POWER 3 MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC.
WARRANTS FOR THE PURCHASE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
November , 2005
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Trinity Financing Investments Corporation or its registered assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from POWER 3 MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC. (the “Company”), up to one million (1,000,000) shares of the fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock, (the “Shares”), of the Company at the price of $.25 per share (the “Exercise Price”) or on a net issuance or “cashless” basis as provided herein, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. TERM AND VESTING.
(a) TERM. Subject to vesting requirements set forth in Paragraph “b” of this Article ”1” of this Warrant, this Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, any time from and after the date of issuance of this Warrant and prior to expiration of seven years following the date of issuance of this Warrant.
(b) VESTING. The right to purchase the Shares hereunder shall vest and become exercisable as follows: 100% of the Shares subject to this Warrant are immediately vested.
2. METHOD OF EXERCISE; PAYMENT.
(a) CASH EXERCISE. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, from time to time at the principal office of the Company, by delivering a completed and duly executed Notice of Exercise (attached hereto as Exhibit ”A”) and by the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price
1
multiplied by the number of the Shares being purchased, which amount may be paid, at the election of the Holder, by wire transfer or check payable to the order of the Company. The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s) representing Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the Shares represented thereby (and such Shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which this Warrant is exercised.
(b) STOCK CERTIFICATES. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within seven (7) business days after said exercise and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing the shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within such time. Failure to deliver to the Holder certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased within seven (7) business days after said exercise shall result in a penalty of one thousand dollars ($1,000) per day for each late day.
3. STOCK FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES. All of the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or first offer, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved for issuance sufficient shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
4. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. Subject to the provisions of Article ”1” hereof, the number and kind of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefor shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:
(a) RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER. In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and in which the Company’s stockholders immediately preceding such consolidation or merger own at least 50% of the voting securities of the Company following such consolidation or merger and which does not result in any reclassification of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation as the case may be, shall execute a new Warrant, providing that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant, and procure upon such exercise and payment of the same aggregate Exercise Price, in lieu of the Shares of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, sale of all or substantially
2
all of the Company’s assets or merger by a holder of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Paragraph “a” of this Article ”4” of this Warrant. The provisions of this Paragraph “a” of this Article ”4” of this Warrant shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, leases or conveyances.
(b) STOCK SPLITS, DIVIDENDS AND COMBINATIONS. In the event that the Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or shall issue a stock dividend on its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision or to the issuance of such stock dividend shall be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, stock dividend or combination, as the case may be.
5. REGISTRATION. As more fully provided in Paragraph 13, if the Company shall at any time seek to register or qualify any of its capital stock or the securities holdings of any of its controlling shareholders, on each such occasion it shall include all of the Holder’s shares in such registration or qualification at the Company’s expense. The Company shall keep the registration effective until such time as the Holder has sold its shares.
6. ANTIDILUTION.
(a) If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company effects a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be proportionately decreased and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding Common Stock, and conversely, if, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company combines the outstanding Common Stock, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding Common Stock. Any adjustment under this Article ”6” shall become effective as of the record date for such event. For purposes of this Article, a stock dividend shall be considered a split.
(b) All calculations under this Article ”6” shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
(c) In any case in which this Article ”6” shall require that an adjustment in the number of Shares 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, if the Holder exercised this Warrant after such record date, the Shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the number of Shares issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock in effect prior to such adjustment provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder’s right to
3
receive such additional shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(d) Whenever there shall be an adjustment as provided in this Article ”6”, the Company shall within fifteen (15) days thereafter cause written notice thereof to be sent to the Holder pursuant to Paragraph “c” of Article ”16”, which notice shall be accompanied by an officer’s certificate setting forth the number of Shares issuable and the Exercise Price thereof after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation thereof, which officer’s certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment absent manifest error.
(e) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay lieu of such fraction an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market price on the date of the exercise of this Warrant.
(f) No adjustment in the Exercise Price per Warrant shall be required if such adjustment is less than $.01; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Article ”6” are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
7. NOTICES. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price and any increase or decrease in the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with Article ”4” hereof, then, and in each such case, the Company, within thirty (30) days thereafter, shall give notice pursuant to Paragraph “c” of Article ”15” of this Warrant, which notice shall state the Exercise Price as adjusted and, if applicable, the increased or decreased number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each.
7. CONDITION OF EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Unless exercised pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act which includes the Shares so exercised, it shall be a condition to any exercise of this Warrant that the Company shall have received, at the time of such exercise, a representation in writing from the recipient that the Shares being issued upon exercise, are being acquired for investment and not with a view to any sale or distribution thereof.
(b) Each certificate evidencing the Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR FOR RESALE IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
4
“ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.
Subject to this Article ”8”, the Company may instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of all or a part of this Warrant, or any of the Shares, unless one of the conditions specified in the above legend is satisfied.
9. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.
10. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder as follows:
(a) This Warrant has been duly authorized and executed by the Company and is a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms;
(b) The Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance by the Company and, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable;
(c) The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the Shares and the holders thereof are as set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, a true and complete copy of which has been delivered to the original Holder of this Warrant; and
(d) The execution and delivery of this Warrant are not, and the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof will not be, inconsistent with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as amended.
11. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE HOLDER. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) This Warrant is being acquired for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Act. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if so requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale.
(b) The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Shares have not been registered under the Act by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that they must
5
be held by the Holder indefinitely, and that the Holder must therefore bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Act or is exempted from such registration.
(c) The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of this Warrant and the Shares purchasable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and of protecting its interests in connection therewith.
(d) The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.
12. RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS. No holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, as a warrant holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.
13. REGISTRATION.
(a) If the Company shall at any time seek to register or qualify any of its common stock or the securities holdings of any of its controlling shareholders, on each such occasion it shall, without cost or expense, include all of the Holder’s shares in such registration or qualification. The Company shall keep the registration effective until such time as the Holder has sold its shares or the shares are eligible to be transferred without restriction pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144(k) which was promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to §4(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company agrees to provide an opinion of counsel with respect to any sales of the shares by the Holder if such sale is permissible under Rule 144(k).
(b) All expenses in connection with preparing and filing any registration statement under Paragraph “(a)” of this Article ”14” of this Agreement shall be borne in full by the Company; provided, however, that the holder shall pay any and all underwriting commissions and expenses and the fees and expenses of any legal counsel selected by the holder to represent him with respect to the sale of the Securities.
14. OPINIONS. The Company agrees that at such time as this Warrant or the Shares may be sold under Rule 144 it will (i) immediately take all actions necessary or reasonably requested by Holder so that such persons may sell such securities under Rule 144 or 144(k), if applicable,
6
including, but not limited to, delivering or causing to be delivered a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent and (ii) not directly or indirectly take or fail to take any actions to prevent such sale. The Company shall, at its cost, provide the appropriate opinion letters to be issued by the Company’s counsel in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144 with respect to the transfer or sale of the Shares, if such transfer or sale is permissible under Rule 144. Furthermore, the Company shall notify its transfer agent that Eaton & Van Winkle, LLP is authorized to issue said opinion letters.
15. MISCELLANEOUS.
