ITEM 1.01 | Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement |
ITEM 3.02 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities |
On October 17, 2013, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with 12 investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company sold to the Investors an aggregate of 240,000 Units (the “Units”) at a purchase price of $3.75 per Unit (“Unit Price”), closing a maximum $2,500,000 private placement (the “Private Placement”). The aggregate purchase price we received from the sale of the 240,000 Units was $900,000. Each Unit consists of (a) one (1) share of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and (b) one (1) five (5) year warrant, exercisable after twelve (12) months, to purchase one (1) share of common stock at an initial exercise price of five dollars ($5.00) (the “Warrants”). The Private Placement offered a total of 666,667 Units, with 426,667 Units at an “all or none basis” and 240,000 Units available at a “best efforts basis.” The purchase of the 426,667 Units at “all or none basis” was closed on October 7, 2013.
The Units include registration rights requiring the Company to cause the shares of Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants to be included in a registration statement that shall be filed no later than December 31, 2013 and declared effective no later than April 30, 2014.
The Company employed a placement agent for the purpose of the Private Placement, and has paid to the Placement Agent commissions in the total amount of $150,000 and five (5) year warrants convertible into an aggregate of 40,000 shares.
The Units we agreed to issue in the foregoing transaction and the Securities contained therein were not and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
The Units offered and sold in connection with the closing of this Private Placement were in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. In connection with this Private Placement, we relied on the Investors’ written representations, including a representation that the Investor is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. The Investors also represented that they were acquiring the Units for investment only and not with a view towards resale or distribution. We requested our stock transfer agent to affix appropriate restrictive legends to the stock certificates issued to the Investors. The Investors were given adequate access to sufficient information about the Company to make an informed investment decision. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf offered or sold these Units by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.
A copy of the Subscription Agreement and Warrant has been attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this current report on Form 8-K to provide our shareholders and investors with information regarding their terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or any of their respective affiliates or businesses.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement” or “Subscription Agreement”) dated as of September 30, 2013 between CHANTICLEER HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation having its principal offices at 11220 Elm Lane, Suite 203, Charlotte, NC 28277 (the “Company”) and the SUBSCRIBERS (“Subscribers”), whose names and addresses are set forth on the Signature Page to this Agreement.
WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company offers four hundred and twenty six thousand, six hundred sixty seven (426,667) Units on an “all or none basis” and an additional six hundred and sixty six thousand, six hundred sixty seven (666,667) Units at a “best efforts basis” (“Units”) at three dollars and seventy five cents (USD $3.75) per Unit, to accredited investors, with each Unit consisting of one (1) share of the Company's Common Stock (“Common Stock”) and one (1) five year warrant (“Warrant”), exercisable after twelve (12) months, to purchase one (1) share of common stock at an initial exercise price of five dollars (USD $5.00) (the “Offering”). The Units will be offered to a limited number of individuals or entities who qualify as “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (collectively, the “Investors”).
This Offering shall close on or before September 30, 2013, unless extended to October 31, 2013 by the Company without notice to the Investors.
The minimum purchase per Subscriber is Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), subject to the right of the Company to accept lesser amounts.
WHEREAS, Subscriber (who, together with all other subscribers to the Offering, are collectively referred to as “Subscribers”) desires to acquire the aggregate number of Units set forth on the signature page hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Subscription for Units. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company, that number of Units as is set forth on the signature page hereof, for the purchase price indicated (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price is payable by check made payable to “Chanticleer Holdings, Inc.” contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement to the Company or by wire transfer to the following coordinates:

Promptly following a closing at which all or part of Subscriber’s subscription is accepted, the Units will be delivered by the Company to Subscriber. The funds will be held in escrow at Paragon Commercial Bank until the earlier of receipt of funds for the minimum offering amount or the termination of the offering. Funds, if returned, will be returned without interest.
Section 2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Subscriber. Subscriber hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company that:
2.1 Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk in that (i) an investment in the Company is highly speculative and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Securities; (iii) an investor may not be able to readily liquidate its investment; (iv) transferability of the Securities is limited; and (v) Subscriber could sustain the loss of its entire investment.
2.2 Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or a non US-Person as such term is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, and Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities. In addition, Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, including prior investments in non-listed and non-registered securities, as is necessary in order to evaluate the merits and risks of its investment in the Units.
2.3 Subscriber has received and has carefully read and considered the accompanying Private Placement Memorandum, and all Exhibits attached thereto and the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, Subscriber has not relied upon any representations or other information (whether oral or written) received from the Company, its officers, directors, agents, employees or representatives, except information set forth in this Agreement, the Term Sheet or information that is obtained from the Company in order to verify such information. Subscriber has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from management of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering and to obtain such additional information as Subscriber deemed necessary in order to evaluate its investment in the Units.
2.4 Subscriber understands that its purchase of the Securities may have tax consequences and that Subscriber must retain its own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences of an investment in the Securities. Subscriber has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase Units pursuant to the transaction documents, and Subscriber confirms that it has been afforded the opportunity to consult with its business, tax and/or legal counsel in making such decision and has availed itself of that opportunity to the extent deemed advisable by Subscriber.
2.5 Subscriber acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed, endorsed or approved by the United States SEC and that the Units are being offered without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and without registration under any state securities laws. Subscriber understands that a legend may be affixed to each certificate evidencing any of the Securities to the effect that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof.
2 |
2.6 Subscriber is purchasing the Units for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with, or for purposes of, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.
2.7 Subscriber understands that the Company reserves the right to reject or limit any subscription in its sole discretion and, subject to any minimum offering requirements, to hold one or more closings of the Offering at any time. Subscriber further understands that the Company shall not have any obligation to sell any Units in any jurisdiction in which the sale of such would constitute a violation of the securities, “blue sky” or other similar laws of such jurisdiction.
2.8 Subscriber’s address set forth on the signature page hereto is its principal residence if Subscriber is an individual or its principal business address if Subscriber is a corporation or other entity.
2.9 Subscriber is not subscribing for the Units as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or general meeting.
2.10 Subscriber has all requisite legal and other power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and to carry out and perform Subscriber’s obligations hereunder. This Subscription Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Subscriber, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other general principals of equity, whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or law. The funds provided for this investment are either separate property of Subscriber, community property over which Subscriber has the right of control or are otherwise funds as to which Subscriber has the sole right of management.
2.11 The Company is not, with respect to its business operations, except as disclosed in Attachment A hereto, (i) parties to any pending lawsuit or other legal proceedings, reconciliation or arbitration proceedings or any other governmental investigation or proceedings; (ii) likely to become parties to any such legal proceedings; and (iii) no other such legal proceeding has been instituted, pending, and/or threatened against the Company.
2.12 The execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement by Subscriber will not result in any violation of, or conflict with, or constitute a default under, any of Subscriber’s articles of incorporation or by-laws, if applicable, or any agreement to which Subscriber is a party or by which it is bound, nor result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge against any of the assets or properties of Subscriber or on the Securities.
3 |
2.13 No consent from any other person is required in order for Subscriber to execute this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder, or such consent has been obtained and a copy has been provided to the Company.
2.14 Subscriber has kept confidential the existence of the Offering and the information contained therein or made available in connection with any further investigation of the Company.
2.15 Subscriber’s representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement accompanying this Subscription Agreement do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. Subscriber understands that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties and agreements of Subscriber set forth herein in making its determination that the Offering and sale of the Units is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and state securities laws.
Section 3. Miscellaneous.
3.1 Any notice or other communication required, permitted or provided for hereunder (each, a “Notice”) shall be effective as between the parties only if given in writing and sent by (a) personal delivery, (b) registered or certified mail (return receipt requested); or (c) express delivery service, to the Company at 11220 Elm Lane, Suite 203, Charlotte, NC 28277, and to the Subscriber at his address indicated on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement.

If Notice cannot be delivered because of a changed address of which no Notice was given, or the refusal to accept delivery, the Notice shall be deemed received on the date it is sent (as evidenced by the affidavit of the sender).
3.2 This Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and to their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. This Subscription Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties as to the subject matter hereof and merges and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of any and every nature among them.
3.3 Notwithstanding the place where this Subscription Agreement may be executed by any of the parties hereto, the Company and Subscriber hereby: (a) agree that all questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Subscription Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof, and (b) all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of this Subscription Agreement shall be commenced in the Courts of the State of Delaware or the courts of the United States of America and appellate courts from any thereof (the “Courts”), (c) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder (including with respect to the enforcement of this Subscription Agreement); (d) irrevocably waive and agree not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any of such Courts, or that such suit, action or proceeding is improper; (e) irrevocably waive personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to the other at the address in effect for notices to it under this Subscription Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof (nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law); and (f) irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
4 |
3.4 This Subscription Agreement may be executed in counterparts. Upon the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement by the Subscriber, this Subscription Agreement shall become a binding obligation of the Subscriber with respect to the purchase of Units as herein provided; subject, however, to the right hereby reserved to the Company to enter into the same agreements with other subscribers and to add and/or to delete other persons as subscribers.
3.5 If any provision of this Subscription Agreement is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in any way invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Subscription Agreement shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.
3.6 No term or provision contained herein may be modified, amended or waived except by written agreement or consent signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. It is agreed that a waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall not operate, or be construed, as a waiver of any subsequent breach by that same party.
3.7 The parties agree to execute and deliver all such further documents, agreements and instruments and take such other and further action as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Subscription Agreement.
3.8 The obligations of each Investor under any transaction document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any transaction document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Shares pursuant to the transaction documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any transaction document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the transaction documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under the transaction documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other transaction documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided with the same transaction documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor. If Subscriber is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or two or more individuals purchasing jointly, Subscriber shall follow the specific instructions for the Certificate of Corporate, Limited Liability Company, Partnership, Trust and Joint Purchases at Page 9 hereof.
5 |
3.9 Subscriber acknowledges that the subscription made hereby is not binding upon the Company until the Company accepts it. The Company has the right to accept or reject this subscription in whole or in part in its sole and absolute discretion. If this subscription is rejected in whole, the Company shall return the Purchase Price to Subscriber, without interest, and the Company and Subscriber shall have no further obligation to each other by reason of this Subscription Agreement or the subscription made hereby. In the event of a partial rejection of this subscription, a proportionate amount of the Purchase Price will be returned to Subscriber, without interest.
3.10 The Company stock is subject to a nineteen and nine tenths percent (19.9%) beneficial ownership limitation; any ownership by one individual investor of more than nineteen and nine tenths percent (19.9%) of the Company stock requires approval by the Company’s shareholders. Additionally, the Company is subject to a nineteen and nine tenths percent (19.9%) issuance limitation for the issuance referred to in this Subscription Agreement dated September 30, 2013. Any issuance of Company common stock from this particular transaction above nineteen and nine tenths percent (19.9%) of the total outstanding shares as of September 29, 2013 requires Shareholder approval. The Company intends to seek required Shareholder approval if necessary.

ATTACHMENT A
On October 12, 2012, Francis Howard (“Howard”), individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a lawsuit against Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), Michael D. Pruitt, Eric S. Lederer, Michael Carroll, Paul I. Moskowitz, Keith Johnson (The “Individual Defendants”), Merriman Capital, Inc., Dawson James Securities, Inc. (The “Underwriter Defendants”), and Creason & Associates P.L.L.C. (The “Auditor Defendant”), in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The class action lawsuit alleges violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act against all Defendants, violations of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act against only the Underwriter Defendants, and violations of Section 15 against the Individual Defendants. Howard seeks unspecified damages, reasonable costs and expenses incurred in this action, and such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper. On October 15th, 2012, the Honorable Judge James I. Cohn filed an Order setting the Calendar Call for the case for June 13th, 2013, and the Trial Date for the trial period commencing on June 17th, 2013. On October 31st, 2012, the Company and the Individual Defendants retained Stanley Wakshlag at Kenny Nachwalter, P.A. to represent them in this litigation. Requests by the Underwriting Defendants for indemnification were denied. On November 2nd, 2012, we filed a Joint Motion to Extend Deadline to Respond to Class Action Complaint, requesting that our responsive pleading deadline be delayed until after a lead Plaintiff is named. That Motion was approved, and on December 12th, 2012, Howard filed a Motion to Appoint himself Lead Plaintiff and to Approve his selection of The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. as his Counsel. An Order appointing Francis Howard and the Rosen Law Firm as lead Plaintiff and lead Plaintiff’s Counsel was entered on January 4, 2013. Therein, Judge Cohn also reset Calendar Call for October 10, 2013; trial was reset for the two-week period commencing October 15, 2013. On February 19, 2013, Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint.

Plaintiff filed an opposition to Chanticleer Defendants’ (and Auditor Defendants’) Motion to Dismiss on April 22, 2013.

Pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A). The Company has and will continue to vigorously defend itself in this matter.
On March 26, 2013, our South African operations received Notice of Motion filed in the Kwazulu-Natal High Court, Durban, Republic of South Africa, filed against Rolalor (PTY) LTD (“Rolalor”) and Labyrinth Trading 18 (PTY) LTD (“Labyrinth”) by Jennifer Catherine Mary Shaw (“Shaw”). Rolalor and Labyrinth were the original entities formed to operate the Johannesburg and Durban locations, respectively. On September 9, 2011, the assets and the then-disclosed liabilities of these entities were transferred to Tundraspex (PTY) LTD (“Tundraspex”) and Dimaflo (PTY) LTD (“Dimaflo”), respectively. The current entities, Tundraspex and Dimaflo are not parties in the lawsuit. Shaw is requesting that the Respondents, Rolalor and Labyrinth, be wound up in satisfaction of an alleged debt owed in the total amount of R4,082,636.13 (approximately $442,189). The Company has and will continue to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

This Warrant may be exercised in full by the Holder hereof by delivery of an original or facsimile copy of the form of subscription attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Subscription Form”) duly executed by such Holder and simultaneously surrender of the original Warrant to the Company at its principal office, accompanied by payment, in cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is then exercisable by the Purchase Price then in effect.
1.3. Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part (but not for a fractional share) by surrender of this Warrant in the manner and at the place provided in subsection 1.2 except that the amount payable by the Holder on such partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of whole shares designated by the Holder in the Subscription Form by (b) the Purchase Price then in effect. On any such partial exercise, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder hereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Holder hereof or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, the whole number of Common Shares for which such Warrant may still be exercised.
1.4. Company Acknowledgment.

The Company agrees that the Common Shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within ten (10) business days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full Common Share, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.

1.7 Floor. Any conversion is subject to a one dollar (USD $1.00) floor.
2. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.
2.1. Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other person or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Shares (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 3.
2.2. Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 2, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the Other Securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any Other Securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 3.
3. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional Common Shares as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Shares, (b) subdivide its outstanding Common Shares, or (c) combine its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 3.

4. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the Common Shares (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional Common Shares (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of Common Shares (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price and the number of Common Shares to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of the Warrant.

5. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrants, all Common Shares (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.
6. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant.

No such transfers shall result in a public distribution of the Warrant.
7. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense, , will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
8. Transfer on the Company’s Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
