Agreement
Now, Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Execution of Definitive Agreement. In the event the Company executes a definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) pursuant to which (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions agrees to effect any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person (excluding a merger effected solely to change the Company’s name or domiciliation), (ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, agrees to effect any sale, lease, exclusive license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s 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) will be effected 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 more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock or more than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (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, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions agrees to consummate a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or more than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, in each of cases (i) through (v), other than a combination (including by way of a reverse stock split) of the Company’s outstanding shares of capital stock into a smaller number of shares, the Company shall notify the Warrant Holder of such Definitive Agreement in writing (the “Notice”) on the date such Definitive Agreement is executed by the Company (the “Execution Date”). Within one (1) Business Day of the Warrant Holder’s receipt of the Notice, the Warrant Holder shall provide to the Company a written certification, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, certifying as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants held by the Warrant Holder as of the Execution Date (the “Certification”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Notice pursuant to this Section 1, effective as of the Execution Date, the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive the consideration as further detailed in this Agreement.
2. Exchange of Series A Warrants. Effective as of the Execution Date, the Company shall, in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, exchange the Series A Warrants then-held by the Warrant Holder for a new Series A-1 Common Stock Purchase Warrant, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “New Warrant”), to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the product of 110% multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that are then-exercisable pursuant to the Series A Warrants held by the Warrant Holder (if any), as indicated in the Certification (rounded up to the nearest whole share). Within two (2) Trading Days following the date the Warrant Holder delivers the Certification, the Company shall deliver the original New Warrant to the Warrant Holder to the address designated by the Warrant Holder to the Company in writing, and the Warrant Holder shall deliver its original Series A Warrants to the Company for cancellation as soon as practicable. For avoidance of doubt, if the Series A Warrants are no longer outstanding or there are otherwise no shares exercisable under the Series A Warrants as of the date of entry into the Definitive Agreement, then no New Warrant shall be issued pursuant to this Section 2.
3. Repurchase of Series B Warrants. No later than two Business Days following the date hereof, the Company shall pay to the Warrant Holder a cash payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Warrant Holder to the Company in writing equal to $1,250,000.00 (the “Series B Warrant Payment Amount”), in consideration for the Company’s repurchase of the Series B Warrants in full, and the Warrant Holder shall surrender its original Series B Warrants to the Company for cancellation as soon as practicable.
4. Non-Transferability of Warrants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4 of the Warrants, from and after the date of this Agreement, the Warrant Holder hereby agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell (including any short sale), pledge, hypothecate, establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, purchase any option or contract to sell, sell any option, right, warrant or contract to purchase, lend, or otherwise encumber, dispose of or transfer, or grant any rights with respect to, any of the Warrants. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4 shall be construed as a limitation on the Warrant Holder’s ability to exercise any of the Warrants, and the Warrant Holder shall continue to have all rights to exercise any of the Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof.
