----------------------------------------------------
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
OF
HOH WATER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
----------------------------------------------------
This is to Certify that, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, XXXXX X. XXXXXXX, or
assigns, ("Holder"), is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this
Warrant, from HOH WATER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, a California corporation
("Company"), Ten Thousand (10,000) fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, of the Company ("Common Stock") at any
time or from time to time during the period from the date hereof until 5:00 P.M.
Los Angeles City Time on August 14, 2008 (the "Exercise Period") at an initial
exercise price equal to $1.375 per share. The number of shares of Common Stock
to be received upon the exercise of this Warrant and the price to be paid for
each share of Common Stock may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set
forth. The shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such exercise, and as
adjusted from time to time are hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Warrant
Shares" and the exercise price of a share of Common Stock in effect at any time
and as adjusted from time to time is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the
"Exercise Price."
(A) EXERCISE OF WARRANT. This Warrant may be exercised in
whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, and during the Exercise
Period the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant into the kind
and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash)
receivable by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this
Warrant might have been exercisable immediately prior thereto. This Warrant may
be exercised by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at its
principal office, or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the
Purchase Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in such form. As soon
as practicable after each such exercise of the Warrants, but not later than
seven (7) days from the date of such exercise, the Company shall issue and
deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares
issuable upon such exercise, registered in the name of the Holder or its
designee. If this Warrant should be exercised in part
2
EXHIBIT 10.11.L; PAGE 2
only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation,
execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder thereof to
purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable thereunder. Upon receipt
by the Company of this Warrant at its office, or by the stock transfer agent of
the Company at its office, in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be
deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company
shall then be closed or that certificates representing such shares of Common
Stock shall not then be physically delivered to the Holder.
(B) RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall at all times reserve for
issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of
its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance and delivery upon exercise of
the Warrants.
(C) FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or script representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With
respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the
Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the current market value of a share, determined as follows:
(1) If the Common Stock is listed on a National Securities
Exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange or listed
for trading on the NASDAQ system, the current market value shall be the last
reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange or system on the last
business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no such sale is
made on such day, the average closing bid and asked prices for such day on such
exchange or system; or
(2) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to
unlisted trading privileges, the current market value shall be the mean of the
last reported bid and asked prices reported by the National Quotation Bureau,
Inc.
on the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant; or
(3) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to
unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the
current market value shall be an amount, not less than book value thereof as at
the end of the most recent fiscal year of the Company ending prior to the date
of the exercise of the Warrant, determined in such reasonable manner as may be
prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Company or, if higher, $0.01 per
share.
(D) EXCHANGE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR LOSS OF WARRANT. This Warrant is
exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation
and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer
agent, if any, for other warrants of different denominations entitling the
holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable hereunder. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at
its principal office or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with
the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new
Warrant I the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and
this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. This Warrant may be divided or combined
with other warrants which carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the
principal office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if
any, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in
which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof. The term
"Warrant" as used herein includes any Warrants
3
EXHIBIT 10.11.L; PAGE 3
into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. Upon receipt of the Company
of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably
satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this
Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of
like tenor and date. Any such new Warrant executed and delivered shall
constitute an additional contractual obligation on the part of the Company,
whether or not this Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated shall be at
any time enforceable by anyone.
(E) RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be
entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at low or equity,
and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in the Warrant and
are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
(F) ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. The Exercise Price in effect at any time
and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the
Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of
certain events as follows:
(1) In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a
contribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common
Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in
effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of
the effective date of such subdivisions, combination or reclassification shall
be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action, and the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such action. Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(2) Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each
Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Subsection (1) above, the number of shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall simultaneously be adjusted by
multiplying the number of shares initially issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect on the date hereof and dividing the
product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.
(3) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein
provided, the Company shall promptly cause a notice setting forth the adjusted
Exercise Price and adjusted number of shares issuable upon exercise of each
Warrant to be mailed to the Holders, at their last addresses appearing in the
Warrant Register, and shall cause a certified copy thereof to be mailed to its
transfer agent, if any. The Company may retain a firm of independent certificate
public accountants selected by the Board of Directors (who may be the regular
accountants employed by the Company) to make any computation required by this
Section F and a certificate signed by such firms shall be conclusive evidence of
the correctness of such adjustment.
(4) In the event that at any time, as a result of an
adjustment made pursuant to Subsection (1) above, the Holder of this Warrant
thereafter shall become entitled to receive any shares of
4
EXHIBIT 10.11.L; PAGE 4
the Company, other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares
so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in Subsection (1) above.
(5) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or
the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, Warrants
theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and
number and kind of shares as are stated in the similar Warrants initially
issuable pursuant to this Agreement.
(G) OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted as required by the provisions of the foregoing Section, the Company
shall forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary
at its principal office and with its stock transfer agent, if any, an officer's
certificate showing the adjusted Exercise Price determined as herein provided,
setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment,
including a statement of the number of additional shares of Common Stock, if
any, and such other facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for and the
manner of computing such adjustment. Each such officer's certificate shall be
made available at all reasonable times for inspection by the holder or any
holder of a Warrant executed and delivered pursuant to Section A and the Company
shall, forthwith after each such adjustment, mail a copy by certified mail of
such certificate to the Holder or any such holder.
(H) NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS. So long as this Warrant shall be
outstanding, (i) if the Company shall pay any dividend or make any distribution
upon the Common Stock or (ii) if the Company shall offer to the holders of
Common Stock for subscription or purchase by them any share of any class or any
other rights or (iii) if the capital reorganization of the Company,
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of
the Company with or into another corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or
substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to another
corporation, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of the Company shall be effected, then in any such case, the Company shall cause
to be mailed by certified mail to the Holder, at least fifteen days prior to the
date specified in (x) or (y) below, as the case may be, a notice containing a
brief description of the proposed action and stating the date on which (x) a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights,
or (y) such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if
any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock or other securities
shall receive cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up.
(I) RECLASSIFICATION, REORGANIZATION OR MERGER. In case of any
reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares
of Common Stock of the Company, or in case of any consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary
in which merger the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not
result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the class issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant) or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance to another corporation of
the property of the Company as an entirety, the Company shall, as a condition
precedent to such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that the
Holder shall have the right
5
EXHIBIT 10.11.L; PAGE 5
thereafter by exercising this Warrant at any time prior to the expiration of the
Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities
and property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization and
other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock which might have been purchased upon exercise
of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any such provision shall include
provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The foregoing
provisions of this Section I shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, capital reorganizations and changes of shares of Common Stock
and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. In the event
that in connection with any such capital reorganization or reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, additional shares of Common Stock
shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or payment, in whole or in
part, for a security of the Company other than Common Stock, any such issue
shall be treated as an issue of Common Stock covered by the provisions of
Subsection (1) of Section F hereof.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be signed
and attested by the Undersigned, being duly authorized, as of the date set forth
on the first part hereof.
