THIS
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) CERTIFIES
that, for value received, The Quercus Trust (the
“Holder”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to
the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set
forth, at any time on or after the date of this Warrant and on or
prior to the first anniversary of the date of this Warrant (the
“Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe
for and purchase from Clean Power Technologies, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the “Company”), up to 1,111,111 shares
(the “Warrant Shares”) of the Common Stock, par value
$0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common
Stock”). The purchase price per share of Common
Stock is $0.85 (the “Exercise Price”). The
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares for which the
Warrant is exercisable shall be subject to adjustment as provided
herein. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Stock
Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”),
between the Company and the Purchaser thereto (the date of such
Agreement, the “Closing Date”). This Warrant
is being issued to the Purchaser, as more fully described in the
Stock Purchase Agreement.
1.
Title to Warrant . Prior to the Termination Date
and subject to compliance with applicable laws, including transfer
restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws, and Section 7
of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the
Company by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form
annexed hereto properly endorsed. The transferee shall
sign an investment letter in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Company.
2.
Authorization of Shares . Except as provided in
the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company covenants that all
Warrant Shares which may be issued from time to time upon the
exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant, including the payment of
the exercise price for such Warrant Shares, will, upon exercise of
the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free
from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring
contemporaneously with such issue).
3.
Exercise of Warrant .
(a)
Subject to Section 3(c), exercise of the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant may be made within one (1) year from
the its issuance, at any time on or before 5 p.m., New York City
time, by delivery to the Company of a duly executed Notice of
Exercise Form annexed hereto (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered
Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the
Company) and surrender of this Warrant, together with payment of
the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by
wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States
bank in immediately available funds.
Certificates
for Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the
Holder within three (3) Trading Days from the delivery to the
Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant
and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth
above (“Warrant Share Delivery Date”). This
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the later of the
date the Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company and the
date the Exercise Price is received by the Company. The
Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or
any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed
to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes,
as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the
Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by
the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 5 prior to the issuance of
such shares, have been paid. If the Company shall fail
for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder within three
(3) Trading Days of receipt of the Notice of Exercise, a
certificate for the Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled
and register such Warrant Shares on the Company’s share
register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC
for such number of Warrant Shares or other securities to which the
Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this
Warrant, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases
(in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock
to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant
Shares or other securities issuable upon such exercise that the
Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a
“Buy-In” ), then the Company shall, within three (3)
business days after the Holder’s request and in the
Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an
amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased (the “Buy-In Price” ), at which point the
Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to
issue such Warrant Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor
its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing such Warrant Shares and pay cash to the
Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In
Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common
Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of
exercise. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s
right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at
law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the
Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required
pursuant to the terms hereof.
(b)
If
this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall,
at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant
Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all
other respects be identical with this Warrant.
(c)
In no
event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise such number of
Warrants, which when added to the sum of the number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is defined under
Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act), by the Holder, would
exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on
the Warrant Share Delivery Date, as determined in accordance with
Rule 13d-1(j) of the 1934 Act.
4.
No
Fractional Shares or Scrip . No fractional shares or
scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share
which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such
exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of
such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Exercise Price.
5.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of
certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the
Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in
respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall
be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may
be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event
certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other
than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for
exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached
hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may require, as
a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse
it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
6.
Closing of Books . The Company will not close its
stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the
timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms
hereof.
7.
Transfer, Division and Combination .
(a)
Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the
conditions set forth in Sections 1 and 7(e) hereof and to the
provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all
rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon
surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in
the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent
or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable
upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender
and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and
deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or
assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in
such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a
new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned,
and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant,
if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the
purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant
issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder will
not voluntarily and knowingly assign or transfer this Warrant or
the Warrant Shares to any direct competitor of the Company without
the Company’s prior written consent.
(b)
This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon
presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,
together with a written notice specifying the names and
denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the
Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance
with Section 7(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such
division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a
new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to
be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.
(c)
The
Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense (other
than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section
7.
(d)
The
Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office, books for the
registration and the registration of transfer of the
Warrants.
(e)
The
Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i)
that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be,
furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Company (which opinion shall be in form,
substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be made without
registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or
transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter
in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the
transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in
Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act or a qualified
institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities
Act.
