(iii) a Series B Warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock for a "stated amount" equal to an investor's pro rata share of $8 million based on the aggregate purchase price paid by such investor for Units in the Offering compared to the aggregate purchase price paid by all investors for Units in this offering, for the lower of a fixed price of $0.50 per share or a floating price tied to a discounted volume weighted average market price determined in connection with future exercise, exercisable for a period of one year after issuance, subject to extension;

In addition, an investor who, together with certain "attribution parties," would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the closing of this Offering as a result of its purchase of Units will receive shares of Common Stock in an amount up to such 4.99% cap and a Series E Warrant to purchase the balance of the shares of Common Stock the investor would have received at closing but for the 4.99% cap at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share which will expire on April 12, 2015, subject to extension.
At the closing, the Offering is expected to provide gross proceeds to RGS Energy of approximately $3.5 million.
