WARRANT AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT 10.33
This WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and
entered into as of January 11, 2002, between REMEDENT USA, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and investors listed on signature page.
R E C I T A L S
WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue to
Holders 675,000 warrants (the “Warrants”), each such Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock of the Company (the “Exercise Shares,” “Shares,” or the “Common Stock”); and
WHEREAS, the Warrants which are the subject of this Agreement will be issued by the Company to Holder as part of
consideration payable to Holder in connection with an investment by the Holder into the Company pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement on even date herewith.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
A G R E E M E N T
1. Warrant Certificates. The warrant certificates to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement (the “Warrant Certificates”) shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, with
such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Warrant Agreement.
2. Right to Exercise Warrants. Each Warrant may be exercised from the date of this Agreement until 5:00 P.M. (Pacific time) on January 11, 2007 (the “Expiration Date”).
Each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall expire. Each Warrant shall entitle its holder to purchase from the
Company one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth below (“Exercise Price”).
The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of capital stock upon the exercise of this Warrant or to deliver Warrant Certificates, which evidence fractional shares of capital stock. In
the event that a fraction of an Exercise Share would, except for the provisions of this paragraph 2, be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the
Holder exercising the Warrant an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the current market value of the Exercise Share. For purposes of this Agreement, the
current market value shall be determined as follows:
(a) if the Exercise Shares are traded in the
over-the-counter market and not on any national securities exchange and not in the NASDAQ Reporting System, the average of the mean between the last bid and asked prices per share, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., or an equivalent
generally accepted reporting service, for the last business day prior
1
to the date on which this Warrant is exercised, or, if not so reported, the average of the closing bid and asked prices for an Exercise Share as furnished to the Company by any member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., selected by the Company for that purpose.
(b) if the
Exercise Shares are listed or traded on a national securities exchange or in the NASDAQ Reporting System, the closing price on the principal national securities exchange on which they are so listed or traded or in the NASDAQ Reporting System, as the
case may be, on the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant. The closing price referred to in this Clause (b) shall be the last reported sales price or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average
of the reported closing bid and asked prices, in either case on the national securities exchange on which the Exercise Shares are then listed or in the NASDAQ Reporting System; or
(c) if no such closing price or closing bid and asked prices are available, as determined in any reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors
of the Company.
3. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. In case any of
the Warrant Certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed prior to its expiration date, the Company shall issue and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and
in substitution for the Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest.
4. Reservation of Shares. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued
Shares or its authorized and issued Shares held in its treasury for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy its obligation to issue Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the full number of Shares deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants.
The Company covenants that all Shares which may be issued upon exercise of Warrants will be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable outstanding Shares of the Company.
5. Rights of
Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue of anything contained in this Warrant Agreement or otherwise, prior to exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to any right whatsoever, either in law or equity, of a stockholder of the
Company, including without limitation, the right to receive dividends or to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the election of directors of the Company of any other matter.
6. Investment Intent. Holder represents and warrants to the Company that Holder
is acquiring the Warrants for investment and with no present intention of distributing or reselling any of the Warrants.
2
7. Adjustment of Number of Shares and Class of Capital Stock
Purchasable. The Number of Shares and Class of Capital Stock purchasable under this Warrant Agreement are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section.
(a) Adjustment |
for Change in Capital Stock. If the Company: |
(i) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock, in each case, in shares of its Common Stock;
(ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares;
(iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares;
(iv) makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its capital stock other than Common Stock; or
(v) issues by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock;
then the number and classes of shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the holder of any Warrant thereafter
exercised may receive the number and classes of shares of capital stock of the Company which such holder would have owned immediately following such action if such holder had exercised the Warrant immediately prior to such action.
For a dividend or distribution the adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the dividend or
distribution. For a subdivision, combination or reclassification, the adjustment shall become effective immediately after the effective date of the subdivision, combination or reclassification.
If after an adjustment the holder of a Warrant upon exercise of it may receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors of
the Company shall in good faith determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between or among the classes of capital stock. After such allocation, that portion of the Exercise Price applicable to each share of each such class of capital
stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the allocation of the Exercise Price between or among shares of capital stock as provided by this Section
8(a), a Warrant may only be exercised in full by payment of the entire Exercise Price currently in effect.
(b) Consolidation, Merger or Sale of the Company. If the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger or transfer of assets which reclassifies or changes its outstanding Common Stock, the successor corporation (or
corporation controlling the successor corporation
3
or the Company, as the case may be) shall by operation of law assume the Company’s obligations
under this Warrant Agreement. Upon consummation of such transaction the Warrants shall automatically become exercisable for the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which the holder of a Warrant would have owned immediately after the
consolidation, merger or transfer if the holder had exercised the Warrant immediately before the effective date of such transaction. As a condition to the consummation of such transaction, the Company shall arrange for the person or entity obligated
to issue securities or deliver cash or other assets upon exercise of the Warrant to, concurrently with the consummation of such transaction, assume the Company’s obligations hereunder by executing an instrument so providing and further
providing for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in this Section 8.
8. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company or Holder shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successor
and assigns hereunder.
9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all proposes be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute by one and the same instrument.
10. Notices. Any notice, request, instruction, or other document required by the terms of
this Agreement, or deemed by any of the parties hereto to be desirable, to be given to any other party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given by facsimile, personal delivery, overnight delivery, or mailed by registered or certified mail,

The Warrants evidenced hereby represent the right to purchase an aggregate of up to 675,000 shares, subject to certain
