WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF
SAVE THE WORLD AIR, INC.
SAVE THE WORLD AIR, INC.
Los Angeles, California | ___________, 2007 |
This is to Certify that, for value received,
_______________(the “Holder”), is entitled
to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, from Save the World Air, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the “Company”), at any time on or after date hereof, and not later than 5:00 p.m.
California local time, three years after ___________, 2007,
___________ shares of the Common
Stock, US$.001 par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price per share equal
to US$1.00, subject to adjustment as to the number of shares and purchase price as hereinafter set
forth. The shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant are
called herein the “Warrant Stock.” The price per share of the Warrant Stock as adjusted from time
to time as hereinafter set forth is sometimes referred to as the “Exercise Price.” The Holder
hereof may exercise this Warrant as to all or any portion of the shares of the Warrant Stock which
such Holder shall have the right to acquire hereunder. This Warrant is the Warrant referred to in
that certain Subscription Agreement of even date herewith (the “Subscription Agreement”) between
the Company and the Holder.
(a) Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised by presentation and surrender hereof to
the Company with the Exercise Notice attached hereto as Annex A. The Warrant shall be deemed to
have been exercised when (i) the Company has received this Warrant, together with a completed
Exercise Notice, and (ii) the Company has received payment in the amount of the applicable Exercise
Price, notwithstanding that certificates representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be
actually delivered to the Holder. If the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed on the
date of receipt of this Warrant, the Exercise Notice and the Exercise Price as aforesaid, the
Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the next succeeding day
on which the stock transfer books of the Company shall be opened. If
1
this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant
for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase
the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder. In the event this Warrant shall not be exercised
on or before three (3) years after the date of issue, this Warrant shall become void and all rights
hereunder shall cease.
(1) Method of Payment. Holder may pay the applicable Exercise Price by cash, check or cash
equivalent.
(2) Expenses of Issuance. The Company shall issue the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
this Warrant without charge to Holder for any issuance tax or other cost incurred by the Company in
connection with such exercise and the related issuance of the shares of Common Stock. Each of the
shares of Common Stock shall, upon payment of the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
(3) Withholding Taxes. Holder shall satisfy any federal, state, local or foreign withholding
tax obligations arising from the exercise of the Warrant or the subsequent disposition of the
Shares.
(b) Reservation of Shares. The Company agrees that at all times there shall be authorized and
reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as
shall be required for issuance or delivery upon exercise of this Warrant.
(c) Fractional Shares. This Warrant shall be exercisable in such manner as not to require the
issuance of fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares. If, as a result of
adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon
exercise of this Warrant fractional shares would be issuable, no such fractional shares shall be
issued. In lieu thereof the Company shall pay the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the current market value of one share of Common Stock. The current value shall be an
amount, not less than twice book value, determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed
by the Board of Directors of the Company, such determination to be final and binding on the Holder.
(d) Exchange or Assignment of Warrant. Holder may not, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or
involuntarily, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of,
voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly (each, a “Transfer”) this Warrant, except that
Xxxxxx may transfer the Warrant to Xxxxxx’s spouse and direct descendants of Xxxxxx, and the heirs,
executors, administrators, testamentary trustees, legatees or beneficiaries of Xxxxxx’s estate upon
death (each, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, however, that (x) any such Permitted Transferee
shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Shares
and (y) any transfer to a Permitted Transferee shall not be in violation of applicable federal or
state securities laws.
2
(e) Rights of the Holder; Limitation on Liability. The Holder shall not, prior to exercise of
this Warrant, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the
Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in
the Warrant. No provision hereof, in absence of an affirmative action by the Holder to purchase the
Warrant Stock, and no enumeration herein of rights or privileges by the Holder, shall give rise to
any liability of the Holder for the Exercise Price of the Warrant Stock.
(f) Adjustment of Exercise Rights. The Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock
to be received upon the exercise of this Warrant, or both shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as follows:
(l) Dividends. In case any additional shares of Common Stock or any obligation or stock
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (such convertible or exchangeable
obligations or stock being hereinafter called “Convertible Securities”) shall be issued as a
dividend on any class of stock of the Company, such shares or Convertible Securities, the Exercise
Price then in effect shall be increased proportionately and the number of shares of Warrant Stock
then exercisable hereunder shall be decreased proportionately. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment in the Exercise Price in
the case of the issuance at any time or from time to time of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to
any exercise of this Warrant.
(2) Effect of “Split-ups” and “Split-down” and Certain Dividends. In case at any time or from
time to time the Company shall subdivide as a whole, by reclassification, by the issuance of a
stock dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, or otherwise, the number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, with or without par
value, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced proportionately, and the number of shares
of Warrant Stock then exercisable hereunder shall be increased proportionately. In case at any time
or from time to time the Company shall consolidate as a whole, by reclassification or otherwise,
the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding into a lesser number of shares of Common
Stock, with or without par value, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be increased
proportionately and the number of shares of Warrant Stock then exercisable hereunder shall be
decreased proportionately.
(3) Statement of Adjusted Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to
any of the foregoing provisions of this Section (f), the Company shall forthwith prepare a written
statement signed by the President or the Treasurer of the Company, setting forth the adjusted
Exercise Price and any adjustment in the number of shares purchasable hereunder, determined as
provided in this Section (f), and in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment. Such
statement shall be filed among the permanent records of the Company, shall be furnished to the
Holder of each Warrant upon request, and shall be open to inspection by the Holders of the Warrants
during normal business hours.
3
(4) Effect of Merger or Consolidation. In case the Company shall enter into any consolidation
with or merger into any other corporation wherein the Company is not the surviving corporation, or
sell or convey its property as an entirety or substantially as an entirety and in connection with such consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance shares of stock or other securities shall be issuable or deliverable in exchange for the
Common Stock of the Company, the Holder of any Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase
pursuant to such Warrant (in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which such Holder would
have been entitled to purchase immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance)
the shares of stock or other securities to which such number of shares of Common Stock would have
been entitled at the time of such consolidation, merger sale or conveyance, at an aggregate
Exercise Price equal to that which would have been payable if such number of shares of Common Stock
had been purchased immediately prior thereto. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance, appropriate provision (as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Company with the approval of the Holder) shall be made with respect to the rights and interests
thereafter of the Holders of Warrants, to the end that all the provisions of the Warrants
(including adjustment provisions) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably
practicable, in relation to such stock or other securities.
(5) Reorganization and Reclassification. In case of any capital reorganization or any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (except as provided in Subsection (2) of this
Section (f)); the Holder of any Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase pursuant to such
Warrant (in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which such Holder would have been entitled
to purchase immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification) the shares of stock of
any class or classes or other securities or property to which the holder of such number of shares
of Common Stock would have been entitled at the time of such reorganization or reclassification, at
an aggregate Exercise Price equal to that which would have been payable if such number of shares of
Common Stock had been purchased immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification,
appropriate provision (as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company with
the approval of the Holder) shall be made with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the
Warrants (including adjustment provisions) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably
practicable, in relation to such stock or other securities or property.
(6) Distributions. In case the Company shall make any distribution of its assets to holders of
its Common Stock as a liquidation or partial liquidation dividend or by way of return of capital,
or other than as a dividend payable out of earnings or any surplus legally available for dividends
under the laws of the State of California, then the Holder of this Warrant who thereafter exercises
the same as herein provided after the date of record for the determination of those holders of
Common Stock entitled to such distribution of assets, shall be entitled to receive for the purchase
price of the shares of Common Stock stated in this Warrant, in addition to the Shares of Common
Stock, the amount of such assets (or at the option of the Company, a sum equal to the value thereof
at the time of such distribution to holders of Common Stock, as such
value
4
is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith), which would have been payable to such Xxxxxx had
he been the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the
determination of those entitled to such distribution.
(7) Dissolution or Liquidation. In case the Company shall liquidate or wind up its affairs,
the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, upon the exercise thereof, to receive, in lieu of the
shares of Common Stock of the Company which it would have been entitled to receive, the same kind
and amount of assets as would have been issued, distributed or paid to it upon any such
dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to such shares of Common Stock of the Company,
had it been the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the
determination of those entitled to receive any such liquidating distribution; provided, however,
that all rights under this Warrant shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company, such date to be
not earlier than the date of commencement of proceedings for dissolution, liquidation or winding up
and not later than 30 days after such commencement date, unless the Holder shall have, prior to
such termination date, exercised this Warrant. Notice of such termination of rights under this
Warrant shall be given to the last registered Holder hereof, as the same shall appear on the books
of the Company, by mail at least 30 days prior to such termination date. In the event of such
notice the Holder may exercise this Warrant prior to the fifth anniversary hereof.
(g) Limitations on Transfer of Warrant Stock. The Warrant Stock issuable pursuant hereto has
not been registered under the Act. Accordingly, by acceptance hereof the Holder agrees that:
(l) It will acquire the Warrant Stock issuable pursuant hereto to be held as an investment and
that it will not attempt to sell, distribute or dispose of the same except pursuant to this
agreement and:
(a) pursuant to a registration statement filed and rendered effective under the
Act; or
(b) pursuant to a specific exemption from registration under the Act.
(2) There shall appear on the certificate or certificates evidencing any Warrant Stock issued
pursuant hereto a legend as follows:
