upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions
hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the day beginning six months
after the date of the Purchase Agreement (the "Initial Exercise Date") and on or
prior to the fifth anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the "Termination
Date") but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Riviera Tool

"Common Stock"). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock (the "Exercise
Price") under this Warrant shall be $____ subject to adjustment hereunder. The
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is
exercisable shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein. CAPITALIZED TERMS
USED AND NOT OTHERWISE DEFINED HEREIN SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS SET FORTH IN THAT
CERTAIN SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (THE "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), DATED MARCH
16, 2004, AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE PURCHASERS SIGNATORY THERETO.
1
1. Title to Warrant. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to
compliance with applicable laws and Section 7 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.
2. Authorization of 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).
3. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) 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 (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) of a duly
executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto;
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 of immediately available funds or cashier's check drawn on a
United States bank. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall
be delivered to the Holder within 5 Trading Days from the latest to
occur of (X) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form
by facsimile copy, (Y) surrender of this Warrant and (Z) payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price, each as set forth above ("Warrant Share
Delivery Date"). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on
the later of the date the Notice of Exercise is delivered to the
Company by facsimile copy and 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 payment to
the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by
the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 5 prior to the issuance of such
shares, have been paid. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a
certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to
this Section 3(a) by the third Trading Day following the Warrant Share
Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such
exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if
the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise by
the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if
after such day 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
2
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.
(b) 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.
(c) The Holder shall not have the right to exercise any
portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 3(a) 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 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 3(c), 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
3
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
3(c) 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 3(c), 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-Q or Form 10-K, 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.
(d) 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 at such
time, 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 Closing Price 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.
4. 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.
5. 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
4
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.
6. 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.
7. Transfer, Division and Combination.
(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws
and the conditions set forth in Sections 1 and 7(e) 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.
(b) 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
7(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) The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own
expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under
this Section 7.
(d) The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office,
books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the
Warrants.
(e) 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
5
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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares.
(a) Stock Splits, etc. The number and kind of securities
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of
any of the following. In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in
shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock
to holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares,
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its
capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, then the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be
entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other
securities of the Company which it would have owned or have been
entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised in advance thereof.
Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number of Warrant Shares or
other securities of the Company which are purchasable hereunder, the
Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of Warrant
Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at an
Exercise Price per Warrant Share or other security obtained by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing by the number of
6
Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company that are purchasable
pursuant hereto immediately after such adjustment. An adjustment made
pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the
effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any,
for such event.
(b) Anti-Dilution Provisions. Until the first anniversary of
the Initial Exercise Date, the Exercise Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 11(b). In the
event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein
results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded
up or down to the nearest cent.
(i) Adjustment of Exercise Price. If and whenever the
Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Section
11(b)(ii) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares
of Common Stock for an effective consideration per share of
less than the then Exercise Price or for no consideration
(such lower price, the "Base Share Price" and such issuances
collectively, a "Dilutive Issuance"), then, the Exercise Price
shall be reduced to equal such Base Share Price. Such
adjustment shall be made whenever shares of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents are issued.
(ii) Effect on Exercise Price of Certain Events. For
purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under
Section 11(b) hereof, the following will be applicable:
(A) Issuance of Rights or Options.
If the Company in any manner issues or grants any
warrants, rights or options, whether or not
immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to
purchase Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
(such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are hereinafter
referred to as "Options") and the effective price per
share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the
exercise of such Options is less than the Exercise
Price ("Below Base Price Options"), then the maximum
total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of all such Below Base Price Options
(assuming full exercise, conversion or exchange of
Common Stock Equivalents, if applicable) will, as of
the date of the issuance or grant of such Below Base
Price Options, be deemed to be outstanding and to
have been issued and sold by the Company for such
price per share and the maximum consideration payable
to the Company upon such exercise (assuming full
exercise, conversion or exchange of Common Stock
Equivalents, if applicable) will be deemed to have
been received by the Company. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, the "effective price per share
for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise
of such Below Base Price Options" is determined by
dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or
receivable by the Company as consideration for the
issuance or granting of all such Below Base Price
Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration, if any, payable to the
Company upon the exercise of all such Below Base
7
Price Options, plus, in the case of Common Stock
Equivalents issuable upon the exercise of such Below
Base Price Options, the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration payable upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof at the time such
Common Stock Equivalents first become exercisable,
convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum
total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of all such Below Base Price Options
(assuming full conversion of Common Stock
Equivalents, if applicable). No further adjustment to
the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of
such Below Base Price Options or upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of Common Stock Equivalents
issuable upon exercise of such Below Base Price
Options.
(B) Issuance of Common Stock
Equivalents. If the Company in any manner issues or
sells any Common Stock Equivalents, whether or not
immediately convertible (other than where the same
are issuable upon the exercise of Options) and the
effective price per share for which Common Stock is
issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange
is less than the Exercise Price, then the maximum
total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such
Common Stock Equivalents will, as of the date of the
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, be deemed
to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by
the Company for such price per share and the maximum
consideration payable to the Company upon such
exercise (assuming full exercise, conversion or
exchange of Common Stock Equivalents, if applicable)
will be deemed to have been received by the Company.
For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the
"effective price per share for which Common Stock is
issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange"
is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if
any, received or receivable by the Company as
consideration for the issuance or sale of all such
Common Stock Equivalents, plus the minimum aggregate
amount of additional consideration, if any, payable
to the Company upon the exercise, conversion or
exchange thereof at the time such Common Stock
Equivalents first become exercisable, convertible or
exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of all such Common Stock
Equivalents. No further adjustment to the Exercise
Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such
Common Stock upon exercise, conversion or exchange of
such Common Stock Equivalents.
(C) Change in Option Price or
Conversion Rate. If there is a change at any time in
(i) the amount of additional consideration payable to
the Company upon the exercise of any Options; (ii)
the amount of additional consideration, if any,
payable to the Company upon the exercise, conversion
or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents; or (iii)
the rate at which any Common Stock Equivalents are
convertible into
8
or exchangeable for Common Stock (in each such case,
other than under or by reason of provisions designed
to protect against dilution), the Exercise Price in
effect at the time of such change will be readjusted
to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect
at such time had such Options or Common Stock
Equivalents still outstanding provided for such
changed additional consideration or changed
conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold.
(D) Calculation of Consideration
Received. If any Common Stock, Options or Common
Stock Equivalents are issued, granted or sold for
cash, the consideration received therefor for
purposes of this Warrant will be the amount received
by the Company therefor, before deduction of
reasonable commissions, underwriting discounts or
allowances or other reasonable expenses paid or
incurred by the Company in connection with such
issuance, grant or sale. In case any Common Stock,
Options or Common Stock Equivalents are issued or
sold for a consideration part or all of which shall
be other than cash, the amount of the consideration
other than cash received by the Company will be the
fair market value of such consideration, except where
such consideration consists of securities, in which
case the amount of consideration received by the
Company will be the fair market value (closing bid
price, if traded on any market) thereof as of the
date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Options or
Common Stock Equivalents are issued in connection
with any merger or consolidation in which the Company
is the surviving corporation, the amount of
consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair
market value of such portion of the net assets and
business of the non-surviving corporation as is
attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Common
Stock Equivalents, as the case may be. The fair
market value of any consideration other than cash or
securities will be determined in good faith by an
investment banker or other appropriate expert of
national reputation selected by the Company and
reasonably acceptable to the holder hereof, with the
costs of such appraisal to be borne by the Company.
(E) Exceptions to Adjustment of
Exercise Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
adjustment will be made under this Section 11(b) in
respect of an Exempt Issuance.
(iii) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. No
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of
less than 1% of the Exercise Price in effect at the time such
adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any such
lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made
at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment
which, together with any adjustments so carried forward, shall
amount to not less than 1% of such Exercise Price.
9
12. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition
of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its
capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the
Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or
distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, transfer
or otherwise dispose of its property, assets or business to another corporation
and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor
or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or
property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or
purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or
acquiring corporation ("Other Property"), are to be received by or distributed
to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive, 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 Other
Property 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. In
case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or
disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the
Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance
of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and
observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder,
subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in
good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to
provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable
which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided
for in this Section 12. For purposes of this Section 12, "common stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of
any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class
of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall
also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities
which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either
immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a
specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase
any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12 shall similarly
apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations
or disposition of assets.
13. Voluntary Adjustment by the 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.
14. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number
or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall
give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the number of
Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other
securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by
which such adjustment was made.
10
15. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of
its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a
dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or
purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any
class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other
right, or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the
Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock
of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or
any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the
property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation or,
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall promptly give to the
Holder written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected for
such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in
respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation,
sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of
any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale,
transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, written notice of
the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the
foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which any such record is to
be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, the date on
which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend,
distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date
on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale,
transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place
and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common
Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Warrant Shares for securities or other
property deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder
at the last address of Xxxxxx appearing on the books of the Company and
delivered in accordance with Section 17(d).
16. 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
11
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.
17. Miscellaneous.
(a) 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.
(b) 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.
(c) 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 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.
(d) 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.
(e) 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.
12
(f) 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.
(g) 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.
(h) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the
provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and
the Holder.
(i) 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.
(j) 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.
