EX-10.13 16 ex10-13.txt FORM OF WARRANT THE WARRANT REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER SAID LAWS, AND NEITHER SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE TRANSFER OF THIS WARRANT IS RESTRICTED AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. GOLD BOND RESOURCES, INC. 1,000,000 WARRANTS FOR THE PURCHASE OF 1,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, PAR VALUE $0.001 PER SHARE NO. W-5 1,000,000 SHARES THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, James M. Mullen (including any transferee, the "Holder"), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from Gold Bond Resources, Inc., a Washington corporation (the "Company"), the amount of shares set forth above (the "Shares") upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. This Warrant is being issued in connection with the consulting agreement by and between the Holder and the Company last executed on June 12, 2003. Each warrant grants the Holder the right to purchase from the Company one share of its common stock at the exercise price of $0.12 per share ("Exercise Price"), for a period of five years ("Exercise Period" and collectively, the "Warrants"). As used herein, the term "this Warrant" shall mean and include this Warrant and any Warrant or Warrants hereafter issued as a consequence of the exercise or transfer of this Warrant in whole or in part. In the event that the Company effects its planned one from 10 reverse common stock split before the exercise of the warrants herein, the aforementioned number of warrants and exercise price will be adjusted accordingly, i.e., 100,000 warrants for the purchase of 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.20. 1. This Warrant may be exercised during the Exercise Period as to all of the Shares by the surrender of this Warrant (with the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly executed) to the Company at its office at 10701 Corporate Drive, Suite 150, Stafford, Texas 77477, Attention: President, or at such other place as is designated in writing by the Company, together with a certified -1- or bank cashier's check payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the Exercise Price of $0.12 (or in the event of the aforementioned reverse stock split, at an exercise price of $1.20 per share)multiplied by the number of Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised. 2. Upon each exercise of the Holder's rights to purchase Shares, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Shares issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or certificates representing such Shares shall not then have been actually delivered to the Holder. As soon as practicable after each such exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the Shares issuable upon such exercise, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the balance of the Shares (or portions thereof) subject to purchase hereunder. 3. (a) Any Warrants issued upon the transfer or exercise in part of this Warrant shall be numbered and shall be registered in a Warrant Register as they are issued. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrant on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of Warrants which 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 or transfer, or with the knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith. This Warrant shall be transferable only on the books of the Company upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by his duly authorized attorney or representative the Form of Assignment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, executor, administrator, guardian, or other legal representative, duly authority shall be produced. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall deliver a new Warrant or Warrants to the person entitled thereto. This Warrant may be exchanged, at the option of the Holder thereof, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of Shares (or portions thereof), upon surrender to the Company or its duly authorized agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may require prior to registering any transfer of a Warrant an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such transfer complies with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and the rules and regulations thereunder. (b) The Holder acknowledges that he/she has been advised by the Company that neither this Warrant nor the Shares have been registered under the Act, that this Warrant is being or has been issued and the Shares may be issued on the basis of the statutory exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Act, relating to transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, and that the Company's reliance thereon is based in part upon the representations made herein by the Holder. The Holder acknowledges that he has been informed by the Company of, or is otherwise familiar with, the nature of the limitations imposed by the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder on the transfer of securities. In particular, the Holder agrees that no sale, assignment or transfer of this Warrant or the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof shall be valid or effective, and -2- the Company shall not be required to give any effect to any such sale, assignment or transfer, unless (i) the sale, assignment or transfer of this Warrant or such Shares is registered under the Act, it being understood that neither this Warrant nor such Shares are currently registered for sale and that the Company has no obligation or intention to so register this Warrant or such Shares except as specifically provided for in the Subscription Agreement, or (ii) this Warrant or such Shares are sold, assigned or transferred in accordance with all the requirements and limitations of Rule 144 under the Act, or (iii) such sale, assignment, or transfer is otherwise exempt from registration under the Act in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company. 4. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of the rights to purchase all Shares granted pursuant to the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall, from time to time, be sufficient therefor. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, upon receipt by the Company of the full Exercise Price therefor, shall be validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, and free of preemptive rights. 5. (a) In case the Company shall at any time after the date the Warrants were first issued (i) declare a dividend on the outstanding Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then, in each case, the Exercise Price, and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination, or reclassification, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder after such time shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares which, if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such time, he/she would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination, or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. (b) In case the Company shall issue or fix a record date for the issuance to all holders of Common Stock of rights, options, or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share, if a security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) less than the then applicable Exercise Price per share on such record date, then, in each case, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which 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 conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so to be offered) would purchase at such Exercise Price and the denominator of which 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 convertible or exchangeable securities so to be offered are initially convertible or exchangeable). Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on such record date; provided, however, that, to the -3- extent the shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) are not delivered, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted after the expiration of such rights, options, or warrants (but only with respect to warrants exercised after such expiration), to the Exercise 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 convertible into or exchangeable for 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, whose determination shall be conclusive. (c) In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made to the stockholders of the Company in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) evidences of its indebtedness, cash (other than any cash dividend which, together with any cash dividends paid within the 12 months prior to the record date for such distribution, does not exceed 5% of the then applicable Exercise Price at the record date for such distribution) or assets (other than distributions and dividends payable in shares of Common Stock), or rights, options, or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (excluding those with respect to the issuance of which an adjustment of the Exercise Price is provided pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof), then, in each case, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the then applicable Exercise Price per share of Common Stock on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so to be distributed, or of such rights, options, or warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, or the amount of such cash, applicable to one share, and the denominator of which shall be such Exercise Price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on such record date. (d) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than $.01; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 5 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-thousandth of a share, as the case may be. (e) In any case in which this Section 5 shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise 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, if the Holder exercised this Warrant after such record date, the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Price 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 receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. -4- (f) Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price as a result of the calculations made in Sections 5(b) or 5(c) hereof, this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, that number of shares (calculated to the nearest thousandth) obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to adjustment of the number of shares by the Exercise Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Exercise Price by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment of the Exercise Price. (g) Whenever there shall be an adjustment as provided in this Section 5, the Company shall promptly cause written notice thereof to be sent by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder, at its address as it shall appear in the Warrant Register, which notice shall be accompanied by an officer's certificate setting forth the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price 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. (h) 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 would be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall purchase such fraction for an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the Exercise Price of such share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of this Warrant. 6. (a) In case of any consolidation with or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation), or in case of any sale, lease, or conveyance to another corporation of the property and assets of any nature of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety (collectively an "Extraordinary Event"), such successor, leasing, or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall (i) execute with the Holder an agreement providing that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon exercise of this Warrant solely the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, property, cash, or any combination thereof (collectively "Extraordinary Event Consideration") receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, or conveyance, and (ii) make effective provision in its certificate of incorporation or otherwise, if necessary, to effect such agreement. Such agreement shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments in Section 5. (b) In case of any reclassification or change of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value or from no par value to a specified par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in the shares into two or more classes or series of shares), or in case of any consolidation or merger of another corporation into the Company in which the Company is the continuing corporation and in which there is a reclassification or change (including a change to the right to receive cash or other property) of the shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from no par value to a specified par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in the -5- shares into two or more classes or series of shares), the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon exercise of this Warrant solely the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, property, cash, or any combination thereof receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, or merger. Thereafter, appropriate provision shall be made for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments in Section 5. (c) The above provisions of this Section 6 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, leases, or conveyances. 7. In case at any time the Company shall propose to: (a) pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or make any other distribution (other than regularly scheduled cash dividends which are not in a greater amount per share than the most recent such cash dividend) to all holders of Common Stock; or (b) issue any rights, warrants, or other securities to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to purchase any additional shares of Common Stock or any other rights, warrants, or other securities; or (c) effect any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any consolidation, merger, sale, lease, or conveyance of property; or (d) effect any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company; or (e) take any other action that would cause an adjustment to the Exercise Price; then, and in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give written notice thereof, by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder at the Holder's address as it shall appear in the Warrant Register, mailed at least 15 days prior to (i) the date as of which the holders of record of shares of Common Stock to be entitled to receive any such dividend, distribution, rights, warrants, or other securities are to be determined, (ii) the date on which any such reclassification, change of outstanding shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance of property, liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, change of outstanding shares, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance of property, liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, or (iii) the date of such action which would require an adjustment to the Exercise Price. 8. The issuance of any shares or other securities upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the delivery of certificates or other instruments representing such shares or other securities, shall be made without charge to the Holder for any tax or other charge in respect of such issuance. The -6- Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. 9. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 9, if at any time the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Act covering its shares of Common Stock (other than a registration statement filed under Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")), it shall give to each holder of Warrants and/or Shares, notice of such proposed registration (and a description of the form and manner and other relevant facts involved in such proposed registration) at least 60 days prior to the filing of the registration statement and shall afford each such holder who gives the Company written notice not less than 15 days prior to such filing that such holder then proposes to sell or distribute publicly all or any portion of the Shares then held, or to be held upon exercise of such Warrants, the opportunity to have such shares included in the securities registered under the registration statement; provided, however, that following the giving of notice of its intention to register its securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company may determine, at its election, not to register any securities pursuant to such registration, and immediately thereon give written notice of such determination to each such holder who requested the registration of its securities and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligations to register any securities in connection with such registration; and, provided further, that prior to the effective date of the registration statement, any holder who has given the Company written notice of its desire to have its shares included in the securities to be registered under the registration statement (an "Electing Holder") may determine not to include all or some of such shares in such registration by providing written notice of such determination to the Company. All expenses, disbursements and fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel, auditing fees, printing expenses, registration and filing fees and blue sky fees and expenses, but excluding any underwriting fees, discounts or commissions) incurred in connection with the registration by the Company of any shares for any such holder under this Section 9(a) shall be borne by the Company. (b) If a registration pursuant to Section 9(a) involves an underwritten offering and the managing or lead underwriter advises the Company in writing (with a copy to each holder of Warrants and/or Shares that has requested registration) that, in its good faith opinion, the number of shares proposed to be included in such offering exceeds the number of shares that can reasonably be sold in (or during the time of) such offering or otherwise would materially and adversely affect its ability to effect such offering upon the terms proposed, then the Company will include in such registration the maximum number of securities that the Company is so advised should be included in such offering, and the Company, all Electing Holders and all other holders of securities proposing to register shares in such offering shall share pro rata in the number of shares of securities to be so excluded from such offering, with such sharing to be based upon the respective number of shares of securities as to which registration has been requested by each such party. (c) In connection with any registration under the Act and state securities laws pursuant to this Section 9, the Company shall furnish each holder whose shares are registered -7- thereunder with copies of the registration statement and all amendments thereto and will supply each such holder with copies of any preliminary and final prospectus included therein in such quantities as may be necessary for the purposes of such proposed sale or distribution that the holder or holders may reasonably request. (d) In connection with any registration of shares pursuant to this Section 9, the Electing Holders whose shares are being registered shall furnish the Company with such information concerning such Electing Holders and the proposed sale or distribution as shall be required for use in the preparation of such registration statement and applications. (e) (i) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each holder of Common Stock registered pursuant to this Agreement with the Commission, or under any state securities law or regulation, and each such holder's officers, directors, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls such holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several to which such holder or such other person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, but only to the extent that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, registration statement, prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each such holder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such holder in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission (x) made in any such document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information with respect to such holder furnished to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or (y) made in any preliminary prospectus if (A) such holder failed to send or deliver a current copy of the prospectus to the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, or liability with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale of the securities concerned to such person, (B) it is determined that it was the responsibility of such holder to provide such person with a current copy of the prospectus, and (C) such current copy of the prospectus would have completely corrected such untrue statement or omission. (ii) Each holder of Common Stock registered pursuant to this Agreement will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Company's officers, directors, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such other person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such other persons for any legal or -8- other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any such document, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information with respect to such holder furnished to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein. (iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Sections 9(e)(i) or (ii) of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under either such section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that the failure or delay of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 9(e), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay to give notice. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party by notice in writing to the indemnified party. After receipt of written notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not, except as set forth in the following sentence, be liable to such indemnified party under either of such sections for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation incurred prior to the assumption by the indemnifying party. The preceding sentence notwithstanding, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel and direct its defense, with the fees and expenses of such counsel and such other expenses related thereto to be borne by the indemnifying party, if the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (iv) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9(e) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Sections 9(e)(i) or (ii) above (other than by reason of exceptions provided in such sections) in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the holder or holders from this Agreement and from the offering of the shares of Common Stock. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the holders in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the holder and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or -9- omission. The Company and the holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(e)(iv) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 9(e)(iv). Except as provided in Section 9(e)(iii), the amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 9(e)(iv) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 9(e) to the contrary, no Holder shall be liable for any amount, in the aggregate, in excess of the net proceeds to such Holder from the sale of such holder's Shares giving rise to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. (v) The obligations of the Company under this Section 9(e) shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have at law or in equity. 10. Unless registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 9 hereof, the Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to a stop transfer order and the certificate or certificates evidencing such Shares shall bear the following legend: "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND NEITHER SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS." 11. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any Warrant (and upon surrender of any Warrant if mutilated), the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder thereof a new Warrant of like date, tenor, and denomination. 12. The Holder of any Warrant shall not have solely on account of such status, any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, or to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other proceedings of the Company, except as provided in this Warrant. 13. The Company may by notice to the Holders of all the Warrants make any changes or corrections in the Warrants (i) that it shall deem in good faith appropriate to cure any ambiguity or to correct any defective or inconsistent provision or manifest mistake or error contained in the Warrants; or (ii) that it may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not adversely affect the -10- interests of the holders of Warrants; provided, however, that the Warrants shall not otherwise be modified, supplemented or altered in any respect except with the consent in writing of the Holders of Warrants representing not less than 50% of the Warrants then outstanding; and provided, further, that no change in the number or nature of the securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, or increasing the Exercise Price therefor, or the acceleration of the termination of the Exercise Period, shall be made without the consent in writing of the Holders of Warrants representing not less than two-thirds of the Warrants then outstanding (other than such changes as are specifically prescribed by this Warrant as originally executed or are made in compliance with applicable law). 14. This Warrant has been negotiated and consummated in the State of Texas and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas applicable to contracts made and performed within such State, without regard to principles governing conflicts of law.
