COMPLIANCE SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation:

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Compliance Systems Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

 

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.  The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on April 16, 2012.

 

The Company’s current business plan is to attempt to identify and negotiate with business targets for mergers of those entities with and into the Company.   No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in identifying or negotiating with any target company.

 

2. Liquidity and Going Concern:

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered continued losses from operations since its inception. At March 31, 2012, the Company had stockholders’ and working capital deficiencies of approximately $3.26 million and $3.25 million, respectively.

 

Management believes the Company will continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the foreseeable future and will need additional equity or debt financing to sustain its operations until it can achieve profitability and positive cash flows, if ever. Management plans to seek additional debt and/or equity financing for the Company, but cannot assure that such financing will be available on acceptable terms. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to ultimately attain profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, and obtain additional financing as may be required. The outcome of this uncertainty cannot be assured.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

3. Significant Accounting Policies Applicable to Interim Financial Statements:

 

A.   Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to dilutive convertible securities, options, warrants and other potential common stock outstanding during the period, only in periods in which such effect is dilutive.   The following securities have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

 

   March 31, 2012   March 31, 2011 
Preferred stock   587,231,900    562,231,900 
Warrants   230,986,100    134,307,500 
Stock options   10,000,000    40,000,000 

 

B.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Substantially all of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and all debt, are carried at, or approximate, fair value because of their short-term nature or because they carry market rates of interest.  The warrant liability was valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  See Note 7F.

 

C.  Stock Based Compensation Arrangements

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).  This guidance addresses all forms of share-based payment awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights, as well as share grants and other awards issued to employees and non-employees under free-standing arrangements.  These awards are recorded at costs that are measured at fair value on the awards’ grant dates, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in charges to operations.

 

The Company valued these issuances utilizing a Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:  share price, exercise price, expected volatility, risk-free rate and term.

 

The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method is based on the implied yield currently available in U.S. Treasury securities at maturity with an equivalent term.  The Company has not declared or paid any dividends and does not currently expect to do so in the future.  The expected term of options represents the period that its stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on projected holding periods for the remaining unexercised shares.  Consideration was given to the contractual terms of its stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior.  The volatility rate used was based upon an average volatility rate for two entities providing telecommunications.  The Company did not use the volatility rate for Company Common Stock as the Company Common Stock had not been trading for the sufficient length of time to accurately compute its volatility when these warrants were issued.

 

From time to time, the Company’s shares of common stock and warrants have been issued as payment to employees and non-employees for services. These are non-cash transactions that require management to make judgments related to the fair value of the shares issued, which affects the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for certain of its assets and expenses.

 

Share based compensation amounted to $256 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

D.   Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing.

B. Promissory Note – John Koehler (“Koehler”)

 

On October 1, 2003, the predecessor to Execuserve issued a $150,000 non-interest bearing promissory note to Koehler, an investor in the predecessor.  The note was amended on October 25, 2004.  Upon the acquisition of Execuserve by the Company, Koehler was owed $37,000 and was to be repaid in monthly installments of $1,000.  The Company is in default as it has not made a payment since September 2010.  The balance due to Koehler at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 totaled $30,000.

Effective April 1, 2012, Brookstein agreed to continue deferring his full salary.  The amount of such deferred salaries for the three months ending June 30, 2012 will total $60,000.  As compensation, the Company granted to Brookstein 2012 Deferred Salary Warrants to purchase 6 million shares of Company Common Stock at $0.001 per Deferred Salary Warrant Share at the rate of 100 Deferred Salary Warrants for each $1 of deferred salary for a term of five years.

 

B.  Issuance of Dividend Accrual Warrants – Series B Senior Subordinated Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”)

 

The Company has failed to pay dividends on the 1.25 million outstanding shares of its Series B Preferred Stock.  Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock may only be paid out of funds legally available for such purpose.  Under Nevada law, generally, a corporation’s distribution to stockholders may only be made if, after giving effect to such distribution, (i) the corporation would be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of action and (ii) the corporation’s total assets equal or exceed the sum of the corporation’s liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation was to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

All of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are held by Brookstein and Spirits Management, Inc. ("Spirits"), a company wholly-owned by Brookstein. Although the Company has been and currently is unable to pay the Series B Preferred Stock dividends when due, the dividends have been and are continuing to be accrued until such time as the monthly dividends can lawfully be paid under Nevada law.

 

The Company deferred dividends totaling $37,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, $15,000 due to Brookstein, and $22,500 due to Spirits.  To compensate Brookstein and Spirits for the failure to pay dividends when due, the Company agreed to grant five-year warrants (each, a “Dividend Accrual Warrant”) to purchase shares (each, a “Dividend Accrual Warrant Share”) of Company Common Stock to such holders at $0.001 per Dividend Accrual Warrant Share at a rate of 100 Dividend Accrual Warrants for every $1 of dividend accrued during the prior three month period.  The Company issued Dividend Accrual Warrants totaling 1.5 million to Brookstein and 2.25 million to Spirits for the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively.  The Company valued these issuances using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: share price:  $0.0006; strike price: $0.001; expected volatility: 27%; risk free interest rate: 1.04%; term: 5 years.

 

For each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, dividends related to the Series B Preferred Stock totaled $37,500.  Accrued dividends totaled $487,500 and $450,000 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.

C.  Issuance of Dividend Accrual Warrants - Series D Senior Convertible Voting Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) –

 

The Company has failed to pay dividends on the 50,000 outstanding shares of its Series D Preferred Stock.  As with the Series B Preferred Stock Discussed above, dividends may only be paid out of funds legally available for such purpose.

 

The Company deferred dividends totaling $1,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.   To compensate Brookstein for the failure to pay dividends when due, the Company agreed to grant five-year warrants (each, a “Dividend Accrual Warrant”) to purchase shares (each, a “Dividend Accrual Warrant Share”) of Company Common Stock to such holders at $0.001 per Dividend Accrual Warrant Share at a rate of 100 Dividend Accrual Warrants for every $1 of dividend accrued during the prior three month period.  The Company issued Dividend Accrual Warrants totaling 150,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The Company valued these issuances using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: share price:  $0.0006; strike price: $0.001; expected volatility: 27%; risk free interest rate: 1.04%; term: 5 years

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, dividends related to the Series D Preferred Stock totaled $1,500 and $0, respectively.  Accrued dividends totaled $5,786 and $4,286 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

D.  Issuance of Deferred Interest Payment Warrants –

 

The Company continued to fail to pay interest on the promissory notes that were previously issued to Brookstein, Ponzio and Nascap (the “Note Holders”).  To compensate the Note Holders for the failure to pay interest on their promissory notes in the first quarter of 2012, the Company granted to such Note Holders warrants (each, a “Deferred Interest Payment Warrant”) to purchase shares of Common Stock at the rate of 100 Deferred Interest Payment Warrants for every $1 of interest not paid.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012, 1,950,000 Deferred Interest Payment Warrants were issued and have terms substantially identical to the Deferred Salary Warrants and Dividend Accrual Warrants. The Company valued these issuances using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: share price:  $0.0003; strike price: $0.001; expected volatility: 27%; risk free interest rate: 2.01 %; term: 5 years

 

The Company will not pay interest to the Note Holders in the second quarter of 2012.  To compensate them, the Company granted Deferred Interest Payment Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at the rate of 100 Deferred Interest Payment Warrants for every $1 of interest not paid.  The Company issued a total of 1,950,000 Deferred Interest Payment Warrants on April 1, 2012.

E .  Warrant Exchange Agreements –

 

The Company entered into separate warrant exchange agreements with Brookstein, Spirits, Garfinkel, Ponzio and Nascap to purchase an aggregate of 128.13 million shares of Company Common Stock.  The warrant holders included the Company’s chairman of the board, chief executive officer and chief financial officer and a company in which such officer is the sole equity owner, as well as the Company’s former president and chief executive officer.  Each of the warrant exchange agreements were dated as of May 12, 2011 and provided for the exchange of the warrants then held by such warrant holders (the “Old Warrants”) for new warrants (the “New Warrants”).  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of the Old Warrants.  The Old Warrants had exercise prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.001 per share (a weighted average exercise price of $0.022 per share) and had exercise periods expiring from June 23, 2014 through March 31, 2016 (typically, five years after the date of issuance of the subject warrants).  However, the Old Warrants contained certain anti-dilution provisions which caused the effective exercise prices to be reduced to less than $0.001 per share.  The New Warrants all have an exercise price of $0.001 per share and expire on May 11, 2016.  The New Warrants contain cashless exercise provisions.  The anti-dilution provisions of the New Warrants are primarily limited to stock splits and corporate transactions involving mergers and consolidations while the Old Warrants contained anti-dilution provisions that caused the reduction in the exercise prices of the Old Warrants whenever the Company issued stock or derivative securities with an effective purchase price less than the then exercise price of the subject Old Warrants.  The Company had issued the Old Warrants in connection with the (x) accrual of dividends due on preferred stock of the Company owned by certain of the warrant holders, (y) deferral of the payment of interest due on promissory notes of the Company owned by certain of the warrant holders and (z) deferral of salary due certain of the warrant holders in their capacities as executive officers of the Company.

 

As the New Warrants contain “cashless exercise” provisions, the value of the New Warrants were recognized as liabilities and not as part of stockholders’ deficiency.  In addition, the Company is required to revalue the New Warrants at the end of each reporting period with the change in value reported on the statement of operations.  The Company valued these issuances using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions at March 31, 2012: share price:  $0.0006; strike price: $0.001; expected volatility: 27%; risk free interest rate: 1.04%; term: 5 years.  The Company recognized a loss on the value of the New Warrants of $5,411 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

  

9. Subsequent Event:

 

On April 6, 2012, the Company signed a one month financial marketing consulting agreement for investor relations services for total fees of $41,000. The Company remitted $6,000 towards amounts owed under the agreement.

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Forward-looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performances, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned to review carefully all discussions containing forward-looking statements due to the risks and uncertainties which can materially affect the Company's business, operations, financial condition and future prospects. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seek,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “assume,” "hope," “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “approximate,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of such terms.  Statements including these words and variations of such words, and other similar expressions, are forward-looking statements.  Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable based upon its knowledge of its business and industry, the Company cannot predict or guarantee its future results, levels of activity, performances or achievements, or that such expectations will otherwise be realized.  Moreover, neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such statements.

 

Forward-looking statements represent the Company's expectations and beliefs concerning future events, based on information available to the Company as of the date of this Form 10-Q, and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include without limitation:

● the Company’s ability to raise capital to finance its operations and growth, when needed and terms advantageous to the Company;

● the Company’s ability to locate and acquire appropriate business enterprises to supplement and enhance our revenue and cash flow;

● the ability to manage growth, profitability and the marketability of our services;

● the effect on our business of recent credit-tightening throughout the United States, especially within the construction and real estate markets;

● the effect on our business of recently reported losses within the financial, banking and other industries and the effect of such losses on the income and financial condition of our potential clients;

● adverse results of any legal proceedings;

● the Company’s ability to enter into relationships with suppliers, vendors or contractors of acceptable quality of goods and services on terms advantageous to us;

● the volatility of our operating results and financial condition;

● the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified senior management personnel; and

● other risks and uncertainties set forth in this Form 10-Q, the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and, from time to time, in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should carefully consider such risks, uncertainties and other information, disclosures and discussions which contain cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those provided in forward-looking statements.  Readers should not place any undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q.  The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, unforeseen events or changed circumstances, except as required to comply with the disclosure requirements of the federal securities laws.

 

Overview and Recent Developments

 

The Company’s current business plan is to attempt to identify and negotiate with business targets for mergers of those entities with and into the Company.   No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in identifying or negotiating with any target company.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) with certain amounts based on management’s best estimates and judgments. To determine appropriate carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources, management uses assumptions based on historical results and other factors that they believe are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.  There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company’s continued losses and negative operating cash flows raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s primary need for cash during the next twelve months is to fund payments of operating costs. Historically, the Company has relied upon private debt and equity financing to fund its operations and expects to continue to do so.  Our auditors included a “going concern” qualification in their auditors’ report for the year ended December 31, 2011. Such “going concern” qualification may make it more difficult for us to raise funds when needed. The current economic environment is impacting the Company’s ability to obtain any needed financing.  No assurance can be given that financing will be available when needed or, if available, such financing will be on terms beneficial to the Company.

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 (“2012”) Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 (“2011”)

 

Selling and general and administrative expenses consist primarily of officer’s salary and professional fees for accounting and auditing services, legal fees and insurance costs.  Selling and general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $127,163 and $120,934, respectively. Operating expenses consist of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

   2012   2011 
Officer’s salary  $60,000   $60,000 
Payroll taxes and insurance   10,096    9,242 
Professional fees   51,875    28,563 
Other   5,192    23,129 
           
Total  $127,163   $120,934 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, interest expense amounted to $19,755 and $21,884, respectively. Interest expense relates primarily to amounts owed on our various debt arrangements.

 

13
 

 

For the reasons set forth above, the Company’s 2012 net loss for the three month period increased by $9,511 to $152,329 in 2012 from $142,818 in 2011.

 

Dividends of $39,000 were accrued on the Series B Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Dividends of $37,500 were accrued on the Series B Preferred Stock for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The dividends are taken into account when computing loss per common share.  Accrued dividends total $487,500 at March 31, 2012.

 

The Company’s annual effective tax rate was estimated to be 0% for both 2012 and 2011. Accordingly, no tax benefit or cost was recognized in either of such periods.  During the current and prior periods, the Company did not record an income tax benefit for net deferred tax assets generated due to the uncertainty of their realization.

 

Warrant Exchange

 

On May 12, 2011, the Company exchanged warrants (the “Old Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 128.13 million shares of our Common Stock, with exercise prices ranging between $0.05 and $0.001 per share and expiration dates between June 23, 2014 and March 31, 2016, for new warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase the same number of shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share and having an expiration date of May 11, 2016.  The New Warrants, which all expire on May 11, 2016, permit “cashless exercise,” a right which was not provided for in the Old Warrants.  The New Warrants also contain anti-dilution provisions that are not as advantageous to the warrant holders as the anti-dilution provisions applicable to the Old Warrants.

 

As the New Warrants contain “cashless exercise” provisions, the value of the New Warrants were recognized as liabilities and not as part of stockholders’ deficiency.  In addition, the Company is required to revalue the New Warrants at the end of each reporting period with the change in value reported on the statement of operations.  The Company valued these issuances using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognized a loss on the value of the New Warrants of $5,411 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2012 we had a cash balance of $279 compared to $529 at December 31, 2011.

 

Cash used in operating activities of $51,564.  The decrease in cash was primarily attributable to funding the loss for the period.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $51,314.  The Company received working capital loans of $51,314 including loans from Brookstein of $1,314.

 

The Company’s primary need for cash during the next twelve months is to fund payments of operating costs. In addition, the Company is presently in negotiations to obtain additional financing to fund operations.

 

The Company’s current business plan is to attempt to identify and negotiate with business targets for mergers of those entities with and into the Company. The Company’s expected expenses are comprised of operating expenses related to the business plan as well as those that enable the Company to satisfy the requirements of a reporting company. No assurance can be given that financing will be available when needed or, if available, such financing will be on terms beneficial to the Company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2012, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

This item is not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management conducted an evaluation, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer (CEO)/Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO/CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

Management’s Quarterly Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for the preparation of our financial statements and related information. Management uses its best judgment to ensure that the financial statements present fairly, in material respects, our financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision of management, including the CEO/CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission published in 1992 and subsequent guidance prepared by the Commission specifically for smaller public companies. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2012.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, transactions and dispositions of assets; and provide reasonable assurances that: (1) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; (2) receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of our Company; and (3) unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements are prevented or timely detected.

 

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter to which this quarterly report on Form 10-Q relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we intend to continue to educate our management personnel to comply with U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements and to increase management oversight of accounting and reporting functions in the future.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT CERTIFICATE

 

1,500,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

Huntington, New York

Warrant Certificate Number: 2011C-028 As of March 31, 2012

 

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, Barry M. Brookstein (the “Warrantholder”), is the registered owner of the number of common stock purchase warrants (each, a “Warrant”) of Compliance Systems Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), set forth above, each Warrant entitling the owner thereof to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of $0.001 per Warrant (the “Purchase Price”), as adjusted from time to time in accordance with section 3 of this Warrant Certificate, at any time on or after the Commencement Date (as defined in paragraph 1(b) below) and terminating at 5:00 p.m., Huntington, New York time, on March 30, 2017 (the “Expiration Time”), one duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share (each, a “Warrant Share”) of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein. The number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate (and the number and kind of securities which may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants), and the Purchase Price per Warrant Share, each as set forth above, are as of the date hereof. As provided herein, the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities which may be purchased upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are, upon the happening of certain events, subject to modification and adjustment.

 

This Warrant Certificate, together with any warrant certificate(s) issued in replacement or substitution hereof (as provided for herein) evidencing all or part of the Warrants evidenced hereby, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Warrant Certificates.”

 

The rights of the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to the following further terms and conditions:

 

1.           Exercise of Warrants.

 

(a)        The Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, during the period commencing on the Commencement Date and terminating at the Expiration Time by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the Exercise Form provided for herein duly completed and executed by the Warrantholder or by the Warrantholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact, at the principal office of the Company, presently located at 780 New York Avenue - Suite A, Huntington, New York 11743, or at such other office or agency in the United States as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder (in either event, the “Company Offices”), accompanied by payment in full, either in the form of cash, bank cashier’s check or certified check payable to the order of the Company, of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the Warrants being exercised.

 

 
 

  

(b)        For purposes of this Warrant Certificate, the term “Commencement Date” shall mean September 30, 2011.

 

(c)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph 1(a), payment of the applicable Purchase Price may be made by means of a “cashless exercise” through the surrender of the number of Warrants and receipt of the number of shares of Common Stock (in each case, as adjusted to reflect the provisions of section 3), determined based upon the following formula:

 

X =       Y(A-B)

   A

where:   X =        the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Warrantholder upon exercise pursuant to this paragraph 1(c);

Y =       the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants so surrender, without giving effect to this paragraph 1(c);

A =      the per share Current Market Price (as such term is defined in paragraph 3(e)) on the date of delivery to the Company at the Company Offices of this Warrant Certificate and completed Exercise Form; and

B =       the Purchase Price in effect on the date of delivery to the Company at the Company Offices of this Warrant Certificate and completed Exercise Form.

  

(d)        On the day immediately following the date of a valid exercise of any Warrants, the Warrantholder exercising such Warrant(s) shall be deemed to have become the holder of record for all purposes of the Warrant Shares to which such valid exercise relates.

 

(e)        As soon as practicable, but not in excess of five days, after the valid exercise of all or part of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Company, at the Company’s expense (including the payment by Company of any applicable issuance and similar taxes), will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrantholder, or such other party identified in the purchase form, certificates evidencing the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares to which the Warrantholder, or such other party identified in the Exercise Form, shall be entitled upon such exercise, as adjusted to reflect the effects, if any, of the anti-dilution provisions of section 3 of this Warrant Certificate, such certificates to be in such reasonable denominations as Holder shall request when delivering the duly completed Exercise Form.

 

(f)        No certificates for fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of any of the Warrants but, in lieu thereof, the Company shall, upon exercise of all the Warrants, round up any fractional Warrant Shares to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.

 

(g)        If fewer than all of the Warrants are exercised, the Company shall, upon each exercise prior to the Expiration Time, execute and deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant Certificate (dated as of the date hereof) evidencing the balance of the Warrants that remain exercisable.

 

2.           Issuance of Common Stock; Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that:

 

(a)        All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all or part of the Warrants will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof;

(b)        At all times prior to the Expiration Time, the Company shall keep reserved for issuance a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to permit the exercise in full of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate; and

(c)        If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants require registration with, or approval of, any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will promptly use its best efforts to effect such registration or obtain such approval, as the case may be.

3.           Adjustments of Purchase Price, Number and Character of Warrant Shares, Number of Warrants. The Purchase Price and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of the events enumerated in this section 3.

 

(a)         Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. In case the Company shall at any time on or before the Expiration Time:

(i)          pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock or such other stock to holders of all its outstanding shares of Common Stock;

(ii)        subdivide, reclassify or recapitalize the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

(iii)       combine, reclassify or recapitalize the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock; or

(iv)        issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock into any other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation);

then the number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which the Warrantholder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior to the earlier of the happening of such event or any record date in respect thereto. In the event of any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each then outstanding Warrant pursuant to this paragraph 3(a), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the amount resulting from dividing the number of shares of Common Stock (including fractional shares of Common Stock) covered by such Warrant immediately after such adjustment into the total amount payable upon exercise of such Warrant in full immediately prior to such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date for any such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph 3(a) shall occur.

 

(b)       Extraordinary Dividends. In case the Company shall, at any time on or before the Expiration Time, fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options, or warrants to all holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, entitling such holders (for a period expiring within 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share of Common Stock (or having an exchange or conversion price per share of Common Stock, with respect to a security exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) which is lower than the Purchase Price on such record date, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted so that the Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so to be offered (or the aggregate initial exchange or conversion price of the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at the Purchase Price and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered are initially exchangeable or convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on such record date; provided, however, to the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options, or warrants, the Purchase Price shall be readjusted (but only with respect to Warrants exercised after such expiration) to the Purchase Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options, or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) actually issued. In case any subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and shall be described in a statement mailed to the Warrantholder. Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

3
 

  

(c)       Extraordinary Distributions. In case the Company shall, at any time on or before the Expiration Time, distribute to all holders of shares of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends and distributions payable out of consolidated net income or earned surplus in accordance with Nevada law and dividends or distributions payable in shares of stock described in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate) or rights, options, or warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock), then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such distribution by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the Purchase Price as in effect on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so to be distributed or of such rights, options or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock and (ii) the denominator shall be the Purchase Price as in effect on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for such transaction.

 

(d)       Capital Reorganizations and Other Reclassifications. In case of any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock (other than a reclassification, subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock referred to in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate), or in case of the consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other corporation (other than a reclassification of the shares of Common Stock referred to in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate or a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) or of the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation or entity occurring on or before the Expiration Time, each Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale, be exercisable, upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant Certificate, for the kind, amount and number of shares or other securities, assets, or cash to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable (at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger or sale) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth in this section 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly equivalent as possible, to any shares or other securities, assets, or cash thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, or sale, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation or entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation or entity purchasing such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder such shares, securities, assets, or cash as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to purchase and the other obligations hereunder. The subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares shall not be deemed to be a reclassification of the shares of Common Stock for purposes of this paragraph 3(d).

 

(e)       Minimum Adjustment. Except as hereinafter provided, no adjustment of the Purchase Price hereunder shall be made if such adjustment results in a change of the Purchase Price then in effect of less than one cent ($.001) per share. Any adjustment of less than one-tenth of one cent ($.001) per share of any Purchase Price shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, amounts to one-tenth of one cent ($.001) per share or more. However, upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall make all necessary adjustments (to the nearest one-tenth of a cent) not theretofore made to the Purchase Price up to and including the effective date upon which this Warrant Certificate is exercised.

 

(f)       Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Purchase Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the Company made any determination hereunder), by first class mail postage prepaid to the Warrantholder.

(g)       Adjustments to Other Securities. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this section 3, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any shares or securities of the Company other than the shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares or securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the purchase price for such shares or securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as possible to the provisions with respect to the shares of Common Stock contained in paragraphs 3(a), 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d) of this Warrant Certificate.

 

(h)       Deferral of Issuance of Additional Shares in Certain Circumstances. In any case in which paragraph 3(b) of this Warrant Certificate shall require that an adjustment in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of a Warrant exercised after such record date the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Warrant Shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver as soon as practicable to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument provided by the Company evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

 

4.         Definition of Common Stock. The Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be the Common Stock as constituted on the Commencement Date, except as otherwise provided in section 3 of this Warrant Certificate.

 

5.         Replacement of Warrant Certificates. If this Warrant Certificate shall be lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as the Company may in the Company’s discretion reasonably impose, issue a new certificate of like tenor or date representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder. Any such new certificate shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

 

6.         Registration. This Warrant Certificate, as well as all other warrant certificates representing Warrants shall be numbered and shall be registered in a register (the “Warrant Register”) maintained at the Company Offices as they are issued. The Warrant Register shall list the name, address and Social Security or other federal taxpayer identifying number, if any, of all Warrantholders. The Company shall be entitled to treat the Warrantholder as set forth in the Warrant Register as the owner in fact of the Warrants as set forth therein for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrants on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration of transfer of Warrants that are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration of transfer, or with such knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith.         

 

7.         Transfer.

 

(a)        NEITHER THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE NOR THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OR ANY OTHER SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF SUCH WARRANTS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH WARRANTS HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED, AND ANY SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OR ANY OTHER SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF SUCH WARRANTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE ACQUIRED, FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH WARRANTS AND/OR SUCH SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF SUCH WARRANTS AND SUCH SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(b)        In the event of a transfer of any Warrants in accordance with this section 7, the Company shall, upon the surrender of this Warrant Certificate with the Assignment Form completed, dated and signed, execute and deliver to the transferee a new warrant certificate, substantially in form to this Warrant Certificate, evidencing the number of Warrants so transferred to such transferee and naming the transferee as the Warrantholder.

 

8.         Exchange of Warrant Certificates. This Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for another certificate or certificates entitling the Warrantholder thereof to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares as this Warrant Certificate entitles such Warrantholder to purchase. A Warrantholder desiring to so exchange this Warrant Certificate shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender this Warrant Certificate therewith. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and deliver to the person entitled thereto a new certificate or certificates, as the case may be, as so requested.

 

9.           Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered in person, against written receipt therefor, or two days after being sent, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and, if to the Warrantholder, at such address as is shown on the Warrant Register or as may otherwise may have been furnished to the Company in writing in accordance with this section 9 by the Warrantholder and, if to the Company, at the Company Offices or such other address as the Company shall give notice thereof to the Warrantholder in accordance with this section 9.

 

10.         Registration Rights.

 

(a)         Defined Terms. As used in this section 10, terms defined elsewhere herein shall have their assigned meanings and each of the following terms shall have the following meanings (such definitions to be applicable to both the plural and singular of the terms defined):

(i)          Registerable Securities. The term “Registerable Securities” shall mean any of the Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of any of the 1,500,000 Warrants originally issued to Barry M. Brookstein (the “Original Holder”) as of June 30, 2011 and represented, in whole or part, by this Warrant Certificate. For the purposes of this section 10, securities will cease to be Registerable Securities when:

(A)         a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering such Registerable Securities has been declared effective and (1) such Registerable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement or (2) such registration statement has remained effective for 270 consecutive days, or

(B)         such Registerable Securities are distributed to the public pursuant to the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including, without limitation, Rules 144 and 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and the Company has delivered new certificates or other evidences of ownership for such securities which are not subject to any stop transfer order or other restriction on transfer;

(ii)         Rightsholders. The term “Rightsholders” shall include the Warrantholder, all successors and assigns of the Warrantholders and all transferees of Registerable Securities (and/or Warrants exercisable for Warrant Shares) where such transfer affirmatively includes the transfer and assignment of the rights of the transferor-Warrantholder under this Warrant Certificate with respect to the transferred Registerable Securities and such transferee agrees in writing to assume all of the transferor-Warrantholder’s agreements, obligations and liabilities under this section 10 with respect to the transferred Registerable Securities; and

(iii)        Interpretations of Terms. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this section 10 shall refer to this section 10 as a whole and not to any particular provision of this section 10, and subsection, paragraph, clause, schedule and exhibit references are to this section 10 unless otherwise specified.

 

6
 

 

(b)          Piggy-Back Registration.

(i)          Piggy-Back Registration Rights. If, at any time on or prior to the first anniversary of the Expiration Time, the Company (or any successor of the Company, by merger or otherwise) proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company or any other party of any class of equity security similar to any Registerable Securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form or a registration statement filed solely in connection with an exchange offer, a business combination transaction or an offering of securities solely to the existing shareholders or employees of the Company), then the Company, on each such occasion, shall give written notice (each, a “Company Piggy-Back Notice”) of such proposed filing to all of the Rightsholders owning Registerable Securities at least twenty days before the anticipated filing date of such registration statement, and such Company Piggy-Back Notice also shall be required to offer to such Rightsholders the opportunity to register such aggregate number of Registerable Securities as each such Rightsholder may request. Each such Rightsholder shall have the right, exercisable for the fifteen days immediately following the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice, to request, by written notice (each, a “Holder Notice”) to the Company, the inclusion of all or any portion of the Registerable Securities of such Rightsholders in such registration statement. The Company shall use commercially best efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the inclusion of the Registerable Securities which were the subject of all Holder Notices in such underwritten offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subparagraph 10(b)(i), if the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten offering or any proposed underwritten offering delivers a written opinion to the Rightsholders of Registerable Securities which were the subject of all Holder Notices that the total amount and kind of securities which they, the Company and any other person intend to include in such offering is such as to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the amount of securities to be offered for the accounts of such Rightsholders and persons other than the Company shall be eliminated or reduced pro rata (based on the amount of securities owned by such Rightsholders and other persons which carry registration rights) to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter(s) in the managing underwriter’s written opinion.

(ii)         Number of Piggy-Back Registrations; Expenses. The Rightsholders shall be entitled, in the aggregate, to two Piggy-Back Registrations. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10(d) of this Warrant Certificate, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration of Registerable Securities effected pursuant to this paragraph 10(b), but the Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any underwriter’s discount, commission or selling concession in connection therewith.

(iii)        Withdrawal or Suspension of Registration Statement. The Company shall have the absolute right, whether before or after the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice or Holder Notice, to determine not to file a registration statement to which the Rightsholders shall have the right to include their Registerable Securities therein pursuant to this paragraph 10(b), to withdraw such registration statement or to delay or suspend pursuing the effectiveness of such registration statement. In the event of such a determination after the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice, the Company shall give notice of such determination to all Rightsholders and, thereupon, (A) in the case of a determination not to register or to withdraw such registration statement, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation under this paragraph 10(b) to register any of the Registerable Securities in connection with such registration and (B) in the case of a determination to delay the registration, the Company shall be permitted to delay or suspend the registration of Registerable Securities pursuant to this paragraph 10(b) for the same period as the delay in the registration of such other securities. No registration effected under this paragraph 10(b) shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any registration upon demand otherwise granted to a Rightsholder under any other agreement with the Company.

 

(c)          Registration Procedures.

(i)          Obligations of the Company. The Company will, in connection with any registration pursuant to paragraph 10(b) of this Warrant Certificate, as expeditiously as possible:

 

7
 

 

(A)         prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act on any appropriate form chosen by the Company, in the Company’s sole discretion, which shall be available for the sale of all Registerable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof set forth in all applicable Holder Notices, and use the Company’s commercially best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable but in no event more than 100 days after receipt of such notices or requests; provided, that, at least five business days before filing with the Commission of such registration statement, the Company shall furnish to each Rightsholder whose Registerable Securities are included therein draft copies of such registration statement, including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, and, upon the reasonable request of any such Rightsholder, shall continue to provide drafts of such registration statement until filed, and, after such filing, the Company shall, as diligently as practicable, provide to each such Rightsholders such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus), all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein and such other documents as such Rightsholder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registerable Securities owned by such Rightsholder and included in such registration statement; provided, further, the Company shall modify or amend the registration statement as it relates to such Rightsholder as reasonably requested by such Rightsholder on a timely basis, and shall reasonably consider other changes to the registration statement (but not including any exhibit or document incorporated therein by reference) reasonably requested by such Rightsholder on a timely basis, in light of the requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable laws and regulations; and provided, further, that the obligation of the Company to effect such registration and/or cause such registration statement to become effective, may be postponed for (1) such period of time when the financial statements of the Company required to be included in such registration statement are not available (due solely to the fact that such financial statements have not been prepared in the regular course of business of the Company) or (2) any other bona fide corporate purpose, but then only for a period not to exceed 60 calendar days;

(B)         prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to a registration statement as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for up to nine months; and cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed to the extent required pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, during such nine-month period; and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registerable Securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method(s) of disposition of such Registerable Securities set forth in such registration statement, prospectus or supplement to such prospectus;

(C)         notify the Rightsholders whose Registerable Securities are included in such registration statement and the managing underwriter(s), if any, of an underwritten offering of any of the Registerable Securities included in such registration statement, and confirm such advice in writing, (1) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (2) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to a registration statement or related prospectus or for additional information, (3) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (4) if at any time the representations and warranties of the Company contemplated by subclause (J)(1) of subparagraph 10(c)(i) of this Warrant Certificate cease to be true and correct, (5) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registerable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and (6) of the happening of any event which makes any statement made in the registration statement, the prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference untrue or which requires the making of any changes in the registration statement or prospectus so that such registration statement, prospectus or document incorporated by reference will not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(D)         make commercially best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement at the earliest possible moment and to prevent the entry of such an order;

(E)         use commercially best efforts to register or qualify the Registerable Securities included in such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Rightsholder whose Registerable Securities are included in such registration statement reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable such Rightsholder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Registerable Securities; provided, that the Company will not be required to (1) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this clause (E), (2) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (3) take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(e)          Indemnification: Contribution.

(i)          Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each Rightsholder, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Rightsholder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), if any, and any agent thereof against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened suit, action, proceeding or investigation (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of investigation) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein 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, except insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon, any such untrue statement or omission based upon information with respect to such Rightsholder furnished in writing to the Company by such Rightsholder expressly for use therein.

(ii)         Indemnification by Rightsholder. In connection with any registration statement in which a Rightsholder is participating, each such Rightsholder will be required to furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Rightsholder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus, and each Rightsholder agrees to the extent it is such a holder of Registerable Securities included in such registration statement, and each other such holder of Registerable Securities included in such Registration Statement will be required to agree, to indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, the Company, the directors and officers of the Company and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any agent thereof, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of investigation incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened suit, action, proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact necessary, to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is based upon information relating to such Rightsholder or other holder furnished in writing to the Company expressly for use therein.

(iii)        Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this paragraph 10(e) of written notice of the commencement of any action, proceeding, suit or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party may claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, such indemnified party shall notify in writing the indemnifying party of such commencement or threat; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party (A) hereunder, unless the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced thereby, or (B) otherwise than under this paragraph 10(e). In case any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party, and the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and the obligation to pay all expenses relating thereto. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party therein or to pay all expenses relating thereto or (C) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and which may result in a conflict between the indemnifying party and such indemnified party (in which case, if the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that the indemnified party elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party; it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action, suit or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the indemnified party, which firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified party).

(iv)        Contribution.

(A)         If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph 10(e) from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (A) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other or (B) if the allocation provided by clause (A) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and the indemnified parties 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, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitation set forth in subparagraph 10(e)(v) of this Warrant Certificate, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.

(B)         The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subparagraph 10(e)(iv) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of the immediately preceding paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(v)         Limitation. Anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph 10(e) or in paragraph 10(f) of this Warrant Certificate notwithstanding, no holder of Registerable Securities shall be liable for indemnification and contribution payments aggregating an amount in excess of the maximum dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such holder in connection with any sale of Registerable Securities as contemplated herein.

 

(f)          Participation in Underwritten Registration. No Rightsholder may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Rightsholder (i) agrees to sell such holder’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and to comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, appropriate and limited powers of attorney, escrow agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangement; provided, that all such documents shall be consistent with the provisions of paragraph 10(e) of this Warrant Certificate.

 

11.         Miscellaneous. This Warrant Certificate and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant Certificate is deemed to have been delivered in the State of New York and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of such State. The headings in this Warrant Certificate are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.

 

12.         Expiration. Unless as hereinafter provided, the right to exercise the Warrants shall expire at the Expiration Time.

 

13.         No Rights as Shareholder; Notice to Warrantholder.

 

(a)          Nothing contained in this Warrant Certificate shall be constructed as conferring upon the Warrantholder the right to vote or to receive distributions or to consent to or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter, or any other rights whatsoever as shareholder of the Company.

 

12
 

 

(b)          The Company shall give notice to the Warrantholder by postage-paid, certified mail, return receipt requested, if, at any time prior to the Expiration Time, any of the following events shall occur:

(i)          the Company shall authorize the payment of any distributions upon Common Stock payable in any securities or authorize the making of any distribution (other than a cash distribution subject to the second parenthetical set forth in section 3(c) of this Warrant Certificate) to all holders of Common Stock;

(ii)         the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of Common Stock of any additional shares of Common Stock or of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or of any other subscription rights, options or warrants;

(iii)        a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (including, without limitation, a consolidation, merger, or sale or conveyance of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety); or

(iv)        a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock) or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (excluding any consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing company and that does not result in any reclassification of, or change to, the Common Stock then outstanding) or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety.

 

Such giving of notice shall be given (x) at least twenty business days (a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banks in the State of New York are authorized by law to remain closed) prior to the date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the Company’s transfer books for the determination of the holders entitled to such distribution or subscription rights, or for the determination of the holders entitled to vote on such proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or conversion to corporate or other form. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. In addition, the Company shall provide to Warrantholder, at the same time such notice is provided, such information relating to such distribution or subscriptions rights, or proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or conversion to corporate or other form as may be reasonably necessary for Warrantholder to make an informed decision whether to exercise Warrantholder’s rights as evidenced by this Warrant Certificate.

 

14.         Severability. If any term or other provision of this Warrant Certificate is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Warrant Certificate shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either the Company or Warrantholder. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Company and Warrantholder shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Warrant Certificate so as to effect the original intent of the Company and the Original Holder in connection with the issuance of the Warrants, to the greatest extent possible. Any provision of this Warrant Certificate held invalid or unenforceable only in part, degree or in certain jurisdictions will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Compliance Systems Corporation has caused this Warrant Certificate to be executed by its officer thereunto duly authorized.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT CERTIFICATE

 

150,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

  Huntington, New York
Warrant Certificate Number: 2011C-029 As of March 31, 2012

 

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, Barry M. Brookstein (the “Warrantholder”), is the registered owner of the number of common stock purchase warrants (each, a “Warrant”) of Compliance Systems Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), set forth above, each Warrant entitling the owner thereof to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of $0.001 per Warrant (the “Purchase Price”), as adjusted from time to time in accordance with section 3 of this Warrant Certificate, at any time on or after the Commencement Date (as defined in paragraph 1(b) below) and terminating at 5:00 p.m., Huntington, New York time, on March 30, 2017 (the “Expiration Time”), one duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share (each, a “Warrant Share”) of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein. The number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate (and the number and kind of securities which may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants), and the Purchase Price per Warrant Share, each as set forth above, are as of the date hereof. As provided herein, the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities which may be purchased upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are, upon the happening of certain events, subject to modification and adjustment.

 

This Warrant Certificate, together with any warrant certificate(s) issued in replacement or substitution hereof (as provided for herein) evidencing all or part of the Warrants evidenced hereby, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Warrant Certificates.”

 

The rights of the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to the following further terms and conditions:

 

1.          Exercise of Warrants.

 

(a)          The Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, during the period commencing on the Commencement Date and terminating at the Expiration Time by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the Exercise Form provided for herein duly completed and executed by the Warrantholder or by the Warrantholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact, at the principal office of the Company, presently located at 780 New York Avenue - Suite A, Huntington, New York 11743, or at such other office or agency in the United States as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder (in either event, the “Company Offices”), accompanied by payment in full, either in the form of cash, bank cashier’s check or certified check payable to the order of the Company, of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the Warrants being exercised.

 

 
 

 

(b)          For purposes of this Warrant Certificate, the term “Commencement Date” shall mean September 30, 2011.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph 1(a), payment of the applicable Purchase Price may be made by means of a “cashless exercise” through the surrender of the number of Warrants and receipt of the number of shares of Common Stock (in each case, as adjusted to reflect the provisions of section 3), determined based upon the following formula:

 

X = Y(A-B)  
  A  
where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Warrantholder upon exercise pursuant to this paragraph 1(c);
  Y = the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants so surrender, without giving effect to this paragraph 1(c);
  A = the per share Current Market Price (as such term is defined in paragraph 3(e)) on the date of delivery to the Company at the Company Offices of this Warrant Certificate and completed Exercise Form; and
  B = the Purchase Price in effect on the date of delivery to the Company at the Company Offices of this Warrant Certificate and completed Exercise Form.

 

(d)          On the day immediately following the date of a valid exercise of any Warrants, the Warrantholder exercising such Warrant(s) shall be deemed to have become the holder of record for all purposes of the Warrant Shares to which such valid exercise relates.

 

(e)          As soon as practicable, but not in excess of five days, after the valid exercise of all or part of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Company, at the Company’s expense (including the payment by Company of any applicable issuance and similar taxes), will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrantholder, or such other party identified in the purchase form, certificates evidencing the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares to which the Warrantholder, or such other party identified in the Exercise Form, shall be entitled upon such exercise, as adjusted to reflect the effects, if any, of the anti-dilution provisions of section 3 of this Warrant Certificate, such certificates to be in such reasonable denominations as Holder shall request when delivering the duly completed Exercise Form.

 

(f)          No certificates for fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of any of the Warrants but, in lieu thereof, the Company shall, upon exercise of all the Warrants, round up any fractional Warrant Shares to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.

 

(g)          If fewer than all of the Warrants are exercised, the Company shall, upon each exercise prior to the Expiration Time, execute and deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant Certificate (dated as of the date hereof) evidencing the balance of the Warrants that remain exercisable.

 

2.          Issuance of Common Stock; Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that:

 

(a)          All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all or part of the Warrants will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof;

(b)          At all times prior to the Expiration Time, the Company shall keep reserved for issuance a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to permit the exercise in full of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate; and

(c)          If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants require registration with, or approval of, any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will promptly use its best efforts to effect such registration or obtain such approval, as the case may be.

 

2
 

 

3.          Adjustments of Purchase Price, Number and Character of Warrant Shares, Number of Warrants. The Purchase Price and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of the events enumerated in this section 3.

 

(a)          Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. In case the Company shall at any time on or before the Expiration Time:

(i)          pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock or such other stock to holders of all its outstanding shares of Common Stock;

(ii)         subdivide, reclassify or recapitalize the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

(iii)        combine, reclassify or recapitalize the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock; or

(iv)         issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock into any other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation);

then the number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which the Warrantholder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior to the earlier of the happening of such event or any record date in respect thereto. In the event of any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each then outstanding Warrant pursuant to this paragraph 3(a), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the amount resulting from dividing the number of shares of Common Stock (including fractional shares of Common Stock) covered by such Warrant immediately after such adjustment into the total amount payable upon exercise of such Warrant in full immediately prior to such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date for any such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph 3(a) shall occur.

 

(b)          Extraordinary Dividends. In case the Company shall, at any time on or before the Expiration Time, fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options, or warrants to all holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, entitling such holders (for a period expiring within 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share of Common Stock (or having an exchange or conversion price per share of Common Stock, with respect to a security exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) which is lower than the Purchase Price on such record date, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted so that the Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so to be offered (or the aggregate initial exchange or conversion price of the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at the Purchase Price and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered are initially exchangeable or convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on such record date; provided, however, to the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options, or warrants, the Purchase Price shall be readjusted (but only with respect to Warrants exercised after such expiration) to the Purchase Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options, or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) actually issued. In case any subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and shall be described in a statement mailed to the Warrantholder. Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

(c)          Extraordinary Distributions. In case the Company shall, at any time on or before the Expiration Time, distribute to all holders of shares of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends and distributions payable out of consolidated net income or earned surplus in accordance with Nevada law and dividends or distributions payable in shares of stock described in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate) or rights, options, or warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock), then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such distribution by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the Purchase Price as in effect on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so to be distributed or of such rights, options or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock and (ii) the denominator shall be the Purchase Price as in effect on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for such transaction.

 

(d)          Capital Reorganizations and Other Reclassifications. In case of any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock (other than a reclassification, subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock referred to in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate), or in case of the consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other corporation (other than a reclassification of the shares of Common Stock referred to in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate or a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) or of the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation or entity occurring on or before the Expiration Time, each Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale, be exercisable, upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant Certificate, for the kind, amount and number of shares or other securities, assets, or cash to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable (at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger or sale) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth in this section 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly equivalent as possible, to any shares or other securities, assets, or cash thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, or sale, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation or entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation or entity purchasing such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder such shares, securities, assets, or cash as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to purchase and the other obligations hereunder. The subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares shall not be deemed to be a reclassification of the shares of Common Stock for purposes of this paragraph 3(d).

 

(e)          Minimum Adjustment. Except as hereinafter provided, no adjustment of the Purchase Price hereunder shall be made if such adjustment results in a change of the Purchase Price then in effect of less than one cent ($.001) per share. Any adjustment of less than one-tenth of one cent ($.001) per share of any Purchase Price shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, amounts to one-tenth of one cent ($.001) per share or more. However, upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall make all necessary adjustments (to the nearest one-tenth of a cent) not theretofore made to the Purchase Price up to and including the effective date upon which this Warrant Certificate is exercised.

 

(f)          Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Purchase Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the Company made any determination hereunder), by first class mail postage prepaid to the Warrantholder.

(g)          Adjustments to Other Securities. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this section 3, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any shares or securities of the Company other than the shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares or securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the purchase price for such shares or securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as possible to the provisions with respect to the shares of Common Stock contained in paragraphs 3(a), 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d) of this Warrant Certificate.

 

(h)          Deferral of Issuance of Additional Shares in Certain Circumstances. In any case in which paragraph 3(b) of this Warrant Certificate shall require that an adjustment in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of a Warrant exercised after such record date the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Warrant Shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver as soon as practicable to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument provided by the Company evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

 

4.          Definition of Common Stock. The Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be the Common Stock as constituted on the Commencement Date, except as otherwise provided in section 3 of this Warrant Certificate.

 

5.          Replacement of Warrant Certificates. If this Warrant Certificate shall be lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as the Company may in the Company’s discretion reasonably impose, issue a new certificate of like tenor or date representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder. Any such new certificate shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

 

6.          Registration. This Warrant Certificate, as well as all other warrant certificates representing Warrants shall be numbered and shall be registered in a register (the “Warrant Register”) maintained at the Company Offices as they are issued. The Warrant Register shall list the name, address and Social Security or other federal taxpayer identifying number, if any, of all Warrantholders. The Company shall be entitled to treat the Warrantholder as set forth in the Warrant Register as the owner in fact of the Warrants as set forth therein for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrants on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration of transfer of Warrants that are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration of transfer, or with such knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith.         

 

7.          Transfer.

8.          Exchange of Warrant Certificates. This Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for another certificate or certificates entitling the Warrantholder thereof to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares as this Warrant Certificate entitles such Warrantholder to purchase. A Warrantholder desiring to so exchange this Warrant Certificate shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender this Warrant Certificate therewith. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and deliver to the person entitled thereto a new certificate or certificates, as the case may be, as so requested.

10.         Registration Rights.

 

(a)          Defined Terms. As used in this section 10, terms defined elsewhere herein shall have their assigned meanings and each of the following terms shall have the following meanings (such definitions to be applicable to both the plural and singular of the terms defined):

(i)          Registerable Securities. The term “Registerable Securities” shall mean any of the Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of any of the 128,600 Warrants originally issued to Barry M. Brookstein (the “Original Holder”) as of June 30, 2011 and represented, in whole or part, by this Warrant Certificate. For the purposes of this section 10, securities will cease to be Registerable Securities when:

(A)         a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering such Registerable Securities has been declared effective and (1) such Registerable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement or (2) such registration statement has remained effective for 270 consecutive days, or

(B)         such Registerable Securities are distributed to the public pursuant to the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including, without limitation, Rules 144 and 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and the Company has delivered new certificates or other evidences of ownership for such securities which are not subject to any stop transfer order or other restriction on transfer;

(ii)         Rightsholders. The term “Rightsholders” shall include the Warrantholder, all successors and assigns of the Warrantholders and all transferees of Registerable Securities (and/or Warrants exercisable for Warrant Shares) where such transfer affirmatively includes the transfer and assignment of the rights of the transferor-Warrantholder under this Warrant Certificate with respect to the transferred Registerable Securities and such transferee agrees in writing to assume all of the transferor-Warrantholder’s agreements, obligations and liabilities under this section 10 with respect to the transferred Registerable Securities; and

(iii)        Interpretations of Terms. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this section 10 shall refer to this section 10 as a whole and not to any particular provision of this section 10, and subsection, paragraph, clause, schedule and exhibit references are to this section 10 unless otherwise specified.

 

6
 

 

(b)          Piggy-Back Registration.

(i)          Piggy-Back Registration Rights. If, at any time on or prior to the first anniversary of the Expiration Time, the Company (or any successor of the Company, by merger or otherwise) proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company or any other party of any class of equity security similar to any Registerable Securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form or a registration statement filed solely in connection with an exchange offer, a business combination transaction or an offering of securities solely to the existing shareholders or employees of the Company), then the Company, on each such occasion, shall give written notice (each, a “Company Piggy-Back Notice”) of such proposed filing to all of the Rightsholders owning Registerable Securities at least twenty days before the anticipated filing date of such registration statement, and such Company Piggy-Back Notice also shall be required to offer to such Rightsholders the opportunity to register such aggregate number of Registerable Securities as each such Rightsholder may request. Each such Rightsholder shall have the right, exercisable for the fifteen days immediately following the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice, to request, by written notice (each, a “Holder Notice”) to the Company, the inclusion of all or any portion of the Registerable Securities of such Rightsholders in such registration statement. The Company shall use commercially best efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the inclusion of the Registerable Securities which were the subject of all Holder Notices in such underwritten offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subparagraph 10(b)(i), if the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten offering or any proposed underwritten offering delivers a written opinion to the Rightsholders of Registerable Securities which were the subject of all Holder Notices that the total amount and kind of securities which they, the Company and any other person intend to include in such offering is such as to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the amount of securities to be offered for the accounts of such Rightsholders and persons other than the Company shall be eliminated or reduced pro rata (based on the amount of securities owned by such Rightsholders and other persons which carry registration rights) to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter(s) in the managing underwriter’s written opinion.

(ii)         Number of Piggy-Back Registrations; Expenses. The Rightsholders shall be entitled, in the aggregate, to two Piggy-Back Registrations. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10(d) of this Warrant Certificate, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration of Registerable Securities effected pursuant to this paragraph 10(b), but the Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any underwriter’s discount, commission or selling concession in connection therewith.

(iii)        Withdrawal or Suspension of Registration Statement. The Company shall have the absolute right, whether before or after the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice or Holder Notice, to determine not to file a registration statement to which the Rightsholders shall have the right to include their Registerable Securities therein pursuant to this paragraph 10(b), to withdraw such registration statement or to delay or suspend pursuing the effectiveness of such registration statement. In the event of such a determination after the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice, the Company shall give notice of such determination to all Rightsholders and, thereupon, (A) in the case of a determination not to register or to withdraw such registration statement, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation under this paragraph 10(b) to register any of the Registerable Securities in connection with such registration and (B) in the case of a determination to delay the registration, the Company shall be permitted to delay or suspend the registration of Registerable Securities pursuant to this paragraph 10(b) for the same period as the delay in the registration of such other securities. No registration effected under this paragraph 10(b) shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any registration upon demand otherwise granted to a Rightsholder under any other agreement with the Company.

 

(c)          Registration Procedures.

(i)          Obligations of the Company. The Company will, in connection with any registration pursuant to paragraph 10(b) of this Warrant Certificate, as expeditiously as possible:

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this paragraph 10(e) of written notice of the commencement of any action, proceeding, suit or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party may claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, such indemnified party shall notify in writing the indemnifying party of such commencement or threat; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party (A) hereunder, unless the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced thereby, or (B) otherwise than under this paragraph 10(e). In case any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party, and the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and the obligation to pay all expenses relating thereto. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party therein or to pay all expenses relating thereto or (C) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and which may result in a conflict between the indemnifying party and such indemnified party (in which case, if the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that the indemnified party elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party; it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action, suit or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the indemnified party, which firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified party).

 

11
 

 

(iv)         Contribution.

(A)         If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph 10(e) from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (A) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other or (B) if the allocation provided by clause (A) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and the indemnified parties 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, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitation set forth in subparagraph 10(e)(v) of this Warrant Certificate, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.

(B)         The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subparagraph 10(e)(iv) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of the immediately preceding paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(v)          Limitation. Anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph 10(e) or in paragraph 10(f) of this Warrant Certificate notwithstanding, no holder of Registerable Securities shall be liable for indemnification and contribution payments aggregating an amount in excess of the maximum dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such holder in connection with any sale of Registerable Securities as contemplated herein.

 

(f)          Participation in Underwritten Registration. No Rightsholder may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Rightsholder (i) agrees to sell such holder’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and to comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, appropriate and limited powers of attorney, escrow agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangement; provided, that all such documents shall be consistent with the provisions of paragraph 10(e) of this Warrant Certificate.

 

11.         Miscellaneous. This Warrant Certificate and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant Certificate is deemed to have been delivered in the State of New York and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of such State. The headings in this Warrant Certificate are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.

 

12.         Expiration. Unless as hereinafter provided, the right to exercise the Warrants shall expire at the Expiration Time.

 

13.         No Rights as Shareholder; Notice to Warrantholder.

 

(a)          Nothing contained in this Warrant Certificate shall be constructed as conferring upon the Warrantholder the right to vote or to receive distributions or to consent to or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter, or any other rights whatsoever as shareholder of the Company.

 

12
 

 

(b)          The Company shall give notice to the Warrantholder by postage-paid, certified mail, return receipt requested, if, at any time prior to the Expiration Time, any of the following events shall occur:

(i)          the Company shall authorize the payment of any distributions upon Common Stock payable in any securities or authorize the making of any distribution (other than a cash distribution subject to the second parenthetical set forth in section 3(c) of this Warrant Certificate) to all holders of Common Stock;

(ii)         the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of Common Stock of any additional shares of Common Stock or of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or of any other subscription rights, options or warrants;

(iii)        a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (including, without limitation, a consolidation, merger, or sale or conveyance of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety); or

(iv)         a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock) or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (excluding any consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing company and that does not result in any reclassification of, or change to, the Common Stock then outstanding) or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety.

 

Such giving of notice shall be given (x) at least twenty business days (a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banks in the State of New York are authorized by law to remain closed) prior to the date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the Company’s transfer books for the determination of the holders entitled to such distribution or subscription rights, or for the determination of the holders entitled to vote on such proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or conversion to corporate or other form. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. In addition, the Company shall provide to Warrantholder, at the same time such notice is provided, such information relating to such distribution or subscriptions rights, or proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or conversion to corporate or other form as may be reasonably necessary for Warrantholder to make an informed decision whether to exercise Warrantholder’s rights as evidenced by this Warrant Certificate.

 

14.         Severability. If any term or other provision of this Warrant Certificate is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Warrant Certificate shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either the Company or Warrantholder. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Company and Warrantholder shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Warrant Certificate so as to effect the original intent of the Company and the Original Holder in connection with the issuance of the Warrants, to the greatest extent possible. Any provision of this Warrant Certificate held invalid or unenforceable only in part, degree or in certain jurisdictions will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

  

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Compliance Systems Corporation has caused this Warrant Certificate to be executed by its officer thereunto duly authorized.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT CERTIFICATE

 

2,250,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

  Huntington, New York
Warrant Certificate Number: 2011C-030 As of March 31, 2012

 

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, Spirits Management, Inc. (the “Warrantholder”), is the registered owner of the number of common stock purchase warrants (each, a “Warrant”) of Compliance Systems Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), set forth above, each Warrant entitling the owner thereof to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of $0.001 per Warrant (the “Purchase Price”), as adjusted from time to time in accordance with section 3 of this Warrant Certificate, at any time on or after the Commencement Date (as defined in paragraph 1(b) below) and terminating at 5:00 p.m., Huntington, New York time, on March 30, 2017 (the “Expiration Time”), one duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share (each, a “Warrant Share”) of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein. The number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate (and the number and kind of securities which may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants), and the Purchase Price per Warrant Share, each as set forth above, are as of the date hereof. As provided herein, the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities which may be purchased upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are, upon the happening of certain events, subject to modification and adjustment.

 

This Warrant Certificate, together with any warrant certificate(s) issued in replacement or substitution hereof (as provided for herein) evidencing all or part of the Warrants evidenced hereby, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Warrant Certificates.”

 

The rights of the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to the following further terms and conditions:

 

1.            Exercise of Warrants.

 

(a)          The Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, during the period commencing on the Commencement Date and terminating at the Expiration Time by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the Exercise Form provided for herein duly completed and executed by the Warrantholder or by the Warrantholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact, at the principal office of the Company, presently located at 780 New York Avenue - Suite A, Huntington, New York 11743, or at such other office or agency in the United States as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder (in either event, the “Company Offices”), accompanied by payment in full, either in the form of cash, bank cashier’s check or certified check payable to the order of the Company, of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the Warrants being exercised.

 

 
 

 

(b)          For purposes of this Warrant Certificate, the term “Commencement Date” shall mean September 30, 2011.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph 1(a), payment of the applicable Purchase Price may be made by means of a “cashless exercise” through the surrender of the number of Warrants and receipt of the number of shares of Common Stock (in each case, as adjusted to reflect the provisions of section 3), determined based upon the following formula:

 

X =        Y(A-B)

                  A

          where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Warrantholder upon exercise pursuant to this paragraph 1(c);
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants so surrender, without giving effect to this paragraph 1(c); 
A = the per share Current Market Price (as such term is defined in paragraph 3(e)) on the date of delivery to the Company at the Company Offices of this Warrant Certificate and completed Exercise Form; and 
B = the Purchase Price in effect on the date of delivery to the Company at the Company Offices of this Warrant Certificate and completed Exercise Form. 

 

(d)         On the day immediately following the date of a valid exercise of any Warrants, the Warrantholder exercising such Warrant(s) shall be deemed to have become the holder of record for all purposes of the Warrant Shares to which such valid exercise relates.

 

(e)          As soon as practicable, but not in excess of five days, after the valid exercise of all or part of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Company, at the Company’s expense (including the payment by Company of any applicable issuance and similar taxes), will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrantholder, or such other party identified in the purchase form, certificates evidencing the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares to which the Warrantholder, or such other party identified in the Exercise Form, shall be entitled upon such exercise, as adjusted to reflect the effects, if any, of the anti-dilution provisions of section 3 of this Warrant Certificate, such certificates to be in such reasonable denominations as Holder shall request when delivering the duly completed Exercise Form.

 

(f)          No certificates for fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of any of the Warrants but, in lieu thereof, the Company shall, upon exercise of all the Warrants, round up any fractional Warrant Shares to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.

 

(g)          If fewer than all of the Warrants are exercised, the Company shall, upon each exercise prior to the Expiration Time, execute and deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant Certificate (dated as of the date hereof) evidencing the balance of the Warrants that remain exercisable.

 

2.            Issuance of Common Stock; Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that:

 

(a)          All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all or part of the Warrants will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof;

(b)          At all times prior to the Expiration Time, the Company shall keep reserved for issuance a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to permit the exercise in full of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate; and

 

2
 

 

(c)          If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants require registration with, or approval of, any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will promptly use its best efforts to effect such registration or obtain such approval, as the case may be.

 

3.           Adjustments of Purchase Price, Number and Character of Warrant Shares, Number of Warrants. The Purchase Price and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of the events enumerated in this section 3.

 

(a)          Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. In case the Company shall at any time on or before the Expiration Time:

(i)          pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock or such other stock to holders of all its outstanding shares of Common Stock;

(ii)        subdivide, reclassify or recapitalize the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

(iii)        combine, reclassify or recapitalize the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock; or

(iv)        issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock into any other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation);

then the number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which the Warrantholder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior to the earlier of the happening of such event or any record date in respect thereto. In the event of any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each then outstanding Warrant pursuant to this paragraph 3(a), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the amount resulting from dividing the number of shares of Common Stock (including fractional shares of Common Stock) covered by such Warrant immediately after such adjustment into the total amount payable upon exercise of such Warrant in full immediately prior to such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date for any such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph 3(a) shall occur.

 

(b)          Extraordinary Dividends. In case the Company shall, at any time on or before the Expiration Time, fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options, or warrants to all holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, entitling such holders (for a period expiring within 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share of Common Stock (or having an exchange or conversion price per share of Common Stock, with respect to a security exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) which is lower than the Purchase Price on such record date, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted so that the Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so to be offered (or the aggregate initial exchange or conversion price of the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at the Purchase Price and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered are initially exchangeable or convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on such record date; provided, however, to the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options, or warrants, the Purchase Price shall be readjusted (but only with respect to Warrants exercised after such expiration) to the Purchase Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options, or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) actually issued. In case any subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and shall be described in a statement mailed to the Warrantholder. Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

3
 

 

(c)          Extraordinary Distributions. In case the Company shall, at any time on or before the Expiration Time, distribute to all holders of shares of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends and distributions payable out of consolidated net income or earned surplus in accordance with Nevada law and dividends or distributions payable in shares of stock described in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate) or rights, options, or warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock), then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such distribution by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the Purchase Price as in effect on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so to be distributed or of such rights, options or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock and (ii) the denominator shall be the Purchase Price as in effect on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for such transaction.

 

(d)          Capital Reorganizations and Other Reclassifications. In case of any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock (other than a reclassification, subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock referred to in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate), or in case of the consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other corporation (other than a reclassification of the shares of Common Stock referred to in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate or a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) or of the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation or entity occurring on or before the Expiration Time, each Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale, be exercisable, upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant Certificate, for the kind, amount and number of shares or other securities, assets, or cash to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable (at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger or sale) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth in this section 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly equivalent as possible, to any shares or other securities, assets, or cash thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, or sale, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation or entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation or entity purchasing such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder such shares, securities, assets, or cash as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to purchase and the other obligations hereunder. The subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares shall not be deemed to be a reclassification of the shares of Common Stock for purposes of this paragraph 3(d).

 

(e)          Minimum Adjustment. Except as hereinafter provided, no adjustment of the Purchase Price hereunder shall be made if such adjustment results in a change of the Purchase Price then in effect of less than one cent ($.001) per share. Any adjustment of less than one-tenth of one cent ($.001) per share of any Purchase Price shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, amounts to one-tenth of one cent ($.001) per share or more. However, upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall make all necessary adjustments (to the nearest one-tenth of a cent) not theretofore made to the Purchase Price up to and including the effective date upon which this Warrant Certificate is exercised.

 

(f)          Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Purchase Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the Company made any determination hereunder), by first class mail postage prepaid to the Warrantholder.

 

4
 

 

(g)          Adjustments to Other Securities. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this section 3, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any shares or securities of the Company other than the shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares or securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the purchase price for such shares or securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as possible to the provisions with respect to the shares of Common Stock contained in paragraphs 3(a), 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d) of this Warrant Certificate.

 

(h)          Deferral of Issuance of Additional Shares in Certain Circumstances. In any case in which paragraph 3(b) of this Warrant Certificate shall require that an adjustment in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of a Warrant exercised after such record date the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Warrant Shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver as soon as practicable to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument provided by the Company evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

 

4.           Definition of Common Stock. The Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be the Common Stock as constituted on the Commencement Date, except as otherwise provided in section 3 of this Warrant Certificate.

 

5.           Replacement of Warrant Certificates. If this Warrant Certificate shall be lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as the Company may in the Company’s discretion reasonably impose, issue a new certificate of like tenor or date representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder. Any such new certificate shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

 

6.           Registration. This Warrant Certificate, as well as all other warrant certificates representing Warrants shall be numbered and shall be registered in a register (the “Warrant Register”) maintained at the Company Offices as they are issued. The Warrant Register shall list the name, address and Social Security or other federal taxpayer identifying number, if any, of all Warrantholders. The Company shall be entitled to treat the Warrantholder as set forth in the Warrant Register as the owner in fact of the Warrants as set forth therein for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrants on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration of transfer of Warrants that are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration of transfer, or with such knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith.

(a)          Defined Terms. As used in this section 10, terms defined elsewhere herein shall have their assigned meanings and each of the following terms shall have the following meanings (such definitions to be applicable to both the plural and singular of the terms defined):

(i)          Registerable Securities. The term “Registerable Securities” shall mean any of the Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of any of the 2,250,000 Warrants originally issued to Spirits Management, Inc. (the “Original Holder”) as of June 30, 2011 and represented, in whole or part, by this Warrant Certificate. For the purposes of this section 10, securities will cease to be Registerable Securities when:

(A)         a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering such Registerable Securities has been declared effective and (1) such Registerable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement or (2) such registration statement has remained effective for 270 consecutive days, or

(B)         such Registerable Securities are distributed to the public pursuant to the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including, without limitation, Rules 144 and 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and the Company has delivered new certificates or other evidences of ownership for such securities which are not subject to any stop transfer order or other restriction on transfer;

(ii)         Rightsholders. The term “Rightsholders” shall include the Warrantholder, all successors and assigns of the Warrantholders and all transferees of Registerable Securities (and/or Warrants exercisable for Warrant Shares) where such transfer affirmatively includes the transfer and assignment of the rights of the transferor-Warrantholder under this Warrant Certificate with respect to the transferred Registerable Securities and such transferee agrees in writing to assume all of the transferor-Warrantholder’s agreements, obligations and liabilities under this section 10 with respect to the transferred Registerable Securities; and

(iii)        Interpretations of Terms. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this section 10 shall refer to this section 10 as a whole and not to any particular provision of this section 10, and subsection, paragraph, clause, schedule and exhibit references are to this section 10 unless otherwise specified.

(b)          Piggy-Back Registration.

(i)          Piggy-Back Registration Rights. If, at any time on or prior to the first anniversary of the Expiration Time, the Company (or any successor of the Company, by merger or otherwise) proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company or any other party of any class of equity security similar to any Registerable Securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form or a registration statement filed solely in connection with an exchange offer, a business combination transaction or an offering of securities solely to the existing shareholders or employees of the Company), then the Company, on each such occasion, shall give written notice (each, a “Company Piggy-Back Notice”) of such proposed filing to all of the Rightsholders owning Registerable Securities at least twenty days before the anticipated filing date of such registration statement, and such Company Piggy-Back Notice also shall be required to offer to such Rightsholders the opportunity to register such aggregate number of Registerable Securities as each such Rightsholder may request. Each such Rightsholder shall have the right, exercisable for the fifteen days immediately following the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice, to request, by written notice (each, a “Holder Notice”) to the Company, the inclusion of all or any portion of the Registerable Securities of such Rightsholders in such registration statement. The Company shall use commercially best efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the inclusion of the Registerable Securities which were the subject of all Holder Notices in such underwritten offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subparagraph 10(b)(i), if the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten offering or any proposed underwritten offering delivers a written opinion to the Rightsholders of Registerable Securities which were the subject of all Holder Notices that the total amount and kind of securities which they, the Company and any other person intend to include in such offering is such as to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the amount of securities to be offered for the accounts of such Rightsholders and persons other than the Company shall be eliminated or reduced pro rata (based on the amount of securities owned by such Rightsholders and other persons which carry registration rights) to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter(s) in the managing underwriter’s written opinion.

(ii)         Number of Piggy-Back Registrations; Expenses. The Rightsholders shall be entitled, in the aggregate, to two Piggy-Back Registrations. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10(d) of this Warrant Certificate, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration of Registerable Securities effected pursuant to this paragraph 10(b), but the Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any underwriter’s discount, commission or selling concession in connection therewith.

(iii)        Withdrawal or Suspension of Registration Statement. The Company shall have the absolute right, whether before or after the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice or Holder Notice, to determine not to file a registration statement to which the Rightsholders shall have the right to include their Registerable Securities therein pursuant to this paragraph 10(b), to withdraw such registration statement or to delay or suspend pursuing the effectiveness of such registration statement. In the event of such a determination after the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice, the Company shall give notice of such determination to all Rightsholders and, thereupon, (A) in the case of a determination not to register or to withdraw such registration statement, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation under this paragraph 10(b) to register any of the Registerable Securities in connection with such registration and (B) in the case of a determination to delay the registration, the Company shall be permitted to delay or suspend the registration of Registerable Securities pursuant to this paragraph 10(b) for the same period as the delay in the registration of such other securities. No registration effected under this paragraph 10(b) shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any registration upon demand otherwise granted to a Rightsholder under any other agreement with the Company.

(D)         make commercially best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement at the earliest possible moment and to prevent the entry of such an order;

(e)          Indemnification: Contribution.

(i)          Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each Rightsholder, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Rightsholder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), if any, and any agent thereof against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened suit, action, proceeding or investigation (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of investigation) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein 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, except insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon, any such untrue statement or omission based upon information with respect to such Rightsholder furnished in writing to the Company by such Rightsholder expressly for use therein.

(ii)         Indemnification by Rightsholder. In connection with any registration statement in which a Rightsholder is participating, each such Rightsholder will be required to furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Rightsholder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus, and each Rightsholder agrees to the extent it is such a holder of Registerable Securities included in such registration statement, and each other such holder of Registerable Securities included in such Registration Statement will be required to agree, to indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, the Company, the directors and officers of the Company and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any agent thereof, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of investigation incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened suit, action, proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact necessary, to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is based upon information relating to such Rightsholder or other holder furnished in writing to the Company expressly for use therein.

(iii)        Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this paragraph 10(e) of written notice of the commencement of any action, proceeding, suit or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party may claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, such indemnified party shall notify in writing the indemnifying party of such commencement or threat; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party (A) hereunder, unless the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced thereby, or (B) otherwise than under this paragraph 10(e). In case any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party, and the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and the obligation to pay all expenses relating thereto. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party therein or to pay all expenses relating thereto or (C) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and which may result in a conflict between the indemnifying party and such indemnified party (in which case, if the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that the indemnified party elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party; it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action, suit or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the indemnified party, which firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified party).

(iv)         Contribution.

(A)         If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph 10(e) from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (A) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other or (B) if the allocation provided by clause (A) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and the indemnified parties 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, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitation set forth in subparagraph 10(e)(v) of this Warrant Certificate, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.

(B)         The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subparagraph 10(e)(iv) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of the immediately preceding paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(v)          Limitation. Anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph 10(e) or in paragraph 10(f) of this Warrant Certificate notwithstanding, no holder of Registerable Securities shall be liable for indemnification and contribution payments aggregating an amount in excess of the maximum dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such holder in connection with any sale of Registerable Securities as contemplated herein.

 

(f)          Participation in Underwritten Registration. No Rightsholder may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Rightsholder (i) agrees to sell such holder’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and to comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, appropriate and limited powers of attorney, escrow agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangement; provided, that all such documents shall be consistent with the provisions of paragraph 10(e) of this Warrant Certificate.

 

11.          Miscellaneous. This Warrant Certificate and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant Certificate is deemed to have been delivered in the State of New York and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of such State. The headings in this Warrant Certificate are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.

 

12.          Expiration. Unless as hereinafter provided, the right to exercise the Warrants shall expire at the Expiration Time.

 

13.          No Rights as Shareholder; Notice to Warrantholder.

 

(a)          Nothing contained in this Warrant Certificate shall be constructed as conferring upon the Warrantholder the right to vote or to receive distributions or to consent to or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter, or any other rights whatsoever as shareholder of the Company.

 

12
 

 

(b)          The Company shall give notice to the Warrantholder by postage-paid, certified mail, return receipt requested, if, at any time prior to the Expiration Time, any of the following events shall occur:

(i)          the Company shall authorize the payment of any distributions upon Common Stock payable in any securities or authorize the making of any distribution (other than a cash distribution subject to the second parenthetical set forth in section 3(c) of this Warrant Certificate) to all holders of Common Stock;

(ii)         the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of Common Stock of any additional shares of Common Stock or of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or of any other subscription rights, options or warrants;

(iii)        a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (including, without limitation, a consolidation, merger, or sale or conveyance of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety); or

(iv)         a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock) or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (excluding any consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing company and that does not result in any reclassification of, or change to, the Common Stock then outstanding) or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety.

 

Such giving of notice shall be given (x) at least twenty business days (a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banks in the State of New York are authorized by law to remain closed) prior to the date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the Company’s transfer books for the determination of the holders entitled to such distribution or subscription rights, or for the determination of the holders entitled to vote on such proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or conversion to corporate or other form. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. In addition, the Company shall provide to Warrantholder, at the same time such notice is provided, such information relating to such distribution or subscriptions rights, or proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or conversion to corporate or other form as may be reasonably necessary for Warrantholder to make an informed decision whether to exercise Warrantholder’s rights as evidenced by this Warrant Certificate.

 

14.          Severability. If any term or other provision of this Warrant Certificate is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Warrant Certificate shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either the Company or Warrantholder. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Company and Warrantholder shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Warrant Certificate so as to effect the original intent of the Company and the Original Holder in connection with the issuance of the Warrants, to the greatest extent possible. Any provision of this Warrant Certificate held invalid or unenforceable only in part, degree or in certain jurisdictions will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT CERTIFICATE

 

6,000,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

  Huntington, New York
Warrant Certificate Number: 2011C-031 As of April 1, 2012

 

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, Barry M. Brookstein (the “Warrantholder”), is the registered owner of the number of common stock purchase warrants (each, a “Warrant”) of Compliance Systems Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), set forth above, each Warrant entitling the owner thereof to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of $0.001 per Warrant (the “Purchase Price”), as adjusted from time to time in accordance with section 3 of this Warrant Certificate, at any time on or after the Commencement Date (as defined in paragraph 1(b) below) and terminating at 5:00 p.m., Huntington, New York time, on March 31, 2017 (the “Expiration Time”), one duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share (each, a “Warrant Share”) of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein. The number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate (and the number and kind of securities which may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants), and the Purchase Price per Warrant Share, each as set forth above, are as of the date hereof. As provided herein, the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities which may be purchased upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are, upon the happening of certain events, subject to modification and adjustment.

 

This Warrant Certificate, together with any warrant certificate(s) issued in replacement or substitution hereof (as provided for herein) evidencing all or part of the Warrants evidenced hereby, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Warrant Certificates.”

 

The rights of the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to the following further terms and conditions:

 

1.            Exercise of Warrants.

 

(a)          The Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, during the period commencing on the Commencement Date and terminating at the Expiration Time by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the Exercise Form provided for herein duly completed and executed by the Warrantholder or by the Warrantholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact, at the principal office of the Company, presently located at 780 New York Avenue - Suite A, Huntington, New York 11743, or at such other office or agency in the United States as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder (in either event, the “Company Offices”), accompanied by payment in full, either in the form of cash, bank cashier’s check or certified check payable to the order of the Company, of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the Warrants being exercised.

 

 
 

 

(b)          For purposes of this Warrant Certificate, the term “Commencement Date” shall mean October 1, 2011.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph 1(a), payment of the applicable Purchase Price may be made by means of a “cashless exercise” through the surrender of the number of Warrants and receipt of the number of shares of Common Stock (in each case, as adjusted to reflect the provisions of section 3), determined based upon the following formula:

 

X =        Y(A-B)

                 A

       where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Warrantholder upon exercise pursuant to this paragraph 1(c);

  Y = the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants so surrender, without giving effect to this paragraph 1(c);
  A = the per share Current Market Price (as such term is defined in paragraph 3(e)) on the date of delivery to the Company at the Company Offices of this Warrant Certificate and completed Exercise Form; and
  B = the Purchase Price in effect on the date of delivery to the Company at the Company Offices of this Warrant Certificate and completed Exercise Form.

 

(d)          On the day immediately following the date of a valid exercise of any Warrants, the Warrantholder exercising such Warrant(s) shall be deemed to have become the holder of record for all purposes of the Warrant Shares to which such valid exercise relates.

 

(e)          As soon as practicable, but not in excess of five days, after the valid exercise of all or part of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Company, at the Company’s expense (including the payment by Company of any applicable issuance and similar taxes), will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrantholder, or such other party identified in the purchase form, certificates evidencing the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares to which the Warrantholder, or such other party identified in the Exercise Form, shall be entitled upon such exercise, as adjusted to reflect the effects, if any, of the anti-dilution provisions of section 3 of this Warrant Certificate, such certificates to be in such reasonable denominations as Holder shall request when delivering the duly completed Exercise Form.

 

(f)          No certificates for fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of any of the Warrants but, in lieu thereof, the Company shall, upon exercise of all the Warrants, round up any fractional Warrant Shares to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.

 

(g)          If fewer than all of the Warrants are exercised, the Company shall, upon each exercise prior to the Expiration Time, execute and deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant Certificate (dated as of the date hereof) evidencing the balance of the Warrants that remain exercisable.

 

2.            Issuance of Common Stock; Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that:

 

(a)          All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all or part of the Warrants will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof;

(b)          At all times prior to the Expiration Time, the Company shall keep reserved for issuance a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to permit the exercise in full of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate; and

 

2
 

 

(c)          If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants require registration with, or approval of, any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will promptly use its best efforts to effect such registration or obtain such approval, as the case may be.

 

3.            Adjustments of Purchase Price, Number and Character of Warrant Shares, Number of Warrants. The Purchase Price and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of the events enumerated in this section 3.

 

(a)          Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. In case the Company shall at any time on or before the Expiration Time:

(i)          pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock or such other stock to holders of all its outstanding shares of Common Stock;

(ii)         subdivide, reclassify or recapitalize the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

(iii)        combine, reclassify or recapitalize the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock; or

(iv)        issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock into any other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation);

then the number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which the Warrantholder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior to the earlier of the happening of such event or any record date in respect thereto. In the event of any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each then outstanding Warrant pursuant to this paragraph 3(a), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the amount resulting from dividing the number of shares of Common Stock (including fractional shares of Common Stock) covered by such Warrant immediately after such adjustment into the total amount payable upon exercise of such Warrant in full immediately prior to such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date for any such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph 3(a) shall occur.

 

(b)          Extraordinary Dividends. In case the Company shall, at any time on or before the Expiration Time, fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options, or warrants to all holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, entitling such holders (for a period expiring within 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share of Common Stock (or having an exchange or conversion price per share of Common Stock, with respect to a security exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) which is lower than the Purchase Price on such record date, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted so that the Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so to be offered (or the aggregate initial exchange or conversion price of the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at the Purchase Price and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered are initially exchangeable or convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on such record date; provided, however, to the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options, or warrants, the Purchase Price shall be readjusted (but only with respect to Warrants exercised after such expiration) to the Purchase Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options, or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) actually issued. In case any subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and shall be described in a statement mailed to the Warrantholder. Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

3
 

 

(c)          Extraordinary Distributions. In case the Company shall, at any time on or before the Expiration Time, distribute to all holders of shares of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends and distributions payable out of consolidated net income or earned surplus in accordance with Nevada law and dividends or distributions payable in shares of stock described in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate) or rights, options, or warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock), then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such distribution by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the Purchase Price as in effect on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so to be distributed or of such rights, options or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock and (ii) the denominator shall be the Purchase Price as in effect on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for such transaction.

 

(d)          Capital Reorganizations and Other Reclassifications. In case of any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock (other than a reclassification, subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock referred to in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate), or in case of the consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other corporation (other than a reclassification of the shares of Common Stock referred to in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate or a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) or of the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation or entity occurring on or before the Expiration Time, each Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale, be exercisable, upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant Certificate, for the kind, amount and number of shares or other securities, assets, or cash to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable (at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger or sale) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth in this section 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly equivalent as possible, to any shares or other securities, assets, or cash thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, or sale, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation or entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation or entity purchasing such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder such shares, securities, assets, or cash as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to purchase and the other obligations hereunder. The subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares shall not be deemed to be a reclassification of the shares of Common Stock for purposes of this paragraph 3(d).

 

(e)          Minimum Adjustment. Except as hereinafter provided, no adjustment of the Purchase Price hereunder shall be made if such adjustment results in a change of the Purchase Price then in effect of less than one cent ($.001) per share. Any adjustment of less than one-tenth of one cent ($.001) per share of any Purchase Price shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, amounts to one-tenth of one cent ($.001) per share or more. However, upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall make all necessary adjustments (to the nearest one-tenth of a cent) not theretofore made to the Purchase Price up to and including the effective date upon which this Warrant Certificate is exercised.

 

(f)          Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Purchase Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the Company made any determination hereunder), by first class mail postage prepaid to the Warrantholder.

 

4
 

 

(g)          Adjustments to Other Securities. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this section 3, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any shares or securities of the Company other than the shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares or securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the purchase price for such shares or securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as possible to the provisions with respect to the shares of Common Stock contained in paragraphs 3(a), 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d) of this Warrant Certificate.

 

(h)          Deferral of Issuance of Additional Shares in Certain Circumstances. In any case in which paragraph 3(b) of this Warrant Certificate shall require that an adjustment in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of a Warrant exercised after such record date the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Warrant Shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver as soon as practicable to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument provided by the Company evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

 

4.            Definition of Common Stock. The Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be the Common Stock as constituted on the Commencement Date, except as otherwise provided in section 3 of this Warrant Certificate.

 

5.            Replacement of Warrant Certificates. If this Warrant Certificate shall be lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as the Company may in the Company’s discretion reasonably impose, issue a new certificate of like tenor or date representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder. Any such new certificate shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

 

6.            Registration. This Warrant Certificate, as well as all other warrant certificates representing Warrants shall be numbered and shall be registered in a register (the “Warrant Register”) maintained at the Company Offices as they are issued. The Warrant Register shall list the name, address and Social Security or other federal taxpayer identifying number, if any, of all Warrantholders. The Company shall be entitled to treat the Warrantholder as set forth in the Warrant Register as the owner in fact of the Warrants as set forth therein for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrants on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration of transfer of Warrants that are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration of transfer, or with such knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith.         

 

7.           Transfer.

 

(a)          NEITHER THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE NOR THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OR ANY OTHER SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF SUCH WARRANTS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH WARRANTS HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED, AND ANY SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OR ANY OTHER SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF SUCH WARRANTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE ACQUIRED, FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH WARRANTS AND/OR SUCH SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF SUCH WARRANTS AND SUCH SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

5
 

 

(b)          In the event of a transfer of any Warrants in accordance with this section 7, the Company shall, upon the surrender of this Warrant Certificate with the Assignment Form completed, dated and signed, execute and deliver to the transferee a new warrant certificate, substantially in form to this Warrant Certificate, evidencing the number of Warrants so transferred to such transferee and naming the transferee as the Warrantholder.

 

8.           Exchange of Warrant Certificates. This Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for another certificate or certificates entitling the Warrantholder thereof to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares as this Warrant Certificate entitles such Warrantholder to purchase. A Warrantholder desiring to so exchange this Warrant Certificate shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender this Warrant Certificate therewith. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and deliver to the person entitled thereto a new certificate or certificates, as the case may be, as so requested.

 

9.           Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered in person, against written receipt therefor, or two days after being sent, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and, if to the Warrantholder, at such address as is shown on the Warrant Register or as may otherwise may have been furnished to the Company in writing in accordance with this section 9 by the Warrantholder and, if to the Company, at the Company Offices or such other address as the Company shall give notice thereof to the Warrantholder in accordance with this section 9.

 

10.          Registration Rights.

 

(a)          Defined Terms. As used in this section 10, terms defined elsewhere herein shall have their assigned meanings and each of the following terms shall have the following meanings (such definitions to be applicable to both the plural and singular of the terms defined):

(i)          Registerable Securities. The term “Registerable Securities” shall mean any of the Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of any of the 6,000,000 Warrants originally issued to Barry M. Brookstein (the “Original Holder”) as of July 1, 2011 and represented, in whole or part, by this Warrant Certificate. For the purposes of this section 10, securities will cease to be Registerable Securities when:

(A)         a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering such Registerable Securities has been declared effective and (1) such Registerable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement or (2) such registration statement has remained effective for 270 consecutive days, or

(B)         such Registerable Securities are distributed to the public pursuant to the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including, without limitation, Rules 144 and 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and the Company has delivered new certificates or other evidences of ownership for such securities which are not subject to any stop transfer order or other restriction on transfer;

(ii)         Rightsholders. The term “Rightsholders” shall include the Warrantholder, all successors and assigns of the Warrantholders and all transferees of Registerable Securities (and/or Warrants exercisable for Warrant Shares) where such transfer affirmatively includes the transfer and assignment of the rights of the transferor-Warrantholder under this Warrant Certificate with respect to the transferred Registerable Securities and such transferee agrees in writing to assume all of the transferor-Warrantholder’s agreements, obligations and liabilities under this section 10 with respect to the transferred Registerable Securities; and

(iii)        Interpretations of Terms. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this section 10 shall refer to this section 10 as a whole and not to any particular provision of this section 10, and subsection, paragraph, clause, schedule and exhibit references are to this section 10 unless otherwise specified.

 

6
 

 

(b)          Piggy-Back Registration.

(i)          Piggy-Back Registration Rights. If, at any time on or prior to the first anniversary of the Expiration Time, the Company (or any successor of the Company, by merger or otherwise) proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company or any other party of any class of equity security similar to any Registerable Securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form or a registration statement filed solely in connection with an exchange offer, a business combination transaction or an offering of securities solely to the existing shareholders or employees of the Company), then the Company, on each such occasion, shall give written notice (each, a “Company Piggy-Back Notice”) of such proposed filing to all of the Rightsholders owning Registerable Securities at least twenty days before the anticipated filing date of such registration statement, and such Company Piggy-Back Notice also shall be required to offer to such Rightsholders the opportunity to register such aggregate number of Registerable Securities as each such Rightsholder may request. Each such Rightsholder shall have the right, exercisable for the fifteen days immediately following the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice, to request, by written notice (each, a “Holder Notice”) to the Company, the inclusion of all or any portion of the Registerable Securities of such Rightsholders in such registration statement. The Company shall use commercially best efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the inclusion of the Registerable Securities which were the subject of all Holder Notices in such underwritten offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subparagraph 10(b)(i), if the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten offering or any proposed underwritten offering delivers a written opinion to the Rightsholders of Registerable Securities which were the subject of all Holder Notices that the total amount and kind of securities which they, the Company and any other person intend to include in such offering is such as to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the amount of securities to be offered for the accounts of such Rightsholders and persons other than the Company shall be eliminated or reduced pro rata (based on the amount of securities owned by such Rightsholders and other persons which carry registration rights) to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter(s) in the managing underwriter’s written opinion.

(ii)         Number of Piggy-Back Registrations; Expenses. The Rightsholders shall be entitled, in the aggregate, to two Piggy-Back Registrations. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10(d) of this Warrant Certificate, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration of Registerable Securities effected pursuant to this paragraph 10(b), but the Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any underwriter’s discount, commission or selling concession in connection therewith.

(iii)        Withdrawal or Suspension of Registration Statement. The Company shall have the absolute right, whether before or after the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice or Holder Notice, to determine not to file a registration statement to which the Rightsholders shall have the right to include their Registerable Securities therein pursuant to this paragraph 10(b), to withdraw such registration statement or to delay or suspend pursuing the effectiveness of such registration statement. In the event of such a determination after the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice, the Company shall give notice of such determination to all Rightsholders and, thereupon, (A) in the case of a determination not to register or to withdraw such registration statement, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation under this paragraph 10(b) to register any of the Registerable Securities in connection with such registration and (B) in the case of a determination to delay the registration, the Company shall be permitted to delay or suspend the registration of Registerable Securities pursuant to this paragraph 10(b) for the same period as the delay in the registration of such other securities. No registration effected under this paragraph 10(b) shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any registration upon demand otherwise granted to a Rightsholder under any other agreement with the Company.

(c)          Registration Procedures.

(i)          Obligations of the Company. The Company will, in connection with any registration pursuant to paragraph 10(b) of this Warrant Certificate, as expeditiously as possible:

(G)         cooperate with the Rightsholders whose Registerable Securities are included in such registration statement and the managing underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registerable Securities to be sold thereunder, not bearing any restrictive legends, and enable such Registerable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as such Rightsholder or any managing underwriter(s) may reasonably request at least two business days prior to any sale of Registerable Securities;

(e)          Indemnification: Contribution.

(i)          Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each Rightsholder, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Rightsholder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), if any, and any agent thereof against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened suit, action, proceeding or investigation (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of investigation) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein 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, except insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon, any such untrue statement or omission based upon information with respect to such Rightsholder furnished in writing to the Company by such Rightsholder expressly for use therein.

(ii)         Indemnification by Rightsholder. In connection with any registration statement in which a Rightsholder is participating, each such Rightsholder will be required to furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Rightsholder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus, and each Rightsholder agrees to the extent it is such a holder of Registerable Securities included in such registration statement, and each other such holder of Registerable Securities included in such Registration Statement will be required to agree, to indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, the Company, the directors and officers of the Company and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any agent thereof, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of investigation incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened suit, action, proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact necessary, to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is based upon information relating to such Rightsholder or other holder furnished in writing to the Company expressly for use therein.

(iii)        Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this paragraph 10(e) of written notice of the commencement of any action, proceeding, suit or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party may claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, such indemnified party shall notify in writing the indemnifying party of such commencement or threat; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party (A) hereunder, unless the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced thereby, or (B) otherwise than under this paragraph 10(e). In case any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party, and the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and the obligation to pay all expenses relating thereto. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party therein or to pay all expenses relating thereto or (C) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and which may result in a conflict between the indemnifying party and such indemnified party (in which case, if the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that the indemnified party elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party; it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action, suit or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the indemnified party, which firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified party).

(iv)         Contribution.

(A)         If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph 10(e) from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (A) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other or (B) if the allocation provided by clause (A) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and the indemnified parties 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, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitation set forth in subparagraph 10(e)(v) of this Warrant Certificate, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.

(B)         The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subparagraph 10(e)(iv) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of the immediately preceding paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(v)         Limitation. Anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph 10(e) or in paragraph 10(f) of this Warrant Certificate notwithstanding, no holder of Registerable Securities shall be liable for indemnification and contribution payments aggregating an amount in excess of the maximum dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such holder in connection with any sale of Registerable Securities as contemplated herein.

 

(f)          Participation in Underwritten Registration. No Rightsholder may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Rightsholder (i) agrees to sell such holder’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and to comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, appropriate and limited powers of attorney, escrow agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangement; provided, that all such documents shall be consistent with the provisions of paragraph 10(e) of this Warrant Certificate.

 

11.          Miscellaneous. This Warrant Certificate and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant Certificate is deemed to have been delivered in the State of New York and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of such State. The headings in this Warrant Certificate are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.

 

12.          Expiration. Unless as hereinafter provided, the right to exercise the Warrants shall expire at the Expiration Time.

 

13.          No Rights as Shareholder; Notice to Warrantholder.

 

(a)          Nothing contained in this Warrant Certificate shall be constructed as conferring upon the Warrantholder the right to vote or to receive distributions or to consent to or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter, or any other rights whatsoever as shareholder of the Company.

 

12
 

 

(b)          The Company shall give notice to the Warrantholder by postage-paid, certified mail, return receipt requested, if, at any time prior to the Expiration Time, any of the following events shall occur:

(i)          the Company shall authorize the payment of any distributions upon Common Stock payable in any securities or authorize the making of any distribution (other than a cash distribution subject to the second parenthetical set forth in section 3(c) of this Warrant Certificate) to all holders of Common Stock;

(ii)         the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of Common Stock of any additional shares of Common Stock or of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or of any other subscription rights, options or warrants;

(iii)        a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (including, without limitation, a consolidation, merger, or sale or conveyance of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety); or

(iv)        a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock) or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (excluding any consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing company and that does not result in any reclassification of, or change to, the Common Stock then outstanding) or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety.

 

Such giving of notice shall be given (x) at least twenty business days (a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banks in the State of New York are authorized by law to remain closed) prior to the date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the Company’s transfer books for the determination of the holders entitled to such distribution or subscription rights, or for the determination of the holders entitled to vote on such proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or conversion to corporate or other form. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. In addition, the Company shall provide to Warrantholder, at the same time such notice is provided, such information relating to such distribution or subscriptions rights, or proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or conversion to corporate or other form as may be reasonably necessary for Warrantholder to make an informed decision whether to exercise Warrantholder’s rights as evidenced by this Warrant Certificate.

 

14.          Severability. If any term or other provision of this Warrant Certificate is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Warrant Certificate shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either the Company or Warrantholder. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Company and Warrantholder shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Warrant Certificate so as to effect the original intent of the Company and the Original Holder in connection with the issuance of the Warrants, to the greatest extent possible. Any provision of this Warrant Certificate held invalid or unenforceable only in part, degree or in certain jurisdictions will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Compliance Systems Corporation has caused this Warrant Certificate to be executed by its officer thereunto duly authorized.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT CERTIFICATE

 

 225,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

  Huntington, New York
Warrant Certificate Number: 2011C-032 As of April 1, 2012

 

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, Barry M. Brookstein (the “Warrantholder”), is the registered owner of the number of common stock purchase warrants (each, a “Warrant”) of Compliance Systems Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), set forth above, each Warrant entitling the owner thereof to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of $0.001 per Warrant (the “Purchase Price”), as adjusted from time to time in accordance with section 3 of this Warrant Certificate, at any time on or after the Commencement Date (as defined in paragraph 1(b) below) and terminating at 5:00 p.m., Huntington, New York time, on March 31, 2017 (the “Expiration Time”), one duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share (each, a “Warrant Share”) of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein. The number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate (and the number and kind of securities which may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants), and the Purchase Price per Warrant Share, each as set forth above, are as of the date hereof. As provided herein, the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities which may be purchased upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are, upon the happening of certain events, subject to modification and adjustment.

  

This Warrant Certificate, together with any warrant certificate(s) issued in replacement or substitution hereof (as provided for herein) evidencing all or part of the Warrants evidenced hereby, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Warrant Certificates.”

 

The rights of the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to the following further terms and conditions:

 

1.          Exercise of Warrants.

 

(a)          The Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, during the period commencing on the Commencement Date and terminating at the Expiration Time by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the Exercise Form provided for herein duly completed and executed by the Warrantholder or by the Warrantholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact, at the principal office of the Company, presently located at 780 New York Avenue - Suite A, Huntington, New York 11743, or at such other office or agency in the United States as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder (in either event, the “Company Offices”), accompanied by payment in full, either in the form of cash, bank cashier’s check or certified check payable to the order of the Company, of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the Warrants being exercised.

 

 
 

 

(b)          For purposes of this Warrant Certificate, the term “Commencement Date” shall mean October 1, 2011.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph 1(a), payment of the applicable Purchase Price may be made by means of a “cashless exercise” through the surrender of the number of Warrants and receipt of the number of shares of Common Stock (in each case, as adjusted to reflect the provisions of section 3), determined based upon the following formula:

 

X = Y(A-B)  
  A  
where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Warrantholder upon exercise pursuant to this paragraph 1(c);
  Y = the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants so surrender, without giving effect to this paragraph 1(c);
  A = the per share Current Market Price (as such term is defined in paragraph 3(e)) on the date of delivery to the Company at the Company Offices of this Warrant Certificate and completed Exercise Form; and
  B = the Purchase Price in effect on the date of delivery to the Company at the Company Offices of this Warrant Certificate and completed Exercise Form.

 

(d)          On the day immediately following the date of a valid exercise of any Warrants, the Warrantholder exercising such Warrant(s) shall be deemed to have become the holder of record for all purposes of the Warrant Shares to which such valid exercise relates.

 

(e)          As soon as practicable, but not in excess of five days, after the valid exercise of all or part of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Company, at the Company’s expense (including the payment by Company of any applicable issuance and similar taxes), will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrantholder, or such other party identified in the purchase form, certificates evidencing the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares to which the Warrantholder, or such other party identified in the Exercise Form, shall be entitled upon such exercise, as adjusted to reflect the effects, if any, of the anti-dilution provisions of section 3 of this Warrant Certificate, such certificates to be in such reasonable denominations as Holder shall request when delivering the duly completed Exercise Form.

 

(f)          No certificates for fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of any of the Warrants but, in lieu thereof, the Company shall, upon exercise of all the Warrants, round up any fractional Warrant Shares to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.

 

(g)          If fewer than all of the Warrants are exercised, the Company shall, upon each exercise prior to the Expiration Time, execute and deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant Certificate (dated as of the date hereof) evidencing the balance of the Warrants that remain exercisable.

 

2.          Issuance of Common Stock; Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that:

 

(a)          All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all or part of the Warrants will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof;

(b)          At all times prior to the Expiration Time, the Company shall keep reserved for issuance a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to permit the exercise in full of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate; and

(c)          If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants require registration with, or approval of, any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will promptly use its best efforts to effect such registration or obtain such approval, as the case may be.

3.          Adjustments of Purchase Price, Number and Character of Warrant Shares, Number of Warrants. The Purchase Price and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of the events enumerated in this section 3.

 

(a)          Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. In case the Company shall at any time on or before the Expiration Time:

(i)          pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock or such other stock to holders of all its outstanding shares of Common Stock;

(ii)         subdivide, reclassify or recapitalize the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

(iii)        combine, reclassify or recapitalize the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock; or

(iv)         issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock into any other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation);

then the number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which the Warrantholder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior to the earlier of the happening of such event or any record date in respect thereto. In the event of any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each then outstanding Warrant pursuant to this paragraph 3(a), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the amount resulting from dividing the number of shares of Common Stock (including fractional shares of Common Stock) covered by such Warrant immediately after such adjustment into the total amount payable upon exercise of such Warrant in full immediately prior to such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date for any such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph 3(a) shall occur.

 

(b)          Extraordinary Dividends. In case the Company shall, at any time on or before the Expiration Time, fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options, or warrants to all holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, entitling such holders (for a period expiring within 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share of Common Stock (or having an exchange or conversion price per share of Common Stock, with respect to a security exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) which is lower than the Purchase Price on such record date, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted so that the Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so to be offered (or the aggregate initial exchange or conversion price of the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at the Purchase Price and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered are initially exchangeable or convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on such record date; provided, however, to the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options, or warrants, the Purchase Price shall be readjusted (but only with respect to Warrants exercised after such expiration) to the Purchase Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options, or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) actually issued. In case any subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and shall be described in a statement mailed to the Warrantholder. Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

3
 

 

(c)          Extraordinary Distributions. In case the Company shall, at any time on or before the Expiration Time, distribute to all holders of shares of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends and distributions payable out of consolidated net income or earned surplus in accordance with Nevada law and dividends or distributions payable in shares of stock described in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate) or rights, options, or warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock), then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such distribution by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the Purchase Price as in effect on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so to be distributed or of such rights, options or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock and (ii) the denominator shall be the Purchase Price as in effect on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for such transaction.

 

(d)          Capital Reorganizations and Other Reclassifications. In case of any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock (other than a reclassification, subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock referred to in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate), or in case of the consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other corporation (other than a reclassification of the shares of Common Stock referred to in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate or a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) or of the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation or entity occurring on or before the Expiration Time, each Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale, be exercisable, upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant Certificate, for the kind, amount and number of shares or other securities, assets, or cash to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable (at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger or sale) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth in this section 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly equivalent as possible, to any shares or other securities, assets, or cash thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, or sale, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation or entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation or entity purchasing such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder such shares, securities, assets, or cash as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to purchase and the other obligations hereunder. The subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares shall not be deemed to be a reclassification of the shares of Common Stock for purposes of this paragraph 3(d).

 

(e)          Minimum Adjustment. Except as hereinafter provided, no adjustment of the Purchase Price hereunder shall be made if such adjustment results in a change of the Purchase Price then in effect of less than one cent ($.001) per share. Any adjustment of less than one-tenth of one cent ($.001) per share of any Purchase Price shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, amounts to one-tenth of one cent ($.001) per share or more. However, upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall make all necessary adjustments (to the nearest one-tenth of a cent) not theretofore made to the Purchase Price up to and including the effective date upon which this Warrant Certificate is exercised.

 

(f)          Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Purchase Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the Company made any determination hereunder), by first class mail postage prepaid to the Warrantholder.

(g)          Adjustments to Other Securities. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this section 3, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any shares or securities of the Company other than the shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares or securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the purchase price for such shares or securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as possible to the provisions with respect to the shares of Common Stock contained in paragraphs 3(a), 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d) of this Warrant Certificate.

 

(h)          Deferral of Issuance of Additional Shares in Certain Circumstances. In any case in which paragraph 3(b) of this Warrant Certificate shall require that an adjustment in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of a Warrant exercised after such record date the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Warrant Shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver as soon as practicable to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument provided by the Company evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

 

4.          Definition of Common Stock. The Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be the Common Stock as constituted on the Commencement Date, except as otherwise provided in section 3 of this Warrant Certificate.

 

5.          Replacement of Warrant Certificates. If this Warrant Certificate shall be lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as the Company may in the Company’s discretion reasonably impose, issue a new certificate of like tenor or date representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder. Any such new certificate shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

 

6.          Registration. This Warrant Certificate, as well as all other warrant certificates representing Warrants shall be numbered and shall be registered in a register (the “Warrant Register”) maintained at the Company Offices as they are issued. The Warrant Register shall list the name, address and Social Security or other federal taxpayer identifying number, if any, of all Warrantholders. The Company shall be entitled to treat the Warrantholder as set forth in the Warrant Register as the owner in fact of the Warrants as set forth therein for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrants on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration of transfer of Warrants that are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration of transfer, or with such knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith.         

 

7.          Transfer.

 

(a)          NEITHER THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE NOR THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OR ANY OTHER SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF SUCH WARRANTS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH WARRANTS HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED, AND ANY SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OR ANY OTHER SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF SUCH WARRANTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE ACQUIRED, FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH WARRANTS AND/OR SUCH SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF SUCH WARRANTS AND SUCH SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

8.          Exchange of Warrant Certificates. This Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for another certificate or certificates entitling the Warrantholder thereof to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares as this Warrant Certificate entitles such Warrantholder to purchase. A Warrantholder desiring to so exchange this Warrant Certificate shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender this Warrant Certificate therewith. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and deliver to the person entitled thereto a new certificate or certificates, as the case may be, as so requested.

 

9.          Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered in person, against written receipt therefor, or two days after being sent, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and, if to the Warrantholder, at such address as is shown on the Warrant Register or as may otherwise may have been furnished to the Company in writing in accordance with this section 9 by the Warrantholder and, if to the Company, at the Company Offices or such other address as the Company shall give notice thereof to the Warrantholder in accordance with this section 9.

 

10.         Registration Rights.

 

(a)          Defined Terms. As used in this section 10, terms defined elsewhere herein shall have their assigned meanings and each of the following terms shall have the following meanings (such definitions to be applicable to both the plural and singular of the terms defined):

 

(i)          Registerable Securities. The term “Registerable Securities” shall mean any of the Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of any of the 225,000 Warrants originally issued to Barry M. Brookstein (the “Original Holder”) as of July 1, 2011 and represented, in whole or part, by this Warrant Certificate. For the purposes of this section 10, securities will cease to be Registerable Securities when:

(A)         a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering such Registerable Securities has been declared effective and (1) such Registerable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement or (2) such registration statement has remained effective for 270 consecutive days, or

(B)         such Registerable Securities are distributed to the public pursuant to the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including, without limitation, Rules 144 and 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and the Company has delivered new certificates or other evidences of ownership for such securities which are not subject to any stop transfer order or other restriction on transfer;

(ii)         Rightsholders. The term “Rightsholders” shall include the Warrantholder, all successors and assigns of the Warrantholders and all transferees of Registerable Securities (and/or Warrants exercisable for Warrant Shares) where such transfer affirmatively includes the transfer and assignment of the rights of the transferor-Warrantholder under this Warrant Certificate with respect to the transferred Registerable Securities and such transferee agrees in writing to assume all of the transferor-Warrantholder’s agreements, obligations and liabilities under this section 10 with respect to the transferred Registerable Securities; and

(iii)        Interpretations of Terms. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this section 10 shall refer to this section 10 as a whole and not to any particular provision of this section 10, and subsection, paragraph, clause, schedule and exhibit references are to this section 10 unless otherwise specified.

 

6
 

 

(b)          Piggy-Back Registration.

(i)          Piggy-Back Registration Rights. If, at any time on or prior to the first anniversary of the Expiration Time, the Company (or any successor of the Company, by merger or otherwise) proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company or any other party of any class of equity security similar to any Registerable Securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form or a registration statement filed solely in connection with an exchange offer, a business combination transaction or an offering of securities solely to the existing shareholders or employees of the Company), then the Company, on each such occasion, shall give written notice (each, a “Company Piggy-Back Notice”) of such proposed filing to all of the Rightsholders owning Registerable Securities at least twenty days before the anticipated filing date of such registration statement, and such Company Piggy-Back Notice also shall be required to offer to such Rightsholders the opportunity to register such aggregate number of Registerable Securities as each such Rightsholder may request. Each such Rightsholder shall have the right, exercisable for the fifteen days immediately following the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice, to request, by written notice (each, a “Holder Notice”) to the Company, the inclusion of all or any portion of the Registerable Securities of such Rightsholders in such registration statement. The Company shall use commercially best efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the inclusion of the Registerable Securities which were the subject of all Holder Notices in such underwritten offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subparagraph 10(b)(i), if the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten offering or any proposed underwritten offering delivers a written opinion to the Rightsholders of Registerable Securities which were the subject of all Holder Notices that the total amount and kind of securities which they, the Company and any other person intend to include in such offering is such as to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the amount of securities to be offered for the accounts of such Rightsholders and persons other than the Company shall be eliminated or reduced pro rata (based on the amount of securities owned by such Rightsholders and other persons which carry registration rights) to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter(s) in the managing underwriter’s written opinion.

(ii)         Number of Piggy-Back Registrations; Expenses. The Rightsholders shall be entitled, in the aggregate, to two Piggy-Back Registrations. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10(d) of this Warrant Certificate, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration of Registerable Securities effected pursuant to this paragraph 10(b), but the Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any underwriter’s discount, commission or selling concession in connection therewith.

(iii)        Withdrawal or Suspension of Registration Statement. The Company shall have the absolute right, whether before or after the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice or Holder Notice, to determine not to file a registration statement to which the Rightsholders shall have the right to include their Registerable Securities therein pursuant to this paragraph 10(b), to withdraw such registration statement or to delay or suspend pursuing the effectiveness of such registration statement. In the event of such a determination after the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice, the Company shall give notice of such determination to all Rightsholders and, thereupon, (A) in the case of a determination not to register or to withdraw such registration statement, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation under this paragraph 10(b) to register any of the Registerable Securities in connection with such registration and (B) in the case of a determination to delay the registration, the Company shall be permitted to delay or suspend the registration of Registerable Securities pursuant to this paragraph 10(b) for the same period as the delay in the registration of such other securities. No registration effected under this paragraph 10(b) shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any registration upon demand otherwise granted to a Rightsholder under any other agreement with the Company.

 

(c)          Registration Procedures.

(i)          Obligations of the Company. The Company will, in connection with any registration pursuant to paragraph 10(b) of this Warrant Certificate, as expeditiously as possible:

7
 

(A)         prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act on any appropriate form chosen by the Company, in the Company’s sole discretion, which shall be available for the sale of all Registerable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof set forth in all applicable Holder Notices, and use the Company’s commercially best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable but in no event more than 100 days after receipt of such notices or requests; provided, that, at least five business days before filing with the Commission of such registration statement, the Company shall furnish to each Rightsholder whose Registerable Securities are included therein draft copies of such registration statement, including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, and, upon the reasonable request of any such Rightsholder, shall continue to provide drafts of such registration statement until filed, and, after such filing, the Company shall, as diligently as practicable, provide to each such Rightsholders such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus), all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein and such other documents as such Rightsholder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registerable Securities owned by such Rightsholder and included in such registration statement; provided, further, the Company shall modify or amend the registration statement as it relates to such Rightsholder as reasonably requested by such Rightsholder on a timely basis, and shall reasonably consider other changes to the registration statement (but not including any exhibit or document incorporated therein by reference) reasonably requested by such Rightsholder on a timely basis, in light of the requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable laws and regulations; and provided, further, that the obligation of the Company to effect such registration and/or cause such registration statement to become effective, may be postponed for (1) such period of time when the financial statements of the Company required to be included in such registration statement are not available (due solely to the fact that such financial statements have not been prepared in the regular course of business of the Company) or (2) any other bona fide corporate purpose, but then only for a period not to exceed 60 calendar days;

(B)         prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to a registration statement as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for up to nine months; and cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed to the extent required pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, during such nine-month period; and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registerable Securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method(s) of disposition of such Registerable Securities set forth in such registration statement, prospectus or supplement to such prospectus;

(D)         make commercially best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement at the earliest possible moment and to prevent the entry of such an order;

(E)         use commercially best efforts to register or qualify the Registerable Securities included in such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Rightsholder whose Registerable Securities are included in such registration statement reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable such Rightsholder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Registerable Securities; provided, that the Company will not be required to (1) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this clause (E), (2) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (3) take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(G)         cooperate with the Rightsholders whose Registerable Securities are included in such registration statement and the managing underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registerable Securities to be sold thereunder, not bearing any restrictive legends, and enable such Registerable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as such Rightsholder or any managing underwriter(s) may reasonably request at least two business days prior to any sale of Registerable Securities;

(e)          Indemnification: Contribution.

(i)          Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each Rightsholder, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Rightsholder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), if any, and any agent thereof against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened suit, action, proceeding or investigation (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of investigation) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein 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, except insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon, any such untrue statement or omission based upon information with respect to such Rightsholder furnished in writing to the Company by such Rightsholder expressly for use therein.

(ii)         Indemnification by Rightsholder. In connection with any registration statement in which a Rightsholder is participating, each such Rightsholder will be required to furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Rightsholder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus, and each Rightsholder agrees to the extent it is such a holder of Registerable Securities included in such registration statement, and each other such holder of Registerable Securities included in such Registration Statement will be required to agree, to indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, the Company, the directors and officers of the Company and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any agent thereof, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of investigation incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened suit, action, proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact necessary, to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is based upon information relating to such Rightsholder or other holder furnished in writing to the Company expressly for use therein.

(iii)        Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this paragraph 10(e) of written notice of the commencement of any action, proceeding, suit or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party may claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, such indemnified party shall notify in writing the indemnifying party of such commencement or threat; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party (A) hereunder, unless the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced thereby, or (B) otherwise than under this paragraph 10(e). In case any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party, and the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and the obligation to pay all expenses relating thereto. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party therein or to pay all expenses relating thereto or (C) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and which may result in a conflict between the indemnifying party and such indemnified party (in which case, if the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that the indemnified party elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party; it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action, suit or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the indemnified party, which firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified party).

 

11
 

 

(iv)         Contribution.

(A)         If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph 10(e) from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (A) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other or (B) if the allocation provided by clause (A) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and the indemnified parties 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, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitation set forth in subparagraph 10(e)(v) of this Warrant Certificate, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.

(B)         The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subparagraph 10(e)(iv) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of the immediately preceding paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(v)          Limitation. Anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph 10(e) or in paragraph 10(f) of this Warrant Certificate notwithstanding, no holder of Registerable Securities shall be liable for indemnification and contribution payments aggregating an amount in excess of the maximum dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such holder in connection with any sale of Registerable Securities as contemplated herein.

 

(f)          Participation in Underwritten Registration. No Rightsholder may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Rightsholder (i) agrees to sell such holder’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and to comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, appropriate and limited powers of attorney, escrow agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangement; provided, that all such documents shall be consistent with the provisions of paragraph 10(e) of this Warrant Certificate.

 

11.         Miscellaneous. This Warrant Certificate and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant Certificate is deemed to have been delivered in the State of New York and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of such State. The headings in this Warrant Certificate are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.

 

12.         Expiration. Unless as hereinafter provided, the right to exercise the Warrants shall expire at the Expiration Time.

 

13.         No Rights as Shareholder; Notice to Warrantholder.

 

(a)          Nothing contained in this Warrant Certificate shall be constructed as conferring upon the Warrantholder the right to vote or to receive distributions or to consent to or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter, or any other rights whatsoever as shareholder of the Company.

 

12
 

 

(b)          The Company shall give notice to the Warrantholder by postage-paid, certified mail, return receipt requested, if, at any time prior to the Expiration Time, any of the following events shall occur:

(i)          the Company shall authorize the payment of any distributions upon Common Stock payable in any securities or authorize the making of any distribution (other than a cash distribution subject to the second parenthetical set forth in section 3(c) of this Warrant Certificate) to all holders of Common Stock;

(ii)         the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of Common Stock of any additional shares of Common Stock or of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or of any other subscription rights, options or warrants;

(iii)        a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (including, without limitation, a consolidation, merger, or sale or conveyance of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety); or

(iv)         a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock) or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (excluding any consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing company and that does not result in any reclassification of, or change to, the Common Stock then outstanding) or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety.

 

Such giving of notice shall be given (x) at least twenty business days (a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banks in the State of New York are authorized by law to remain closed) prior to the date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the Company’s transfer books for the determination of the holders entitled to such distribution or subscription rights, or for the determination of the holders entitled to vote on such proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or conversion to corporate or other form. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. In addition, the Company shall provide to Warrantholder, at the same time such notice is provided, such information relating to such distribution or subscriptions rights, or proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or conversion to corporate or other form as may be reasonably necessary for Warrantholder to make an informed decision whether to exercise Warrantholder’s rights as evidenced by this Warrant Certificate.

 

14.         Severability. If any term or other provision of this Warrant Certificate is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Warrant Certificate shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either the Company or Warrantholder. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Company and Warrantholder shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Warrant Certificate so as to effect the original intent of the Company and the Original Holder in connection with the issuance of the Warrants, to the greatest extent possible. Any provision of this Warrant Certificate held invalid or unenforceable only in part, degree or in certain jurisdictions will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

  

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Compliance Systems Corporation has caused this Warrant Certificate to be executed by its officer thereunto duly authorized.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT CERTIFICATE

 

675,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

  Huntington, New York
Warrant Certificate Number: 2011C-033 As of April 1, 2012

 

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, Henry A. Ponzio (the “Warrantholder”), is the registered owner of the number of common stock purchase warrants (each, a “Warrant”) of Compliance Systems Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), set forth above, each Warrant entitling the owner thereof to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of $0.001 per Warrant (the “Purchase Price”), as adjusted from time to time in accordance with section 3 of this Warrant Certificate, at any time on or after the Commencement Date (as defined in paragraph 1(b) below) and terminating at 5:00 p.m., Huntington, New York time, on March 31, 2017 (the “Expiration Time”), one duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share (each, a “Warrant Share”) of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein. The number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate (and the number and kind of securities which may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants), and the Purchase Price per Warrant Share, each as set forth above, are as of the date hereof. As provided herein, the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities which may be purchased upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are, upon the happening of certain events, subject to modification and adjustment.

 

This Warrant Certificate, together with any warrant certificate(s) issued in replacement or substitution hereof (as provided for herein) evidencing all or part of the Warrants evidenced hereby, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Warrant Certificates.”

 

The rights of the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to the following further terms and conditions:

 

1.            Exercise of Warrants.

 

(a)          The Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, during the period commencing on the Commencement Date and terminating at the Expiration Time by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the Exercise Form provided for herein duly completed and executed by the Warrantholder or by the Warrantholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact, at the principal office of the Company, presently located at 780 New York Avenue - Suite A, Huntington, New York 11743, or at such other office or agency in the United States as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder (in either event, the “Company Offices”), accompanied by payment in full, either in the form of cash, bank cashier’s check or certified check payable to the order of the Company, of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the Warrants being exercised.

 

 
 

 

(b)          For purposes of this Warrant Certificate, the term “Commencement Date” shall mean October 1, 2011.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph 1(a), payment of the applicable Purchase Price may be made by means of a “cashless exercise” through the surrender of the number of Warrants and receipt of the number of shares of Common Stock (in each case, as adjusted to reflect the provisions of section 3), determined based upon the following formula:

 

  X =   Y(A-B)    
      A    
  where:   X =   the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Warrantholder upon exercise pursuant to this paragraph 1(c);
    Y =    the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants so surrender, without giving effect to this paragraph 1(c);
    A =    the per share Current Market Price (as such term is defined in paragraph 3(e)) on the date of delivery to the Company at the Company Offices of this Warrant Certificate and completed Exercise Form; and
    B =    the Purchase Price in effect on the date of delivery to the Company at the Company Offices of this Warrant Certificate and completed Exercise Form.

 

(d)          On the day immediately following the date of a valid exercise of any Warrants, the Warrantholder exercising such Warrant(s) shall be deemed to have become the holder of record for all purposes of the Warrant Shares to which such valid exercise relates.

 

(e)          As soon as practicable, but not in excess of five days, after the valid exercise of all or part of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Company, at the Company’s expense (including the payment by Company of any applicable issuance and similar taxes), will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrantholder, or such other party identified in the purchase form, certificates evidencing the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares to which the Warrantholder, or such other party identified in the Exercise Form, shall be entitled upon such exercise, as adjusted to reflect the effects, if any, of the anti-dilution provisions of section 3 of this Warrant Certificate, such certificates to be in such reasonable denominations as Holder shall request when delivering the duly completed Exercise Form.

 

(f)          No certificates for fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of any of the Warrants but, in lieu thereof, the Company shall, upon exercise of all the Warrants, round up any fractional Warrant Shares to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.

 

(g)          If fewer than all of the Warrants are exercised, the Company shall, upon each exercise prior to the Expiration Time, execute and deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant Certificate (dated as of the date hereof) evidencing the balance of the Warrants that remain exercisable.

 

2.            Issuance of Common Stock; Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that:

 

(a)          All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all or part of the Warrants will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof;

(b)          At all times prior to the Expiration Time, the Company shall keep reserved for issuance a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to permit the exercise in full of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate; and

(c)          If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants require registration with, or approval of, any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will promptly use its best efforts to effect such registration or obtain such approval, as the case may be.

 

2
 

 

3.            Adjustments of Purchase Price, Number and Character of Warrant Shares, Number of Warrants. The Purchase Price and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of the events enumerated in this section 3.

 

(a)          Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. In case the Company shall at any time on or before the Expiration Time:

(i)          pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock or such other stock to holders of all its outstanding shares of Common Stock;

(ii)         subdivide, reclassify or recapitalize the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

(iii)        combine, reclassify or recapitalize the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock; or

(iv)        issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock into any other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation);

then the number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which the Warrantholder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior to the earlier of the happening of such event or any record date in respect thereto. In the event of any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each then outstanding Warrant pursuant to this paragraph 3(a), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the amount resulting from dividing the number of shares of Common Stock (including fractional shares of Common Stock) covered by such Warrant immediately after such adjustment into the total amount payable upon exercise of such Warrant in full immediately prior to such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date for any such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph 3(a) shall occur.

 

(b)          Extraordinary Dividends. In case the Company shall, at any time on or before the Expiration Time, fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options, or warrants to all holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, entitling such holders (for a period expiring within 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share of Common Stock (or having an exchange or conversion price per share of Common Stock, with respect to a security exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) which is lower than the Purchase Price on such record date, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted so that the Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so to be offered (or the aggregate initial exchange or conversion price of the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at the Purchase Price and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered are initially exchangeable or convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on such record date; provided, however, to the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options, or warrants, the Purchase Price shall be readjusted (but only with respect to Warrants exercised after such expiration) to the Purchase Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options, or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) actually issued. In case any subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and shall be described in a statement mailed to the Warrantholder. Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

3
 

 

(c)          Extraordinary Distributions. In case the Company shall, at any time on or before the Expiration Time, distribute to all holders of shares of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends and distributions payable out of consolidated net income or earned surplus in accordance with Nevada law and dividends or distributions payable in shares of stock described in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate) or rights, options, or warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock), then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such distribution by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the Purchase Price as in effect on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so to be distributed or of such rights, options or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock and (ii) the denominator shall be the Purchase Price as in effect on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for such transaction.

 

(d)          Capital Reorganizations and Other Reclassifications. In case of any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock (other than a reclassification, subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock referred to in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate), or in case of the consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other corporation (other than a reclassification of the shares of Common Stock referred to in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate or a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) or of the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation or entity occurring on or before the Expiration Time, each Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale, be exercisable, upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant Certificate, for the kind, amount and number of shares or other securities, assets, or cash to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable (at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger or sale) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth in this section 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly equivalent as possible, to any shares or other securities, assets, or cash thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, or sale, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation or entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation or entity purchasing such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder such shares, securities, assets, or cash as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to purchase and the other obligations hereunder. The subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares shall not be deemed to be a reclassification of the shares of Common Stock for purposes of this paragraph 3(d).

 

(e)          Minimum Adjustment. Except as hereinafter provided, no adjustment of the Purchase Price hereunder shall be made if such adjustment results in a change of the Purchase Price then in effect of less than one cent ($.001) per share. Any adjustment of less than one-tenth of one cent ($.001) per share of any Purchase Price shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, amounts to one-tenth of one cent ($.001) per share or more. However, upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall make all necessary adjustments (to the nearest one-tenth of a cent) not theretofore made to the Purchase Price up to and including the effective date upon which this Warrant Certificate is exercised.

 

(f)          Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Purchase Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the Company made any determination hereunder), by first class mail postage prepaid to the Warrantholder.

 

4
 

 

(g)          Adjustments to Other Securities. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this section 3, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any shares or securities of the Company other than the shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares or securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the purchase price for such shares or securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as possible to the provisions with respect to the shares of Common Stock contained in paragraphs 3(a), 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d) of this Warrant Certificate.

 

(h)          Deferral of Issuance of Additional Shares in Certain Circumstances. In any case in which paragraph 3(b) of this Warrant Certificate shall require that an adjustment in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of a Warrant exercised after such record date the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Warrant Shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver as soon as practicable to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument provided by the Company evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

Any such new certificate shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

 

6.            Registration. This Warrant Certificate, as well as all other warrant certificates representing Warrants shall be numbered and shall be registered in a register (the “Warrant Register”) maintained at the Company Offices as they are issued. The Warrant Register shall list the name, address and Social Security or other federal taxpayer identifying number, if any, of all Warrantholders. The Company shall be entitled to treat the Warrantholder as set forth in the Warrant Register as the owner in fact of the Warrants as set forth therein for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrants on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration of transfer of Warrants that are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration of transfer, or with such knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith.

8.            Exchange of Warrant Certificates. This Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for another certificate or certificates entitling the Warrantholder thereof to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares as this Warrant Certificate entitles such Warrantholder to purchase.

10.           Registration Rights.

 

(a)          Defined Terms. As used in this section 10, terms defined elsewhere herein shall have their assigned meanings and each of the following terms shall have the following meanings (such definitions to be applicable to both the plural and singular of the terms defined):

(i)          Registerable Securities. The term “Registerable Securities” shall mean any of the Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of any of the 675,000 Warrants originally issued to Henry A. Ponzio (the “Original Holder”) as of July 1, 2011 and represented, in whole or part, by this Warrant Certificate. For the purposes of this section 10, securities will cease to be Registerable Securities when:

(A)         a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering such Registerable Securities has been declared effective and (1) such Registerable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement or (2) such registration statement has remained effective for 270 consecutive days, or

(B)         such Registerable Securities are distributed to the public pursuant to the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including, without limitation, Rules 144 and 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and the Company has delivered new certificates or other evidences of ownership for such securities which are not subject to any stop transfer order or other restriction on transfer;

(ii)         Rightsholders. The term “Rightsholders” shall include the Warrantholder, all successors and assigns of the Warrantholders and all transferees of Registerable Securities (and/or Warrants exercisable for Warrant Shares) where such transfer affirmatively includes the transfer and assignment of the rights of the transferor-Warrantholder under this Warrant Certificate with respect to the transferred Registerable Securities and such transferee agrees in writing to assume all of the transferor-Warrantholder’s agreements, obligations and liabilities under this section 10 with respect to the transferred Registerable Securities; and

(iii)        Interpretations of Terms. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this section 10 shall refer to this section 10 as a whole and not to any particular provision of this section 10, and subsection, paragraph, clause, schedule and exhibit references are to this section 10 unless otherwise specified.

(b)          Piggy-Back Registration.

(i)          Piggy-Back Registration Rights. If, at any time on or prior to the first anniversary of the Expiration Time, the Company (or any successor of the Company, by merger or otherwise) proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company or any other party of any class of equity security similar to any Registerable Securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form or a registration statement filed solely in connection with an exchange offer, a business combination transaction or an offering of securities solely to the existing shareholders or employees of the Company), then the Company, on each such occasion, shall give written notice (each, a “Company Piggy-Back Notice”) of such proposed filing to all of the Rightsholders owning Registerable Securities at least twenty days before the anticipated filing date of such registration statement, and such Company Piggy-Back Notice also shall be required to offer to such Rightsholders the opportunity to register such aggregate number of Registerable Securities as each such Rightsholder may request. Each such Rightsholder shall have the right, exercisable for the fifteen days immediately following the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice, to request, by written notice (each, a “Holder Notice”) to the Company, the inclusion of all or any portion of the Registerable Securities of such Rightsholders in such registration statement. The Company shall use commercially best efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the inclusion of the Registerable Securities which were the subject of all Holder Notices in such underwritten offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subparagraph 10(b)(i), if the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten offering or any proposed underwritten offering delivers a written opinion to the Rightsholders of Registerable Securities which were the subject of all Holder Notices that the total amount and kind of securities which they, the Company and any other person intend to include in such offering is such as to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the amount of securities to be offered for the accounts of such Rightsholders and persons other than the Company shall be eliminated or reduced pro rata (based on the amount of securities owned by such Rightsholders and other persons which carry registration rights) to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter(s) in the managing underwriter’s written opinion.

(ii)         Number of Piggy-Back Registrations; Expenses. The Rightsholders shall be entitled, in the aggregate, to two Piggy-Back Registrations. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10(d) of this Warrant Certificate, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration of Registerable Securities effected pursuant to this paragraph 10(b), but the Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any underwriter’s discount, commission or selling concession in connection therewith.

(iii)        Withdrawal or Suspension of Registration Statement. The Company shall have the absolute right, whether before or after the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice or Holder Notice, to determine not to file a registration statement to which the Rightsholders shall have the right to include their Registerable Securities therein pursuant to this paragraph 10(b), to withdraw such registration statement or to delay or suspend pursuing the effectiveness of such registration statement. In the event of such a determination after the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice, the Company shall give notice of such determination to all Rightsholders and, thereupon, (A) in the case of a determination not to register or to withdraw such registration statement, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation under this paragraph 10(b) to register any of the Registerable Securities in connection with such registration and (B) in the case of a determination to delay the registration, the Company shall be permitted to delay or suspend the registration of Registerable Securities pursuant to this paragraph 10(b) for the same period as the delay in the registration of such other securities. No registration effected under this paragraph 10(b) shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any registration upon demand otherwise granted to a Rightsholder under any other agreement with the Company.

(iii)        Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this paragraph 10(e) of written notice of the commencement of any action, proceeding, suit or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party may claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, such indemnified party shall notify in writing the indemnifying party of such commencement or threat; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party (A) hereunder, unless the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced thereby, or (B) otherwise than under this paragraph 10(e). In case any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party, and the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and the obligation to pay all expenses relating thereto. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party therein or to pay all expenses relating thereto or (C) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and which may result in a conflict between the indemnifying party and such indemnified party (in which case, if the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that the indemnified party elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party; it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action, suit or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the indemnified party, which firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified party).

(iv)        Contribution.

(A)         If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph 10(e) from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (A) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other or (B) if the allocation provided by clause (A) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and the indemnified parties 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, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitation set forth in subparagraph 10(e)(v) of this Warrant Certificate, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.

(B)         The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subparagraph 10(e)(iv) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of the immediately preceding paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(v)         Limitation. Anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph 10(e) or in paragraph 10(f) of this Warrant Certificate notwithstanding, no holder of Registerable Securities shall be liable for indemnification and contribution payments aggregating an amount in excess of the maximum dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such holder in connection with any sale of Registerable Securities as contemplated herein.

 

(f)          Participation in Underwritten Registration. No Rightsholder may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Rightsholder (i) agrees to sell such holder’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and to comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, appropriate and limited powers of attorney, escrow agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangement; provided, that all such documents shall be consistent with the provisions of paragraph 10(e) of this Warrant Certificate.

(b)          The Company shall give notice to the Warrantholder by postage-paid, certified mail, return receipt requested, if, at any time prior to the Expiration Time, any of the following events shall occur:

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT CERTIFICATE

 

1,050,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

  Huntington, New York
Warrant Certificate Number: 2011C-034 As of April 1, 2012

 

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, Nascap Corp. (the “Warrantholder”), is the registered owner of the number of common stock purchase warrants (each, a “Warrant”) of Compliance Systems Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), set forth above, each Warrant entitling the owner thereof to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of $0.001 per Warrant (the “Purchase Price”), as adjusted from time to time in accordance with section 3 of this Warrant Certificate, at any time on or after the Commencement Date (as defined in paragraph 1(b) below) and terminating at 5:00 p.m., Huntington, New York time, on March 31, 2017 (the “Expiration Time”), one duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share (each, a “Warrant Share”) of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein. The number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate (and the number and kind of securities which may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants), and the Purchase Price per Warrant Share, each as set forth above, are as of the date hereof. As provided herein, the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities which may be purchased upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are, upon the happening of certain events, subject to modification and adjustment.

 

This Warrant Certificate, together with any warrant certificate(s) issued in replacement or substitution hereof (as provided for herein) evidencing all or part of the Warrants evidenced hereby, are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Warrant Certificates.”

 

The rights of the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to the following further terms and conditions:

 

1.            Exercise of Warrants.

 

(a)          The Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, during the period commencing on the Commencement Date and terminating at the Expiration Time by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the Exercise Form provided for herein duly completed and executed by the Warrantholder or by the Warrantholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact, at the principal office of the Company, presently located at 780 New York Avenue - Suite A, Huntington, New York 11743, or at such other office or agency in the United States as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder (in either event, the “Company Offices”), accompanied by payment in full, either in the form of cash, bank cashier’s check or certified check payable to the order of the Company, of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the Warrants being exercised.

 

 
 

 

(b)          For purposes of this Warrant Certificate, the term “Commencement Date” shall mean October 1, 2011.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph 1(a), payment of the applicable Purchase Price may be made by means of a “cashless exercise” through the surrender of the number of Warrants and receipt of the number of shares of Common Stock (in each case, as adjusted to reflect the provisions of section 3), determined based upon the following formula:

 

  X =   Y(A-B)    
      A    
  where:   X =   the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Warrantholder upon exercise pursuant to this paragraph 1(c);
      Y =   the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants so surrender, without giving effect to this paragraph 1(c);
      A =   the per share Current Market Price (as such term is defined in paragraph 3(e)) on the date of delivery to the Company at the Company Offices of this Warrant Certificate and completed Exercise Form; and
      B =   the Purchase Price in effect on the date of delivery to the Company at the Company Offices of this Warrant Certificate and completed Exercise Form.

 

(d)          On the day immediately following the date of a valid exercise of any Warrants, the Warrantholder exercising such Warrant(s) shall be deemed to have become the holder of record for all purposes of the Warrant Shares to which such valid exercise relates.

 

(e)          As soon as practicable, but not in excess of five days, after the valid exercise of all or part of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Company, at the Company’s expense (including the payment by Company of any applicable issuance and similar taxes), will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrantholder, or such other party identified in the purchase form, certificates evidencing the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares to which the Warrantholder, or such other party identified in the Exercise Form, shall be entitled upon such exercise, as adjusted to reflect the effects, if any, of the anti-dilution provisions of section 3 of this Warrant Certificate, such certificates to be in such reasonable denominations as Holder shall request when delivering the duly completed Exercise Form.

 

(f)          No certificates for fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of any of the Warrants but, in lieu thereof, the Company shall, upon exercise of all the Warrants, round up any fractional Warrant Shares to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.

 

(g)          If fewer than all of the Warrants are exercised, the Company shall, upon each exercise prior to the Expiration Time, execute and deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant Certificate (dated as of the date hereof) evidencing the balance of the Warrants that remain exercisable.

 

2.            Issuance of Common Stock; Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that:

 

(a)          All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all or part of the Warrants will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof;

(b)          At all times prior to the Expiration Time, the Company shall keep reserved for issuance a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to permit the exercise in full of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate; and

 

2
 

 

(c)          If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants require registration with, or approval of, any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will promptly use its best efforts to effect such registration or obtain such approval, as the case may be.

 

3.            Adjustments of Purchase Price, Number and Character of Warrant Shares, Number of Warrants. The Purchase Price and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of the events enumerated in this section 3.

 

(a)          Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. In case the Company shall at any time on or before the Expiration Time:

(i)          pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock or such other stock to holders of all its outstanding shares of Common Stock;

(ii)         subdivide, reclassify or recapitalize the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

(iii)        combine, reclassify or recapitalize the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock; or

(iv)        issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock into any other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation);

then the number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which the Warrantholder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior to the earlier of the happening of such event or any record date in respect thereto. In the event of any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each then outstanding Warrant pursuant to this paragraph 3(a), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the amount resulting from dividing the number of shares of Common Stock (including fractional shares of Common Stock) covered by such Warrant immediately after such adjustment into the total amount payable upon exercise of such Warrant in full immediately prior to such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date for any such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph 3(a) shall occur.

 

(b)          Extraordinary Dividends. In case the Company shall, at any time on or before the Expiration Time, fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options, or warrants to all holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, entitling such holders (for a period expiring within 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share of Common Stock (or having an exchange or conversion price per share of Common Stock, with respect to a security exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) which is lower than the Purchase Price on such record date, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted so that the Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so to be offered (or the aggregate initial exchange or conversion price of the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at the Purchase Price and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered are initially exchangeable or convertible). Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on such record date; provided, however, to the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options, or warrants, the Purchase Price shall be readjusted (but only with respect to Warrants exercised after such expiration) to the Purchase Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options, or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) actually issued. In case any subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and shall be described in a statement mailed to the Warrantholder. Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

3
 

 

(c)          Extraordinary Distributions. In case the Company shall, at any time on or before the Expiration Time, distribute to all holders of shares of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends and distributions payable out of consolidated net income or earned surplus in accordance with Nevada law and dividends or distributions payable in shares of stock described in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate) or rights, options, or warrants or exchangeable or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock), then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such distribution by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the Purchase Price as in effect on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so to be distributed or of such rights, options or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock and (ii) the denominator shall be the Purchase Price as in effect on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for such transaction.

 

(d)          Capital Reorganizations and Other Reclassifications. In case of any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock (other than a reclassification, subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock referred to in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate), or in case of the consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other corporation (other than a reclassification of the shares of Common Stock referred to in paragraph 3(a) of this Warrant Certificate or a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) or of the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation or entity occurring on or before the Expiration Time, each Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale, be exercisable, upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant Certificate, for the kind, amount and number of shares or other securities, assets, or cash to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable (at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger or sale) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth in this section 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly equivalent as possible, to any shares or other securities, assets, or cash thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, or sale, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation or entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation or entity purchasing such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder such shares, securities, assets, or cash as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to purchase and the other obligations hereunder. The subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares shall not be deemed to be a reclassification of the shares of Common Stock for purposes of this paragraph 3(d).

 

(e)          Minimum Adjustment. Except as hereinafter provided, no adjustment of the Purchase Price hereunder shall be made if such adjustment results in a change of the Purchase Price then in effect of less than one cent ($.001) per share. Any adjustment of less than one-tenth of one cent ($.001) per share of any Purchase Price shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, amounts to one-tenth of one cent ($.001) per share or more. However, upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall make all necessary adjustments (to the nearest one-tenth of a cent) not theretofore made to the Purchase Price up to and including the effective date upon which this Warrant Certificate is exercised.

 

(f)          Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Purchase Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the Company made any determination hereunder), by first class mail postage prepaid to the Warrantholder.

 

4
 

 

(g)          Adjustments to Other Securities. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this section 3, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any shares or securities of the Company other than the shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares or securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the purchase price for such shares or securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as possible to the provisions with respect to the shares of Common Stock contained in paragraphs 3(a), 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d) of this Warrant Certificate.

 

(h)          Deferral of Issuance of Additional Shares in Certain Circumstances. In any case in which paragraph 3(b) of this Warrant Certificate shall require that an adjustment in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of a Warrant exercised after such record date the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Warrant Shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver as soon as practicable to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument provided by the Company evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

 

4.            Definition of Common Stock. The Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be the Common Stock as constituted on the Commencement Date, except as otherwise provided in section 3 of this Warrant Certificate.

 

5.            Replacement of Warrant Certificates. If this Warrant Certificate shall be lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as the Company may in the Company’s discretion reasonably impose, issue a new certificate of like tenor or date representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder. Any such new certificate shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

 

6.            Registration. This Warrant Certificate, as well as all other warrant certificates representing Warrants shall be numbered and shall be registered in a register (the “Warrant Register”) maintained at the Company Offices as they are issued. The Warrant Register shall list the name, address and Social Security or other federal taxpayer identifying number, if any, of all Warrantholders. The Company shall be entitled to treat the Warrantholder as set forth in the Warrant Register as the owner in fact of the Warrants as set forth therein for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrants on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration of transfer of Warrants that are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration of transfer, or with such knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith.

 

7.            Transfer.

 

(a)          NEITHER THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE NOR THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OR ANY OTHER SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF SUCH WARRANTS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH WARRANTS HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED, AND ANY SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OR ANY OTHER SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF SUCH WARRANTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE ACQUIRED, FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH WARRANTS AND/OR SUCH SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF SUCH WARRANTS AND SUCH SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

5
 

 

(b)          In the event of a transfer of any Warrants in accordance with this section 7, the Company shall, upon the surrender of this Warrant Certificate with the Assignment Form completed, dated and signed, execute and deliver to the transferee a new warrant certificate, substantially in form to this Warrant Certificate, evidencing the number of Warrants so transferred to such transferee and naming the transferee as the Warrantholder.

 

8.            Exchange of Warrant Certificates. This Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for another certificate or certificates entitling the Warrantholder thereof to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares as this Warrant Certificate entitles such Warrantholder to purchase. A Warrantholder desiring to so exchange this Warrant Certificate shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender this Warrant Certificate therewith. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and deliver to the person entitled thereto a new certificate or certificates, as the case may be, as so requested.

 

9.            Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered in person, against written receipt therefor, or two days after being sent, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and, if to the Warrantholder, at such address as is shown on the Warrant Register or as may otherwise may have been furnished to the Company in writing in accordance with this section 9 by the Warrantholder and, if to the Company, at the Company Offices or such other address as the Company shall give notice thereof to the Warrantholder in accordance with this section 9.

 

10.           Registration Rights.

 

(a)          Defined Terms. As used in this section 10, terms defined elsewhere herein shall have their assigned meanings and each of the following terms shall have the following meanings (such definitions to be applicable to both the plural and singular of the terms defined):

(i)          Registerable Securities. The term “Registerable Securities” shall mean any of the Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of any of the 1,050,000 Warrants originally issued to Nascap Corp. (the “Original Holder”) as of July 1, 2011 and represented, in whole or part, by this Warrant Certificate. For the purposes of this section 10, securities will cease to be Registerable Securities when:

(A)         a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering such Registerable Securities has been declared effective and (1) such Registerable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement or (2) such registration statement has remained effective for 270 consecutive days, or

(B)         such Registerable Securities are distributed to the public pursuant to the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including, without limitation, Rules 144 and 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and the Company has delivered new certificates or other evidences of ownership for such securities which are not subject to any stop transfer order or other restriction on transfer;

(ii)         Rightsholders. The term “Rightsholders” shall include the Warrantholder, all successors and assigns of the Warrantholders and all transferees of Registerable Securities (and/or Warrants exercisable for Warrant Shares) where such transfer affirmatively includes the transfer and assignment of the rights of the transferor-Warrantholder under this Warrant Certificate with respect to the transferred Registerable Securities and such transferee agrees in writing to assume all of the transferor-Warrantholder’s agreements, obligations and liabilities under this section 10 with respect to the transferred Registerable Securities; and

(iii)        Interpretations of Terms. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this section 10 shall refer to this section 10 as a whole and not to any particular provision of this section 10, and subsection, paragraph, clause, schedule and exhibit references are to this section 10 unless otherwise specified.

 

6
 

 

(b)          Piggy-Back Registration.

 (i)          Piggy-Back Registration Rights. If, at any time on or prior to the first anniversary of the Expiration Time, the Company (or any successor of the Company, by merger or otherwise) proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company or any other party of any class of equity security similar to any Registerable Securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form or a registration statement filed solely in connection with an exchange offer, a business combination transaction or an offering of securities solely to the existing shareholders or employees of the Company), then the Company, on each such occasion, shall give written notice (each, a “Company Piggy-Back Notice”) of such proposed filing to all of the Rightsholders owning Registerable Securities at least twenty days before the anticipated filing date of such registration statement, and such Company Piggy-Back Notice also shall be required to offer to such Rightsholders the opportunity to register such aggregate number of Registerable Securities as each such Rightsholder may request. Each such Rightsholder shall have the right, exercisable for the fifteen days immediately following the giving of a Company Piggy-Back Notice, to request, by written notice (each, a “Holder Notice”) to the Company, the inclusion of all or any portion of the Registerable Securities of such Rightsholders in such registration statement. The Company shall use commercially best efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the inclusion of the Registerable Securities which were the subject of all Holder Notices in such underwritten offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subparagraph 10(b)(i), if the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten offering or any proposed underwritten offering delivers a written opinion to the Rightsholders of Registerable Securities which were the subject of all Holder Notices that the total amount and kind of securities which they, the Company and any other person intend to include in such offering is such as to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the amount of securities to be offered for the accounts of such Rightsholders and persons other than the Company shall be eliminated or reduced pro rata (based on the amount of securities owned by such Rightsholders and other persons which carry registration rights) to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter(s) in the managing underwriter’s written opinion.

(ii)         Number of Piggy-Back Registrations; Expenses. The Rightsholders shall be entitled, in the aggregate, to two Piggy-Back Registrations. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10(d) of this Warrant Certificate, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration of Registerable Securities effected pursuant to this paragraph 10(b), but the Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any underwriter’s discount, commission or selling concession in connection therewith.

(e)          Indemnification: Contribution.

(i)          Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each Rightsholder, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Rightsholder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), if any, and any agent thereof against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened suit, action, proceeding or investigation (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of investigation) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein 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, except insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon, any such untrue statement or omission based upon information with respect to such Rightsholder furnished in writing to the Company by such Rightsholder expressly for use therein.

(ii)         Indemnification by Rightsholder. In connection with any registration statement in which a Rightsholder is participating, each such Rightsholder will be required to furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Rightsholder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus, and each Rightsholder agrees to the extent it is such a holder of Registerable Securities included in such registration statement, and each other such holder of Registerable Securities included in such Registration Statement will be required to agree, to indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, the Company, the directors and officers of the Company and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any agent thereof, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of investigation incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened suit, action, proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact necessary, to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is based upon information relating to such Rightsholder or other holder furnished in writing to the Company expressly for use therein.

(iii)        Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this paragraph 10(e) of written notice of the commencement of any action, proceeding, suit or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party may claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, such indemnified party shall notify in writing the indemnifying party of such commencement or threat; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party (A) hereunder, unless the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced thereby, or (B) otherwise than under this paragraph 10(e). In case any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party, and the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and the obligation to pay all expenses relating thereto. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party therein or to pay all expenses relating thereto or (C) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and which may result in a conflict between the indemnifying party and such indemnified party (in which case, if the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that the indemnified party elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party; it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action, suit or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the indemnified party, which firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified party).

 

11
 

 

(iv)        Contribution.

(A)         If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph 10(e) from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (A) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other or (B) if the allocation provided by clause (A) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and the indemnified parties 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, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitation set forth in subparagraph 10(e)(v) of this Warrant Certificate, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.

(B)         The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subparagraph 10(e)(iv) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of the immediately preceding paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(v)         Limitation. Anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph 10(e) or in paragraph 10(f) of this Warrant Certificate notwithstanding, no holder of Registerable Securities shall be liable for indemnification and contribution payments aggregating an amount in excess of the maximum dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such holder in connection with any sale of Registerable Securities as contemplated herein.

 

(f)          Participation in Underwritten Registration. No Rightsholder may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Rightsholder (i) agrees to sell such holder’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and to comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, appropriate and limited powers of attorney, escrow agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangement; provided, that all such documents shall be consistent with the provisions of paragraph 10(e) of this Warrant Certificate.

 

11.           Miscellaneous. This Warrant Certificate and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant Certificate is deemed to have been delivered in the State of New York and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of such State. The headings in this Warrant Certificate are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.

 

12.           Expiration. Unless as hereinafter provided, the right to exercise the Warrants shall expire at the Expiration Time.

 

13.           No Rights as Shareholder; Notice to Warrantholder.

 

(a)          Nothing contained in this Warrant Certificate shall be constructed as conferring upon the Warrantholder the right to vote or to receive distributions or to consent to or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter, or any other rights whatsoever as shareholder of the Company.

 

12
 

 

(b)          The Company shall give notice to the Warrantholder by postage-paid, certified mail, return receipt requested, if, at any time prior to the Expiration Time, any of the following events shall occur:

(i)          the Company shall authorize the payment of any distributions upon Common Stock payable in any securities or authorize the making of any distribution (other than a cash distribution subject to the second parenthetical set forth in section 3(c) of this Warrant Certificate) to all holders of Common Stock;

(ii)         the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of Common Stock of any additional shares of Common Stock or of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or of any other subscription rights, options or warrants;

(iii)        a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (including, without limitation, a consolidation, merger, or sale or conveyance of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety); or

(iv)        a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock) or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (excluding any consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing company and that does not result in any reclassification of, or change to, the Common Stock then outstanding) or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety.

 

Such giving of notice shall be given (x) at least twenty business days (a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banks in the State of New York are authorized by law to remain closed) prior to the date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the Company’s transfer books for the determination of the holders entitled to such distribution or subscription rights, or for the determination of the holders entitled to vote on such proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or conversion to corporate or other form. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. In addition, the Company shall provide to Warrantholder, at the same time such notice is provided, such information relating to such distribution or subscriptions rights, or proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or conversion to corporate or other form as may be reasonably necessary for Warrantholder to make an informed decision whether to exercise Warrantholder’s rights as evidenced by this Warrant Certificate.

 

14.           Severability. If any term or other provision of this Warrant Certificate is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Warrant Certificate shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either the Company or Warrantholder. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Company and Warrantholder shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Warrant Certificate so as to effect the original intent of the Company and the Original Holder in connection with the issuance of the Warrants, to the greatest extent possible. Any provision of this Warrant Certificate held invalid or unenforceable only in part, degree or in certain jurisdictions will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Compliance Systems Corporation has caused this Warrant Certificate to be executed by its officer thereunto duly authorized.

A. Secured Demand Note – Nascap Corp. (“Nascap”)

 

In September 2006, CCI executed a secured $150,000 promissory note and related security agreement with Nascap.  Interest at 12% per annum was payable monthly in arrears and the note principal was due on demand.  The note was collateralized by the accounts receivable of the principal subsidiary and was unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.

 

As of March 31, 2009, the Company entered into a Loan Modification Agreement with Nascap.  The original Nascap note was amended and restated as a revolving line of credit promissory note (“Nascap Restated Note”) in the principal amount not to exceed $750,000.  The Nascap Restated Note contains the same terms and conditions as the original note, except for the revolving line of credit nature of the debt.   Accrued and unpaid interest on the Nascap note totaled $105,000 and $94,500 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 respectively.   At both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $350,000 was outstanding on this note.

 

B. Promissory Note – John Koehler (“Koehler”)

 

On October 1, 2003, the predecessor to Execuserve issued a $150,000 non-interest bearing promissory note to Koehler, an investor in the predecessor.  The note was amended on October 25, 2004.  Upon the acquisition of Execuserve by the Company, Koehler was owed $37,000 and was to be repaid in monthly installments of $1,000.  The Company is in default as it has not made a payment since September 2010.  The balance due to Koehler at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 totaled $30,000.

Significant Accounting Policies Applicable to Interim Financial Statements
3. Significant Accounting Policies Applicable to Interim Financial Statements:

 

A.   Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to dilutive convertible securities, options, warrants and other potential common stock outstanding during the period, only in periods in which such effect is dilutive.   The following securities have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

 

    March 31, 2012     March 31, 2011  
Preferred stock     587,231,900       562,231,900  
Warrants     230,986,100       134,307,500  
Stock options     10,000,000       40,000,000  

 

B.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Substantially all of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and all debt, are carried at, or approximate, fair value because of their short-term nature or because they carry market rates of interest.  The warrant liability was valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  See Note 7F.

 

C.  Stock Based Compensation Arrangements

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).  This guidance addresses all forms of share-based payment awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights, as well as share grants and other awards issued to employees and non-employees under free-standing arrangements.  These awards are recorded at costs that are measured at fair value on the awards’ grant dates, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in charges to operations.

 

The Company valued these issuances utilizing a Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:  share price, exercise price, expected volatility, risk-free rate and term.

 

The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method is based on the implied yield currently available in U.S. Treasury securities at maturity with an equivalent term.  The Company has not declared or paid any dividends and does not currently expect to do so in the future.  The expected term of options represents the period that its stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on projected holding periods for the remaining unexercised shares.  Consideration was given to the contractual terms of its stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior.  The volatility rate used was based upon an average volatility rate for two entities providing telecommunications.  The Company did not use the volatility rate for Company Common Stock as the Company Common Stock had not been trading for the sufficient length of time to accurately compute its volatility when these warrants were issued.

 

From time to time, the Company’s shares of common stock and warrants have been issued as payment to employees and non-employees for services. These are non-cash transactions that require management to make judgments related to the fair value of the shares issued, which affects the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for certain of its assets and expenses.

 

Share based compensation amounted to $256 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing.

Liquidity and Going Concern
2. Liquidity and Going Concern:

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered continued losses from operations since its inception. At March 31, 2012, the Company had stockholders’ and working capital deficiencies of approximately $3.26 million and $3.25 million, respectively.

 

Management believes the Company will continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the foreseeable future and will need additional equity or debt financing to sustain its operations until it can achieve profitability and positive cash flows, if ever. Management plans to seek additional debt and/or equity financing for the Company, but cannot assure that such financing will be available on acceptable terms. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to ultimately attain profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, and obtain additional financing as may be required. The outcome of this uncertainty cannot be assured.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

7. Capital Transactions:

 

A.  Issuance of Deferred Salary Warrants –

 

Brookstein has been deferring all or a portion of his salary since January 1, 2009.

 

Effective January 1, 2012, Brookstein agreed to continue deferring his full salary.  The amount of such deferred salaries for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $60,000.  As compensation, the Company granted to Brookstein Deferred Salary Warrants to purchase 6 million shares (each a “2012 Deferred Salary Warrant Share”) of Company Common Stock at $0.001 per 2012 Deferred Salary Warrant Share at the rate of 100 Deferred Salary Warrants for each $1 of deferred salary for a term of five years.  The Company valued these issuances utilizing a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:  share price: $0.0003; exercise price: $0.001; expected volatility: 27%; risk-free rate: 2.01%; term: 5 years.

 

Effective April 1, 2012, Brookstein agreed to continue deferring his full salary.  The amount of such deferred salaries for the three months ending June 30, 2012 will total $60,000.  As compensation, the Company granted to Brookstein 2012 Deferred Salary Warrants to purchase 6 million shares of Company Common Stock at $0.001 per Deferred Salary Warrant Share at the rate of 100 Deferred Salary Warrants for each $1 of deferred salary for a term of five years.

 

B.  Issuance of Dividend Accrual Warrants – Series B Senior Subordinated Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”)

 

The Company has failed to pay dividends on the 1.25 million outstanding shares of its Series B Preferred Stock.  Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock may only be paid out of funds legally available for such purpose.  Under Nevada law, generally, a corporation’s distribution to stockholders may only be made if, after giving effect to such distribution, (i) the corporation would be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of action and (ii) the corporation’s total assets equal or exceed the sum of the corporation’s liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation was to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

All of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are held by Brookstein and Spirits Management, Inc. ("Spirits"), a company wholly-owned by Brookstein. Although the Company has been and currently is unable to pay the Series B Preferred Stock dividends when due, the dividends have been and are continuing to be accrued until such time as the monthly dividends can lawfully be paid under Nevada law.

 

The Company deferred dividends totaling $37,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, $15,000 due to Brookstein, and $22,500 due to Spirits.  To compensate Brookstein and Spirits for the failure to pay dividends when due, the Company agreed to grant five-year warrants (each, a “Dividend Accrual Warrant”) to purchase shares (each, a “Dividend Accrual Warrant Share”) of Company Common Stock to such holders at $0.001 per Dividend Accrual Warrant Share at a rate of 100 Dividend Accrual Warrants for every $1 of dividend accrued during the prior three month period.  The Company issued Dividend Accrual Warrants totaling 1.5 million to Brookstein and 2.25 million to Spirits for the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively.  The Company valued these issuances using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: share price:  $0.0006; strike price: $0.001; expected volatility: 27%; risk free interest rate: 1.04%; term: 5 years.

 

For each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, dividends related to the Series B Preferred Stock totaled $37,500.  Accrued dividends totaled $487,500 and $450,000 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

C.  Issuance of Dividend Accrual Warrants - Series D Senior Convertible Voting Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) –

 

The Company has failed to pay dividends on the 50,000 outstanding shares of its Series D Preferred Stock.  As with the Series B Preferred Stock Discussed above, dividends may only be paid out of funds legally available for such purpose.

 

The Company deferred dividends totaling $1,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.   To compensate Brookstein for the failure to pay dividends when due, the Company agreed to grant five-year warrants (each, a “Dividend Accrual Warrant”) to purchase shares (each, a “Dividend Accrual Warrant Share”) of Company Common Stock to such holders at $0.001 per Dividend Accrual Warrant Share at a rate of 100 Dividend Accrual Warrants for every $1 of dividend accrued during the prior three month period.  The Company issued Dividend Accrual Warrants totaling 150,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The Company valued these issuances using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: share price:  $0.0006; strike price: $0.001; expected volatility: 27%; risk free interest rate: 1.04%; term: 5 years

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, dividends related to the Series D Preferred Stock totaled $1,500 and $0, respectively.  Accrued dividends totaled $5,786 and $4,286 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

D.  Issuance of Deferred Interest Payment Warrants –

 

The Company continued to fail to pay interest on the promissory notes that were previously issued to Brookstein, Ponzio and Nascap (the “Note Holders”).  To compensate the Note Holders for the failure to pay interest on their promissory notes in the first quarter of 2012, the Company granted to such Note Holders warrants (each, a “Deferred Interest Payment Warrant”) to purchase shares of Common Stock at the rate of 100 Deferred Interest Payment Warrants for every $1 of interest not paid.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012, 1,950,000 Deferred Interest Payment Warrants were issued and have terms substantially identical to the Deferred Salary Warrants and Dividend Accrual Warrants. The Company valued these issuances using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: share price:  $0.0003; strike price: $0.001; expected volatility: 27%; risk free interest rate: 2.01 %; term: 5 years

 

The Company will not pay interest to the Note Holders in the second quarter of 2012.  To compensate them, the Company granted Deferred Interest Payment Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at the rate of 100 Deferred Interest Payment Warrants for every $1 of interest not paid.  The Company issued a total of 1,950,000 Deferred Interest Payment Warrants on April 1, 2012.

 

 

E .  Warrant Exchange Agreements –

 

The Company entered into separate warrant exchange agreements with Brookstein, Spirits, Garfinkel, Ponzio and Nascap to purchase an aggregate of 128.13 million shares of Company Common Stock.  The warrant holders included the Company’s chairman of the board, chief executive officer and chief financial officer and a company in which such officer is the sole equity owner, as well as the Company’s former president and chief executive officer.  Each of the warrant exchange agreements were dated as of May 12, 2011 and provided for the exchange of the warrants then held by such warrant holders (the “Old Warrants”) for new warrants (the “New Warrants”).  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of the Old Warrants.  The Old Warrants had exercise prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.001 per share (a weighted average exercise price of $0.022 per share) and had exercise periods expiring from June 23, 2014 through March 31, 2016 (typically, five years after the date of issuance of the subject warrants).  However, the Old Warrants contained certain anti-dilution provisions which caused the effective exercise prices to be reduced to less than $0.001 per share.  The New Warrants all have an exercise price of $0.001 per share and expire on May 11, 2016.  The New Warrants contain cashless exercise provisions.  The anti-dilution provisions of the New Warrants are primarily limited to stock splits and corporate transactions involving mergers and consolidations while the Old Warrants contained anti-dilution provisions that caused the reduction in the exercise prices of the Old Warrants whenever the Company issued stock or derivative securities with an effective purchase price less than the then exercise price of the subject Old Warrants.  The Company had issued the Old Warrants in connection with the (x) accrual of dividends due on preferred stock of the Company owned by certain of the warrant holders, (y) deferral of the payment of interest due on promissory notes of the Company owned by certain of the warrant holders and (z) deferral of salary due certain of the warrant holders in their capacities as executive officers of the Company.

 

As the New Warrants contain “cashless exercise” provisions, the value of the New Warrants were recognized as liabilities and not as part of stockholders’ deficiency.  In addition, the Company is required to revalue the New Warrants at the end of each reporting period with the change in value reported on the statement of operations.  The Company valued these issuances using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions at March 31, 2012: share price:  $0.0006; strike price: $0.001; expected volatility: 27%; risk free interest rate: 1.04%; term: 5 years.  The Company recognized a loss on the value of the New Warrants of $5,411 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
