Provectus
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies
that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, [CRANSHIRE CAPITAL, L.P.], [OTHER BUYERS], the
registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject
to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise
Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant to
Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in

the investors (the “Buyers”) referred to therein
(the “Securities Purchase
Agreement”).

EXERCISE OF
WARRANT.
|
(a) Mechanics of
Exercise. Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the
limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the
Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date, in whole or in part, by
delivery (whether via facsimile or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the
Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within one (1) Trading Day following
an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to
the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of
such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this
Warrant was so exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in
cash or via wire transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder did not
notify the Company in such Exercise Notice that such exercise was made pursuant
to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be
required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise
hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less
than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the
original of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to
purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an
Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same
effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the
Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or before the first (1st)
Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise
Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of
confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B, to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). On or before
the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received
such Exercise Notice, the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is
participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated
Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled
pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with
DTC through its Deposit/ Withdrawal at Custodian system so long as the Holder’s
or its designee’s broker initiates instructions requesting such aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in
the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the
Holder or, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the
Holder’s agent or designee, in each case, sent by reputable overnight courier to
the address as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate,
registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its
designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise Notice), for the number of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such
exercise. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for
all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares
with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date
such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of
delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may
be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to
this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant
submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being
acquired upon an exercise, then, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall
as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after
any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its
designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right
to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such
exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to
which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of
Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. The
Company shall pay any and all taxes and fees which may be payable with respect
to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this
Warrant.
(b) Exercise
Price. For
purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $1.12,
subject to adjustment as provided herein.
2
(c) Company’s Failure to Timely
Deliver Securities. If the
Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue to the Holder
within three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable Exercise Notice, a
certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is
entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share
register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s
exercise of this Warrant (as the case may be) and if on or after such third
(3rd)
Trading Day the Holder (or any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the
Holder) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common
Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion
of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common
Stock, issuable upon such exercise that the Holder so anticipated receiving from
the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder,
the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and
in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal
to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other
out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
(including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of
the Holder) (the “Buy-In
Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver
such certificate or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number
of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s
exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common
Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and
deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of
Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s
exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount
equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such
number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price
of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date
of the applicable Exercise Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and
payment under this clause (ii).
(d) Cashless
Exercise. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1(f) below), if at
the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement
registering (or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for)
the issuance by the Company to the Holder of all of the Warrant Shares, then the
Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part
and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the
Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect
instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock
determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless
Exercise”):
Net Number = (A x B) - (A x
C)
B
For purposes of the foregoing
formula:
A= the
total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised.
3
B= as
applicable: (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such
Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a)
hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered
pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of
“regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS
promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the Bid
Price of the Common Stock as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the
applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular
trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter
pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof or (iii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common
Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise
Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered
pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on
such Trading Day.
|
|
C=
the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the
time of such exercise.
|
(e) Disputes. In
the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the
arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to
the terms hereof, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of
Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with
Section 13.
(f) Limitations on
Exercises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder hereof to
the extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder or any of its affiliates
would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the
Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination
of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-à-vis other convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its
affiliates) and of which such securities shall be exercisable (as among all such
securities owned by the Holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage
limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company
for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to
exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the
applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any
subsequent determination of exercisability. For the purposes of this paragraph,
beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without
limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement) and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner
otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct
this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent
with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein
contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly
give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in
this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant. The holders of
Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the
Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a
majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or
oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day
confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of
convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without
limitation, pursuant to this Warrant or securities issued pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement.
4
(g) Insufficient Authorized
Shares. The
Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a
number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s
obligation to issue shares of Common Stock hereunder (without regard to any
limitation otherwise contained herein with respect to the number of shares of
Common Stock that may be acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant). If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while
any of the SPA Warrants remain outstanding the Company does not have a
sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy
its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of the SPA Warrants at
least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common
Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of
the SPA Warrants then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”) (an
“Authorized Share
Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary
to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount
sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all
the SPA Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of
an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after
the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a
meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company
shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best
efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized
shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the
stockholders that they approve such proposal.
2. ADJUSTMENT
OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and number
of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to
adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.
(a) Stock Dividends and
Splits. Without
limiting any provision of Section 2(b) or Section
4, if the Company, at any time on or after the date of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then
outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any
class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock (other than
dividends paid to the holders of the Company’s 8% convertible preferred stock,
par value $.001 per share, pursuant to the terms of such preferred stock that
are in effect on the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement), (ii) subdivides
(by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more
classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one
or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any
adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become
effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs
during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the
calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect
such event.
5
(b) Adjustment Upon Issuance of
Shares of Common Stock. If and
whenever on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company
issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued
or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of
Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding
any Excluded Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) issued
or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share
(the “New Issuance
Price”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such
Exercise Price then in effect is referred to as the “Applicable Price”) (the
foregoing a “Dilutive
Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise
Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance
Price. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation,
determining the adjusted Exercise Price and consideration per share under this
Section 2(b)), the following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of
Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any
Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option
is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be
deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the
time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For
purposes of this Section 2(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one
share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon
exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of
the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the
Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale
of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option and
(y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one share of
Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon
exercise of any such Option minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to
the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting or sale of
such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option plus
the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit
conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as
contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made
upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible
Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such
shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
6
(ii) Issuance of Convertible
Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible
Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the
Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the
issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per
share. For the purposes of this Section 2(b)(ii), the “lowest price
per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion,
exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of
the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the
Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of
the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such
Convertible Security and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such
Convertible Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
conversion, exercise or exchange thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid
or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon
the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other
consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of
such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below,
no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of
such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible
Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this
Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section
2(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price
shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or
Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any
Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue,
conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at
which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the
Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be
adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had
such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased
purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion
rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For
purposes of this Section 2(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible
Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are
increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding
sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common
Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be
deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No
adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be made if such adjustment would
result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.
7
(iv) Calculation of Consideration
Received. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash,
the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of
consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other
than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the
fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of
publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received
by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs
of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the
date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection
with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of
consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of
the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to
such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may
be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded
securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such
parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence
of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair
value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days
after the tenth (10th) day
following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly
selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser
shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees
and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(v) Record Date. If the
Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable
in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or
sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the
declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the
date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may
be).
(c) Number of Warrant
Shares. Simultaneously
with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (a) of this
Section 2, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such
adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted
number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations
on exercise contained herein).
(d) Other
Events. In the
event that the Company (or any Subsidiary (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement)) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are
not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the
Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the
provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions
(including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights,
phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s
board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate
adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares (if
applicable) so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such
adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(d) will increase the Exercise Price or
decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this
Section 2, provided further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments
as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then
the Company’s board of directors and the Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon
an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such
appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding and
whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.
8
(e) Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent
or the nearest 1/100th of a
share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any
given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the
Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or
sale of Common Stock.
3.
RIGHTS UPON
DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to
Section 2 above, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other
distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of
shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including,
without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities,
property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate
rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time
after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be
entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder
would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard
to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum
Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such
Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record
holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in
such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to
participate in any such Distributions would result in the Holder exceeding the
Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such
Distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such shares of
Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and such
Distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the
Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the
Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).
|
4.
|
PURCHASE RIGHTS;
FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.
|
(a) Purchase
Rights. In
addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time
the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or
rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the
record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the
Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase
Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if
the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon
complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise
hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before
the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such
Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record
holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or
sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s
right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder
exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to
participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of
such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent)
and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder
until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder
exceeding the Maximum Percentage).
9
(b) Fundamental
Transactions. The
Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental
Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the
obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction
Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior
to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to 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,
including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number
of shares of capital stock 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 adjustments to the 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). Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the
Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and
after the date of the applicable 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. Upon consummation of each
Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder
confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any
time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu
of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other
property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above,
which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of
capital stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent
Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening
of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to
any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with
the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any
other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental
Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to
receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of
Common Stock (a “Corporate
Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the
Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this
Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the
Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such
items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be
receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such
Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any
other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription
rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening
of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to
any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant). Provision made pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Holder.
10
(c) Black Scholes
Value. Notwithstanding
the foregoing and the provisions of Section 4(b) above, at the request of the
Holder delivered at any time commencing on the earlier to occur of the public
disclosure of any Fundamental Transaction or the consummation of any Fundamental

or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving entity, the Common Stock

consolidation (as the case may be) and the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock issued (including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock issued or

the date that is ninety (90) days after the later to occur of (i) the public
disclosure of such Fundamental Transaction, (ii) the consummation of such

amount equal to the Black Scholes Value.
(d) Application. The
provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive
Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied as if this
Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants) were fully exercisable and without
regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant (provided that the
Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the Maximum Percentage,
applied however with respect to shares of capital stock registered under the
1934 Act and thereafter receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any such
other warrant)).
5.

its Articles of Incorporation (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement),
Bylaws (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any

or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the

whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company. Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder
with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders

stockholders.

Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii)

10. SEVERABILITY. If any
provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision
that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed
amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable,
and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the
validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as
so modified continues to express, without material change, the original
intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited
nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not
substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of
the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be
conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations
to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid
provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the
prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
11. GOVERNING LAW. This
Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and
all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and
performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State
of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law
provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions)
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the
State of New York.
12. CONSTRUCTION;
HEADINGS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the
Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any Person as the
drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of
reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Warrant. Terms used in this Warrant but defined in the other Transaction
Documents shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Closing Date (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in such other Transaction
Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Holder.
13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price, the
Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price or fair market value or the arithmetic
calculation of the Warrant Shares (as the case may be), the Company or the
Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the disputed determinations or
arithmetic calculations (as the case may be) via facsimile (i) within two (2)
Business Days after receipt of the applicable notice giving rise to such dispute
to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) or (ii) if no notice gave rise
to such dispute, at any time after the Holder learned of the circumstances
giving rise to such dispute (including, without limitation, as to whether any
issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale was an issuance or sale or deemed
issuance or sale of Excluded Securities). If the Holder and the Company are
unable to agree upon such determination or calculation (as the case may be) of
the Exercise Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price or fair market value
or the number of Warrant Shares (as the case may be) within three (3) Business
Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to
the Company or the Holder (as the case may be), then the Company shall, within
two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed determination of the
Exercise Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price or fair market value (as
the case may be) to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the
Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the
Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the
investment bank or the accountant (as the case may be) to perform the
determinations or calculations (as the case may be) and notify the Company and
the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it
receives such disputed determinations or calculations (as the case may be). Such
investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation (as the case may
be) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. The expenses of
such investment bank or such accountant (as the case may be) and any other
reasonable expenses incurred in good faith in connection with any such dispute
will be borne by the Company.
14
14. REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATION,
OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided
in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies
available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in
equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive
relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual
damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant.
The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization
concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set
forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, exercises and the like
(and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder
and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other
obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges
that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to
the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The
Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened
breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other
available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the
necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the
Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the
Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant (including,
without limitation, compliance with Section 2 hereof). The issuance of shares
and certificates for shares as contemplated hereby upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such shares for any
issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than
the Holder or its agent on its behalf.
