WARRANT TO PURCHASE
SHARES
This Warrant is issued to SAIL Venture Partners,
LP (“ Investor ”) by CNS Response, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), pursuant
to the terms of that certain Bridge Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement (the “ Agreement ”), dated May 14,
2009. All capitalized terms not defined in this Warrant
shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the
Agreement.
1. Purchase
of Shares . Subject to the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth and set forth in the Agreement, the holder of
this Warrant is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the
Company shall notify the holder hereof in writing), to purchase
from the Company up to 100,000 fully paid and nonassessable
Shares (as defined below) at the Exercise Price (as defined
below).
(a) Exercise
Price . The exercise price for the Shares initially
shall be $0.25 per share (such price, as adjusted from time to
time, is herein referred to as the “ Exercise Price
”).
(b) Exercise
Period . This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole
or in part, during the term commencing on the date hereof and
ending on the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 14
hereof.
(c) The
Shares . The term “ Shares ”
shall mean shares of the Company’s common stock, par value
$0.001 per share.
(d) Change
of Control . The term “ Change of
Control ” shall mean (i) any consolidation or merger
involving the Company pursuant to which the Company's stockholders
own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the
surviving entity or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company.
3. Method
of Exercise . While this Warrant remains outstanding
and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the holder
may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced
hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:
(i) the
surrender of the Warrant, together with a notice of exercise to the
Secretary of the Company at its principal offices; and
(ii) the payment
to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price
for the number of Shares being purchased.
4. Net
Exercise . In lieu of cash exercising this Warrant,
the holder of this Warrant may elect to receive shares equal to the
value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by
surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company
together with notice of such election, in which event the Company
shall issue to the holder hereof a number of Shares computed using
the following formula:
|
|
|
The number of
Shares to be issued to the holder of this Warrant.
|
|
|
|
The number of
Shares purchasable under this Warrant.
|
|
|
|
The fair market
value of one Share.
|
|
|
|
The Exercise
Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations).
|
For purposes of this Section 4, the fair
market value of a Share shall mean the average of the closing bid
and asked prices of Shares quoted in the over-the-counter market in
which the Shares are traded or the closing price quoted on any
exchange on which the Shares are listed, whichever is applicable,
as published in the Western Edition of The Wall Street
Journal for the ten (10) trading days prior to the date of
determination of fair market value (or such shorter period of time
during which such stock was traded over-the-counter or on such
exchange). If the Shares are not traded on the
over-the-counter market or on an exchange, the fair market value
shall be the price per Share that the Company could obtain from a
willing buyer for Shares sold by the Company from authorized but
unissued Shares, as such prices shall be determined in good faith
by the Company’s Board of Directors.
5.
Certificates for Shares . Upon the exercise of
the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more
certificates for the number of Shares so purchased shall be issued
as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event within thirty
(30) days of the delivery of the subscription notice.
6. Issuance
of Shares . The Company covenants that the Shares,
when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance
thereof.
7.
Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares
. The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a)
Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances
. If the Company shall at any time prior to the
expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Shares, by split-up or
otherwise, or combine its Shares, or issue additional shares of its
Shares as a dividend, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise
of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the
case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately
decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate
adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per
share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total
number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall
remain the same. Any adjustment under this
Section 7(a) shall become effective at the close of business
on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as
of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record
date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.
(b)
Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation
. In case of any reclassification, capital
reorganization, or change in the capital stock of the Company
(other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock
dividend provided for in Section 7(a) above), then the Company
shall make appropriate provision so that the holder of this Warrant
shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this
Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon
the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of
stock and other securities and property receivable in connection
with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder
of the same number of Shares as were purchasable by the holder of
this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification,
reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate
provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of
the holder of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof, including
Sections 7(a), shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any
shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon
exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be
