SERIES A COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
To Purchase __________ Shares of Common Stock of
ON2 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
THIS SERIES A COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the "Warrant")
certifies that, for value received, _____________ (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 380th calendar
day following the Initial Exercise Date (the "Termination Date") but not
thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from ON2 Technologies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), up to ______ shares (the "Warrant Shares")
of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock").
The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be
equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
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 October __, 2004, among the Company
and the purchasers signatory thereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant may be made at any time or times on or after the Initial
Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the
Company of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form
annexed hereto (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
such Holder appearing on the books of the Company); provided, however,
within 5 Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to
the Company, the Holder shall have surrendered this Warrant to the Company
and the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier's check
drawn on a United States bank.
1
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price of the Common Stock under this
Warrant shall be $0.65, subject to adjustment hereunder (the "Exercise
Price").
c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time after one year from the date of
issuance of this Warrant there is no effective Registration Statement
registering the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this
Warrant may also be exercised 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
of such election;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means
of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
d) Exercise Limitations.
i. Holder's Restrictions. The Holder shall not have the
right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to
Section 2(c) or otherwise, to the extent that after giving
effect to such issuance after exercise, the Holder (together
with the Holder's affiliates), as set forth on the applicable
Notice of Exercise, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99%
of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to such issuance. For purposes
of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates
shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the
determination of such sentence is being made, but shall
exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be
issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised
portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or
any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the
unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of
the Company (including, without limitation, any other
Preferred Stock or Warrants) 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(d), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act, it being acknowledged by Holder that the Company is not
representing to Holder that such calculation is in compliance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and 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(d) applies, the determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by the Holder) and of which a portion of this
Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of such
Xxxxxx, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be
deemed to be such Holder's determination of whether this
Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned
by such Holder) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage
limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify
or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of
this Section 2(d), in determining the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the
Company's most recent Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as the case
may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company
or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Company's
Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the
Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm
orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock 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 shares of Common Stock was reported. The
provisions of this Section 2(d) may be waived by the Holder
upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days'
prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of this
Section 2(d) shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or
such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be
specified in such notice of waiver).
2
ii. Trading Market Restrictions. If the Company has not
obtained Shareholder Approval (as defined below) if required,
then the Company may not issue upon exercise of this Warrant
in the aggregate, in excess of 19.999% of the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding on the Trading Day immediately
preceding the Closing Date, less any shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of or as payment of dividends on the
Preferred Stock or upon prior exercise of this or any other
Warrant issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (such number
of shares, the "Issuable Maximum"). If on any attempted
exercise of this Warrant, the issuance of Warrant Shares would
exceed the Issuable Maximum and the Company shall not have
previously obtained the vote of shareholders (the "Shareholder
Approval"), if any, as may be required by the applicable rules
and regulations of the Trading Market (or any successor
entity) to approve the issuance of shares of Common Stock in
excess of the Issuable Maximum pursuant to the terms hereof,
then the Company shall issue to the Holder requesting a
Warrant exercise such number of Warrant Shares as may be
issued below the Issuable Maximum and, with respect to the
remainder of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares, this
Warrant shall not be exercisable until and unless Shareholder
Approval has been obtained.
3
e) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Authorization of Warrant Shares. 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, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in
respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of
any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue). The
Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is
outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Stock 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 stock 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 Common Stock may be listed.
ii. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates
for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the
transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the
account of the Holder's prime broker with the Depository Trust
Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
("DWAC") system if the Company is a participant in such
system, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address
specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within 3
Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of
Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above ("Warrant Share
Delivery Date"). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been
exercised on the date the Exercise Price is received by 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 by the delivery to the Company of
the Notice of Exercise Form and by payment to the Company of
the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the
Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(e)(vii) prior to the
issuance of such shares, have been paid.
4
iii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this
Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall,
at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of 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.
iv. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause its
transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to this
Section 2(e)(iv) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the
Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
v. 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 its
transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or
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) shares
of Common Stock 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 (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 Warrant 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 Warrant 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.
5
vi. 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 Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such
exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect
of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction
multiplied by the Exercise Price.
vii. 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.
viii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its
stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the
timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
f) Call Provision. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2(f), if
after the Effective Date the VWAP for each of 10 consecutive Trading Days (the
"Measurement Period", which period shall not have commenced until after the
Effective Date) exceeds 130% of the Exercise Price (subject to adjustment as set
forth herein) (the "Threshold Price"), then the Company may, within five Trading
Days of the end of such period, call for redemption of all or any portion of
this Warrant for $0.01 per share (the "Call Price") for which a Notice of
Exercise has not yet been delivered (such right, a "Call"). To exercise this
right, the Company must deliver to the Holder an irrevocable written notice (a
"Call Notice"), indicating therein the portion of unexercised portion of this
Warrant to which such notice applies. If the conditions set forth below for such
Call are satisfied from the period from the date of the Call Notice through and
including the Call Date (as defined below), then any portion of this Warrant
subject to such Call Notice for which a Notice of Exercise shall not have been
received by the Call Date will be cancelled at 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on
the 10th Trading Day after the date the Call Notice is received by the Holder
(such date, the "Call Date"). Any unexercised portion of this Warrant to which
the Call Notice does not pertain will be unaffected by such Call Notice. In
furtherance thereof, the Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all
Notices of Exercise with respect to Warrant Shares subject to a Call Notice that
are tendered through 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date. The
parties agree that any Notice of Exercise delivered following a Call Notice
shall first reduce to zero the number of Warrant Shares subject to such Call
Notice prior to reducing the remaining Warrant Shares available for purchase
under this Warrant. For example, if (x) this Warrant then permits the Holder to
acquire 100 Warrant Shares, (y) a Call Notice pertains to 75 Warrant Shares, and
(z) prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date the Holder tenders
a Notice of Exercise in respect of 50 Warrant Shares, then (1) on the Call Date
the right under this Warrant to acquire 25 Warrant Shares will be automatically
cancelled, (2) the Company, in the time and manner required under this Warrant,
will have issued and delivered to the Holder 50 Warrant Shares in respect of the
exercises following receipt of the Call Notice, and (3) the Holder may, until
the Termination Date, exercise this Warrant for 25 Warrant Shares (subject to
adjustment as herein provided and subject to subsequent Call Notices). Subject
again to the provisions of this Section 2(f), the Company may deliver subsequent
Call Notices for any portion of this Warrant for which the Holder shall not have
delivered a Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Warrant, the Company may not deliver a Call Notice or require the
cancellation of this Warrant (and any Call Notice will be void), unless, from
the beginning of the 10th consecutive Trading Days used to determine whether the
Common Stock has achieved the Threshold Price through the Call Date, (i) the
Company shall have honored in accordance with the terms of this Warrant all
Notices of Exercise delivered by 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call
Date, (ii) the Registration Statement shall be effective as to all Warrant
Shares and the prospectus thereunder available for use by the Holder for the
resale of all such Warrant Shares and (iii) the Common Stock shall be listed or
quoted for trading on the Trading Market. The Company's right to Call the
Warrant shall be exercised ratably among the Holders based on each Holder's
initial purchase of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
6
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a
distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity
or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for
avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the
Company pursuant to this Warrant), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock 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 shares of
Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustment made pursuant to
this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for
the determination of stockholders 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.
7
b) Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as
applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall offer, sell,
grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to reprice its
securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant
or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an
effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price,
the "Base Share Price" and such issuances collectively, a "Dilutive Issuance"),
as adjusted hereunder (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price
adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices
or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is issued in
connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at
an effective price per share which is less than the Exercise Price, such
issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price),
then, the Exercise Price shall be reduced by multiplying the Exercise Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus the number of
shares of Common Stock which the offering price for such Dilutive Issuance would
purchase at the then Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the
sum of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock so
issued or issuable in connection with the Dilutive Issuance, the number of
Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate
Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the
Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such
adjustment. Such adjustments shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no
later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable
issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price
and other pricing terms (such notice the "Dilutive Issuance Notice"). For
purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company -------------------------
provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the
occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance
the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base
Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share
Price in the Notice of Exercise.
c) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time prior to the
Termination Date, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to
Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock
(which shall be subject to Section 3(b)), 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 stockholders 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 outstanding share of the Common
Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the
adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holders of the
portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such
subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment
shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective
immediately after the record date mentioned above.
8
d) 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. The
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not
includes shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the
Company, and the description of any such shares of Common Stock shall be
considered on issue or sale of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 3, the
number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a
given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
e) Notice to Holders.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price
is adjusted pursuant to this Section 3, the Company shall promptly
mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after
such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment. If the Company issues a variable rate
security, despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement,
the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise
price at which such securities may be converted or exercised in the
case of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement), or the lowest possible adjustment price in the case of
an MFN Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Xxxxxx. If (A) the Company
shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common
Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash
dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company
shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock
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
stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any
reclassification of the Common Stock, 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, of any compulsory
share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property; (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 addresses 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 Common Stock 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 Common Stock of
record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common
Stock 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. The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the
20-day period commencing the date of such notice to the effective
date of the event triggering such notice.
9
f) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (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 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 (in any such case, a
"Fundamental Transaction"), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this
Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that
would have been issuable upon such exercise absent such Fundamental Transaction,
at the option of the Holder, (a) upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of
shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the
Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Alternate Consideration
receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
event or (b) cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance
with the Black-Scholes option pricing formula (the "Alternate Consideration").
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 share of Common
Stock 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 Common Stock 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. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any
successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction
shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions
and evidencing the Holder's right to exercise such warrant into Alternate
Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (f) and
insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
10
g) Exempt Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments,
Alternate Consideration nor notices shall be made, paid or issued under this
Section 3 in respect of an Exempt Issuance.
h) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. The Company may at any time during the
term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and
for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities
laws and the conditions set forth in Sections 5(a) and 4(d) hereof and to the
provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights
hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant
at the principal office of the Company, 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 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. A Warrant, if properly assigned, 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.
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.
11
d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant
in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant
shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the
Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the
Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company
a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and
scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the
effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder
or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form
and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an
"accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), or
(a)(8) promulgated under the Securities Act or a qualified institutional buyer
as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) Title to Warrant. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to
compliance with applicable laws and Section 4 of this Warrant, this Warrant and
all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or
agency of the Company by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto
properly endorsed. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
b) No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle
the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company
prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price (or by means of a cashless exercise), the
Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such Holder
as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the later of
the date of such surrender or payment.
c) 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 stock certificate, if mutilated,
the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like
tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock
certificate.
d) 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 be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or
such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday.
12
e) Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is
outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock
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 stock 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
Common Stock may be listed.
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 (a) 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, (b) 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 (c)
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.
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.
f) 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.
g) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired
upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions
upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
h) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to
exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of
such right or otherwise prejudice Xxxxxx's rights, powers or remedies,
notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination
Date. 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 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 Holder in collecting any
amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers
or remedies hereunder.
13
i) 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.
j) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any
affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant or purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall
give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock
or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the
Company or by creditors of the Company.
k) Remedies. Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to 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 the
defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
l) 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 of the Company and the successors
and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to
be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant and shall be
enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
m) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions
hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
n) 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.
o) 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.
