ADEPT TECHNOLOGY, INC
WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK, NO PAR VALUE
For VALUE RECEIVED, (“Warrantholder”), is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, from Adept Technology, Inc., a California corporation (“Company”), at any time beginning [six months from the Closing Date] and not later than 5:00 P.M., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date (as defined above), at an exercise price per share equal to $1.25 (the exercise price in effect being herein called the “Warrant Price”), shares [based on 50% warrant coverage] (“Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, no par value (“Common Stock”). The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as described herein.
Section 1. Registration. The Company shall maintain books for the transfer and registration of the Warrant. Upon the initial issuance of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and register the Warrant in the name of the Warrantholder.
Section 2. Transfers. The Warrantholder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that as provided herein, this Warrant may be transferred only pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), or an exemption from such registration and upon compliance with any applicable state securities laws. Subject to such restrictions, the Company shall reflect the transfer of this Warrant from time to time upon the books to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, upon surrender thereof for transfer properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Company, including, if required by the Company, receipt of an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, to establish that such transfer is being made in accordance with the terms hereof, and a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant shall be surrendered by the Warrantholder to the Company and canceled by the Company.
Section 3. Exercise of Warrant. Subject to applicable securities laws and the provisions hereof, the Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time prior to its expiration upon surrender of the Warrant, together with delivery of the duly executed Warrant exercise form attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Exercise Agreement”) and payment by cash, certified check or wire transfer of funds (or by cash-less exercise as provided below) for the aggregate Warrant Price for that number of Warrant Shares then being purchased, to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof). The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or such holder’s designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered (or evidence of loss, theft or destruction thereof and security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company), the Warrant Price shall have been paid and the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of such holder or such other name as shall be designated by such holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. As used herein, “business day” means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks in New York City are open for the general transaction of business. Each exercise hereof shall constitute the re-affirmation by any Warrantholder which is a party to the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) that the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects with respect to the Warrantholder as of the time of such exercise.
Section 4. Compliance with the Securities Act of 1933. The Company may cause the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant to be set forth on each Warrant or similar legend on any security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such security that such legend is unnecessary.
Section 5. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of this Warrant in respect of which such shares are issued, and in such case, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for Warrant Shares or any Warrant until the person requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that such tax has been paid. The new holder shall be responsible for income taxes due under federal, state or other law, if any such tax is due.
-2-
Section 6. Mutilated or Missing Warrants. In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and substitution of and upon surrender to the Company and cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and for the purchase of a like number of Warrant Shares, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant, and with respect to a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond with respect thereto, if requested by the Company.
Section 7. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company hereby represents and warrants that there have been reserved, and the Company shall at all applicable times keep reserved until issued (if necessary) as contemplated by this Section 7, out of the authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, sufficient shares to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this Warrant. The Company agrees that all Warrant Shares issued upon due exercise of the Warrant shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Warrant Shares, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company.
Section 8. Adjustments. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, the Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth hereinafter.
(a) If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the date upon which such change shall become effective, shall be adjusted by the Company so that the Warrantholder thereafter exercising the Warrant shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock which the Warrantholder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such event upon payment of a Warrant Price that has been adjusted to reflect a fair allocation of the economics of such event to the Warrantholder. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) If any capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation shall be effected, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right
-3-
to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of each Warrantholder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the holder of the Warrant, at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, securities or assets, if any, as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions.
(c) In case the Company shall fix a payment date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus or dividends or distributions referred to in Section 8(a)), or subscription rights or warrants, the Warrant Price to be in effect after such payment date shall be determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such payment date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the Market Price (as defined below) per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such payment date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith) of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed, or of such subscription rights or warrants, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such Market Price per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such payment date. “Market Price” as of a particular date (the “Valuation Date”) shall mean the following: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed on a national stock exchange, the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on such exchange on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date; (b) if the Common Stock is then quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”), the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on Nasdaq on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date or, if no such closing sale price is available, the average of the high bid and the low asked price quoted on Nasdaq on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date; (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on Nasdaq, the average of the high bid and the low asked price quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other established quotation service on which quotations on the Common Stock are then regularly published on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date: or (d) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on Nasdaq,
-4-
the OTC Bulletin Board or such other established quotation service, the fair market value of one share of Common Stock as of the Valuation Date, shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. If the Common Stock is not then listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on Nasdaq, the OTC Bulletin Board or such other established quotation service, the Board of Directors of the Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Warrantholder prior to the exercise hereunder as to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a payment date is fixed.
(d) An adjustment to the Warrant Price shall become effective immediately after the payment date in the case of each dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date of each other event which requires an adjustment.
(e) In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8, the holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject thereafter to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in this Warrant.
(f) Except as provided in subsection (g) hereof, if and whenever the Company shall issue or sell, or is, in accordance with any of subsections (f)(l) through (f)(7) hereof, deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration (and for which no adjustment to the Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall have been made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 8(a) through 8(e) above) or for a consideration per share less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then and in each such case (a “Trigger Issuance”) the then-existing Warrant Price, shall be reduced, as of the close of business on the effective date of the Trigger Issuance, to a price determined as follows:
Adjusted Warrant Price = (A x B) + D
A+C
where
“A” equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, including Additional Shares (as defined below) deemed to be issued hereunder, immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;
“B” equals the Warrant Price in effect immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;
“C” equals the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued hereunder as a result of the Trigger Issuance; and
-5-
“D” equals the aggregate consideration, if any, received or deemed to be received by the Company upon such Trigger Issuance
provided, however, that in no event shall the Warrant Price after giving effect to such Trigger Issuance be greater than the Warrant Price in effect prior to such Trigger Issuance.
For purposes of this subsection (f), “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company or deemed to be issued pursuant to this subsection (f), other than Excluded Issuances (as defined in subsection (g) hereof).
For purposes of this subsection (f), the following subsections (f)(l) to (f)(7) shall also be applicable:
(f)(1) Issuance of Rights or Options. In case at any time the Company shall in any manner grant (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such warrants, rights or options being called “Options” and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being called “Convertible Securities”) whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of granting of such Options or the issuance of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Price. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 8(f)(3), no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
-6-
(f)(2) Issuance of Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall in any manner issue (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Price, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in subsection 8(f)(3), no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (b) no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Warrant Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of subsection 8(f).
(f)(3) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Upon the happening of any of the following events, namely, if the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in subsection 8(f)(l) hereof, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 8(f)(l) or 8(f)(2), or the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 8(f)(l) or 8(f)(2) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (including, but not limited to, changes under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Warrant Price in effect at the time of such event shall forthwith be readjusted to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. On the termination of any Option for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 8(f) or any right to convert or exchange Convertible Securities for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 8(f) (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of such Convertible Securities by the Company), the Warrant Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination, never been issued.
-7-
(f)(4) Stock Dividends. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8(f), in case the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon any stock of the Company (other than the Common Stock) payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration.
(f)(5) Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor, after deduction therefrom of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, after deduction of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith and such determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error. In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and such determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error. If Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold by the Company and, in connection therewith, other Options or Convertible Securities (the “Additional Rights”) are issued, then the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company shall be reduced by the fair market value of the Additional Rights (as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or another reasonably acceptable method determined by the Board of Directors of the Company acting in good faith. The Board of Directors of the Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Warrantholder as to the fair market value of the Additional Rights.
(f)(6) Record Date. In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(f)(7) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the
-8-
account of the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this subsection (f).
(g) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Warrant Price in the case of the issuance of (A) capital stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company in connection with their service as directors of the Company, their employment by the Company or their retention as consultants by the Company, respectively, pursuant to an equity compensation program approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, (B) shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exercise of Options or Convertible Securities issued prior to the date hereof, (C) securities issued pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement dated November 14, 2003, among the Company and the Investors named therein (the “Purchase Agreement”) and securities issued upon the exercise or conversion of those securities, (D) securities issued pursuant to the Other Investment (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) and securities issued upon the exercise or conversion of those securities, (E) capital stock, Options or Convertible Securities as payment of consideration in connection with a merger, acquisition or asset purchase transactions by the Company of another business entity, products or technologies, (F) capital stock, Options or Convertible Securities to financial institutions or lessors in connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings, real estate leases or similar transactions, (following approval of such issuance by the Board of Directors), (G) capital stock, or warrants exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, capital stock, issued to suppliers, customers or other strategic partners of the Company; (H) capital stock or Convertible Securities to third parties in settlement of litigation in lieu of payment of cash amounts and (I) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by reason of a dividend, stock split or other distribution on shares of Common Stock (but only to the extent that such a dividend, split or distribution results in an adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to the other provisions of this Warrant) (collectively, “Excluded Issuances”).
(h) Upon any adjustment to the Warrant Price pursuant to Section 8(f) above, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price in effect immediately thereafter.
Section 9. Fractional Interest. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any fractional share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 9, be deliverable upon such exercise, the Company, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall pay to the exercising holder of this Warrant an amount in cash equal to the Market Price of such fractional share of Common Stock on the date of exercise.
Section 10. Extension of Expiration Date. If the Company fails to cause any Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities (unless otherwise defined herein,
-9-
capitalized terms are as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the Warrant Shares (the “Registration Rights Agreement”)) to be declared effective prior to the applicable dates set forth therein, or if any of the events specified in Section 2(c)(ii) of the Registration Rights Agreement occurs, and the Blackout Period (whether alone, or in combination with any other Blackout Period) continues for more than 60 days in any 12 month period, or for more than a total of 90 days, then the Expiration Date of this Warrant shall be extended one day for each day beyond the 60-day or 90-day limits, as the case may be, that the Blackout Period continues.
Section 11. Benefits. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation (other than the Company and the Warrantholder) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim, it being agreed that this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Warrantholder.
Section 12. Notices to Warrantholder. Upon the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Warrantholder at the address appearing in the records of the Company, stating the adjusted Warrant Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares resulting from such event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Failure to give such notice to the Warrantholder or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the subject adjustment.
Section 13. Identity of Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is Mellon Investor Services. Upon the appointment of any subsequent transfer agent for the Common Stock or other shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrant, the Company will mail to the Warrantholder a statement setting forth the name and address of such transfer agent.
Section 14. Notices. Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted under this Warrant shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given as hereinafter described (i) if given by personal delivery, then such notice shall be deemed given upon such delivery, (ii) if given by telex or facsimile, then such notice shall be deemed given upon receipt of confirmation of complete transmittal, (iii) if given by mail, then such notice shall be deemed given upon the earlier of (A) receipt of such notice by the recipient or (B) three days after such notice is deposited in first class mail, postage prepaid, and (iv) if given by an internationally recognized overnight air courier, then such notice shall be deemed given one day after delivery to such carrier. All notices shall be addressed as follows: if to the Warrantholder, at its address as set forth in the Company’s books and records and, if to the Company, at the address as follows, or at such other address as the Warrantholder or the Company may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other:

Section 15. Registration Rights. The initial holder of this Warrant is entitled to the benefit of certain registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, and any subsequent holder hereof receiving this Warrant in a transfer in compliance with applicable law and the terms of this Warrant may be entitled to such rights.
Section 16. Successors. All the covenants and provisions hereof by or for the benefit of the Warrantholder shall bind and inure to the benefit of its respective successors and assigns hereunder.
Section 17. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without reference to the choice of law provisions thereof. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Warrantholder, each irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Warrant and the transactions contemplated hereby. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Warrant. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Warrantholder, each irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Warrantholder, each irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Section 18. Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary, the Warrantholder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Warrantholder of the aggregate Warrant Price in respect of the shares of Common Stock to be acquired, shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this Warrant (or such portion of this Warrant being so exercised) together with the Net Issue Election Notice annexed hereto as Appendix B duly executed, at the office of the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder such number of fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is computed using the following formula:
-11-
X = Y (A—B)
A
where
X = the number of shares of Common Stock which the Warrantholder has then requested be issued to the Warrantholder;
Y = the total number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant which the Warrantholder has surrendered at such time for cash-less exercise (including both shares to be issued to the Warrantholder and shares to be canceled as payment therefor);
A = the “Market Price” of one share of Common Stock as at the time the net issue election is made; and
B = the Warrant Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net issue election is made.
Section 19. Call Provision. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary, in the event that the closing bid price of a share of Common Stock as reported by such exchange or stock market on which the Common Stock may then be listed or by such reporting service on which such quotations may be published equals or exceeds $2.50 (appropriately adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or other reclassification or combination of the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof) for twenty (20) consecutive trading days commencing after the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) has been declared effective and for at least fifteen (15) trading days during such twenty-day period either (A) the Registration Statement has been available for resales of the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder, or (B) such shares no longer constitute Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice (the “Notice Period”) given to the Warrantholder within one business day immediately following the end of such twenty (20) trading day period, may demand that the Warrantholder exercise its right to exercise this Warrant for cash as provided hereunder, and the Warrantholder must exercise such rights prior to the end of the Notice Period; provided that the Company simultaneously gives a similar notice to all holders of Company Warrants (as defined below). So long as the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder constitute Registrable Securities, in the event that at any time during the Notice Period a Registration Statement is not effective and available for resales of such shares, the Notice Period shall be extended for a number of days equal to the number of days for which such Registration Statement was not so effective and available; provided, however, that if the Registration Statement is not available for resales of such shares as a result of an Updating Delay (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) first occurring during the Notice Period, the Notice Period shall include the first two days of the such Updating Delay; provided, further that the Notice Period shall not include any subsequent Updating Delay. If such cash exercise is not made or if only a partial exercise is made, any and all rights to further exercise the Warrant shall cease upon the expiration of the Notice Period.
