CONFIDENTIAL

irrevocable, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, and may be accepted or rejected in whole or in part by the Company in its sole discretion.
.
Public Company Transaction. The Company intends to enter into an agreement with a public company (“PubCo”) that trades on the OTC Bulletin board pursuant to which PubCo shall acquire 100% of the outstanding equity of the Company and all shareholders of the Company (including the Investor) shall become shareholders of PubCo (the “Public Company Transaction”).

The Company intends that the Public Company Transaction shall be conducted on a 1:1 exchange basis in which the Investor shall receive 1 PubCo share for each 1 share of the Company, and in no event shall PubCo have more than 9,700,000 shares outstanding at the closing of the Public Company Transaction. The definitive agreement for the Public Company Transaction shall provide that the investors in the Offering (including the Investor) shall have the right to demand the registration of their PubCo shares on a registration statement to be prepared and filed by the Company within 90 days after the closing of the Public Company Transaction. These registration rights shall be set forth in the definitive agreement and shall contain such other customary provisions as agreed upon by the parties including the obligation of Investor to provide certain information to PubCo. Any Public Company Transaction shall include provisions for the Warrants to be exchanged for warrants issued by PubCo with the same term, exercise price and other material terms.
3.
Representations and Warranties of Investor. To induce the Company to accept this subscription, the Investor represents and warrants as follows:
()
The Investor has had adequate opportunity to obtain information from and ask questions of the Company concerning the Company business, and all the Investor's questions concerning these matters have been answered to the Investor's satisfaction. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company, is able to bear the risks of an investment in the Company and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the purchase of the Securities.
()
The Securities to be acquired hereunder are being acquired by the Investor for the Investor's own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to resale or distribution.
(c)
Investor either has a pre-existing personal or business relationship with the Company, or by reason of Investor’s business or financial experience, or the business or financial experience of their professional advisors who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company, directly or indirectly, have the capacity to protect their own interests in connection with the purchase of the Securities.
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 4 of 32
(d)
Investor is not aware of the publication of any advertisement in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.
(e)
The Investor understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the securities laws of any state thereof or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, nor is such registration contemplated. The Investor understands and agrees further that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and appropriate state securities laws or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and appropriate state securities laws covering the sale of the Securities, as applicable, is available. The Investor understands that legends stating that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and state securities laws and setting out or referring to the restrictions on the transferability and resale of the Securities will be placed on the certificates representing the Securities. The Investor's overall commitment to the Company and other investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Investor's net worth and the Investor has no need for immediate liquidity in the Investor's investment in the Company.
(f)
The Investor has made no reliance upon any literature other than the “Sugarmade, Inc. Business Plan” dated March 2011 (the “Business Plan”) and is not relying on any information, representation or warranty by the Company, the Company, the Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates or agents, other than information contained in the Business Plan, in determining whether to purchase the Securities. To the full satisfaction of the Investor, the Investor has been furnished any materials the Investor has requested relating to the Company business and the Offering and the Investor has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering.
(g)
The Investor understands that certain forward-looking statements and projections that may be contained in the Business Plan by their nature involve significant elements of subjective judgment and analysis that may or may not be correct; that there can be no assurance that such statements or projections will be accurate; and that such statements or projections should not be relied on as a promise or representation of the future performance of the Company business or Company.
(h)
The Investor has consulted to the extent deemed appropriate by the Investor with the Investor's own advisers as to the financial, tax, legal and related matters concerning an investment in the Company and on that basis believes that an investment in the Company is suitable and appropriate for the Investor.
(i)
If the Investor is a natural person, he or she has the legal capacity and all requisite authority to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement, to purchase the Securities and to perform all the obligations required to be performed by the Investor hereunder. If the Investor is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, it is authorized to purchase the Securities and otherwise to comply with its obligations under this Agreement. The person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity is duly authorized by such entity to do so. This Agreement is
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 5 of 32
the valid and binding agreement of the Investor and enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms. Such execution, delivery and compliance by or on behalf of the Investor does not conflict with, or constitute a default under, any instruments to which the Investor is bound, any law, regulation or order to which the Investor is subject, or any agreement to which the Investor is a party or by which the Investor is or may be bound.
(j)
The principal residence of the Investor is in the jurisdiction indicated below the Investor's signature hereto, or if the Investor is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, such Investor is organized and qualified under the law of the state indicated below.
(k)
The Investor acknowledges that legal counsel to the Company and PubCo do not represent any Investor, and that legal counsel to the Company and PubCo shall owe no duties directly to that Investor. The Investor acknowledges that legal counsel to the Company and PubCo have not represented the interests of any Investor in the preparation of any documents or agreements related to the Offering, including this Agreement. The Investor represents and warrants that it has either engaged independent legal counsel to represent them with respect to the Offering, or has had the opportunity to do so.
(l)
The Investor acknowledges the risks related to an investment in the Company, which risks include, without limitation, the following:
Limited operating history. The Company was formed in 2009 to pursue opportunities in the “green” paper industry and has a limited operating history. The Company does not have significant operating revenues to date. The Company does not have any historical financial data upon which to base planned operations or financial forecasting. Because the Company has a limited operating history, its historical financial information is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Therefore, it is difficult to evaluate the business and prospects of the Company. The Company has limited experience as to whether its products will be popular with consumers. Failure to correctly evaluate the Company’s prospects could result in an investor’s loss of a significant portion or all of his investment in the Company.
The Company’s failure to obtain additional adequate financing would materially and adversely affect the Company's business. The Company may require additional capital in the future. There is no assurance that the Company could obtain additional financing or capital from any other sources, or that such financing or capital would be available to the Company on acceptable terms. Under such circumstances, investors in the Securities could lose their entire investment in the Company.
The Company faces competition from other companies. The Company will face competition from other companies with similar “green” product offerings and from the recycled paper industry. Many of these companies have longer operating histories, greater name recognition and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than us. Many of these companies also have more extensive customer bases, broader customer relationships and broader industry alliances than us, including
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 6 of 32
relationships with many of the Company's potential customers. Increased competition from any of these sources could result in the Company's failure to achieve and maintain an adequate level of customers and market share to support the cost of operations.
The Company will rely on a third-party supplier and third party distributors. The Company will be dependent on other companies to provide necessary products and services in connection with key elements of its business, including The Sugar Cane Paper Co., Ltd., a Hong Kong limited company (“SCPC”) located in The People’s Republic of China for the supply of its paper products. The continued supply of paper products from China is subject to risk of interruption due to a variety of factors including, without limitation, any cessation of business by SCPC, the inability of SCPC to export the products, or disruptions in shipping due to strikes, war, weather, Acts of God, or government action. Any interruption in the Company’s ability to obtain these products from SCPC would severely harm business and results of operations and could result in the Investor’s complete loss of his or her investment. Additionally, the Company’s current business model includes plans to have the products sold through third party retailers. The Company will be dependent on these third party retailers to sell its products. Any discontinuation by these third party retailers for any reason to sell the products would severely harm business and results of operations and could result in the Investor’s complete loss of his or her investment.
Limited Transferability of Securities. Each purchaser of Securities is required to represent that he or she is acquiring such securities for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale, that he or she understands such securities are not freely transferable and, in any event, that he or she must bear the economic risk of investment in such securities for an indefinite period of time because such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, and that such securities cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered or an exemption from such registration is available.
No Market For Common Stock. There currently is no market for the Securities. There can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market will develop, or if initially developed, that such a market will be sustained. Accordingly, investors may be required to retain ownership of the Securities and bear the economic risk of this investment for an indefinite period.
Speculative Investment. The Company’s business objectives must be considered highly speculative, and there is no assurance it will satisfy those objectives. No assurance can be given that the investors will realize a substantial return on their purchase of the Securities, if any, or that the investors will not lose their investment completely. For this reason, each prospective investor should read the Business Plan and this Agreement and all exhibits and should consult with their attorney or business advisor before purchasing Securities.
No Registration with Securities and Exchange Commission or State Securities
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 7 of 32
Authorities. The Securities have not been registered with the SEC under the Securities Act, or with the securities agency of any state, and the Securities are being offered in reliance upon an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and state securities laws applicable only to offers and sales to investors meeting the suitability requirements set forth herein.
Private Offering - Lack of Agency Review. Since this Offering is a non-public offering and, as such, is not registered under federal or state securities laws, prospective investors will not have the benefit of review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any state securities commission.
Projected Aggregate Cash Flow. Any projections of cash flow included in the Business Plan and all other materials or documents supplied by the Company’s management are necessarily speculative and are qualified in their entirety by the assumptions, information and risks disclosed in the Business Plan and this Agreement. The projections included in the Business Plan are based upon assumptions made by the Company's management and consultants regarding future events. Actual results for any period will vary from those projections for a number of reasons, including the risks outlined in the Business Plan and this Agreement. Potential investors are advised to consult with their tax and business advisors concerning the validity and reasonableness of the factual, accounting and tax assumptions. Company management does not make any representation or warranty as to the Company's future profitability or of an investment in the Securities.
Possible Dilution of Ownership. If the Company requires additional funding for its operations or product development, the Company may secure such funding through the sale of additional stock of the Company to third parties. The terms of any such sale of securities cannot be predicted, and may be less favorable to the Company than the terms of this Offering of Securities. If in the future, the Company sells securities to third parties at a price lower than the offering price of the Securities in this Offering, purchasers of Securities in this Offering may incur a dilution of the value of their investment in the Company.
Public Company Transaction. As discussed above, the Company has held preliminary discussions with a public company regarding the potential for an acquisition or merger of the Company by the public company. However as of the time of this Agreement, the Company may have yet to have entered into any agreement for a Public Company Transaction, and there can be no assurances that such a Public Company Transaction will be completed, or if completed, will be on terms which are advantageous to the Company or its shareholders. If the Company completes (or has completed) a Public Company Transaction, the Company may not directly inform the Investor of such Transaction or the terms thereof. Also, if the Company completes a Public Company Transaction, the Company would become subject to the regulatory, accounting and reporting burdens associated with operating as a public company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and related regulations. The Company’s senior management has
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 8 of 32
limited experience with publicly-traded companies and may not be fully familiar with the requirements of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”) and other laws, rules and regulations that apply to companies required to file reports with the SEC. If the Company becomes publicly traded, it may be time consuming, difficult and costly for the Company to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SEC and the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. The Company would need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If the Company becomes publicly-traded, and is unable to comply with the SEC reporting and accounting requirements, or the internal controls requirements of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, the Company may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act requires publicly-traded companies to obtain, or to remain eligible to have the Company’s Securities trade on a public exchange or quotation system such at the OTC Bulletin Board. The Investor also understands that PubCo will likely be a “shell” company with no or nominal assets and operations.

The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as escrow agent hereunder by giving the Company and the Investor at least 3 days’ prior written notice thereof, provided that, except as set forth below, a new escrow agent is appointed by the Investor with the consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(a)
Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Issue Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of (1) a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto and (2) delivering payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares purchased in the Notice of Exercise Form by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank.

Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $1.50, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
(c)
Mechanics of Exercise.
i.
Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if the Company is then a participant in such system and there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(c)(v) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.
ii.
Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the un-purchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii.
Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(c)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv.
No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
v.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this
| -3- |
|
|
|
|
Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
vi.
Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
(d)
Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Business Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
| -4- |
|
|
|
|
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
3.
Certain Adjustments.
(a)
Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant or any other warrant or option issued by the Company), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise 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 immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) 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.
(b)
Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends other than regular cash dividends paid out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in accordance with GAAP) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

(c)
Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(d) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(d) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. .
(d)
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
(e)
Notice to Holder.

|
i.
Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii.
Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
4.

(a)
Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The Warrant, if properly assigned
| -7- |
|
|
|
|
in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
(b)
New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date set forth on the first page of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
(c)
Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
(d)
Understandings or Arrangements.
Such Holder is acquiring this Warrant as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Warrant (this representation and warranty not limiting such Holder’s right to sell the Warrant pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.) Such Holder is acquiring this Warrant hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
5.
Miscellaneous.

(b)
Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall include the posting of a bond if reasonably required by the Company), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
(e)
No Impairment. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any 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 of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.
(f)
Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to conflict of laws provisions.
(g)
Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws. Under no circumstances will this warrant be settled on a net cash basis.
(h)
Non-waiver 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. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, 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.
