Form
of Warrant to Purchase Common Stock
of
THIS
CERTIFIES that BRIDGEPOINTE
MASTER FUND LTD.,
a
Cayman Islands Exempted Company or any subsequent holder hereof ("Holder")
has
the right to purchase from
ALTERNATIVE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC.
a
Florida corporation, (the "Company"), up to (______) fully paid and
nonassessable shares, of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share
("Common Stock"), subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price equal
to
the Exercise Price as defined in Section 3 below, at any time during the Term
(as defined below).
Holder
agrees with the Company that this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock of the
Company (this “Warrant” or this “Agreement”) is issued and all rights hereunder
shall be held subject to all of the conditions, limitations and provisions
set
forth herein.
1. Date
of Issuance and Term.
This
Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on June 30, 2007 (“Date of Issuance”). The
term of this Warrant begins on the Date of Issuance and ends at 5:00 p.m.,
New
York City time, on the date that is seven (7) years after the Date of Issuance
(the “Term”). This Warrant was issued in conjunction with1
the
issuance of senior secured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) of the
Company to the Holder pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement
(“Securities Purchase Agreement”) and the Registration Rights Agreement
(“Registration Rights Agreement”) by and between the Company and Holder dated on
or about June 30, 2007.
1
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the applicable portion of this Warrant shall
not be exercisable during any time that, and only to the extent that, the number
of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder upon such Exercise (as defined
in Section 2(a)), when added to the number of shares of Common Stock, if any,
that the Holder otherwise beneficially owns (outside of this Warrant, and not
including any other warrants or securities of Holder’s having a provision
substantially similar to this paragraph) at the time of such Exercise, would
exceed 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder, as determined
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
“Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall be
conclusively satisfied if the applicable Exercise Notice includes a signed
representation by the Holder that the issuance of the shares in such Exercise
Notice will not violate the Limitation, and the Company shall not be entitled
to
require additional documentation of such satisfaction.
Notwithstanding
the above, in the event that the Company receives any purchase, tender or
exchange offer or any offer to enter into a merger with another entity whereby
the Company shall not be the surviving entity (an “Offer”), then the Maximum
Percentage shall be increased (but not decreased) to 9.99%, and “4.99%” shall be
automatically revised immediately after such offer to read “9.99%” each place it
occurs in this Section 1. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of
this
Section 1 may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon
not
less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, to change the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock upon Exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation shall continue to apply. Upon such a change by a Holder
of
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such 9.99%
limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived by
such Holder. The limitations on Exercise set forth in this subsection are
referred to as the “Beneficial Ownership Limitations.” The provisions of this
paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in
strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1 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.
Notwithstanding
the above, Holder shall retain the option to either Exercise or not Exercise
its
option(s) to acquire Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof after an Offer,
and, in the event of a cash Exercise following a tender offer, the Exercise
Price per share that would otherwise be due shall instead be offset against
the
tender price per share to be received by the Holder, provided, however, that
in
the event a tender offer is not completed, Holder, at its option may either
(i)
complete any Exercise that was initiated after the Offer by promptly paying
to
the Company the Exercise Price that would have been due at the time the Warrant
was Exercised, or (ii) cancel such Exercise by providing written notice to
the
Company, in which case such Exercise shall be deemed void ad
initio.
2
Maximum
Exercise of Rights.
In the
event the Holder notifies the Company that the Exercise of the rights described
herein would result in the issuance of an amount of Common Stock of the Company
that would exceed the maximum amount that may be issued to a Holder calculated
in the manner described above, then the issuance of such additional shares
of
Common Stock of the Company to such Holder will be deferred in whole or in
part
until such time as such Holder is able to beneficially own such Common Stock
without exceeding the maximum amount calculated in the manner described herein.
The determination of when such Common Stock may be issued shall be made by
each
Holder as to only such Holder.
2. Exercise.
(a)
Manner of Exercise. During
the Term, this
Warrant may be Exercised as to all or any lesser number of full shares of Common
Stock covered hereby (the “Warrant Shares” or the “Shares”) upon surrender of
this Warrant, with the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit
A
(the
“Exercise Form”) duly completed and executed, together with the full Exercise
Price (as defined below, which may be satisfied by either a Cash Exercise or
a
Cashless Exercise, as each is defined below) for each share of Common Stock
as
to which this Warrant is Exercised, at the office of the Company, Alternative
Construction Company, Inc.; 0000 Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, Telephone:
(000) 000-0000, Fax: (000) 000-0000 or at such other office or agency as the
Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail, with an advance copy of
the
Exercise Form sent to the Company and its transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) by
facsimile (such surrender and payment of the Exercise Price hereinafter called
the "Exercise” of this Warrant).
(b)
Date of Exercise. The
"Date
of Exercise" of the Warrant shall be defined as the date that the Exercise
Form
attached hereto as Exhibit A, completed and executed, is sent by facsimile
to
the Company together with the full Exercise Price, provided that the original
Warrant and Exercise Form are received by the Company and the Exercise Price
is
satisfied, each as soon as practicable thereafter. Alternatively, the Date
of
Exercise shall be defined as the date the original Exercise Form is received
by
the Company, if Holder has not sent advance notice by facsimile. Upon
delivery of the Exercise Form to the Company by facsimile or otherwise, the
Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder
of
record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been
exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the
Holder's DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing
such
Warrant Shares as the case may be.
(c)
Delivery of Common Stock Upon Exercise.
By not
later than the date that is three (3) business days after any Date of Exercise
(the "DELIVERY DEADLINE"), the Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its
Transfer Agent so to issue and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof
to
or upon the order of the Holder that number of shares of Common Stock (“Exercise
Shares”) for the portion of this Warrant converted as shall be determined in
accordance herewith. Upon the Exercise of this Warrant or any part thereof,
the
Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including
obtaining and delivering, an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company's
transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its
nominee) or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations
to be specified at Exercise representing the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such Exercise. The Company warrants that no instructions other
than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of
the
Company's Common Stock and that, unless waived by the Holder, the Exercise
Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain
a
legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Exercise Shares if
the
Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) are met.
3
(d) Delivery
Failure. In
addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the
event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Exercise
Shares by the Delivery Deadline (a “Delivery Failure”), the Holder will be
entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Exercise by delivery
of
a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the Holder
shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the
delivery of such notice, except that any liquidated damages described in the
Securities Purchase Agreement shall be payable through the date notice of
revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
(e)
Legends.
(i)
Restrictive
Legend.
The
Holder understands that the Warrant and, until such time as Exercise Shares
have
been registered under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights
Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144(k) under
the
1933 Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a
particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Exercise Shares may
bear
a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer
order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such
securities):
"The
securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state securities laws. The
securities may not be sold, transferred or assigned in the absence of an
effective registration statement for the securities under said Act, or an
opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope satisfactory to counsel to
the
Company, that registration is not required under said Act or unless sold
pursuant to Rule 144 under said Act."
(ii)
Removal
of Restrictive Legends.
Certificates evidencing the Exercise Shares shall not contain any legend
restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in
subsection 2(e)(i)): (i) while a registration statement (including the
Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act,
or
(ii) following any sale of such Exercise Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii)
if such Exercise Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if
such
legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act
(including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff
of
the Commission) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall
cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent
promptly after the Effective Date (as defined below) if required by the
Company’s transfer agent to effect the issuance of Exercise Shares without a
restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If the Unrestricted
Conditions are met at the time of issuance of Exercise Shares, then such
Exercise Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that
following the Effective Date or at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions
are
met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(e),
it
will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery (the
“Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline”) by the Holder to the Company or the
Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Exercise Shares, as
applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the
“Legend
Removal Date”),
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder a certificate (or electronic
transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other
legends. For purposes hereof, “EFFECTIVE DATE” shall mean the date that the
Registration Statement that the Company is required to file pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the Securities
and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).
4
(iii) Sale
of Unlegended Shares.
Holder
agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing
Securities as set forth in this Section 2(e)(i) above is predicated upon the
Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell any Exercise Shares pursuant to
either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any
applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and
that
if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold
in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
(f)
Cancellation of Warrant. This
Warrant shall be canceled upon the full Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon
as practical after the Date of Exercise, Holder shall be entitled to receive
Common Stock for the number of shares purchased upon such Exercise of this
Warrant, and if this Warrant is not Exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled
to receive a new Warrant (containing terms identical to this Warrant)
representing any unexercised portion of this Warrant in addition to such Common
Stock.
(g)
Holder of Record. Each
person in whose name any Warrant for shares of Common Stock is issued shall,
for
all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of record of such shares on the Date
of
Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Common
Stock purchased upon the Exercise of this Warrant. Nothing in this Warrant
shall
be construed as conferring upon Holder any rights as a stockholder of the
Company.
(h) Delivery
of Electronic Shares.
In lieu
of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable
upon
Exercise or legend removal, provided the Company’s Transfer Agent is
participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities
Transfer ("FAST") program, upon written request of the Holder, the Company
shall
use its best efforts to cause its Transfer Agent to electronically transmit
the
Common Stock issuable upon Exercise to the Holder by crediting the account
of
the Holder's prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission ("DWAC") system. The time periods for delivery and penalties
described herein shall apply to the electronic transmittals described
herein.
(i)
Delivery
Failure.
If the
Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to 2(c) by the fifth
(5th)
Trading Day after the Date of Exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder,
in
cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant
Shares that are issuable upon such Exercise (assuming a valuation per share
equal to the Market Price as of the Delivery Deadline), $10 per Trading Day
(increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such
liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such fifth (5th)
Trading Day until such certificates are delivered (the “LATE SHARE DELIVERY
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES”). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue
actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 11 hereof
for
the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified
herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available
to
it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights
shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any
other Section hereof or under applicable law.
5
(j)
Buy-In.
In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails
to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Exercise 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 shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Exercise Shares which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such Exercise (a “Buy-In”),
then
the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the
Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (A) the number of Exercise Shares that the Company was required
to
deliver to the Holder in connection with the Exercise at issue times (B) the
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was
executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion
of
the Warrant and equivalent number of Exercise Shares for which such Exercise
was
not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that
would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its Exercise and
delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect
to
an attempted Exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price
giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the
immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the
amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable
confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. 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 shares of Common Stock
upon
Exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(k)
Maximum
Interest Rate.
Nothing
contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in
connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of
a
rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by
applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required
to
be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law,
any
payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by
the
Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company.
6
(l)
Surrender of Warrant Upon Exercise; Book-Entry.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon Exercise of
this
Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required
to
physically surrender the original Warrant Certificate to the Company unless
all
of this Warrant is Exercised, in which case such Holder shall deliver the
original Warrant being Exercised to the Company promptly following the Date
of
Exercise at issue. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the
amount of this Warrant that is so Exercised and the dates of such Exercises
or
shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the
Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this original Warrant upon
each such Exercise. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records
of
the Company shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest
error.
3. Payment
of Warrant Exercise Price.
(a)
Exercise Price.
The
Exercise Price (“Exercise Price”) shall initially equal $4.00
per
share (the “Initial Exercise Price”), subject to adjustment pursuant to the
terms hereof, including but not limited to Section 5 below.
Payment
of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a combination
thereof, at the election of Holder:
(i) Cash
Exercise:
The
Holder may exercise this Warrant in cash,
bank or cashiers check or wire transfer (a “Cash Exercise”); or
(ii) Cashless
Exercise:
The
Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant in a cashless exercise
transaction under this subsection if and only if, on the Date of Exercise,
there
is not then in effect a current registration statement that covers the resale
of
the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. In order
to effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall surrender
of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice
of
cashless election, in which event the Company shall issue Holder a number of
shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula (a “Cashless
Exercise”):
X
= Y
(A-B)/A
where: X
= the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.
Y
= the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being Exercised.
A
= the
Market Price of one (1) share of Common Stock (for purposes of this Section
3(ii), where "MARKET PRICE," as of any date, means the Volume Weighted Average
Price (as defined herein) of the Company’s Common Stock during the five (5)
consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the date of
Exercise.
B
= the
Exercise Price.
7
As
used
herein, the "VOLUME WEIGHTED AVERAGE PRICE" for any security as of any date
means the volume weighted average sale price on the Over the Counter Electronic
Bulletin Board (the “OTC-BB”) as reported by, or based upon data reported by,
Bloomberg Financial Markets or an equivalent, reliable reporting service
mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by holders of a majority in
interest of the Warrants and the Company ("BLOOMBERG") or, if the OTC-BB is
not
the principal trading market for such security, the volume weighted average
sale
price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market
where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no
volume weighted average sale price is reported for such security, then the
last
closing trade price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last
closing trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average
of
the bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the
"pink sheets" by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the Volume Weighted
Average Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner
provided above, the volume weighted average price shall be the fair market
value
as mutually determined by the Company and the holders of a majority in interest
of the Warrants being Exercised for which the calculation of the volume weighted
average price is required in order to determine the Exercise Price of such
Warrants. "TRADING DAY" shall mean any day on which the Common Sock is traded
for any period on the OTC-BB, or on the principal securities exchange or other
securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.
For
purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of
this
Warrant in a cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired
at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is intended, understood and
acknowledged that the holding period for the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise
of this Warrant in a cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have
commenced on the date this Warrant was issued.
(b) Dispute
Resolution.
In the
case of a dispute as to the determination of the closing price or the Volume
Weighted Average Price of the Company’s Common Stock or the arithmetic
calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or the determination of whether
or not a Dilutive Issuance or a Milestone Failure has occurred, the Company
shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via
facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the
Exercise Notice or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may
be,
to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such
determination or calculation within two (2) Business Days of such disputed
determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then
the
Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (i) the
disputed determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average
Price
of the Company’s Common Stock to an independent, reputable investment bank
selected by the Company and approved by the Holder, which approval shall not
be
unreasonably withheld, (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exercise
Price, Market Price to the Company’s independent, outside accountant or (iii)
the disputed facts regarding the occurrence of a Dilutive Issuance or Milestone
Failure to an expert attorney from a nationally recognized outside law firm
(having at least 100 attorneys and having with no prior relationship with the
Company) selected by the Company and approved by the Holder. The Company, at
the
Company’s expense, shall cause the investment bank or the accountant, law firm,
or other expert, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or
calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later
than
five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations
or
calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or
calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent
demonstrable error (collectively, the “DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PROCEDURES”).
8
4. Transfer
and Registration.
(a) Transfer
Rights. Subject
to the provisions of Section 8 of this Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred
on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, in person or by attorney,
upon
surrender of this Warrant properly completed and endorsed. This Warrant shall
be
canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the person
to whom such transfer is made shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or
Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be
entitled to receive a new Warrant as to the portion hereof retained.
(b) Registrable
Securities. The
Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant has registration rights
pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreements between the Company
and
the Holder dated even herewith.
5. Anti-Dilution
Adjustments; Additional Adjustments; Purchase Rights.
(a) Participation.
The
Holder, as the holder of this Warrant, shall be entitled to receive such
dividends paid and distributions of any kind made to the holders of Common
Stock
of the Company to the same extent as if the Holder had Exercised this Warrant
into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise herein or
elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares
are
authorized and reserved to effect any such exercise and issuance) and had held
such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and
distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently
with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock.
(b) Recapitalization
or Reclassification. If
the
Company shall at any time effect a recapitalization, reclassification or other
similar transaction of such character that the shares of Common Stock shall
be
changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares,
then upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock
which
Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be
increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase
or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such
recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise
Price shall be, in the case of an increase in the number of shares,
proportionally decreased and, in the case of decrease in the number of shares,
proportionally increased. The Company shall give Holder the same notice it
provides to holders of Common Stock of any transaction described in this Section
5(b).
9
(c) Rights
Upon Change of Control Transaction.
(i) Assumption. At
least
thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control Transaction
(as defined below), but not prior to the public announcement of such Major
Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile
and
overnight courier to the Holder (a "CHANGE OF CONTROL NOTICE"). For
purposes hereof, each of the following shall constitute a “CHANGE OF CONTROL
TRANSACTION”: (A)
the
Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its
assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender
offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed
pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange
their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects
any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange
pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged
for other securities, cash or property. The
Company shall not, at
any
time while this Warrant is outstanding,
enter
into or be party to a Change of Control Transaction unless (i) any Person
purchasing the Company’s assets or Common Stock, or any successor entity
resulting from such Change of Control Transaction (in each case, an “SUCCESSOR
ENTITY”), assumes (an “ASSUMPTION”) 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 5(c)(ii) pursuant to written agreements
in
form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the
Required Holders prior to such Change of Control Transaction, including
agreements to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants
a
security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially
similar in form and substance to the Warrants, including, without limitation,
having similar exercise rights as the Debentures (including but not limited
to a
similar Exercise Price and similar Exericse Price adjustment provisions), and
satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity (including
its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation with “Similar Trading
Characteristics” (as defined below) to the Company and whose common stock is
quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence
of
any Change of Control Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and
be
substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Change of Control
Transaction, the provisions of this Debenture 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
Debenture with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as
the
Company herein. Upon consummation of the Change of Control Transaction, the
Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall
be
issued upon exercise or redemption of this Warrant at any time after the
consummation of the Change of Control Transaction, in lieu of the shares of
Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable
upon
the exercise of the Warrants prior to such Change of Control Transaction, such
shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor
Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Debenture. The
provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive
Change of Control Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any
limitations on the exercise of this Warrant. The requirements of this Section
5(c)(ii) are referred to herein as the “ASSUMPTION REQUIREMENTS.”
10
For
purposes hereof, an entity shall have “Similar Trading Characteristics” as the
Company if the
average daily trading volume of the Common Stock for the
90th
through the 31st day prior to the public announcement of such transaction
exceeds
100,000 shares and the daily trading dollar volume of the Common Stock for
the
90th
through the 31st day prior to the public announcement of such transaction
exceeds
$100,000.
(ii)
Injunction.
In the
event that the Company attempts to consummate a Change of Control Transaction
with an entity that does not meet the above specified requirements, the Holder
shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts
sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing
of
such Major Transaction until the Major Transaction Redemption Price is paid
to
the Holder, in full.
For
purposes hereof:
"ELIGIBLE
MARKET" means the over the counter Bulletin Board (“OTC-BB”), the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc., the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ
Global Select Market or the American Stock Exchange.
"PARENT
ENTITY" of a Person means an entity that, directly or indirectly, controls
the
applicable Person and whose common stock or equivalent equity security is quoted
or listed on an Eligible Market, or, if there is more than one such Person
or
Parent Entity, the Person or Parent Entity with the largest public market
capitalization as of the date of consummation of the Fundamental
Transaction.
"PERSON"
means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint
venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other
entity and a government or any department or agency thereof.
“REQUIRED
HOLDERS” shall mean Holders holding at least 75% of the then outstanding amount
of Warrants.
(d) Exercise
Price Adjusted. As
used
in this Warrant, the term "Exercise Price" shall mean the purchase price per
share specified in Section 3 of this Warrant, until the occurrence of an event
stated in this Section 5 or otherwise set forth in this Warrant, and thereafter
shall mean said price as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the
provisions of said subsection. No such adjustment under this Section 5 shall
be
made unless such adjustment would change the Exercise Price at the time by
$.01
or more; provided, however, that all adjustments not so made shall be deferred
and made when the aggregate thereof would change the Exercise Price at the
time
by $.01 or more. No adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this Section
5
shall have the net effect of increasing the Exercise Price in relation to the
split adjusted and distribution adjusted price of the Common Stock.
(e) Adjustments:
Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In
the
event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 5 or otherwise, Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become
entitled to receive shares and/or other securities or assets (other than Common
Stock) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common
Stock shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other
securities or assets; and thereafter the number of such shares and/or other
securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a
manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions
of
this Section 5.
11
(f) Adjustment
of Exercise Price upon Issuance of Common Stock, Options, Convertible
Securities, Etc. (MFN).
If at
any time after the Date of Issuance for so long as any Warrants are outstanding,
the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 5(f) is deemed
to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance
or
sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the
Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or
sold
by the Company in respect of an Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement), for a consideration per share (the "NEW ISSUANCE PRICE")
less than a price (the "APPLICABLE PRICE") equal to the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such issue or sale (the foregoing a "DILUTIVE ISSUANCE"),
then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect
shall be reduced to the New Issuance Price (each, a “DILUTIVE ISSUANCE
ADJUSTMENT”). For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this
Section 5(f), the following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance
of Options.
If the
Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per
share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such
Option or upon Exercise or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then
such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such
Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 5(f)(i), the
"lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
the
exercise of any such Option or upon Exercise or exchange or exercise of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option" shall be equal
to
the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable
by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting
or
sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon Exercise or exchange
or
exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.
No
adjustment shall be made hereunder if such adjustment would result in an
increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.
(ii) Issuance
of Convertible Securities.
If the
Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest
price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such
Exercise or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price,
then
such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such
Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this
Section 5(f)(ii), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common
Stock is issuable upon such Exercise or exchange or exercise" shall be equal
to
the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable
by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance
or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the Exercise or exchange or
exercise of such Convertible Security. No
adjustment shall be made hereunder if such adjustment would result in an
increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.
12
(iii) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Exercise.
If the
purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue, Exercise, exchange or exercise of any Convertible
Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible
into
or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the
Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the
Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options
or
Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional
consideration or changed Exercise rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section5(f)(iii), if
the
terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the
Subscription Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately
preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common
Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, Exercise or exchange thereof shall be
deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No
adjustment shall be made hereunder if such adjustment would result in an
increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.
(iv)
Calculation
of Consideration Received.
In case
any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities
of
the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options
will be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in
good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. If any Common Stock, Options
or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or
sold
for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net
amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash,
the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will
be
the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board
of
Directors of the Company, except where such consideration consists of
securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
will be the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the date of receipt. If
any
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of
the
non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is
the
surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be
the
fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving
entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than
cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required
Warrant Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10)
days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "VALUATION
EVENT"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five
(5)
Business Days after the tenth day following the Valuation Event by an
independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the
Required Warrant Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed
binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of
such
appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(v) Record
Date.
If the
Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common
Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (2) to subscribe for or purchase
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will
be
deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have
been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of
such
other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription
or
purchase, as the case may be.
13
(vi) Other
Events.
If any
event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 5(f)
but
not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation,
the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights
with equity features), then the Company's Board of Directors will make an
appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price so as to protect the rights of
the
Holder under this Note; provided that no such adjustment will increase the
Exercise Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section
5(f).
For
purposes hereof:
"CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES" means any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or
indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common
Stock.
"OPTIONS"
means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock
or Convertible Securities.
“REQUIRED
WARRANT HOLDERS” shall mean Holders holding at least 75% of the then outstanding
Warrants (determined by number of underlying unexercised shares).
(g) Subsequent
Rights Offerings.
If the
Company, at anytime prior to the date that all of the Warrants have been
Exercised, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms,
shall
issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to
Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock
at a
price per share (the “BASE RIGHTS OFFERING PRICE”) that is lower than the
Conversion Price then in effect, then the Exercise Price then in effect shall
be
reduced (but not increased) to the Base Rights Offering Price (a “SUBSEQUENT
RIGHTS OFFERING ADJUSTMENT”). Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights
or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights,
options or warrants. No adjustment shall be made hereunder if such adjustment
would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.
(h)
Milestone Adjustments
to Exercise Price.
The
Company has provided to the Holder pro forma financial projections and a list
of
milestone events that are evidenced on SCHEDULE 5(H) attached hereto (the
“Projections”). If the Company shall have failed (each a “Milestone Failure”) to
meet or exceed such Projections for any one or more of the following periods
(each a “Milestone Period”) (i) the one year period ending Xxxxxxxx 00, 0000xxx
(xx) the one year period ending June 30, 2007, respectively (each a “Milestone
Date”), in each case as reported in the Company’s Form 10-QSB for such fiscal
quarter, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced (but not increased) (a
“Milestone Adjustment) to equal the lesser of (a) the Exercise Price then in
effect, (b) the Market Price as determined on the date that is five (5) Trading
Days after the applicable Milestone Date, or (c) the Market Price (as defined
below) as determined on the date that is five (5) Trading Days after the date
that Company files its next Form 10-QSB with the Commission following the end
of
the applicable Milestone Period (the “Milestone Adjustment Price”).
14
Each
such
adjustment shall be effective as of the first day following each Milestone
Date
(by way of example, if the Projections are not met for the Milestone Period
ending December 31, 2007, the reduction is effective immediately on January
1,
2008). As to any Exercises by the Holder that occurred following the end of
a
Milestone Period but prior to the date the Company’s periodic report was filed
(“Interim
Period”),
the
Company shall retroactively send the Holder additional Warrant Shares within
3
Trading Days of the date of the applicable filing if an adjustment is required
hereunder (provided that to the extent any such shares would cause the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation to be exceeded, such excess shares shall not
be
issued and delivered until such time as such shares may be so issued without
exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). The number of additional Warrant
Shares issued shall be equal to the number of Warrant Shares receivable from
such Exercises based on the adjusted Exercise Price less any Warrant Shares
previously received on account of such Exercises. Any subsequent restatements
of
the Company’s financials shall require similar retroactive issuances if the
aforementioned events are subsequently deemed to have occurred. The Company
shall provide written notice to the Holder no later than 1 Business Day
following the Company’s filing of the applicable periodic report with the
Commission, indicating therein the new Exercise Price and the Revenue for the
applicable quarter. In the event that there is an adjustment to the Exercise
Price pursuant to any other provision under this Certificate of Designation
during the Interim Period, the Exercise Price shall be the lower of (i) the
Exercise Price as adjusted pursuant to the other provisions of this Certificate
of Designation and (ii) the new Exercise Price as determined hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the provision shall only
have the effect of reducing the Exercise Price and (ii) each adjustment shall
be
permanent notwithstanding future Revenue or the achievement of any other
milestones and cumulative with any other adjustments hereunder.
(i) Adjustments
to Exercise Price During Major Announcements.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, in the
event
the Company makes any public announcement (the date of such announcement is
hereinafter referred to as the "Announcement Date") anytime during the period
beginning five (5) Business Days before any Milestone Adjustment Date and ending
five (5) Business Days after such Milestone Adjustment Date (the "Protected
Period"), then the "Milestone Adjustment Price" for such Milestone Adjustment
shall equal the lesser of (X) the Milestone Adjustment Price as determined
pursuant to Section 8(e)(ii) above, (Y) the Market Price as determined on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the Announcement Date and (Z) the Market
Price
as determined on the date that is ten (10) Trading Days after the Announcement
Date.
(j)
Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.
If the
Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares
of
Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after
the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the
number of shares represented by this Warrant shall proportionally increase.
If
the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization,
reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock
acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date
of
record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number
of
shares represented by this Warrant shall proportionally decrease.
15
(k) Adjustment
to Number of Shares.
In the
event of any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of this
Warrant, including but not limited to any Milestone Adjustment, any Dilutive
Issuance Adjustment or any Subsequent Rights Offering Adjustment, the number
of
Warrant Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased such
that the aggregate Exercise Price payable in a full Cash Exercise hereunder,
after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal
to
the aggregate Exercise Price payable in a full Cash Exercise prior to such
adjustment, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable in a Cashless Exercise
shall be increased accordingly.
(l) Notice
of Adjustments. Whenever
the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the
Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice (a “Exercise Price Adjustment
Notice”) setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting
forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Company shall,
upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder
a
like Warrant setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the
Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common
Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the
time
would be received upon Exercise of the Warrant. For purposes of clarification,
whether or not the Corporation provides an Exercise Price Adjustment Notice
pursuant to this Section 5(k), upon the occurrence of any event that leads
to an
adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holders are entitled to receive a number
of Exercise Shares based upon the new Exercise Price, as adjusted, for exercises
occurring on or after the date of such adjustment, regardless of whether a
Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Exercise Price in the Notice of
Exercise.
6. Fractional
Interests.
No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable
upon
the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may
purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on Exercise of
this
Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock or
a
right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share
shall
be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Exercise
shall be the next higher number of shares.
7. Reservation
of Shares.
From
and
after the date hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve for issuance
such
number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities
substituted
therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise
of
this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price in full without regard to any
Beneficial Ownership Limitation. If at any time the number of shares of Common
Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is below the number of shares
sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant (a “Share Authorization
Failure”)(based on the Exercise Price in effect from time to time), the Company
will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve
a
sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special
meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company's
obligations under this Section 7, in the case of an insufficient number of
authorized shares, and using its best efforts to obtain stockholder approval
of
an increase in such authorized number of shares. The Company covenants and
agrees that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such Exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid,
nonassessable and not subject to liens, claims, preemptive rights, rights of
first refusal or similar rights of any person or entity.
16
8. Restrictions
on Transfer.
(a) Registration
or Exemption Required. This
Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirements of the Act by virtue of Regulation D and exempt from state
registration under applicable state laws. The Warrant and the Common Stock
issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant may not be transferred, sold or
assigned except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption
to the registration requirements of the Act and applicable state
laws.
(b) Assignment.
If
Holder
can provide the Company with reasonably satisfactory evidence that the
conditions of (a) above regarding registration or exemption have been satisfied,
Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Warrant,
in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a written notice to Company,
substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit
B,
indicating the person or persons to whom the Warrant shall be assigned and
the
respective number of warrants to be assigned to each assignee. The Company
shall
effect the assignment within ten (10) days, and shall deliver to the assignee(s)
designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the
appropriate number of shares.
9. Noncircumvention.
The
Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment
of
its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer
of
assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at
all
times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all
action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not
increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and
(ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant.
17
10. [Intentionally
Left Blank].
11. Default

Each of
the following events shall be considered to be an "EVENT OF DEFAULT," unless
waived by the Holder:
(i)
[Intentionally Left Blank].
(ii)
Failure
To Authorize And Reserve Common Stock. A
Share
Authorization Failure (as defined in Section 7(k) of the Debenture) occurs
and
remains uncured for a period of more than sixty (60) days;
(iii)

to the Holder upon Exercise by the Holder of the Exercise rights of the Holder
in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
(iv)
Legend
Removal Failure. A
Legend
Removal Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period
of
twenty (20) days.
(v)
Cross
Default. An
event
of default (as defined in the applicable security) in any other Debenture,
Warrant or other security issued to the Holder or another holder pursuant to
the
Securities Purchase Agreement (a “Cross Default”) shall constitute an Event of
Default hereunder.
(vi)
[Intentionally Left Blank].
(vii)
Failure
to Adjust Exercise Price; Failure to Comply With Dispute Resolution
Procedures.
The
Company shall have failed to comply in good faith with the Dispute Resolution
Procedures (as defined herein) or shall have failed to adjust the Exercise
Price
as required hereunder following a Dilutive Issuance, a Milestone Event, or
otherwise (after any applicable Dispute Resolution Procedure required
herein).
(b) Mandatory
Redemption.
(i)
Mandatory
Redemption Amount.
If any
Events of Default shall occur then, unless waived by the Holder, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at the option
of
the Holder, such option exercisable through the delivery of written notice
to
the Company by such Holder (the "DEFAULT NOTICE"), the outstanding amount of
this Warrant shall be immediately redeemed by the Company and the Company shall
pay to the Holder (a “MANDATORY REDEMPTION”) an amount (the “MANDATORY
REDEMPTION AMOUNT” or the “DEFAULT AMOUNT”) equal to the Mandatory Redemption
Premium (as defined below) multiplied by the greater of (i) the Black-Scholes
value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such
Default Notice and (2) the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised
portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that
the Mandatory Redemption Amount is paid to the Holder.
18
For
purposes hereof, the “MANDATORY REDEMPTION PREMIUM” shall mean 100%.
“BLACK-SCHOLES”
value of a Warrant shall
be
determined by use of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model reflecting (A)
a
risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period
equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of such date of request and
(B)
an expected volatility equal to the greater of 60% and the 100 day volatility
obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg.
The
Mandatory Redemption Amount shall be payable, in cash or cash equivalent, within
five (5) business days of the Date of the applicable Default Notice.
After
an
Event of Default occurs, the Exercise Price shall be permanently decreased
(but
not increased) on the first Trading Day of each calendar month thereafter (each
a “DEFAULT ADJUSTMENT DATE”) until the Default Amount is paid in full, to a
price equal to the lesser of (i) the Exercise Price then in effect, or (ii)
the
lowest Market Price that has occurred on any Default Adjustment Date since
the
date that the Event of Default began. Notwithstanding the occurrence of an
Event
of Default, Failure Payments and any other Required Cash Payments (as defined
in
the Securities Purchase Agreement) shall continue to accrue. On the date that
is
five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Default
Notice, the Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder,
shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or
notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs,
including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and
the
Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available
at
law or in equity.
If
the
Company fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) Business Days of written
notice that such amount is due and payable (the “DEFAULT AMOUNT DUE DATE”), then
interest shall accrue thereon at a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum,
compounded monthly (or the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, whichever
is less), and the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the
Company remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are
sufficient authorized shares), to require the Company, upon written notice
(“DEFAULT EXERCISE NOTICE”) (which may be given one or more times, from time to
time anytime after the Default Amount Due Date), to immediately issue, in lieu
of all or any specified portion (the “SPECIFIED PORTION”) of the unpaid portion
(the “UNPAID PORTION”) of the Default Amount, a number of shares (the “DEFAULT
SHARES”) of Common Stock, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, equal
to the Specified Portion of the Default Amount divided by the Exercise Price
in
effect on the date such shares are issued to the Holder, PROVIDED THAT, the
Holder may require that such payment of shares be made in one or more
installments at such time and in such amounts as Holder chooses. The Default
shares are due within five (5) Business Days of the date that the Holder
delivers a Default Exercise Notice to the Company (the “DEFAULT SHARE DELIVERY
DEADLINE”).
19
If
the
Company is unable to redeem all of the Warrants submitted for redemption, the
Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the number
of
Warrants submitted for redemption by such Holder relative to the total number
of
Warrants submitted for redemption by all Holders.
The
Holder shall not be entitled to receive Default Shares on a given date if and
to
the extent that such issuance would cause the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
then in effect to be exceeded. If and to the extent that the issuance of Default
Shares with respect to a given Specified Portion would result in the a violation
of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then that particular Specified Portion
shall be automatically reduced to a value that would cause the number of Default
Shares to be issued to equal the Maximum Percentage, and the amount of such
reduction shall be added back to the Unpaid Portion of the Default
Amount.
(ii)
Liquidated
Damages.
The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as late delivery
payments or pursuant to a Mandatory Redemption shall give rise to liquidated
damages and not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount
of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the Holder is incapable or is
difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified bear a reasonable
proportion and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable
loss
likely to be incurred by the Investor, and (iii) the parties are sophisticated
business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal
and
financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.
The
Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder, shall
immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice,
all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including,
without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder
shall
be entitled to Exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in
equity.
(c) Redemption
by Other Holders.
Upon the
Company's receipt of notice from any of the holders for redemption or repayment
of other Warrants that were issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement
(the “OTHER WARRANTS”) as a result of an event or occurrence of an Event of
Default or a Major Transaction (each, an "OTHER REDEMPTION NOTICE"), the Company
shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt
thereof, forward to the Holder by facsimile a copy of such notice. If the
Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices,
during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date
which is three (3) Business Days prior to the Company's receipt of the Holder's
Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is three (3)
Business Days after the Company's receipt of the Holder's Redemption Notice
and
the Company is unable to redeem all amounts designated in such Redemption Notice
and such Other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day
period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of
the
Warrants (including the Holder) based on the number of Warrants submitted for
redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices
received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period.
20
(d) Posting
Of Bond. In
the
event that any Event of Default occurs hereunder or any Event of Default occurs
under any of the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement), the Company may not raise as a legal defense (in any Lawsuit, as
defined below, or otherwise) or justification to such Event of Default any
claim
that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been
engaged in any violation of law, unless the Company has posted a surety bond
(a
“Surety Bond”) for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 130% of the
aggregate Surety Bond Value (as defined below) of all of the Holder’s Debenture
and Warrants (the “Bond Amount”), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until
the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall
be
payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.
For
purposes hereof, a “Lawsuit” shall mean any lawsuit, arbitration or other
dispute resolution filed by either party herein pertaining to any of the
Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).
“Surety
Bond Value,” for the Warrants shall mean 130% of the of the Black-Scholes value
of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date that such bond goes into effect) and “Surety Bond
Value” for the Debenture shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the
Debenture.
(e)
Injunction And Posting Of Bond.
In the
event that the Event of Default referred to in subsection (c) above pertains
to
the Company’s failure to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to the Holder
pursuant to a Warrant Exercise, legend removal request, or otherwise, the
Company may not refuse such unlegended share delivery based on any claim that
such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been
engaged in any violation of law, unless an injunction from a court, on prior
notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining Exercise of all or part of said
Warrant shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company
has
posted a Surety Bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of the Bond
Amount (as described above), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until
the
completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be
payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.
(f) Remedies,
Other Obligations, Breaches And Injunctive Relief. The
remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all
other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents,
at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other
injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder
to
pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms
of
this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the
remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore
agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder
of
this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other
available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the
necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.
Section
12. Holder’s
Redemptions.
(a)
Mechanics of Holder’s Redemptions.
In the
event that the Holder has sent a Default Notice pursuant to Section 11(b)(i)
(a
“Redemption Notice”), the Holder shall promptly submit this Warrant to the
Company. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the outstanding
portion of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and
delivered to the Holder a new Warrant representing the outstanding number of
underlying Warrant Shares which have not been redeemed.
21
(b)
Warrants Detachable.
The
Warrants constitute a separate, detachable security from the Debentures. In
the
event of any redemption of the Debentures, in whole or in part, by the Company,
the Holder shall retain any of its Warrants that have not been exercised or
redeemed in accordance with their terms and in the event of any redemption
of
the Warrants, in whole or in part, by the Company, the Holder shall retain
any
of its Warrants that have not been exercised or redeemed in accordance with
their terms.

Company and Holder.
