COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
TO PURCHASE _________ SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF
SYNOVA HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC.
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the "Warrant") CERTIFIES that, for
value received, _____________________ (the "Holder"), is entitled, upon the
terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter
set forth, at any time on or after the date of issuance of this Warrant (the
"Initial Exercise Date") and on or prior to the two year anniversary of the
Initial Exercise Date (the "Termination Date"), but not thereafter, to subscribe
for and purchase from Synova Healthcare Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), up to _________________________ (_________) shares (the "Warrant
Shares") of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the
"Common Stock"). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock (the "Exercise
Price") under this Warrant shall be $3.00. The Exercise Price and the number of
Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is exercisable shall be subject to
adjustment as provided herein. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated the date hereof among the Company
and the purchasers signatory thereto.
1. Title to Warrant. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to
compliance with applicable laws and Section 7 of this Warrant, this Warrant and
all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or
agency of the Company by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto
properly endorsed. No transfer will be effective hereunder unless, and until,
the transferee signs an investment letter in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Company.
2. Authorization of Shares. The Company covenants that all Warrant
Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other
than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issue).
3. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant
may be made at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or
before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed
facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto (or such other
office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the
registered Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the
Company); provided, however, within 5 Trading Days of the date said Notice of
Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Holder shall have surrendered this
Warrant to the Company and the Company shall have received payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or
cashier's check drawn on a United States bank. Certificates for shares purchased
hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder within 3 Trading Days from the
delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this
Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above ("Warrant
Share Delivery Date"). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on
the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall
be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to
be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such
shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by
payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid
by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 5 prior to the issuance of such
shares, have been paid.
(b) If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing
Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder
to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new
Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
(c) Subject to the provisions of this Section 3, if (and every
time) (i) the Closing Price of the Common Stock for each of twenty (20)
consecutive Trading Days, exceeds $6.00 per share (subject to appropriate
adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock
combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after
the date of the Purchase Agreement) and (ii) a registration statement has been
filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC covering the Warrant
Shares, the Company may, within four (4) Trading Days of such period, call for
redemption of all or any portion of this Warrant at a price of $0.01 per Warrant
for which a Notice of Exercise has not yet been delivered (such right, a
"Call"). To exercise this right, the Company must deliver to the Holder an
irrevocable written notice (a "Call Notice"), indicating therein the portion of
unexercised portion of this Warrant to which such notice applies. If the
conditions set forth below for such Call are satisfied from the period from the
date of the Call Notice through and including the Call Date (as defined below),
then any portion of this Warrant subject to such Call Notice for which a Notice
of Exercise shall not have been received from and after the date of the Call
Notice will be redeemed at 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifteenth
(15th) Trading Day after the date the Call Notice is received by the Holder
(such date, the "Call Date") at a redemption price of $.01. Any unexercised
portion of this Warrant to which the Call Notice does not pertain will be
unaffected by such Call Notice. In furtherance thereof, the Company covenants
and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Exercise with respect to Warrant
Shares subject to a Call Notice that are tendered from the time of delivery of
the Call Notice through 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date. The
parties agree that any Notice of Exercise delivered following a Call Notice
shall first reduce to zero the number of Warrant Shares subject to such Call
Notice prior to reducing the remaining Warrant Shares available for purchase
under this Warrant. For example, if (x) this Warrant then permits the Holder to
acquire 100 Warrant Shares, (y) a Call Notice pertains to 75
Warrant Shares, and (z) prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date
the Holder tenders a Notice of Exercise in respect of 50 Warrant Shares, then
(1) on the Call Date the right under this Warrant to acquire 25 Warrant Shares
will be automatically redeemed, (2) the Company, in the time and manner required
under this Warrant, will have issued and delivered to the Holder 50 Warrant
Shares in respect of the exercises following receipt of the Call Notice, and (3)
the Holder may, until the Termination Date, exercise this Warrant for 25 Warrant
Shares (subject to adjustment as herein provided and subject to subsequent Call
Notices). Subject again to the provisions of this Section 3(c), the Company may
deliver subsequent Call Notices for any portion of this Warrant for which the
Holder shall not have delivered a Notice of Exercise.
4. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled
to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by
the Exercise Price.
5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant
Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax
or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all
of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates
shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be
directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for
Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder,
this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the
Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may
require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it
for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
6. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books
or records in any manner which unreasonably prevents the timely exercise of this
Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
7. Transfer, Division and Combination.
(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and
the conditions set forth in Sections 1 and 7(e) hereof and to the provisions of
Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company, together with a written assignment of this
Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable
upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such
payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the
name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations
specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a
new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this
Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be
exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a
new Warrant issued.
(b) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants
upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a
written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are
to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to
compliance with Section 7(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such
division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or
combined in accordance with such notice.
(c) The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own
expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this
Section 7.
(d) The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office, books
for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
(e) If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection
with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be
registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or
transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written
opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope
customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that
such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act and
under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or
transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and
substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an
"accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), or
(a)(8) promulgated under the Securities Act or a qualified institutional buyer
as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
8. No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise. This Warrant does not
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or by means of a cashless exercise, if
applicable), the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued
to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on
the later of the date of such surrender or payment.
9. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company
covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock
certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in
the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated,
the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like
tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock
certificate.
10. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for
the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be
taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday,
Sunday or legal holiday.
11. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or
Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital,
reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another
corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there
is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company),
or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms
of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition
of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or
any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature
whatsoever
(including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or
in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("Other
Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock
of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon
exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor
or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor
or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the
due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and
condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all
the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may
be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares
for which this Warrant is exercisable, which shall be as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 11. For purposes of
this Section 11, "common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation" shall
include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to
dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which
is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of
indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or
exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a
specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other
rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of
this Section 11 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.
12. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company may at any time
during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any
amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors
of the Company.
13. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or
number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company
shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the number of
Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other
securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by
which such adjustment was made.
14. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other
distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its
indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or
property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the
Company to, another corporation or entity or, (c) there shall be a voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in any
one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at least 10
days' prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected
for such dividend, distribution or right
or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 10 days' prior written notice
of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the
foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which the holders of Common
Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the
amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the
time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to exchange their securities for securities or other property
deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each
such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder at the
last address of Xxxxxx appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in
accordance with Section 16(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a failure to give
notice hereunder shall not in any manner invalidate or affect any otherwise
valid corporate actions taken by the Company.
15. Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period the
Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common
Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full
authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock
certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. Except and
to the extent waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any
action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms
and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not
increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor
upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body
having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform
its obligations under this Warrant. Before taking any action which would result
in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such
authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary
from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
16. Miscellaneous.
(a) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction,
validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(b) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares
acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have
restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws and set
forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(c) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or
failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a
waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Xxxxxx's rights, powers or remedies,
notwithstanding all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date.
(d) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or
permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be
delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(e) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence
of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant or purchase
Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder,
shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common
Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by
the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(f) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to
exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be
entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company
agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and
hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a
remedy at law would be adequate.
(g) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws
and Section 7(e) hereof, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced
hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the
Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of
this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all valid Holders from time
to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by any such valid Holder of
Warrant Shares.
(h) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the
provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
(i) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this
Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or
invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
(j) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the
convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part
of this Warrant.
