UNIT PURCHASE OPTION
FOR THE PURCHASE OF
16,875 UNITS
OF
SAND HILL IT SECURITY ACQUISITION CORP.
1. Unit Purchase Option.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, in consideration of $100 duly paid by or on behalf of
Broadband Capital Management, LLC, (a "Holder"), as registered owner of this
Unit Purchase Option, to Sand Hill IT Security Acquisition Corp. (the
"Company"), Holder is entitled, at any time or from time to time upon the later
of the consummation of a Business Combination or July 25, 2005 (the
"Commencement Date"), and at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, July 25, 2009
(the "Expiration Date"), but not thereafter, to subscribe for, purchase and
receive, in whole or in part, up to Sixteen Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy Five
(16,875) units (the "Units") of the Company, each Unit consisting of one share
of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"),
and two warrants (the "Warrant(s)") expiring five years from the effective date
(the "Effective Date") of the registration statement (the "Registration
Statement") pursuant to which Units are offered for sale to the public (the
"Offering"). Each Warrant is the same as the warrants included in the Units
being registered for sale to the public (the "Public Warrants") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") except that the exercise price of
the Warrants shall be $6.65 per share. If the Expiration Date is a day on which
banking institutions are authorized by law to close, then this Unit Purchase
Option may be exercised on the next succeeding day which is not such a day in
accordance with the terms herein. During the period ending on the Expiration
Date, the Company agrees not to take any action that would terminate the Unit
1
Purchase Option. This Unit Purchase Option is initially exercisable at $7.50 per
Unit so purchased; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any of the
events specified in Section 6 hereof, the rights granted by this Unit Purchase
Option, including the exercise price per Unit and the number of Units (and
shares of Common Stock and Warrants) to be received upon such exercise, shall be
adjusted as therein specified. The term "Exercise Price" shall mean the initial
exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending on the context.
2. Exercise.
(a) Exercise Procedure. In order to exercise this Unit Purchase
Option, the exercise form attached hereto must be duly executed and completed
and delivered to the Company, together with this Unit Purchase Option and
payment of the Exercise Price for the Units being purchased payable in cash or
by certified check or official bank check. If the subscription rights
represented hereby shall not be exercised at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern time,
on the Expiration Date this Unit Purchase Option shall become and be void
without further force or effect, and all rights represented hereby shall cease
and expire.
(b) Legend. Each certificate for the securities purchased under this
Unit Purchase Option shall bear a legend as follows unless such securities have
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"):
"The securities represented by this certificate have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act") or applicable state law. The securities may not
be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Act, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Act and applicable state law."
(c) Cashless Exercise. (i) In lieu of the payment of the Exercise
Price multiplied by the number of Units for which this Unit Purchase Option is
exercisable (and in lieu of being entitled to receive Common Stock and Warrants)
in the manner required by Section 2.(a), the Holder shall have the right (but
not the obligation) to convert any exercisable but unexercised portion of this
Unit Purchase Option into Units (the "Conversion Right") as follows: upon
exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall deliver to the Holder
(without payment by the Holder of any of the Exercise Price in cash) that number
of shares of Common Stock and Warrants comprising that number of Units equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the "Value" (as defined below) of the
portion of the Unit Purchase Option being converted by (y) the Current Market
Value (as defined below). The "Value" of the portion of the Unit Purchase Option
being converted shall equal the remainder derived from subtracting (a) (i) the
Exercise Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Units underlying the portion of
this Unit Purchase Option being converted from (b) the Current Market Value of a
Unit multiplied by the number of Units underlying the portion of the Unit
Purchase Option being converted. As used herein, the term "Current Market Value"
per Unit at any date means the remainder derived from subtracting (x) the
exercise price of the Warrants multiplied by the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants underlying one Unit from (y) the
Current Market Price of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock underlying the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of one Unit. The "Current Market Price" of a share of Common Stock shall mean
(i) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on
the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or NASD OTC Bulletin Board
(or successor such as the Bulletin Board Exchange), the last sale price of the
Common Stock in the principal trading market for the Common Stock as reported by
the exchange, Nasdaq or the NASD, as the case may be; (ii) if the Common Stock
is not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National
Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the NASD OTC Bulletin Board (or successor such
2
as the Bulletin Board Exchange), but is traded in the residual over-the-counter
market, the closing bid price for the Common Stock on the last trading day
preceding the date in question for which such quotations are reported by the
Pink Sheets, LLC or similar publisher of such quotations; and (iii) if the fair
market value of the Common Stock cannot be determined pursuant to clause (i) or
(ii) above, such price as the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine,
in good faith.
(ii) The Cashless Exercise Right may be exercised by the Holder
on any business day on or after the Commencement Date and not later than the
Expiration Date by delivering the Unit Purchase Option with the duly executed
exercise form attached hereto with the cashless exercise section completed to
the Company, exercising the Cashless Exercise Right and specifying the total
number of Units the Holder will purchase pursuant to such Cashless Exercise
Right.
3. Transfer.
(a) Restrictions--General. The registered Holder of this Unit Purchase
Option, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will not sell, transfer,
assign, pledge or hypothecate this Unit Purchase Option for a period of one
hundred eighty (180) days following the Effective Date to anyone other than (i)
Newbridge or I-Bankers or an underwriter or a selected dealer in connection with
the Offering, or (ii) a bona fide officer or partner of Newbridge or I-Bankers
or of any such underwriter or selected dealer. On and after the first
anniversary of the Effective Date, transfers to others may be made subject to
compliance with or exemptions from applicable securities laws. In order to make
any permitted assignment, the Holder must deliver to the Company the assignment
form attached hereto duly executed and completed, together with the Unit
Purchase Option and payment of all transfer taxes, if any, payable in connection
therewith. The Company shall within five business days transfer this Unit
Purchase Option on the books of the Company and shall execute and deliver a new
Unit Purchase Option or Unit Purchase Options of like tenor to the appropriate
assignee(s) expressly evidencing the right to purchase the aggregate number of
Units purchasable hereunder or such portion of such number as shall be
contemplated by any such assignment.
(b) Restrictions--Securities. The securities evidenced by this Unit
Purchase Option shall not be transferred unless and until (i) the Company has
received the opinion of counsel for the Holder that the securities may be
transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act and
applicable state securities laws, the availability of which is established to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Company (the Company hereby agreeing that the
opinion of Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx shall be deemed satisfactory evidence of the
availability of an exemption), or (ii) a registration statement or a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement relating to such
securities has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and compliance with
applicable state securities law has been established.
4. New Purchase Options to be Issued.
(a) Partial Exercise. Subject to the restrictions in Section 3 hereof,
this Unit Purchase Option may be exercised or assigned in whole or in part. In
the event of the exercise or assignment hereof in part only, upon surrender of
this Unit Purchase Option for cancellation, together with the duly executed
exercise or assignment form and funds sufficient to pay any Exercise Price
and/or transfer tax, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder
3
without charge a new Unit Purchase Option of like tenor to this Unit Purchase
Option in the name of the Holder evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase
the number of Units purchasable hereunder as to which this Unit Purchase Option
has not been exercised or assigned.
(b) Loss, Theft, Destruction. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Unit
Purchase Option and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification or the posting of
a bond, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Unit Purchase Option of like
tenor and date. Any such new Unit Purchase Option executed and delivered as a
result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a
substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company.
5. Registration Rights.
(a) Demand Registration.
(i) The Company, upon written demand (the "Initial Demand
Notice") of the Holder(s) of at least 51% of the Unit Purchase Options and/or
the underlying Units and/or the underlying securities (the "Majority Holders"),
agrees to register on one occasion, all or any portion of the Unit Purchase
Options requested by the Majority Holders in the Initial Demand Notice and all
of the securities underlying such Unit Purchase Options, including the Units,
Common Stock, the Warrants and the Common Stock underlying the Warrants
(collectively, the "Registrable Securities"). On such occasion, the Company will
file a registration statement or a post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement covering the Registrable Securities within sixty days after receipt of
the Initial Demand Notice and use its best efforts to have such registration
statement or post-effective amendment declared effective as soon as possible
thereafter. The demand for registration may be made at any time during a period
of five years beginning on the Effective Date. The Company covenants and agrees
to give written notice of its receipt of any Initial Demand Notice by any
Holder(s) to all other registered Holders of the Unit Purchase Options and/or
the Registrable Securities within ten days from the date of the receipt of any
such Initial Demand Notice.
(ii) The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to
registering the Registrable Securities, including the expenses of any legal
counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of
the Registrable Securities, but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting
commissions. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to qualify or
register the Registrable Securities in such states as are reasonably requested
by the Majority Holder(s); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company
be required to register the Registrable Securities in a state in which such
registration would cause (i) the Company to be obligated to qualify to do
business in such state, or would subject the Company to taxation as a foreign
corporation doing business in such jurisdiction or (ii) the principal
stockholders of the Company to be obligated to escrow their shares of capital
stock of the Company. The Company shall cause any registration statement or
post-effective amendment filed pursuant to the demand rights granted under
Section 5.1.1 to remain effective for a period of nine consecutive months from
the effective date of such registration statement or post-effective amendment.
(b) "Piggy-Back" Registration.
(i) In addition to the demand right of registration, the Holders
of the Unit Purchase Options shall have the right for a period of seven years
commencing on the Effective Date, to include the Registrable Securities as part
of any other registration of securities filed by the Company (other than in
connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) promulgated under the
4
Act or pursuant to Form S-8); provided, however, that if, in the written opinion
of the Company's managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, for such
offering, the inclusion of the Registrable Securities, when added to the
securities being registered by the Company or the selling stockholder(s), will
exceed the maximum amount of the Company's securities which can be marketed (i)
at a price reasonably related to their then current market value, and (ii)
without materially and adversely affecting the entire offering, then the Company
will still be required to include the Registrable Securities, but may require
the Holders to agree, in writing, to delay the sale of all or any portion of the
Registrable Securities for a period of 90 days from the effective date of the
offering, provided, further, that if the sale of any Registrable Securities is
so delayed, then the number of securities to be sold by all stockholders in such
public offering during such 90 day period shall be apportioned pro rata among
all such selling stockholders, including all holders of the Registrable
Securities, according to the total amount of securities of the Company owned by
said selling stockholders, including all holders of the Registrable Securities.
(ii) The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to
registering the Registrable Securities, including the expenses of any legal
counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of
the Registrable Securities but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting
commissions related to the Registrable Securities. In the event of such a
proposed registration, the Company shall furnish the then Holders of outstanding
Registrable Securities with not less than fifteen days written notice prior to
the proposed date of filing of such registration statement. Such notice to the
Holders shall continue to be given for each applicable registration statement
filed (during the period in which the Unit Purchase Option is exercisable) by
the Company until such time as all of the Registrable Securities have been
registered and sold. The holders of the Registrable Securities shall exercise
the "piggy-back" rights provided for herein by giving written notice, within ten
days of the receipt of the Company's notice of its intention to file a
registration statement. The Company shall cause any registration statement filed
pursuant to the above "piggyback" rights to remain effective for at least nine
months from the date that the Holders of the Registrable Securities are first
given the opportunity to sell all of such securities.
(c) Damages. Should the registration or the effectiveness thereof
required by Sections 5(a) and 5(b) hereof be delayed by the Company or the
Company otherwise fails to comply with such provisions, the Company shall, in
addition to any other equitable or other relief available to the Holder(s), be
liable for any and all incidental, special and consequential damages sustained
by the Holder(s), including, but not limited to, the loss of any profits that
might have been received by the Holder upon the sale of shares of Common Stock
or Warrants (and shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants) underlying this
Unit Purchase Option.
(d) Indemnification.
(i) The Company shall indemnify the Holder(s) of the Registrable
Securities to be sold pursuant to any registration statement hereunder and each
person, if any, who controls such Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability
(including all reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses reasonably incurred
in investigating, preparing or defending against litigation, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever whether arising out of any action between
the Underwriter and the Company or between the Underwriter and any third party
or otherwise) to which any of them may become subject under the Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration statement but only to
the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions pursuant to which the
Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters contained in Section 5 of the
Underwriting Agreement between the Company, Newbridge and I-Bankers and the
other Underwriters named therein dated the Effective Date. The Holder(s) of the
Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration statement, and
their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the
Company, its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the
5
Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including
all reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which
they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising
from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their successors
or assigns, in writing, for specific inclusion in such registration statement to
the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions contained in Section
5 of the Underwriting Agreement pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed
to indemnify the Company.
(ii) Nothing contained in this Unit Purchase Option shall be
construed as requiring the Holder(s) to exercise their Unit Purchase Options or
Warrants underlying such Unit Purchase Options prior to or after the initial
filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness thereof.
(iii) The Company shall furnish Newbridge and I-Bankers, as
representatives of the Holders participating in any of the foregoing offerings,
a signed counterpart, addressed to the participating Holders, of (i) an opinion
of counsel to the Company, dated the effective date of such registration
statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering,
an opinion dated the date of the closing under any underwriting agreement
related thereto), and (ii) a "cold comfort" letter dated the effective date of
such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten
public offering, a letter dated the date of the closing under the underwriting
agreement) signed by the independent public accountants who have issued a report
on the Company's financial statements included in such registration statement,
in each case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such
registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of
such accountants' letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such
financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel
and in accountants' letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public
offerings of securities. The Company shall also deliver promptly to Newbridge
and I-Bankers, as representatives of the Holders participating in the offering,
the correspondence and memoranda described below and copies of all
correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors
and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with
respect to the registration statement and permit Newbridge and I-Bankers, as
representatives of the Holders, to do such investigation, upon reasonable
advance notice, with respect to information contained in or omitted from the
registration statement as it deems reasonably necessary to comply with
applicable securities laws or rules of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"). Such investigation shall include access to books,
records and properties and opportunities to discuss the business of the Company
with its officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at
such reasonable times and as often as Newbridge and I-Bankers, as
representatives of the Holders, shall reasonably request. The Company shall not
be required to disclose any confidential information or other records to
Newbridge and I-Bankers, as representatives of the Holders, or to any other
person, until and unless such persons shall have entered into reasonable
confidentiality agreements (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company), with the Company with respect thereto.
(iv) The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with
the managing underwriter(s), if any, selected by any Holders whose Registrable
Securities are being registered pursuant to this Section 5, which managing
underwriter shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such agreement shall
be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, each Holder and
such managing underwriters, and shall contain such representations, warranties
and covenants by the Company and such other terms as are customarily contained
6
in agreements of that type used by the managing underwriter. The Holders shall
be parties to any underwriting agreement relating to an underwritten sale of
their Registrable Securities and may, at their option, require that any or all
the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company to or for the
benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such
Holders. Such Holders shall not be required to make any representations or
warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters except as they
may relate to such Holders and their intended methods of distribution. Such
Holders, however, shall agree to such covenants and indemnification and
contribution obligations for selling stockholders as are customarily contained
in agreements of that type used by the managing underwriter. Further, such
Holders shall execute appropriate custody agreements and otherwise cooperate
fully in the preparation of the registration statement and other documents
relating to any offering in which they include securities pursuant to this
Section 5. Each Holder shall also furnish to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method
of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the
registration of the Registrable Securities.
(v) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5 to the
contrary, the Company shall have no obligation pursuant to Sections 5(a) or 5(b)
for the registration of Registrable Securities held by any Holder (i) where such
Holder would then be entitled to sell under Rule 144 within any three-month
period (or such other period prescribed under Rule 144 as may be provided by
amendment thereof) all of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder,
and (ii) where the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder is
within the volume limitations under paragraph (e) of Rule 144 (calculated as if
such Holder were an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144).
(vi) Each Holder agrees, that upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus
included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
light of the circumstances then existing, such Holder will immediately
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Xxxxxx's receipt of
the copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus, and, if so desired by the
Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the
Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of such
destruction) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder's
possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at
the time of receipt of such notice.
6. Adjustments.
(a) Exercise Price and Number of Securities. The Exercise Price and
the number of Units underlying the Unit Purchase Option shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:
(i) If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of
Section 6.3 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased
by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split-up of shares
of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the
number of shares of Common Stock underlying each of the Units purchasable
hereunder shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding
shares. In such case, the number of shares of Common Stock, and the exercise
price applicable thereto, underlying the Warrants underlying each of the Units
purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the
Warrants. For example, if the Company declares a two-for-one stock dividend and
at the time of such dividend this Unit Purchase Option is for the purchase of
one Unit at $7.50 per whole Unit (each Warrant underlying the Units is
exercisable for $2.50 per share), upon effectiveness of the dividend, this Unit
Purchase Option will be adjusted to allow for the purchase of one Unit at $7.50
7
per Unit, each Unit entitling the holder to receive two shares of Common Stock
and four Warrants (each Warrant exercisable for $2.50 per share).
(ii) If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of
Section 6.4, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a
consolidation, combination or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or
other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of shares
of Common Stock underlying each of the Units purchasable hereunder shall be
decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares. In such case,
the number of shares of Common Stock, and the exercise price applicable thereto,
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants included in each of the Units purchasable
hereunder shall be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.
(iii) In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock other than a change covered by Section
6(a)(i) or 6(a)(ii) hereof or that solely affects the par value of such shares
of Common Stock, or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which
the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any
reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock),
or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the
property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in
connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder of this Unit Purchase
Option shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the right of
exercise of this Unit Purchase Option) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for
the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such
event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property
(including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger
or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, by
a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company obtainable upon
exercise of this Unit Purchase Option and the underlying Warrants immediately
prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in
shares of Common Stock covered by Section 6(a)(i) or 6(a)(ii), then such
adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 6(a)(i), 6(a)(ii) and this Section
6(a)(iii). The provisions of this Section 6(a)(iii) shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales
or other transfers.
(iv) This form of Unit Purchase Option need not be changed
because of any change pursuant to this Section, and Unit Purchase Options issued
after such change may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of Units
as are stated in the Unit Purchase Options initially issued pursuant to this
Agreement. The acceptance by any Holder of the issuance of new Unit Purchase
Options reflecting a required or permissive change shall not be deemed to waive
any rights to an adjustment occurring after the Commencement Date or the
computation thereof.
(b) Substitute Unit Purchase Option. In case of any consolidation of
the Company with, or merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result
in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock), the
corporation formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to
the Holder a supplemental Unit Purchase Option providing that the holder of each
Unit Purchase Option then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right
thereafter (until the stated expiration of such Unit Purchase Option) to
receive, upon exercise of such Unit Purchase Option, the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
consolidation or merger, by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of
the Company for which such Unit Purchase Option might have been exercised
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such
supplemental Unit Purchase Option shall provide for adjustments which shall be
8
identical to the adjustments provided in Section 6. The above provision of this
Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers.
(c) Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required to issue
certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock or Warrants upon
the exercise of the Unit Purchase Option, nor shall it be required to issue
scrip or pay cash in lieu of any fractional interests, it being the intent of
the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any
fraction up to the nearest whole number of Warrants, shares of Common Stock or
other securities, properties or rights.
7. Reservation and Listing. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose
of issuance upon exercise of the Unit Purchase Options or the Warrants
underlying the Unit Purchase Option, such number of shares of Common Stock or
other securities, properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise
thereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Unit
Purchase Options and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all shares of
Common Stock and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive
rights of any stockholder. The Company further covenants and agrees that upon
exercise of the Warrants underlying the Unit Purchase Options and payment of the
respective Warrant exercise price therefor, all shares of Common Stock and other
securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any stockholder.
As long as the Unit Purchase Options shall be outstanding, the Company shall use
its best efforts to cause all (i) Units and shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Unit Purchase Options, (iii) Warrants issuable upon exercise of
the Unit Purchase Options and (iv) shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants included in the Units issuable upon exercise of the Unit
Purchase Option to be listed (subject to official notice of issuance) on all
securities exchanges (or, if applicable on the Nasdaq National Market, SmallCap
Market, OTC Bulletin Board or any successor trading market) on which the Units,
the Common Stock or the Public Warrants issued to the public in connection
herewith may then be listed and/or quoted.
8. Certain Notice Requirements.
(a) Right to Notice. Nothing herein shall be construed as conferring
upon the Holders the right to vote or consent as a stockholder for the election
of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a
stockholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of
the Unit Purchase Options and their exercise, any of the events described in
Section 8(b) shall occur, then, in one or more of said events, the Company shall
give written notice of such event at least fifteen days prior to the date fixed
as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination
of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, conversion or
exchange of securities or subscription rights, or entitled to vote on such
proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify
such record date or the date of the closing of the transfer books, as the case
may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall deliver to each Holder
a copy of each notice given to the other stockholders of the Company at the same
time and in the same manner that such notice is given to the stockholders.
(b) Enumerated Events. The Company shall be required to give the
notice described in this Section 8 upon one or more of the following events: (i)
if the Company shall take a record of the holders of its shares of Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution payable
otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise
than out of retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such
9
dividend or distribution on the books of the Company, or (ii) the Company shall
offer to all the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of capital
