If any Proceeding is filed or instituted making a claim against any Indemnified Party with respect to a matter subject to indemnity hereunder, notice thereof shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable; however, the failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent such Indemnified Party is actually prejudiced by such failure (to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). After receipt of such a notice of a Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Proceeding with counsel of its choice satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, unless the nature of the claim creates an ethical conflict or otherwise makes it inadvisable for the same counsel to represent the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, so long as (a) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within 30 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the claim or Proceeding that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Claim or raised in the Proceeding, (b) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Proceeding and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (c) the Proceeding involves only a claim for money damages and no other relief binding the Indemnified Party, and (d) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Proceeding actively and diligently. The Indemnifying Party shall not compromise or settle such Proceeding without the written consent of the Indemnified Party not to be unreasonably withheld. In all other cases the Indemnified Party may defend the claim or Proceeding with counsel of its choosing at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of any such Proceeding defended by the Indemnifying Party and any appeal arising therefrom. The parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with any defense in any notifications to insurers. If the Indemnifying Party fails to promptly and diligently assume the defense of such Proceeding after receipt of notice hereunder, the Indemnified Party against which such Claim has been asserted shall (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Proceeding with counsel of its own choosing at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate therein at its own cost.

20 |
(c) If Purchaser shall have received within the applicable Response Period a Company’s Objection Certificate contesting the amount claimed with respect to any Claim specified in the Purchaser Claim Notice, the Disbursement Offset Amount shall be reduced by the amount equal to the portion of the Indemnification Amount objected to in the applicable Company’s Objection Certificate, except in accordance with written instructions executed by each of an authorized officer of Purchaser and Company.

Net Xxxx.xxx, Inc.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
No. W-1 | March 11, 2014 |
Void After March 11, 2015
This Certifies That, for value received, Telestrata LLC, with its principal office at 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, or assigns (the “Holder” or “Purchaser”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase at the Exercise Price (defined below) from Net Xxxx.xxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its principal office at 0000 X.X. 000xx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 (the “Company”), a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Common Stock of the Company on the date that this Warrant is exercised by Holder (the “Common Stock”), as provided herein.
This Warrant (“Warrant”) is the Warrant referred to in and is executed and delivered in connection with that certain Restricted Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2014 and executed by the Company and the Holder, among others (as the same may from time to time be amended, modified or supplemented or restated, the “Purchase Agreement”). Additional rights and obligations of the Holder are set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
1. Definitions. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
“Exercise Period” shall mean the time period commencing with the date of this Warrant and ending one year later, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 5.2.
“Exercise Price” shall mean $0 per share.
“Exercise Shares” shall mean the shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
C-1 |
2. Exercise of Warrant.
2.1 Exercise. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period. To exercise this Warrant, the Holder shall deliver to the Company the following:
(a) An executed notice of exercise in the form attached hereto (a “Notice of Exercise”); and
(b) This Warrant.
2.3 Issuance of Certificates. Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates, shall be issued and delivered to the Holder within five (5) business days of the receipt of the executed Notice of Exercise and this Warrant. In the event that this Warrant is being exercised for less than all of the then current number of Exercise Shares purchasable hereunder, the Company shall, concurrently with the issuance by the Company of the number of Exercise Shares for which this Warrant is then being exercised, issue a new Warrant, in substantially the form hereof, exercisable for the remaining number of Exercise Shares purchasable hereunder.
The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
3. Covenants of the Company.
3.1. Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
3.2. No Impairment. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company will not, by amendment of 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 to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.
C-2 |
3.3. Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified herein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.
3.4. Notice of Expiration. If this Warrant has not been fully exercised on or before the date thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Exercise Period, the Company shall thereafter provide Holder with at least twenty (20) days advance written notice of the date on which this Warrant is to expire. If the Company fails to provide such notice, the Exercise Period shall be extended until the date thirty (30) days after the date said notice is provided to Holder.
4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Holder.
4.1. Acquisition of Warrant for Personal Account. The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant solely for its account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or distribution of said Warrant or any part thereof, other than potential transfers between affiliates (including affiliated funds). The Holder also represents that the entire legal and beneficial interests of the Warrant and Exercise Shares the Holder is acquiring is being acquired for, and will be held for, its account only.
4.2. Securities Are Not Registered.
(a) The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) on the basis that no distribution or public offering of the stock of the Company is to be effected. The Holder realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder has a present intention of acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The Holder has no such present intention, other than potential transfers between affiliates (including affiliated funds).
(b) The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
(c) The Holder is aware that neither the Warrant nor the Exercise Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Act unless certain conditions are met, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations. Holder is aware that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company presently has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future.
C-3 |
4.3. Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares.
(a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:
(i) The Company shall have received a letter secured by the Holder from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that no action will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the proposed disposition; or
(ii) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or
(iii) The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement briefly describing the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, together with a written opinion of such holders counsel, if requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state law then in effect); provided, however, that such statement will not be required if the disposition is permitted under Rule 144 of the Act.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Holder may assign this Warrant and the Exercise Shares to (i) any partner or retired partner of the Holder if Holder is a partnership, (ii) any member or former member of the Holder if Holder is a limited liability company, (iii) any affiliate, including affiliated funds or (iv) any family member or trust for the benefit of the Holder if the Holder is an individual; provided that the Company is given written notice thereof.
(c) The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
(d) The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
C-4 |
5. Acquisition. Upon the written request of the Company, Holder agrees that, in the event of an Acquisition, either (a) Holder shall exercise its purchase right under this Warrant and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition or (b) if Holder elects not to exercise the Warrant, this Warrant will expire upon the consummation of such Acquisition. The Company shall provide the Holder with written notice of its request relating to the foregoing (together with such reasonable information as the Holder may request in connection with such contemplated Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than ten (10) days prior to the closing of the proposed Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, "Acquisition" means any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization; (b) any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s voting power is transferred or (c) a sale, lease, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; provided that an “Acquisition” shall not include (i) any consolidation or merger effected exclusively to change the domicile of the Company, or (ii) any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Company or indebtedness of the Company is cancelled or converted or a combination thereof.
6. Fractional Shares. No fractional share shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.
7. Stockholder Rights. This Warrant shall entitle the Holder to the same voting rights as a stockholder of the Company as though the Exercise Shares were actually held by the Holder at the time of any Company stockholder vote.
8. Transfer of Warrant. Subject to applicable laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Holder.
9. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
C-5 |
10. Notices, etc. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company at the address listed on the signature page and to Holder at the address listed on the first page of this Warrant or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.
11. Amendment. Any term of this Warrant may be amended or waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
12. Acceptance. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
