SERIES J WARRANT TO PURCHASE
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
OF
BIOFORCE NANOSCIENCES HOLDINGS, INC.
Expires August 31, 2008
No.: X-X-07-___ Number of Shares: _______
Date of Issuance: August 31, 2007
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, BioForce Nanosciences Holdings, Inc.,
a Nevada corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"),
hereby certifies that ________________ or its registered assigns is entitled to
subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to
_______ (_______) shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided, the
"Warrant Share Number") of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
-1-
non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price per share equal
to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the provisions and
upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used in
this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings
specified in Section 9 hereof.
1. Term. The term of this Warrant shall commence on August 31, 2007 and
shall expire at 6:00 p.m., eastern time, on August 31, 2008 (such period being
the "Term").
2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and
Exchange.
(a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised in whole or in part during the Term.
(b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in
whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form
attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the
payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the
Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of
shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised (the "Exercise Price"), payable by certified or official bank check or
by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer.
(c) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of this
Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the
date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable
time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after the Issuer and its transfer
agent have received from the Holder this Warrant, a duly executed exercise form,
the Exercise Price and all fees and expenses required hereby in support of such
exercise (the "Delivery Date") or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a
registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the
Warrant Stock is then in effect), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust
Company ("DTC") account on the Holder's behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission System ("DWAC") no later than the Delivery Date, and the Holder
hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the shares of
Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise. Notwithstanding the
foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be
obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on the Holder's behalf via
DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a sale and the Issuer and its
transfer agent are participating with DTC through the DWAC system. The Holder
shall deliver this original Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with
respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction), along
with a duly executed exercise form, the Exercise Price and all fees and expenses
required hereby in support of such exercise, at such time that this Warrant is
exercised. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Issuer shall
deliver to the Holder by the Delivery Date 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.
-2-
(d) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon
Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer
fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Warrant Stock issuable pursuant to an exercise
(the "Exercise Shares") on or before the Delivery Date and the Issuer or its
transfer agent are solely at fault for such failure, and if after such date the
Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or
otherwise) shares of Common Stock (the "Substitute Shares") to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Exercise Shares (a "Buy-In"), then
the Issuer 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
Substitute Shares exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number
of Exercise Shares by (B) the per share price at which the Holder was to sell
shares of Common Stock in the Buy-In (pursuant to the executed sell order
associated with the Buy-In), and (2) at the option of the Holder, either
reinstate to the Warrant the number of Exercise Shares not transmitted to the
Holder on or before the Delivery Date or deliver the Exercise Shares to the
Holder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total
purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In for the sale of Exercise Shares for
$10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Issuer shall
be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer
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 Issuer. 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 Issuer's failure to timely deliver certificates representing
the Exercise Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(e) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(g) hereof, this
Warrant may be transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, without the consent
of the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may be
transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly
authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of
the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form
attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other
governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at
the principal office of the Issuer for new Warrants to purchase the same
aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the
right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder shall
designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or
exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with
this Warrant except as to the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable
pursuant thereto.
(f) Intentionally Omitted.
(g) Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges
that this Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon
exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder's own account and
not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the
Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any
shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant
to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration,
under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
-3-
(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and
all certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise
hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the
following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR COMPLIANCE WITH AN AVAILABLE
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION. THE COMPANY MAY REFUSE TO AUTHORIZE ANY
TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES IN RELIANCE ON AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNTIL IT HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL,
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION
IS NOT REQUIRED.
THE COMPANY IS AUTHORIZED TO ISSUE MORE THAN ONE CLASS OF STOCK OR
MORE THAN ONE SERIES OF ANY CLASS OF STOCK. THE DESIGNATIONS,
PREFERENCES AND RELATIVE, PARTICIPATING, OPTIONAL OR OTHER SPECIAL
RIGHTS OF THE SHARES OF EACH CLASS OR SERIES THEREOF AND THE
QUALIFICATIONS, LIMITATIONS OR RESTRICTIONS OF SUCH RIGHTS, ARE SET
FORTH IN THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY. A COPY OF
SAID ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION WILL BE FURNISHED FREE OF CHARGE TO
THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY
OF THE COMPANY.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND
THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF
THE COMPANY.
(iii) The Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates
representing any shares of the Warrant Stock without the legend set forth
above, if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such
securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Issuer describing
-4-
the manner and terms of such transfer. Such proposed transfer will not be
effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the
registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required
in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement
under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed
by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become
effective under the Securities Act and the Holder has represented that the
shares of Warrant Stock have been or will be sold, (iii) the Issuer has
received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such
registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state
securities laws are not required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer
with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule
144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Issuer has received
an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the
effect that registration or qualification under the securities or "blue
sky" laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed
disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or "blue
sky" laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect
thereto. The Issuer will respond to any such notice from the Holder within
three (3) Trading Days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this
Section 2(h), the Issuer will use reasonable efforts to comply with any
such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, but shall in no event
be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not
then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to
the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject,
or (z) to comply with state securities or "blue sky" laws of any state for
which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Issuer. The
restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 2(h) shall be in
addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on
transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant. Whenever a
certificate representing the shares of Warrant Stock is required to be
issued to a the Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical
certificates representing the shares of Warrant Stock, the Issuer shall
use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the shares of Warrant Stock to the Holder by
crediting the account of the Holder's prime broker with DTC through its
DWAC system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this
Warrant or the Purchase Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the
contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to
issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on the Holder's behalf via DWAC if
such exercise is in connection with a sale and the Issuer and its transfer
agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system.
(h) Accredited Investor Status. In no event may the Holder exercise this
Warrant in whole or in part unless the Holder is an "accredited investor" as
defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
-5-
3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Stock Fully Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and
agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the
terms of this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through
the Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period
within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have
authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this
Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the
exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Listing. The Issuer shall list the shares of Warrant Stock on the OTC
Bulletin Board (or any other securities exchange, quotation system or market, if
any, on which shares of Common Stock issued by the Company are then listed or
traded), all in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.
(c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without
limitation, amending the Articles of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer,
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other 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 the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically
provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common
Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any
provision of the Articles of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any
manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants,
(iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the
Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions
(other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use
its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from
any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably
necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
(d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such
Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the
right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.
-6-
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares Issuable Upon
Exercise. The Warrant Price and the Warrant Share Number shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall
give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment
pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in
Section 5.
(a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation,
Merger or Sale.
(i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of
the following (each, a "Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate or merge with
or into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or
surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any
other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer
shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such
consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed
into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other
property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or
assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or
reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such
Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made to the Warrant Price and
the Warrant Share Number so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the
manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be
entitled, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of
such Triggering Event (to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior
to such Triggering Event), to receive at the Warrant Price (as adjusted to
take into account the consummation of such Triggering Event), in lieu of
the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such
Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder
would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if
such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant
immediately prior thereto (including the right, if any, of a shareholder
to elect the type of consideration it will receive in connection with the
Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate
action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for
elsewhere in this Section 4. Immediately upon the occurrence of a
Triggering Event, the Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing of such
Triggering Event and provide the calculations in determining the number of
shares of Warrant Stock, if any, issuable upon exercise of the new warrant
and the adjusted Warrant Price. Upon the Holder's request, the continuing
or surviving corporation as a result of such Triggering Event shall issue
to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor, if any, evidencing the right to
purchase the adjusted number of shares of Warrant Stock and the adjusted
Warrant Price pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Section
4(a)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Section
4(a)(i) shall only apply if the surviving entity pursuant to any such
Triggering Event is a company that has a class of equity securities
registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and its common stock is listed or quoted on a national securities
exchange, national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board.
-7-
(ii) In the event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this
Warrant prior to the consummation of a Triggering Event, so long as the
surviving entity pursuant to any Triggering Event is a company that has a
class of equity securities registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and its common stock is listed or quoted on a
national securities exchange, national automated quotation system or the
OTC Bulletin Board, the surviving entity and/or each Person (other than
the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any Securities, cash or
property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall
assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory
to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under
this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such
Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not
release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under
this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to the Holder such
Securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this subsection (a), the Holder shall be entitled to
receive; and the surviving entity and/or each such Person shall have
similarly delivered to the Holder an opinion of counsel for the surviving
entity and/or each such Person, which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to such Holder, or in the alternative, a written
acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief Financial Officer of
the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full
force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all
of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the
Securities, cash or property which the surviving entity and/or each such
Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the
exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.
(b) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the
Issuer shall:
(i) make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in,
or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock,
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares of Common Stock, or
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock,
then (1) the Warrant Share Number immediately after the occurrence of any such
event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a
record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would
own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the
Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price
then in effect multiplied by (B) the Warrant Share Number immediately prior to
the adjustment divided by (B) the Warrant Share Number immediately after such
adjustment.
(c) Certain Other Distributions. If at any time the Issuer shall make or
issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of:
-8-
(i) cash (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or
earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the
laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Issuer),
(ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any
class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other
than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock),
or
(iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any
evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any
other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash,
Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock),
then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Per
Share Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the
denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount
allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of
the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board and supported by an
opinion from an investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the Issuer and
the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock,
other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase
rights so distributable, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be
adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number
of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A
reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from
par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of
Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a
distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of
such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4(c) and, if the
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller
number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change
shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4(b).
(d) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(i) In the event the Issuer shall at any time following the Original
Issue Date issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as
provided in the foregoing subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 4),
at a price per share less than the Warrant Price then in effect or without
consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be
adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price then in
effect by a fraction:
-9-
(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x)
the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately prior
to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (y)
the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole
share) which the aggregate consideration received by the Issuer for
such Additional Shares of Common Stock would purchase at a price per
share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, and
(B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of
shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately after the issuance of
such Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(ii) No adjustment of the Warrant Share Number shall be made under
paragraph (i) of Section 4(d) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares
of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any Common
Stock Equivalents, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made
upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the issuance
of any warrant or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section 4(e).
(e) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If at any time the Issuer shall
take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling
them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or
by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation)
issue or sell, any Common Stock Equivalents, whether or not the rights to
exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per
share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock are issuable upon conversion
or exchange thereof shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately
prior to the time of such issue or sale, or if, after any such issuance of
Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of
Common Stock may be issued thereunder is amended or adjusted, and such price as
so amended shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect at the time of such
amendment or adjustment, then the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted
as provided in Section 4(d). No further adjustments of the Warrant Share Number
and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made upon the actual issue of such
Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.
(f) Superseding Adjustment. If, at any time after any adjustment of the
Warrant Share Number and the Warrant Price then in effect shall have been made
pursuant to Section 4(e) as the result of any issuance of Common Stock
Equivalents, and (i) such Common Stock Equivalents, or the right of conversion
or exchange associated with such Common Stock Equivalents, shall expire, and all
or a portion of such or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all
or a portion of such Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be, shall not
have been exercised, or (ii) the consideration per share for which shares of
Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalents shall be
increased, then such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the
Additional Shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by
virtue of the computation made in connection with such prior adjustment so
rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue
of such computation. Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in this Section
-10-
4(f), there shall be a recomputation made of the effect of such Common Stock
Equivalents on the basis of: (i) treating the number of Additional Shares of
Common Stock theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous
exercise of Common Stock Equivalents or any such right of conversion or
exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of any such exercise and
for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and (ii)
treating any such Common Stock Equivalents which then remain outstanding as
having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the
consideration per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock are issuable
under such Common Stock Equivalents; whereupon a new adjustment of the Warrant
Share Number and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made, which new
adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.
(h) Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The
following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the
Warrant Share Number and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this
Section 4:
(i) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any Additional
Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or
other rights therefor) shall be issued for cash consideration, the
consideration received by the Issuer therefor shall be the amount of the
cash received by the Issuer therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for
subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or
dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial
public offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts paid or
receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without taking
into account any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by
the Issuer for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection
with, the issuance thereof). In connection with any merger or
consolidation in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation (other than
any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock
or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration
therefore shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably
and in good faith by the Board, of such portion of the assets and business
of the nonsurviving corporation as the Board may determine to be
attributable to such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents,
as the case may be. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for
or purchase the same shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for
issuing such warrants or other rights plus the additional consideration
payable to the Issuer upon exercise of such warrants or other rights. The
consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant
to the terms of any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the consideration
received by the Issuer for issuing warrants or other rights to subscribe
for or purchase such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the consideration paid
or payable to the Issuer in respect of the subscription for or purchase of
such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the additional consideration, if any,
payable to the Issuer upon the exercise of the right of conversion or
exchange associated with such Common Stock Equivalents. In the event of
any consolidation or merger of the Issuer in which the Issuer is not the
surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for the
stock or other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any
-11-
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer for stock or
other securities of any corporation, the Issuer shall be deemed to have
issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities or
other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the
actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a
consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such
transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other
corporation. In the event any consideration received by the Issuer for any
securities consists of property other than cash, the fair market value
thereof at the time of issuance or as otherwise applicable shall be as
determined in good faith by the Board. In the event Common Stock is issued
with other shares or securities or other assets of the Issuer for
consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in
this Section 4(h)(i) shall be allocated among such securities and assets
as determined in good faith by the Board.
(ii) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this
Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event
requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the
Warrant Share Number that would otherwise be required may be postponed
(except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the
Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the
date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other
adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent
(1%) of the Warrant Share Number immediately prior to the making of such
adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum
amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward
and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments
required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a
minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any
adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the
close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(iii) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this
Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into
account to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share.
(iv) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Issuer shall take a record
of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and
shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof,
legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution,
subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be
required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment
previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
(i) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not
be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and
kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(j) Escrow of Warrant Stock. If after any property becomes distributable
pursuant to this Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the holders
of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record
is taken, the Holder exercises this Warrant, any shares of Common Stock
-12-
otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant because of an adjustment to the
Warrant Share Number or the Warrant Price resulting from such event shall be
deemed the last shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercised
(notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein) and such shares or
other property shall be held in escrow for the Holder by the Issuer to be issued
to the Holder upon and to the extent that the event actually takes place, upon
payment of the then-current Exercise Price. Notwithstanding any other provision
to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to
occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be cancelled by the
Issuer and escrowed property returned.
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share
Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial
Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail
and to extent such is not material non-public information, the event requiring
the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such
adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the
Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share
Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such
certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each
adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with
respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the
Holder of this Warrant be submitted to a national or regional accounting firm
reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Holder. The firm selected by the
Holder as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a
written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and the Holder within thirty
(30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final
and binding on the parties hereto. The costs and expenses of the initial
accounting firm shall be paid equally by the Issuer and the Holder.
6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued
in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares,
the Issuer shall round the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the
nearest whole number of shares.
7. Ownership Cap and Exercise Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time may the Holder exercise this
Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such
exercise would, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by
the Holder at such time, result in such Holder beneficially owning (as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
thereunder) in excess of 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock; provided, however, that upon the Holder providing the Issuer with
sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 13 hereof) (the "Waiver Notice")
that such Holder would like to waive this Section 7 with regard to any or all
shares of Warrant Stock issuable hereunder, this Section 7 will be of no force
or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Warrant referenced in the
Waiver Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be of no further
force or effect during the sixty-one (61) days immediately preceding the
expiration of the term of this Warrant.
