided, however, that such failure shall not affect the Company’s obligations with respect to any Underlying Shares of any other Purchasers.
Once declared effective by the Commission, the Company shall use best efforts to keep the Resale Registration Statement registering the resale of the Underlying Shares effective during the period beginning on its effective date until the earliest of (i) such time as all of the Common Stock and Underlying Shares shall have been sold, (ii) at least two years have passed since the Closing, and (iii) such time as all Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144. For the avoidance of doubt, a Purchaser may only exercise such resale registration rights once.
4.5 Registration Deadlines. If the Company fails to file a registration statement by the Resale Date, the Company shall issue to each Purchaser a Warrant to purchase up to the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name under the column entitled “Number of Warrants Upon Failure to Register” on Schedule I attached hereto (adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits and the like) at an exercise price of $5.55 per share (adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits and the like) with a five year term. The Company shall issue to each Purchaser an additional Warrant to purchase up to the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name under the column entitled “Number of Warrants Upon Failure to Register” on Schedule I attached hereto (adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits and the like) for each subsequent 30 day period for which a registration statement has not been filed.
4.6 Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 4.4, including without limitation all registration and filing fees, printing expenses (if required), fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the FINRA, transfer taxes, and fees of transfer agents and registrars.
4.7 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder primarily for working capital purposes and to fund the general corporate purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and to fund certain contractual obligations relating to acquisitions and to repay certain outstanding indebtedness (to the extent such indebtedness shall not have earlier converted into common stock).
15 |
4.8 Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, stockholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel, or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel in the aggregate (i.e., for all Purchaser Parties). The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent, that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
4.9 Reservation of Common Stock; Reporting Status. 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 then be required to issue all of the Underlying Shares.
4.10 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced by the Company. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Schedules.
16 |
4.11 Transfer Restrictions.
(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of any Securities other than pursuant to an effective Resale Registration Statement or Rule 144, or to the Company, 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 fees and expenses of which shall be paid by such Purchaser), 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 and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.
(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Agreement, of a legend on any instruments evidencing the Convertible Notes, Warrants and Underlying Shares in the following form, as applicable:
[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
(c) Certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in paragraph (b) above): (i) while a registration statement (including the Resale Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the effective date of the Registration Statement if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of a Convertible Note is converted or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when the Resale Registration Statement is effective to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act, then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends.
17 |
(d) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including, if the sale is being effected pursuant to a registration statement (including the Resale Registration Statement), the plan of distribution contained within such registration statement and any applicable prospectus-delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.
4.12 Security Interest. The Purchasers acknowledge that the Company has expressed its intent to grant a security interest in the assets and properties of the Company (the “Security Interest”) to the Purchasers listed on Schedule I attached hereto as of the date hereof, as soon as practicable following the repayment in full of the indebtedness owed by the Company to Trooien Capital, LLC and the release, discharge and termination in full of the security interest granted in favor of Trooien Capital, LLC in connection therewith. The Purchasers agree that the Security Interest, when granted, shall (i) secure the full and timely payment and performance by the Company of the obligations of the Company under the Convertible Notes on a pari passu basis among the Purchasers, and (ii) be subordinate and junior in right of payment and security to the prior payment in full of all Senior Obligations and the liens securing the Senior Obligations. The Purchasers agree to promptly execute and deliver to each holder of Senior Obligations, or to an agent on their behalf (individually or collectively, as applicable, the “Senior Creditor”) such documents, agreements and instruments, and take such other actions (including, without limitation, entering into an intercreditor agreement or subordination agreement with the Senior Creditor), as the Senior Creditor shall request to memorialize such status of the obligations and liens, and such other arrangements as they may agree upon.

19 |
5.4 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except for the Purchasers.
5.5 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 Minnesota, without regard to the conflicts-of-law principles thereof.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota, 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 is an 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 Agreement 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 other manner permitted by law.

5.6 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities for a one-year period after the Closing Date.
5.7 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in 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 each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. If any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, 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 or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
20 |
5.8 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 set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall 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 such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.9 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 contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.10 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 or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or 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 its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.11 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.12 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and their respective counsel have 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 thereto.
5.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

Exhibit A
NEITHER THIS NOTE NOR THE SECURITIES THAT ARE ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF OR UPON EXCHANGE HEREUNDER (COLLECTIVELY, THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED: (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS; OR (II) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
CONVERTIBLE TERM PROMISSORY NOTE
Issuance Date: October _____, 2016 | [$xx] (USD) |
For Value Received, Cachet Financial Solutions, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and located at 00000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (the ”Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [Insert Purchaser] or its successors or assigns (as applicable, the “Holder”), the principal amount of [$xx] (USD), on or prior to October ____, 2017 (the ”Maturity Date”), in accordance with the terms hereof. This Convertible Term Promissory Note is hereinafter referred to as the ”Note.”
1. Interest and Payments
1.1 Interest. The principal amount of this Note shall not bear interest.
1.2 Term and Payment. The principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable at the close of business on the Maturity Date.
1.3 Prepayment. The Company may not prepay this Note without the consent of Holder.
2. Conversion Rights and Mandatory Conversion
Holder will have the right, at its sole option and discretion, to convert principal and interest under this Note as specified in paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2 below.
2.1 Conversion Before an Event of Default. Holder shall have the right at its election to convert the principal amount of this Note, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, into shares of common stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”), at a conversion rate equal to the lower of (i) $7.00 per share and (ii) 80% of the Company’s per share price in the next underwritten public offering (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits and recapitalizations occurring before the next public offering) (the “Conversion Price”).
2.2 Conversion After an Event of Default. After an Event of Default (as defined below), if lower, this Note shall be convertible at a conversion price, if lower than the Conversion Price, at sixty percent (60%) of the lowest daily VWAP in the 20 trading days immediately prior to conversion. For this purpose, “VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted for trading as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time); (b) if the Common Stock is not then quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the OTC Markets (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported; or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company. The term “Trading Day” means a day on which the principal Trading Market is open for business; and the term “Trading Market” means the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board.
2.3 Manner of Conversion. Upon any exercise by the Holder of the foregoing conversion rights, the conversion of principal under this Note shall be effected in the following manner:
2.3.1 The Company shall, within 20 business days of the date of the conversion (which shall be deemed effective as of the date on which the conversion notice was given, as determined in accordance with Section 10 below), deliver to the Holder one or more certificates representing the Conversion Shares in such name(s) and denomination(s) as the Holder shall have specified; provided, however, that no fractional shares shall be issued in connection therewith, nor shall any transfers be permitted except in accordance with applicable securities laws. Upon any such conversion, the number of Conversion Shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with even halves rounded up).
2.3.2 The issuance of certificates for Conversion Shares upon a conversion shall be made without charge to the Holder in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company.
2.3.3 All Conversion Shares issued upon a conversion hereunder shall, when so issued, be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Conversion Shares may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which such securities are quoted.
2.3.4 If the Company at any time after the date hereof, subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares issued upon conversion will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the date hereof combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares, the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
2 |
2.4 Mandatory Conversion. Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, the Company may, in its sole discretion, require the Holder to convert the principal amount of this Note, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, into Conversion Shares if the Company’s common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Such mandatory conversion shall be treated as if it were a conversion pursuant to Section 2.1 above and shall be effective as of the date of such listing.
3. Transfer, Exchange and Replacement
3.1 Transfer or Exchange. This Note has not been and is not being registered under the provisions of the Securities Act or any state securities laws and this Note may not be transferred prior to the end of the holding period applicable to sales under Rule 144 unless in accordance with applicable law and unless: (1) the transferee is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) and (2) the Holder shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company, to the effect that this Note may be sold or transferred without registration under the Securities Act. Upon surrender of any Note for registration of transfer or for exchange to the Company at its principal office, the Company at its sole expense will execute and deliver in exchange therefore a new Note or Notes, as the case may be, as requested by the Holder or transferee, which aggregate principal amount is equal the unpaid principal amount of such Note, registered as such Holder or transferee may request; provided, however, that this Note may not be transferred by Holder to any Person other than Holder’s affiliates without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company shall be entitled to regard the registered Holder of this Note as the Holder of the Note so registered for all purposes until the Company or its agent, as applicable, is required to record a transfer of this Note on its register.
3.2 Replacement. Upon notice to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Note, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Note of like tenor and date and in substantially the same form as this Note; provided, however, the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue a Note if the Holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such remaining principal amount and interest into Common Stock.
4. Defaults and Remedies
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (regardless of the reason therefor) shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder which shall be deemed to be continuing until waived in writing by Holder or until cured by the Company:
(a) the Company shall fail to pay principal on the Maturity Date;
3 |
(b) a case or proceeding shall have been commenced involuntarily against the Company in a court having competent jurisdiction seeking a decree or order under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or other similar law, and seeking either (A) the appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) for such person or of any substantial part of its properties, or (B) the reorganization or winding up or liquidation of the affairs of any such person, and such case or proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for 60 consecutive days or such court shall enter a decree or order granting the relief sought in such case or proceeding; or
(c) the Company shall commence any case, proceeding or other action under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, conservatorship or relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it or seeking appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) for it or any substantial part of its properties, (ii) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Holder may, upon written notice to the Company, take any one or more of the following actions: (i) declare all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such principal shall become and be due and payable; (ii) convert this Note into Conversion Shares as provided herein, or (iii) exercise any rights and remedies provided by law.
5. Amendment and Waiver
The provisions of this Note may not be modified, amended or waived, and the Company may not take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, without the written consent of the Holder.
6. Cancellation
After all principal owed on this Note has been paid in full or converted pursuant to Section 2, this Note shall automatically be deemed canceled, and upon the Company’s request the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company.
7. Company’s Waiver of Notice
To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note.
8. Governing Law
This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Minnesota, without giving effect to provisions thereof regarding conflict of laws.
9. Waiver of Rights
No failure or delay on the part of this Note in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
10. Notices
Notices shall be given at the address and as deemed for the Company or Holder, as applicable, indicated in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, Holder and the other purchasers party thereto, dated on or about the date hereof.

Exhibit B
NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR ANY OF THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. BY ACQUIRING THIS WARRANT, HOLDER REPRESENTS THAT HOLDER WILL NOT SELL OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF THIS WARRANT OR THE SECURITIES FOR WHICH IT MAY BE EXERCISED WITHOUT REGISTRATION OR COMPLIANCE WITH AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE AFORESAID ACTS AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
Number of Shares of Common Stock: [xx]
Date of Issuance: October ___, 2016 (“Issuance Date”)
This Certifies That, for value received, [Insert Purchaser] (including any permitted and registered assigns, the ”Holder”), is entitled to purchase from Cachet Financial Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the ”Company”), up to [xx] shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at the Exercise Price then in effect. This Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (this “Warrant”) is issued by the Company pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement executed on the Issuance Date by and among the Company, Holder and other parties thereto, if any (the “Purchase Agreement”).
Capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined in the body of this Warrant or in Section 13 below. For purposes of this Warrant, the term “Exercise Price” shall mean the lower of (i) $5.55 per share and (ii) 80% of the Company’s per share price in the next underwritten public offering (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits and recapitalizations occurring before the next public offering), subject to adjustment as provided herein, and the term ”Exercise Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on 5:00 p.m. New York time on the five-year anniversary thereof.
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or times during the Exercise Period by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the third Trading Day (the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”) following the date on which the Company shall have received the Exercise Notice, and upon receipt by the Company of (i) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price” and together with the Exercise Notice, the “Exercise Delivery Documents”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (ii) notification from the Holder that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, as defined below, the Company shall (or direct its transfer agent to) issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to Section 1(c) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.
(b) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then-current fair market value of a Warrant Share by such fraction.
(c) Cashless Exercise. The Holder may, in its sole discretion, at any time prior to the effective date of a registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Securities Act covering the Warrant Shares, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, 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 Weighted Average Price of the shares of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice. |
C = | the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise. |

(d) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as defined below. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including without limitation any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph (d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Securites Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this paragraph applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.
For purposes of this paragraph, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, a Holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this paragraph shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant.

2. ADJUSTMENTS. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(b) Distribution of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including without limitation any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:
(i) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and
(ii) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i); provided, however, that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of common stock of a company (other than the Company) whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system (“Other Shares of Common Stock”), then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this clause (ii).

3. FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger of the Company with or into another entity and the Company is not the surviving entity (such surviving entity, the “Successor Entity”), (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or by another individual or entity, and approved by the Company) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares of Common Stock for other securities, cash or property and the holders of at least 50% of the Common Stock accept such offer, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 2(a) above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock of the Successor Entity or of the Company and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event (disregarding any limitation on exercise contained herein solely for the purpose of such determination). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate 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 exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any Successor Entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration.
4. NON-CIRCUMVENTION. The Company covenants and agrees that it will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, for so long as this Warrant is outstanding, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

5. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Warrant, in and of itself, shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
6. REISSUANCE.
(a) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company will, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
(b) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, and shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date.
7. TRANSFER.
(a) Notice of Transfer. The Holder agrees to give written notice to the Company before transferring this Warrant or transferring any Warrant Shares of such Holder’s intention to do so, describing briefly the manner of any proposed transfer. Promptly upon receiving such written notice, the Company shall present copies thereof to the Company’s counsel. If the proposed transfer may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or state securities laws), the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify the Holder thereof, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant or to dispose of Warrant Shares received upon the previous exercise of this Warrant, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company; provided, however, that an appropriate legend may be endorsed on this Warrant or the certificates for such Warrant Shares respecting restrictions upon transfer thereof necessary or advisable in the opinion of counsel and satisfactory to the Company to prevent further transfers which would be in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; and provided further that the prospective transferee or purchaser shall execute the Assignment of Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit B and such other documents and make such representations, warranties, and agreements as may be required solely to comply with the exemptions relied upon by the Company for the transfer or disposition of the Warrant or Warrant Shares.
(b) If the proposed transfer or disposition of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares described in the written notice given pursuant to this Section 7 may not be effected without registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, the Holder will limit its activities in respect to such transfer or disposition as are permitted by law.
6 |
(c) Any transferee of all or a portion of this Warrant shall succeed to the rights and benefits of the initial Holder of this Warrant under Sections 4.1 and 4.3 (subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 4.2), 4.4 and 4.5 of the Purchase Agreement (registration rights, expenses, and indemnity).
8. NOTICES. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with the notice provisions contained in the Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least 20 days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the shares of Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grants, issuances or sales of any stock or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or other property, pro rata to the holders of shares of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.
9. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. The terms of this Warrant may be amended or waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder. In addition, the restrictions set forth in Section 1(d) can be waived, as to a particular original purchaser of Common Stock and its affiliates, pursuant to a writing signed and delivered by the Company and such original Purchaser prior to the execution and delivery of this Warrant.
10. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Minnesota, without giving effect to the conflicts-of-law principles thereof.
11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. A dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price, the Closing Sale Price, or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile (a) within two Business Days after receipt of the applicable notice giving rise to such dispute to the Company or the Holder, as the case may be, or (b) if no notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after the Holder learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price, Closing Sale Price or the Warrant Shares within three Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Company or the Holder, as the case may be, then the Company shall, within two Business Days thereafter submit via facsimile (x) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price or Closing Sale Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder or (y) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error.
