COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Warrant Shares: _____ | Initial Exercise Date: October 29, 2010 |
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received,
or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the
limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date
hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the five
year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter,
to subscribe for and purchase from UFood Restaurant Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
“Company”), up to
_____
shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant
Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant
shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the
“Purchase Agreement”), dated October 29, 2010, among the Company and the purchasers
signatory thereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial
Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to
the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the
Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto.
Within three (3) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall
deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of
Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the
cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable
Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be
required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased
all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in
which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within
three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company.
Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of
Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number
of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of
Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the
number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver
any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such
notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree
that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of
the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder
at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this
Warrant shall be $0.29, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the earlier of (i) the one year
anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the completion of the
then-applicable holding period required by Rule 144, or any successor provision then in
effect, there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus
available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then] this Warrant may also
be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which
the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal
to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = | the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date
on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless
exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise; |
||
(B) = | the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder;
and |
||
(X) = | the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such
exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise. |
2
d) | Mechanics of Exercise. |
i. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for
shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to
the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The
Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian
system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such
system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement
permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant
Shares by the Holder or (B) the shares are eligible for resale by the
Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144,
and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder
in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after
the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise,
(B) surrender of this Warrant (if required), and (C) payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by cashless
exercise, if permitted) (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and
Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be
deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes,
as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company
of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all
taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section
2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant
shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a
Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of
delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares,
deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to
purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which
new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the
Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such
exercise.
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver
Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available
to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to
transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the
Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share
Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker
to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s
brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a
3
sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”),
then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any,
by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds
(y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares
that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with
the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving
rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of
the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent
number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which
case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the
number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the
Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations
hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a
total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an
attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price
giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of
the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay
the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and,
upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing
herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available
to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to
the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares
of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the
terms hereof.
v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or
scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would
otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall,
at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final
fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise
Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates
for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any
issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the
issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be
paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of
the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder;
provided, however, that in the event certificates for
Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the
Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by
the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the
Company may
require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to
reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
4
vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its
stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely
exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
e) Xxxxxx’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any
exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any
portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that
after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable
Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other
Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s
Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
(as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect
to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of
Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining,
nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any
other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise
analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any
of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of
this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing
to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be
filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this
Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in
relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and
of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of
the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the
Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of
this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the
accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group
status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes
of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as
reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the
Commission, as the case may be,
5
(B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company
or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within
two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise
of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its
Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of
the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect
to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or
decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e),
provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the
number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to
the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the
Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any such
increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such
notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be
construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the
terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which
may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation
herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to
properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph
shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions
on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in
shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of
Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including
by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of
capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain
unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision, combination or re-classification.
6
b) Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as
applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to
purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or
announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, at an effective price per share less than the Exercise
Price then in effect (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances
collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being understood and agreed that if the
holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether
by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise
or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are
issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an
effective price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be
deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive
Issuance at such effective price), then (a) the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only
reduced by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive
Issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the offering price for such
Dilutive Issuance would purchase at the then Exercise Price, and the denominator of which
shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued or
issuable in connection with the Dilutive Issuance and (b) the number of Warrant Shares
issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable
hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to
the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made
whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 3(b) in respect
of an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the
Trading Day following the issuance or deemed issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents subject to this Section 3(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price,
or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such
notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or
not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the
occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant
Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to
the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. If the Company enters into a Variable Rate
Transaction, despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be
deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible
conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted or exercised.
7
c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time while the Warrant
is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and
not to the Holder) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price per share less than the closing bid price of the Common Stock
on the record date mentioned below, then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of
additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of
issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate
offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in
full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would
purchase at such closing bid price of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made
whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights,
options or warrants.
d) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder)
evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall
be subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which
the denominator shall be the closing bid price of the Common Stock determined as of the
record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such closing bid price of
the Common Stock on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such
record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants
so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the
Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a
statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so
distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such
adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective
immediately after the record date mentioned above.
e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
(i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company,
directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance
or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer
(whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common
Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects
any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any
compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into
or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, (v) the Company, directly or
indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase
agreement or other business combination
8
(including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another
Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons
making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to,
such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a
“Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the
Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable
upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the
number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the
Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the
“Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by
a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in
Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the
determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such
Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect
of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall
apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.
If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be
received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to
the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such
Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a
Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction”
as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving
a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, the Company or any
Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time
concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction,
purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the
Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value
of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV”
function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation
of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a
risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the
time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction
and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the
100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day
immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C)
the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per
share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any,
being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the
time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction
and the Termination Date. The
9
Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”)
to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to
written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved
by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall,
at the option of the holder of this Warrant, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this
Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially
similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding
number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent
to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant
(without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such
Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price
hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the
shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares
of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for
the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the
Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date
of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction
Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may
exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the
Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if
such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the
nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this
Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a
given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury
shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
g) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is
adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall
promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after
such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares
and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
10
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Xxxxxx. If (A) the Company
shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the
Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash
dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall
authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any
class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the
Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the
Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party,
any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is
converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall
authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall
cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon
the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating
(x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is
not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of
record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or
warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is
expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such
notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.
To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains,
material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the
Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall
remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the
date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such
notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws
and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of
the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without
limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender
of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together
with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly
executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer
taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such
payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the
assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in
such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the
portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The
Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith,
may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a
new Warrant issued.
11
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants
upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written
notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed
by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any
transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided
or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges
shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as
to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto and the name of the holder
thereof.
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to
be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name
of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the
registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any
exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual
notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in
connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be
either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale
without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements
pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer,
that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the
provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof,
represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof,
will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not
with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in
violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to
sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the
Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior
to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants
that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the
Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security
reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the
posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock
certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock
certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or
stock certificate.
12
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the
taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be
a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next
succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it
will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of
shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any
purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance
of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with
the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under
this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary
to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading
Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all
Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes,
liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than
taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company
shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of
incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant, 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 to
protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase
the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such
exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action
as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally
issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant
and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations,
exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body
having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to
perform its obligations under this Warrant.
13
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of
Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the
Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents
thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the
provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon
the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless
exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to
exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right
or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that
all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and
knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material
damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be
sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in
collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights,
powers or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be
given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any
affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any
liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of
the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of
its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of
this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for
specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
14
k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant
and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted
assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any
Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of
Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof
waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holders holding Warrants at least
equal to 67% of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of all then outstanding Warrants.
m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of
reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
