2. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) All or any part of the Warrant represented by this Warrant Certificate may be exercised commencing on the Issue Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on August 8, 2019 (the "Expiration Date") by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, together with the Exercise Price and appropriate instructions, duly executed by the Warrantholder or by its duly authorized attorney, at the office of the Company, 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx; or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate.
(b) In addition to and without limiting the rights of the Warrantholder under the terms of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall have the right to convert this Warrant or any portion thereof (the “Conversion Right”) into shares of Common Stock and Unit Warrants as provided in this Section 2(b) at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period by delivering notice in accordance with Section 2(a). Upon exercise of the Conversion Right with respect to all or a specified portion of the Units subject to this Warrant (the “Pre-Converted Warrant Units”), the Company shall deliver to the Warrantholder that number of Common Stock and Unit Warrants equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the value of this Warrant (or the specified portion hereof) on the Exercise Date, which value shall be equal to (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Pre-Converted Warrant Units issuable upon exercise of this Warrant on the Exercise Date less (B) the aggregate Exercise Price of such Pre-Converted Warrant Units immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right by (ii) the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. For purposes of this calculation, the Unit Warrants shall be disregarded and full value shall be attributable to the share component of the Unit.
2 |
Expressed as a formula, such conversion shall be computed as follows:
X = (A-B) |
Y |
where | X = | the number of Units to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 2(b). |
Y = | the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one Warrant Share. | |
A = | the aggregate fair market value of the Pre-Converted Warrant Shares at the time the Conversion Right is elected pursuant to this Section 1(b) (i.e., Fair Market Value (as defined below) per Warrant Share x Pre-Converted Warrant Shares). | |
B = | aggregate the Exercise Price of the Pre-Converted Warrant Shares (i.e., Exercise Price x Pre-Converted Warrant Shares). |
For purposes of the provisions of this Warrant requiring a determination in accordance with this Section 1(b), “Fair Market Value” as of a particular date (the “Determination Date”) shall mean (i) for any security if such security is traded on a national securities exchange (an “Exchange”), the weighted average (based on daily trading volume) of the mid-point between the daily high and low trading prices of the security on each of the last five trading days prior to the Determination Date reported on such Exchange, (ii) for any security that is not traded on an Exchange but that is quoted on an electronic quotation system, the weighted average (based on daily trading volume) of the mid-point between the daily high and low trading prices reported on such electronic quotation system on each of the last five trading days (or if the relevant price or quotation did not exist on any of such days, the relevant price or quotation on the next preceding business day on which there was such a price or quotation, for a total of five trading days) prior to the Determination Date, or (iii) for any security or any other asset, if no price can be determined on the basis of the above methods of valuation, then the judgment of valuation shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, which determination shall be described in a duly adopted board resolution certified by the Company’s Secretary or Assistant Secretary.
(c) Subject to the provisions below, upon receipt of notice of exercise, the Company shall promptly prepare or cause the preparation of certificates for the Common Stock and Unit Warrants to be received by the Warrantholder upon completion of the Warrant exercise. The Securities to be obtained on exercise of the Warrant will be deemed to have been issued, and any person exercising the Warrant will be deemed to have become a holder of record of those Securities, as of the date of receipt by the Company of (a) available funds in cash in payment of the Exercise Price, or (b) notice of Cashless Exercise.
3 |
(d) If fewer than all the Securities purchasable under the Warrant are purchased, the Company will, upon such partial exercise, execute and deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant Certificate (dated the date hereof), in form and tenor similar to this Warrant Certificate, evidencing that portion of the Warrant not exercised.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall such Securities be issued, and the Company is authorized to refuse to honor the exercise of the Warrant, if such exercise would result in the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors, upon advice of counsel, in the violation of any law.
3. Adjustments in Certain Events. The number, class, and price of Securities for which this Warrant Certificate may be exercised are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
(a) If the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock are divided into a greater number of shares or a dividend in stock is paid on the Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is then exercisable will be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price will be proportionately reduced; and, conversely, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is then exercisable will be proportionately reduced and the Exercise Price will be proportionately increased. The increases and reductions provided for in this Section 3(a) will be made with the intent and, as nearly as practicable, the effect that neither the percentage of the total equity of the Company obtainable on exercise of the Warrants nor the price payable for such percentage upon such exercise will be affected by any event described in this Section 3(a).
(b) In case of any change in the Common Stock through merger, consolidation, reclassification, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, purchase of substantially all the assets of the Company, or other change in the capital structure of the Company, then, as a condition of such change, lawful and adequate provision will be made so that the Warrantholder will have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise of the Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property to which the Warrantholder would have been entitled if, immediately prior to such event, the Warrantholder had held the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon the exercise of the Warrant. In any such case, appropriate adjustment will be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Warrantholder, to the end that the provisions set forth herein will thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrant. The Company will not permit any change in its capital structure to occur unless the issuer of the shares of stock or other securities to be received by the holder of this Warrant Certificate, if not the Company, agrees to be bound by and comply with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate.
(c) When any adjustment is required to be made in the number of Units, other securities, or the property purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, the Company will promptly determine the new number of such Units or other securities or property purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and (i) prepare and retain on file a statement describing in reasonable detail the method used in arriving at the new number of such Units or other securities or property purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and (ii) cause a copy of such statement to be mailed to the Warrantholder within 30 days after the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment.
4 |
(d) No fractional Units or other Securities will be issued in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, and the number of Units to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.
(e) If securities of the Company or securities of any subsidiary of the Company are distributed pro rata to holders of Common Stock, such number of securities will be distributed to the Warrantholder or its assignee upon exercise of its rights hereunder as such Warrantholder or assignee would have been entitled to if this Warrant had been exercised prior to the record date for such distribution. The provisions with respect to adjustment of the Common Stock provided in this Section 3 will also apply to the securities to which the Warrantholder or its assignee is entitled under this Section 3(e).
(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there will be no adjustment made hereunder on account of the sale by the Company of the Units or any other Securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant.
4. Reservation of Securities. The Company agrees that the number of shares of Common Stock and warrants or other Securities sufficient to provide for the exercise of the Warrant upon the basis set forth above will, at all times during the term of the Warrant, be reserved for issuance.
5. Validity of Securities. All Securities delivered upon the exercise of the Warrant will be duly and validly issued in accordance with their terms and, upon payment of the Exercise Price, will be fully paid and non-assessable. The Company will pay all documentary and transfer taxes, if any, in respect of the original issuance thereof upon exercise of the Warrant.
6. Transferability. This Warrant Certificate and the Warrant may be transferred to sub-agents in the Offering as contemplated in the Placement Agent Agreement or to individuals who are partners, officers, employees or other representatives of the Placement Agent or any sub-agent. The Warrant may be divided or combined, upon request to the Company by the Warrantholder, into a certificate or certificates evidencing the same aggregate number of Warrants.
7. Securities Act Compliance. The Warrantholder hereby represents: (a) that this Warrant and any Common Stock and Unit Warrants to be acquired by the Warrantholder on exercise of the Warrant will be acquired for investment for the Warrantholder's own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and (b) that the Warrantholder is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. In addition, unless the issuance of the Securities shall have been registered under the Securities Act, as a condition of its delivery of certificates for the Common Stock and Unit Warrants, the Company may require the Warrantholder to deliver to the Company, in writing, representations regarding the Warrantholder's sophistication, investor status, investment intent, acquisition for its own account and such other matters as are reasonable and customary for purchasers of securities in an unregistered private offering. The Company may place conspicuously upon each certificate representing the Securities a legend substantially in the following form, the terms of which are agreed to by the Warrantholder:

8. No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Warrantholder will not, by virtue of ownership of the Warrant, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the Company but will, upon written request to the Company, be entitled to receive such quarterly or annual reports as the Company distributes to its stockholders.
