SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Common Stock and

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the ___ day of February, 2016, by and between Rightscorp, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”) and those individuals and entities who sign and deliver an executed copy of this Agreement to the Issuer (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”), with reference to the following:

 

RECITALS

 

A. Purchasers desire to purchase from Issuer and Issuer desires to sell to Purchasers Issuer’s common stock, in the aggregate amount of at least $25,000 and up to $1,000,000 (the “Shares”), for a purchase price of $0.05 per Share, and Common Stock Purchase Warrants, each to purchase up to a certain number of shares of the common stock of the Issuer (the “Common Stock”) equal to 100% of the number of Shares purchased hereunder, in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (individually, the “Warrants” and collectively with the Shares, the “Securities”). The number of Shares each Purchaser has committed to purchase, and the amount of the purchase price thereof to be paid to the Issuer by the Purchaser (which will be equal to the number of Shares purchased multiplied by the purchase price of $0.05 per Share) (a “Commitment”) is listed on the signature page such Purchaser executes and delivers to the Issuer.

 

B. Issuer’s sale of the Securities to the Purchasers will be made in reliance upon the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder, and other applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and/or upon such other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as may be available with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

C. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Warrants and this Agreement, the Warrants shall be issued at the same time the Shares are issued to the Purchasers hereunder and shall be exercisable at $0.10 per share (the “Exercise Price”), for such number of shares equal to 100% of the number of Shares purchased hereunder (the “Exercisable Amount”)

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which shall be considered an integral part of this Agreement, the covenants and agreements set forth hereafter, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Purchasers and the Issuer hereby agree as follows

 

 

1. Purchase of the Shares and Warrants. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Warrants, the Purchasers shall purchase from the Issuer and the Issuer shall sell to the Purchasers the Securities.

 

2. Purchaser’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants. In order to induce the Issuer to sell and issue the Securities to the Purchaser under one or more exemptions from registration under the Securities Act, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Issuer, and covenants with the Issuer, that, as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date (except as otherwise set forth herein):

 

(a) (i) Such Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, and each of the other agreements entered into by the parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), and to purchase the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

 

(ii) The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Purchaser and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Purchaser's organizational documents (if any) and no further consent or authorization is required by the Purchaser.

 

(iii) The Transaction Documents have been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Purchaser.

 

(iv) The Transaction Documents, and each of them, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies.

 

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Purchaser and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated thereby will not conflict with or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound.

 

(c) The Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting the Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

 

 

(e) The Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities have been offered to it in direct communication between itself and the Issuer and not through any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over the television or radio or presented in any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

 

(f) The Purchaser acknowledges that the Issuer has given it access to all information relating to the Issuer’s business that it has requested. The Purchaser has reviewed all materials relating to the Issuer’s business, finance and operations which it has requested and the Purchaser has reviewed all of such materials as the Purchaser, in the Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion shall have deemed necessary or desirable. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the business, management and financial affairs of the Issuer with the Issuer’s management. Specifically but not by way of limitation, the Purchaser acknowledges the Issuer’s publicly available filings made periodically with the SEC, which filings are available at www.sec.gov and which filings the Purchaser acknowledges reviewing or having had the opportunity of reviewing.

 

(g) The Purchaser acknowledges that it has, by reason of its business and financial experience, such knowledge, sophistication and experience in financial and business matters and in making investment decisions of this type that it is capable of (i) evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and making an informed investment decision in connection therewith; (ii) protecting its own interest; and (iii) bearing the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify the Issuer and to hold the Issuer and the officers, directors and employees thereof harmless against all liability, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising by reason of or in connection with any misrepresentation or any breach of warranties of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement, or arising as a result of the sale or distribution of the Securities or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, by the undersigned in violation of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any other applicable law, either federal or state. This subscription and the representations and warranties contained herein shall be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the Purchaser

 

(h) The Purchaser is familiar with the definition of an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act and represents and warrants to the Issuer that it is (and was at such time it was offered the Securities) an accredited investor, on each Closing Date, and will be an accredited investor on each date which it exercises any of the Warrants. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange act. If the Purchaser is not a resident of the United States, the Purchaser is not a “U.S. person[s]” as that term is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

 

(i) Commencing on the date on which the Purchaser received a term sheet from the Issuer or any representative or agent of the Issuer (written or oral) setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder, until the date on which the Purchaser no longer owns any Shares and the Purchaser’s Warrants are no longer outstanding, the Purchaser has complied and will comply with the provisions of Section 9 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect to transactions involving the Common Stock. Commencing on the date on which the Purchaser received a term sheet from the Issuer or any representative or agent of the Issuer (written or oral) setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder, until the date on which the Purchaser no longer owns any Shares and the Purchaser’s Warrants are no longer outstanding, the Purchaser has not and will not sell the Issuer's Common Stock short or engage or engaged in any hedging transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock, either directly or indirectly, through its affiliates, principals, agents or advisors.

 

(j) The Purchaser is aware that the Shares and the Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Shares and the Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Issuer may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Issuer an opinion of counsel, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. Further, the Purchaser understands and acknowledges that any certificates evidencing the Shares, the Warrants or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED FOR SALE UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS (COLLECTIVELY, “SECURITIES LAWS”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED FOR SALE UNDER ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH SECURITIES LAWS.

 

(k) The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Shares, and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, may only be disposed of pursuant to either (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

 

(l) The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Issuer has neither filed a registration statement with the SEC or any state authorities nor agreed to do so, nor contemplates doing so in the future for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and in the absence of such a registration statement or exemption, the Purchaser may have to hold the Shares, the Warrants and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, indefinitely and may be unable to liquidate any of them in case of an emergency.

 

(m) The Purchaser is not and will not be required to be registered as a “dealer” under the Exchange Act, either as a result of its execution and performance of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

(n) The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that proceeds raised in connection with this Agreement will be used by Issuer in its sole discretion.

 

(o) The Purchaser understands that it is liable for its own tax liabilities and has obtained no tax advice from the Issuer in connection with the purchase of the Securities.

 

(p) The Purchaser will not pay or receive any finder’s fee or commission in respect of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(q) Purchaser hereby agrees and acknowledges that it has been informed of the following: (i) there are factors relating to the subsequent transfer of any of the Securities or shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants that could make the resale of such Securities or shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants difficult; (ii) there is no guarantee that the Purchaser will realize any gain from the purchase of the Securities; and (iii) the purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk and is subject to many uncertainties (including, without limitation, the risks disclosed in the Issuer’s filings with the SEC, including without limitation, under “Risk Factor” in the Issuer’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014). The Purchaser acknowledges that it understands that these risks and uncertainties may adversely affect the Issuer’s business, operating results and financial condition, and that the trading price for the Common Stock could decline substantially and Purchaser could lose all or part of its investment.

 

3. Issuer’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Issuer represents and warrants to the Purchasers that:

 

(a) The Issuer is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, and has the requisite corporate power and authorization to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted.

 

(b) (i) The Issuer has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, and each of the other agreements entered into by the parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and to issue the Shares and Warrants in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

(iii) The Transaction Documents have been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Issuer.

 

(iv) The Transaction Documents, and each of them, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies.

 

(c) The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Issuer and the consummation by the Issuer of the transactions contemplated thereby will not conflict with or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or under any organizational documents of the Issuer.

THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, ________________________ (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date of this Warrant and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the third anniversary of the date of this Warrant (the “Expiration Time”), but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase, from Rightscorp, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to ____________ shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a purchase price per share equal to $0.10 (the “Exercise Price”).

 

1. Exercise of Warrant.

 

(a) The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time after the date of this Warrant and before the Expiration Time by the surrender of this Warrant (in the event of the exercise of this entire Warrant) and submission of the Notice of Exercise (in accordance with the Notice provisions of the securities purchase agreement, dated ___ of February, 2016 among the Company and the Purchasers named therein) annexed hereto duly executed and upon payment of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares thereby purchased (by cash or by check or certified bank check payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the purchase price of the shares thereby purchased); whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to receive a stock certificate representing the number of Shares so purchased. The Company agrees that if at the time of the surrender of this Warrant and purchase of the Shares, the Holder shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant, the Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such holder as the record owner of such Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid.

 

Upon partial exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to receive from the Company, upon request of the Holder and return to the Company of this Warrant, a new Warrant in substantially identical form for the purchase of that number of Shares as to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised. Certificates for Shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder at the address set forth in the Exercise Notice within a reasonable time after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid.

 

 

2. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. This Warrant will only be exercisable for whole numbers of Shares.

 

3. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. The Holder shall pay all issue and transfer taxes and other incidental expenses in respect of the issuance of certificates for Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder of this Warrant.

 

4. No Rights as a Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.

 

5. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, and upon reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, the Company will make and deliver to the Holder, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant in substantially identical form and dated as of such cancellation.

 

6. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday in the United States or the State of New York, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding business day.

 

7. Merger, Reclassification, etc.

 

(a) Merger, etc. If at any time the Company proposes (A) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger, consolidation or stock issuance) that results in the transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the then outstanding voting power of the Company; or (B) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, then the Company shall give the Holder ten (10) days notice of the proposed effective date of the transaction. If, in the case of such acquisition of the Company, and the Warrant has not been exercised by the effective date of the transaction, this Warrant shall be exercisable into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or of the entity resulting from such merger or acquisition to which such Holder would have been entitled if immediately prior to such acquisition or merger, it had exercised this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 7(a) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

 

(b) Reclassification, etc. If the Company at any time shall, by subdivision, combination or reclassification of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter be to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, reclassification or other change. If the Shares are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of Shares, the Exercise Price under this Warrant shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in both cases by the ratio which the total number of Shares to be outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event.

 

 

(c) Cash Distributions. No adjustment on account of cash dividends or interest on the Shares or other securities purchasable hereunder will be made to the Exercise Price under this Warrant.

 

8. Restrictions on Transfer.

 

(a) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. In no event will the Holder make a disposition of this Warrant or the Shares unless and until, if requested by the Company, it shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that appropriate action necessary for compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) relating to sale of an unregistered security has been taken. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions imposed upon the transferability of the Shares shall terminate as to any particular Share when (i) such security shall have been sold without registration in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (ii) a letter shall have been issued to the Holder at its request by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission or a ruling shall have been issued to the Holder at its request by such Commission stating that no action shall be recommended by such staff or taken by such Commission, as the case may be, if such security is transferred without registration under the Securities Act in accordance with the conditions set forth in such letter or ruling and such letter or ruling specifies that no subsequent restrictions on transfer are required, or (iii) such security shall have been registered under the Securities Act and sold by the Holder thereof in accordance with such registration.
