BONDS.COM GROUP, INC.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Date of Issuance: January 7, 2010
THIS IS TO CERTIFY that MBRO CAPITAL, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company, and its transferees, successors and assigns (the “Holder”),
for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, is entitled to purchase from BONDS.COM GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at the price of $0.375 per share (the “Exercise Price”), at any time after the date hereof (the “Commencement
Date”) and expiring on January 7, 2015 (the “Expiration Date”), Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) (the “Aggregate Number”) shares of the fully paid and nonassessable common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”),
of the Company (as such number may be adjusted as provided herein). Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Warrant, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and subject to the rights of the Company set forth in Section 8.03 of the Commercial Term Loan Agreement dated March 31, 2009 between the Company and the Holder, the Exercise Price shall automatically adjust to $0.0001 per share of Common Stock.
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Section 12 hereof unless otherwise defined herein.
SECTION 1. The Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.
(a) The Warrant. This Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) is issued under and pursuant to
the Commercial Term Loan Agreement. This Warrant and the rights and privileges of the Holder hereunder may be exercised by the Holder in whole or in part as provided herein; shall survive any termination of the Commercial Term Loan Agreement and the payment of the Notes; and, as more fully set forth in Sections 1(b) and 9 hereof, may be transferred (subject to applicable securities laws and regulations) by the Holder to any other Person or Persons at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part,
regardless of whether the Holder retains any or all rights under the Commercial Term Loan Agreement or the Notes.
(b) Transfer and Exchanges. The Company shall initially record this Warrant on a register to be maintained by the Company with its other stock books and, subject to Section 9
hereof, from time to time thereafter shall reflect the transfer of this Warrant on such register when surrendered for transfer in accordance with the terms hereof and properly endorsed, accompanied by appropriate instructions, and further accompanied by payment in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company, in United States currency, of an amount equal to any stamp or other tax or governmental charge or fee required to be paid in connection with the transfer thereof. Upon
any such transfer, a new warrant or warrants shall be issued to the transferee and the Holder (in the event the Warrant is only partially transferred) and the surrendered warrant shall be canceled. Each such transferee shall succeed to all of the rights of the Holder with respect to the Warrant being so transferred; provided, however,
that, in the event this Warrant is partially transferred, the Holder and such transferee shall hold rights in respect of this Warrant in proportion to their respective interests in this Warrant. This Warrant may be exchanged at the option of the Holder, when surrendered at the Principal Office, for another warrant or other warrants of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock.
SECTION 2. Exercise.
(a) Right to Exercise. At any time after the Commencement Date and on or before the Expiration Date, the Holder, in accordance with the terms hereof, may exercise this Warrant,
in whole at any time or in part from time to time, by delivering this Warrant to the Company during normal business hours on any Business Day at the Principal Office, together with the Election to Purchase, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof (the “Election to Purchase”), duly executed, and payment of the Exercise Price per share for the number
of shares to be purchased (the “Exercise Amount”), as specified in the Election to Purchase. If the Expiration Date is not a Business Day, then this Warrant may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
(b) Payment of Exercise Price. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made to the Company by any of the following means (or any combination of such means): (i) in cash or other
immediately available funds, (ii) by surrender to the Company of Notes in an aggregate amount (including principal and interest accrued thereon) equal to the Exercise Price, or (iii) as provided in Section 2(c). The amount of the Exercise Price to be paid shall equal the product of (A) the Exercise Amount multiplied by (B) the Exercise Price per share.
(c) Cashless Exercise. The Holder shall have the right to pay all or a portion of the Exercise Price by making a “Cashless Exercise” pursuant to this Section 2(c),
in which case the portion of the Exercise Price to be so paid shall be paid by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to the Election to Purchase (the “Exercised Shares”) by an amount (the “Cashless Exercise Shares”) equal to (i) the Exercise Price multiplied by the Exercise Shares and divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value
Per Share of the Common Stock determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such exercise of this Warrant. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder as a result of a Cashless Exercise will therefore be equal to the Exercised Shares minus the Cashless Exercise Shares.
(d) Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at the Principal Office in proper form for exercise, and accompanied by payment of the Exercise
Price as aforesaid, the Company shall immediately cause the shares of Common Stock to be registered in the name of the Holder in the Register of Stockholders of the Company and the Holder shall then be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that certificates representing such shares of Common Stock may not then be actually delivered. Upon such surrender of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Company shall
issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to, or upon the written order of, the Holder (and in such name or names as the Holder may designate) a certificate or certificates for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exercise Amount, subject to any reduction as provided in Section 2(c) for a Cashless Exercise.
(e) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to deliver fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a share of
Common Stock would be deliverable upon an exercise of this Warrant, the Company may, in lieu of delivering such fraction of a share of Common Stock, make a cash payment to the Holder in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Fair Market Value Per Share of the Common Stock determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date of exercise of this Warrant.
(f) Partial Exercise. In the event of a partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue to the Holder a Warrant in like form for the unexercised portion thereof.
SECTION 3. Payment of Taxes.
The Company shall pay all stamp taxes attributable to the issuance of shares or other securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant or issuable pursuant to Section 6 hereof.
SECTION 4. Replacement Warrant.
In case this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue and deliver in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing an equivalent right
or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant and upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company (provided, that if the Holder is a financial institution or other institutional investor, its personal undertaking to provide an indemnity is hereby deemed to be reasonably satisfactory to the Company).
SECTION 5. Reservation of Capital Stock and Other Covenants.
(a) Reservation of Authorized Capital Stock. The Company shall at all times ensure that it has sufficient authorized and unissued capital, free of preemptive rights, to enable
the Company at any time to fulfill all of its obligations hereunder upon both the exercise of this Warrant and in respect of the Common Stock, or other stock or securities issuable upon conversion of the Common Stock or other securities that may be purchased hereunder.
(b) Affirmative Actions to Permit Exercise and Realization of Benefits. If any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, or any shares or other securities
to be issued pursuant to Section 6 hereof, or any shares of Common Stock or other securities to be issued pursuant to the conversion of the Common Stock or other securities that may be purchased hereunder require registration with or approval of any Governmental Authority under any federal or state law (other than securities laws) before such shares or other securities may be validly delivered upon exercise of this Warrant or conversion of the Common Stock or other securities that may be purchased hereunder,
then the Company covenants that it will, at its sole expense, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.
(c) Regulatory Requirements and Restrictions. In the event of any reasonable determination by the Holder that, by reason of any existing or future federal or state law, statute,
rule, regulation, guideline, order, court or administrative ruling, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) (collectively, a “Regulatory Requirement”), the Holder is effectively restricted or prohibited from holding this Warrant or the Warrant Shares (including any shares of Capital Stock or other securities distributable to the Holder in any merger,
reorganization, readjustment or other reclassification), or otherwise realizing upon or receiving the benefits intended under this Warrant, the Company shall, and shall use its best efforts to have its shareholders, take such action as the Holder and the Company shall jointly agree in good faith to be reasonably necessary to permit the Holder to comply with such Regulatory Requirement. The reasonable costs of taking such action,
whether by the Company, the Holder or otherwise, shall be borne by the Holder.
(d) Validly Issued Shares. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock and other securities that may be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant (including those issued
pursuant to Section 6 hereof), assuming full payment of the Exercise Price, and all shares of Common Stock and other securities that may be delivered upon conversion of such Common Stock, shall, upon delivery by the Company, be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all stamp taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue or delivery thereof and otherwise free of all other security interests, encumbrances and claims of any nature whatsoever other than such security interests,
encumbrances and claims granted by the Holder.
SECTION 6. Adjustments to Aggregate Number.
Under certain conditions, the Aggregate Number is subject to adjustment as set forth in this Section 6. No adjustments shall be made under this Section 6 as a result the Exempt Issuances.
(a) Adjustments. The Aggregate Number, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 6, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows
and, thereafter, as adjusted, shall be deemed to be the Aggregate Number hereunder.
(i) Stock Dividends; Subdivisions and Combinations. In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall:
(A) issue to the holders of the Common Stock a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock (a “Stock Dividend”),
(B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, by means of a stock split (a “Stock Subdivision”),
or
(C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock (a “Stock Combination”),
then the Aggregate Number in effect immediately prior thereto shall be (1) proportionately increased in the case of a Stock Dividend or a Stock Subdivision and (2) proportionately decreased in the case of a Stock Combination. In the event the Company shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on
the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have made a Stock Dividend in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.
(ii) Other Distributions. The Company shall notify the Holder and afford the Holder with no less then ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable record date, in
case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take a record of the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution (collectively, a “Distribution”) of:
(A) Cash,
(B) any evidences of its indebtedness (other than Convertible Securities), any shares of its Capital Stock (other than additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities) or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever
(other than cash), or
(C) any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the following: any evidences of its indebtedness (other than Convertible Securities), any shares of its Capital Stock (other than additional shares of Common Stock
or Convertible Securities) or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever.
A reclassification of the Common Stock into shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a Distribution by the Company to the holders of the Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock, and if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock
as a part of such reclassification, such event shall be deemed a Stock Subdivision or Stock Combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 6(a)(i) hereof.
(iii) Adjustment to Exercise Price. Upon any adjustment to the Aggregate Number or of the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which
are purchasable hereunder pursuant to this Section 6, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase such Aggregate Number of shares of Common Stock or other securities resulting from such adjustment at an Exercise Price per share of Common Stock or other security obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the Aggregate Number prior to such adjustment and dividing by the Aggregate Number immediately following such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to
this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
(iv) Intentionally Omitted.
(v) Intentionally Omitted.
(vi) Intentionally Omitted.
(vii) Miscellaneous. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the Aggregate Number provided above in this Section 6(a):
(A) Intentionally Omitted.
(B) The adjustments required by the preceding paragraphs of this Section 6(a) shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that no adjustment of the Aggregate Number that would
otherwise be required shall be made (except in the case of a Stock Subdivision or Stock Combination, as provided for in Section 6(a)(i) hereof) unless and until such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts at least one one-hundredth of one share to or from the Aggregate Number immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) shall be carried forward and
made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 6(a) and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(C) In computing adjustments under this Section 6(a), fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one-thousandth of a share.
(D) If the Company shall take a record of the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to
shareholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
(b) Changes in Common Stock. In case at any time the Company shall initiate any transaction or be a party to any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation,
share exchange, sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, liquidation, recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock) in connection with which the previous outstanding Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged for different securities of the Company or Capital Stock or other securities of another corporation or interests in a non-corporate entity or other property (including cash) or any combination of the foregoing (each such transaction being
herein called a “Transaction”), then, as a condition of the consummation of the Transaction, lawful, enforceable and adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder shall be entitled to elect, by written notice to the Company, to receive (i) in exchange for the surrender of the Warrant to the Company and the same Exercise Price (rather than the exercise thereof), the securities or other property (including cash) to which such Holder
would have been entitled upon consummation of the Transaction if such Holder had exercised this Warrant and (if applicable) converted the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder immediately prior thereto, (ii) a new warrant in form and substance similar to, and in exchange for, this Warrant to purchase all or a portion of such securities or other property for the same Exercise Price or (iii) upon exercise of this Warrant at any time on or after the consummation of the Transaction but prior to the Expiration
Date, in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation, the securities or other property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon consummation of the Transaction if such Holder had exercised this Warrant and (if applicable) converted the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder immediately prior thereto (subject to adjustments from and after the consummation date as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6). The
Company will not effect any Transaction unless prior to the consummation thereof each corporation or other entity (other than the Company) which may be required to deliver any new warrant, securities or other property as provided herein shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to such Holder such new warrant, securities or other property as in accordance with the foregoing provisions such Holder may be entitled to receive. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6(b) shall similarly
apply to successive Transactions.
(c) Other Action Affecting Capital Stock.
(i) Other Action. In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take any action of the type contemplated in Section 6(a) or (b) hereof but not
expressly provided for by such provisions, then, unless in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors such action will not have a material adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder (taking into consideration, if necessary, any prior actions which the Company’s Board of Directors deemed not to materially adversely affect the rights of the Holder), the Aggregate Number shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Company’s Board of Directors may in good faith determine to be
equitable in the circumstances.
(ii) Intentionally Omitted.
(d) Intentionally Omitted.
(e) Notices.
(i) Notice of Proposed Actions. In case the Company shall propose (A) to pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of the Common Stock or
to make any other distribution to the holders of the Common Stock, (B) to offer to the holders of the Common Stock rights to subscribe for or to purchase any Convertible Securities or additional shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, warrants, rights or options, (other than the exercise of pre-emptive rights by a holder) (C) to effect any reclassification of the Common Stock, (D) to effect any recapitalization, stock subdivision, stock combination or other capital reorganization,
(E) to effect any consolidation or merger, share exchange, or sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of its property, assets or business, (F) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, (G) to effect an Initial Public Offering, (H) effect a Change of Control (provided that notice of a Change of Control shall only be provided upon the Company entering into a definitive agreement with respect to such Change of Control and such information not being material non public
information) or (I) to effect any other action which would require an adjustment under this Section 6, then in each such case the Company shall give to the Holder written notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the date on which a record is to be taken for the purposes of such stock dividend, stock subdivision, stock combination, distribution or rights, or the approximate date on which such reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, lease, transfer,
disposition, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other transaction is expected to take place and the expected date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock (as applicable), if any such date is to be fixed, or the date on which the transfer of Common Stock (as applicable) is expected to occur, and shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock (as applicable) and on the Aggregate Number after giving
effect to any adjustment which will be required as a result of such action. Such notice shall be so given in the case of any action covered by clause (A) or (B) above at least 10 Business Days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Common Stock (as applicable) for purposes of such action and, in the case of any other such action, at least 10 Business Days prior to the earlier of the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common
Stock (as applicable).
(ii) Adjustment Notice. Whenever the Aggregate Number is to be adjusted pursuant to this Section 6, unless otherwise agreed by the Holder, the Company shall
promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after the event requiring the adjustment) prepare a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment is to be calculated. The certificate shall set forth, if applicable, a description of the basis on which the Company's Board of Directors in good faith determined, as applicable, the Fair Market Value Per Share or the fair
market value of any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities, warrants, other subscription or purchase rights, or other property or the equitable nature of any adjustment under Section 6(b) or (c) hereof, the new Aggregate Number and, if applicable, any new securities or property to which the Holder is entitled. The Company shall promptly cause a copy of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder. In the case of any determination of Fair Market Value Per Share, such
certificate shall be delivered to the Holder within the time period set forth in the definition of Fair Market Value Per Share and the Holder may object thereto as provided therein. Any other determination of fair market value shall first be determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors and be based upon an arm’s length sale of such indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities, warrants, other subscription or purchase rights or other property, such sale being between a willing
buyer and a willing seller. In the case of any such determination of fair market value, the Required Holders may object to the determination in such certificate by giving written notice within 10 Business Days of the receipt of such certificate and, if the Required Holders and the Company cannot agree to the fair market value within 10 Business Days of the date of the Required Holders' objection, the fair market value shall be determined by a national or regional investment bank or a national accounting
firm mutually selected by the Required Holders and the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid 50% by the Company and 50% by the Holders that did not agree with the valuation determined by the Company unless such determination results in a fair market value more than 110% of the fair market value determined by the Company in which case such fees and expenses shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall keep
at the Principal Office copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours by the Holder or any prospective purchaser of the Warrant (in whole or in part) if so designated by the Holder.
SECTION 7. No Dilution or Impairment.
The Company will not, by amendment of its organizational documents or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, share exchange, dissolution or any other voluntary and deliberate action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
including, without limitation, the adjustments required under Section 6 hereof, and will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant to the contrary (including by way of implication), the Company (a) will not increase the par value
of any shares of Common Stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise and (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate so that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock on the exercise of this Warrant and issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock on the conversion of the Common Stock.
SECTION 8. Intentionally Omitted.
SECTION 9. Transfers of the Warrant.
(a) Generally. Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Sections 1 and 9 of this Warrant, the Holder may at any time and from time to time freely transfer this Warrant and
the Warrant Shares in whole or in part.
(b) Compliance with Securities Laws. The Holder agrees that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares may not be sold or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such state securities laws. In the event that the Holder transfers this Warrant or the Warrant Shares pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration, the Company may request, at the Holder’s expense, an opinion of counsel that the proposed transfer does not violate the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
(c) Restrictive Securities Legend. For so long as the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the certificate
representing the Warrant Shares shall bear the restrictive legends set forth below:
“The offer and sale of the shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any State and may not be sold or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement under such Act and applicable State securities
laws or pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of such Act and such laws.”
SECTION 10. Piggyback Registration Rights.
If, at any time, there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale all of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Registrable Securities”), and Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration
statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act, of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), then Company shall send to the Holder a written notice of such
determination and, if within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Holder of such notice, Company shall receive a request in writing from the Holder, Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such shares of the Registrable Securities that the Holder requests to be registered at no cost to Holder (other than the Holder’s pro rata share of underwriting discounts, fees and commissions). The Holder (or their designee(s)) shall also be provided with such other rights,
and Company shall have such obligations, as customarily accompany investor piggyback registration rights, including, without limitation, the right of Holders to customary indemnification by Company, Company’s obligation to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement, the obligation of Company to register and
qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under applicable state securities and blue sky laws, the obligation of Company to cause the securities covered by such registration statement to be listed or quoted on the trading market on which Company’s securities are then listed or quoted, the obligation of Company to cause to be provided customary legal opinions and comfort letters of its independent certified accountants if requested in connection with a sale pursuant to such registration
statement), and the obligation to reimburse the Holder for reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration involves an underwritten offering, and the lead managing underwriter shall advise Company that the amount of securities to be included in the offering exceeds the amount which can be sold in the offering, the number of securities owned by Holders to be included in the offering shall be reduced pro rata among the
holders thereof requesting such registration or eliminated if so required by the managing underwriter. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall cease to be Registrable Securities when (a) a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission and it has been disposed of pursuant to such effective Registration Statement or (b) such Registrable Securities may
be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without volume restriction.
SECTION 11. Events of Non-Compliance and Remedies.
(a) Events of Non-Compliance. If the Company fails to keep and fully and promptly perform and observe in any material respect any of the terms, covenants or representations contained

(b) Remedies. On the occurrence of an Event of Non-Compliance, in addition to any remedies the Holder may have under applicable law the Holder may bring any action for injunctive
relief or specific performance of any term or covenant contained herein or in the Commercial Term Loan Agreement, the Company hereby acknowledging that an action for money damages may not be adequate to protect the interests of the Holder hereunder.
