WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES
This Warrant (this “Warrant”) is issued to Nob Hill Capital Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership, or its successors or permitted assigns (the “Holder”) by LaserLock Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Senior Secured Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) of even date herewith, in connection with the Company’s issuance to the Holder of a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”).
Section 1. Purchase of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the Company at the Exercise Price (as defined below) up to One Million (1,000,000) fully paid and nonassessable Shares (as defined below) for each unit of $100,000 invested. |
|
(a) Exercise Price. The exercise price for the Shares (as defined below) shall be one $US cent ($0.01) per share of capital stock or other equity security or security convertible into or exercisable for shares of capital stock or other equity security sold to investors in the Next Round of Financing (as defined in the Note) (the “Exercise Price”). |
|
(b) Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the date of the Note and ending on the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 13 hereof. |
|
(c) The Shares. The term “Shares” shall mean shares of capital stock or other equity securities or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the Company issued to investors in the Next Round of Financing. |
1
Section 3. Method of Exercise. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 13 below, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by: |
|
(i) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices stating the number of Share being purchased; |
|
(ii) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased; and |
|
(iii) if the Holder is exercising the Warrant for fewer than all the Shares purchasable hereunder, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a new Warrant in the form hereof for the Shares not being purchased upon such exercise. |
|
Section 4. Certificates for Shares. Upon the exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the subscription notice. |
|
Section 5. Issuance of Shares. The Company covenants that the Shares, when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. |
|
Section 6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: |
|
(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine the Shares, or issue additional Shares as a dividend, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the
same. Any adjustment under this Section 6(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend. For purposes of this subsection (a), if the Shares are convertible into or exercisable for any other class or series of the Company’s securities, subdivisions and consolidations in, and dividends of, such other securities shall result in like adjustments to the number of Shares issuable under this Warrant and the purchase price per share payable therefor. |
|
(b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 6(a) above), then the Company shall make appropriate provision so that the Holder shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the
same number of Shares as were purchasable by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same. |
2
(c) Notice of Adjustment.
When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company
shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of Shares
or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant. |
|
Section 7. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall round such fractional share up to the next whole share. |
|
Section 8. Representations of the Company. The Company represents that all corporate actions on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the sale and issuance of this Warrant have been taken. |
|
Section 9. Representations and Warranties by the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows: |
|
(a) This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise thereof are being acquired for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if so requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale. |
|
(b) The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Shares have not been registered under the Act by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that they must be held by the Holder indefinitely, and that the Holder must therefore bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Act or is exempted from such registration. The Holder further understands that the Warrant Shares have not been qualified under the California Securities Law of 1968 (the “California Law”)
by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the qualification requirements of the California Law pursuant to Section 25102(f) thereof, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder’s investment intent expressed above. |
|
(c) The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of this Warrant and the Shares purchasable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and of protecting its interests in connection therewith. |
3
(d) The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the terms of this Warrant. |
|
(e) The Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act. |
|
Section 10. Restrictive Legend. |
The Shares (unless registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
|
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SHARES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY. |
|
Section 11. Warrants Transferable. Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Section 11, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the Holder hereof (except for transfer taxes), upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed or accompanied by written instructions of transfer. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant prior to registration of such Warrant or Shares, the Holder hereof agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such
holder’s counsel, or other evidence, if requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state securities law then in effect) of this Warrant or the Shares and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates for this Warrant or the Shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law. Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion or other evidence, if so requested, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify such holder that such holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or such
Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 11 that the opinion of counsel for the holder or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the holder promptly with details thereof after such determination has been made. Each certificate representing this Warrant or the Shares transferred in accordance with this Section 11 shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the holder, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in
connection with such restrictions. |

Section 12. Rights of Stockholders. No holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, as a Warrant holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the Shares or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change
of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein. |
