WARRANT
TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
This
Warrant is issued to MidSouth Investor Fund LP or its assigns (the “Holder”) by
Long-e International Group Co., Ltd., a British Virgin Island corporation (the
“Company”) pursuant to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated
September 22, 2006 among the Company, Lender and certain other investors (the
“Purchase Agreement”). Terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning set
forth in the Purchase Agreement.
1. Purchase
of Shares.
(a) Number
of Conversion Shares.
Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein and set forth in the Purchase
Agreement, the Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall
notify the Holder in writing), to purchase from the Company fully paid and
nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to fifty percent (50%)
of the principal amount of the Note issued to such Holder in conjunction with
such Warrant multiplied by (Y) the number of whole Periods such Note remains
outstanding after the date hereof; provided that any partial period shall be
rounded up to the next whole Period (the “Conversion Shares”) (as adjusted
pursuant to Section 6 hereof).
(b) Exercise
Price.
The
purchase price for the Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to this Section
1
shall be 50% of the Common Stock Purchase Price as that term is defined in
the
Purchase Agreement. The Conversion Shares and the purchase price of such
Conversion Shares shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 6
hereof. Such purchase price, as adjusted from time to time, is herein referred
to as the “Exercise Price.”
2. Exercise
Period.
This
Warrant shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms contained herein,
in
whole or in part, at any time prior to 5:00 P.M. Pacific Standard Time on
September
25,
2011
(the “Exercise Period”).
1
3. Method
of Exercise.
(a) While
this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with
Section 2 above, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase
rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:
(i) the
surrender of the Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the Notice
of
Exercise attached hereto (or a reasonably acceptable affidavit and indemnity
undertaking in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed warrant) to the Secretary
of the Company at its principal office (or at such other place as the Company
shall notify the Holder in writing); and
(ii) the
payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for
the number of Conversion Shares being purchased by cash, check, wire transfer
or
by surrender of instruments representing indebtedness of the Company to the
Holder.
(b) Each
exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately
prior
to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant is surrendered to
the
Company as provided in Section 3(a) above. At such time, the person or persons
in whose name or names any certificate for the Conversion Shares shall be
issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 3(c) below shall be deemed
to
have become the holder or holders of record of the Conversion Shares represented
by such certificate.
(c) As
soon
as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part the
Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered
to,
the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable
transfer taxes) may direct:
(i) a
certificate or certificates for the number of Conversion Shares to which such
Holder shall be entitled, and
(ii) in
case
such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof)
of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the
number of Conversion Shares equal to the number of such Conversion Shares called
for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Conversion Shares purchased
by the Holder upon all exercises made in accordance with Section 3(a) above
or
Section 4 below at the time of surrender.
4. Net
Exercise.
In lieu
of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares
equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised)
by
surrender of this Warrant (or a reasonably acceptable affidavit and indemnity
undertaking in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed warrant) at the principal
office of the Company together with notice of such election (a “Net Exercise”).
A Holder who Net Exercises shall have the rights described in Sections 3(b)
and
3(c) hereof, and the Company shall issue to such Holder a number of Conversion
Shares computed using the following formula:
X = |
Y
(A - B)
|
|
A
|
2
Where
X
=
|
The
number of Conversion Shares to be issued to the
Holder.
|
Y
=
|
The
number of Conversion Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if
only a
portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant
being cancelled (at the date of such
calculation).
|
A
=
|
The
fair market value of one (1) Conversion Share (at the date of such
calculation).
|
B
=
|
The
Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculations).
|
For
purposes of this Section 4 and Section 7 below, the fair market value of a
Conversion Share shall mean the average of the closing price of the Conversion
Shares (or equivalent shares of Common Stock underlying the Conversion Shares)
quoted in the over-the-counter market in which the Conversion Shares (or
equivalent shares of Common Stock underlying the Conversion Shares) are traded
or the closing price quoted on any exchange or electronic securities market
on
which the Conversion Shares (or equivalent shares of Common Stock underlying
the
Warrants) are listed, whichever is applicable, as published in The
Wall Street Journal
for the
thirty (30) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market
value
(or such shorter period of time during which such Conversion Shares were traded
over-the-counter or on such exchange). If the Conversion Shares are not traded
on the over-the-counter market, an exchange or an electronic securities market,
the fair market value shall be the price per Conversion Share that the Company
could obtain from a willing buyer for Conversion Shares sold by the Company
from
authorized but unissued Conversion Shares, as such prices shall be determined
in
good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, unless the Company is subject to
a Corporate Transaction at such time, in which case the fair market value shall
be deemed to be the value to be received by the holders of Conversion Shares
pursuant to such Corporate Transaction.
5. Covenants
of the Company.
(a) Notices
of Record Date.
In the
event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class
of
securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled
to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash
dividends paid in previous quarters or a stock dividend) or other distribution
or any other similar right, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least
ten
(10) days prior to such record date, a notice specifying the date on which
any
such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution
or
other similar right.
(b) Covenants
as to Exercise Shares.
The
Company covenants and agrees that all Conversion Shares that may be issued
upon
the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance
in
accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued and outstanding, fully
paid
and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect
to
the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company
will at all times during the Exercise Period have authorized and reserved,
free
from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to
provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any
time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares
of
Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the
Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel,
be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
to
such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
3
6. Adjustment
of Exercise Price and Number of Conversion Shares.
The
number and kind of Conversion Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant
and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
follows:
(a) Subdivisions,
Combinations and Other Issuances.
If the
Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide
its
Preferred Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, or
issue
additional shares of its Common Stock as a dividend with respect to any shares
of its Common Stock, the number of Conversion Shares issuable on the exercise
of
this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a
subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of
a
combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price
payable per share, but the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number
of Conversion Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain
the same. Any adjustment under this Section 6(a) shall become effective at
the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes
effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that
no
record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.
(b) Reclassification,
Reorganization and Consolidation.
In case
of any reclassification, capital reorganization or change in the capital stock
of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock
dividend provided for in Section 6(a) above, then, as a condition of such
reclassification, reorganization or change, lawful provision shall be made,
and
duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor
shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall have the right at
any
time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price
equal
to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares
of stock and other securities or property receivable in connection with such
reclassification, reorganization or change by a holder of the same number and
type of securities as were purchasable as Conversion Shares by the Holder
immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization or change. In any
such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and
interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be
applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities or property
deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made
to
the Exercise Price per Conversion Share payable hereunder, provided the
aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.
(c) Notice
of Adjustment.
When
any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company
shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of Conversion
Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise
of
this Warrant.
4
7. No
Fractional Shares or Scrip.
No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company
shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the fair market value of
any
fractional shares as of the time when entitlement to receive such fractions
is
determined as determined in accordance with Section 4 above.
8. No
Stockholder Rights.
Prior to
exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of
a
stockholder with respect to the Conversion Shares, including (without
limitation) the right to vote such Conversion Shares, receive dividends or
other
distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be notified of stockholder
meetings, and except as otherwise provided in this Warrant or the Purchase
Agreement, such Holder shall not be entitled to any stockholder notice or other
communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company.
9. Transfer
of Warrant.
Subject
to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and any other
contractual restrictions between the Company and the Holder contained in the
Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable
in
whole or in part by the Holder to any person or entity upon written notice
to
the Company. Within a reasonable time after the Company's receipt of an executed
Assignment Form in the form attached hereto (or a reasonably acceptable
affidavit and indemnity undertaking in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed
warrant), the transfer shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon the
surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, to the Company at its principal
offices, and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other
governmental charges imposed on such transfer. In the event of a partial
transfer, the Company shall issue to the new holders one or more appropriate
new
warrants.
