Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


Stock Purchase Agreement


On November 23, 2015, Hydrophi Technologies Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), whereby the Company purchased, all of the outstanding stock of each of Pro Star Freight Systems Inc. and Pro Star Truck Center Inc. (collectively, “Pro Star”).  The Pro Star Purchase Agreement is an attempt to preserve and enhance shareholder value in light of ongoing challenges in the execution of the Company’s business mission to bring hydrogen on demand technology to older, mechanical injection vehicles. Pro Star had unaudited management reported 2014 revenue of $27.3 million with net income of $660,000.


The purchase price for Pro Star consists of (i) up to an aggregate of $1,512,500 in cash, payable in installments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (“Closing Cash”), (ii) a promissory note in the principal amount of $2,500,000, which is convertible into 4.9% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis (the “Note”), (iii) Series A preferred stock of the Company, which will be convertible into 80% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis (the “Preferred Stock”) and (iv) a form of warrant that will be exercisable for a number of shares of common stock of the Company necessary to ensure that the Note and Preferred Stock collectively result in the issuance of 84.9% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis (the “Goldenshare”).  Following the eighteen month anniversary of the issuance of the Preferred Stock, holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to dividends at the rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly.  Holders of Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class with holders of common stock of the Company.


Further, certain existing investors have agreed to either forgive certain outstanding debt of the Company or exchange such debt for common stock of the Company.  Such forgiveness and/or exchange has resulted in the elimination of debt liability of almost $2.5 million, and the net return to treasury of approximately 30 million shares of common stock.


New Notes


The Closing Cash will be funded to the Company by existing investors in the Company in exchange for the issuance of certain convertible promissory notes (the “New Notes”).  New Notes representing $1,250,000 of the Closing Cash will (i) have a term of one year, which in certain circumstances may be extended by an additional nine months, (ii) accrue interest at 10%, (iii) have a conversion price equal to a 20% discount from the average of the three lowest trading prices in the five trading days prior to the day that the holder elects conversion and (iv) contain standard events of default.  New Notes representing up to $262,500 of the Closing Cash will (i) have a term of nine months, (ii) accrue interest at 10%, (iii) have a conversion price equal to a 15% discount from the average of the three lowest trading prices in the five trading days prior to the day that the holder elects conversion and (iv) contain standard events of default.    


Settlement and Extinguishment


In connection with the Company’s entering into the Purchase Agreement, existing investors agreed to return to the Company, for cancellation, that certain warrant to purchase 2,647,059 shares of the Company’s common stock, dated April 28, 2014.  In addition, the existing investors agreed that the Company shall no longer be obligated to make any “Royalty Payments” pursuant to Section 4s. of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 4, 2014, by and between the Company and the investor party thereto.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement, the Note, the Preferred Stock, the New Notes and the Goldenshare does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Preferred Stock, Purchase Agreement, the Note, the New Notes and the Goldenshare, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 4.1, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein. The provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the Note, the Preferred Stock and the New Notes, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such agreements and are not intended as documents for investors and the public to obtain factual information about our current state of affairs. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF

SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

OF

HYDROPHI TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC.


_________________________________________________________________

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 607.0601


of the Florida Business Corporation Act

_________________________________________________________________


Hydrophi Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and validly existing under the Florida Business Corporation Act (“FBCA”), hereby certifies that the following resolutions have been duly adopted by the Corporation’s Board of Directors by means of a Unanimous Consent of the Board executed on October 29, 2015, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and the FBCA:

WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Certificate”), authorizes a class of stock designated as Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), comprising 25,000,000 shares, par value $0.0001 per share, provides that such Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, and vests authority in the Board of Directors, within the limitations and restrictions stated in the Certificate, to fix or alter the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, rights and terms of redemption, the redemption price or prices and the liquidation preferences of any series of Preferred Stock within the limitations set forth in the Florida Business Corporation Act;

WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Directors to designate one new series of Preferred Stock and to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as provided herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Corporation does hereby designate 21,000,000 shares of the authorized but unissued Preferred Stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”) and does hereby fix the powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Series A Preferred to be as follows:

SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

A.

Designation.  21,000,000 shares of the authorized, but undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Corporation are hereby constituted as a series of the preferred stock designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” (“Series A Preferred”).  The date on which the Corporation initially issues any share of Series A Preferred shall be deemed to be its “date of issuance” regardless of the number of times transfer of such share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such share.  The Series A Preferred shall have rights and preferences relative to all other classes and series of the capital stock of the Corporation as set forth herein.

B.

Dividends.  Following the eighteen month anniversary of the date of issuance, the holders of the Series A Preferred shall be entitled to receive dividends at the rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly.  No dividends (other than those payable solely in Common Stock) shall be paid on the Common Stock or any class or series of capital stock ranking junior, as to dividends, to the Series A Preferred during any fiscal year of the






Corporation until there shall have been paid or declared and set apart during that fiscal year for the holders of the Series A Preferred a dividend in an amount per share equal to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock times (ii) the amount per share of the dividend to be paid on the Common Stock.

C.

Preference on Liquidation.

1.

Upon the occurrence of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidating Event”), each holder of Series A Preferred then outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made in respect of the Common Stock, or other series of preferred stock then in existence that is outstanding and junior to the Series A Preferred upon liquidation, an amount per share of Series A Preferred equal to the amount that would be receivable if the Series A Preferred had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation distribution, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid dividends.   For purposes of this Subsection C.1, a merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets shall not be deemed a Liquidating Event.

2.

Written notice of any such Liquidating Event stating a payment date, the place where such payment shall be made and the amount of each payment in liquidation shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, not less than ten (10) days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each holder of record of the Series A Preferred at such holder’s address as shown in the records of the Corporation. If upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the Series A Preferred and all other classes or series of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred upon liquidation the full amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders of the Series A Preferred shall share ratably with any other such class or series in any distribution of assets according to the amounts that would be payable in respect of the shares held by each of them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to said shares were paid in full.

D.

Voting.

1.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in Subsection D.2, Section F or Section G hereof or as required by law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class.  The holder of each share of Series A Preferred (i) shall be entitled to the number of votes with respect to such share equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series A Preferred could be converted on the record date for the subject vote or written consent (or, if there is no such record date, then on the date that such vote is taken or consent is effective) and (ii) shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation.  Fractional votes shall not be permitted, and any fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all shares of Common Stock into which shares of Series A Preferred held by each holder could be converted) shall be reduced to the nearest whole number.

2.

The holders of record of the shares of Common Stock and the holders of record of the shares of Series A Preferred, voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect the total number of directors of the Corporation.  At any meeting held for the purpose of electing a director, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class or series entitled to elect such director shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing such director.

E.

Conversion Rights.

1.

Conversion.  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into such number of shares of the Corporation's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), equal to 0.00000004% of the Corporation at the time of conversion on a fully diluted basis (i.e.after giving effect to all securities and assuming conversion and exercise of all securities, including, but not limited to, all common shares, preferred shares, convertible debt securities, options and warrants, whether they are in the money or not and whether they are exercisable or not); provided, however, that for holders of Series A Preferred that beneficially own less than 4.9% of the total amount of authorized Series A Preferred, each share of Series A Preferred held by such holder shall be convertible, beginning on the six-month anniversary of the date hereof, into a maximum of 0.00000004% of the Corporation fixed as of the six



2




month anniversary of the date hereof (i.e. after giving effect to all securities and assuming conversion and exercise of all securities issued on the six month anniversary of the date hereof, including, but not limited to, all common shares, preferred shares, convertible debt securities, options and warrants, whether they are in the money or not and whether they are exercisable or not).

2.

 Right to Convert.  Each share of Series A Preferred and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon shall be convertible at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the six month anniversary of the issuance of such share, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Corporation.

3.

Mechanics of Conversion.

(i)

The holder of any shares of Series A Preferred may exercise the conversion rights as to such shares or any part thereof by delivering to the Corporation during regular business hours, at the office of any transfer agent of the Corporation for the Series A Preferred, or at the principal office of the Corporation or at such other place as may be designated by the Corporation, the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted, duly endorsed for transfer to the Corporation or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer (if required by it), accompanied by written notice stating that the holder elects to convert all or a number of such shares represented by the certificate or certificates.  Such notice shall also state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when such delivery is made, and such date is referred to herein as the “Conversion Date.”  As promptly as practicable thereafter (but in any event within three (3) business days thereafter), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, at such office or other place designated by the Corporation, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and a check for cash with respect to any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock as provided in Subsection E.3 (ii).  The holder shall be deemed to have become a stockholder of record on the applicable Conversion Date.  Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of Series A Preferred represented by a certificate surrendered for conversion, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to the holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate representing the number of shares of Series A Preferred not so converted.

(ii)

No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred. If more than one share of Series A Preferred shall be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred so surrendered.  Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest equal to the value of such fractional interest based upon the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date.  For purposes of this Subsection E.3(ii), the “Current Market Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the primary Trading Market or exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted; (b) if prices for the Common Stock are then reported by the OTC Markets Group (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent sale price per share of the Common Stock so reported; or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent qualified appraiser selected in good faith and paid for by the Investor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is no reported closing price, last reported sales price, or bid and ask prices, as the case may be, for the day in question, then the Current Market Price shall be determined as of the latest date prior to such day for which such closing price, last reported sales price, or bid and ask prices, as the case may be, are available, unless such securities have not been traded on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market for 30 or more days immediately prior to the day in question, in which case the Current Market Price shall be determined in good faith by, and reflected in a formal resolution of, the Board of Directors of the Corporation.  For purposes hereof, “Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE MKT, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange, the OTCQB, the OTCQX or the OTC Pink (or any successors to any of the foregoing).



3




(iii)

The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Series A Preferred pursuant hereto. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the Series A Preferred so converted was registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

(iv)

The Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Series A Preferred, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all Series A Preferred from time to time outstanding. The Corporation shall from time to time use its best efforts to obtain necessary director and stockholder approvals, in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, to increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the authorized amount of its Common Stock remaining unissued shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the shares of Series A Preferred at the time outstanding, and shall take all such actions as are necessary to increase such authorized amount of Common Stock upon obtaining such approvals.

(v)

If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of shares of Series A Preferred require registration or listing with, or approval of, any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise, before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Corporation will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

(vi)

Assuming there are a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance, all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred will upon issuance by the Corporation be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

(viii)

The Corporation will not, by amendment of the Certificate or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of this Section E and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred against impairment.

(ix)

Assuming there are a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon such conversion, if by the third trading day after a Conversion Date the Corporation fails to deliver the required number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred in the manner required pursuant to this Subsection E.3, then the applicable holder of Series A Preferred will have the right to rescind such conversion.

(x)

Assuming there are a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon such conversion, if by the third trading day after a Conversion Date the Corporation fails to deliver the required number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred in the manner required pursuant to this Subsection E.3, and if after such third trading day and prior to the receipt of such shares of Common Stock, shares of Common Stock are purchased by or for the account of the applicable holder of Series A Preferred (in an open market transaction or otherwise) to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such holder of the underlying shares of Common Stock which such holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall (1) pay in cash to such holder the amount by which (x) such holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of underlying shares of Common Stock that the Corporation was required to deliver to such holder in connection with such conversion by (B) the closing price of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date and (2) at the option of such holder, either reinstate the number of shares of Series A Preferred for which such conversion was not honored or deliver to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been



4




issued had the Corporation timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder.  Any such holder of Series A Preferred shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to such holder in respect of the Buy-In.

F.

Protective Provisions.  So long as at least 10,500,001 shares of Series A Preferred are outstanding (subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations and the like), in addition to any other approvals required by applicable law, the prior consent, approval or vote of the holders of all the outstanding Series A Preferred shall be required (in addition to any consent or approval otherwise required by law) for the Corporation to take any of the following actions:

(1)

amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate (whether by merger or otherwise) so as to affect the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred;

(2)

authorize, create, designate, establish or issue (whether by merger or otherwise) (i) an increased number of shares of Series A Preferred, or (ii) any other class or series of capital stock ranking senior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred as to dividends or upon liquidation or reclassify any shares of Common Stock into shares having any preference or priority as to dividends or upon liquidation superior to or on parity with any such preference or priority of Series A Preferred; or

(3)

purchase or redeem, or pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on, any securities junior in priority to the Series A Preferred.

G.

Amendment; Waiver.  Any term of the Series A Preferred may be amended or waived upon the written consent of the Corporation and the holders of all the Series A Preferred then outstanding, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that the right to convert the Series A Preferred may not be altered or waived, without the written consent of the holders of all of the Series A Preferred then outstanding; and provided, further, that no such amendment or waiver may adversely affect the rights of any holder without such holder’s written consent.

H.

Action By Holders.  Any action or consent to be taken or given by the holders of the Series A Preferred may be given either at a meeting of the holders of the Series A Preferred called and held for such purpose or by written consent.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Hydrophi Technologies Group, Inc. has caused this Certificate to be signed by Roger M. Slotkin, its Chief Executive Officer, this 20th day of November, 2015.

and Post-Closing Tax Returns shall be borne by the Buyer.  Buyer shall permit Sellers to review and comment on each Straddle Tax Return prior to filing.

enforceable to the extent compatible with applicable Laws that shall then apply.  Buyer hereby further acknowledges that money damages will be impossible to calculate and may not adequately compensate Seller in connection with an actual or threatened breach by it of the provisions of this Section 6.6.  Accordingly, Buyer hereby expressly waives all rights to raise the adequacy of Seller’s remedies at law as a defense if Seller seeks to enforce by injunction or other equitable relief the due and proper performance and observance of the provisions of this Section 6.6.  In addition, Seller shall be entitled to pursue any other available remedies at law or equity, including the recovery of money damages, in respect of the actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 6.6.

10.2

Indemnification.

(a)

Indemnification by Sellers.  Subject to the limitations and the provisions set forth in this Agreement, Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all loss, damage, expense (including court costs, amounts paid in settlement, judgments, reasonable attorneys’ fees or other expenses for investigating and defending), suit, action, claim, liability or obligation (collectively, “Damages”) related to, caused by or arising from: (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty contained herein or in any Related Document by the Company or Sellers; (ii) the failure to fulfill any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any Related Document by the Company or Sellers; (iii)  third party claims arising in breach of contract, breach of warranty, product liability, unfair competition, personal or other injury, tort or infringement of property rights of others or other third party claims, in each case which claim is with respect to any and all activities of the Company, Sellers or any Affiliate thereof in connection with the conduct of the Business on or prior to the Closing Date; and (iv) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments, judgments, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, in enforcing this indemnity against the Sellers.

(b)

Indemnification by Buyer.  Subject to the limitations and provisions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers against any Damages related to, caused by or arising from: (i) any misrepresentation, breach of any representation or warranty, or failure to fulfill any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any Related Document by Buyer; (ii) any and all liabilities and obligations of the Company, or arising out of or related to the ownership of the Assets after the Closing Date; (iii) third party claims arising in breach of contract, breach of warranty, product liability, unfair competition, personal or other injury, tort or infringement of property rights of others or other third party claims, in each case which claim is with respect to any and all activities of the Company, Buyer or any Affiliate thereof in connection with the conduct of the Business after the Closing Date; and (iv) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments, judgments, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, in enforcing this indemnity against Buyer.

(c)

Tax Damages.  The calculation of, and the liability for, Damages related to Taxes shall be governed solely by Section 6.5 and Sections ?10.2, ?10.3, ?10.4, ?10.5 and ?10.6, but only to the extent such latter sections are not inconsistent with specific provisions of Section ?6.5.

10.3

Notice of Claims.  Any party seeking indemnification shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim (the “Notice”) for which such indemnified party intends to assert a right to indemnification under this Agreement (“Claims”).  Failure to give Notice shall not relieve any indemnifying party of any obligations which the indemnifying party may have to the indemnified party under this Article X, except to the extent that such failure has prejudiced the indemnifying party under the provisions for indemnification contained in this Agreement.  The indemnifying party shall reimburse an indemnified party promptly after delivery of a Notice certifying that the indemnified party has incurred Damages after compliance with the terms of this Article X; provided, however, the party receiving the Notice shall have the option to contest any such Damages or its obligations to indemnify therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, at such party’s own cost and expense.  Such option shall be exercised by the giving of notice by the exercising party to the other party within twenty (20) days of receipt of a Notice.  If the parties do not agree upon the amount of Damages, the party seeking indemnification may seek appropriate legal remedy in accordance with this Agreement.

10.4

Limitations on Indemnification Obligation.  The Sellers shall not be liable for indemnification to Buyer under Sections ?10.2(a)(i), and Buyer shall not be liable for indemnification to the Sellers under Section ?10.2(b)(i), under this Agreement until the aggregate amount of all Claims of Buyer or the Sellers under Sections ?10.2(a)(i) or ?10.2(b)(i), as the case may be, exceeds Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) (the Threshold Amount), at which time Buyer or the Sellers, as the case may be, shall be entitled to recover the aggregate amount of all Claims, including the Threshold Amount.  Buyer shall provide the Sellers, and the Sellers shall provide Buyer, with Notice of all Claims included in the Threshold Amount.  The maximum liability of Buyer or the Sellers under this Agreement for indemnification obligations under Sections ?10.2(a)(i) or ?10.2(b)(i), as the case may be, shall not exceed the Purchase Price (such maximum liability amount, the Cap).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Threshold Amount and the Cap shall not apply: (i) in the event of fraud or willful misrepresentation by the indemnifying party; or (ii) to indemnification obligations for Damages in connection with (x) a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections ?3.1?3.1 (No Violation; Authorization), ?3.4 (Capitalization), ?3.13 (Employee Plans; ERISA), ?3.16 (Taxes) and Section ?3.22




(Environmental Claims) or (y) a breach of any covenants of the Company or the Sellers, including, without limitation, ?6.55 (Tax Covenants) and 6.7 (Confidentiality Obligations).  For the sole purpose of calculating the amount of monetary damages that Buyer may be entitled to under this Article X (as opposed to determining if there has been a breach of a representation or warranty), the representations and warranties of the Company and the Sellers shall not be deemed qualified by any references to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or Knowledge.  All indemnification payments under Section ?10.2 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

10.5

Assumption and Defense of Third-Party Action.  If any Claim by Buyer or the Sellers hereunder arises out of a claim by a third party (a Third-Party Claim), the indemnifying party shall have the right, at its own expense and upon written notice to the indemnified party of its intent to do so within twenty (20) days of the Notice, to participate in or assume control of the defense of the Third-Party Claim, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to settle or compromise any such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that such settlement or compromise shall be effected only with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent it if, in its reasonable judgment, it is advisable for it to be represented by separate counsel, and in that event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnified party.  The indemnified party shall have the right to control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to control the defense, if it notifies the indemnifying party that it is assuming the defense of such Claim and that the indemnifying party is relieved of its obligations to the claimant with respect to such Third-Party Claim and to the indemnified party, whereupon the indemnifying party shall be relieved of its obligations under this Article X with respect to such Third-Party Claim.  Except as provided in the preceding sentences, if the indemnifying party does not elect to assume control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall be bound by the results obtained by the indemnified party with respect to such Third-Party Claim.  The indemnifying party agrees to render such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to insure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.  It is expressly agreed and understood that any defense by the indemnifying party of any Third-Party Claims affecting or involving the Business shall not be conducted in a manner which adversely affects or impairs the value or usefulness of the Business, the Assets or the Stock.

10.6

Remedies Exclusive.  The remedies provided in Section ?10.2, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X, and except for the remedy of specific performance where otherwise set forth in this Agreement, shall be the exclusive remedy available for any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the rights of the parties to seek any remedy based upon fraud or criminal misconduct.

The acceptance of the New Note by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Note. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Investor surrendering the same.  No service charge or other fee will be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.  The Company agrees that its prior consent is not required for the transfer of any portion of this Note.

5.

Conversion.

(a)

At the Option of the Investor.  All or any portion of the principal amount of this Note then outstanding together with any accrued and unpaid interest hereunder shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price (subject to limitations set forth in Section 5(c)), at the option of the Investor, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date. The Investor may effect conversions under this Section 5(a), by delivering to the Company a Conversion Notice together with a schedule in the form of Schedule 1 attached hereto (the "Conversion Schedule"). If the Investor is converting less than all of the principal amount represented by this Note, or if a conversion hereunder may not be effected in full due to the application of Section 5(c), the Company shall honor such conversion to the extent permissible hereunder and shall promptly deliver to the Investor a Conversion Schedule indicating the principal amount which has not been converted.

(b)

Intent Regarding Underlying Shares.  This Note shall be convertible into that number of Underlying Shares which would entitle the Investor to 4.9% of such fully-diluted Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents as of any such date.

(c)

Certain Conversion Restrictions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by Investor upon each conversion of this Note (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Investor and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with



4




Investor's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.9% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion).  For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which Investor may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that Investor may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (defined below) involving the Company as contemplated herein.  This restriction may not be waived.

6.

Mechanics of Conversion.

(a)

The number of Underlying Shares issuable upon any conversion hereunder shall equal the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted, divided by the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date, plus (if indicated in the applicable Conversion Notice) the amount of any accrued but unpaid interest on this Note through the Conversion Date, divided by the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date.

(b)

The Company shall, by the third Trading Day following each Conversion Date, issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Investor and in such name or names as the Investor may designate a certificate for the Underlying Shares issuable upon such conversion, free of restrictive legends if at such time a Registration Statement is then effective and available for use by the Investor. The Investor, or any Person so designated by the Investor to receive Underlying Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Underlying Shares as of such Conversion Date. The Company shall use its best efforts to deliver Underlying Shares hereunder electronically (via a DWAC) through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

(c)

The Investor shall not be required to deliver the original Note in order to effect a conversion hereunder.  Execution and delivery of the Conversion Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the Note and issuance of a New Note representing the remaining outstanding principal amount.

(d)

The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Underlying Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Investor to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Investor or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Investor or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Investor in connection with the issuance of such Underlying Shares.

(e)

If by the third Trading Day after a Conversion Date the Company fails to deliver to the Investor such Underlying Shares in such amounts and in the manner required pursuant to Section 5, then the Investor will have the right to rescind the Conversion Notice pertaining thereto by giving written notice to the Company prior to such Investor’s receipt of such Underlying Shares.

(f)

If by the third Trading Day after a Conversion Date the Company fails to deliver to the Investor the required number of Underlying Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5, and if after such third Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Underlying Shares, the Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of the Underlying Shares which the Investor anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall: (1) pay in cash to the Investor (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Investor) the amount by which (x) the Investor's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Underlying Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Investor in connection with the exercise at issue by (B) the Closing Price on the Conversion Date and (2) at the option of the Investor, either void the conversion at issue and reinstate the principal amount of Notes (plus accrued interest therein) for which such conversion was not timely honored or deliver to the Investor the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  The Investor shall provide the Company reasonably detailed evidence or written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Investor in respect of the Buy-In.



5




7.

Events of Default.

(a)

At any time or times following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than under clause (viii) of such defined term with respect to the Company), the Investor may elect, by notice to the Company (an "Event Notice"), to require the Company to purchase all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, as indicated in such Event Notice, at a purchase price in Dollars in cash equal to the greater of: (A) 100% of such outstanding principal amount (except that such amount shall equal 110% in the case of an Event of Default under clause (iii) of the definition of “Event of Default”), plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, through the date of purchase, or (B) the Event Equity Value of the Underlying Shares that would be issuable upon conversion of such principal amount and payment in Common Stock of all such accrued but unpaid interest thereon (without regard to any condition precedent or conversion limitation contained herein).  The aggregate amount payable pursuant to the preceding sentence is referred to as the "Event Price." The Company shall pay the aggregate Event Price to the Investor (free of any claim of subordination) no later than the third Trading Day following the date of delivery of the Event Notice, and upon receipt thereof the Investor shall deliver the original Note so repurchased to the Company.

(b)

Upon the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Company, all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on this Note shall immediately become due and payable in full in Dollars in cash (free of any claim of subordination), without any action by the Investor, and the Company shall immediately be obligated to repurchase this Note held by such Investor at the Event Price pursuant to the preceding paragraph as if the Investor had delivered an Event Notice immediately prior to the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Event.

(c)

In connection with any Event of Default, the Investor need not provide and the Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (other than the Event Notice), and the Investor may immediately enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Any such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by the Investor at any time prior to payment hereunder.

11.

Certain Adjustments.  The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 11.



6




(a)

Stock Dividends and Splits.  If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(b)

Pro Rata Distributions.  If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, "Distributed Property"), then, at the request of the Investor delivered before the 90th day after the record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution, the Company will deliver to the Investor, within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of such distribution), the Distributed Property that the Investor would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Underlying Shares for which this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such record date.  If such Distributed Property is not delivered to the Investor pursuant to the preceding sentence, then upon any conversion of this Note that occurs after such record date, the Investor shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Underlying Shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion, the Distributed Property that the Investor would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Underlying Shares had the Investor been the record holder of such Underlying Shares immediately prior to such record date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11(b) shall not apply to any distribution of rights or securities in respect of adoption by the Company of a shareholder rights plan, which events shall be covered by Section 11(a).

(c)

Fundamental Transactions.  If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 11(a) above) (in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), then upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Investor shall have the right to: (x) declare an Event of Default pursuant to clause (iii) thereunder, (y) receive, for each Underlying Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the "Alternate Consideration") or (z) require the surviving entity to issue to the Investor and instrument identical to this Note (with an appropriate adjustments to the conversion price). For purposes of any such conversion, the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Investor shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction (or, if different, the ultimate parent of such successor or entity or the entity issuing the Alternate Consideration) shall issue to the Investor a new debenture consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Investor's right to convert such debenture into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and insuring that this Note (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

(d)

Reclassifications; Share Exchanges.   In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock, or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property (other than compulsory share exchanges which constitute Change of Control transactions), the Investor shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares only into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the Investor shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities, cash or property as a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such shares of Notes could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification or share exchange would have been entitled. This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications or share exchanges.

(e)

Calculations.  All calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(f)

Notice of Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 11, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare a certificate describing in reasonable detail such adjustment and the transactions giving rise thereto, including all facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Investor.

Principal Amount: $[   ]

Issue Date: November 23, 2015




CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE


FOR VALUE RECEIVED, HYDROPHI TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC., a FLORIDA corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [     ], a [   ] corporation, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of [   ] Dollars ($[  ]), on November 23, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of ten percent (10%) (the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise, compounded on a monthly basis.  This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth in Section 1.9 hereof. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”).  Interest shall commence accruing on the Issue Date, shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.  All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.  All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note.  Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date.  As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.  Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).


If the entire principal amount of this Note plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon is not repaid by the Maturity Date, then starting on the first month anniversary after Maturity Date and continuing monthly on each of the following eight successive months thereafter (or the next business day if such date is not a business day) the Borrower shall redeem one-ninth (1/9th) of the principal amount of this Note plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account identified by the Holder.


This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.





The following terms shall apply to this Note:


ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS


1.1

Conversion Right.


The Holder shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Issue Date and ending on the later of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or Article III, each in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price  (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).  The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 5:30 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”).  The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Borrower’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to pay any or all interest in cash plus (3) at the Borrower’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Section 1.4(g) hereof.


1.2

Conversion Price.


(a)

Calculation of Conversion Price.  The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall be the Conversion Price (as defined herein)(subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events).


(b)

The “Conversion Price” shall be equal to a 20% discount from the average of the three (3) lowest Trading Prices in the five (5) Trading Days prior to the day that the Holder elects conversion. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the lowest trading price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or applicable trading market (the “OTCQB”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) mutually acceptable to Borrower and Holder (i.e. Bloomberg). If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price



2



shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Note being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Note.  “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the OTCQB, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. If the Issuer’s Common stock is chilled for deposit at Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and/or becomes chilled at any point while this Agreement remains outstanding, an additional 5% discount will be attributed to the Conversion Price defined hereof. If the Borrower is unable to issue any shares under this provision due to the fact that there is an insufficient number of authorized and unissued shares available, the Holder promises not to force the Borrower to issue these shares or trigger an Event of Default, provided that Borrower takes immediate steps required to get the appropriate level of approval from shareholders or the board of directors, where applicable to raise the number of authorized shares to satisfy the Notice of Conversion.


(b)

Conversion Price During Major Announcements.  Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary, in the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which the Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation and its capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the Borrower’s Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the  “Announcement Date”), then the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this Section 1.2(a).  For purposes hereof,  “Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date” shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) for which a public announcement as contemplated by this Section 1.2(b) has been made, the date upon which the Borrower (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this Section 1.2(b) to become operative.


1.3

Authorized Shares.    The Borrower represents that upon issuance, the shares issued on conversion of this Note will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Note shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Note.  The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.


1.4

Method of Conversion.


(a)

Mechanics of Conversion.  Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by: (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 5:30 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower.


(b)

Surrender of Note Upon Conversion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted.  The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the



3



dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.


(c)

Payment of Taxes.  The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.


(d)

Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion.  Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt ( but in any event the fifth (5th) business day being hereinafter referred to as the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of the this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement.


(e)

Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock.  Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion.  If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion.  The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 5:30 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.


(f)

Intentionally Omitted.


(g)

Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline.  Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 in cash.  Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note



4



and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate or interfere with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(g) are justified.


1.5

Concerning the Shares.  The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless  (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or otherwise sold pursuant to Rule 144, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:


“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”


The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise has been sold pursuant to Rule 144.


1.6

Effect of Certain Events.


(a)

Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc.  At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either:  (i) be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) or (ii) be treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof.  “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

(b)

Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc.  If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof.  The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, ten (10) days prior written notice of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b).  The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.


(c)

Adjustment Due to Distribution.  If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.


(d)

Purchase Rights.  If, at any time when any Note is issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the Holder of this Note will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.


(e)

Notice of Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in this Section 1.6, the Borrower, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder of a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Borrower shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.


1.7

Intentionally Omitted.


1.8

Status as Shareholder.  Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby  shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive



6



certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms  of this Note.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted.  In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, the right to receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.4(g) to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default for the Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.

Certain Amounts.  Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note.  The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.


4.8

Purchase Agreement.  By its acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by the applicable terms of the Purchase Agreement.


4.9

Notice of Corporate Events.  Except as otherwise provided below, the Holder of this Note shall have no rights as a Holder of Common Stock unless and only to the extent that it converts this Note into Common Stock. The Borrower shall provide the Holder with prior notification of any meeting of the Borrower’s shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to shareholders).  In the event of any taking by the Borrower of a record of its shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation, reclassification or recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Borrower, the Borrower shall mail a notice to the Holder, at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date specified therein (or thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of the transaction or event, whichever is earlier), of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and a brief statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time.  The Borrower shall make a public announcement of any event requiring notification to the Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with the notification to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.9.


4.10

Remedies.  The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any



12



breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.


4.11

Severability.  If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note 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. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The Borrower covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Borrower from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this indenture, and the Borrower (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder.

HYDROPHI TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, Prostar Holdings Trust or its registered assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock (each such share, a "Warrant Share" and all such shares, the "Warrant Shares") set forth in Section 4 herein, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date and through and including November 23, 2020 (the "Expiration Date"), and subject to the following terms and conditions:

1.

Definitions.  As used in this Warrant, the following terms shall have the respective definitions set forth in this Section 1.

"Business Day" means any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day that is a federal legal holiday in the United States or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or other government action to close.

"Common Stock" means the common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, and any securities into which such common stock may hereafter be reclassified.

“Original Issue Date” means the Original Issue Date first set forth on the first page of this Warrant.

“New York Courts” means the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan.

"Trading Day" means (i) a day on which the Common Stock is traded on a Trading Market, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not quoted on a Trading Market, a day on which the Common Stock is quoted in the over-the-counter market as reported by the Pink Sheets, LLC (or any similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices); provided, that in the event that the Common Stock is not listed or quoted as set forth in (i) and (ii) hereof, then Trading Day shall mean a Business Day.

2.

Registration of Warrant.  The Company shall register this Warrant upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "Warrant Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

3.

Registration of Transfers.  The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein.  Upon any such registration or transfer, a new Warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new Warrant, a "New Warrant"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.

2




5.

Delivery of Warrant Shares.

(a)

To effect exercises hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant unless the aggregate Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant is being exercised.  Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice (in the form attached hereto) to the Company (with the attached Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its address for notice set forth herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, which shall be free of restrictive legends.  The Company shall, upon request of the Holder and subsequent to the date on which a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available, provided, that, the Company may, but will not be required to change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation.  A "Date of Exercise" means the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Company: (i) the Exercise Notice (with the Warrant Exercise Log attached to it), appropriately completed and duly signed and (ii) if such Holder is not utilizing the cashless exercise provisions set forth in this Warrant, payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.

(b)

If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

(c)

If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a), and if after such third Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, 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 which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (B) the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Date of Exercise and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

(d)

The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares.  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 Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.



3




6.

Charges, Taxes and Expenses.  Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder.  The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

7.

Replacement of Warrant.  If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested.  Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.  If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

8.

Reservation of Warrant Shares.  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

9.

Certain Adjustments.  The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

(a)

Stock Dividends and Splits.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(b)

Fundamental Transactions.  If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding there is a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the "Alternate Consideration").  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  At the Holder's option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall, either (1) issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof, or (2) purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request.  The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

(c)

Number of Warrant Shares.  Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 9, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(d)

Calculations.  All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(e)

Notice of Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.  Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company's Transfer Agent.

(f)

Notice of Corporate Events.  If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction (but only to the extent such disclosure would not result in the dissemination of material, non-public information to the Holder) at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.

10.

Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one of the following manners:

(a)

Cash Exercise.  The Holder may deliver immediately available funds; or



4




(b)

Cashless Exercise.  The Holder may notify the Company in an Exercise Notice of its election to utilize cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

X = Y [(A-B)/A]

where:

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.

A = the average of the closing prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.

B = the Exercise Price.

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued.

11.

Limitations on Exercise.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.9% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise).  For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant.  This restriction may not be waived, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, may not be amended by agreement of the parties.

12.

No Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant.  In lieu of any fractional shares which would, otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price of one Warrant Share as reported by the applicable Trading Market on the date of exercise.

13.

Notices.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.  The addresses for such communications shall be:  (i) if to the Company, to 3440 Oakcliff Road, Suite 100, Doraville, GA 30340, facsimile: [  ], (or such other address as the Company shall indicate in writing in accordance with this Section), or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with this Section.



5




14.

Warrant Agent.  The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant.  Upon 10 days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent.  Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act.  Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

15.

Miscellaneous.

(a)

This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.  This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and assigns.

(b)

All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York (except for matters governed by corporate law in the State of Delaware), without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of this Warrant and the transactions herein contemplated (“Proceedings”) (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the New York Courts.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any New York Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant 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.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, 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 Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby.  If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.

(c)

The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(d)

In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

(e)

Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall not, by reason of being a Holder, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Warrant Shares.
