2. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges, represents, and warrants to the Company that:
(a) Investment Purpose. As of the date hereof, the Purchaser is purchasing the Notes and the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof (the “Warrant Shares” and, collectively the Notes, and Warrants are sometimes referred to as the “Securities”) for its own account and not with a view towards the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted from registration under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. The Purchaser has no agreement or arrangement, formal or informal, with any person to sell or transfer all or any part of the Securities, and the Purchaser has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement.
(b) Accredited Investor Status. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”), and Purchaser has completed the “Investor Questionnaire” as attached hereto as Annex B.
(c) Reliance on Exemptions. Neither the Units nor the Securities offered are registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire the Securities.
(d) Information. The Purchaser and its advisors, if any, acknowledges that they have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser or its advisors, have carefully reviewed them and understands the information contained therein. The Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and the Purchaser and its Advisors have had access, through the Memorandum and/or the XXXXX system, to true and complete copies of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and all other reports filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) since the filing of the 10-K and prior to the date hereof and have reviewed such filings. Purchaser’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been made based solely on the independent evaluation of the Purchaser and its advisors, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing representations, neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by Purchaser or any of its advisors or representatives shall modify, amend or affect Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below.
(e) Documents. All documents, records, and books pertaining to the investment in the Securities have been made available, subject to certain confidentiality restrictions, for inspection by the Purchaser and its advisors, if any.
(f) No Government Review. The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has approved the Securities or passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Offering or confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of the this Agreement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The Units and the Securities are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Securities Act, and the applicable state securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom.
(g) Transfer or Resale. The Purchaser understands that:
(i) the sale or resale of the Securities has not been and is not being registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and the Securities may not be transferred unless:
(A) the Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act,
2
(B) the Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Company, a customary opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration,
(C) the Securities are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”)) of the Purchaser who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities only in accordance with this Section 2(g) and who is an Accredited Investor,
(D) the Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144, or
(E) the Securities are sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“Regulation S”),
(ii) and, in each case, the Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Company, a customary opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company;
(iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.
(h) Legends. The Purchaser understands that the Securities shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Securities):
“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The securities may not be sold, transferred or assigned in the absence of an effective registration statement for the securities under said Act, or an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, that registration is not required under said Act or unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S under said Act.”
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws: (i) such Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold or (ii) such holder provides the Company with a reasonable and customary opinion of counsel to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the Securities Act. The Purchaser agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any.
(i) Authorization; Enforcement. Each document to which the Purchaser is a party: (i) has been duly and validly authorized, (ii) has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Purchaser, and (iii) will constitute, upon execution and delivery by the Purchaser thereof and the Company, the valid and binding agreements of the Purchaser enforceable in accordance with their terms, except to the extent limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights and general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable or legal remedies.
(j) Residency. The Purchaser is a resident of the jurisdiction set forth immediately below such Purchaser’s name on the signature pages hereto.

(k) Purchaser’s Reliance. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Purchaser has not relied upon any representation or other information (oral or written) other than as stated in this Agreement or as contained in documents so furnished to the Purchaser or its advisors, if any, by the Company or the by persons acting on behalf of the Company. The Purchaser is not relying on the Company, or any of its respective employees or agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Units, and the Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its own advisors, if any.
(l) No Solicitation. The Purchaser is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the offering of the Units directly or indirectly through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any press release, filing with the SEC, article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or the internet, in connection with the offering and sale of the Units and is not subscribing for Units and did not become aware of the offering of the Units through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Purchaser was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Purchaser in connection with investments in securities generally.
(m) Brokerage Fees. The Purchaser has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or the like relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than commissions and other compensation to be paid by as otherwise described in this Agreement).
(n) Independent Evaluation. The Purchaser's decision to enter into this Agreement has been made based solely on the independent evaluation of the Purchaser and its own advisors, if any, and the Purchaser, either alone or together with its advisors, if any, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable it to utilize the information made available to it in connection with the Offering to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Units and the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.
(o) Purchaser Affiliations. The Purchaser is neither a registered representative under the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), a member of FINRA or associated or affiliated with any member of FINRA, nor a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act or engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered, nor is it an affiliate of such a broker-dealer or any person engaged in a business that would require it to be registered as a broker-dealer. In the event such Purchaser is a member of FINRA, or associated or affiliated with a member of FINRA, such Purchaser agrees, if requested by FINRA, to sign a lock-up, the form of which shall be satisfactory to FINRA with respect to the Securities. Furthermore, the Purchaser is not an underwriter of the Securities, nor is it an affiliate of an underwriter of the Securities.
(p) Risk. The purchase of the Units represents a high risk capital investment and the Purchaser is able to afford an investment in a speculative venture having the risks and objectives of the Company. The Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Units indefinitely because none of the Units or the Securities may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Legends shall be placed on the Units and the Securities to the effect that they have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company's books. Stop transfer instructions will be placed with the transfer agent of the Securities, if any, or with the Company. There can be no assurance that there will be any market for resale of the Units or the Securities.
(q) Suitable Investment. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for such Purchaser's current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity of its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has significant prior investment experience, including investments in high risk securities. The Purchaser is knowledgeable about investments in small and thinly capitalized, development stage companies. The Purchaser has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur. The Purchaser's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of the Purchaser’s net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Units will not cause such commitment to become excessive. The investment is a suitable one for the Purchaser.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.
(s) Additional Information. The Purchaser and the advisors, if any, have had the opportunity to obtain any additional information, to the extent the Company had such information in its possession or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information contained in all documents received or reviewed in connection with the purchase of the Units and have had the opportunity to have representatives of the Company provide them with such additional information regarding the terms and conditions of this particular investment and the financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects of the Company deemed relevant by the Purchaser or the advisors, if any, and all such requested information, to the extent the Company had such information in its possession or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, has been provided by the Company to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser and the advisors, if any.

(u) Forward Looking Statements. The Purchaser acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections included in this Agreement and related documents were prepared by the Company in good faith but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed and will not be updated by the Company and should not be relied upon.

5
(x) Federal Regulations. The Purchaser should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) website at <xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx> before making the following representations. The Purchaser represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Offering were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at <xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx>.

Please be advised that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Purchaser agrees to promptly notify the Company should the Purchaser become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Purchaser, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Purchaser, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations, and may also be required to report such action and to disclose the Purchaser’s identity to OFAC. The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Purchaser, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Purchaser if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any of the Company’s service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs.

4. Covenants. In addition to the other agreements and covenants set forth herein, the applicable parties hereto hereby covenant as follows:

3. Conversion.
3.1 At any time after the Financing Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note may be converted into Conversion Shares at any time and from time-to-time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Holder. The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the amount of principal to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “Conversion Date”); provided that the date upon which any such conversion may be effected may not be less than five (5) calendar days following the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion. If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that is five (5) calendar days after such Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Company. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the Note to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Note has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Conversion within ten (10) business days of receipt of such notice. The Holder, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this
20
paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
3.2 The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of any outstanding principal under the Note shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) by (y) where (x) is equal to the amount of outstanding principal to be converted and (y) is the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined).
3.3 Not later than five (5) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares (bearing such legends as may be required by applicable law and those required by the Securities Purchase Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of Note.
3.4 The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) in effect on any Conversion Date shall mean 75% of the average Closing Bid Prices for the thirty Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date. The term "Closing Bid Price" shall mean, on any particular date (i) the closing bid price per share of the Common Stock on such date on the OTC Bulletin Board, or another registered national stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, or if there is no such price on such date, then the closing bid price on such exchange or quotation system on the date nearest preceding such date, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed then on the OTC Bulletin Board or any registered national stock exchange, the closing bid price for a share of Common Stock in the over‑the‑counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or in the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) at the close of business on such date, or (iii) if the Common Stock is not then reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then the average of the "Pink Sheet" quotes for the relevant conversion period, as determined in good faith by the Holder, or (iv) if the Common Stock is not then publicly traded the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company.
3.5 At any time after the Financing Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note may be converted into Conversion Shares at any time and from time-to-time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company. The Company shall effect conversions by delivering to the Holder written notice of conversion specifying therein the amount of principal to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “Conversion Date”);
3.6 Unless the Holder otherwise directs the Company, the Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note pursuant to Section 3.1 hereto, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder would beneficially own, for purposes of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") , in excess of 9.99% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Other notes or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3, beneficial ownership pursuant to the Exchange Act shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, except as set forth in the preceding sentence. For purposes of this Section 3 in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in
21
such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Notes.
3.7 The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock such number of shares as is necessary in order to ensure that a sufficient number are available for the purpose of issuance of Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note, free from pre-emptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder. The Company covenants that all Conversion Shares shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable.
3.8 Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of any Conversion Shares, and the number of Conversion Shares shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.
3.9 If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions in shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re‑classification.
4. Repayment
4.1 Repayment of this Note, including all interest, shall be due on the Maturity Date, unless earlier converted into common shares.

Warrant for the Purchase of 1,000,000
Shares of Common Stock, Par Value $0.001
[This Warrant Will Be Void
After 5:00 P.M. Pacific Time
On ________________, 2014
These securities have not been registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are being
offered in reliance on exemptions from registration provided in Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and
preemption from the registration or qualification requirements (other
than notice filing and fee provisions) of applicable state laws under
the National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996.
THIS WARRANT (this “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, Craigstone Ltd. or its registered assigns (the “Holder” or “Holders”), is entitled, at any time on or before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on _______________, 2014, to subscribe for, purchase, and receive one million (1,000,000) shares (the “Shares”) of fully paid and non-assessable common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”) of US Highland, Inc. an Oklahoma corporation (the “Company”). This Warrant is exercisable to purchase the Shares at the lower of: (i) a price of $0.20 per share or (ii) 75% of the average Closing Bid Price for the thirty Trading Days immediately preceding the Exercise Date (the “Exercise Price”). The number of Shares to be received on exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price may be adjusted on the occurrence of certain events as described herein. If the rights represented hereby are not exercised by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on ______________, 2014, this Warrant shall automatically become void and of no further force or effect, and all rights represented hereby shall cease and expire.
Subject to the terms set forth herein, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder in whole or in part by execution of the form of assignment attached hereto or may be exercised by the Holder in whole or in part by execution of the form of exercise attached hereto and payment of the Exercise Price in the manner described above, all subject to the terms hereof.
1. Exercise of Warrants. The Holder shall have the rights of a stockholder only with respect to Shares fully paid for by the Holder under this Warrant. On the exercise of all or any portion of this Warrant in the manner provided above, the Holder exercising the same shall be deemed to have become a Holder of record of the Shares as to which this Warrant is exercised for all purposes, and certificates for the securities so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, but in no event longer than ten (10) days after this Warrant shall have been exercised as set forth above. If this Warrant shall be exercised in respect to only a part of the Shares covered hereby, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a similar Warrant of like tenor and date covering the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised.
2. Assignment of Warrants. In the event this Warrant is assigned in the manner provided herein, the Company, upon request and upon surrender of this Warrant by the Holder at the principal office of the Company accompanied by payment of all transfer taxes, if any, payable in connection therewith, shall transfer this Warrant on the books of the Company. If the assignment is in whole, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor to this Warrant to the appropriate assignee expressly evidencing the right to purchase the aggregate number of Shares purchasable hereunder; and if the assignment is in part, the Company shall execute and
27
deliver to the appropriate assignee a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor expressly evidencing the right to purchase the portion of the aggregate number of Shares as shall be contemplated by any such agreement, and shall concurrently execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor to this Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining portion of the Shares purchasable hereunder that have not been transferred to the assignee.
3. Fully Paid Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that the Shares that may be issued on the exercise of this Warrant will, on issuance pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, be fully paid and nonassessable, free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and not issued in violation of the preemptive or similar right of any other person. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of Shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
4. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
(a) Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number of Shares purchasable on the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately from time to time as follows:
(i) In the event the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution on any capital stock of the Company payable in Common Stock, rights to purchase Common Stock, or securities convertible into Common Stock, or shall subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or combine such outstanding stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such event, the number of Shares subject to this Warrant shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to purchase the kind and number of Shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company that it would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto; an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date for such event.
(ii) No adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the number of Shares purchasable on the exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this subsection (a) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
(iii) Whenever the number of Shares purchasable on the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Exercise Price payable on exercise shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares purchasable on the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the number of Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.
(iv) Whenever the number of Shares purchasable on the exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price of such Shares is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall cause to be promptly mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder of this Warrant notice of such adjustment or adjustments and shall deliver a resolution of the board of directors of the Company setting forth the number of Shares purchasable on the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Shares after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, together with the computation by which such adjustment was made. Such resolution, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of adjustment.
(v) All such adjustments shall be made by the board of directors of the Company, which shall be binding on the Holder in the absence of demonstrable error.
28
(b) No Adjustment in Certain Cases. No adjustments shall be made in connection with:
(i) the issuance of any Shares on the exercise of this Warrant;
(ii) the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock;
(iii) the exercise or conversion of any rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities containing the right to purchase or acquire Common Stock;
(iv) the issuance of additional Shares or other securities on account of the anti-dilution provisions contained in or relating to this Warrant or any other option, warrant, or right to acquire Common Stock;
(v) the purchase or other acquisition by the Company of any shares of Common Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or assets, or rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock; or
(vi) the sale or issuance by the Company of any shares of Common Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or assets, or rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or other securities pursuant to options, warrants, or other rights to acquire Common Stock or other securities.
5. Notice of Certain Events. In the event of:
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities of the Company for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividends or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase, or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other rights;
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other person, or any consolidation, share exchange, or merger involving the Company; or
(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company,
the Company will mail to the Holder(s) of this Warrant, at least twenty (20) days prior to the earliest date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or right; the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, or right; or the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, share exchange, merger, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company will occur and the terms and conditions of such transaction or event.
6. Limitation of Transfer. Subject to the restrictions set forth in paragraph 7 hereof, this Warrant is transferable at the offices of the Company. On such transfer, every Holder hereof agrees that the Company may deem and treat the registered Holder(s) of this Warrant as the true and lawful owner(s) thereof for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
7. Disposition of Warrants or Shares. Each registered owner of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees for itself and any subsequent owner(s) that, before any disposition is made of any Warrants or Shares of Common Stock, the owner(s) shall give written notice to the Company describing briefly the manner of any such proposed disposition. No such disposition shall be made unless and until:
(a) the Company has received written assurances from the proposed transferee confirming a factual basis for relying on exemptions from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws for such transfer or an opinion from counsel for the Holder(s) of the Warrants or Shares stating that no
29
registration under the Securities Act or applicable state statute is required with respect to such disposition; or
(b) a registration statement under the Securities Act has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC covering such proposed disposition and the disposition has been registered or qualified, or is exempt therefrom, under the state having jurisdiction over such disposition.
8. Restricted Securities: Registration of Securities. The Holder acknowledges that this Warrant is, and that the Shares issuable on exercise hereof will be, “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Accordingly, this Warrant must be taken for investment and held indefinitely. Likewise, any Shares issued on exercise of this Warrant must be taken for investment and held indefinitely and may not be resold unless such resale is registered under the Securities Act and/or comparable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. A legend to the foregoing effect shall be placed conspicuously on the face of all certificates for Shares issuable on exercise of this Warrant.
9. Reports under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell the Shares issuable on exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, until such Shares may be resold pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 or any similar provision:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and,
(c) furnish to any Holder, forthwith upon request: (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-2 or Form S-3; (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company; and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
10. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be construed under and be governed by the laws of the state of Oklahoma.
11. Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
12. Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
13. Remedies. Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
14. Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders of this Warrant from the Initial Exercise Date through the Termination Date, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
30
15. Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
16. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
17. Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
18. Loss, Theft, Destruction, or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company of reasonable evidence of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
19. Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes in respect of the issue of this Warrant or the Shares issuable upon exercise thereof.
