If any portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price is to be paid by a Series C Extinguishment of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, then, on the date on which such shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been delivered to the Company for cancellation in accordance Section 8 of the Certificate of Designations governing the Series C Preferred Stock and all other conditions with respect thereto set forth in Section 8(b) of such Certificate of Designations have been satisfied, an amount equal to the Setoff Price for such shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been paid in respect of such portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price. If any portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price is to be paid in cash, then such portion will be deemed to have been paid on the date on which such cash is actually received by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Setoff Price for any shares of Series C Preferred Stock that are extinguished pursuant to a Series C Extinguishment is less than the Aggregate Strike Price due in respect of the
- 12 -
exercise of any Warrant, then the shortfall must be paid in cash or by a Series C Extinguishment of additional share(s) of Series C Preferred Stock.
(3)Exercise Permitted only During Business Hours. Warrants may be surrendered for Exercise only after the Open of Business and before the Close of Business on a day that is a Business Day that occurs during the Exercise Period.
(ii)When Holders Become Stockholders of Record of the Shares of Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise. The Person in whose name any share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of any Warrant will be deemed to become the holder of record of such share as of the Close of Business on the Exercise Date for such exercise.
(d)Settlement upon Exercise.
(i)Settlement Method. Upon the exercise of any Warrant, the Company will settle such exercise by paying or delivering, as applicable and as provided in this Section 5(d), shares of Common Stock, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of fractional shares, in the amounts set forth in either (x) Section 5(d)(ii)(1) (a “Physical Settlement”); or (y) Section 5(d)(ii)(2) (a “Cashless Settlement”), subject to Section 5(d)(v). The Settlement Method applicable to the exercise of any Warrant will be the Settlement Method set forth in the Optional Exercise Notice for such exercise, subject to Section 5(d)(v).
(ii)Exercise Consideration. Subject to Section 5(d)(iii), Section 5(g), Section 5(h) and Section 7(b), the consideration due upon settlement of the exercise of each Warrant will consist of the following:
(1)Physical Settlement. If Physical Settlement applies to such exercise, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Warrant Entitlement in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Exercise Date for such exercise; or
(2)Cashless Settlement. If Cashless Settlement applies to such exercise, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the greater of (x) zero; and (y) an amount equal to:
where:
WE = the Warrant Entitlement in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Exercise Date for such exercise;
VP = the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date for such exercise; and
SP = the Strike Price in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Exercise Date.
(iii)Payment of Cash in Lieu of any Fractional Share of Common Stock. Subject to Section 7(b), in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise due upon exercise of any Warrant, the Company will pay cash based on the
- 13 -
Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date for such exercise (or, if such Exercise Date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day).
(iv)Delivery of Exercise Consideration. Except as provided in Sections 5(e)(i)(3)(B), 5(e)(i)(5) and 5(g)(i)(C), the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Exercise Consideration due upon exercise of any Warrant on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the Exercise Date for such exercise.
(v)No Cashless Settlement if any Shares of Series C Preferred Stock Remain Outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, Cashless Settlement of any Warrant will not be permitted unless and until no shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement remain outstanding.
(e)Strike Price and Warrant Entitlement Adjustments.
(i)Events Requiring an Adjustment to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement. Each of the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement will be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(1)Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5(g) will apply), then each of the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement will be adjusted based on the following formulas:
and
where:
SP0 = the Strike Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before the Open of Business on the effective date of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable;
SP1 = the Strike Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable;
WE0 = the Warrant Entitlement in effect immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable;
- 14 -
WE1 = the Warrant Entitlement in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable;
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination; and
OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination.
If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 5(e)(i)(1) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then each of the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement, respectively, that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.
(2)Rights, Options and Warrants. If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which Section 5(e)(i)(3)(A) and Section 5(e)(vi) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the Record Date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then each of the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement will be adjusted based on the following formulas:
and
where:
SP0 = the Strike Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
SP1 = the Strike Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
- 15 -
WE0 = the Warrant Entitlement in effect immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
WE1 = the Warrant Entitlement in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
OS = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
Y = a number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants by (y) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced; and
X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants.
To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, each of the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement will be readjusted to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement, respectively, that would then be in effect had the adjustment thereto for such distribution been made on the basis of only the rights, options or warrants, if any, actually distributed. In addition, to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement will be readjusted to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement, respectively, that would then be in effect had the adjustment thereto for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants.
For purposes of this Section 5(e)(i)(2), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(3)Spin-Offs and Other Distributed Property.
(A)Distributions Other than Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:
(I)dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Strike Price and the Warrant
- 16 -
Entitlement is required (or would be required without regard to Section 5(e)(iii)) pursuant to Section 5(e)(i)(1) or 5(e)(i)(2);
(II)dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement is required (or would be required assuming the Dividend Threshold were zero and or would be required without regard to Section 5(e)(iii)) pursuant to Section 5(e)(i)(4);
(III)rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 5(e)(vi);
(IV)Spin-Offs for which an adjustment to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement is required (or would be required without regard to Section 5(e)(iii)) pursuant to Section 5(e)(i)(3)(B);
(V)a distribution solely pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, as to which Section 5(e)(i)(5) will apply; and
(VI)a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5(g) will apply,
then each of the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement will be adjusted based on the following formulas:
and
where:
SP0 = the Strike Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
SP1 = the Strike Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
WE0 = the Warrant Entitlement in effect immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
WE1 = the Warrant Entitlement in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
- 17 -
P = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and
FMV = the fair market value (as determined by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner), as of such Ex-Dividend Date, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants distributed per share of Common Stock pursuant to such distribution;
provided, however, that, if FMV is equal to or greater than P, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustments to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement, each Holder will receive, for each Warrant held by such Holder on the Record Date for such distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants that such Holder would have received in such distribution if such Holder had owned, on such Record Date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Warrant Entitlement in effect on such Record Date.
To the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, each of the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement will be readjusted to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement, respectively, that would then be in effect had the adjustment thereto been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
(B)Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes or dividends shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to an Affiliate or Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to (x) a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5(g) will apply; or (y) a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, as to which Section 5(e)(i)(5) will apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interests are listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then each of the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement will be adjusted based on the following formulas
- 18 -
and
where:
SP0 = the Strike Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off;
SP1 = the Strike Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
WE0 = the Warrant Entitlement in effect immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
WE1 = the Warrant Entitlement in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
P = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for each Trading Day in the Spin-Off Valuation Period; and
FMV = the product of (x) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share or unit of the Capital Stock or equity interests distributed in such Spin-Off over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spin-Off Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, such Ex-Dividend Date (such average to be determined as if references to Common Stock in the definitions of “Last Reported Sale Price,” “Trading Day” and “Market Disruption Event” were instead references to such Capital Stock or equity interests); and (y) the number of shares or units of such Capital Stock or equity interests distributed per share of Common Stock in such Spin-Off.
The adjustment to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement pursuant to this Section 5(e)(i)(3)(B) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off, with retroactive effect. If any Warrant is exercised and the Exercise Date for such exercise occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such exercise until the second (2nd) Business Day after the Last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period.
To the extent any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 5(e)(i)(3)(B) is declared but not made or paid, each of the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement will be readjusted to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement, respectively, that would then be in effect had
- 19 -
the adjustment thereto been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
(4)Cash Dividends or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend that does not exceed the Dividend Threshold per share of Common Stock), then each of the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement will be adjusted based on the following formulas:
and
where:
SP0 = the Strike Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
SP1 = the Strike Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
WE0 = the Warrant Entitlement in effect immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
WE1 = the Warrant Entitlement in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
P = the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date;
D = the cash amount distributed per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution; and
T = an amount (subject to the proviso below, the “Dividend Threshold”) initially equal to $0.24 per share of Common Stock; provided, however, that (x) if such dividend or distribution is not a regular quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock, then the Dividend Threshold will be deemed to be zero ($0.00) per share of Common Stock with respect to such dividend or distribution; and (y) the Dividend Threshold will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Strike Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 5(e)(i)(1);
provided, however, that, if D is equal to or greater than P, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustments to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement, each Holder will receive, for each Warrant held by such Holder on the Record Date for
- 20 -
such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received in such dividend or distribution if such Holder had owned, on such Record Date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Warrant Entitlement in effect on such Record Date. To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, each of the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement will be readjusted to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement, respectively, that would then be in effect had the adjustment thereto been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
(5)Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act), and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then each of the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement will be adjusted based on the following formulas:
and
where:
SP0 = the Strike Price in effect immediately before the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires;
SP1 = the Strike Price in effect immediately after the Expiration Time;
WE0 = the Warrant Entitlement in effect immediately before the Expiration Time;
WE1 = the Warrant Entitlement in effect immediately after the Expiration Time;
P = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date;
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time (including all shares of Common Stock
- 21 -
accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
AC = the aggregate value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) of all cash and other consideration paid for shares of Common Stock purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange offer; and
OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (excluding all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
provided, however, that the Strike Price will in no event be adjusted up, and the Warrant Entitlement will in no event be adjusted down, pursuant to this Section 5(e)(i)(5), except to the extent provided in the last paragraph of this Section 5(e)(i)(5).
The adjustment to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement pursuant to this Section 5(e)(i)(5) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. If any Warrant is exercised and the Exercise Date for such exercise occurs on the Expiration Date or during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such exercise until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period.
To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, each of the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement will be readjusted to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement, respectively, that would then be in effect had the adjustment thereto been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.
(ii)No Adjustments in Certain Cases.
(1)Where Holders Participate in the Transaction or Event Without Exercising. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5(e)(i), the Company is not required to adjust the Strike Price or the Warrant Entitlement for a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to Section 5(e)(i) (other than a stock split or combination of the type set forth in Section 5(e)(i)(1) or a tender or exchange offer of the type set forth in Section 5(e)(i)(5)) if each Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and solely by virtue of being a Holder of the Warrants, in such transaction or event without having to exercise such Holder’s Warrants and as if such Holder had owned, on the Record Date for such transaction or event, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Warrant
- 22 -
Entitlement in effect on such Record Date; and (ii) the number of Warrants held by such Holder on such Record Date.
(2)Certain Events. The Company will not be required to adjust the Strike Price or the Warrant Entitlement except pursuant to Section 5(e)(i). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be required to adjust the Strike Price or the Warrant Entitlement on account of:
(A)except as otherwise provided in Section 5(e)(i), the sale of shares of Common Stock for a purchase price that is less than the market price per share of Common Stock or less than the Strike Price;
(B)the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any such plan;
(C)the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
(D)the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or convertible or exchangeable security of the Company outstanding as of the Initial Issue Date; or
(E)solely a change in the par value of the Common Stock.
(iii)Adjustment Deferral. If an adjustment to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement otherwise required by this Warrant Agreement would result in a change of less than one percent (1%) to the Strike Price, then the Company may, at its election, defer such adjustment to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement, except that all such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest of the following: (1) when all such deferred adjustments would result in a change of at least one percent (1%) to the Strike Price; and (2) the Exercise Date of any Warrant.
(iv)Adjustments Not Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, if:
(1)a Warrant is exercised;
(2)the Record Date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Strike Price pursuant to Section 5(e)(i) has occurred on or before the Exercise Date for such exercise, but an adjustment to the Strike Price or the Warrant Entitlement for such event has not yet become effective as of such Exercise Date;
(3)the Exercise Consideration due upon such exercise includes any whole shares of Common Stock; and
(4)such shares are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related Record Date or otherwise),
- 23 -
then, solely for purposes of such exercise, the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Exercise Date. In such case, if the date on which the Company is otherwise required to deliver the Exercise Consideration due upon such exercise is before the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such exercise until the second (2nd) Business Day after such first date.
(v)Adjustments Where Exercising Holders Participate in the Relevant Transaction or Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, if:
(1)an adjustment to the Strike Price or the Warrant Entitlement for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to Section 5(e)(i);
(2)a Warrant is exercised;
(3)the Exercise Date for such exercise occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related Record Date;
(4)the Exercise Consideration due upon such exercise includes any whole shares of Common Stock based on a Strike Price or Warrant Entitlement that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and
(5)such shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution (including pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii)),
then such adjustment will not be given effect for such exercise and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise based on such unadjusted Strike Price and unadjusted Warrant Entitlement will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution, but there will be added, to the Exercise Consideration otherwise due upon such exercise, the same kind and amount of consideration that would have been delivered in such dividend or distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares been entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.
(vi)Stockholder Rights Plans. If any shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon exercise of any Warrant and, at the time of such exercise, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Warrant will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the consideration otherwise due upon such exercise, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock at such time, in which case, and only in such case, the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement will be adjusted pursuant to Section 5(e)(i)(3)(A) on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section 5(e)(i)(3)(A) to all holders of Common Stock, subject to potential readjustment in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 5(e)(i)(3)(A).
(vii)Determination of the Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of Section 5(e)(i), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time will (1) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock; and (2) exclude shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in its treasury).
- 24 -
(viii)Rounding of Calculations. All calculations with respect to the Strike Price and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest cent (with half of one cent rounded upwards), and all calculations with respect to the Warrant Entitlement and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).
(f)Voluntary Adjustments.
(i)Generally. To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) decrease the Strike Price by any amount, or increase the Warrant Entitlement by any amount, if (1) the Board of Directors determines that such decrease or increase, as applicable, is in the Company’s best interest or that such decrease or increase, as applicable, is advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Common Stock or any similar event; (2) such decrease or increase, as applicable, is in effect for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days; and (3) such decrease or increase, as applicable, is irrevocable during such period.
(ii)Notice of Voluntary Adjustment. If the Board of Directors determines to decrease the Strike Price or increase the Warrant Entitlement pursuant to Section 5(f)(i), then, no later than the first Business Day of the related twenty (20) Business Day period referred to in Section 5(f)(i), the Company will send notice to each Holder (with a copy to the Exercise Agent) of such decrease or increase, as applicable, quantifying the amount thereof and stating the period during which such decrease or increase, as applicable, will be in effect.
(g)Effect of Common Stock Change Event.
(i)Generally. If there occurs any:
(1)recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock, other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value or (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities;
(2)consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company;
(3)sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person; or
(4)other similar event,
and, as a result of which, the Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such other securities, cash or property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or
- 25 -
other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement,
(A)from and after the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, (I) the consideration due upon exercise of any Warrant will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Section 5 or in Section 6, or in any related definitions, were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units;
(B)if such Reference Property Unit includes, but does not consist entirely of, cash (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that clause (C) below will apply instead of this clause (B) if such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash), then, from and after the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, there will be deducted or removed, as applicable, from the Aggregate Strike Price otherwise payable to exercise any Warrant pursuant to Section 5(c)(i), and from the cash that would otherwise be included in the Exercise Consideration due, pursuant to Section 5(d), to settle such exercise, in each case pursuant to Physical Settlement, a cash amount, per Warrant, equal to the product of (I) the Warrant Entitlement on the Exercise Date for such exercise; and (II) the lesser of (x) the Strike Price on the Exercise Date for such exercise; and (y) the amount of cash included in such Reference Property Unit;
(C)if such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash, then (I) from and after the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, no delivery of the Aggregate Strike Price will be required to exercise any Warrant; and (II) the Company will settle each exercise of any Warrant whose Exercise Date occurs on or after the date of the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event by paying, on or before the tenth (10th) Business Day immediately after such Exercise Date, cash in an amount, per Warrant, equal to the product of (I) the Warrant Entitlement; and (II) the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of cash included in such Reference Property Unit over (y) the Strike Price (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the amount set forth in this clause (II) will be zero if the amount set forth in clause (x) is not greater than the amount set forth in clause (y)); and
(D)for these purposes, the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).
If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per share of Common Stock, by the holders of Common Stock. The Company will notify the Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. For the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of a Common Stock Change Event will not, in itself, impact a Holder’s ability
- 26 -
to deliver the Aggregate Strike Price by Series C Extinguishment pursuant to Section 5(c)(i)(2) of shares of Series C Preferred Stock that are then outstanding.
(ii)Execution of Supplemental Instruments. On or before the date the Common Stock Change Event becomes effective, the Company and, if applicable, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver such supplemental instruments, if any, as the Company reasonably determines are necessary or desirable (which supplemental instruments will, for the avoidance of doubt, not require the consent of any Holder) to (y) provide for subsequent adjustments to the Strike Price and the Warrant Entitlement pursuant to Section 5(e)(i) in a manner consistent with this Section 5(g) (including giving effect, in the Company’s reasonable discretion, to the Dividend Threshold in a manner that reflects the nature and value of the Reference Property Unit); and (z) contain such other provisions, if any, as the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders and to give effect to Section 5(g)(i). If the Successor Person is not the Company, or the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets (other than cash) of a Person other than the Successor Person, then the Company will cause such Successor Person or Person, as applicable, to execute and deliver a joinder to this Warrant Agreement assuming the obligations of the Company under this Warrant Agreement, or the obligation to deliver such Reference Property upon exercise of the Warrants, as applicable.
(iii)Notice of Common Stock Change Event. The Company will provide notice of each Common Stock Change Event to Holders no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the effective date of the Common Stock Change Event.
(h)Restriction on Exercise.
(i)Limitation on Exercise Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, unless and until the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained, no shares of Common Stock will be issued or delivered upon Exercise of any Warrant of any Holder, and no Warrant of any Holder will be Exercisable, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such issuance, delivery, Exercise or exercisability would result in such Holder, or a “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) that includes such Holder, beneficially owning in excess of nineteen and nine tenths percent (19.9%) of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power thereof. (For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence will not impair the right of any Holder to Exercise a number of Warrants, and be issued or take delivery of the shares of Common Stock, at any time or from time to time so long as its beneficial ownership is at the time of such Exercise, issuance and delivery less than or equal to nineteen and nine tenths percent (19.9%) of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock regardless of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that are otherwise underlying the Warrants held by such Holder or “person” or “group” that includes such Holder.) For these purposes, beneficial ownership and calculations of percentage ownership will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.
Section 6.Certain Provisions Relating to the Issuance of Common Stock.
(a)Equitable Adjustments to Prices. Whenever this Warrant Agreement requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate or an adjustment to the Strike Price), the Company will make appropriate adjustments, if any, to those calculations to account for any
- 27 -
adjustment to the Strike Price pursuant to Section 5(e)(i) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Strike Price where the Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or Expiration Date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period.
(b)Reservation of Shares of Common Stock. At all times when any Warrant is outstanding, the Company will reserve (out of its authorized and not outstanding shares of Common Stock that are not reserved for other purposes), for delivery upon exercise of the Warrants, a number of shares of Common Stock that would be sufficient to settle the exercise of all Warrant(s) then outstanding (assuming, for these purposes, that each such Warrant is settled by the delivery of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the then-applicable Warrant Entitlement).
(c)Status of Shares of Common Stock; Covenant Regarding Par Value. Each share of Common Stock delivered upon exercise of any Warrant of any Holder will be a newly issued or treasury share and will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of such Holder or the Person to whom such share of Common Stock will be delivered). If the Common Stock is then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, then the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such share of Common Stock, when so delivered, to be admitted for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system. The Company will not engage in any transaction or take any action that would cause the Strike Price to be less than the par value per share of Common Stock.
(d)Taxes Upon Issuance of Common Stock. The Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant of any Holder, except any tax or duty that is due because such Holder requests those shares to be registered in a name other than such Xxxxxx’s name.
Section 7.Calculations.
(a)Responsibility; Schedule of Calculations. Except as otherwise provided in this Warrant Agreement, the Company will be responsible for making all calculations called for under this Warrant Agreement or the Warrants, including determinations of the Strike Price and the Last Reported Sale Prices. The Company will make all calculations in good faith, and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on all Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of such calculations to any Holder upon written request.
(b)Calculations Aggregated for Each Holder. The composition of the Exercise Consideration due upon exercise of any Warrant of any Holder will be computed based on the total number of Warrants of such Holder being exercised with the same Exercise Date. Any cash amounts due to such Holder in respect thereof will, after giving effect to the preceding sentence, be rounded to the nearest cent.
Section 8.Miscellaneous.
(a)Notices.
(i)Notices to Holders. All notices or communications required to be made to a Holder pursuant to this Warrant Agreement must be made in writing and will be deemed to be duly sent or given in writing if (1) mailed by first class mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to its address shown on the Register; or (2) transmitted by facsimile or by electronic transmission or other similar means of unsecured electronic communication to
- 28 -
the facsimile or electronic address, as applicable, of such Holder shown on the Register, provided receipt of such facsimile or electronic transmission or communication is acknowledged. The failure to send a notice or communication to a Holder, or any defect in such notice or communication, will not affect its sufficiency with respect to any other Holder.
(ii)Notice Effectiveness. If a notice or communication is mailed or sent in the manner provided above in this Section 8(a) within the time prescribed, it will be deemed to have been duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it (except to the extent, but only to the extent, acknowledgement of receipt is expressly required by this Section 8(a)).
(b)Stamp and Other Taxes The Company will be responsible for paying all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar taxes that arise from any payment or issuance made under, from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Warrant Agreement, except any such tax that is due because a Holder requests any shares of Common Stock due upon exercise of any Warrant of such Holder to be registered in a name other than such Holder’s name.
(c)Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT AND THE WARRANTS, AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT OR THE WARRANTS, WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE COMPANY AND EACH HOLDER (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF ANY WARRANT) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT, THE WARRANTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT OR THE WARRANTS.
(d)Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Warrant Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Warrant Agreement may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the courts of the State of New York, in each case located in the City of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of court) to such party’s address set forth in Section 8(a) will be effective service of process for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each of the Company and each Holder (by its execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement or by its acceptance of any Warrant) irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim any such suit, action or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
(e)No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. Neither this Warrant Agreement nor the Warrants may be used to interpret any other agreement of the Company or its Subsidiaries or of any other Person, and no such other agreement may be used to interpret this Warrant Agreement or the Warrants.
(f)Successors; Benefits of Warrant Agreement. All agreements of the Company in this Warrant Agreement and the Warrants will bind its successors. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Warrant Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and for the Holders, as such, from time to time, and nothing in this Warrant Agreement, or anything that may be
- 29 -
implied from any provision of this Warrant Agreement, will confer on any other Person any right, claim or remedy.
(g)Severability. If any provision of this Warrant Agreement or the Warrants is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Warrant Agreement or the Warrants will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
(h)Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Warrant Agreement. Each signed copy will be an original, and all of them together represent the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Warrant Agreement by facsimile, electronically in portable document format or in any other format will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.
(i)Table of Contents, Headings, Etc. The table of contents and the headings of the Sections and sub-Sections of this Warrant Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Warrant Agreement and will in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions of this Warrant Agreement.
(j)Withholding Taxes. Each Holder of a Warrant agrees that if the Company or other applicable withholding agent pays withholding taxes or backup withholding on behalf of such Holder or beneficial owner as a result of an adjustment or the non-occurrence of an adjustment to the Strike Price or the Warrant Entitlement, then the Company or such withholding agent, as applicable, may, at its option, set off such payments against payments of cash or the delivery of other Exercise Consideration on such Warrant, any payments on the Common Stock or sales proceeds received by, or other funds or assets of, such Holder or the beneficial owner of such Warrant.
(k)Entire Agreement. This Warrant Agreement, including all Exhibits hereto, together with the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Certificate of Designations governing the Series C Preferred Stock constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the specific subject matter covered hereby and thereby, and supersedes in their entirety all other agreements or understandings between or among the parties with respect to such specific subject matter.
(l)No Other Rights. The Warrants will confer no rights to the Holders thereof except as provided in this Warrant Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the operation of Sections 5(e)(v), 5(e)(ii)(1) and 5(c)(ii), and the provisos to Sections 5(e)(i)(3)(A) and 5(e)(i)(4), the Warrants will not confer to the Holders thereof any rights as stockholders of the Company.
