Exhibit 10.4
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
This Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) is being entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement, by and among Texas Ventures Acquisition III Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (the “Issuer”, which after the date of the Domestication, shall be known as PlusAI Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation), Plus Automation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Investor”). The Subscription Agreement is entered into in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated September 2, 2026 (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, the Company and the other parties thereto. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to in this Subscription Agreement as the “Transaction” and the purchase and sale of the Securities (as defined below) pursuant to this Subscription Agreement are referred to in this Subscription Agreement as the “Subscription Transaction.” All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in the Merger Agreement.
As set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement, the aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the subscribed shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) and Warrants (as defined below) is referred to in this Subscription Agreement as the “Subscription Amount.” The Issuer may enter into one or more subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain other investors (the “Other Investors,” and together with the Investor, the “Investors”) pursuant to which such Other Investors may acquire Warrants and either shares of Common Stock or Floating Rate Senior Convertible PIK Notes (the “Notes”).
In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Subscription Agreement, and intending to be legally bound under this Subscription Agreement, each of the Investor, the Issuer and the Company acknowledges and agrees as follows:
1. Subscription. Subject to Section 12, the Investor irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Issuer the number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement, and the Issuer irrevocably agrees to issue and sell to the Investor such shares of Common Stock and such Warrants, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for in this Subscription Agreement.
2. Closing.
(a) The closing of the Subscription Transaction (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The Closing shall occur on the date of, and substantially concurrently with and conditioned upon the effectiveness of, the Transaction upon (i) satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Section 2 and in Section 3 below and (ii) delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) the Issuer to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”) that the Issuer reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived on a date that is not less than five Business Days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor.
(b) At least three Business Days prior to the closing date specified in the Closing Notice (the “Closing Date”), the Investor shall deliver to the Issuer: (i) the Subscription Amount by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by the Issuer in the Closing Notice, thereby subscribing for the shares of Common Stock and Warrants, to be held in escrow until the Closing; and (ii) any other information that is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the Issuer to issue to the Investor the shares of Common Stock and Warrants. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such information shall include the legal name of the person in whose name such shares of Common Stock and Warrants are to be issued and a duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable.
(c) On the Closing Date:
(i) the Issuer shall cause its transfer agent to register the shares of Common Stock set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement in book-entry form, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable securities laws) in the name of the Investor; and
(ii) the Issuer shall issue to the Investor Warrants registered in the name of the Investor to purchase up to that number of shares of Common Stock as specified on the signature page hereto with an exercise price equal to $12.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth therein.
The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a copy of its transfer agent’s records showing the Investor as the owner of such shares of Common Stock as soon as practically possible following the Closing Date.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer’s obligation to issue the shares of Common Stock and Warrants to the Investor is contingent upon the Issuer having received the Subscription Amount in full in accordance with this Section 2. If the Closing does not occur within three Business Days following the Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Issuer shall promptly (but not later than one Business Day thereafter) return the Subscription Amount in full to the Investor by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Investor, until such time as the Closing is rescheduled, in which case the process set forth in Section 2(a) will recommence.
3. Closing Conditions.

5. The Issuer’s and the Company’s Representations and Warranties.
5.1 The Issuer represents and warrants to the Investor and the Placement Agents that as of the date of this Subscription Agreement and as of the Closing Date:
(a) The Issuer (i) is an exempted company with limited liability registered by way of continuation in the Cayman Islands and is in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, (ii) has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, and (iii) is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing (to the extent applicable) in all jurisdictions in which its ownership of property or character of its activities is such as to require it to be so licensed or qualified, except, with respect to the foregoing clause (iii), where the failure to be so licensed or qualified has not and would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have an Issuer Subscription Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, an “Issuer Subscription Adverse Effect” means an event, change, development, occurrence, condition or effect with respect to the Issuer that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations, financial condition, prospects, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Issuer or materially and adversely affect the validity of the Securities or the legal authority or ability of the Issuer to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the term Issuer Subscription Adverse Effect is Subscription-specific and is distinct from, and shall not modify, the SPAC Material Adverse Effect definition in the Merger Agreement. Upon the occurrence of the Domestication, the Issuer intends to become a Delaware corporation under the Laws of the State of Delaware.

(f) The Issuer has not taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation, administration or winding up or failed to pay its debts when due, nor does the Issuer have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or seek to commence an administration.

Each of the financial statements of the Issuer included in the SEC Documents comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Issuer as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments.

(h) The Investor’s acquisition and holding of the Securities will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any applicable similar law.
(i) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has received, and has had the opportunity to review and understand such financials and other information as the Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Securities, including, with respect to the business of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, the Company and the Transaction.

The Investor acknowledges that the Investor will not rely on any such registration statement, proxy statement/prospectus or information statement in making any investment decision. The Investor acknowledges that the Issuer and the Company offered to make certain non-public information available to the Investor subject to customary trading restrictions and non-disclosure requirements.
(j) The Investor acknowledges that certain information provided to it was based on forecasts. The Investor understands and agrees that such forecasts were prepared based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties many of which are outside of the Issuer’s control. Consequently, Investor acknowledges and agrees that actual results may differ materially from those contained in the forecasts and that the Issuer does not guarantee the accuracy of any such forecasts. The Investor acknowledges that all forward-looking information and forecasts were prepared without the participation of the Placement Agents and that the Placement Agents do not assume responsibility for independent verification of, or the accuracy or completeness of, such information or forecasts.
(k) The Investor became aware of this offering of the Securities solely by means of direct contact between the Investor and the Issuer, the Company or a representative of the Issuer or the Company. Investor acknowledges that the Securities were offered to the Investor solely by direct contact between the Investor and the Issuer, the Company or a representative of the Issuer or the Company. The Investor did not become aware of this offering of the Securities, nor were the Securities offered to the Investor, by any other means. The Investor acknowledges that the Securities: (i) were not offered to it by any advertising or, to its knowledge, general solicitation; and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. In making its investment or decision to invest in the Issuer, the Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied and disclaims reliance upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, the Issuer, the Company, the Placement Agents, any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the representations and warranties of the Issuer and the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement. Neither the Investor, nor to its knowledge any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, stockholders or partners has either directly or indirectly, including through a broker or finder, (i) to its knowledge, engaged in any general solicitation, or (ii) published any advertisement in connection with the offering of the Securities.
8
(l) The Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Securities. The Investor is: (i) able to fend for itself in the Transaction contemplated in this Subscription Agreement; (ii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities; and (iii) has the ability to bear the economic risks of its prospective investment and can afford the complete loss of such investment. The Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has made its own assessment and has satisfied itself concerning relevant tax and other economic considerations relative to its purchase of the Securities. The Investor agrees that Cohen & Company Securities, LLC, acting through its Cohen & Company Capital Markets division, or any of their affiliates, in their capacity as placement agents (the “Placement Agents”), shall not be liable to any Investor for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them or have any liability or obligation (including, without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by the Investor, the Issuer or any other person or entity), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, to any Investor, or to any person claiming through such Investor, in respect of the Transaction. Investor represents that: (i) it is able to sustain a complete loss on its investment in the Securities; (ii) has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Securities; and (iii) has no reason to anticipate any change in circumstances, financial or otherwise, which may cause or require any sale or distribution of all or any part of the Securities.
(m) Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor acknowledges that it has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Securities and determined that the Securities are a suitable investment for the Investor. Investor represents that it is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in the Issuer. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.
(n) In making its decision to purchase the Securities, the Investor has relied solely upon its own independent investigation and that of its advisors, if any. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor has not relied (and disclaims reliance) on any statements or other information provided by or on behalf of the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing concerning the Issuer, the Company, the Transaction, the Merger Agreement, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated under this Subscription Agreement or the Merger Agreement, the Securities or the offer and sale of the Securities.
(o) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons: (i) have not provided the Investor with any information or advice with respect to the Securities; (ii) have not made and do not make any representation, express or implied as to the Issuer, the Company, the Issuer’s credit quality, the Securities or the Investor’s purchase of the Securities; (iii) have not acted as the Investor’s financial advisor or fiduciary in connection with the issue and purchase of Securities; (iv) may have acquired, or during the term of the Securities may acquire, non-public information with respect to the Issuer, which, subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Investor agrees need not be provided to it; (v) may have existing or future business relationships with the Issuer and the Company (including, but not limited to, lending, depository, risk management, advisory and banking relationships); (vi) will pursue actions and take steps that it deems or they deem necessary or appropriate to protect its or their interests arising therefrom without regard to the consequences for a holder of Securities, and that certain of these actions may have material and adverse consequences for a holder of Securities.
(p) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied on the Placement Agents in connection with its determination as to the legality of its acquisition of the Securities or as to the other matters referred to in this Subscription Agreement. Investor also acknowledges that it has not relied on any investigation that the Placement Agents, any of their affiliates or any person acting on their behalf have conducted with respect to the Securities, the Issuer or the Company. The Investor further acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied on any information contained in any research reports prepared by the Placement Agents or any of their affiliates.
9
(q) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.
(r) The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Subscription Agreement are within the Investor’s powers, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which the Investor is a party or by which the Investor is bound that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the legal authority of the Investor to enter into and perform its obligation under this Subscription Agreement. If the Investor is not an individual, the execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Subscription Agreement will not violate any provisions of the Investor’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its incorporation or formation papers, bylaws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable. The signature on this Subscription Agreement is genuine. If the Investor is an individual, the signatory has legal competence and Investor has the capacity to execute this Subscription Agreement. If the Investor is not an individual, the signatory has been duly authorized to execute this Subscription Agreement. Assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.
(s) The Investor is not: (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program; (ii) owned, directly or indirectly, or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, one or more persons that are named on the OFAC List; (iii) organized, incorporated, established, located, resident or born in, or a citizen, national or the government, including any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof, of, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, the so-called Luhansk People Republic or any other country or territory embargoed or subject to substantial trade restrictions by the United States; (iv) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515; or (v) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank (each of the foregoing, a “Prohibited Investor”). If requested, the Investor agrees and is permitted to provide law enforcement agencies such records as required by applicable law. If the Investor is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), to the extent required, the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with OFAC-administered sanctions programs, including for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. To the extent required by applicable law, the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Investor and used to purchase the Securities were legally derived and were not obtained, directly or indirectly, from a Prohibited Investor.
(t) No disclosure or offering document has been prepared by the Placement Agents in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities.
(u) None of the Placement Agents, nor any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, have made any independent investigation with respect to the Issuer or its subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, the Company or the Securities or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to the Investor by the Issuer or the Company.
10
(v) In connection with the issue and purchase of the Securities, the Placement Agents have not acted as the Investor’s financial advisor or fiduciary.
(w) The Investor, when required to deliver payment to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2 above, will have sufficient immediately available funds to pay the Subscription Amount and consummate the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
(x) As of the date of this Subscription Agreement, the Investor does not have, and during the 30 day period immediately prior to the date of this Subscription Agreement, the Investor has not entered into, any “put equivalent position” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act or short sale positions with respect to the securities of the Issuer or the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor makes no such representation with respect to any assets of the Investor managed by an external investment manager pursuant to a separately managed account arrangement.
(y) The Investor is not currently (and at all times through Closing will refrain from being or becoming) a member of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision) acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Issuer or the Company (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act), other than a group consisting solely of the Investor and its affiliates.
(z) If the Investor is or is acting on behalf of: (i) an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”); (ii) a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); (iii) an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement described in clauses (i) and (ii) (each, an “ERISA Plan”); or (iv) an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, “Similar Laws,” and together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”), the Investor represents and warrants that (A) none of the Issuer, the Company or any of their respective affiliates has provided investment advice or has otherwise acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Securities; (B) none of the parties to the Transaction is or shall at any time be the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision in connection with the Investor’s investment in the Securities; and (C) its purchase of the Securities will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any applicable Similar Law.
(aa) Except as indicated on the signature page hereto, the Investor is not a “foreign person” or a “foreign entity” and is not controlled by a “foreign person,” as those terms are defined in Section 721 of the Defense Production Act, as amended, including its implementing regulations (the “DPA”). The Investor does not permit any foreign person affiliated with the Investor, whether affiliated as a limited partner or equivalent, to obtain through the Investor as a result of that foreign person’s investment any DPA Triggering Rights (as defined below) with respect to the Issuer. If the Investor is a foreign person or foreign entity or is controlled by a foreign person for purposes of the DPA, then notwithstanding anything in this letter agreement, or any other agreement(s) that relate to the current or any other ‘investment’ within the meaning of the DPA, as defined below (such investment, an “Investment,” and such agreements, the “Transaction Agreements”), in the Issuer (which term “Issuer” shall include, for purposes of this paragraph, any direct or indirect, wholly or partially owned subsidiary of the Issuer, if applicable) between the Issuer and the Investor or any affiliate to the contrary, the Investor and the Issuer agree that neither the Investor nor any affiliate will obtain or request with respect to the Issuer, any of the following rights, as a result of such Investment: (a) “control” of the Issuer, including the power to determine, direct or decide any important matters affecting the Issuer; (b) membership or observer rights on the Board of Directors or equivalent body of the Issuer, or the right to nominate an individual to a position on the Board of Directors or equivalent body of the Issuer; (c) access to any “material nonpublic technical information” in the possession of the Issuer (provided, however, that such prohibited information shall not include financial information regarding the performance of the Issuer); and (d) any “involvement” (other than through voting of shares) in “substantive decision making” of the Issuer regarding (i) the use, development, acquisition, safekeeping, or release of “sensitive personal data” of U.S. citizens maintained or collected by the Company, (ii) the use, development, acquisition, or release of “critical technologies,” or (iii) the management, operation, manufacture, or supply of “covered investment critical infrastructure” ((a)-(d) being the “DPA Triggering Rights”). To the extent any term in the Transaction Agreements between the Issuer and the Investor or any affiliate related to an Investment purports to grant any DPA Triggering Rights in the Issuer to the Investor or any affiliate, such term shall have no effect.
11
7. Registration Rights.
(a) No event later than 10 Business Days after the Closing Date (such deadline, the “Filing Deadline”), the Issuer will endeavor to file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement on Form S-1 registering the resale of the Registrable Securities (the “Registration Statement”). The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) forty-five (45) Business Days after the Closing and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”). If (i) the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, or (ii) the Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness Date, the Issuer will make pro rata payments to the Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate amount paid pursuant to this Subscription Agreement by the Investor for such Registrable Securities then held by the Investor for each five (5) Business Day period following (A) in the case of clause (i), the Filing Deadline for which no Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities or (B) in the case of clause (ii), the Effectiveness Date for which the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC. Such payments shall constitute the Investor’s exclusive monetary remedy for such events, but shall not affect the right of the Investor to seek injunctive relief. Such payments shall be made to the Investor in cash no later than ten (10) Business Days after the end of each such five (5) Business Day period (the “Payment Date”). Interest shall accrue at the rate of 1% per month on any such liquidated damages payments that shall not be paid by the Payment Date until such amount is paid in full. The Issuer may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 at such time after the Issuer becomes eligible to use such Form S-3. The Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Investor for review at least two (2) Business Days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. Except as required by law, in no event shall the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC requires that the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) have the opportunity to cause the Issuer to withdraw such Investor’s Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to the Issuer, in which case the Issuer’s obligation to register the Registrable Securities will be deemed satisfied or (ii) be included as such in the Registration Statement. The Issuer’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding the Investor, the securities of the Issuer held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities. Investor shall also execute documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, in connection with the obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7, the Investor shall not be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Registrable Securities. Upon notification by the SEC that any Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, within one (1) Business Day thereafter, the Issuer shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act. The Issuer agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of: (i) the second anniversary of the Effectiveness Date of the Registration Statement registering all Registrable Securities for resale by the Investor; (ii) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any Registrable Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement; or (iii) the first date on which the Investor is able to sell all of its Registrable Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without volume or manner of sale limitations. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement set forth in this Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under a Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7 by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale the number of Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of Registrable Securities as is permitted to be registered by the SEC. In such event, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each selling shareholder named in such Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders. In the event the Issuer amends the Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Registrable Securities that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended.
12
(b) For as long as the Investor holds Warrants or Warrant-Related Shares or, if shorter, through the date of expiration, or redemption or termination of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrants, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to (1) qualify the Warrant-Related Shares for listing on a Stock Exchange, which shall be the stock exchange on which the Issuer’s Common Stock is then listed, and (2) update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Warrant-Related Shares. For as long as the Investor holds Warrants or Warrant-Related Shares or, if shorter, through the date of expiration, or redemption or termination of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrants, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, (B) file in a timely manner all reports and other documents with the SEC required under the Exchange Act and (C) provide all customary and reasonable cooperation necessary, in each case, to enable the Investor to resell the Warrant-Related Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 of the Securities Act (when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Investor), as applicable.
(c) The Issuer may suspend the use of any such Registration Statement if the board of directors of the Issuer determines in good faith that either in order for such Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly or annual report under the Exchange Act (a “Suspension Event”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (I) the Issuer shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than ninety (90) consecutive days, not more than twice in any 12-month period and (II) the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by the Investor of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.
(d) The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legend included on the certificates (or, in the case of book-entry shares, any other instrument or record) representing the Investor’s ownership of Registrable Securities, and to issue a certificate (or evidence of the issuance of such securities in book-entry form) without such restrictive legend or any other restrictive legend to the Investor, if: (i) such Registrable Securities are sold or transferred pursuant to the effective Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 where, following such, subsequent public distribution of such shares shall not require registration under the Securities Act; or (ii) such Registrable Securities are eligible for sale pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act or Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(2) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). Following Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of such Registrable Securities without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(2) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), the Issuer, upon the written request of Investor and after providing the Issuer and its transfer agent with all customary documentation, shall instruct the Issuer’s transfer agent to remove the legend from such Registrable Securities (in whatever form) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer’s counsel to issue any legend removal opinion required by the transfer agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, once the Registration Statement registering the Registrable Securities for resale becomes effective under the Securities Act, and subject to receipt from the Investor by the Issuer and its transfer agent, as applicable, of customary documentation in connection therewith, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer’s counsel to issue to the transfer agent a “blanket” legal opinion to allow sales without restriction pursuant to the effective Registration Statement and in connection with the removal of legends in connection with such sales pursuant to the effective Registration Statement, in each case to the extent required by the transfer agent.
13
(e) At its expense, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to advise the Investor within five (5) Business Days: (i) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included in such Registration Statement or for additional information; (iii) after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (v) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein do not include any untrue statements of a material fact and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide written notice of the happening of any of the foregoing or of a Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading. The notice sent by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not contain any material non-public information other than the description of such event, which the parties agree may constitute material non-public information. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in clauses (i) through (v) above, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted under this Subscription Agreement to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(f) For purposes of this Section 7:
(i) “Shares” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the shares of Common Stock and the Warrant-Related Shares.
(ii) “Warrant-Related Shares” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (assuming on such date the Warrants are able to be exercised in full without regard to any exercise limitations therein).
(iii) “Investor” shall include any person or entity to which the rights under this Section 7 shall have been duly assigned.
(iv) “Registrable Securities” means (i) the Shares, (ii) all Warrant-Related Shares, and (iii) any other shares of Common Stock issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, in exchange for or in replacement of the Shares, whether by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement, amendment of the articles of association or otherwise; provided, however, that any such Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities (and the Issuer shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of any, or file another, Registration Statement hereunder with respect thereto) upon the first to occur of (A) a Registration Statement with respect to the sale of such Registrable Securities being declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act and such Registrable Securities having been disposed of by the holder thereof in accordance with such effective Registration Statement, (B) such Registrable Securities having been sold in accordance with Rule 144 (or another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act) resulting in the transferee of the Shares holding unrestricted securities and (C) such Registrable Securities becoming eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144.
14
(g) Notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investor, the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, and employees of the Investor, each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, and employees of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, reasonable and documented costs (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees) and reasonable and documented expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (or incorporated by reference) in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. The indemnity obligation set forth in this Section 7(g) shall not apply, however, to the extent that any untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Investor furnished in writing to the Issuer by the Investor expressly for use in any of the SEC filings referenced in this Section 7(g). The Issuer shall notify the Investor promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which the Issuer is aware. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Issuer.
(h) The Investor shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Investor, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its directors, officers, partners, members, managers, shareholders, agents and employees, each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, partners, members, managers, shareholders, or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Investor furnished in writing to the Issuer by the Investor expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor.
(i) Any person or entity entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification under this Subscription Agreement to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. Without the consent of the indemnified party, no indemnifying party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
15
(j) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.
(k) If the indemnification provided under this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses referred to in this Section 7, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of the Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7, the amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses shall be deemed to include any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7(k) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
8. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties to this Subscription Agreement shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of: (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties to terminate this Subscription Agreement; (c) 12 months after the date of the Merger Agreement, if the Closing has not occurred by such date other than as a result of a breach of Investor’s obligations under this Subscription Agreement; or (d) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are (i) not satisfied or waived prior to the Closing or (ii) not capable of being satisfied on the Closing and, in each case of (i) and (ii), as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be and are not consummated at the Closing (the termination events described in clauses (a)-(d) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”). Nothing in this Subscription Agreement will relieve, however, any party from liability for any willful breach of this Subscription Agreement prior to the time of termination. Each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. The Issuer shall notify the Investor in writing of the termination of the Merger Agreement promptly after the termination of the Merger Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect (except that the provisions of Section 7(g) through (k), this Section 8, Sections 9 through 12 of this Subscription Agreement will survive any termination of the Subscription Agreement and continue indefinitely). Following the Termination Event, any monies paid by the Investor to the Issuer in connection with this Subscription Agreement shall promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) be returned to the Investor without any deduction for or on account of any tax, withholding, charges, or set-off.
9. Miscellaneous.
(a) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the parties hereunder (other than the Securities acquired under this Subscription Agreement, if any, to the extent permitted by their terms) may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of each of the other parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Subscription Agreement and the Investor’s rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned to one or more funds or accounts managed by the same investment manager as the Investor or by or to an affiliate (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) of such investment manager without the prior consent of the Issuer. Prior to such assignment being valid, any such assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 9(a) shall relieve the Investor of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.
16
(b) The Issuer may request from the Investor such additional information as the Issuer deems reasonably necessary to register the resale of the Securities and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Securities. Investor agrees to promptly provide such information as may reasonably be requested to the extent readily available. The Issuer agrees to keep any such information provided by Investor confidential except: (i) as necessary to include in any registration statement the Issuer is required to file under this Subscription Agreement; (ii) as required by the federal securities law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities; or (iii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Issuer’s securities are listed for trading. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that if it does not provide the Issuer with such requested information, the Issuer may not be able to register the Investor’s Shares for resale pursuant to Section 7. In such event, Investor also agrees that, without any liability under this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer may reject the Investor’s Subscription Amount prior to the Closing Date in the event the Investor fails to provide such additional information requested by the Issuer to evaluate the Investor’s eligibility or the Issuer’s determines that the Investor is not eligible. The Investor acknowledges that the Issuer may file a form of this Subscription Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K or a registration statement of Issuer.
(c) The Investor acknowledges that the Issuer, the Company and the Placement Agents will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement, including Schedule A. Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify the Issuer, the Company and the Placement Agents if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 above are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case the Investor shall notify the Issuer and the Company if they are no longer accurate in any respect). If the Issuer receives such notice from Investor, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Placement Agents. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Investor of Securities from the Issuer will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties in this Subscription Agreement (as modified by any such notice) by the Investor as of the time of such purchase contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Issuer agrees to promptly notify the Investor if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 above are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality or Issuer Subscription Adverse Effect, in which case the Issuer shall notify the Investor if they are no longer accurate in any respect). The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that each sale by the Issuer of the Securities to the Investor will constitute a reaffirmation of their respective acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties in this Subscription Agreement (as modified by any such notice) as of the time of such purchase.
(d) The Issuer, the Investor, the Company and the Placement Agents are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy of this Subscription Agreement to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered under this Subscription Agreement. The foregoing clause of this Section 9(d) shall not, however, give the Placement Agents any rights other than those expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement.
(e) All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.
(f) This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy under this Subscription Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy. Nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties under this Subscription Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the parties would otherwise have.
(g) This Subscription Agreement (including Schedule A and Exhibit A) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter of the Subscription Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 7 with respect to any indemnified person, Section 8, Section 9(c), Section 9(d), Section 9(f), this Section 9(g), the last sentence of Section 9(k) and Section 10 with respect to the persons specifically referenced in that Section, and Section 5, Section 6, Section 9(c), Section 9(d) and Section 10 with respect to the Placement Agents, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties, and their respective successors and assigns. The parties acknowledge and agree that only those persons specifically referenced in the preceding sentence are third party beneficiaries of this Subscription Agreement with right of enforcement for the purposes of, and to the extent of, the rights granted to them, if any, pursuant to the applicable provisions.
17
(h) Except as otherwise provided in this Subscription Agreement, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns. The agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.
(i) If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired by such court and shall continue in full force and effect so long as this Subscription Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter of this Subscription Agreement and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
(j) This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or any other form of electronic delivery (including .pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com or other transmission method)) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(k) The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Consequently, the parties acknowledge and agree that a party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement. In the event that an Investor fails to fund all or any portion of its Subscription Amount in accordance with Section 2(b) (a “Funding Default”) (any such Investor, a “Defaulting Investor”), the Issuer, the Company, and the Other Investors (other than any Defaulting Investors) (the “Non-Defaulting Investors”) shall have the right to recover from the Defaulting Investor (x) liquidated damages equal to two times (2x) the Defaulting Investor’s Subscription Amount (the “Damages Amount”), and (y) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the party commencing a proceeding to enforce this Section 9(k) (the “Enforcement Costs”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Enforcement Costs shall be payable directly to the party that commenced the proceeding, in addition to and without reducing the Damages Amount. For the sake of clarity, the failure of the condition to closing set forth in Section 3(c)(vii) to occur does not excuse an Investor’s failure to fund in accordance with the Closing Notice at least three Business Days in advance of the Closing as such failure to fund in accordance with the Closing Notice at least three Business Days in advance of the Closing would constitute a breach of this Subscription Agreement for which the enforcement mechanism provided for by this Section 9(k) can be utilized. Any Non-Defaulting Investor seeking to enforce this Section 9(k) shall provide at least ten (10) days’ notice to the Issuer and the Company or, if the Closing has occurred, the Issuer, of such Non-Defaulting Investor’s intention to commence a proceeding. If, within such ten (10) day period, the Company or the Issuer notifies such Non-Defaulting Investor in writing that it intends to commence a proceeding, such Non-Defaulting Investor shall not separately commence a proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company or the Issuer does not actually commence a proceeding within forty-five (45) days following receipt of such notice, such Non-Defaulting Investor (the “Enforcing Investor”) may commence its own proceeding to recover the Damages Amount and Enforcement Costs. The Damages Amount recovered shall be applied in the following order of priority: (a) first, to reimburse each Non-Defaulting Investor for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in the event that the Closing does not occur as a result of, or following, such Funding Default, (b) second, to pay to the Issuer the amount of the Subscription Amount and all other damages incurred by the Issuer attributable to the Funding Default, and in the event that the Closing does not occur as a result of, or following, such Funding Default, to reimburse the Company for any direct and incremental costs or expenses directly attributable to such Funding Default; and (c) third, the remainder shall be distributed to all Non-Defaulting Investors (including the Enforcing Investor) pro rata in accordance with their respective Subscription Amounts. The mechanism described in this Section 9(k) is intended to operate as a liquidated damages provision, since the damages to the Issuer, the Company, and the Non-Defaulting Investors resulting from a Funding Default are both significant and not easily susceptible to precise quantification. By entry into this Subscription Agreement, each Investor agrees that a Funding Default causes substantial harm that is difficult to quantify, that 2x the Subscription Amount is a reasonable pre-estimate of minimum damages, and irrevocably waives any defense that such amount is an unenforceable penalty. The parties also acknowledge and agree that the foregoing remedies are cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.
18
(l) If any change in the number, type or classes of authorized shares of the Issuer (including the Shares), other than as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or any agreement contemplated by the Transaction, shall occur between the date of this Subscription Agreement and immediately prior to the Closing by reason of reclassification, recapitalization, share division or consolidation, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any share dividend, the number of Shares issued to the Investor and per share purchase price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.
(m) This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York as to all matters (including any action, suit, litigation, arbitration, mediation, claim, charge, complaint, inquiry, proceeding, hearing, audit, investigation or reviews by or before any governmental entity related), including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.
(n) Each party under this Subscription Agreement, and any person asserting rights as a third party beneficiary in accordance with Section 9(g) may do so only if he, she or it, irrevocably agrees that any action, suit or proceeding between or among the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, arising in connection with any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement or any related document or any of the transactions contemplated under this Subscription Agreement or any related document (“Legal Dispute”) shall be brought exclusively in the federal and state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York within the State of New York (collectively the “Chosen Courts”). Each party under this Subscription Agreement consents to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts or that any such suit, action or proceeding that is brought in the Chosen Courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum. During the period a Legal Dispute that is filed in accordance with this Section 9(n) is pending before the Chosen Courts, all actions, suits or proceedings with respect to such Legal Dispute or any other Legal Dispute, including any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts. Each party and any person asserting rights as a third party beneficiary may do so only if he, she or it waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any Legal Dispute, that: (a) such party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any reason; (b) such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts; (c) such party’s property is exempt or immune from execution; (d) such action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum; or (e) the venue of such action, suit or proceeding is improper. A final judgment in any action, suit or proceeding described in this Section 9(n) following the expiration of any period permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable laws. EACH OF THE PARTIES AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY MAY DO SO ONLY IF HE, SHE OR IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED UNDER THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED UNDER THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.
19
(o) The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged by Investor in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, which shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and Investor effecting a pledge of Securities shall not be required to provide the Issuer with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. The Issuer hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by Investor.
(p) Any notice or communication required or permitted under this Subscription Agreement to any Investor shall be in writing and either delivered personally, emailed or sent by overnight mail via a reputable overnight carrier, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to such address(es) or email address(es) set forth on the signature page. Any such communication or notice shall be deemed to be given and received: (i) when so delivered personally; (ii) when sent, with no mail undeliverable or other rejection notice, if sent by email; or (iii) three Business Days after the date of mailing to the address below or to such other address or addresses as the Investor may hereafter designate by notice to the Issuer.

10. Non-Reliance and Exculpation. The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, and is expressly disclaiming reliance on any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, the Placement Agents, and their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the statements, representations and warranties of the Issuer expressly contained in this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Issuer. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that none of (i) any Other Investor pursuant to any Other Subscription Agreements related to the private placement of the Securities (including such Other Investor’s respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), (ii) the Placement Agents, their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, or (iii) any party to the Merger Agreement or any Non-Party Affiliate (as defined below) other than the Issuer as expressly provided for in this Subscription Agreement, shall have any liability to the Investor, or to any Other Investor, pursuant to, arising out of or relating to: (x) this Subscription Agreement or any Other Subscription Agreements related to the private placement of the Securities or other equity securities; (y) the negotiation of this Subscription Agreement, its subject matter or the private placement of the Securities; or (z) the transactions contemplated under this Subscription Agreement or under any Other Subscription Agreements related to the private placement of the Securities or other equity securities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the prohibition on liability set forth in the preceding sentence shall apply only to any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with: (i) the purchase of the Securities or with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Subscription Agreement; (ii) any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection with this Subscription Agreement, as expressly provided in this Subscription Agreement; or (iii) any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to any information or materials of any kind furnished by the Issuer, the Company, the Placement Agents or any Non-Party Affiliate concerning the Issuer, the Company, the Placement Agents, any of their respective controlled affiliates, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated under this Subscription Agreement. “Non-Party Affiliates” means each former, current or future officer, director, employee, partner, member, manager, direct or indirect equity holder or affiliate of the Issuer, the Company, the Placement Agents or any of the Issuer’s, the Company’s or the Placement Agents’ controlled affiliates or any family member of the foregoing.
11. Disclosure. The Investor agrees to treat all information received in connection with the Transaction as confidential until a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing, among other things, the execution of the Merger Agreement (the “Disclosure Document”) is publicly filed by the Issuer with the SEC (the “Disclosure Time”), which, to the extent not previously disclosed, shall disclose all material terms of the transactions contemplated under this Subscription Agreement and by the Other Subscription Agreements and the Merger Agreement, the Transaction and any other material, nonpublic information that the Issuer, the Company or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agents have provided to the Investor at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. Upon the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to the knowledge of the Issuer, the Investor shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Issuer, the Company or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agents. Upon the Disclosure Time, the Investor shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral, with the Issuer or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agents, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, neither the Issuer nor the Company shall publicly disclose the name of the Investor or any of its affiliates or advisers, or include the name of the Investor or any of its affiliates or advisers in any press release or in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or trading market, without the prior written consent of the Investor, except: (i) as required by the federal securities law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities; (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Issuer’s securities are listed for trading; or (iii) to the extent such announcements or other communications contain only information previously disclosed in a public statement, press release or other communication previously approved in accordance with this Section 11. Prior to any disclosure permitted under the preceding sentence, to the extent permitted under law, each of the Issuer and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Investor with prior written notice of such disclosure and shall reasonably consult with the Investor regarding such disclosure.
21
12. Additional Agreements.
(a) Subject to Section 11, none of the Issuer, the Company nor any of their respective controlled affiliates and subsidiaries (if any) (collectively, the “Company Group”) shall identify, nor permit any of its employees, agents or representatives to identify, the Investor (whether in connection with the Issuer or the Company or in the Investor’s capacity as an investor in Issuer and/or the Company) in any written or oral public communications or issue any press release or other disclosure of the Investor’s name or the name of any of its affiliates, or any derivative of any of the foregoing names (collectively, the “Investor Names”), in each case except: (i) as authorized in writing by the Investor in each such instance (electronic mail to suffice); or (ii) as required by applicable law, legal process or regulatory request (“Applicable Law”). Subject to Section 11, if disclosure is required pursuant the preceding sentence, the disclosing member of the Company Group will, as soon as practicable, notify the Investor of such requirement (except where prohibited by Applicable Law) so that the Investor (or its applicable affiliate) may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy prior to such disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer and the Company may make disclosures to an auditor or governmental or regulatory authority pursuant to any routine investigation, inspection, examination or inquiry without providing the Investor with any notification thereof, unless the Investor is the subject of any such investigation, inspection, examination or inquiry (in which case the preceding sentence shall govern).
(b) The Issuer, on behalf of itself and the other Company Parties (as defined below), acknowledges and agrees that the acquisition of the Securities and the execution and adoption of this Subscription Agreement are not intended to establish, and shall not establish, an investment advisory relationship by and among, (i) on the one hand, the Investor or any affiliate, or any of its or their members, owners, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives (each, an “Investor Party”), and (ii) on the other hand, any member of the Company Group or any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, employees, agents or representatives (each, a “Company Party”), whereby any Investor Party serves as an investment adviser to any Company Party or that would otherwise result in any Investor Party meeting the definition of an investment adviser in Section 202(a)(11) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, with respect to any Company Party. Further, the Issuer, on behalf of itself and the other Company Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the Company Parties are not relying upon any Investor Party for investment advice, analysis or recommendations regarding any investment or potential investment.
(c) From the date hereof until the Standstill Termination Date, the Issuer shall not, without the prior written consent of YA II PN, Ltd., issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance of any shares of Common Stock, or Common Stock Equivalents, in each case other than an Exempt Issuance. “Exempt Issuance” shall mean (a) shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions, or to real property lessors, pursuant to a debt financing, equipment leasing or real property leasing transaction; (b) shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued to employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the board of directors of the Issuer or a committee thereof; (c) shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued to suppliers or third party service providers in connection with the provision of goods or services pursuant to transactions approved by the board of directors of the Issuer or a committee thereof; (d) shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued as acquisition consideration pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation by the Issuer by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or to a joint venture agreement approved by the board of directors of the Issuer or a committee thereof; (e) shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued in connection with sponsored research, collaboration, technology license, development, OEM, marketing or other similar agreements or strategic partnerships approved by the board of directors of the Issuer or a committee thereof; (f) shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued in a transaction for which an adjustment pursuant to Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate (other than Section 3(b) thereof) occurs; (g) shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities sold in secondary transactions for the account of a securityholder of the Issuer; (h) securities issued prior to the second anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (as defined in the Warrant Certificate) pursuant to any agreement for an at-the-market offering, or an agreement for an equity line of credit, standby equity purchase agreement or similar financing agreement that the Issuer enters into prior to the second anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date; (i) securities issued or issuable pursuant to the Subscription Agreements or the Merger Agreement and securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements or the Merger Agreement and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Closing Date, provided that such securities have not been amended since the Closing Date to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (other than in connection with share consolidations, share divisions and automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such securities) or to extend the term of such securities; or (j) the Underlying Shares (as defined in the Warrant Certificate); provided that any such Exempt Issuance described in (a)-(g) shall not include a transaction in which the Issuer is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital, including issuances under an at-the-market offering, equity line of credit, standby equity purchase agreement or similar financing agreement (unless such issuances under an at-the-market offering, equity line of credit, standby equity purchase agreement or similar financing agreement occurs prior to the second anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date).
22
(d) The Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not, and will cause each affiliate and each person acting at the Investor’s or its affiliates’ direction or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor or its affiliates to not, directly or indirectly offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell or sell any option to purchase, or engage in hedging activities or execute any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, in each case that result in the Investor having a net short cash position in respect of the Securities or any securities of the Issuer from the date hereof until Standstill Termination Date (or such earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Investor from (i) any purchase of securities by the Investor, its affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or any of its affiliates in an open market transaction after the execution of this Subscription Agreement, or (ii) any sale (including the exercise of any redemption right) of securities of the Issuer (A) held by the Investor, its affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or any of its affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (B) purchased by the Investor, its affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or any of its affiliates in an open market transaction after the execution of this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management with the Investor that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of the Investor’s participation in the Transaction (including the Investor’s affiliates, as applicable) from entering into any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and (ii) in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Subscription Agreement and/or makes investments decisions with respect to the Securities held by the Investor.
13. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Subscription Agreement, the following terms have the meanings set forth in this Section 14:
“Business Day” means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close.

PLUSAI HOLDINGS, INC.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK
| Warrant Shares: [_______] | Initial Exercise Date: [●], [●] |
THIS WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK (this “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, [__] or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on [●], 203[_]1 (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from PlusAI Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to [ ] shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”). The purchase price of one Warrant Share under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Schedule A hereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
(a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency that the Company may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), as applicable, of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Not later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i)) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver to the Company the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the exercise on a net-issuance basis procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is available and specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
1 NTD: Five years after Initial Exercise Date.
(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Warrant Share under this Warrant shall be $12.00, subject to adjustment hereunder as set forth in Section 3 (which if adjusted pursuant to Section 3(k), shall in no event be less than the Exercise Price Floor) (the “Exercise Price”).
(c) Net-Issuance Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time on a “net-issuance” basis in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
X = ((A-B) x C) / A
where:
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder on a net-issuance basis;
(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day, (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day or (3) executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day), or (ii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(C) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than on a net-issuance basis.
The number of Warrant Shares that would be surrendered by the Holder in connection with any exercise on a net-issuance basis would be equal to C-X.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised on a net-issuance basis pursuant to this Section 2(c).
(d) Mechanics of Exercise.
(i) Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause its transfer agent to issue the Warrant Shares and thereupon the Warrant Shares to be transmitted to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system if there is an effective resale registration statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder and the Holder is contemporaneously reselling such Warrant Shares pursuant to such resale registration statement, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry of ownership of the Warrant Shares registered on the books of the transfer agent in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the later of (i) the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, and (ii) seven (7) Trading Days after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”); provided, however, in any event, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver Warrant Shares purchased until it has received the aggregate Exercise Price for such Warrant Shares. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the transfer agent to deliver to the Holder or its designee Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to this Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date following the later of the delivery to the Company of (i) the Notice of Exercise, and (ii) the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company (the “Exercise Date”) (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder to the Company) and the Holder or the Holder’s broker on its behalf purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”) but did not receive by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s sole discretion, promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder or its designee such Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 2(d)(i) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased in the Buy-In, less the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in the Buy-In, times (B) the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice promptly after the occurrence of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company.
| 2 |
(ii) Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
(iii) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date (subject to receipt of the aggregate Exercise Price for the applicable exercise), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise prior to the delivery of the Warrant Shares.
(iv) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.
(v) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any capital, stamp, issue, financial transaction and registration or transfer tax or other incidental expense payable in the United States, or in any other jurisdiction in which the Company may be domiciled or resident or to whose taxing jurisdiction it may be generally subject, in respect of the issuance, transfer or delivery of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder (“Specified Taxes”); provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees required for processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms of this Warrant. If the Company shall fail to pay any Specified Taxes, the Holder shall be entitled to tender and pay the same and the Company covenants to reimburse and indemnify the Holder in respect of any payment thereof and any penalties payable in respect thereof.
(e) Entitlement in Respect of Warrant Shares. Warrant Shares issued and delivered on exercise of this Warrant will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the Holder shall be entitled to all rights, distributions or payments in respect of such Warrant Shares from the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for which falls on or after the relevant exercise, except in any such case for any right excluded by mandatory provisions of applicable law. The Holder shall not be entitled to any rights, distributions or payments in respect of any Warrant Shares the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for which falls prior to the date when the Warrant Shares are issued and delivered to the Holder.
| 3 |
(f) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Holder may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to the provisions contained in this Section 2(f); however, the Holder shall not be subject to this Section 2(f) unless he, she or it makes such election. If the election is made, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of 4.9%, 9.9%, 19.9% (or such other amount as the Holder may specify) (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder, its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Warrant Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein that are beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith (other than as it relates to a Holder relying on the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as provided by the Company pursuant to this Section). To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(f) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and, of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable up to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s good faith determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for exercises of this Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for exercises of the Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For purposes of this Section 2(f), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to the Holder, provided, however, that any such increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(f) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
(a) Subdivision, consolidation or reclassification. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) subdivides outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (ii) combines (including by way of a reverse share split) outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iii) issues by reclassification of the Common Stock into any capital shares of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price by the following fraction:
(A/B)
where:
(A) = is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before such subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or such change, as the case may be; and
(B) = is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after such subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or such change, as the case may be.
The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
(b) Adjustment Upon Issuance or Deemed Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever during the period commencing on the execution date of the Subscription Agreement and ending on the Termination Date the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3(b) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding the issuance of shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend, which shall adjust the Exercise Price as provided in Section 3(d)) in a Qualifying Offering for Proceeds at an issuance price (the “New Issuance Price”) less than the Exercise Price then in effect (each such issue, sale or deemed issuance or sale, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the lower of (x) the New Issuance Price and (y) the lowest daily VWAP of the Common Stock during the five (5) Trading Days following the date of such Dilutive Issuance. Notwithstanding Section 3(k), the definition of “Exercise Price,” or any other provision of this Warrant, the Exercise Price Floor shall not apply to, and shall not limit, any reduction in the Exercise Price made pursuant to this Section 3(b).
For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 3(b), the following shall be applicable:
(i) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:
(1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by
(2) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii) upon the issuance of such Options or Convertible Securities.
(ii) Deemed Issuance of Common Stock Subject to Options and Convertible Securities.
(1) If the Company at any time or from time to time shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.
| 5 |
(2) If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time (other than (x) proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 3(a) above and (y) automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price, which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(b)(ii)(2), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Initial Exercise Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(b)(ii)(2) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.
(iii) Calculation of Consideration Received.
(1) In case one or more Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) each such Option will be deemed to have been issued for the Option Value of such Option and (y) the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued or sold for the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company less any consideration paid or payable by the Company pursuant to the terms of such other securities of the Company, less (II) the Option Value of each such Options; provided, that, no share of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued for less than a fraction of the aggregate consideration received (excluding the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of any such Options, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities) equal to (A) one divided by (B) the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in the integrated transaction (including the number of shares underlying any Options and Convertible Securities).
(2) If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the closing sale price of such publicly traded securities on the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the holders of a majority in interest of this Warrant and the other common stock purchase warrants with substantially the same terms as this Warrant, with an initial exercise price of $12.00 per share, issued on the Initial Exercise Date, and then outstanding. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the holders of a majority in interest of this Warrant and the other common stock purchase warrants, with an initial exercise price of $12.00 per share, issued on the Initial Exercise Date, and then outstanding. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
| 6 |
(iv) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(v) Expiration or Termination of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Securities (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of Section 3(b), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to such Exercise Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Securities (or portion thereof) never been issued.
(c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(b) above, if at any time after the Initial Exercise Date the Company grants, issues or sells pro rata to the record holders of shares of Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (“Purchase Rights”) at a price per share of Common Stock that is less than the VWAP of the Common Stock for the twenty Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such Purchase Rights (the “Record Date”) , then in each case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
EP1 = EP0 x (OS0 + Y) / (OS0 + X)
where:
EP0 is the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for the issuance of such Purchase Rights;
EP1 is the Exercise Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for the issuance of such Purchase Rights;
OS0 is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for the issuance of such Purchase Rights;
X is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock deliverable pursuant to such Purchase Rights; and
Y is the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the aggregate price payable to exercise such Purchase Rights, divided by (ii) the VWAP for the Common Stock for the twenty Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such Purchase Rights.
Any adjustment to the Exercise Price made under this Section 3(c) shall be made successively whenever any such Purchase Rights are issued and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for the issuance of such Purchase Rights. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such Purchase Rights, the Exercise Price shall be increased to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect had the decrease with respect to the issuance of such Purchase Rights been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such Purchase Rights are not so issued, the Exercise Price shall be increased to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect if the Record Date for the issuance of such Purchase Rights had not occurred.
| 7 |
For purposes of this Section 3(c), in determining whether any Purchase Rights entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share of Common Stock that is less than the VWAP of the Common Stock for the twenty Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such Purchase Rights, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such Purchase Rights and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(d) Adjustment for Dividends. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price by the following fraction:
A - B
A
where:
(A) = is the VWAP of one Warrant Share on the Ex Date in respect of such Distribution; and
(B) = is the portion of the Fair Market Value of the Distribution attributable to one Warrant Share, with such portion being determined by dividing the Fair Market Value of the Distribution by the number of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution.
(e) Fundamental Transaction.
(i) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (and all of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions (other than to the Company or a subsidiary of the Company), (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of shares 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 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the shares of Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a share subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 3(a)), or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a share or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such share or share purchase agreement or other business combination) or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(f) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(f) on the exercise of this Warrant). For the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall be deemed not to be a Fundamental Transaction.
| 8 |
(ii) 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 shares 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction in which less than seventy percent (70%) of the consideration receivable by the holders of shares of Common Stock in the applicable Fundamental Transaction is payable in the form of common equity of the Company or in the Successor Entity (or any holding company that owns 100% of the common equity interests of the Company or the Successor Entity, as applicable) that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted prior to or immediately following such Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable concurrently with the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the later of (i) the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and (ii) within 30 days of the earlier of (A) the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction and (B) the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, that if holders of shares of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received shares of Common Stock or common stock of the Successor Entity (which Successor Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five Business Days of the Holder’s election and (ii) the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction.
(iii) The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of capital shares of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Warrant Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, (and solely if the holders of the Common Stock (and Common Stock Equivalents) immediately prior to consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction do not beneficially own upon consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, directly or indirectly (including through any one or more holding companies that owns 100% of the common equity interests of the Company or the Successor Entity), at least 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company or the Successor Entity, as applicable, with an exercise price which applies the Exercise Price hereunder to the shares of capital stock received by holders of shares of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, but taking into account the relative value of the Warrant Shares and the value of such capital shares and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder.
(f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
(g) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased 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 (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein).
| 9 |
(h) Notice to Holder.
(i) Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(ii) Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the shares of Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a redemption of the shares of Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of shares of Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital shares of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the shares of Common Stock are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the shares of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the shares of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice delivery requirement hereunder shall also be deemed satisfied by filing or furnishing such communication with the Commission via the EDGAR system; provided, further, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K, unless determined by the Company that such filing would be harmful to the Company at such time, in which case the Company shall file such Form 8-K as soon as is reasonably practicable in its discretion. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
(i) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.
(j) Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be made as a result of the Transaction.
(k) VWAP Exercise Price Reset.
(i) Reset Mechanics. On each date that is a nine (9)-month anniversary of the Closing Date (each, a “Reset Date”), the Company shall determine the lowest daily VWAP of the Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on (and including) such Reset Date, subject to Section 3(k)(iv) (the “Reset Price”). If the Reset Price is less than the Exercise Price then in effect, then, effective as of the close of business on the applicable Reset Date, the Exercise Price shall be automatically adjusted (without any action by the Holder) to equal the greater of (x) the Reset Price and (y) the Exercise Price Floor; provided, that in no event shall this Section 3(k) result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect. Simultaneously with any such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 3(g) such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall remain unchanged. The Company shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day following each Reset Date) deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth: (1) the Reset Price; (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Reset Date; (3) the adjusted Exercise Price and the resulting number of Warrant Shares, in each case after giving effect to the reset (if applicable); and (4) the effective date of the adjustment.
| 10 |
(ii) Floor. In no event shall the Exercise Price resulting from the adjustment in this Section 3(k) be less than the Exercise Price Floor. If the Reset Price is less than the Exercise Price Floor, the Exercise Price resulting from the adjustment described in Section 3(k)(i) shall be deemed to equal (and shall not be less than) the Exercise Price Floor.
(iii) Adjustment for Concurrent Events. If the Company effects any stock split, subdivision, combination, stock dividend or other event of the type described in Section 3(a) with an effective date occurring during the five (5) Trading Days used to calculate the Reset Price (subject to Section 3(k)(iv)), the daily VWAP for each Trading Day in such period occurring before the effective date of such event shall be equitably adjusted, as determined by the Company, to reflect such event, so that the Reset Price is calculated on a consistent capital structure basis throughout the measurement period. Any Distribution of the type described in Section 3(d) with an Ex Date occurring during such measurement period shall be equitably taken into account by the Company in determining the Reset Price, applied on a basis consistent with the adjustment methodology set forth in Section 3(d).
(iv) Anti-Manipulation. If the Holder reasonably determines, with respect to any Reset Date, that trading in the Common Stock during any Trading Day within the measurement period used to calculate the Reset Price was subject to a Market Disruption Event or was otherwise manipulated so as to distort the Reset Price, the Holder shall exclude such Trading Day from the calculation of the Reset Price and shall extend the measurement period by one additional Trading Day for each Trading Day so excluded (in which event, the applicable Reset Date shall be deemed to occur on the last Trading Day of any such extended measurement period). Any determination made by the Holder under this Section 3(k)(iv) shall be final and binding on the Company and the Holder absent manifest error.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
(a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
(b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto, and if applicable, shall reflect any adjustment to the Exercise Price prior to the date of such transfer or exchange.
(c) Warrant Register. 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.
| 11 |
(d) Transfer Restrictions. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares may only be transferred in compliance with U.S. state and federal securities laws and, if the transfer occurs on or prior to the Termination Date, subject to the transferee agreeing to restrictions consistent with Section 12(c) of the Subscription Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company as a condition to such transfer. In connection with any transfer of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, the Company may require the transferor to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act.
(e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as a Holder of Warrant Shares Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any rights as a holder of shares of Common Stock prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).
(b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any certificate evidencing ownership of Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or share certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or share certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or share certificate.
(c) 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 not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
(d) Provision for Issuance of Underlying Shares.
(i) The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized but unissued Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant (without regard to any limitation on exercise set forth herein) (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
| 12 |
(ii) If, notwithstanding Section 5(d)(i) above, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock (not reserved for issuances other than upon exercise of the Warrants) to satisfy its obligation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock upon an exercise of this Warrant due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorization Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorization Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the cancellation of such portion of this Warrant exercisable into such Authorization Failure Shares at a price equal to the product of (x) such number of Authorization Failure Shares and (y) the greatest closing sale price of the shares of Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Exercise Notice with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 5(d)(ii). Nothing contained in this Section 5(d) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Subscription Agreement.
(iii) The Company will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
(iv) Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
(e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, New York for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of this Warrant), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, then the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.
(f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
| 13 |
(g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
(h) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email at the e-mail address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto, or to such other address as the Company or the Holder may indicate by a notice delivered to the other from time to time, at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email attachment at the e-mail address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto, or to such other address as the Company or the Holder may indicate by a notice delivered to the other from time to time.
(i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any shares of Common Stock or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
(l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified, waived or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
(m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
(n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
