Exhibit 4.3
WARRANT AGREEMENT
FLORIDINO'S INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC. ("Floridino's"), hereby grants and
issues pursuant to the terms of the engagement of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx by Floridino's
(the "Engagement"), FORTY THOUSAND (40,000) COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS (the
"Warrants"), each of which entitles the holder thereof to purchase one (1)
shares of its common stock (hereafter the "Warrant Shares") to:
XXXXX XXXXXXX
or his duly designated assigns or transferees (hereafter the "Warrant Holder"),
subject to the following rights, privileges and restrictions:
1. TERM. The foregoing Warrants shall be effective for a period of five (5)
Years commencing December 19, 2000 and expiring on October 18, 2005 (the
"Exercise Period").
2. EXERCISE PRICE AND PARTIAL EXERCISE RIGHTS. The Warrants shall be exercisable
at any time during the Exercise Period, in the sole discretion of the Warrant
Holder. The exercise price of each fully vested Warrant shall be $4.125 per
share. The Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to
the expiration of the Exercise Period except that any partial exercise shall be
in the minimum amount of One Thousand (1,000) Warrants by the Warrant Holder. In
the event that a partial exercise is made by the Warrant Holder, this Warrant
Agreement shall be endorsed by Floridino's to reflect the date and number of
Warrants exercised and to state the number of Warrant Shares remaining available
hereunder.
3. TRANSFERABILITY. At anytime after the date hereof, the Warrants may be sold,
transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, at the Warrant Holders sole
discretion and for such consideration as the Warrant Holder may deem
appropriate. No such transfer or assignment of these Warrants shall be made in
amounts of less than One Thousand (1,000) Warrants. The provisions of this
Warrant Agreement shall apply to any transferee or assignee for any Warrants so
transferred.
4. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Warrant Holder understands that at such time as
Floridino's becomes a reporting company, as that term is defined under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that it will duly register all of
the Shares underlying the Warrants granted herein. Such registration shall be
made upon ten days prior written notice from the Warrant Holder requesting such
registration of the underlying Shares. At any time prior to such registration,
the Warrant Holder may exercise any Warrants granted hereunder and receive
unregistered shares that shall be subject to restrictions against their sale or
further transfer pursuant to the provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended;
5. ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO RECAPITALIZATION OR STOCK SPLITS. It is understood that in
the event of any recapitalization or forward or reverse stock split by
Floridino's which impacts its shares of common stock then, in such event, the
number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted to reflect the impact of such action
in the same fashion as if the Warrant Shares had been issued and outstanding on
the effective date of such action. However, nothing contained herein shall be
interpreted as intending to protect or exempt the Warrant Holder from any
dilution due to any issuance of common stock subsequent to the date hereof
resulting from the sale for value by Floridino's of any additional shares of
common stock or from the exercise of any warrants or other rights to subscribe
for common stock which may be presently outstanding or which may hereafter be
issued by the due action of the Board of Directors of Floridino's.
6. ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. It is understood and agreed that at
such time as the Warrant Holder elects to exercise the within Warrants, or any
portion thereof, Floridino's may, in its sole discretion offer the Warrant
Holder the option to pay the exercise price due upon the exercise of the within
Warrants by the tender to Floridino's of shares of Floridino's' common stock
(the "Payment Shares"). In such event, the Payment Shares will be valued at the
closing price for such Payment Shares on the date in which they are tendered to
Floridino's in payment of the exercise price. Thereafter, the value of the
Payment Shares so computed shall be applied against the exercise price of the
Warrants then being exercised by the Warrant Holder, up to the maximum amount
due in connection with such exercise, but not for any greater amount, and the
Warrant Shares shall then be issued to the Warrant Holder.
7. TAXES. It is understood and agreed that any and all taxes which may be due
and payable by the Warrant Holder by reason of its receipt of these Warrants, or
by reason of the subsequent exercise of the Warrants, either in whole or in
part, or the transfer, sale or assignment of the Warrants, or any interest
therein, or the Warrant Shares received upon the exercise of the Warrants, shall
be the sole and absolute obligation of the Warrant Holder and Floridino's shall
have no obligation or liability with respect thereto.
8. APPLICABLE LAW. This Warrant Agreement is being entered into in the state of
New York and the validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement thereof
shall be governed by the domestic laws of New York. Any and all controversies or
disputes arising hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the state of New
York and any suit or action brought hereunder, or relating to any matter which
is the subject of this Warrant Agreement shall have as its sole venue the
appropriate court located with the city, county and state of New York, and no
other place.
9. SAVING CLAUSE. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Warrant Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect
any other provisions of this Warrant Agreement, or of the underlying Warrant
Shares represented hereby, and this Warrant Agreement shall be construed as if
such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained
herein.
10. DUE AUTHORIZATION. The issuance of this Warrant Agreement,, and of the
Underlying Warrant Shares according to the terms stated herein,, has been duly
approved by al required corporate action on the part of Floridino's and has been
duly approved by the Board of Directors of Floridino's as the valid and binding
obligation of Floridino's.
