(b) With respect to the Purchased Shares acquired by Purchaser and the common stock of the Seller issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (“Warrant Shares”), Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Purchased Shares nor the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) and are “Restricted Securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. As such, neither the Purchased Shares nor the Warrant Shares may be resold in or transferred unless Seller registers them under Section 5 of the Securities Act, or has received an opinion of counsel to Purchaser or any successor in interest thereto reasonably satisfactory to Seller that such resale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Purchaser understands that no assurance can be given that such a trading market will further develop at any time, or, if so developed, that it will continue;

 

(c) Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that its purchase of the Purchased Shares and of the Warrants involves risks. Purchaser: (i) either alone or together with its representatives has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment, and make an informed decision to so invest, and has so evaluated the risks and merits of such investment; (ii) has the ability to bear the economic risks of this investment for an indefinite period and can afford a complete loss of such investment; (iii) understands the terms of, and the risks associated with the acquisition of the Purchased Shares and of the Warrants, including, without limitation, a lack of liquidity, price transparency or pricing availability and risks associated with the industry in which Seller operates; (iv) has had the opportunity to review such disclosures regarding Sellers’s business, financial condition and prospects as Purchaser has determined to be necessary in connection with the acquisition of the Purchased Shares and of the Warrants, including Seller’s public filings of Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K with the Commission, and the risk factors set forth therein, (v) has had the opportunity to review the Form 8-K that Seller filed with the Commission on December 31, 2015 pursuant to which it advised the public that that the previously issued audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2015 and the unaudited financial statements for the interim periods ended July 31, 2015 and October 31, 2015 should no longer be relied upon and that disclosure should be made to prevent future reliance on these financial statements and that Purchaser is aware that the items listed in such Form 8-K are preliminary and subject to change and that there can be no assurance that the final adjustments in the financial statements being restated will not differ materially from the estimated amounts set forth therein or that additional adjustments will not be identified; (vi) is an “accredited investor" as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under Securities Act; (vii) acknowledges and agrees that the Purchased Shares and the Warrants are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Seller is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the Purchased Shares and the Warrants; and (viii) understands and acknowledges that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

Purchaser has had the opportunity to review all of the books, records and all Commission filings of Seller, including all of Seller’s audited financial statements and disclosures, the above referenced Form 8-K and risk factors that Seller has published concerning its operations as a company reporting to the Commission;

 

(e) Purchaser is acquiring the Purchased Shares and Warrants for its own account, and not with a view towards a public distribution of those Purchased Shares and Warrants as an underwriter for Seller, as that term is defined in the Securities Act. Purchaser acknowledges that it is not acquiring the Purchased Shares and Warrants as the result of any advertisement or solicitation, including any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase from Seller regarding Purchaser’s investment pursuant to this Agreement; and

 

(f) Purchaser represents that Purchaser is familiar with the requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby. Purchaser understands that Seller is under no obligation to register any of the Purchased Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares. Purchaser acknowledges that the certificates for the Purchased Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares will bear a legend substantially in the form set forth below:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

 

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while these Warrants are outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock; (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

 

(b) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while these Warrants are outstanding there is a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of these Warrants, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Securities then issuable upon exercise in full of these Warrants (“Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.

(c) Adjustments for Other Distributions. In the event the Company shall declare a distribution on the outstanding Common Stock that is payable in securities of other Persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other Persons, assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions to the holders of Common Stock paid out of current or retained earnings and declared by the Company’s Board of Directors) or options or rights, then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 9(c), upon exercise of any Warrants, the Holder shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though the Holder was the actual record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which might have been purchased upon exercise of any Warrants immediately prior to the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Company entitled to receive such distribution (or the date of such distribution if no record date is fixed).

 

(d) Number of Warrant Securities. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 9, the number of Warrant Securities that may be purchased upon exercise of these Warrants shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Securities shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

 

(f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant Agreement and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Securities or other securities issuable upon exercise of these Warrants (as applicable). Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder.

 

10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one of the following manners:

 

(a) Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately available funds; or

 

(b) Cashless Exercise. The Holder may notify the Company in an Exercise Notice of its election to utilize cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Securities determined as follows:

 

X = Y(A-B)/A

 

where:

 

X = the number of Warrant Securities to be issued to the Holder.

 

Y = the number of Warrant Securities with respect to which these Warrants are being exercised (inclusive of the Warrant Securities surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price).

 

A = the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.

 

B = the Exercise Price.

 

14
 

 

The term “Closing Sale Price” means, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price and last closing trade price, respectively, for such security on the Trading Market, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Trading Market operates on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing bid price or the closing trade price, as the case may be, then the last bid price or the last trade price, respectively, of such security prior to 4:00:00 p.m., New York City time, as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in the OTC Link by OTC Markets Group Inc.. If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Registered Holder. If the Company and the Registered Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 14(b) hereof. All such determinations are to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

 

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Securities issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Securities shall be deemed to have commenced, on the Original Issue Date appearing on page one.

 

11. Limitations on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Warrant Securities that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of these Warrants (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant Agreement: (i) no term of this Section 11 may be waived by any party, nor may any term of this Section 11 be amended such that the threshold percentage of ownership as set forth above would be directly or indirectly increased; (ii) this restriction runs with these Warrants and may not be modified or waived by any subsequent Holder hereof; and (iii) any attempted waiver, modification or amendment of this Section 11 will be void ab initio.

 

12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Securities will be issued in connection with any exercise of these Warrants. In lieu of any fractional shares, which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price of one share of Common Stock as reported by the applicable Trading Market on the date of exercise.

 

13. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section 13 prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on a Trading Day; (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section 13 on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service; or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to the Company, to PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc., 12510 Prosperity Drive, Suite 310, Silver Spring, Maryland 20904, Attention: Chief Executive Officer (or such other address as the Company shall indicate in writing in accordance with this Section 13), or via facsimile to (631) 240-8900, or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with this Section 13.
