The Company has 4,106,910 warrants outstanding and 27,567,142 options outstanding. The Company has reserved for other parties from its authorized shares of common stock: 3,000,000 warrants, nil options,3,500,000 shares for its Director stock option plan, and nil shares for its Officer and employee non-qualified stock option plan. As set forth above, the total number of authorized shares reserved for other parties is 38,174,052, there are 99,025,044 shares issued and outstanding, and there are therefore 112,800,910 authorized shares that are available for issuance or reservation, and the Company will reserve a sufficient number of shares for Purchaser as set forth in Section 2.2 of Document SPA-03222012. Except for customary adjustments as a result of stock dividends, stock splits, combinations of shares, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications or other similar events, there are no anti-dilution or price adjustment provisions contained in any security (other than the Note and the Warrant) issued by the Company (or in any agreement providing rights to security holders). The issuance and sale of the Note and the Warrant pursuant to the Agreement will not give rise to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal, co-sale rights or any other similar rights on behalf of any person or result in the triggering of any anti-dilution or other similar rights.
2) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Agreement, the Note, and the Warrant, the issuance and sale of the Securities, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or affected, or (iii) conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or any subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a subsidiary is bound or affected.
3) No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has entered into, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of the Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Purchaser in the Agreement, the Note, or the Warrant or that otherwise conflicts with the provisions of the Agreement, the Note, or the Warrant.
4) DWAC/DTC. The Company is not currently able to electronically transfer shares via DWAC/FAST electronic transfer system.
