FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, Knowledge
Capital Investment Group, a Texas general partnership, or its registered
assigns (hereinafter called the “Holder”) is entitled to
purchase from Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Co., a Utah corporation (the “Company”), the above
referenced number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common
Stock”), at the Warrant
Price referenced above, all subject to adjustment from time to time as described
herein. The exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to the provisions,
limitations and restrictions contained herein. This Warrant is issued pursuant
to the terms of that certain Preferred Stock Amendment and Warrant Issuance
Agreement dated as of November 29, 2004 (the “Amendment
Agreement”).
I. TERM AND
EXERCISE
1.1 Term. This Warrant is
exercisable in whole or in part (but not as to any fractional share of Common
Stock), from time to time, at any time after the first anniversary of the
Issuance Date and prior to 5:00 p.m. on the Expiration Date set forth
above.
1.2 Procedure for
Exercise of Warrant.
(a) The Holder may
exercise this Warrant by delivering the following to the principal office of the
Company in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof: (i) a
duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as
Exhibit
A
and (ii) this Warrant. If the Notice of Exercise delivered to the Company
indicates that the Holder has elected to exercise this Warrant by paying the
exercise price in cash, and if the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section
1.2(b)) is greater than the Warrant Price as of the day of exercise, then the
Company may elect to require the Holder to exercise this Warrant using the net
exercise method set forth in Section 1.2(b) if the Company provides written
notice to the Holder (in accordance with Section 4.1) within five
business days following its receipt of the Notice of Exercise (a “Company Net
Exercise Election”). If the Holder
has elected to pay the exercise price of this Warrant in cash and the Company
fails to make a timely Company Net Exercise Election, the Holder may, after such
fifth business day, deliver payment of the Warrant Price in cash, certified or
official bank check payable to the order of the Company, or wire transfer of
funds to the Company’s account (or any combination of any of the foregoing) in
the amount of the Warrant Price for each share being purchased.
(b) If the Fair Market
Value is greater than the Warrant Price as of the day of exercise, the Holder
may elect to receive, or if the Company makes a Company Net Exercise Election,
the Holder will receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional
consideration and subject to the provisions of Section 1.2(c), shares of
Common Stock equal to the value of the “spread” on the shares (or the portion
thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of
the Company in accordance with Section 4.1, together with
the Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder
hereof a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following
formula:
X= |
Y x (FMV -
WP) |
FMV |
Where:
X
|
=
|
the number
of shares of Common Stock to be Issued to the Holder pursuant to this net
exercise
|
Y
|
=
|
the number
of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a
portion of the Warrant is being exercised, that portion of the Warrant
requested to be exercised
|
FMV
|
=
|
the Fair
Market Value (as of the date of such calculation) of one share of Common
Stock
|
WP |
= |
the Warrant Price (as adjusted as of the date of such calculation) |
|
|
|
For purposes of
this Warrant, the “Fair Market
Value” of one share of
the Common Stock as of a particular date shall be determined as follows: (i) if
traded on a national securities exchange or through the Nasdaq Stock Market, the
Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the volume weighted average trading
price of the Common Stock on such exchange for the most recent five trading days
immediately prior to the date of exercise indicated in the Notice of Exercise;
(ii) if traded over-the-counter only and not on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the
Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid and asked
prices over the most recent five trading days immediately prior to the date of
exercise indicated in the Notice of Exercise; and (iii) if there is no active
public market, the Fair Market Value shall be the fair market value of the
Common Stock as of the date of exercise, as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company; provided, that any such
five trading day period referenced above shall be extended by the number of
trading days during such period on which trading in the Company’s Common Stock
is suspended by, or not traded on, the securities exchange, Nasdaq Stock Market
or over-the-counter market on which the Common Stock is then listed or
traded.
(c) If either the
Holder or the Company elects that this Warrant will be exercised using the net
exercise method set forth in Section 1.2(b), then the Company, at its
option, may further elect, in connection with such net exercise, to (i) issue to
the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable pursuant
to Section 1.2(b) or (ii) pay to the Holder a cash amount equal to the Fair
Market Value of the number of shares of Common Stock that otherwise would be
issuable pursuant to Section 1.2(b) (the “Cash
Spread”).
1.3 Effective Date
of Exercise; Delivery of Certificate.
(a) In the event of
any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or
certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased, registered in the name
of the Holder or such other name or names as may be designated by the Holder if
otherwise permitted under this Warrant, together with any other securities or
other property which the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this
Warrant (including, without limitation, the Cash Spread if the Company has
elected to pay to the Holder the Cash Spread pursuant to Section 1.2(c)), shall be
delivered to the Holder hereof, at the Company’s expense, within a reasonable
time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised;
and, unless this Warrant has expired or has been exercised in full, a new
Warrant representing the number of shares (except a remaining fractional share),
if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised
shall also be issued to the Holder hereof.
(b) The person in
whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued upon exercise of
this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of
record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and
payment of the Warrant Price was received by the Company, irrespective of the
date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender
and payment is on a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are
closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at
the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer
books are open.
1.4 Fractional
Shares. This Warrant may
not be exercised for fractional shares, and no fractional share of any class or
series of the Company’s capital stock shall be issued upon exercise of the
Warrant.
II. ADJUSTMENTS
2.1 Subdivision or
Combination of Shares. In case the
Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater
number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of shares obtainable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. Conversely, in
case the outstanding Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of shares
obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately
decreased.
2.2 Dividends in
Common Stock, Other Stock or Property. If at any time or from time to time
the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the
time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become
entitled to receive, without payment therefor:
(a) Common Stock,
options (other than options to which Section 2.4 is applicable) or any shares or
other securities which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for,
purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other
distribution;
(b) any cash paid or
payable other than as a regular cash dividend; or
(c) Common Stock or
additional shares or other securities or property (including cash) by way of
spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate
rearrangement (other than Common Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in
respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 2.1 above) and
additional shares, other securities or property issued in connection with a
Change (as defined below) (which shall be covered by the terms of Section
2.3
below),
then and in each
such case, the Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be
entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock
receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration
therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash
in the cases referred to in clause (b) above and this clause (c)) which such
Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder
of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock
received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock
and other securities and property.
2.3 Reorganization,
Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger and Sale. If any
recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the share capital of the
Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation
or other entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of its shares and/or
assets or other transaction (including, without limitation, a sale of
substantially all of its assets followed by a liquidation) shall be effected in
such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive shares,
securities or other assets or property (a “Change”), then, as a condition of
such Change, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby
the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in
lieu of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and
receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby) such shares,
securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect
to or in exchange for the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock which
such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder exercised this
Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Change. The Company or its
successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities
or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to give effect to the adjustments
provided for in this Article II including, without limitation, adjustments to
the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon
exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.3 shall similarly
apply to successive Changes. The Company will
not effect any Change unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor
corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such Change shall assume
by written instrument the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of
stock, securities or assets, other than cash, as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase.
2.4 Rights
Offering. If, at any time or from time to time prior to the full exercise of
this Warrant, the Company shall offer to all holders of Common Stock any rights,
options or warrants to acquire additional shares of capital stock of the
Company, then the Holder will be entitled to receive such rights, options or
warrants on the same terms they are offered to all holders of Common Stock as if
the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the record
date for the offering of such rights, options or warrants.
2.5 Notice of
Adjustment. Upon any
adjustment of the Warrant Price, then and in each such case the Company shall
give written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to
the Holder at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company,
which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and
the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares obtainable upon
exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
2.6 Other
Notices. In case at any
time:
(a) the Company shall
declare any cash dividend or distribution to which Section 2.2 would be
applicable;
(b) the Company shall
authorize the granting or issuance to the holders of its Common Stock of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or
other rights;
(c) the Company
obtains knowledge of any offer to purchase (including any tender offer) any
shares of any class of its stock from the Company or the holders of such
shares;
(d) there shall be any
subdivision or combination of the Common Stock;
(e) there shall be any
recapitalization, reorganization or reclassification of the share capital of the
Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or
substantially all of its assets to, another corporation or other entity;
or
(f) there shall be a
voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Company;
then, in any one
or more of said cases, the Company shall give, by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address of such Holder determined in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 (i) at least 10 days’ prior
written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a
record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription or
purchase rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such
recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, (ii) in the case of any such
recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, at least 10 days’ prior written notice
of the date when the same shall take place, and (iii) promptly upon obtaining
knowledge of any such offer to purchase shares of any class of its stock. Such
notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (i) shall also specify, in the
case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on
which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, such notice in
accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) shall also specify the date on which
the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for
securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up, as the case may be, and such notice in accordance with the foregoing
clause (iii) shall also specify in reasonable detail the terms of the offer to
purchase.
III. OWNERSHIP AND
TRANSFER
3.1 Ownership of
This Warrant. The Company may
deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is registered as the holder
and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon
made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary until presentation of this Warrant for
registration of any permitted transfers.
3.2 Rights of
Shareholder. This Warrant shall not entitle its holder to any of the rights
of a shareholder of the Company until the Warrant shall have been exercised and
the shares of Common Stock or other securities to which Holder is entitled
pursuant to the exercise hereof shall have been issued.
3.3 Replacement of
Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and (a) in the case
of loss, theft, or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or (b) in the case of
mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall
execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and
amount. The Holder shall reimburse the Company for all reasonable expenses
incidental to replacement of this Warrant.
3.4 Transfer of
Warrant. Subject to
Section 3.5 below, the
Warrant shall be freely transferable, subject to compliance with all applicable
laws, including, but not limited to, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”). If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any
transfer of this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be registered under the Act,
the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the
Holder of this Warrant furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel
(which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, provided, that any
law firm having at least 100 lawyers, including associates and partners, shall
be deemed acceptable) to the effect that such transfer is exempt from or not
subject to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act. Transfer of
this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, in accordance with
the foregoing provisions, shall be registered on the books of the Company to be
maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Company referred to in Section 1.2 or the office or
agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 4.1, together with a
written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto
duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay
any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender
and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the
denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the
assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned,
and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Following a transfer that complies
with the requirements of this Section 3.4, the Warrant may
be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock
regardless of whether the Company issued or registered a new Warrant on the
books of the Company.
3.5 Right of First
Refusal. Subject
to the terms and conditions specified in this Article III, the Holder hereby
grants to the Company a right of first refusal (the “Right of First Refusal”)
with respect to any future sale, transfer or assignment by the Holder of this
Warrant and the rights granted hereunder, in whole or in part. Each time the
Holder proposes to offer this Warrant and the rights granted hereunder, in whole
or in part, for sale, transfer or assignment (the “Offered Warrant”), the Holder
will first make an offering of the Offered Warrant to the Company in accordance
with the following provisions:
(a) Notice. The Holder will
deliver notice (the “Offer
Notice”) to the Company
stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer the Offered Warrant, and (ii) the
price and terms upon which it proposes to offer the Offered Warrant;
and
(b) Mechanics. Within 20 days
after its receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Election
Period”), the Company
may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the
Offer Notice, the Offered Warrant. If the Company elects to exercise its Right
of First Refusal, the parties shall consummate the sale of the Offered Warrant
within 20 days after the Company received the Offer Notice. In the event that
the Company does not elect to purchase or obtain the Offered Warrant as
specified in the Offer Notice within the Election Period, the Holder may, during
the 90 calendar days following the expiration of the Election Period, sell the
Offered Warrant to any person or persons at a price not less than 90% of the
price, and upon terms no more favorable than those specified in the Offer
Notice. If the Holder does not sell the Offered Warrant within such 90-calendar
day period, then the right of first offer provided pursuant to this Section
3.5 will be deemed to
be revived and the Offered Warrant will not be offered unless again reoffered to
the Company in accordance with this Section 3.5. If, on the other
hand, the Holder does sell the Offered Warrant to any person or persons within
such 90-calendar day period and as otherwise provided in this Section
3.5, then the Company
shall issue to such person or persons a new Warrant that shall not be subject to
this Section 3.5.
