A NEVADA CORPORATION
12% SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Principal Amount $50,000 Issue Date May 20, 2016
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Bollente Companies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of D. Xxxx Xxxxxx Investment Services Trust in immediately payable funds, the principal sum of $50,000. The principal hereof and any unpaid accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable on May 20, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”).
This Note (the “Note”) is one of a series of identical twelve percent (12%) senior secured convertible promissory note and security agreements (the “Promissory Notes”) issued or to be issued as part of an Offering being conducted by the Company in an aggregate principal amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000). The Promissory Notes rank equally and ratably without priority over one another.
This Note has been issued pursuant to a Subscription Agreement of even date herewith between the Company and the Noteholder (the “Subscription Agreement”), which contains representations and warranties and additional covenants of the Company with respect to the Note. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Subscription Agreement. THE PROVISIONS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.
1. PAYMENTS. The Company hereby promises to pay to the Noteholder, in lawful money of the United States of America, and in immediately payable funds, the principal sum of $50,000. The principal hereof and any unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date (unless such payment date is accelerated as provided in Section 4 hereof). Payment of all amounts due hereunder shall be made at the address of the Noteholder provided for in the Subscription Agreement. The Company further promises to pay simple interest at the rate of 12% per annum (“Interest”) on the outstanding principal balance hereof, such interest to be payable semi-annually and at the Maturity Date (prorated for any partial month).
2. CONVERSION. At any time prior to the payment in full of this Note, the outstanding principal amount of this Note, along with all accrued but unpaid Interest hereunder (the “Outstanding Balance”) may be converted by one of the following events:
(a) The Outstanding Balance is convertible at the option of the holder into Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. In order to convert the Outstanding Balance, Noteholder shall deliver to the Company a written Election to Convert, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. As soon as reasonably practicable upon receipt of the written Election to Convert, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the Noteholder, and in such name or names as the Noteholder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the full number of Note Shares so purchased upon conversion of the Note. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such securities as of the date of delivery of the Election to Convert, notwithstanding that the certificate or certificates representing such securities shall not actually have been delivered or that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed.
3. SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS. This Note is senior in the right of payment to all other indebtedness of the Company. For purposes of this Note, indebtedness shall mean and include the aggregate amount of, without duplication, (i) all obligations for borrowed money, (ii) all obligations evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, (iii) all obligations to pay the deferred purchase price of property or services (other than accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals), (iv) all obligations with respect to capital leases, (v) all guaranty obligations, and (vi) all reimbursement and any other payment obligations, contingent or otherwise, in respect of letters of credit.
Additionally, for the term of this Note the Company shall not issue any additional senior or parity debt or pay any shareholder cash dividends unless otherwise agreed to by the Noteholder.
4. SECURITY INTEREST. The Company hereby grants the Noteholder a security interest in all of the Company’s assets and property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, wherever located, and whether now or hereafter existing or arising (collectively, the “Collateral”), including, without limitation, all cash, equipment, inventory, accounts, notes, contracts, general intangibles and proceeds of any and all of the Collateral. The security interest created hereunder is pari passu with any other holder(s) of Notes. This security interest is granted to secure the debt evidenced by this note and agreement. The Company will prepare and file a UCC financing statement in the state of Nevada, or whatever documents are necessary to perfect Noteholder’s security interest.
5. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default:
(a) The non-payment, when due, of any principal or interest pursuant to this Note;
(b) The material breach of any representation or warranty in this Note or in the Subscription Agreement. In the event the Noteholder becomes aware of a breach of this Section 5(b), the Noteholder shall notify the Company in writing of such breach and the Company shall have ten days notice to effect a cure of such breach;
(c) The material breach of any covenant or undertaking in this Note or in the Subscription Agreement, not otherwise provided for in this Section 5. In the event the Noteholder becomes aware of a breach of this Section 5(c), the Noteholder shall notify the Company in writing of such breach and the Company shall have ten days notice to effect a cure of such breach;
(d) A default shall occur in the payment when due (subject to any applicable grace period), whether by acceleration or otherwise, of any indebtedness of the Company or an event of default or similar event shall occur with respect to such indebtedness, if the effect of such default or event (subject to any required notice and any applicable grace period) would be to accelerate the maturity of any such indebtedness or to permit the holder or holders of such indebtedness to cause such indebtedness to become due and payable prior to its express maturity;
(e) The commencement by the Company of any voluntary proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment or debt, receivership, dissolution, or liquidation law or statute or any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect; or the adjudication of the Company as insolvent or bankrupt by a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; or the petition or application by the Company for, acquiescence in, or consent by the Company to, the appointment of any receiver or trustee for the Company or for all or a substantial part of the property of the Company; or the assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors; or the written admission of the Company of its inability to pay its debts as they mature; or
(f) The commencement against the Company of any proceeding relating to the Company under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, adjustment of debt, receivership, dissolution or liquidation law or statute or any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect, provided, however, that the commencement of such a proceeding shall not constitute an Event of Default unless the Company consents to the same or admits in writing the material allegations of same, or said proceeding shall remain undismissed for 30 days; or the issuance of any order, judgment or decree for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for the Company or for all or a substantial part of the property of the Company, which order, judgment or decree remains undismissed for 30 days; or a warrant of attachment, execution, or similar process shall be issued against any substantial part of the property of the Company.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Noteholder may, by written notice to the Company, declare all or any portion of the unpaid principal amount due to Noteholder, together with all accrued interest thereon, immediately due and payable.
6. NOTICES. Any notice, request, instruction, or other document required by the terms of this Note, or deemed by any of the Parties hereto to be desirable, to be given to any other Party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given by personal delivery, overnight delivery, mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, with return receipt requested, or sent by facsimile transmission to the addresses of the Parties set forth below each Party’s signature on the Subscription Agreement. The persons and addresses set forth below each Party’s signature on the Subscription Agreement may be changed from time to time by a notice sent as aforesaid.

8. GOVERNING LAW. This Note shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of Arizona applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely therein, without giving effect to the rules and conflicts of law.
9. CONFORMITY WITH LAW. It is the intention of the Company and of the Noteholder to conform strictly to applicable usury and similar laws. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, it is agreed that the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under applicable usury and similar laws that are contract for, chargeable or receivable under or in respect of this Note, shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by such laws, and any excess, whether occasioned by acceleration or maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall be canceled automatically, and if theretofore paid, shall be either refunded to the Company or credited on the principal amount of this Note.

The Investor hereby represents and warrants that:
(a) Investor acknowledges that the Securities are “restricted securities” (as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), that the Securities will include the restrictive legend set forth in Section 1.02 of the Subscription Agreement, and, except as otherwise set forth in the Subscription Agreement, that the Securities cannot be sold unless registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and qualified by appropriate state securities regulators, or unless Investor otherwise complies with an exemption from such registration and qualification (including, without limitation, compliance with Rule 144).
(b) Investor has adequate means of providing for current needs and contingencies, has no need for liquidity in the investment, and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities.

WARRANT AGREEMENT
To Purchase Shares of Common Stock
|
No. 02
|
Issue Date: May 20, 2016
|
THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, D. Xxxx Xxxxxx Investment Services Trust (the “Holder”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof, to subscribe for and purchase from, BOLLENTE COMPANIES, INC., a California corporation (the “Company”), 50,000 of the fully paid non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $1.50 per share, provided that such right will terminate, if not terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions hereof, at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the fifth year anniversary of the issuance of this Warrant (the “Expiration Date”). The purchase price and the number of shares for which this warrant (the “Warrant”) is exercisable are subject to adjustment, as provided herein. The Warrants being sold and issued pursuant to this agreement shall be evidenced by the warrant certificate attached as Annex A hereto (the “Warrant Certificate”). This Warrant was issued in connection with a Subscription Agreement of even date herewith between the Company and Holder (the “Subscription Agreement”) for the sale of (i) a note bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum, on the principal amount of $50,000 (the “Note”), and (ii) this Warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, and is subject to the terms of the Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that any that any conflict between the provisions of this Warrant and the Subscription Agreement, the provisions of this Warrant shall control. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein will have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Subscription Agreement.
As used herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise requires, have the following respective meanings:
(a) The term “Company” shall include Bollente Companies, Inc., and any entity which shall succeed or assume the obligations of Bollente Companies, Inc., hereunder.
(b) The term “Warrant Shares” includes (i) the Company’s common stock and (ii) any other securities into which or for which any of the Common Stock may be converted or exchanged pursuant to a plan of recapitalization, reorganization, merger, sale of assets or otherwise.
(c) The term “Other Securities” refers to any stock (other than Common Stock) and other securities of the Company or any other person (corporate or otherwise) which the holder of the Warrant at any time shall be entitled to receive, or shall have received, on the exercise of the Warrant, in lieu of or in addition to Common Stock, or which at any time shall be issuable or shall have been issued in exchange for or in replacement of Common Stock or Other Securities.
(d) The term “Exercise Price” shall be $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof.
(e) The “Fair Market Value” of one share shall be defined as the average closing price of the common stock for the ten trading days prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant (the “Average Closing Price”), as reported by any over-the-counter electronic quotation system; provided, however, that if the common stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the Fair Market Value shall be the Average Closing Price on such exchange for the ten trading days prior to the date of exercise of the Warrant. If the shares of common stock are/were not traded during the ten trading days prior to the date of the exercise, then the closing price for the last publicly traded day shall be deemed to be the closing price for any and all (if applicable) days during such ten trading day period. If the shares of Common Stock are/were not traded for longer than ten trading days prior to the date of the exercise, of if the shares were never publicly traded prior to the date of the exercise, the Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Number of Shares Issuable upon Exercise.
|
Unless sooner terminated in accordance herewith, from and after the date hereof through and including the Expiration Date, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, the number of Warrant Shares set forth on the first page of this Warrant, subject to adjustment pursuant hereto, by delivery of an original or fax copy of the exercise notice on the reverse side of the warrant certificate attached hereto as Annex A (the “Notice of Exercise”) along with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price. The company is obligated to provide ten business days written notice to the Holder of the expiration of the warrant by US mail at the Holder’s address of record and by email.
2. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the registered Holder hereof, in whole at any time or in part from time to time by delivery of the Notice of Exercise duly completed and executed at the office of the Company in Arizona (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder hereof at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company), and upon payment of the Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased (in the manner provided in Section 2(d) hereof); whereupon the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares so purchased; provided that the Company will place on each certificate a legend substantially the same as that appearing on this Warrant,
in addition to any legend required by any applicable state or federal law. If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company will issue to the Holder hereof a new Warrant upon the same terms as this Warrant but for the balance of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant remains exercisable. The Company agrees that upon exercise of this Warrant the Holder shall be deemed to be the record owner of the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid. This Warrant will be surrendered at the time of exercise or if lost, stolen, misplaced, or destroyed, the Holder will comply with Section 7 below.
(b) Certificates for Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid.
(c) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive rights, taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue which shall be paid by the Company in accordance with Section 4 below).
(d) In order to exercise this Warrant with respect to all or any part of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is at the time exercisable, Holder (or any other person or persons exercising the Warrant) must take the following actions:
(i) Execute and deliver to the Company a written notice of exercise stating the number of Shares being purchased (in whole shares only) and such other information set forth on the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Annex A; and
(ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares in one or more of the following forms:
(A) Cash, check, or wire transfer; or
(B) A promissory note payable to the Company, but only to the extent authorized by the Company.
The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant or to deliver Warrant Certificates which evidence fractional Warrant Shares. In the event that a fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 3, be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder exercising the Warrant an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Warrant Share.
4. Charges, Taxes, and Expenses.
Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof 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 of this Warrant, or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder of this Warrant; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder of this Warrant, the Company may require, as a condition thereto, that the transferee execute an appropriate investment representation as may be reasonably required by the Company.
5. No Rights as Shareholders.
This Warrant does not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a Shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.
6. Exchange and Registry of Warrant.
This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the registered Holder at the above-mentioned office or agency of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants aggregating the total Warrant Shares of the surrendered Warrant of like tenor and dated as of such exchange. The Company shall maintain at the above-mentioned office or agency a registry showing the name and address of the registered Holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange, transfer, or exercise, in accordance with its terms, at such office or agency of the Company, and the Company shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.
7. Loss, Theft, Destruction, or Mutilation of Warrant.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor (but with no additional rights or obligations) and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of this Warrant.
8. 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 be a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.
9. Cash Distributions.
No adjustment on account of cash dividends or interest on the Company’s Common Stock or Other Securities that may become purchasable hereunder will be made to the Exercise Price under this Warrant.
10. Consolidation, Merger, or Sale of the Company.
If the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger or transfer of assets which reclassifies or changes its outstanding Common Stock, the successor corporation (or corporation controlling the successor corporation or the Company, as the case may be) shall by operation of law assume the Company’s obligations under this Warrant. Upon consummation of such transaction, the Warrants shall automatically become exercisable for the kind and amount of securities, cash, or other assets which the holder of a Warrant would have owned immediately after the consolidation, merger, or transfer if the holder had exercised the Warrant immediately before the effective date of such transaction. As a condition to the consummation of such transaction, the Company shall arrange for the person or entity obligated to issue securities or deliver cash or other assets upon exercise of the Warrant to, concurrently with the consummation of such transaction, assume the Company’s obligations hereunder by executing an instrument so providing and further providing for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in this Section 10.
11. Adjustments for Stock Splits, Combinations, etc.
The number of shares and class of capital stock purchasable under this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 11.
(a) Adjustment for change in capital stock. If the Company:
(i) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock, in each case, in shares of its Common Stock;
(ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares;
(iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares;
(iv) makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its capital stock other than Common Stock; or
(v) issues by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock;
then the number and classes of shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised may receive the number and classes of shares of capital stock of the Company which such holder would have owned immediately following such action if such holder had exercised the Warrant immediately prior to such action.
For a dividend or distribution the adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the dividend or distribution. For a subdivision, combination, or reclassification, the adjustment shall become effective immediately after the effective date of the subdivision, combination, or reclassification.
If after an adjustment the Holder, upon exercise of a Warrant, may receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company shall in good faith determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between or among the classes of capital stock. After such allocation, that portion of the Exercise Price applicable to each share of each such class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Warrant. Notwithstanding the allocation of the Exercise Price between or among shares of capital stock as provided by this Section 11(a), a Warrant may only be exercised in full by payment of the entire Exercise Price currently in effect.
(b) 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 Section 11 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holders of this Warrant against impairment.
12. Certificate as to Adjustments.
In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of the Warrant and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 16 hereof).
13. Reservation of Stock Issuable on Exercise of Warrant.
The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.
14. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant.
Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered Holder hereof (a “Transferor”) with respect to any or all of the shares underlying this Warrant. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall include, without limitation, a legal opinion from the Transferor’s counsel that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws, the Company at its expense (but with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified (each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Warrant Shares called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor; and provided further, that upon any such transfer, the Company may require, as a condition thereto, that the Transferee execute an appropriate investment representation as may be reasonably required by the Company.
15. Rule 144 Rights.
The Company will provide any and all legal opinions required for the removal of the restrictive legend from any stock certificate(s) issued upon exercise of this Warrant under Rule 144, at the Company’s expense. The Company shall process any request for removal of the restrictive legend within ten business days. If the Company fails to process any legal request for removal of restrictive legends for more than ten business days after receipt of a written request to do so, the Company shall pay the Holder or stockholder, as applicable, a cash penalty of 1% per day of the Fair Market Value of the securities whose legends were requested to be removed.
16. Warrant Agent.
The Company may, by written notice to each Holder of a Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Warrant Shares (or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 2, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 14, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.
17. Notices, etc.

Any party from time to time may change its address, facsimile number or other information for the purpose of notices to that party by giving notice specifying such change to the other party hereto.
18. Notices of Record Date.
In case,
(a) The Company takes a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or to receive a dividend, distribution or any other rights;
(b) There is any capital reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation which does not constitute a sale of the Company; or
(c) There is a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company;
then, and in any such case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder, at least 20 business days prior to the date hereinafter specified, a notice stating the date on which (i) a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (ii) such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
19. Amendments and Supplements.
(a) The Company may from time to time supplement or amend this Warrant without the approval of any Holders in order to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision, or to make any other provisions in regard to matters or questions herein arising hereunder which the Company may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not materially adversely affect the interest of the Holder.

21. Certificates to Bear Language.
The Warrants and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof shall bear the following legend by which Holder shall be bound:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT IS AVAILABLE.
Certificates for Warrants or Warrant Shares without such legend shall be issued if such Warrants or Warrant Shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, or if the Company has received an opinion from counsel reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, that such legend is no longer required under the Act.
22. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

(b) If any action or proceeding is brought by the Company on the one hand or by the Holder on the other hand to enforce or continue any provision of this Warrant, the prevailing party’s costs and expenses, including its reasonable attorney’s fees, in connection with such action or proceeding shall be paid by the other party.
(c) In the event that any provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant.
(d) The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be executed by its officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.
