X.X. XXXXXXXXX CORPORATION
FORM OF
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Date of Issuance: November 25, 2002
|
Certificate No. ____________ |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, X.X. Xxxxxxxxx Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby
grants to _________ or its registered assigns (the “Registered Holder”) the right to
purchase from the Company
____________ shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the Exercise Price.
This Warrant is one of several warrants (collectively, the “Series 1 Warrants”) issued by the
Company to certain investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to the letter agreement, dated as of
November 25, 2002 (the “Letter Agreement”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in
Section 4 and capitalized terms used in this Warrant but not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Letter Agreement. The amount and kind of securities obtainable
pursuant to the purchase rights granted hereunder and the purchase price for such securities are
subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions contained in this Warrant.
This Warrant is subject to the following provisions:
Section 1. Exercise of Warrant. (a) Exercise Period. The Registered Holder
may exercise, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), the purchase
rights represented by this Warrant at any time and from time to time after the Date of Issuance to
and including the fifth anniversary of the earlier of (i) the issuance of warrants under the
Purchase Agreement or (ii) termination of the Purchase Agreement prior to the closing thereunder
(the “Exercise Period”).
(a) Exercise Procedure. (i) This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised when
the Company has received all of the following items (the “Exercise Time”):
(A) a completed Exercise Agreement, as defined in Section 1(c), executed by the
Person exercising all or part of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant (the
“Purchaser”);
(B) this Warrant;
(C) if this Warrant is not registered in the name of the Purchaser, an Assignment or
Assignments in the form set forth in Exhibit I evidencing the assignment of this
Warrant to the Purchaser, in which case the Registered Holder shall have complied with the
provisions set forth in Section 6; and
(D) either (1) a check payable to the Company in an amount equal to the product of the
Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon such
exercise (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”), or (2) a written notice to the Company that the
Purchaser is exercising the Warrant (or a portion thereof) by authorizing the Company to
withhold from issuance a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of the
Warrant that when multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Stock is equal to the
Aggregate Exercise Price (which withheld shares shall no longer be issuable under this
Warrant).
(ii) Certificates for shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
delivered by the Company to the Purchaser within five Business Days after the date on which the
Exercise Time occurs. Unless this Warrant has expired or all of the purchase rights represented
hereby have been exercised, the Company shall prepare a new Warrant, substantially identical
hereto, representing the purchase rights formerly represented by this Warrant that have not expired
or been exercised and shall within such five-Business Day period deliver such new Warrant to the
Person designated for delivery in the Exercise Agreement.
(iii) The Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been
issued to the Purchaser at the Exercise Time, and the Purchaser shall be deemed for all purposes to
have become the record holder of such Common Stock as of the Exercise Time.
(iv) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be made without charge to the Registered Holder or the Purchaser for any issuance tax in
respect thereof if issued to the Registered Holder or other cost incurred by the Company in
connection with such exercise and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock. Each share of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall upon payment of the Exercise Price
therefor, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all liens and charges with respect to the
issuance thereof.
(v) The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of this Warrant or of any share
of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in any manner that interferes
with the timely and proper exercise of this Warrant.
(vi) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant
is to be made in connection with a registered public offering or the sale of the Company, the
exercise of any portion of this Warrant may, at the election of the holder hereof, be conditioned
upon the consummation of the public offering or sale of the Company in which case such exercise
shall not be deemed to be effective until the consummation of such transaction.
(vii) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Series
1 Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding
Series 1 Warrants. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all
such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any law or governmental
regulation applicable to the Company or any requirements of any
2
domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for
official notice of issuance that shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such
issuance). The Company shall not take any action that would cause the number of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved
hereunder for issuance upon exercise of the Series 1 Warrants.
(c) Exercise Agreement. Upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Exercise Agreement
shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit II (the “Exercise Agreement”),
except that if the shares of Common Stock are not to be issued in the name of the Person in whose
name this Warrant is registered, the Exercise Agreement shall also state the name of the Person to
whom the certificates for the shares of Common Stock are to be issued, and if the number of shares
of Common Stock to be issued does not include all the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder,
it shall also state the name of the Person to whom a new Warrant for the unexercised portion of the
purchase rights hereunder is to be delivered. Such Exercise Agreement shall be dated the actual
date of execution thereof.
(d) Fractional Shares. If a fractional share of Common Stock would be issuable upon
exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, the Company shall, unless prohibited
by any agreement to which the Company is a party, within five Business Days after the date on which
the Exercise Time occurs, deliver to the Purchaser a check payable to the Purchaser in lieu of such
fractional share in an amount equal to the difference between Current Market Price of such
fractional share as of the date on which the Exercise Time occurs and the Exercise Price of such
fractional share.
Section 2. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. In order to prevent
dilution of the purchase rights granted under this Warrant, the Exercise Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2, and the number of shares of
Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time as provided in this Section 2.
(a) The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(i) In case the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance (A)
pay a dividend or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities into
Common Stock, (B) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares of Common Stock, (C) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, or (D) otherwise issue by reclassification of the shares of Common
Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then, and in each such case, the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such action and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of this Warrant shall
be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company upon
exercise of this Warrant which such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after
the happening of any of the events described above had such Warrant been exercised immediately
prior to the happening of such event or the record date therefor, whichever is earlier. An
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2(a)(i) shall become applicable (x) in the case of
any such dividend or distribution, immediately after the close of business on the record date for
the determination of
3
holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and (y) in
the case of any such subdivision, reclassification or combination, at the close of business on the
day upon which such corporate action becomes effective. Such adjustment shall be made
successively.
(ii) In case the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance
declare, order, pay or make a dividend or other distribution (including without limitation any
distribution of stock or other securities, evidences of indebtedness, property or assets or rights
or warrants to subscribe for securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) on its Common
Stock (other than (A) regular quarterly dividends payable in cash or (B) dividends or distributions
of shares of Common Stock referred to in Section 2(a)(i)) (any one of the foregoing other
than the items specified in clause (A) or (B) referred to as “Securities or Assets”), then and in
each such case, unless the Company elects to reserve shares or other units of such Securities or
Assets for distribution to the holders of the Series 1 Warrants upon the exercise of such Series 1
Warrants so that any such holder exercising its Series 1 Warrants will receive upon such exercise,
in addition to the shares of the Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, the amount and kind
of such Securities or Assets which such holder would have received if such holder had, immediately
prior to the record date for the distribution of the Securities or Assets, exercised its Warrant
for Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that such Exercise Price shall equal the
price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such
distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of the Common
Stock on such record date less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board in good
faith) of the portion of the capital stock or assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or
of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator
shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on such record date; provided,
however, that if the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the
Securities or Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater
than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned above, in lieu of
the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of the Series 1
Warrants shall have the right to receive the amount and kind of Securities or Assets which such
holder would have received had such holder exercised its Warrant immediately prior to the record
date for the distribution of the Securities or Assets. Such adjustment shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
distribution.
(iii) In case the Company shall issue or sell any Common Stock (or rights, Options, warrants
or other Convertible Securities) (collectively, “Additional Shares”) at any time after the date
hereof until November 25, 2005 without consideration or for a consideration per share (or having a
exercise, exchange or exercise price per share) (such per share amount, the “Sale Price”) less than
the greater of (A) the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date preceding the
earlier of the issuance or public announcement of the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock and (B) the Exercise Price as of the date of such issuance of shares (or, in the case of
Convertible Securities, less than the greater of the Current Market Price or the Exercise Price, as
the case may be, as of the date of issuance of the rights, Options, warrants or other securities in
respect of which shares of Common Stock were issued) then, and in each such case, the Exercise
Price shall be reduced to an amount determined by multiplying (A) the Exercise Price in effect on
the day immediately prior to such date by (B) a fraction, the
4
numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such sale or issuance multiplied by the greater of (a) the then applicable
Exercise Price per share and (b) the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date
preceding the earlier of the issuance or public announcement of the issuance of such Additional
Shares of Common Stock (the greater of (a) and (b) above hereinafter referred to as the “Adjustment
Price”) and (2) the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company for the total number of
shares of Common Stock so issued (or into or for which the rights, Options, warrants or other
securities are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable), and the denominator of which shall equal
to the product of (I) the sum of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such sale or issue and (y) the number of additional shares of Common Stock
issued (or into or for which the rights, Options, warrants or other securities may be converted,
exercised or exchanged), multiplied by (II) the Adjustment Price. In case any portion of the
consideration to be received by the Company shall be in a form other than cash, the fair market
value of such noncash consideration shall be utilized in the foregoing computation. Such fair
market value shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Upon each such
adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Shares of Common Stock acquirable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common
Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing
the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. An adjustment made
pursuant to this subsection (iii) shall be made on the next Business Day following the date on
which any such issuance is made and shall be effective retroactively to the close of business on
the date of such issuance. For purposes of this subsection (iii), the aggregate consideration
receivable by the Company in connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock or of rights,
warrants or other Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of the aggregate
offering price (before deduction of underwriting discounts or commissions and expenses payable to
third parties) of all such Common Stock, rights, warrants and Convertible Securities plus the
aggregate amount (as determined on the date of issuance), if any, payable upon exercise or exercise
of any such rights, warrants and Convertible Securities into shares of Common Stock. If,
subsequent to the date of issuance of such right, warrants or other Convertible Securities, the
conversion or exercise price thereof is reduced, such aggregate amount shall be recalculated and
the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be adjusted retroactively to give effect to such reduction. On the expiration of any
option or the termination of any right to convert or exchange any securities into Additional
Shares, the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased to the Exercise
Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination (but taking
into account other adjustments or potential made following the time of issuance of such Options or
securities) had such option or security, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such
expiration or termination, never been issued and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be correspondingly adjusted. If Common Stock is sold as a unit
with other securities, the aggregate consideration received for such Common Stock shall be deemed
to be net of the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith) of such
other securities. The issuance or reissuance of (A) any shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants
or other Convertible Securities (whether treasury shares or newly issued shares) (1) pursuant to a
dividend or distribution on, or subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the outstanding
5
shares of Common Stock requiring an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to subsection
(i) of this Section 2(a); (2) pursuant to any restricted stock or stock option plan or
program of the Company involving the grant of Options or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock
after the date hereof to directors, officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (3)
pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or Convertible Security outstanding as of the Date of
Issuance; (4) pursuant to any securities issued to a bank or other similar financial institution
solely in connection with the Senior Credit Facility and the Senior Subordinated Credit Facility;
or (5) pursuant to an underwritten offering registered with the SEC if the offering price is
greater than the Exercise Price then in effect; (B) the Preferred Stock and any shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof, or (C) the Series 1 Warrants and any shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, shall not be deemed to constitute an issuance of
Common Stock or Convertible Securities by the Company to which this subsection (iii) applies. No
adjustment shall be made pursuant to this subsection (iii) in connection with any transaction to
which Section 2(b) applies.
(iv) For purposes of this Section 2(a), the number of shares of Common Stock at any
time outstanding shall not include any shares of Common Stock then owned or held by or for the
account of the Company.
(v) All calculations of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be made
to the nearest one one-hundredth of a cent. Anything in this Section 2(a) to the contrary
notwithstanding, (A) the Company shall not be required to give effect to any adjustment in the
Exercise Price unless and until the net effect of one or more adjustments (each of which shall be
carried forward), determined as above provided, shall have resulted in a reduction of the Exercise
Price of at least 1%, and when the cumulative net effect of more than one adjustment so determined
shall be to reduce the Exercise Price by at least 1%, such reduction in Exercise Price shall
thereupon be given effect and (B) in no event shall the then current Exercise Price be increased as
a result of any calculation made at any time pursuant to this Section 2(a).
(b) (i) In case of any capital reorganization or reclassification of outstanding shares of
Common Stock (other than a reclassification to which Section 2(a)(i) shall apply), or in
case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person (as defined below),
or in case of any sale or conveyance to another Person of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which share exchange the shares of Common
Stock are converted into other securities, cash or other property (each of the foregoing being
referred to as a “Transaction”), this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for, in lieu of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise prior to consummation of such Transaction, the
kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable (including cash)
upon the consummation of such Transaction by a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock into
which the Warrant was exercisable for immediately prior to such Transaction (including, on a pro
rata basis, the cash, securities or property received by holders of Common Stock in any tender or
exchange offer that is a step in such Transaction).
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company will not effect
any Transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, (A) the Surviving Person shall agree
that the Series 1 Warrants shall be treated as provided in paragraph (i) of this Section
2(b) and the agreements governing such Transaction shall so provide and (B) the
6
Surviving Person thereof shall assume, by written instrument mailed, by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, to each holder of the Series 1 Warrants at such holder’s address as it appears in
the records of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such holder such cash or other securities
to which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder is entitled and such Surviving
Person shall have mailed, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of the Series 1
Warrants at such holder’s address as it appears in the records of the Company, and an opinion of
independent counsel for such Person stating that such assumption agreement is a valid, binding and
enforceable agreement of the Surviving Person.
(c) In any case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this
Section 2 with respect to rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series 1
Warrants to the end that the provisions set forth herein for the protection of the purchase rights
of the Series 1 Warrants shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, to any
such other shares of stock and other securities (other than the Common Stock) and property
deliverable upon exercise of the Series 1 Warrants remaining outstanding with such adjustments in
the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this
Warrant and such other adjustments in the provisions hereof as the Board of Directors shall in good
faith determine to be appropriate. In case securities or property other than Common Stock shall be
issuable or deliverable upon exercise as aforesaid, then all references in this Section 2
shall be deemed to apply, so far as appropriate and as nearly as may be, to such other securities
or property.
(d) If the Company shall pay any dividend or make any other distribution to the holders of its
Common Stock (other than regularly quarterly dividends payable in cash) or shall offer for
subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any
class or any other right, or there shall be any Transaction, or there shall be a voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then, in any one or more of said
cases the Company shall give at least 15 days prior written notice to the holders of the Series 1
Warrants by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at their respective addresses as they shall appear
in the records of the Company of the earlier of the dates on which (i) the books of the Company
shall close or a record shall be taken for such stock dividend, distribution or subscription rights
or (ii) such Transaction, dissolution, liquidation or winding up shall take place. Such notice
shall also specify that date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record shall
participate in said dividend, distribution of subscription rights or shall be entitled to exchange
their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance or participate in such dissolution,
liquidation or winding up, as the case may be. Failure to give such notice shall not invalidate
any action so taken.
Section 3. Reports as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in
Section 2(a) that would result in any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each
such case, the Company shall promptly deliver by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at their
respective addresses as they shall appear in the records of the Company, a certificate signed by
the President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary
or an Assistant Secretary of the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the
adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the
7
Exercise Price then in effect and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon
exercise of the Series 1 Warrants following such adjustment. Where appropriate, such notice to the
