THIS
ORDINARY SHARES PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies
that, for value received, _____________ or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled,
upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions
hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise
Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the five year
anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”)
but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Rosetta Genomics Ltd., a
company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), up to
______ (the “Warrant
Shares”) of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, NIS 0.01 par value per share
(the “Ordinary
Shares”) at the Exercise Price per Ordinary Share as set forth in Section
2(b) below.
Section
1. Definitions. Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in
that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”),
dated February 16, 2011, among the Company and the purchasers signatory
thereto.
Section
2. Exercise.
a) Exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in
part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or
before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or
agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered
Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a
duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto.
Within three (3) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the
Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in
the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a
United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section
2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the
Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full,
in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for
cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of
Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant
resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares
available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of
Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number
of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall
maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of
such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of
Exercise Form within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such
notice. The Holder
and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by
reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion
of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for
purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the
face hereof.
1
b) Exercise
Price. The exercise price per share of the Ordinary Shares
under this Warrant shall be $0.80, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless
Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof (i) there is no
effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained
therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder or
(ii) all of the Warrant Shares are not then registered for resale by Holder into
the market at market prices from time to time on an effective registration
statement for use on a continuous basis (or the prospectus contained therein is
not available for use), then this Warrant may only be exercised, in whole or in
part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall
be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) =
|
the
VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder
elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set
forth in the applicable Notice of
Exercise;
|
(B) =
|
the
Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder;
and
|
(X) =
|
the
number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were
by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless
exercise.
|
“VWAP” means, for any
date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies:
(a) if the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the
daily volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for such date (or the
nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares are
then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from
9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time), (b) if
the OTC Bulletin Board is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average
price of the Ordinary Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on
the OTC Bulletin Board, (c) if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed or quoted
for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Ordinary Shares are
then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a
similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices),
the most recent bid price per share of the Ordinary Shares so reported, or
(d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Ordinary Shares
as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Company
and reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority in interest of the
Securities then outstanding, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the
Company.
2
d) Mechanics of
Exercise.
i.
Delivery of Certificates
Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder
shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the
account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through
its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company
is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective
registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or
resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised
via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address
specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3)
Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice
of Exercise, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (C) payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by cashless exercise, if
permitted) (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on
the first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to the
Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and
Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to
have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date
the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise
Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid
by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of
such shares, having been paid.
ii. Delivery of New Warrants
Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in
part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this
Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by
this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with
this Warrant.
iii. Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to
transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the
Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date,
then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
3
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to
cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the
certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or
before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is
required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Ordinary Shares 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 (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the
Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
Ordinary Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1)
the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the
Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the
sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) 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 (in which case
such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of
Ordinary Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with
its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the
Holder purchases Ordinary Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to
cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Ordinary Shares with an
aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under
clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required
to pay the Holder $1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
be required to make the payments set forth herein in the case of uncertificated
Warrant Shares if the Holder fails to timely file a request with The Depository
Trust Company to receive such uncertificated Warrant Shares. The
Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable
to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company,
evidence of the amount of such loss. 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 Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v.
No Fractional
Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would
otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its
election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an
amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to
the next whole share.
vi. Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be
made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other
incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which
taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be
issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by
the Holder; provided, however, that in the
event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the
name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be
accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder
and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum
sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental
thereto.
4
vii. Closing of
Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or
records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.
e)
Xxxxxx’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any
exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any
portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that
after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the
applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or
any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the
foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the
Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being
made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares which would be issuable
upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or
conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of
the Company (including, without limitation, any other Ordinary Share
Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the
limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of
this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not
representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules
required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent
that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by
the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of
a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether
this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder
together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and
the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such
determination and shall have no liability for exercises of the Warrant that are
not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In
addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section
2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, a Holder may
rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (A) the
Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as
the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a
more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth
the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral
request of a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm
orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then
outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall
be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of
the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the
date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was
reported. The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 4.9% of the number of shares of the Ordinary Shares
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less
than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of
shares of the Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the
issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and
the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any such
increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day
after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only be effective with
respect to such Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be
construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with
the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof)
which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership
Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or
desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained
in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this
Warrant.

Section
3. Certain
Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding:
(i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on
its Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable
in Ordinary Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any
Ordinary Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii)
subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii)
combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Ordinary Shares
into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of
the Ordinary Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each
case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any)
outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be
the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately
adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain
unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall
become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become
effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or re-classification.
6
b)
[RESERVED]
c) Subsequent Rights
Offerings. In lieu of any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a)
above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Ordinary Share
Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property
pro rata to the record holders of Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”),
then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such
Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have
acquired if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon
complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise
hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
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 Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant,
issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the
Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the
Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not
be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial
ownership of such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such
extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the
Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the
Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
d) Pro Rata
Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Ordinary Shares (and not to
the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash
dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then
in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a
fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record
date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such
record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the
portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to
one (1) outstanding share of the Ordinary Shares as determined by the Board of
Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be
described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or
evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable
to one (1) share of Ordinary Shares. Such adjustment shall be made
whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately
after the record date mentioned above.
7
e) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the
Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the
Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its
assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or
indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company
or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares are
permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding
Ordinary Shares, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more
related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or
recapitalization of the Ordinary Shares or any compulsory share exchange
pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares are effectively converted into or
exchanged for other securities, cash or property or (v) the Company, directly or
indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share
purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation,
a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with
another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person acquires more than
50% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (not including any Ordinary Shares held
by the other Person or other Persons or group making or party to, or associated
or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share
purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the
Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such
Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any
limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of
Ordinary Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if
it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by
a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any
limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). 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 (1) share of
Ordinary Shares 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 Ordinary Shares 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event
of a Fundamental Transaction that is (A) approved by the Board of Directors of
the Company and (B) is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3
transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, or (3) a
Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national
securities exchange, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below)
shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or
within 30 days after, the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, but
subject, however, to the provisions of the Israeli Companies law, 1999, with
respect to “Distributions” (as defined therein), purchase this Warrant from the
Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes
Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value”
means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing
Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”)
determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate
corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between
the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction
and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of
100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as
of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in
such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash,
if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in
such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time
between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction and the Termination Date. The Company shall cause any
successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the
survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to
assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and
the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable
delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the
Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the
Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form
and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of
shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity)
equivalent to the Ordinary Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of
this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant)
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies
the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into
account the relative value of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Fundamental
Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares
of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the
economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such
Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental
Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so
that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of
this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and
power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company
under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as
if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
8
f) Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3,
the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given
date shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury
shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
g)
Notice to
Holder.
i.
Adjustment to
Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any
provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a
notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting
adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment.
9
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by
Xxxxxx. If during the term in which this Warrant may be exercised (A) the
Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on
the Ordinary Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash
dividend on or a redemption of the Ordinary Shares, (C) the Company shall
authorize the granting to all holders of the Ordinary Shares rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any
rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in
connection with any reclassification of the Ordinary Shares, any consolidation
or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange
whereby the Ordinary Shares are converted into other securities, cash or
property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in
each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last
address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20
calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter
specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for
the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or
if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Ordinary
Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption,
rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is
expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected
that holders of the Ordinary Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange
their shares of the Ordinary Shares for securities, cash or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect
therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate
action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that
any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public
information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall
simultaneously disclose such information in compliance with applicable
securities laws. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this
Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective
date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly
set forth herein.

Section
4. Transfer of
Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject
to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights
hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are
transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written
assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached 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, as
applicable, and in the denomination or denominations 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. The Warrant, if properly assigned in
accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of
Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants. This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued,
signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance
with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or
combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated
the initial issuance date set forth on the first page of this Warrant and shall
be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares
issuable pursuant thereto and the Warrant number.
c) Warrant Register. 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.
d) Understandings or
Arrangements. Such Holder is acquiring this Warrant as principal for its
own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any
other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Warrant (this
representation and warranty not limiting such Holder’s right to sell the Warrant
pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Holder is acquiring this
Warrant hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Shareholder
Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a shareholder of the Company
prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).
11
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or
Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to
the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall
not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of
such Warrant or share certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or share certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or share certificate.
c) 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 not
be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, for
calculating Business Days with respect to any action to be taken by the Company
hereunder or in connection with the Warrant, Friday after 1:00 p.m. (New York
City time) shall not be considered a Business Day.
d) Authorized
Shares.
The
Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares a sufficient number of
shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants
that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its
officers who are charged with the duty of executing share certificates to
execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will
take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant
Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law
or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the
Ordinary Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant
Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with
such issue).
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not
by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of
incorporation 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 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 actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in
par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be,
necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.
12
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the
Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents
thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the
Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The
Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise,
will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities
laws.
g) Nonwaiver and
Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to
exercise any right hereunder on the part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver
of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or
remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the
Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with
any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the
Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient
to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the
Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing
any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices. Any
notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered
to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice
provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation of
Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any
affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder,
shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any
Ordinary Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Remedies. The
Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law,
including recovery of damages, will be entitled to seek specific performance of
its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary
damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a
breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and
not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy
at law would be adequate.
13
k) Successors and
Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant
and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the
successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this
Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of
this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant
Shares.
l) Amendment. This
Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.
m) Severability. Wherever
possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of
this Warrant.
n) Headings. The
headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and
shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
