WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
| Corporation: | ACCELERIZE INC. |
|
Number of Shares: |
See below |
| Class of Securities: | Common Stock |
| Initial Exercise Price: | [the closing price on the day prior to the issue date] |
| Issue Date: | March 11, 2016 |
| Expiration Date: | March 11, 2021 |
This Warrant Certifies That, for good and valuable consideration, AGILITY CAPITAL II, LLC or its registered assignee (“Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the class of securities (the “Shares”) of Accelerize Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) at the initial exercise price per Share (the “Warrant Price”) set forth above and herein, and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this Warrant.
This Warrant is being issued to Holder in connection with that certain Loan Agreement by and between Agility Capital II, LLC (“Lender”) and Company dated as of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”). The initial number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is zero (0). On June 30, 2016, if any amounts under the Loan Agreement remain outstanding, then the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall equal $31,250 divided by the Warrant Price (the “Initial Shares”). In addition to the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) pursuant to Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) of the Loan Agreement, the number of Shares that may be acquired hereunder shall increase by an additional number of Shares equal to 5% of the number of Shares issuable hereunder upon the date of such Event of Default, and further increased on the 15th day following such Event of Default and on each 15th day thereafter (each, a “Measurement Date”) by a number of Shares equal to 5% of the number of Shares issuable upon such Measurement Date, until the Event of Default is cured to Lender’s satisfaction or waived in writing by Lender.

Exercise |
1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering this Warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2 Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.3.
1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded regularly in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. Otherwise, the value shall be as reasonably determined by the Board of Director of the Company in good faith.
1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.
1.5 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, or surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

2. |
Adjustments To The Shares. |
2.1 Dividends. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its Common Stock or other securities, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the property to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend occurred.
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events. Upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and then this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets (including intellectual property) of the Company, or any reorganization, consolidation, or merger of the Company where the holders of the Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction.
2.3 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, the outstanding Shares are reverse-split, combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding Shares are split, combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of or conversion of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased.
2.4 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment. If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares other than as described above that adversely affects Holder’s rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that the aggregate Warrant Price of this Warrant is unchanged.
2.5 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price or the Shares, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer or other authorized officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is base and the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the type and number of Shares issuable under the Warrant on the date hereof.
