23. Risk Factors
Purchase of Debentures pursuant to this Offering should only be made after consulting with independent and qualified sources of investment and tax advice. Investment in the Debentures at this time is speculative due to the stage of the Corporation’s development. An investment in Debentures is appropriate only for Subscribers who are prepared to invest money for two (2) years and who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment. Subscribers must rely on management of the Corporation. Any investment in the Corporation at this stage involves a high degree of risk. The following additional risk factors are inherent in an investment in the Debentures:
1. Redemptions: There can be no assurance that if additional funding is required by the Corporation to redeem any or all of the Debentures on maturity, that such financing will be available on terms satisfactory to the Corporation, or at all. If the Corporation does not have sufficient funds on hand to redeem any or all of the Debentures and its assets do not mature or cannot be sold quickly enough, it will not be able to redeem any or all of the Debentures on maturity.
2. Debentures have no security: The Debentures offered pursuant to this Offering are unsecured obligations and will rank pari passu among themselves and subordinate to all secured obligations of the Corporation.
3. Tax Consequences: The tax consequences associated with an investment in the Debentures may be subject to changes in federal and state tax laws. There can be no assurance that the tax laws will not be changed in a manner that will adversely affect tax consequences to Subscribers holding or disposing of the Debentures.
4. No Right to Vote: Debentureholders will have no right to vote on matters relating to the Corporation. Exclusive authority and responsibility for managing the Corporation rests with management of the Corporation and those persons, consultants and advisors retained by management on behalf of the Corporation. Accordingly, Subscribers should appreciate that they will be relying on the good faith, experience, expertise and ability of the directors and officers of the Corporation and other parties for the success of the business of the Corporation.
5. Systemic Risk: Credit risk may arise through a default by one of several large institutions that are dependent on one another to meet their liquidity or operational needs, so that a default by one institution causes a series of defaults by the other institutions. This is sometimes referred to as a "systemic risk" and may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms and exchanges, with which the Corporation and/or the other parties that may have impact on the Debentures interact on a daily basis.
6. Limited History: The Corporation has limited operational history. Accordingly, there is limited information available to a Subscriber upon which to base an evaluation of the Corporation and its business and prospects. The Corporation is in the early stages of its business and therefore is subject to the risks associated with early stage companies, including uncertainty of revenues, markets and profitability, the need to raise additional funding, the evolving and unpredictable nature of the Corporation’s business and the ability to identify, attract and retain qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be successful in doing what it is required to do to overcome these risks. No assurance can be given that the Corporation’s business activities will be successful.
7. Illiquid Investment: An investment in the Debenture of the Corporation is an illiquid investment. There is currently no public market through which the Debenture of the Corporation may be resold.
8. No Deposit Insurance: The Debentures are not insured against loss through the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other insurance company or program.
9. No Independent Counsel: No independent counsel has been retained on behalf of the Subscribers; and no independent counsel has conducted any due diligence and reviewed the structure and the documentation of the Offering on their behalf to assess potential issues and risks for Debenture Holders.
10. Competitive Industry: The regulated gaming industry in Italy in which the Corporation operates is, and will continue to be, very competitive. There is no assurance that the Corporation will be able to continue to compete successfully or that the level of competition and pressure on pricing will not affect its margins.
11. General Market Risk: The Corporation and its affiliates may be adversely affected by a general deterioration in economic conditions or a deterioration affecting specific industries, products or geographies: A recession or downturn in the economy or the deterioration in the economic conditions affecting specific industries, geographic locations and/or products could make it difficult for the Corporation and its affiliates to originate new business and maintain existing business.
12. Liquidity Risk: If the Corporation requires new capital, it may need to raise additional funds. If it is unable to raise such capital, it would need to curtail its growth and its business, and its ability to service or redeem Debentures could be adversely impacted.
In addition, a Subscriber should refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the most recent Form 10-K filing of the Corporation and any amendments thereto which are available at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxx/xxxx.

NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
Section 5.2 Manner of Conversion of Right to Convert into Common Shares.
(1) The Holder of a Debenture desiring to exercise his, her, its rights under Section 5.1 in whole or in part to convert into Common Shares shall surrender such Debenture to the Transfer Agent at its office in the Town of Addison, Texas, together with the provided conversion form attached hereto or any other written notice in a form satisfactory to the Transfer Agent acting in its sole discretion, in either case duly executed by the Holder or his, her or its estate trustees, legal representatives, or attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in the form attached to this Debenture and executed in a manner satisfactory to the Transfer Agent, exercising his, her or its right to convert into Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5. Thereupon, the Holder, subject to compliance with all reasonable requirements of the Transfer Agent, shall be entitled to be entered in the books of the Company as at the Date of Conversion (or such later date as is specified in subsection 5.2(2)), as the
holder of the number of Common Shares specified in subsection 5.2(1) and, within 3 Business Days, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder or, subject as aforesaid, his, her or its nominee or assignee, (a) a certificate or certificates for such Common Shares or electronic delivery through the DTC-DWAC system; (b) certificates for Common Shares with respect to the interest payment pursuant to Section 2.4; and, (c) if applicable, a check for any amount payable under Section 5.5. The Debenture or the portion hereof that is surrendered to the Company in payment for Common Shares shall be cancelled.
(2) For the purposes of this Article 5, a Debenture shall be deemed to be surrendered in exercise of conversion rights under Section 5.1 on the date (the “Date of Conversion”) on which it is so surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5 and, in the case of a Debenture so surrendered by post or other means of transmission, on the date on which it is received by the Transfer Agent at its office designated in subsection 5.2(1). If a Debenture is surrendered upon conversion into Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5 on any day on which the Transfer Agent is closed, the Person entitled to receive Common Shares upon the exercise of conversion rights hereunder shall become the shareholder of record of such Common Shares as at the date on which the Transfer Agent is next open.
Section 5.3 Partial Conversion.
(1) The conversion rights under Section 5.1 may be exercised with respect to any part of this Debenture, provided such part is an integral multiple of one thousand ($1,000) dollars and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all references in this Debenture to exercise of conversion rights and surrender of this Debenture in payment of the subscription price of Common Shares shall be deemed to include exercise of conversion rights with respect to any such part.
(2) The Holder of any Debenture of which part only is transferred to the Company in payment of the subscription price of Common Shares shall, upon the exercise of his, her or its right to convert into Common Shares or the right of the Company to require such conversion surrender such Debenture to the Transfer Agent and the Transfer Agent shall cancel the same and shall, without expense to the Holder, forthwith certify, and deliver to the Holder a new Debenture or Debentures identical in all material respects to this Debenture, but in an aggregate principal amount of the Debenture so surrendered with respect to which the Holder has not exercised, his, her or its conversion rights.
Section 5.4 Adjustment of Conversion Basis.
(1) If and whenever the Company shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares; or (iii) issue any Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares or any other class of shares of the Company by way of a stock dividend (other than the issuance of Common Shares as interest payments on the Debentures), the number of Common Shares which may be obtained pursuant to Section 5.1 for each one thousand ($1,000) dollars principal amount of this Debenture as of the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation or on the record date for such issue of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) by way of a stock dividend, as the case may be, shall be increased, in the case of the events referred to in (i) and (iii) above, in the proportion which the number of Common Shares outstanding after such subdivision, redivision or dividend bears to the number of Common Shares outstanding before such subdivision, redivision or dividend, or shall be decreased, in the case of the events referred to in (ii) above, in the proportion which the number of Common Shares outstanding after such reduction, combination or consolidation bears to the number of Common Shares outstanding before such reduction, combination or consolidation. Any such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date fixed for such stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under this subsection 5.4(1) or subsection 5.4(2), (3) or (4) and, in the case where securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares are distributed, shall include the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been converted into Common Shares on such record date.
(2) If at any time while the debentures are outstanding the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of
rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of its outstanding Common Shares or any other class of shares of the Company, entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or a combination of Common Shares and such exchangeable or convertible securities) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than the Conversion Price, the number of Common Shares which may be obtained pursuant to Section 5.1 for each one thousand ($1,000) dollars principal amount of this Debenture shall be adjusted immediately after such record date by multiplying the Conversion Basis in effect on such record date by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable), and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus a number of Common Shares equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible securities so offered) by the Conversion Price; to the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not so issued or any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the number of Common Shares which may be obtained pursuant to Section 5.1 for each one thousand ($1,000) dollars principal amount of this Debenture shall be re-adjusted to that which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.
(3) If and whenever the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution (other than any distributions constituting dividends paid in the ordinary course) to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares or any other class of shares of the Company of (i) shares of the Company of any class other than Common Shares, or (ii) rights, options or warrants or other securities of the Company which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares (excluding those referred to in subsection 5.4(2); or (iii) evidences of its indebtedness (excluding those referred to in subsection 5.4(2); or (iv) property or other assets of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, then, in each such case, the number of Common Shares which may be obtained pursuant to Section 5.1 for each one thousand ($1,000) dollars principal amount of the Debenture shall be adjusted immediately after such record date by multiplying the Conversion Basis in effect on such record date by a fraction (v) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Conversion Price, and (vi) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Conversion Price less the fair market value (as determined by the Directors, subject to the approval of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company, which determination, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive) of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences or indebtedness or assets so distributed; any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation to the extent that such distribution is not so made, the number of Common Shares which may be obtained pursuant to Section 5.1 for each one thousand ($1,000) dollars principal amount of this Debenture shall be re-adjusted to that which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to that which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to that which would then be in effect based upon such share or rights, options or warrants or other securities or evidences of indebtedness or property or other assets actually distributed, as the case may be.
(4) In case of the reclassification of the Common Shares at any time outstanding (other than any subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination of consolidation of Common Shares into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares) or change of the Common Shares into other shares, or in case of a Corporate Reorganization of the Company, (other than a Corporate Reorganization which does not result in a reclassification of the outstanding shares), the Holder of the Debenture if he, she or it shall thereafter exercise his, her or its rights to obtain Common Shares under Section 5.1, in whole or in part, shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which he, she or it was therefore entitled upon exercise of such conversion rights, the kind and amount of shares and other securities or property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such reclassification, change or Corporate Reorganization, as the case may be, if on the effective date thereof, he, she or it had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which he, she or it was theretofore entitled upon exercise of such Holder’s rights to obtain Common Shares under Section 5.1. If necessary, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Article 5 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article 5 shall thereafter
correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise its rights to obtain Common Shares under Section 5.1. Any such adjustments shall be approved by the Directors, subject to the approval of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company, and shall be set forth in a notice given to the Holder in accordance with Article 9 hereof and, absent manifest error, shall for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.
(5) In any case in which this Section 5.4 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Company may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Holder the additional Common Shares issuable by reason of the adjustment upon a conversion pursuant to Section 5.1 made after such record date and before the occurrence of such event. The Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder in any such case an appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder’s right to receive such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Common Shares declared in favour of holders of record of Common Shares on and after the Date of Conversion or such later date as such holder would, but for the provisions of this subsection 5.4(5), have become the holder of record of such additional Common Shares pursuant to subsection 5.2(2).
(6) The adjustments provided for in this Section 5.4 are cumulative, shall in the case of the resulting adjustments to the Conversion Price be computed to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of one (1) cent and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section 5.4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.4, no adjustment of the Conversion Basis and Conversion Price shall be required in respect of any such event unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one (1%) per cent in the Conversion Basis then in effect. Any adjustments which by reason of the preceding sentence of this subsection 5.4(6) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account on any subsequent adjustment.
(7) If any questions arise with respect to the adjustments provided in this Section 5.4 and except with respect to matters where a decision of the Directors is expressly stated herein to be conclusive, such questions shall be determined by the Company’s Auditors, subject to the consent of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company and such determination, absent manifest error, shall be binding upon the Company and the Holder.
Section 5.5 No Requirement to Issue Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon the conversion rights pursuant to this Article 5. If any fractional interest in a Common Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 5.5, be deliverable upon the conversion of any principal amount of Debentures, the Company shall, in lieu of delivering any certificate of such fractional interest, satisfy such fractional interest by paying to the Holder of such surrendered Debentures an amount of lawful money of United States equal (computed to the nearest whole cent, and one-half of a cent being rounded up) to the appropriate fraction of the deemed value of a Common Share.
Section 5.6 Certificate as to Adjustment. The Company shall from time to time immediately after the occurrence of an event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 5.4, deliver a certificate of the President of the Company to the Holder, and the Transfer Agent specifying the event requiring such adjustment or re-adjustment and the results thereof, including detailed calculations and, upon giving such certificate, such adjustment or readjustment shall be conclusive and binding on all parties in interest. No such notice need be given under this Section 5.6 if the Company has given notice under Section 5.7 covering all the relevant facts in respect of such event.
Section 5.7 Notice of Special Matters. The Company agrees that so long as any Debenture remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Holder, in the manner provided in Article 9, and the Transfer Agent of its intention to fix a record date for any event mentioned in Section 5.4 which may give rise to an adjustment in the Conversion Basis, and, in each case, such notice shall specify the particulars of such event and the record date and the effective date for such event. Such notice shall be given not less than fourteen (14) days prior to such applicable record date.
Section 5.8 Company to Reserve Shares. The Company agrees that it will reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Shares and solely for the purpose of issue upon exercise of conversion rights under the
Debentures as provided in this Article 5, the maximum number of Common Shares as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of the conversion rights under Section 5.1 inclusive of the obligations of the Company to pay interest on the Debentures in the form of Units.
Section 5.9 Cancellation of Converted Debentures. Subject to subsection 5.3(2), all Debentures with respect to which the conversion rights under the provisions of this Article 5 are exercised shall be immediately cancelled.
Section 5.10 Conversion of Legended Debentures. Upon the exercise of conversion rights under Debentures bearing a legend, the certificates representing the Common Shares issued upon exercise of the conversion rights under such Debentures and all certificates issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, shall bear such legend as is determined to be required for compliance with Applicable Laws, or the requirements of a securities regulatory authority, if any.

NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES FOR WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
THIS CERTIFICATE CERTIFIES THAT _______________________________or its registered assigns is the registered holder (the “Holder”) of the number of Warrants set forth above, each of which represents the right to purchase, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after November ___, 2018 (the “Initial Exercise Date”) one (1) fully paid and non-assessable common share (the “Common Share”) of NEWGIOCO GROUP, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), at the Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined), by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of Election to Exercise attached hereto duly executed and by paying in full the Exercise Price (the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants being referred to herein as (the “Warrant Shares”) at the principal office of the Company as set forth below. No Warrant may be exercised after 5:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time, on May ____, 2020 (the “Expiration Date”). All Warrants evidenced hereby shall thereafter become void.
At any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, subject to any applicable laws, rules or regulations restricting transferability and to any restriction on transferability that may appear on this Warrant Certificate, the Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant Certificate, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate at the principal office of the Company with the form of assignment set forth hereon duly executed. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant Certificate
or Warrant Certificates representing the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares will be issued in accordance with instructions in the form of assignment.
| 1. | Exercise of the Warrants |
(a) Cash Exercise. Subject to Section 1. (d), at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, the Holder shall be entitled to exercise some or all of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate and purchase an equal number of Common Shares upon surrender of this Certificate at the principal office of the Company, together with:
(i) the form of Election to Purchase annexed hereto duly executed; and
(ii) a certified check, bank draft or wire transfer of funds, payable at par, in United States currency, to or to the order of the Company, in the amount of the Exercise Price per Warrant (as hereinafter determined) multiplied by the number of Warrants being so converted.
The exercise price per Warrant to be exercised shall be at a price equal to US$0.50 (U.S. Fifty Cents) (the “Exercise Price”).
(b) Cashless Exercise. Subject to Section 1. (d), if and only if at any time after the Initial Exercise Date, there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = the last VWAP immediately preceding the time of delivery of the Form of Election of Purchase giving rise to the applicable “cashless exercise”, as set forth in the applicable Form of Election of Purchase (for the avoidance of doubt, the “last VWAP” will be the VWAP as calculated over the preceding five (5) Trading Days such that, in the event that this Warrant is exercised at a time that the Trading Market is open, the VWAP over the prior five (5) Trading Days shall be used in this calculation);
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares being exercised under this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrants being exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrant Shares. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 1(b).
“VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Shares are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Shares are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent
bid price per share of the Common Shares so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Shares as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the stockholders of a majority in interest of the securities of the Company then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
“Trading Market” means the stock exchange or market in the United States on which the Common Shares are listed or quoted.
“Trading Days” means a date on which a Trading Market is open for the conduct of trading.
(c) Partial Exercise. Upon the exercise of less than all of the Warrants to purchase the Common Shares evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, there shall be issued to the Holder a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the Warrants not exercised.
(d) Acceleration. If at any time after the Initial Exercise Date, there is an effective Registration Statement registering, or a current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder and the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares exceeds two hundred (200%) per cent of the Exercise Price for a period of twenty (20) trading days in a thirty (30) day period, the Corporation may accelerate the time in which to exercise the Warrants by giving at least ten (10) business days prior written notice to the Holder of such acceleration and the Holder may exercise the Warrants prior to the date specified in such notice of acceleration.
| 2. | Fractional Shares |
The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise of some or all of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate.
| 3. | Limitation |
This Warrant Certificate shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions, or to attend or receive any notice of meetings of stockholders or any other proceedings of the Company.
| 4. | Registration of Warrant Certificates |
The Company shall number and register the Warrant Certificates in a warrant register maintained by the Company as they are needed. The Company may deem and treat the registered holder(s) of the Warrant Certificates as the absolute owner(s) thereof for all purposes. Upon request by a Holder requesting such information for the purpose of obtaining a consent, waiver or other action of Holders, the Company will notify that Holder as to the identity and address of record of the other Holders.
| 5. | Transfer of Warrant Certificate and Warrant Shares |
| (1) | The Company shall from time to time register the transfer of any outstanding Warrant Certificates in the warrant register upon surrender thereof accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company duly executed by the Holder or Holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney. Upon any such registration of transfer, the Company shall issue as promptly as practicable in any event within three (3) Business Days (as hereinafter defined) after receipt of such notice of transfer of a new Warrant Certificate to the transferee(s). As used in the Warrant Certificate, the term “Business Day” means any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or statutory holiday in the City of New York. |
| (2) | Warrant Certificates may be exchanged at the option of the Holder(s) thereof when surrendered to the Company at the address set forth herein for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and representing the right to purchase in the aggregate a like number of Warrant Shares; provided that the Company shall not be required to issue any Warrant Certificates representing any fractional Warrant Shares. |
| (3) | The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of new Warrant Certificates, including, without limitation, any transfer or stamp taxes. |
| 6. | Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant Certificates |
If any Warrant Certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue, execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of such mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for such lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate representing an equivalent number of Warrants or Warrant Shares. If required by the Company, the Holder of the mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate must provide an affidavit of loss and an indemnity reasonably sufficient to protect the Company from any loss which it may suffer if the Warrant Certificate is replaced. Any new Warrant Certificate shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by any person.
| 7. | Cancellation of Warrant Certificates |
Any Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of Warrants or for exchange or transfer, or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, shall be cancelled and shall not be reissued by the Company; and, except as provided in Section 1 with respect to the exercise of less than all of the Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate or in Section 5 with respect to an exchange or transfer, no Warrant Certificate shall be issued hereunder in lieu of such cancelled Warrant Certificate. Any Warrant Certificate so cancelled shall be destroyed by the Company.
| 8. | Issuance of Common Shares |
As promptly as practicable after the date on which part or all of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate are exercised (the “Date of Exercise”) of any Warrants and in any event within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Election to Exercise, the Company shall issue, or cause its transfer agent to issue, a certificate or certificates for the number of non-fractional Warrant Shares (the “Common Share Certificate”) or to transfer by electronic delivery of Warrant Shares through the DTC-DWAC system, registered in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Election to Exercise. All Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of any Warrants shall be legally and validly authorized and issued and outstanding, fully paid, non-assessable, free of pre-emptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests in respect of the issuance thereof. Each person in whose name any such Common Share Certificate is issued shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the holder of record of the Common Shares represented thereby on the Date of the Exercise of the Warrants resulting in the issuance of such shares, irrespective of the date of issuance or delivery of such Common Share Certificate.
The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of new Common Share Certificates, including, without limitation, any transfer or stamp taxes.
| 9. | Reservation of Common Shares; Listing |
The Company shall reserve and keep available, free from pre-emptive rights, for issuance upon the exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of its authorized but unissued Common Shares which may then be issuable upon the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants.
| 10. | No Impairment |
The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, amalgamation, combination, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid, or seek to avoid the observation or performance of any of the terms of the Warrants, the Warrant Certificates or this Certificate, 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 the Holders against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under the Warrants. In case any securities other than the Common Shares (“Other Securities”) shall be issued or sold, or shall become subject to issue upon the conversion or exchange of any stock (or Other Securities) of the Company (or any other issuer of Other Securities) or to subscription, purchase or other acquisition pursuant to any rights or options granted by the Company (or such other issuer or Person), for a consideration per share of Other Security such as to dilute the purchase rights evidenced by the Warrants, the computations, adjustments and readjustments provided for in Section 11 with respect to the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be made as nearly as possible in the manner so provided and applied so as to protect the Holders against the effect of such dilution.
| 11. | Adjustment of Exercise Price |
Subject to the provisions of this Section 11, the Exercise Price in effect from time to time shall be subject to adjustment, as follows:
| (1) | In the event that the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on the outstanding Common Shares in additional Common Shares, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, or (iii) consolidate, combine or reclassify the outstanding Common Shares into a fewer number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately after the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, consolidation, combination or reclassification, as the case may be, shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately before such dividend, distribution, subdivision, consolidation, combination or reclassification, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such dividend, distribution, subdivision, consolidation, combination or reclassification. Any Common Shares issuable in payment of a dividend shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the record date or other applicable date cited in Sections 11(2) or 11(3) for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under Sections 11(2) or 11(3). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event specified above shall occur. |
| (2) | In the event that the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities to all or substantially all holders of its Common Shares entitling them (for a period which, by its express terms, expires within forty-five (45) days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share less than the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on such record date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately thereafter so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a |
fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the maximum number of Common Shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so offered would purchase at the Fair Market Value per share, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities are not so issued or expire unexercised, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such unissued or unexercised rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities had not been issuable. As used in this Warrant Certificate, the term “Fair Market Value” means the price at which a buyer and seller would transfer a Common Share both being fully informed of all relevant information and neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell, as the case may be and, for the purposes of this Section 11(2), shall, at the request of a Holder, be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith and on a reasonable basis.
| (3) | In the event that the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all holders of Common Shares (i) of shares of any class other than its Common Shares or (ii) of the evidence of its indebtedness or (iii) of assets or (iv) of rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately thereafter shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Fair Market Value per share on such record date, less the aggregate fair market value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors of said shares or evidences of indebtedness or assets or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities as distributed, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Fair Market Value per share. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; provided, however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be less than zero. In the event that such distribution is not so made, or that such distribution, by its express terms, is intended to be made, and is in fact made, to all holders of Warrant Shares upon exercise of their respective Warrants, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. |
| 12. | No Adjustment to Exercise Price |
No adjustment in the Exercise Price in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 need be made unless such adjustment would amount to a change of at least one (1.0%) per cent in such Exercise Price, provided, however, that the amount by which any adjustment is not made by reason of the provisions of this Section 12 shall be carried forward and taken into account at the time of any subsequent adjustment in the Exercise Price.
| 13. | Adjustment of Number of Shares |
Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 11, each Warrant shall thereupon evidence the right to purchase that number of Warrant Shares (calculated to the nearest hundredth of a share) obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment upon exercise of the Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
| 14. | Reorganizations |
In the event of any capital reorganization, other than in the cases referred to in Section 11(1), or the consolidation, amalgamation, merger or other combination of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation, amalgamation, merger or other combination in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or the conversion of such outstanding Common Shares into shares of other stock or other securities or property), or the sale, transfer or conveyance of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety (collectively such actions being hereinafter referred to as “Reorganizations”), there shall thereafter be deliverable upon exercise of any Warrant (in lieu of the number of Warrant Shares theretofore deliverable) the number of shares of stock or other securities of property to which a holder of the number of Warrant Shares which would otherwise have been deliverable upon the exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled upon such Reorganization if such Warrant had been exercised in full immediately prior to such Reorganization. In the event of any Reorganization, appropriate adjustment, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests of Holders so that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable upon exercise of Warrants. Any such adjustment shall be made by and set forth in a supplemental agreement prepared by the Company or any successor thereto, between the Company and any successor thereto, and shall for all purposes hereof conclusively be deemed to be an appropriate adjustment. The Company shall not effect any such Reorganization, unless upon or prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation, or if the Company shall be the surviving corporation in any such Reorganization and is not the issuer of the shares of stock or other securities or property to be delivered to holders of Common Shares outstanding at the effective time thereof, then such issuer, shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to the Holder of any Warrant Certificate such shares of stock, securities, cash or other property as such holder shall be entitled to purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions.
| 15. | Notice of Certain Actions |
In the event the Company shall (a) declare any dividend payable in stock to the holders of its Common Shares or make any other distribution in property other than cash to the holders of its Common Shares, (b) offer to the holders of its Common Shares rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class of stock or any other rights or options, or (c) effect any reclassification of its Common Shares (other than a reclassification involving merely the subdivision or combination of outstanding Common Shares) or any capital reorganization or any consolidation, amalgamation, merger or other combination (other than a consolidation, amalgamation, merger or other combination in which no distribution of securities or other property is made to holders of Common Shares) or any sale, transfer or other disposition of its property, assets and business substantially as an entirety, or the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of in the Company; then, in each such case, the Company shall cause notice of such proposed action to be mailed to each Holder at least thirty (30) days prior to such action. Such notice shall specify the date on which the books of the Company shall close, or a record be taken, for determining holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such stock dividend or other distribution or such rights or options, or the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, combination, merger, sale, transfer, other disposition, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or exchange shall take place or commence, as the case may be, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of Common Shares shall be entitled to receive securities or other property deliverable upon such action, if any such date has been fixed. Such notice shall be mailed in the case of any action covered by paragraph (a) and (b) of this Section 15, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Common Shares for purposes of receiving such payment or offer, and in the case of any action covered by this paragraph (c), at least ten (10) days prior to the record date to determine holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such securities or other property.
| 16. | Certificate of Adjustment |
The Company shall perform any computations and determine any adjustments required to be made under this Certificate (the “Adjustment”) and shall cause an independent nationally recognized firm of chartered accountants selected by the Company to verify each Adjustment. As promptly as practicable after determining any Adjustment, and upon receipt of the aforementioned verification, the Company shall prepare a certificate executed by the President of the Company setting forth such Adjustment and mail such certificate to each Holder (an “Adjustment Notice”). The Adjustment Notice shall include in reasonable detail (a) the events precipitating the Adjustment, (b) the computations relating to such Adjustment, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares or the securities or other property purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant after giving effect to such Adjustment. In the event that the Holders of Warrants entitling such Holders to purchase a majority of the Warrant Shares subject to purchase upon exercise of Warrants at the time outstanding (the “Required Interest”) shall disagree with any Adjustment, the Required Interest shall give notice thereof (the “Dispute Notice”) to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the Adjustment Notice. Upon receipt of the Dispute Notice, the Company shall promptly engage an independent nationally recognized firm of chartered accountants acceptable to the Required Interest to make an independent determination of such disputed Adjustment (the “Independent Adjustment”). The Independent Adjustment shall be final and binding on the Company and all Holders. If the disputed Adjustment and the Independent Adjustment differ by an amount of three (3%) per cent or less of the value of the disputed Adjustment, then the costs of conducting the independent determination shall be borne by the Required Interest (pro rata, in accordance with the number of Warrants held by each, with each subject Holder jointly and severally liable); if the disputed Adjustment and the Independent Adjustment differ by more than three (3%) per cent of the disputed Adjustment, then the costs of conducting the independent determination shall be borne entirely by the Company; provided that in each case costs separately incurred by the Company and any Holders shall be separately borne by them.
| 17. | Warrant Certificate Amendments |
Irrespective of any adjustments pursuant to this Section 17, Warrant Certificates theretofore or thereafter issued need not be amended or replaced, but certificates thereafter issued shall bear an appropriate legend or other notice of any adjustments; provided the Company may, at its option, issue new Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants in such form as may be approved by its Board of Directors to reflect any adjustment in the Exercise Price and number of Warrant shares purchasable under the Warrants.
| 18. | Fractional Shares |
The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of any Warrant to issue fractional Warrant Shares which may result from adjustments in accordance with this Section 18 to the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares purchasable under each Warrant. If more than one Warrant is exercised at one time by the same Holder, the number of Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be computed based on the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of such Warrants.
| 19. | Payment of Taxes and Charges |
The Company will pay all taxes (other than income taxes or other similar taxes personal to the Holders, including without limitation, non-resident withholding taxes) and other government charges payable in connection with the issuance or delivery or transfer of the Warrants and the initial issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price.
| 20. | Changes to Agreement |
The Company, when authorized by its Board of Directors, with the written consent of Holders of Warrants entitling such Holders to purchase a majority of the Warrant Shares subject to purchase upon exercise of the Warrants outstanding at such time, may amend or supplement this Certificate, except that no amendment
which (i) increases the Exercise Price or reduces the number of Warrant Shares or otherwise economically impairs the value of the Warrants or (ii) amends the provisions of Sections 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 shall be enforceable against a Holder who has not consented in writing to such amendment.
| 21. | Assignment |
All the covenants and provisions of this Certificate by or for the benefit of the Company or the Holders shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.
| 22. | Successor to Company |
In the event that the Company consolidates, amalgamates, merges or otherwise combines with or into any other corporation or sells, transfers or otherwise conveys its property, assets and business substantially as an entirety to a successor corporation or entity, the Company shall prior to such events becoming effective, have such successor corporation or other entity assume by a written instrument each and every undertaking covenant and condition of this Certificate to be performed and observed by the Company, and such successor corporation or other entity shall be deemed, upon the closing of such merger, amalgamation, combination, consolidation, conveyance or sale, to have so assumed such liabilities.
