WARRANT
No. ______ | Issue Date: March 10, 2010 |
THIS WARRANT certifies that, for value received, Advisor Associates, Inc., a New York corporation, or its assigns and/or any transferee thereof (the “Holder”), shall be entitled to subscribe for and purchase from CELLYNX GROUP, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND (2,500,000) shares (subject to adjustment as provided herein, the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), at the Exercise Price (as defined in Section 1.1) for each Warrant Share, during the Exercise Period (as defined in Section 1.2), pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Warrant.
1. Exercise.
1.1 Exercise Price. The “Exercise Price” shall be one-tenth of one cent ($0.001) per share, subject to Section 2 hereof.
1.2 Exercise Period. Subject to the right of the Company to cancel this Warrant under the terms of Section 1.4 below, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part by the Holder at any time after June 9, 2010 hereof until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that date which is five (5) years after the date hereof (i.e., March 9, 2015) (such period being herein referred to as the “Exercise Period”).
1
1.3 Exercise of Warrant.
1.3.1 The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in any part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), by (i) the surrender of this Warrant (properly endorsed) at the principal office of the Company at 00000 Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, XX 00000 (or at such other agency or office of the Company in the United States of America as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), (ii) delivery to the Company, with a copy to its legal counsel, of a notice of election to exercise in the form of Exhibit A, and (iii) payment to the Company by cash, wire transfer funds, or check in an amount equal to the then applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased, or pursuant to the cashless exercise procedure set forth below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) business days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Each date on which the Holder’s rights represented by this Warrant are exercised by fully complying with subsections (i), (ii), and (iii) of this Section 1.3.1 is referred to as an “Exercise Date.”
The Holder shall have the option (the "Cashless Exercise Option"), to exercise this Warrant, in whole but not in part, by the surrender of this Warrant and the Form of Exercise (and without payment in cash of the amount described in Section 1.3.1(iii) above) in exchange for a number of whole shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Company's Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable as of the business day on which notice of election to exercise in the form of Exhibit A Warrant is received by the Company or its counsel (the "Cashless Exercise Date"), and (b) the Cashless Exercise Ratio (the "Cashless Exercise"). The "Cashless Exercise Ratio" shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:
Final Price on Cashless Exercise Date - Exercise Price
Final Price on Cashless Exercise Date
where: "Final Price" means, on any day, the last reported sale price per share of the Company's Common Stock for that day. The "Cashless Exercise Date" shall be deemed the "Exercise Date" under the Warrant."
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 1.3.1.
1.3.2 Simultaneously with each exercise, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to issue and deliver a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares being purchased pursuant to such exercise, registered in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s designee, to such Holder or designee, as the case may be. If such exercise shall not have been for the full number of the Warrant Shares, then the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant, registered in the name of the Holder, of like tenor to this Warrant, for the balance of the Warrant Shares.
2
1.3.3 No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Company shall issue one whole Warrant Share.
1.4 Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant is issued pursuant to the terms of a Consulting Agreement of even dated between the Company and Holder. Under Section 2 of the Consulting Agreement, the Company may terminate the Consulting Agreement during the initial 90 day period, i.e., before June 9, 2010, in the event that the Company is not reasonably satisfied with the performance of Consultant. Under Section 5(c) of the Consulting Agreement, upon termination of the Consulting Agreement during such initial 90 day period under Section 2 thereof, the Company may also terminate and cancel this Warrant. Accordingly, any written notice of termination of the Consulting Agreement by the Company to the Holder (or its successors or assigns) on or before June 9, 2010 pursuant to Section 2 thereof shall constitute notice of termination of this Warrant. In the event that the Company shall furnish such written notice of termination during the initial 90 days, then from and after the date of such notice, this Warrant shall be terminated and cancelled and the Holder (and any successor or assign of Holder) shall have no further rights hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the provisions relating to termination of this Warrant under this Section 1.4 shall relate only to termination of the Consulting Agreement during the initial 90 days pursuant to Section 2 thereof, but to no other termination of the Consulting Agreement whatsoever.
2. Anti-dilution Provisions. The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable on exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2.
2.1 Change in Capital Stock. If the Company (i) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of its capital stock, then in each case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder of any Warrant exercised thereafter may receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such action. The adjustment as provided in this Section 2.1 shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, or reclassification. If after an adjustment, a Holder of a Warrant, upon its exercise, may receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Company shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between the classes of capital stock. After such allocation, the exercise privilege and the exercise price of each such class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section 2.
3
2.2 Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted to the nearest whole share to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately thereafter.
3. Representations, Warranties, and Covenants as to Stock. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder that (i) all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof, and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof, (ii) the Company is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, has all requisite power to carry on its business as presently being conducted, and is qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing could have a material adverse effect on the Company, (iii) the Company has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Warrant and to perform its obligations hereunder, (iv) this Warrant has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, and (v) the execution, delivery, and performance of this Warrant by the Company have not violated and shall not violate any law, rule, or regulation to which the Company is subject, the Articles of Incorporation or by-laws of the Company, or any material agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.
The Company covenants and agrees that the Company will take all such action as may be required to assure that the Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant in full.
4. Transfer of Warrant. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable by the Holder, in whole or in part, and from time to time, upon (i) surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed, and (ii) delivery of a notice of transfer in the form of Exhibit B by the Holder or its duly authorized representative at the office of the Company, the Company will at its expense issue to or upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor in the name of such Holder or as such Holder may direct. Each transferee and holder of this Warrant, by accepting or holding the same, consents that this Warrant, when endorsed, in blank, shall be deemed negotiable, and, when so endorsed, the holder hereof shall be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purposes and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant, or to the transfer hereof on the books of the Company, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that until each such transfer is recorded on such books, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the owner hereof for all purposes.
4
5. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company shall at its expense (upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in the Company and, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
6. Notices. All notices or other communications which are required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and sufficient if delivered personally or sent by recognized overnight courier, prepaid, addressed as follows:

8. Modification and Severability. If, in any action before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce any provision contained herein, any provision hereof is found to be unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency. If any such provision is not enforceable as set forth in the preceding sentence, the unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the other provisions of this Warrant, but this Warrant shall be construed as if such unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
