COMMON
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
To
Purchase __________ Shares of Common Stock of
THIS
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”)
certifies that, for value received, _____________ (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 fifth anniversary of the Initial
Exercise Date (the “Termination
Date”) but
not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Global National
Communications Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to
______ shares (the “Warrant
Shares”) of
Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “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
_________ __, 2005, 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 at any
time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the
Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy of
the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto (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 such Holder appearing on the books of the Company); provided,
however, within
5 Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company,
the Holder shall have surrendered this Warrant to the Company and the Company
shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares
thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States
bank.
C-1
b) Exercise
Price. The
exercise price of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $4.75, subject
to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”);
provided, however, if the Closing Price on the tenth Trading Day following the
Effective Date or the VWAP for the ten Trading Days immediately following the
Effective Date is less than $5.00 per share, then the Exercise Price shall be
equal to $4.25.
c) Cashless
Exercise. If at
any time after one year from the date of issuance of this Warrant 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 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
volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) on the Trading Day immediately
preceding the date of such election;
(B) = the
Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
(X) = the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a
cashless exercise.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be
automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section
2(c).
d) Exercise
Limitations. The
Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant,
pursuant to Section 2(c) or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to
such issuance after exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, would
beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance. 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 the
determination being made in the foregoing sentence, but shall exclude the number
of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the
remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder
or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any other Shares or Warrants) 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(d), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it being
acknowledged by Holder that the Company is not representing to Holder that such
calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and 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(d)
applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by the Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant
is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of such Xxxxxx, and the
submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be such Holder’s
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by such Holder) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and
the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such
determination. For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent
Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the
Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the 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 provisions of this Section
2(d) may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less
than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Section
2(d) shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or
such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice
of waiver).
C-2
e) Mechanics
of Exercise.
i. Authorization
of Warrant Shares. 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, be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in
respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer
occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
ii. Delivery
of Certificates Upon Exercise.
Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer
agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s
prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system
if the Company is a participant in such system, and otherwise by physical
delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within
3 Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form,
surrender of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set
forth above (“Warrant
Share Delivery Date”). This
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is
received by the Company. 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 by payment to the Company of the Exercise
Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to
Section 2(e)(vii) prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid.
C-3
iii. Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this
Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of
delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver
to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of 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.
iv. Rescission
Rights. If the
Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a
certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to this
Section 2(e)(iv) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have
the right to rescind such exercise.
v. 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 its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or 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) shares of Common Stock
to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which
the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then
the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount 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 (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to
deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was
executed, and (2) 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 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 (1) 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, together with applicable
confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. 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.
C-4
vi. 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 Holder would
otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a
cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such
fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.
vii. 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.
viii. 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.
Section
3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (A) pays a stock
dividend or otherwise make 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 pursuant to this Warrant), (B)
subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares,
(C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) 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 before such event and of which the denominator shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event and the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately
adjusted. 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.
C-5
b) Subsequent
Equity Sales. If the
Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, commencing on the date hereof
and expiring one year from the Filing Date (as defined in Section 1.1 of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof among the Company and
the Holder), shall offer, sell, grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or
grant any right to reprice its securities, 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 entitling any Person to acquire
shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then
Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base
Share Price” and
such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive
Issuance”), as
adjusted hereunder (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 is issued in
connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at
an effective price per share which is less than the Exercise Price, such
issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price),
then, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Share Price and 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. The Company shall notify the
Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this section, indicating
therein the applicable issuance price, or of 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, after the date of such 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.
c) Pro
Rata Distributions. If the
Company, at any time prior to the Termination Date, shall distribute to all
holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its
indebtedness or assets 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 VWAP determined as of the record
date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP 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 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 Holders 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.
C-6
d) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger
or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company
effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of
related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities,
cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification 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
(in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then,
upon any subsequent conversion of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right
to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such
exercise absent such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, (a)
upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving
corporation, and Alternate Consideration receivable upon or as a result of such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets
by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such event or (b) if the Company is acquired in
an all cash transaction, cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined
in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing formula (the “Alternate
Consideration”). 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. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any
successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction
shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions
and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate
Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3(d) and insuring
that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted
upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental
Transaction.
e) Exempt
Issuance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments, Alternate Consideration nor
notices shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 3 in respect of an
Exempt Issuance.
C-7
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. The number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares of Common Stock
owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the description of any
such shares of Common Stock shall be considered on issue or sale of Common
Stock. 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) Voluntary
Adjustment By Company. The
Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current
Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by
the Board of Directors of the Company.
h) Notice
to Holders.
i. Adjustment
to Exercise Price.
Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 3, the Company
shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price
after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment. If the Company issues a variable rate security, 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 in the case of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement), or the lowest possible adjustment price in the case of an MFN
Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement.
ii. Notice
to Allow Exercise by Xxxxxx. If (A)
the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) 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, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock
is converted into other securities, cash or property; (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 addresses 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. The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the
20-day period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the
event triggering such notice.
C-8
Section
4. Transfer
of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject
to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth
in Sections 5(a) and 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the
Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in
whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Company, 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 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. A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for
the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
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.
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 registered pursuant to an effective
registration
statement under the Securities Act and
under
applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a
condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this
Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel
(which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of
counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be made
without
registration under
the
Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that
the holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter
in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be
an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), or (a)(8)
promulgated under the Securities Act or a qualified institutional buyer as
defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
C-9
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
a) Title
to Warrant. Prior
to the Termination Date and subject to compliance with applicable laws and
Section 4 of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the Company by the
Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant
together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto properly endorsed. The
transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Company.
b) No
Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise. This
Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a
shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of
this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or by means of a
cashless exercise), the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be
issued to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of
business on the later of the date of such surrender or payment.
c) 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.
d) 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 be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday,
then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next
succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.
e) 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.
C-10
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
(a) 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, (b)
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 (c) 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.
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.
f) 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.
g) Restrictions. The
Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state
and federal securities laws.
h) 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

knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in
any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts
as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not

of Liability. No
provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise

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

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.
