Date
of Issuance: April 18,
2008
|
Stratos
Renewables Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”),
hereby certifies that, for value received, ____________________ or its
registered assigns (the “Holder”),
is
entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of 67,857 shares of common
stock, $.001 par value (the “Common
Stock”),
of
the Company (each such share, a “Warrant
Share”
and
all
such shares, the “Warrant
Shares”)
at an
exercise price equal to $0.75 per share (as adjusted from time to time as
provided in Section
8)
(the
“Exercise
Price”),
at
any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and through and
including April 18, 2013 (the “Expiration
Date”),
and
subject to the following terms and conditions.
1. Registration
of Warrant.
The
Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”),
in
the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem
and
treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for
the
purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all
other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
1
2. Registration
of Transfers.
The
Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the
Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment
attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address
specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new Warrant to
purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such
new
Warrant, a “New
Warrant”),
evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the
transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant
not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The
acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the
acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder
of a Warrant. Warrants and Warrant Shares may only be disposed of in compliance
with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of
Warrant Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement,
to
the Company, to an Affiliate of a Holder or in connection with a bona pledge
as
contemplated in this Section 2, the Company may require the transferor thereof
to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor,
the
form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under
the Securities Act. The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Holder may from
time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement or grant a security
interest in some or all of the Warrant and Warrant Shares and, if required
under
the terms of such arrangement, the Holder may transfer pledged or secured
Warrant and Warrant Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge
or
transfer is not subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of
the
pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith.
Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge.
3. Exercise
and Duration of Warrants.
This
Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder, in whole or in part,
at
any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including
the
Expiration Date. At 5:00 p.m., Las Vegas time on the Expiration Date, the
portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void
and
of no value.
4. Delivery
of Warrant Shares.
Upon
delivery of the Form of Election to Purchase to the Company (with the attached
Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its address for notice set forth in Section
11
and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant
Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder the Company shall promptly
issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable
upon such exercise with the appropriate legend. Any Person so designated by
the
Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record
of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant. As used
in
this Agreement, a “Date
of Exercise”
means
the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Company (i) the Form
of
Election to Purchase attached hereto (with the Warrant Exercise Log attached
to
it), appropriately completed and duly signed and (ii) payment of the Exercise
Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be
purchased.
5. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses.
Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise
of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes
and
expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company
shall
not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants
in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for
all
other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this
Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
2
6. Replacement
of Warrant.
If this
Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or
cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but
only
upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.
Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with
such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable
third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.
7. Reservation
of Warrant Shares.
The
Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out
of
the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common
Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which
are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant,
free
from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other
than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of
Section
8).
The
Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall,
upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance
with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid
and
nonassessable.
8. Certain
Adjustments.
The
Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this
Section
8.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Splits.
If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock
dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class
of
capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii)
combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction
of
which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any
adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause
(ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the
effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an
adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise Price
is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Exercise Price shall
be
adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
3
(b) Fundamental
Transactions.
If, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (1) the Company effects any merger
or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (2) the Company
effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series
of
related transactions, (3) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities,
cash or property, or (4) the Company effects any reclassification 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
(in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”),
then
the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this
Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would
have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full
of this Warrant (the “Alternate
Consideration”).
For
purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall
be
appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the
amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common
Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the
Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the
securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it
receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. At the Holder’s option and request, any successor to the Company or
surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall, either (1) issue to
the
Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent
with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the
Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof,
or (2) purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in
cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective
date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes value of the
remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request.
The
terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected
shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply
with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and insuring that the Warrant (or
any
such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent
transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
(c) Number
of Warrant Shares.
Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs
(a) or (b) of this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted proportionately, so that after
such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted
number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price
in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment for the number of Warrant Shares
which would have been issuable upon exercise hereof immediately prior to such
adjustment.
4
(d) Adjustment
of Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common.
In the
event the Company shall issue Additional Shares of Common (as defined in the
Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation, Powers, Preferences and Rights
of Series A Preferred Stock) without consideration or for a consideration per
share less than the Exercise Price in effect on the date of and immediately
prior to such issue, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced, concurrently
with
such issue, to the consideration per share received by the Company for such
Additional Shares of Common.
(e) Calculations.
All
calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or
for
the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be
considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(f) Notice
of Adjustments.
Upon
the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section
8,
the
Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance
with
the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such
adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted
number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise
of
this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such
adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.
Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such
certificate to the Holder.
(g) Notice
of Corporate Events.
If the
Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities
or
other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation
any
granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock
of
the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any
agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental
Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to
the
Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such
transaction, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record
or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order
to
participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will
take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given
the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as
to
participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however,
that
the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be described in such
notice.
9. Payment
of Exercise Price.
The
Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one of the following manners:
(a) Cash
Exercise.
The
Holder may deliver cash, certified or official bank check or checks or other
immediately available funds; or
5
(b) Cashless
Exercise.
The
Holder may surrender this Warrant to the Company together with a notice of
cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the
number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
X
= Y
[(A-B)/A] where:
X
= the
number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
Y
= the
number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being
exercised.
A
= the
average of the closing prices for Common Stock for the five Trading Days
immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.
B
= the
Exercise Price.
10. No
Fractional Shares.
No
fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any
exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would,
otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such
fraction multiplied by the closing price of one Warrant Share on the date of
exercise.
11. Notices.
Any and
all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without
limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given

or
