COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Warrant Shares: | Initial Exercise Date: December 31, 2008 | |
Termination Date: December 31, 2012 |
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 hereof (the
“Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the four year
anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to
subscribe for and purchase from Concentric Energy Corp., a Nevada corporation (the
“Company”), up to shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock. The
purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise
Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the
“Purchase Agreement”), dated December 31, 2008, among the Company and the purchasers
signatory thereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial
Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or
1
such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to
the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of
a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto; and, within 3
Business Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, 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. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this
Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available
hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within 3 Business Days of the date
the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant
resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available
hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares
purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares
purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant
Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to
any Notice of Exercise Form within 1 Business Day of receipt of such notice. In the event
of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and
determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance
of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph,
following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant
Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated
on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this
Warrant shall be $1.00, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the earlier of (i) the one year
anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the completion of the
then-applicable holding period required by Rule 144, or any successor provision then in
effect, there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus
available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be
exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be
entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = | the VWAP on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such election; | ||
(B) = | the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and | ||
(X) = | the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise. |
2
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant
shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c). The
“VWAP” shall mean, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following
clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market,
the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest
preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted for
trading as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Business Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City
time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time); (b) if the OTC Bulletin Board is not a Trading
Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest
preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board; (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or
quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then
reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or
agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share
of the Common Stock so reported; or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share
of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the
Holders of a majority in interest of the Shares then outstanding and reasonably acceptable
to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
d) Exercise Limitations. After such date that the Common Stock is registered
under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall not effect any exercise
of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this
Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such
issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder
(together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group
together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in
excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the
foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder
and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude
the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the
remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of
its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of
any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock
Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set
forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership
shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is
not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed
in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d)
applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this
Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of
a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this
Warrant is exercisable (in
3
relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of
which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the
accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as
contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(d), in
determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) Schedule 3.1(g) to
the Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the
Company or (C) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder,
the Company shall within two Business Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise
of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since
the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The
“Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the
Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior
notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
provisions of this Section 2(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no
event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant
held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall continue to apply. Any
such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such
notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and
implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section
2(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or
inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make
changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this
Warrant.
e) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for
shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the
Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
(“DWAC”) system if the Company is then a participant in such system
and either (A) there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the
resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the shares are eligible
for resale without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule
144, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the
Holder in the Notice of Exercise within 3 Business Days from the delivery to
the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form,
4
surrender of this Warrant (if required) and payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price as set forth above (the “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 (or by cashless exercise, if
permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant
to Section 2(e)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid. If
the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder certificates
evidencing the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares
subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date
of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Business Day (increasing to
$20 per Business Day on the fifth Business Day after such liquidated damages
begin to accrue) for each Business Day after such Warrant Share Delivery
Date until such certificates are delivered.
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant
shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a
Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, 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.
iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the
Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(e)(i) by the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such
exercise.
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver
Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available
to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit
to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant
Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date,
and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in
an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm
otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a
sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated
receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall
(A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total
5
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares
of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying
(1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to
the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at
which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed,
and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the
Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was
not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its
exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with
an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000,
under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be
required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company
written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of
the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such
loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other
remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with
respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to
the terms hereof.
v. 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, at its election,
either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount
equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the
next whole share.
vi. 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
vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its
stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely
exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions
on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in
shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of
Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including
by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of
capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain
unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective
date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as
applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to
purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or
announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition, other than
the extension of the exercise dates of any warrants outstanding at the date hereof) any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common
Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price,
the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive
Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued
shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions,
floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options
or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to
receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the
Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise
Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to
equal the Base Share Price divided by .9. Additionally, the number of Warrant Shares
issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable
hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to
the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. For example, if the number of Warrant
Shares is 10,000 and the Base Share Price of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents is
reduced to $0.45 which as a result would reduce the Base
7
Conversion Price of the Common Stock underlying the Debenture from $0.90 to $0.45, then
the Warrant Exercise Price would be reduced proportionately from $1.00 to $0.45/.9 = $0.50
and contemporaneously the number of Warrant Shares would be increased by a factor of 2, to
20,000 Warrant Shares such the aggregate Exercise Prices before and after the adjustment are
equal ($1.00 * 10,000 = $0.50 * 20,000). Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments
shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 3(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance (as
defined herein). The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the
Business Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject
to this Section 3(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset
price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the
“Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the
Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the
occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is
entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of
whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. For
the purposes of this Warrant, “Exempt Issuance” shall mean an issuance by the Company of
shares or Common Stock or any security exchangeable or convertible into shares of Common
Stock, whether debt or equity or a combination thereof, (i) pursuant to any stock based
incentive plan of the Company existing on the date hereof or approved by the stockholders of
the company after the date hereof or (ii) pursuant to any issued and outstanding option,
warrant or other convertible security or (iii) in connection with or pursuant to any
strategic acquisition, determined in good faith by the company, the terms of which have been
negotiated on an arm’s length basis with an unaffiliated third party.
c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time while the Warrant
is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and
not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price per share less than the VWAP at the record date mentioned below, then, the Exercise
Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants
plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase,
and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on
the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the
aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the
Company in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or
warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights
or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.
d) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of the
Warrants) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock
(which shall be subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be
8
adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record
date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a
fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date
mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the
then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or
evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common
Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments
shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or
evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share
of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and
shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
(i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one
or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by
the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property or (iv)
the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for
other securities, cash or property (each “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any
subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each
Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a
result of such 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. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be
appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of
Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental
Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate
Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different
components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice
as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the
Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any
exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to
effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in
such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the
foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into
Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity
to comply with the provisions of this Section 3(e) and insuring that this Warrant (or any
such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction
analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary and after
such date that the Common Stock is quoted or listed for
9
trading on a Trading Market, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an
all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the
Exchange Act, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a
national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or
the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company or any successor entity shall pay at the Holder’s
option, exercisable at any time concurrently with or within 30 days after the consummation
of the Fundamental Transaction, an amount of cash equal to the value of this Warrant as
determined in accordance with the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV”
function on Bloomberg L.P. using (A) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the VWAP of
the Common Stock for the Business Day immediately preceding the date of consummation of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction, (B) the risk-free interest rate corresponding to the
U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date
of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) an expected volatility equal
to the 100 day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as
of the Business Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date
of the public announcement of such transaction and the Termination Date.
f) Purchase of Debentures by Founder. The Company has agreed to accept as
payment of the Subscription Amount for the purchase of a Debenture by its founder, Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx, marketable securities at an amount equal to the aggregate VWAP of the respective
securities on the trading day preceding the Closing Date, or at up to a 12% discount to
their aggregate VWAP, at the sole discretion of the Company, (such ultimate valuation being
referred to as the “Aggregate VWAP Price”). If the aggregate realized price from
the sale of such securities net of any execution costs or trading commissions (the
“Actual Aggregate Sales Price”), which sales will occur over a period of not more
than 120 days from the Closing Date, (i) exceeds the Aggregate VWAP Price, Xx. Xxxxxxx shall
be issued a Warrant to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 200% of
the difference between the Actual Aggregate Sales Price and the Aggregate VWAP Price divided
by $0.90, with an exercise price equal to $1.00, subject to adjustment therein, or (ii) is
less than the Aggregate VWAP Price, Xx. Xxxxxxx shall be issued in exchange for his original
Warrant a new Warrant to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 200% of
the Actual Aggregate Sales Price divided by $0.90, with an exercise price equal to $1.00,
subject to adjustment therein.
g) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the
nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this
Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a
given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury
shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
h) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is
adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall
promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after
10
such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment. If the Company enters into a Variable Rate
Transaction, despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the
Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which
such securities may be converted or exercised.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Xxxxxx. If (A) the Company
shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the
Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash
dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall
authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of
any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be
required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any
consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the
voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be
mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant
Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable
record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the
date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be
entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are
to be determined; (y) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to
become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that
holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their
shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange; or (z) the date on which termination of the
Warrant shall be effective; provided that the failure to mail such notice or
any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity
of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder
is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the
date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering or
described in such notice.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant; Right of First Refusal.
a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws
and the conditions set forth in Sections 4(d) and 4(e) hereof and to the provisions of
Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including,
11
without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated
agent, 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, as applicable, 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. The Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder
for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants. 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 4(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. 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 Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to
be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name
of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the
registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any
exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual
notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer Restrictions. 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
either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale
without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require,
as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as
the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
e) Right of First Refusal to Purchase Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, in the event that the Holder of this Warrant desires to sell or
transfer this Warrant to a third party other than an Affiliate for consideration or receives
a bona fide written offer from a third party other than an Affiliate for the purchase of
this Warrant, Holder shall provide the Company with written notice of such intent at least
15 Business Days prior to the intended date of transfer (“Transfer Notice”). The
Transfer Notice shall describe all of the material terms of such intended transfer,
12
including without limitation, the name of the intended purchaser, the amount and type
of consideration to be paid and the intended closing date. The Company shall have the right,
exercisable within 10 Business Days of the date of the Transfer Notice, to notify the Holder
that it intends to purchase the Warrant in accordance with this Section 4(e). In the event
that the Company elects to exercise its right of first refusal hereunder, the purchase price
shall be at a price equal to the purchase price set forth in the Transfer Notice plus a 10%
premium to such price. Payment of the purchase price and the purchase of this Warrant by the
Company shall otherwise be made in compliance with the terms sets forth in the Transfer
Notice.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the
Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the
exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(e)(i).
b) 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.
c) 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 not be
a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next
succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it
will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of
shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any
purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance
of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with
the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under
this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary
to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading
Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. 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
13
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company
shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of
incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of 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 (i) 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, (ii) 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 (iii) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.
g) 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 Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that
all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and
knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material
damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient
to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due
pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
14
h) 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.
i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any
affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to 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.
j) 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 and not to assert the defense in any action for
specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant
and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The
provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to
time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof
waived with the written consent of the Company and Holders holding Warrants at least equal
to 67% of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of all then outstanding Warrants.
m) 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.
n) 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.
