1. | WHAT YOU AGREE TO GRANT US. |
You grant to Us and We are entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Warrant Agreement, to subscribe to and to purchase from You that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Your Series C Preferred Stock equal to the quotient of (x) Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500) and (y) the Exercise Price (as defined below). Upon each draw down over an initial $500,000 draw down on the Loan Agreement, this Warrant Agreement shall cover and We are entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Warrant Agreement an additional number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Your Series C Preferred Stock calculated as the quotient of (x) the product of (a) the excess of such amount drawn down by You under the Loan Agreement over $500,000 and (b) five percent (5%) and (y) the Exercise Price (as defined below).
The Exercise Price for the initial warrants issued hereunder on the Effective Date and for all warrants for commitments drawn down prior to the close of the Next Round shall be equal to $1.15, The Exercise Price for all warrants for commitments drawn down after the close of the Next Round will be priced at a per share price equal to the price per share of the Next Round of Preferred Stock.
For purposes of this Warrant Agreement, “Next Round” means the next round of equity financing subsequent to the Effective Date in which at least a total of $5,000,000 of cash investments (including conversion of bridge loan financing debt) are made by investors.
The number and purchase price of such Series C Preferred Stock are also subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof.
2. | WHEN ARE WE ENTITLED TO PURCHASE YOUR SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK. |
The term of this Warrant Agreement and our right to purchase Series C Preferred Stock will begin on the Effective Date, and shall be available for the greater of (i) 7 years from the Effective Date or (ii) 3 years from the effective date of Your initial public offering, unless otherwise terminated pursuant to the provisions below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Our right to purchase Series C Preferred Stock shall be automatically and fully exercised (without surrender of the Warrant Agreement) pursuant to the Net Issuance method upon the occurrence of a Merger Event (as defined below in Section 4), in which You are not the surviving corporation, provided that, upon consummation of the Merger Event, the consideration payable to Us pursuant to such exercise and on account of the Series C Preferred Stock consists of stock that is not traded on a recognized public exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market and is at a price equal to or greater than three (3) times the Exercise Price (as adjusted) (as determined pursuant to Section 3). In such a Merger Event, if the consideration to be received by Us is less than three (3) times the Exercise Price and We have not elected to exercise Our rights under this Warrant Agreement, then You may, at Your sole discretion, pay Us a sum equal to three (3) times the Exercise Price for each share exercisable under this Warrant Agreement in exchange for the cancellation of this Warrant Agreement upon the consummation of the Merger Event.
In the event of a Merger Event, in which the consideration to be received is (1) cash and/or (2) stock or other securities that are traded on a recognized public exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market, either (a) We shall exercise Our purchase rights under this Warrant Agreement prior to the Merger Event and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Merger Event or (b) We elect not to exercise the Warrant and this Warrant Agreement shall automatically expire upon consummation of such Merger Event.
No less than twenty (20) business days prior to any Merger Event, You shall provide Us with written notice of the proposed Merger Event together with a copy of the proposed merger agreement and information concerning Your expected capitalization immediately prior to the Merger Event. If we elect to exercise this Warrant prior to a Merger Event, we shall give such notice five (5) days prior to the anticipated consummation of such Merger Event, provided, however, that You have provided Us with notice of such event pursuant to the prior sentence. Upon consummation of the Merger Event, You shall promptly provide Us with (a) a copy of the executed merger agreement, (b) any other documents in connection therewith, (c) information concerning Your capitalization immediately prior to the Merger Event, and, (d) upon request, by Us any other information reasonably necessary to an informed evaluation of Our rights under this Agreement.
2
3. | HOW WE MAY PURCHASE YOUR SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK. |
We may exercise Our purchase rights, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the expiration of the term of this Warrant Agreement, by giving You a completed and executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached as Exhibit I. Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and in any event no later than twenty-one (21) days after you have received Our Notice of Exercise and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares purchased, You will issue to Us a certificate for the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock that We have purchased and You will execute the Acknowledgment of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II indicating the number of shares which will be available to Us for future purchases, if any.
We may pay for the Series C Preferred Stock by either (i) cash or check, or (ii) by the net issuance method as determined below. If We elect the Net Issuance method, You will issue Series C Preferred Stock using the following formula:
X = | Y(A-B) A |
Where: | X = | the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be issued to Us. | ||
Y = | the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock we request to be exercised under this Warrant Agreement. | |||
A = | the fair market value of one share of Series C Preferred Stock. | |||
B = | the Exercise Price. |
For purposes of the above calculation, current fair market value of Series C Preferred Stock shall mean with respect to each share of Series C Preferred Stock:
If the exercise is in connection with the initial public offering of Your Common Stock, and if Your registration statement relating to such public offering has been declared effective by the SEC, then the fair market value per share shall be the product of (x) the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus of the offering and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise;
If this Warrant Agreement is exercised after, and not in connection with the Your initial public offering, and:
Þ if traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value shall be the product of (x) the average of the closing prices over a five (5) day period ending three (3) days before the day the current fair market value of the securities is being determined and (y) the number of securities converted hereunder at the time of such exercise; or
Þ if actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market value shall be the product of (x) the average of the closing bid and asked prices quoted on the NASDAQ system (or similar system) over the five (5) day period ending three (3) days before the day the current fair market value of the securities is being determined and (y) the number of securities converted hereunder at the time of such exercise;
Þ if at any time Your Common Stock is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System or the over-the-counter market, the current fair market value of Series C Preferred Stock shall be the product of (x) the price as determined in good faith by Your Board of Directors and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise, unless You shall become subject to a merger, acquisition or other consolidation pursuant to which You are not the surviving party, in which case the fair market value of Series C Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the value received by the holders of the Your Series C Preferred Stock on a common equivalent basis pursuant to such merger or acquisition.
3
Þ During the term of this Warrant Agreement, You will at all times from and after the Effective Date have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of Series C Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise of Our rights to purchase the Series C Preferred Stock or take such necessary actions at the time of exercise to provide for the exercise of Our rights to purchase the Series C Preferred Stock.
If We elect to exercise part of the Warrant Agreement, You will promptly issue to Us an amended Warrant Agreement stating the remaining number of shares that are available. All other terms and conditions of that amended Warrant Agreement shall be identical to those contained in this Warrant Agreement.
4. | WHEN WILL THE NUMBER OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE CHANGE. |
If You Merge. Subject to section 2, If at any time there is a reorganization of Your stock (other than a reclassification, exchange or subdivision of Your shares otherwise provided in this Warrant Agreement), or Your merger or consolidation with or into another corporation, whether or not You are the surviving corporation or if You sell or convey all or substantially all of Your assets or stock to any other person (each of these foregoing events referred to as a Merger Event), then, as part of such Merger Event, lawful provision shall be made so that We shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of Our rights under this Warrant Agreement, the number of shares of preferred stock or other securities of the successor corporation resulting from such merger, equal in value to that which would have been issuable if We had exercised Our rights under this Warrant Agreement immediately prior to the Merger Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Your Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement with respect to the Our rights and interest after the merger so that the provisions of this Warrant Agreement (including adjustments of the Exercise Price and number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock purchasable) shall be applicable to the greatest extent possible.
If You Reclassify Your Stock. If at any time You combine, reclassify, exchange or subdivide Your securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant Agreement will thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant Agreement immediately prior to such combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change.
If You Subdivide or Combine Your Shares. If at any time You combine or subdivide Your Series C Preferred Stock, the Exercise Price will be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.
If You Pay Stock Dividends. If at any time You pay a dividend payable in, or make any other distribution (except any distribution specifically provided for in the above paragraphs) of Your stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the record date of such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of all shares of Your stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of all shares of Your stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution. We will thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock (calculated to the nearest whole share) obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
If You Change the Antidilution Rights of the Series C Preferred Stock or Issue New Preferred Or Convertible Stock. All antidilution rights applicable to the Series C Preferred Stock purchasable under this Warrant Agreement are as set forth in Your Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, “Charter”, as amended through the Effective Date. You will promptly provide Us with any restatement, amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter. You will provide Us with written notice of any issuance of Your stock or other equity security to occur
4
after the Effective Date, which notice shall include (a) the price at which such stock or security is to be sold, (b) the number of shares to be issued, and (c) such other information as necessary for Us to determine if a dilutive event has occurred. You will use best efforts to provide such written notice prior to the issuance, but in no event later than five (5) business days after such issuance.
5. | WE CAN TRANSFER THIS PLAIN ENGLISH WARRANT AGREEMENT. |
Subject to the terms and conditions contained in Section 7, We (or any successor transferee) may transfer in whole or in part this Warrant Agreement and all its rights. The total number of transfers will not exceed three. If the transfer is in accordance with Section 7, You will record the transfer on Your books when You receive Our Notice of Transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit III, and Our payment of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges involved in such transfer.

Upon the Effective Date, You will provide us with the following documents:

7

Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
Mutual Waiver Of Jury Trial. Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and The Parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), The Parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF THE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY YOU AGAINST US OR OUR ASSIGNEE OR BY US OR OUR ASSIGNEE AGAINST YOU.

Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this Warrant Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of (1) actual receipt or 3 days after mailing if mailed postage prepaid by regular or airmail to Us or You or (2) one day after it is sent by overnight mail via nationally recognized courier or (3) on the same day as sent via confirmed facsimile transmission, provided that the original is sent by personal delivery or mail by the sending party.
Remedies. In the event of any default hereunder, the non-defaulting party may proceed to protect and enforce its rights either by suit in equity and/or by action at law, including but not limited to an action for damages as a result of any such default, and/or an action for specific performance for any default where such party will not have an adequate remedy at law and where damages will not be readily ascertainable. Each party expressly agrees that it shall not oppose an application by the other party or any other person entitled to the benefit of this Agreement requiring specific performance of any or all provisions hereof or enjoining such party from continuing to commit any such breach of this Agreement.
No Impairment of Rights. You will not, by amendment of your Charter or through any other means, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant Agreement, 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 in order to protect Our rights against impairment.
Survival. Except for those representations, warranties, covenants and conditions which are specific as to the Effective Date of this Warrant Agreement, the representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions of the Parties contained herein or made pursuant to this Warrant Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement.
8
Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Warrant Agreement shall be unimpaired, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable valid, legal and enforceable provision, which comes closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
