WARRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF VERIFYME, INC.
THIS IS TO CERTIFY that, for value received, _________________, its successors and assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, _______ shares of VerifyMe, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and to receive certificates for the Common Stock so purchased. The exercise price of this Warrant is $0.15 per share, subject to adjustment as provided below (the “Exercise Price”).
1. Exercise Period and Vesting. This Warrant is vested and shall be exercisable at any time by the Holder beginning on the date listed above (the “Issuance Date”), and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on the date that is the third (3rd) anniversary of the date of this Warrant (the “Exercise Period”). This Warrant will terminate automatically and immediately upon the expiration of the Exercise Period.
2. Exercise of Warrant; Cashless Exercise.
(a) Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time during the Exercise Period. Such exercise shall be accomplished by tender to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of underlying shares being purchased (the “Purchase Price”), by wire transfer or by certified check or bank cashier’s check, payable to the order of the Company, or by a cashless exercise to the extent allowed by Section 2(b). As a condition of exercise, the Holder shall where applicable execute a customary investment letter and accredited investor questionnaire. The Holder’s right to exercise this Warrant is subject to compliance with any applicable laws and rules including Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
(b) Cashless Exercise. If at any time beginning on the date that is six (6) months after the Issuance Date and continuing thereafter throughout the Exercise Period the Company shall fail to maintain an effective registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder, then the Holder may exercise this Warrant by surrendering such number of shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of this Warrant with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined below) equal to the Purchase Price, as described in the following paragraph (a “Cashless Exercise”).
If the Holder elects to conduct a Cashless Exercise, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X =Y (A-B)
A
Where:
X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder;
| 1 |
Y = the portion of the Warrant (in number of shares of Common Stock) being exercised by the Holder (at the date of such calculation);
A = the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock; and
B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
For purposes of this Warrant, “Fair Market Value” shall mean: (i) if the principal trading market for such securities is a national securities exchange, or the OTCQB (or a similar system then in use), the average of the last five reported sales prices on the principal market the last five trading days immediately prior to such Exercise Date (as defined in Section 2(c) below); or (ii) if (i) is not applicable, and if bid and ask prices for shares of Common Stock are reported by the principal trading market, the average of the high bid and low asked prices so reported for the trading day immediately prior to such Exercise Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is no last reported sales price or bid and ask prices, as the case may be, for the day in question, then Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the latest day prior to such day for which such last reported sales price or bid and asked prices, as the case may be, are available, unless such securities have not been traded on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market for 30 or more days immediately prior to the day in question, in which case the Fair Market Value shall be determined in good faith by and reflected in a formal resolution of the board of directors of the Company.
(c) Upon receipt of the Purchase Price in Section 2(a) or the shares of Common Stock in Section 2(b), together with presentation and surrender to the Company of this Warrant with an executed subscription form in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Subscription”), the Company will deliver shares of Common Stock to be issued hereunder to the Holder within two (2) business days from the date of receipt of the Purchase Price and delivery of the Subscription as set forth above for shares to be delivered by DWAC and five (5) business days for certificated shares. Shares shall be delivered by DWAC so long as the Company is then DWAC Operational (as such terms are defined in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement of the Company dated February __, 2020)), unless the Holder expressly requests delivery in certificated form or the issued shares are not freely trading shares when issued and are required to bear a restrictive legend. Shares shall be deemed delivered (i) if delivered by DWAC, upon deposit into the Holder’s brokerage account, or (ii) if delivered in certificated form, upon the Holder’s actual receipt of the issued shares in certificated form at the address specified in the Ledger of the Company (as defined below), as confirmed by written receipt. With respect to any exercise of this Warrant, the Holder will for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder on the date a properly executed Subscription and payment of the Purchase Price is received by the Company (the “Exercise Date”), irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificate evidencing such shares, except that, if the date of such receipt is a date on which the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person will be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open. Fractional shares of Common Stock will not be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant and in lieu of any fractional shares, the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. In the event this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall issue a New Warrant (defined below) to the Holder covering the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant remains exercisable for. The Company acknowledges and agrees that this Warrant was issued on the Issuance Date.
3. Transferability and Exchange.
(a) This Warrant, and the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof, may not be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated unless the Company shall have been provided with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such transfer is not in violation of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. Subject to the satisfaction of this condition, this Warrant and the underlying shares of Common Stock if not eligible to be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act shall be transferable from time to time by the Holders upon written notice to the Company. If this Warrant is transferred, in whole or in part, the Company may request the transferee to sign an investment letter and shall, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, deliver to each transferee a Warrant evidencing the rights of such transferee to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock that such transferee is entitled to purchase pursuant to such transfer. The Company may place a legend similar to the legend at the top of this Warrant on any replacement Warrant and on each certificate representing shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or any replacement Warrants. Only the registered Holder may enforce the provisions of this Warrant against the Company. A transferee of the original registered Holder becomes a registered Holder only upon delivery to the Company of the original Warrant and an original Assignment, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto.
| 2 |
(b) This Warrant is exchangeable upon its surrender by the Holder to the Company for new Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of shares purchasable hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as may be designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender (not to exceed the aggregate number of shares underlying this Warrant).
4. Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Shares Subject to Warrant. The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in this Section 4. For the purpose of this Section 4, “Common Stock” means shares now or hereafter authorized of any class of common stock of the Company, however designated, that has the right to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of the Company without limit as to per share amount (excluding, and subject to any prior rights of, any class or series of preferred stock).
(a) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock other securities of the Company, then the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or on the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, and/or the number and kind of securities issuable on such date, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder of the Warrant thereafter exercised shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or such other securities other than Common Stock) of the Company, at the same aggregate Exercise Price, that, if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such date, the Holder would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) of cash, evidences of indebtedness or assets, or subscription rights or warrants, the Exercise Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on such record date, less the amount of cash so to be distributed or the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by, and reflected in a formal resolution of, the board of directors of the Company) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so to be distributed, or of such subscription rights or warrants, applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. When determining Fair Market Value of the Company’s Common Stock, Fair Market Value shall mean: (i) if the principal trading market for such securities is a national securities exchange including The Nasdaq Stock Market, or the OTCQB (or a similar system then in use), the last reported sales price on the principal market the trading day immediately prior to such record date; or (ii) if subsection (i) is not applicable, and if bid and ask prices for shares of Common Stock are reported by the principal trading market or the OTC Markets, the average of the high bid and low ask prices so reported for the trading day immediately prior to such record date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is no last reported sales price or bid and ask prices, as the case may be, for the day in question, then Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the latest day prior to such day for which such last reported sales price or bid and ask prices, as the case may be, are available, unless such securities have not been traded on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market for 30 or more days immediately prior to the day in question, in which case the Fair Market Price shall be determined in good faith by, and reflected in a formal resolution of, the board of directors of the Company.
| 3 |
(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 4(c) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
(d) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 4(a) above, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the shares of Common Stock contained in this Section 4, and the other provisions of this Warrant shall apply on like terms to any such other shares.
(e) If the Company merges or consolidates into or with another corporation or entity, or if another corporation or entity merges into or with the Company (excluding such a merger in which the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange, or cancellation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or if all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company are sold or transferred to another corporation, entity, or person, then, as a condition to such consolidation, merger, or sale (any a “Transaction”), lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall have the right from and after the Transaction to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock that would have been issuable if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before the Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, or assets as the Holder would have owned immediately after the Transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately before the effective date of the Transaction.
(f) [Reserved]
(g) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, issues, sells or grants any option to purchase, or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of, or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or other securities convertible into, exercisable for, or otherwise entitle any person or entity the right to acquire, shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, upon conversion of any convertible securities outstanding following the Issuance Date) (excluding Exempt Issuances, as defined below, all Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) and any other securities issuable pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement of the Company dated February __, 2020), in each or any case at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Exercise Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being agreed that if the holder of the Common Stock or other securities so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then, at the option of the Holder, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to a price equal to the Base Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price payable under the Warrant for the adjusted number of shares shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained in the Warrant. If the Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Debentures), despite the prohibition set forth in the Debentures, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock at the lowest possible price per share at which such securities could be issued in connection with such Variable Rate Transaction. Such adjustment shall be made at the option of the Holder whenever such Common Stock or other securities are issued. For purposes of this Section, “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (i) shares of Common Stock, options or other equity awards to officers, consultants, employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, (ii) securities issuable upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Issuance Date; provided that such securities have not been amended since the Issuance Date to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or Exercise Price of such securities (other than in connection with stock splits or combinations) or to extend the term of such securities, (iii) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, and (iv) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any real property leasing arrangement or financing from a national bank approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

If not registered under the Securities Act, when exercised, the stock certificates shall bear the following legend unless one year has elapsed since the date of issuance of this Warrant.
“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered for sale or sold except pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) an opinion of counsel to the issuer of these securities that an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available.”
6. Reservation of Shares. The Company agrees at all times to reserve and hold available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock two times the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the full exercise of this Warrant. The Company further covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be delivered upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon delivery, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the purchase thereof hereunder.

Such notice shall include the Exercise Price (and/or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant) after such adjustment, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the Company’s method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculations were based. Where appropriate, such notice shall be given in advance and included as a part of any notice required to be given under the other provisions of this Section 7.
In the event of (a) any fixing by the Company of a record date with respect to the holders of any class of securities of the Company for the purpose of determining which of such holders are entitled to dividends or other distributions, or any rights to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, (b) any capital reorganization of the Company, or reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company to, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, any other entity or person, or (c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution or winding up of the Company, then and in each such event the Company will give the Holder a written notice specifying, as the case may be (i) the record date for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, or right; or (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up is to take place and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such capital stock or securities receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such event.
