|
WARRANT
TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
of
UNITED
HERITAGE CORPORATION
This
certifies that, for value received, XXXXXXXXX CAPITAL LIMITED, or its registered
assigns (the “Holder”)
is
entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from United Heritage
Corporation, a Utah corporation (the “Company”),
up to
1,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”),
as
constituted on the date hereof (the “Warrant
Issue Date”),
upon
surrender hereof, at the principal office of the Company referred to below,
with
the Notice of Exercise form annexed hereto duly executed, and simultaneous
payment therefor in lawful money of the United States or otherwise as
hereinafter provided, at the Exercise Price set forth in Section 2 below. The
number and character of such shares of Common Stock and the Exercise Price
are
subject to adjustment as provided herein. The term “Warrant” as used herein
shall include this Warrant and any warrants delivered in substitution or
exchange therefor as provided herein. This Warrant is being issued pursuant
to
the Consulting Agreement, dated January 15, 2008, by and between the Company
and
the Holder.
1. Term
of Warrant. Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this Warrant shall be exercisable,
in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the Warrant Issue Date and
ending at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the four (4) year anniversary
of
the Warrant Issue Date (the “Term”),
and
shall be void thereafter.
2. Exercise
Price.
The
exercise price at which this Warrant may be exercised shall be $1.05 per share
of Common Stock (the “Exercise
Price”),
as
such Exercise Price may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 11
hereof.
7
3. Vesting
and Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Exercisability.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Warrant will only become
exercisable (“Vest”) when the Company has obtained shareholder approval of this
Warrant in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and the rules
and
regulations of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system
upon which the Company’s Common Stock is then traded.
(b) Exercise
of Warrant.
(i) Method
of Exercise.
Subject
to section 3(a) above, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant are
exercisable by the Holder in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to
time, during the Term, by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of
Exercise annexed hereto duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder,
at
the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address
of
the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), upon payment in cash by
wire
transfer or by check acceptable to the Company of the purchase price of the
shares to be purchased.
(ii) Net
Issue Exercise. Notwithstanding
any provisions herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one share
of
Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation
as
set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may
elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant
(or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice
of
Exercise and notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue
to
the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following
formula:
X
=
|
Y (A-B)
|
|||
A
|
||||
Where
|
X
|
=
|
The
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder
|
|
Y
|
=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant or,
if
only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of
this
Warrant being canceled (at the date of such
calculation)
|
||
A
|
=
|
the
fair market value of one share of the Common Stock (at the date of
such
calculation)
|
||
B
|
=
|
Exercise
Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation).
|
For
purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of Common
Stock shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith;
provided, however, that where there exists a public market for the Common Stock
at the time of such exercise, the fair market value of one share of Common
Stock
shall be the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock
quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the last reported sale price
of
the Common Stock or the closing price quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market or
on
any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable,
as
reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the five (5) trading days prior to the date
of
the Company’s receipt of this Warrant and delivery of the properly endorsed
Notice of Exercise and notice of Holder’s election to exercise without
cash.
8
(c) Issuance
of Shares.
This
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close
of
business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the
person entitled to receive the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall
be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the
close of business on such date. As promptly as practicable on or after such
date
and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company at its expense
shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same
a
certificate or certificates for the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
such
exercise. In the event that this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company
at
its expense will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor exercisable
for
the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may then be
exercised.
4. No
Fractional Shares or Scrip. No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional share to which the
Holder would otherwise be entitled (after aggregating all shares that are being
issued upon such exercise), the Company shall make a cash payment equal to
the
Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
5. Replacement
of Warrant. On
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or
destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory
in
form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender
and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute
and
deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and
amount.
6. Rights
of Stockholders. Subject
to Sections 9 and 11 of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote
or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the Warrant Shares or any other
securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise
hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to
confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the
Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter
submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof or to give or withhold consent
to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock,
reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no par
value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice
of
meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until
this
Warrant shall have been exercised as provided herein.
7. Transfer
of Warrant.
(a) Warrant
Register. The
Company will maintain a register (the “Warrant
Register”)
containing the names and addresses of the Holder or Holders. Any Holder of
this
Warrant or any portion thereof may change its address as shown on the Warrant
Register by written notice to the Company requesting such change. Any notice
or
written communication required or permitted to be given to the Holder may be
delivered or given by mail to such Holder as shown on the Warrant Register
and
at the address shown on the Warrant Register. Until this Warrant is transferred
on the Warrant Register of the Company, the Company may treat the Holder as
shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all
purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
9
(b) Warrant
Agent. The
Company may, by written notice to the Holder, appoint an agent for the purpose
of maintaining the Warrant Register referred to in Section 7(a) above, issuing
the Warrant Shares or other securities then issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant, exchanging this Warrant, replacing this Warrant, or any or all of
the
foregoing (the “Warrant
Agent”).
Thereafter, any such registration, issuance, exchange or replacement, as the
case may be, shall be made at the office of the Warrant Agent.
(c) Transferability
and Negotiability of Warrant. This
Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without
compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws by the
transferor and the transferee (including the delivery of investment
representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, if such are requested by the Company). Subject to the provisions of
this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Act”),
title
to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by the Holder executing
the
Assignment Form annexed hereto) and delivery in the same manner as a negotiable
instrument transferable by endorsement and delivery.
(d) Exchange
of Warrant Upon a Transfer. Upon
surrender of this Warrant for exchange, properly endorsed on the Assignment
Form
and subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with
the Act and with the limitations on assignments and transfers contained in
this
Section 7, the Company at its expense shall issue to or on the order of the
Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or
as
the Holder (on payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may
direct, for the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof.
(e) Compliance
with Securities Laws.
(i) The
Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant
and
the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired for
investment purposes, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise
dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof
except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Act or
any
state securities laws.
(ii) This
Warrant and all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise hereof or conversion thereof
shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form
(in addition to any legend required by state securities laws):
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE
SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT THERETO UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE LAWS
OR
AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE
LAWS
OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION
IS
NOT REQUIRED.
10
8. Reservation
of Stock. The
Company covenants that during the Term, the Company will reserve from its
authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide
for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and,
from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Certificate or
Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate”)
to
provide sufficient reserves of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant. The Company further covenants that all Warrant Shares that may be
issued upon the exercise of rights represented by this Warrant and payment
of
the Exercise Price, all as set forth herein will be duly and validly authorized
and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any
transfer occurring contemporaneously therewith). The Company agrees that its
issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who
are
charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue
the
necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this
Warrant.
9. Notices.
(a) Whenever
the Exercise Price or the shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted
pursuant to Section 11 hereof, the Company shall issue a certificate signed
by
its Chief Financial Officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event
requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which
such
adjustment was calculated, and the Exercise Price and the shares purchasable
hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause a copy of
such
certificate to be mailed (by first-class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder
of
this Warrant.
(b) In
case:
(i) the
Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock
or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for
the
purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or
any
right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any
other
securities, or to receive any other right, or
(ii) of
any
capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital
stock
of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
corporation or entity, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company to another corporation or entity, or
(iii) of
any
voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Company,

and
in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder
or
Holders a notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the date on which a record
is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and
stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or
(B)
the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
con-veyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the
time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock
(or such stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such
other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least

(a) Merger,
Sale of Assets, etc.
If at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired there shall be (i)
a
reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or
subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the
Company is not the surviving entity, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the
Company’s properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any
other corporation or other entity, then, as a part of such reorganization,
merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so
that
the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise
of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the
Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities
or property of the successor corporation or other entity resulting from such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer that a holder
of
the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled
to
receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if
this
Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger,
consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided
in this Section 11. The foregoing provision of this Section 11(a) shall
similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales
and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation or other
entity that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If
the
per-share consideration payable to the Holder for shares in connection with
any
such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then
the
fair market value of such consideration shall be determined in accordance with
Section 3(b)(ii). In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good
faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of
the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of
the
Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant
shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation
to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise
of
this Warrant.
12
(b) Reclassification,
etc.
If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired,
by
reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change any of the securities
as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a
different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant
shall
thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities
as
would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the
securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant
immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Exercise
Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further
adjustment as provided in this Section 11.
(c) Split,
Subdivision or Combination of Shares.
If the
Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall
split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under
this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the same class,
the
Exercise Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the
case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of
a
combination and the number of such securities shall be proportionately increased
in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately decreased in the case
of a combination.
(d) Adjustments
for Dividends in Stock or other Securities or Property.
If
while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, the holders of the
securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist (including
without limitation securities into which such securities may be converted)
at
the time shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the
determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive,
without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or
property (other than cash) of the Company by way of dividend, then and in each
case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the
number of shares of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant,
and
without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such
other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash)
of
the Company that such holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it
been
the holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant
(or upon such conversion) on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the
period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained
such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid
during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such
period by the provisions of this Section 11.
(e) Calculations.
All
calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the nearest four decimal
points.
(f) No
Impairment.
The
Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through reorganization,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the
terms
of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying
out
of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary
or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against
impairment.
13
12. Saturdays,
Sundays and Holidays.
If the
last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any
right granted herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then
(notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary) such action may be taken
or
such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is not a Saturday,
Sunday or legal holiday.
13. Call
Provision.
If,
after the Warrant Issue Date and the date when all the shares underlying this
Warrant Vest, the closing price of the Common Stock for each of 20 consecutive
trading days (the “Measurement
Period”,
which
20 consecutive trading day period shall not have commenced prior to the Warrant
Issue Date) equals or exceeds 214.29% of the then Exercise Price (the
“Threshold
Price”),
at
any time during a calendar month commencing after December 31, 2007, the Company
shall have the right, within one trading day following the end of such
Measurement Period, to call for cancellation all or any portion of this Warrant
for which a Notice of Exercise has not yet been delivered by the Holder (such
right, a “Call”).
To
exercise this right, the Company shall deliver to the Holder an irrevocable
written notice (a “Call
Notice”),
indicating therein the portion of the unexercised portion of this Warrant to
which such notice applies, along with cash consideration equal to $.001 for
each
Warrant Share subject to the Call. Any portion of this Warrant subject to such
Call Notice for which a Notice of Exercise shall not have been received by
the
Call Date will be cancelled at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the tenth
trading day after the date the Call Notice is received by the Holder (such
date
and time, the “Call
Date”).
Any
unexercised portion of this Warrant to which the Call Notice does not pertain
will be unaffected by such Call Notice. In furtherance thereof, the Company
covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Exercise with respect
to
Warrant Shares subject to a Call Notice that are tendered through 5:00 p.m.
(Eastern Standard Time) on the Call Date. The parties agree that any Notice
of
Exercise delivered following a Call Notice which Calls less than all the
Warrants shall first reduce to zero the number of Warrant Shares subject to
such
Call Notice prior to reducing the remaining Warrant Shares available for
purchase under this Warrant. For example, if (x) this Warrant then permits
the
Holder to acquire 100 Warrant Shares, (y) a Call Notice pertains to 75 Warrant
Shares, and (z) prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the Call Date
the
Holder tenders a Notice of Exercise in respect of 50 Warrant Shares, then (1)
on
the Call Date the right under this Warrant to acquire 25 Warrant Shares will
be
automatically cancelled, (2) the Company, in the time and manner required under
this Warrant, will have issued and delivered to the Holder 50 Warrant Shares
in
respect of the exercises following receipt of the Call Notice, and (3) the
Holder may, until the last day of the Term, exercise this Warrant for 25 Warrant
Shares (subject to adjustment as herein provided and subject to subsequent
Call
Notices). Subject again to the provisions of this Section 2(f), the Company
may
deliver subsequent Call Notices for any portion of this Warrant for which the
Holder shall not have delivered a Notice of Exercise.
14. Governing
Law.
This
Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely
within such State, without regard to the conflicts of law principles of such
State.
14
15. Binding
Effect.
The
terms of this Warrant shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Company and the Holder and their respective successors and assigns.
