Vemics, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the “Company”), hereby
certifies that _______________________,
their permissible transferees, designees, successors and assigns (collectively,
the “Holder”),
for value received, is entitled to purchase from the Company at any time
commencing on the date hereof (the “Effective Date”), and
terminating on the 5th
anniversary of such date (the “Termination Date”) up
to _________ shares (each, a “Share” and
collectively the “Shares”) of the
Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per Share (the “Common Stock”), at an
exercise price per Share equal to $0.05 (the “Exercise
Price”). The number of Shares purchasable hereunder and the
Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4
hereof.
1. Method of Exercise;
Payment.
(a) Cash
Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised, for cash only, by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time, or
from time to time, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise
form (the "Notice of
Exercise") attached hereto as Exhibit A duly
executed) at the principal office of the Company, and by payment to the Company
of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of the
Shares being purchased, which amount may be paid, at the election of the Holder,
by wire transfer or certified check payable to the order of the
Company. The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s)
representing Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall
be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the Shares represented thereby (and
such Shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close
of business on the date or dates upon which this Warrant is
exercised.
(b) Forced
Exercise. In the event the Company’s Common Stock shall trade
at least 50,000 shares per day at an average price of at least $.75 per share
for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, then the Company shall have the
right to require the Holder to exercise this Warrant in its
entirety. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall only have
a right to require the Holder to exercise this Warrant to the extent that the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof are either registered for
resale under the Securities Act or may be sold without restriction based upon
exemption from the Federal securities laws. The Company shall have a
period of five days from the Trigger Event to give notice to the holder electing
to force the exercise of this Warrant. The Holder will then have a
period of 30 calendar days in which to exercise this Warrant and pay the
exercise price to the Company.
(c) Stock
Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant, as promptly as practicable after this Warrant is
surrendered and delivered to the Company along with all other appropriate
documentation on or after the date of exercise and in any event within ten (10)
days thereafter, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver to the
person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for
the number of Shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event this
Warrant is exercised in part, the Company at its expense will execute and
deliver a new Warrant of like tenor exercisable for the number of Shares for
which this Warrant may then be exercised.
(d) Taxes. The
issuance of the Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the delivery of
certificates or other instruments representing such Shares, shall be made
without charge to the Holder for any tax or other charge in respect of such
issuance.
2. Warrant.
(a)
Exchange, Transfer and
Replacement. At any time prior to the exercise hereof, this
Warrant may be exchanged upon presentation and surrender to the Company, alone
or with other warrants of like tenor of different denominations registered in
the name of the same Holder, for another warrant or warrants of like tenor in
the name of such Holder exercisable for the aggregate number of Shares as the
warrant or warrants surrendered.
(b)
Replacement of
Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and,
in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon delivery of an
indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company,
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this
Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will execute and deliver in lieu thereof,
a new Warrant of like tenor.
(c) Cancellation; Payment of
Expenses. Upon the surrender of this Warrant in connection
with any transfer, exchange or replacement as provided in this Section 2, this
Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company. The Holder shall
pay all taxes and all other expenses (including legal expenses, if any, incurred
by the Holder or transferees) and charges payable in connection with the
preparation, execution and delivery of Warrants pursuant to this Section
2.
(d)
Warrant
Register. The Company shall maintain, at its principal
executive offices (or at the offices of the transfer agent for the Warrant or
such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the
holder hereof), a register for this Warrant (the “Warrant Register”),
in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose
name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each
transferee and each prior owner of this Warrant.
3. Rights and Obligations of
Holders of this Warrant. The Holder of this Warrant shall not,
by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company,
either at law or in equity; provided, however, that in the
event any certificate representing shares of Common Stock or other securities is
issued to the holder hereof upon exercise of this Warrant, such holder shall,
for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Common
Stock on the date on which this Warrant, together with a duly executed Election
to Purchase, was surrendered and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price was
made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such Common Stock
certificate.
4. Adjustments.
(a) Stock Dividends,
Reclassifications, Recapitalizations, Etc. While this Warrant
is outstanding, in the event the Company: (i) pays a dividend in
Common Stock or makes a distribution in Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its
outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combines
its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or
(iv) increases or decreases the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding by reclassification of its Common Stock (including a
recapitalization in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the continuing corporation), then (1) the Exercise Price on the
record date of such division or distribution or the effective date of such
action shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately before such event and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and
(2) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be
exercised immediately before such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such
number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Exercise Price immediately
before such event and the denominator of which is the Exercise Price immediately
after such event.
(b) Combination:
Liquidation. While this Warrant is outstanding, (i) In
the event of a Combination (as defined below), each Holder shall have the right
to receive upon exercise of the Warrant the kind and amount of shares of capital
stock or other securities or property which such Holder would have been entitled
to receive upon or as a result of such Combination had such Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to such event (subject to further adjustment in
accordance with the terms hereof). Unless paragraph (ii) is
applicable to a Combination, the Company shall provide that the surviving or
acquiring Person (the “Successor Company”)
in such Combination will assume by written instrument the obligations under this
Section 4
and the obligations to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or
assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be
entitled to acquire. “Combination” means an
event in which the Company consolidates with, mergers with or into, or sells all
or substantially all of its assets to another Person, where “Person” means any
individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company,
association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization, government
or any agency or political subdivision thereof or any other entity;
(ii) In the event of (x) a Combination where consideration to the
holders of Common Stock in exchange for their shares is payable solely in cash
or (y) the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, the Holders
shall be entitled to receive, upon surrender of their Warrant, distributions on
an equal basis with the holders of Common Stock or other securities issuable
upon exercise of the Warrant, as if the Warrant had been exercised immediately
prior to such event, less the Exercise Price. In case of any
Combination described in this Section 4, the
surviving or acquiring Person and, in the event of any dissolution, liquidation
or winding-up of the Company, the Company, shall deposit promptly with an agent
or trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the funds, if any, necessary to pay
to the Holders the amounts to which they are entitled as described
above. After such funds and the surrendered Warrant are received, the
Company is required to deliver a check in such amount as is appropriate (or, in
the case or consideration other than cash, such other consideration as is
appropriate) to such Person or Persons as it may be directed in writing by the
Holders surrendering such Warrant.
(c) Notice of
Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of
shares of Common Stock and other property, if any, issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall deliver to the
holders of the Warrant in accordance with Section 10 a
certificate of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer setting forth, in
reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which
such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which
(i) the Board of Directors determined the fair value of any evidences of
indebtedness, other securities or property or warrants, options or other
subscription or purchase rights and (ii) the Current Market Value of the Common
Stock was determined, if either of such determinations were required), and
specifying the Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of Warrant after giving effect to such
adjustment.
(d) Notice of Certain
Transactions. While this Warrant is outstanding, in the event
that the Company shall propose (a) to pay any dividend payable in
securities of any class to the holders of its Common Stock or to make any other
non-cash dividend or distribution to the holders of its Common Stock,
(b) to offer the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe for or to
purchase any securities convertible into shares of Common Stock or shares of
stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, (c) to
effect any capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger
affecting the class of Common Stock, as a whole, or (d) to effect the
voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company,
the Company shall, within the time limits specified below, send to each Holder a
notice of such proposed action or offer. Such notice shall be mailed
to the Holders at their addresses as they appear in the Warrant Register (as
defined in Section 2(d)),
which shall specify the record date for the purposes of such dividend,
distribution or rights, or the date such issuance or event is to take place and
the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such
date is to be fixed, and shall briefly indicate the effect of such action on the
Common Stock and on the number and kind of any other shares of stock and on
other property, if any, and the number of shares of Common Stock and other
property, if any, issuable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Exercise Price
after giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to Section 4 which
will be required as a result of such action. Such notice shall be
given as promptly as possible and (x) in the case of any action covered by
clause (a) or (b) above, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date for
determining holders of the Common Stock for purposes of such action or (y) in
the case of any other such action, at least twenty (20) days prior to the date
of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by
the holders of Common Stock, whichever shall be the earlier.
(e)
Current Market
Value. “Current Market Value”
per share of Common Stock or any other security at any date means (i) if the
security is not registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and/or
traded on a national securities exchange, quotation system or bulletin board, as
amended (the “Exchange
Act”), (a) the value of the security, determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company and certified in a board resolution, based on
the most recently completed arm’s-length transaction between the Company and a
Person other than an affiliate of the Company or between any two such Persons
and the closing of which occurs on such date or shall have occurred within the
six-month period preceding such date, or (b) if no such transaction shall have
occurred within the six-month period, the value of the security as determined by
an independent financial expert or an agreed upon financial valuation model or
(ii) if the security is registered under the Exchange Act and/or traded on a
national securities exchange, quotation system or bulletin board, the average of
the daily closing bid prices (or the equivalent in an
over-the-counter market) for each day on which the Common Stock is traded for
any period on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on
which the common Stock is being traded (each, a “Trading Day”) during
the period commencing thirty (30) days before such date and ending on the date
one day prior to such date.
5. Piggy-Back Registration
Rights. The Company covenants and agrees that in the event the
Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933 with respect to the Company’s Common Stock (other than in connection with
an exchange offer or a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or other
similar registration statements not available to register te Purchaser’s
securities), the Company shall include in such registration statement the shares
of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
warrant. All additional expenses of registering such shares shall be
borne by the Company, excluding underwriting commissions, if
any.
6. Fractional
Shares. In lieu of issuance of a fractional share upon any
exercise hereunder, the Company will issue an additional whole share in lieu of
that fractional share, calculated on the basis of the Exercise
Price.
7. Legends. Prior
to the registration of the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant, all
such certificates representing such shares shall bear a restrictive legend to
the effect that the Shares represented by such certificate have not been
registered under the 1933 Act, and that the Shares may not be sold or
transferred in the absence of such registration or an exemption therefrom, such
legend to be substantially in the form of the bold-face language appearing at
the top of Page 1 of this Warrant.
8. Disposition of Warrants or
Shares. The Holder of this Warrant, each transferee hereof and
any holder and transferee of any Shares, by his or its acceptance thereof,
agrees that no public distribution of Warrants or Shares will be made in
violation of the provisions of the 1933 Act. Furthermore, it shall be
a condition to the transfer of this Warrant that any transferee thereof deliver
to the Company his or its written agreement to accept and be bound by all of the
terms and conditions contained in this Warrant.
9. Merger or
Consolidation. The Company will not merge or consolidate with
or into any other corporation, or sell or otherwise transfer its property,
assets and business substantially as an entirety to another corporation, unless
the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation (if not the
Company), or such transferee corporation, as the case may be, shall expressly
assume, by supplemental agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance
to the Holder, the due and punctual performance and observance of each and every
covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the
Company.
10. Notices. Except

and other communications required or desired to be given hereunder shall only be
