SHARES LAWS. THIS PURCHASE OPTION AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF
THIS
PURCHASE OPTION MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE

PURCHASE
OPTION
For
the Purchase of
248,035
shares of Common Stock
of
GigaBeam
Corporation
(A
Delaware Corporation)
1. Purchase
Option.
THIS
CERTIFIES THAT, in consideration of $10 and other good and valuable
consideration duly paid by or on behalf of HCFP/Xxxxxxx Securities, LLC (the
“Holder”), as registered owner of this Purchase Option, to GigaBeam Corporation
(the “Company”), Holder is entitled, at any time or from time to time commencing
on the date hereof (the “Commencement Date”) and at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern
Time, November 7, 2010 (the “Expiration Date”), but not thereafter, to subscribe
for, purchase and receive, in whole or in part, up to 248,035 shares (the
“Shares”) of the common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”). If the
Expiration Date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law
to
close, then this Purchase Option may be exercised on the next succeeding day
that is not such a day in accordance with the terms herein. During the period
ending on the Expiration Date, the Company agrees not to take any action that
would terminate the Purchase Option.
This
Purchase Option is being issued in connection with the issuance and sale by
the
Company of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”)
and common stock purchase warrants (“Warrants”) to investors in a private
placement under the terms of a securities purchase agreement of even date
herewith (“Securities Purchase Agreement”) and the offering contemplated thereby
for which HCFP/Xxxxxxx Securities, LLC (“HCFP”) has acted as placement agent
(“Private Placement”).
This
Purchase Option is initially exercisable at a price per Share equal to $7.6199;
provided,
however,
that
upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 6 hereof, the
rights granted by this Purchase Option, including the exercise price and the
number of Shares to be received upon such exercise, shall be adjusted as therein
specified. The term “Exercise Price” shall mean the initial exercise price or,
if adjustments thereto have been made, the adjusted exercise price to purchase
one Share.
2. Exercise.
2.1 Exercise
Form.
In
order to exercise this Purchase Option, the exercise form attached hereto must
be duly executed and completed and delivered to the Company, together with
this
Purchase Option and payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number
of
Shares for which this Purchase Option is then being exercised (except as
provided in Section 2.3 hereof) in cash or by certified check or official bank
check for the Shares being purchased. If the subscription rights represented
hereby shall not be exercised at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the
Expiration Date, except as otherwise provided in Section 1 hereof, this Purchase
Option shall become null and be void without further force or effect, and all
rights represented hereby shall cease and expire.
2.2 Legend.
The
Shares purchased under this Purchase Option shall bear the legends contained
on
the Shares issued to investors in the Private Placement. Each certificate for
Shares purchased under this Purchase Option shall bear a legend substantially
as
follows unless the issuance of such Shares by the Company have been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”):
These
Shares have been acquired for investment and have not been registered under
the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state securities laws. The
securities may not be sold, pledged or transferred in the absence of such
registration or an exemption therefrom under said Act and such laws, supported
by an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its
counsel, that such registration is not required.
2.3 Conversion
Right.
2.3.1 Determination
of Amount.
In lieu
of the payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares for
which this Purchase Option is exercisable in the manner required by
Section 2.1, the Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation)
to
convert any exercisable but unexercised portion of this Purchase Option into
Shares (“Conversion Right”) as follows: upon exercise of the Conversion Right,
the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any
of
the Exercise Price in cash) that number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained
by dividing (x) the "Value" (as defined below) of the portion of the Purchase
Option being converted by (y) the Current Market Value (as defined below).
The
"Value" of the portion of the Purchase Option being converted shall equal the
remainder derived from subtracting (a) (i) the Exercise Price multiplied by
(ii)
the number of Shares underlying the portion of this Purchase Option being
converted from (b) the Current Market Value of a Share multiplied by the number
of Shares underlying the portion of the Purchase Option being converted. As
used
herein, the term "Current Market Value" per Share at any date means (i) if
the
Common Stock or such other security is not registered under the Shares Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), (A) the value of the Common Stock or
such other security as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and
certified in a board resolution, based on the most recently completed
arm’s-length transaction between the Company and a person other than an
affiliate of the Company or between any two such persons and the closing of
which occurs on such date or shall have occurred within the six-month period
preceding such date, or (B) if no such transaction shall have occurred on such
date or within such six-month period, the value of the Common Stock or such
other security as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of
Directors, based on the best information available, or (ii) if the Common Stock
or such other security is registered under the Exchange Act, the average of
the
daily closing sale prices of the Common Stock or such other security for each
trading day during the period commencing 10 trading days before such date and
ending on the date one day prior to such date; provided,
however,
that if
the closing bid price is not determinable for at least three trading days in
such period, the “Current Market Price” of the Common Stock or such other
security shall be determined as if the Common Stock or such other security
was
not registered under the Exchange Act.
2.3.2 Mechanics
of Conversion Right.
The
Conversion Right may be exercised by the Holder on any business day on or after
the Commencement Date and not later than the Expiration Date, except as
otherwise provided in Section 1 hereof, by delivering to the Company this
Purchase Option with a duly executed exercise form attached hereto with the
conversion section completed exercising the Conversion Right.
2
3. Transfer.
3.1 General
Restrictions.
On and
after the Commencement Date, the Holder of this Purchase Option may sell,
transfer or assign or hypothecate this Purchase Option or the Shares only upon
compliance with, or pursuant to exemptions from, applicable securities laws
and
in accordance with Section 3.2 below. In order to make any permitted assignment
of this Purchase Option, the Holder must deliver to the Company the assignment
form attached hereto duly executed and completed both by the Holder and the
transferee as applicable, together with this Purchase Option. The Company shall
immediately transfer this Purchase Option on the books of the Company and shall
execute and deliver a new Purchase Option or Purchase Options of like tenor
to
the appropriate assignee(s) expressly evidencing the right to purchase the
aggregate number of Shares purchasable hereunder or such portion of such number
as shall be contemplated by any such assignment.
3.2 Restrictions
Imposed by the Securities Act.
This
Purchase Option and the Shares underlying this Purchase Option shall not be
transferred unless and until (i) the
Company has received the opinion of counsel for the Holder that this Purchase
Option or the Shares, as the case may be, may be transferred pursuant to an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state law,
the availability of which is established to the reasonable satisfaction of
the
Company, or (ii) a
registration statement relating to such Purchase Option or Shares, as the case
may be, has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Shares
and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC”) and remains effective and current and is in
compliance with applicable state law.
4. New
Purchase Options to be Issued.
4.1 Partial
Exercise or Transfer.
This
Purchase Option may be exercised or assigned in whole or in part. In the event
of the exercise or assignment hereof in part only, upon surrender of this
Purchase Option for cancellation, together with the duly executed exercise
or
assignment form and funds sufficient to pay any Exercise Price, the Company
shall cause to be delivered to the Holder without charge a new Purchase Option
of like tenor to this Purchase Option in the name of the Holder evidencing
the
right of the Holder to purchase the aggregate number of Shares purchasable
hereunder as to which this Purchase Option has not been exercised or
assigned.
4.2 Lost
Certificate.
Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Purchase Option and of reasonably satisfactory
indemnification, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Purchase Option
of
like tenor and date. Any such new Purchase Option executed and delivered as
a
result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a
substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company.
5. Registration
Obligation.
5.1 The
Holder of this Purchase Option shall be entitled to the same registration rights
with respect to the resale of the Shares underlying this Purchase Option (the
“Registrable Shares”) as the Company has granted to investors in the Private
Placement with respect to the Shares underlying the Warrants, as provided in
the
Securities Purchase Agreement including, without limitation and subject to
the
limitations and obligations set forth therein, the mandatory and piggyback
registration obligations set forth therein; provided,
however,
that
the Holder shall not be entitled to any of the delinquent filing and
effectiveness penalties afforded such investors thereunder.
3
5.2 Successors
and Assigns.
The
registration rights granted to the Holders inure to the benefit of all the
Holders’ successors, heirs, pledges and permitted assignees.
6. Adjustments.
6.1 Adjustment
of Common Stock.
6.1.1 Stock
Dividends - Recapitalization, Reclassification, Split-Ups.
If
after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.2 below,
the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend
payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split-up, recapitalization or
reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on
the
effective date thereof, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Purchase Option shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding
shares of Common Stock.
6.1.2 Aggregation
of Shares.
If
after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation,
combination or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar
event, then, upon the effective date thereof, the number of Shares issuable
upon
exercise of the Purchase Option shall be decreased in proportion to such
decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.
6.1.3 Adjustments
in Exercise Price.
Whenever the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Purchase
Option is adjusted, as provided in this Section 6.1, the Exercise Price shall
be
adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately
prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be
the
number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Purchase Option
immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall
be
the number of Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.
6.1.4 Replacement
of Shares upon Reorganization, etc.
In case
of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock other than a change covered by Section 6.1.1 hereof or which solely
affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock, or in the case of any
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other
than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or reorganization
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or
conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company
as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company
is
dissolved, the Holder of this Purchase Option shall have the right thereafter
(until the expiration of the right of exercise of this Purchase Option) to
receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable
hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of
stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such
reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution
following any such sale or other transfer, by a Holder of the number of Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Purchase Option immediately prior to such event;
and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock
covered by Section 6.1.1, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to
Sections 6.1.1, 6.1.3 and this Section 6.1.4. The provisions of this Section
6.1.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations,
mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.
6.1.5 Changes
in Form of Purchase Option.
This
form of Purchase Option need not be changed because of any change pursuant
to
this Section, and Purchase Options issued after such change may state the same
Exercise Price and the same number of Shares as are stated in the Purchase
Options initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. The acceptance by any
Holder of the issuance of new Purchase Options reflecting a required or
permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any rights to a prior adjustment
or the computation thereof.
6.2 Elimination
of Fractional Interests.
The
Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions
of
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or transfer of the Purchase Option,
nor
shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of any fractional
interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests
shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up or down to the nearest whole
number of shares of Common Stock.
4
7. Reservation
and Listing.
The
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of
this
Purchase Option, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Purchase
Option. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Purchase
Options and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all Shares issuable upon
the
exercise of this Purchase Option shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any stockholder.
As
long as the Purchase Options shall be outstanding, the Company shall use its
best efforts to cause all Shares underlying the Purchase Option to be listed
(subject to official notice of issuance) on all securities exchanges (or, if
applicable, on Nasdaq or the OTC Bulletin Board) on which the Common Stock
is
then listed and/or quoted.
8. Notices
of Record Date.
Nothing
herein shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders the right to vote
or
consent as a stockholder for the election of directors or any other matter,
or
as having any right whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. In
case:
(a) the
Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (and/or other
stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Purchase
Option) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend
or
other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right,
or
(b) of
any
capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital
stock
of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the
surviving entity), or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets
of
the Company, or
(c) of
the
voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Company,
then,
and
in each such case, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record
is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and
stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or
(ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is
to
take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of
record of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities at the time
deliverable upon the exercise of this Purchase Option) shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed
at
least ten (10) days (or such lesser number of days as may be practicable (but
in
no event less than five business days) based on the date on
which
the Board of Directors acts to set such record date or transfer book closing)
prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such
notice, provided that the failure to mail such notice shall not affect the
legality or validity of any such action.
8.1 Transmittal
of Notices.
All
notices, requests, consents and other communi-cations under this Purchase Option
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made on the date
of
delivery if delivered personally, by courier, by facsimile or sent by overnight

the

registered Holder of the Purchase Option, to the address of such Holder as
shown
on the books of the Company, or (ii) if
to the
Company, to its principal executive office, attention: Chief Financial

Holder to thereafter enforce each and every provision of this Purchase Option.
No waiver of any breach, non-compliance or non-fulfillment of any of the
provisions of this Purchase Option shall be effective unless set forth in a
