2. Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Holder shall be entitled during the Exercise Period to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part. Such exercise shall be effected by:
(a) the surrender of this Warrant, together with the subscription form in the form attached hereto executed by the Holder, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal office (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder hereof in writing), which may be by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission); and
(b) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased, payable at the option of the Holder, (i) in cash by payment in United States dollars by wire transfer to the Company or by check to the order of the Company or (ii) by net exercise pursuant to Section 3 below).
3. Net Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (as the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to exercise this Warrant through a net exercise as provided in this Section. In such event, the Holder shall receive shares equal to the net value (as determined below) of the Shares subject to this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with the subscription form in the form attached hereto executed by the Holder (as provided in Section 2 above), and the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Shares computed using the following formula:
X | = | Y (A-B) A | ||||
Where | X | = | the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder | |||
Y | = | the number of Shares then purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation) | ||||
A | = | the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (at the date of such calculation) | ||||
B | = | Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation) |
Upon any such exercise, if a balance of purchasable shares remains after such exercise, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder hereof a new Warrant for such balance of shares. No fractional shares arising out of the above formula for determining the number of shares issuable in such exchange shall be issued, and the Company shall in lieu thereof make payment to the Holder hereof of cash in the amount of such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of Common Stock. Any tax liability related to such transaction shall be paid by the Holder.
3
4. Certificates for Shares. Upon the exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event within five trading days of the delivery of the subscription form and payment of the Exercise Price or such longer period as it may take Company’s transfer agent to deliver such certificates as long as the Company uses reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s transfer agent to deliver such certificates as soon as practicable.
5. Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants that it will reserve and keep available such number of authorized shares of its Common Stock, free from all preemptive rights with respect thereto, which will be sufficient to permit the exercise of this Warrant for the full number of shares specified herein. The Company further covenants that the shares of Common Stock, when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Combinations. If the Company shall at any time during the Exercise Period combine (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately decreased. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price payable per Share, but the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 6(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the combination becomes effective.
(b) Subdivisions, Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any time during the Exercise Period (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution with respect to Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price payable per Share, but the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 6(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, distribution or subdivision becomes effective.
(c) Reclassification, Reorganization, Merger and Consolidation. In case of any reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation or other change in the Common Stock of the Company (other than as provided for in Sections 6(a) and (b) above), then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation or other change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the
4
Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant, so that such Holder shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total Exercise Price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation or other change by a holder of the same number of Shares as were purchasable by the Holder of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation or other change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities or property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to Exercise Price payable hereunder, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.
(d) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made to the number or kind of Shares or other securities or property purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or to the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event, of the number of Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and of the Exercise Price.
7. Notices of Record Date. In case:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution or to receive any other right;
(b) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation in which holders of the Common Stock are to receive stock, securities or property of another corporation; or
(c) of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten days prior to the date therein specified.
8. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the Company shall in lieu thereof make payment to the Holder hereof of cash in the amount of such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise of this Warrant.
5
9. No Stockholder Rights. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, including (without limitation) the right to vote such shares, receive dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be notified of shareholder meetings, and except as expressly provided herein such Holder shall not be entitled to any notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company.
10. Exchange of Warrant. Subject to any restriction upon transfer set forth in this Warrant, this Warrant may be exchanged for another Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of Shares. Any Holder desiring to exchange this Warrant shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender, properly endorsed, this Warrant to be so exchanged.
11. Mutilated or Missing Warrant. In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue and deliver in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant and indemnity or bond, if requested, also reasonably satisfactory to the Company. An applicant for such substitute Warrant shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.
12. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes (other than any income taxes or other similar taxes, which shall be the responsibility of the Holder), if any, attributable to the initial issuance of this Warrant and the issuance of Shares (or any other securities or property) upon the exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any Transfer of this Warrant or any Shares (or other securities or property) issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.
13. Transfer of Warrant; Compliance with the Securities Act.
(a) This Warrant shall be Transferable on the books of the Company only upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by his duly authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, the original power of attorney, duly approved, or an official copy thereof, duly certified shall be deposited with the Company. In case of Transfer by executors, administrators, guardians or other legal representatives, duly authenticated evidence of their authority shall be produced, and may be required to be deposited with the Company in its discretion. Upon any registration of Transfer, the Company shall deliver a new Warrant or Warrants to the person entitled thereto.
