WARRANT AGREEMENT
WARRANT
AGREEMENT (“ Agreement ”), dated as of July 9,
2009, by and between Suspect Detection Systems Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “ Company ”), and NG-The
Northern Group LP (the " Warrantholder "). Certain
capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 15
hereof.
In consideration of the mutual terms,
conditions, representations, warranties and agreements herein set
forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:
A. The
Company hereby issues and grants to Warrantholder Two Million Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand (2,250,000) stock purchase warrants
(hereinafter referred to as “ Warrants
”).
B. Each
Warrant shall grant to the holder thereof the right to purchase one
(1) share of common stock of the Company (the “ Common
Stock ”). Commencing on the date hereof (the
“ Warrant Commencement Date ”), and terminating
on July 8, 2011 (the “ Warrant Expiration Date
”), the holder shall have the right, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions to exercise set forth in Section 7
of this Agreement, to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock per
each Warrant (the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants being collectively referred to herein as the “
Warrant Shares ”) at an exercise price of $0.15 per
Warrant Share (the “ Exercise Price
”). The number of Warrant Shares issuable on
exercise of each Warrant and the Exercise Price are all subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement.

|
Form of
Warrant Certificates.
|
Promptly after the execution and delivery of
this Agreement by the parties hereto, the Company may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, cause to be executed and delivered to
Warrantholder one or more certificates evidencing the Warrants (the
“ Warrant Certificates ”). Each
Warrant Certificate delivered hereunder shall be substantially in
the form set forth in Exhibit Warrant Form attached hereto
and may have such letters, numbers or other identification marks
and legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as the
Company may deem appropriate and that are not inconsistent with the
terms of this Agreement or as may be required by applicable law,
rule or regulation. Each Warrant Certificate shall be
dated the date of execution by the Company.
|
|
Execution of
Warrant Certificates.
|
Each Warrant Certificate delivered hereunder
shall be signed on behalf of the Company by at least one of the
following: its Chief Executive Officer, President, Vice President,
Secretary or Assistant Secretary. Each such signature
may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be imprinted or
otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates.
If any officer of the Company who signed any
Warrant Certificate ceases to be an officer of the Company before
the Warrant Certificate so signed shall have been delivered by the
Company, such Warrant Certificate nevertheless may be delivered as
though such person had not ceased to be such officer of the
Company.
|
|
Registration
of Ownership and Transfer.
|
Warrant Certificates shall be issued in
registered form only. The Company will keep or cause to
be kept books for registration of ownership and transfer of each
Warrant Certificate issued pursuant to this
Agreement. Each Warrant Certificate issued pursuant to
this Agreement shall be numbered by the Company and shall be
registered by the Company in the name of the holder thereof
(initially the Warrantholder). The Company may deem and
treat the registered holder of any Warrant Certificate as the
absolute owner thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership
or other writing thereon made by anyone) for the purpose of any
exercise thereof and for all other purposes, and the Company shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
No Warrant may be sold, pledged, hypothecated,
assigned, conveyed, transferred or otherwise disposed of without
the agreement of the Company, which will not be unreasonably
withheld.
|
|
Mutilated or
Missing Warrant Certificates.
|
If any Warrant Certificate is mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue, upon surrender and
cancellation of any mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of
and substitution for any lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and
representing an equal number of Warrants. In the case of
a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant
Certificate shall be issued by the Company only upon the
Company’s receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of such
loss, theft or destruction and, if requested, an indemnity or bond
reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
A.
Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Section 7, Warrants may be exercised, in whole or
in part (but not as to any fractional part of a Warrant), at any
time or from time to time on and after the Warrant Commencement
Date and on or prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Warrant
Expiration Date.
In order to exercise any Warrant, Warrantholder
shall deliver to the Company at its office referred to in
Section 16 the following: (i) a written notice in the
form of the Election to Purchase appearing at the end of the form
of Warrant Certificate attached as Exhibit Warrant Form
hereto of such Warrantholder’s election to exercise the
Warrants, which notice shall specify the number of such
Warrantholder’s Warrants being exercised; (ii) the
Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates, if any, evidencing the
Warrants being exercised; and (iii) payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price.
All rights of Warrantholder with respect to any
Warrant that has not been exercised, on or prior to 5:00 p.m.,
Eastern time, on the Warrant Expiration Date shall immediately
cease and such Warrants shall be automatically cancelled and
void.
B.
Payment of Exercise Price . Payment of the
Exercise Price with respect to Warrants being exercised hereunder
shall be made by the payment to the Company, in cash, by check or
wire transfer, of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied
by the number of Warrants then being exercised.
C.
Payment of Taxes . The Company shall be
responsible for paying any and all issue, documentary, stamp or
other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or
delivery of Warrant Shares on exercise of a Warrant.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
Warrantholder shall be responsible for all taxes that may be due
and payable by the Warrantholder as a result of the issuance of
this Warrant to the Warrantholder or as a result of the issuance of
the Warrant Shares upon due exercise hereof.
D.
Delivery of Warrant Shares . Upon receipt of the
items referred to in Section 7A, the Company shall, as promptly as
practicable, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
delivered, to or upon the written order of Warrantholder, and in
the name of Warrantholder or Warrantholder’s designee, a
stock certificate or stock certificates representing the number of
Warrant Shares to be issued on exercise of the
Warrant(s). If the Warrant Shares shall in accordance
with the terms thereof have become automatically convertible into
shares of the Company’s Common Stock prior to the time a
Warrant is exercised, the Company shall in lieu of issuing shares
of Common Stock, issue to the Warrantholder or its designee on
exercise of such Warrant, a stock certificate or stock certificates
representing the number of shares of Common Stock into which the
Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of such Warrant are
convertible. The certificates issued to Warrantholder or
its designee shall bear any restrictive legend required under
applicable law, rule or regulation. The stock
certificate or certificates so delivered shall be registered in the
name of Warrantholder or such other name as shall be designated in
said notice. A Warrant shall be deemed to have been
exercised and such stock certificate or stock certificates shall be
deemed to have been issued, and such 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
that such notice, together with payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price and the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates
evidencing the Warrants to be exercised, is received by the Company
as aforesaid. If the Warrants evidenced by any Warrant
Certificate are exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time
of delivery of the stock certificates, deliver to the holder
thereof a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants that were
not exercised or surrendered, which shall in all respects (other
than as to the number of Warrants evidenced thereby) be identical
to the Warrant Certificate being exercised. Any Warrant
Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall be
canceled by the Company.

|
Adjustment
of Number of Warrant Shares Issuable Upon Exercise of a Warrant and
Adjustment of Exercise Price.
|
A.
Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends,
Recapitalizations . The number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Exercise Price shall
each be proportionately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend,
stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization or the like
affecting the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock that
occurs after the date hereof.
B.
Adjustments for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger
. If after the date hereof, the Company (or any other
entity, the stock or other securities of which are at the time
receivable on the exercise of the Warrants), consolidates with or
merges into another entity or conveys all or substantially all of
its assets to another entity, then, in each such case,
Warrantholder, upon any permitted exercise of a Warrant (as
provided in Section 7), at any time after the consummation of such
reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, shall be
entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and
property receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such
consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which
such Warrantholder would have been entitled upon the consummation
of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance if such
Warrantholder had exercised the Warrant immediately prior thereto,
all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section
8. The successor or purchasing entity in any such
reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance (if other than
the Company) shall duly execute and deliver to Warrantholder a
written acknowledgment of such entity’s obligations under the
Warrants and this Agreement.
C.
Notice of Certain Events .
Upon the occurrence of any event resulting in an
adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares (or other stock or
securities or property) receivable upon the exercise of the
Warrants or the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly
thereafter (i) compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms
of the Warrants, (ii) prepare a certificate setting forth such
adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment is based, and (iii) mail copies of such certificate to
Warrantholder.
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep
available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, or its authorized and issued
Common Stock held in its treasury, the aggregate number of the
Warrant Shares deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding
Warrants, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation
to issue the Warrant Shares upon the due and punctual exercise of
the Warrants, through 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Warrant
Expiration Date.
The Company shall not, by amendment of its
certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or through reorganization,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities,
sale of assets or any other voluntary action, willfully avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of
the Warrants or this Agreement, and shall at all times in good
faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the
taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in
order to protect the rights of Warrantholder under the Warrants and
this Agreement against wrongful impairment. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company: (i) shall not set or increase the par value of
any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon exercise,
and (ii) shall take all actions that are necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid
and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the
Warrants.
