during the Term.
1
Exhibit
4.1
(b) Method
of Exercise.
The
Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by the surrender
of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the
principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount
of
consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of
such
exercise multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to
which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at such Holder's election
(i) by certified or official bank check or by
wire
transfer to an account designated by the Issuer,
(ii) by
“cashless exercise” in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this
Section
2,
but
only when a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the
resale of the Warrant Stock and the Common Stock underlying the preferred stock
issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is not then in effect, or (iii) by
a
combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this
Warrant.
(c) Cashless
Exercise.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, but subject to
Section
2(b)(ii)
hereof,
and commencing twenty-four (24) months following the Original Issue Date if
the
Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant
Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising
this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a
cashless exercise by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise, in which event
the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed
using the following formula:
X
= Y -
(A)(Y)
B
Where
|
X
=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder.
|
Y
=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all
of the
Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised,
the
portion of the Warrant being exercised.
|
A
=
|
the
Warrant Price.
|
B = | the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock. |
(d) Issuance
of Stock Certificates.
In the
event of any exercise of this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so
purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder’s
Prime Broker as specified in the Holder’s exercise form within a reasonable
time, not exceeding five (5) Trading Days after such exercise (the “Delivery
Date”)
or, at
the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the
Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect
or that the shares of Warrant Stock are otherwise exempt from registration),
issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
System (“DWAC”)
within
a reasonable time, not exceeding five (5) Trading Days after such exercise,
and
the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the
shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent
shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s
behalf via DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a sale or other exemption
from registration by which the shares may be issued without a restrictive legend
and the
Issuer and its transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC
system.
The
Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an indemnification reasonably
acceptable to the Issuer undertaking with respect to such Warrant in the case
of
its loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this Warrant is fully
exercised. With respect to partial exercises of this Warrant, the Issuer shall
keep written records for the Holder of the number of shares of Warrant Stock
exercised as of each date of exercise.
2
Exhibit
4.1
(e) Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon
Exercise.
In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Stock pursuant to an exercise on or before the second
business day following the 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 Stock which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
“Buy-In”),
then
the Issuer 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 shares of Warrant Stock that the Issuer 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 shares of Warrant Stock 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 Issuer 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 Issuer shall be required
to
pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer 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
Issuer. 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
Issuer’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
(f) Transferability
of Warrant.
Subject
to Section
2(h)
hereof,
this Warrant may be transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, without the
consent of the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant
may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person
or
by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment
in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax
or
other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is
exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants to purchase
the
same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent
the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder
hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on
transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be
identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares of Warrant Stock
issuable pursuant thereto.
3
Exhibit
4.1
(g) Continuing
Rights of Holder.
The
Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after each exercise of this Warrant,
upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if
any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which
such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance
with
the terms of this Warrant, provided
that if
any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not
affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such
Holder.
(h) Compliance
with Securities Laws.
(i) The
Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant
and
the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired
solely for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other party,
and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise
dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon
exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or
an
exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws.
(ii) Except
as
provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates
representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be
stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
THIS
WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”),
OR
ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED
OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES
UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS
IS NOT REQUIRED.
(iii) The
Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the
Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above, if at such time, prior to
making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice
to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer and demonstrating
that the following conditions are satisfied. Such proposed transfer will not
be
effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration
of
such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with
such
proposed transfer, or (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act
covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Issuer with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and has become and remains effective under
the Securities Act, or (b) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that registration
or qualification under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state is not
required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with
applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws has been effected or a valid
exemption exists with respect thereto. The Issuer will respond to any such
notice from a holder within three (3) Trading Days. In the case of any proposed
transfer under this Section
2(h),
the
Issuer will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state
securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify
to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any
action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in
any
state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities
or
“blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is
unavailable to the Issuer. The restrictions on transfer contained in this
Section
2(h)
shall be
in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on
transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant. Whenever
a
certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required to be issued to the
Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates
representing the Warrant Stock, the Issuer shall cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Warrant Stock to the Holder by crediting the account
of the Holder or Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through its DWAC system (to
the
extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Warrant or the Purchase
Agreement).
4
Exhibit
4.1
(i) Accredited
Investor Status.
In no
event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in whole or in part unless the Holder
is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
3. Stock
Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants; Loss, Theft,
Destruction.
(a) Stock
Fully Paid.
The
Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant
Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise
hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from
all
taxes, liens and charges created by or through the Issuer. The Issuer further
covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be
exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the
purpose of the issuance upon exercise of this Warrant a number of authorized
but
unissued shares of Common Stock equal to at least one hundred ten percent (110%)
of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
without regard to any limitations on exercise.
5
Exhibit
4.1
(b) Reservation.
If any
shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of
this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or
qualification with any Governmental Authority under any federal or state law
before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its
best
efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to
be
duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common
Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list
thereon, and maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares
of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or
as
otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Stock has been
registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act then
in
effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange
rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable
hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer
will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain
such
listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be
entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any
securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or
market by the Issuer.
(c) Covenants.
The
Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the
Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer, or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue
or
sale of securities or any other 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 the Holder
hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will
(i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then
effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the
Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would
adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all
such
action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly
and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and
clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as
provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its best
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably
necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.
(d) Loss,
Theft, Destruction of Warrants.
Upon
receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the
loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such
loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory
to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of
such
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and
representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common
Stock.
6
Exhibit
4.1
4. Adjustment
of Warrant Price.
The
Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth
in
this Section
4.
The
Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires
an adjustment pursuant to this Section
4
in
accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section
5.
(a) Recapitalization,
Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(i)
In
case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following
(each, a “Triggering
Event”):
(a)
consolidate or merge with or into any other Person and the Issuer shall not
be
the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or
(b)
permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the
Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with
such
consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into
or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property,
or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any
other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of
its
Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper
provision shall be made to the Warrant Price and the number of shares of Warrant
Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant so that, upon the
basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder
of
this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the
consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not
exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in
effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering
Event, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant
prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities and property to which such Holder
would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if
such
Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior
to
such Triggering Event (including the right of a shareholder to elect the type
of
consideration it will receive upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments
(subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the
adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section
4; provided,
however, the Holder at its option may elect to receive an amount in unregistered
shares of the common stock of the surviving entity equal to the value of this
Warrant calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes formula; provided,
further, such shares of Common Stock shall be valued at a twenty percent (20%)
discount to the VWAP of the Common Stock for the twenty (20) Trading Days
immediately prior to the Triggering Event. Immediately upon the occurrence
of a
Triggering Event, the Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing of such
Triggering Event and provide the calculations used in determining the number
of
shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of the new warrant and the
adjusted Warrant Price. Upon the Holder’s request, the continuing or surviving
corporation as a result of such Triggering Event shall issue to the Holder
a new
warrant of like tenor evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted number
of
shares of Warrant Stock and the adjusted Warrant Price pursuant to the terms
and
provisions of this Section
4(a)(i).
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Section
4(a)(i)
shall
only apply if the surviving entity pursuant to any such Triggering Event is
a
company that has a class of equity securities registered
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common
stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated
quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board. In the event that the
surviving entity pursuant to any such Triggering Event is not a public company
that is
registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or
its
common stock is not listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national
automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, then the Holder shall
have
the right to demand that the Issuer issue to the Holder that number of
restricted shares of Common Stock the Holder would be entitled to upon
the
occurrence of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights
represented by this Warrant immediately prior to such Triggering
Event
at a
Warrant
Price equal to the average of the VWAP for the twenty (20) trading days
immediately prior to the occurrence of such Triggering Event.
7
Exhibit
4.1
(ii) In
the
event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this Warrant prior to the
consummation of a Triggering Event and has also elected not to receive an amount
of restricted shares of Common Stock at a Warrant Price equal to the average
of
the VWAP for the twenty trading days pursuant to the provisions of Section
4(a)(i)
above,
so long as the surviving entity pursuant to any Triggering Event is a company
that has a class of equity securities registered
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common
stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated
quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board,
the
surviving entity and/or each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be
required to deliver any Securities or property upon the exercise of this Warrant
as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and
reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations
of
the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation
of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall
not
release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this
Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such Securities or
property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection
(a),
such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and the surviving entity and/or each
such Person shall have similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel
for the surviving entity and/or each such Person, which counsel shall be
reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, or in the alternative, a written
acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the
Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and
effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the
provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the Securities, cash
or property which the surviving entity and/or each such Person may be required
to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights
pursuant hereto.
(b) Stock
Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations.
If at
any time the Issuer shall:
(i) make
or
issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them to receive, a dividend payable in, or other distribution
of,
shares of Common Stock,
8
Exhibit
4.1
(ii)
subdivide
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common
Stock, or
(iii)
combine
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock,
then
(1)
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal
the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number
of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior
to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the
happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be
adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number
of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock
for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such
adjustment.
(c) Certain
Other Distributions.
If at
any time the Issuer shall make or issue or set a record date for the holders
of
the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend
or
other distribution of:
(i) cash,
(ii) any
evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property of any nature whatsoever, or
(iii) any
warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its
indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or
property of any nature whatsoever,
then
(1)
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
shall
be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment
multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Per Share
Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the
denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount
allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and
of
the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board and supported by an
opinion from an investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the Issuer
and
the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock,
other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase
rights so distributable, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be
adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number
of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock
for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A
reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or
from
par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of
Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a
distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares
of
such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section
4(c)
and, if
the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller
number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change
shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section
4(b).
9
Exhibit
4.1
(d) Issuance
of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
For a
period of one (1) year following the Original Issue Date (the “Full
Ratchet Period”),
in
the event the Issuer shall issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock
(otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (a) through (c) of
this
Section
4),
at a
price per share less than the Warrant Price then in effect or without
consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted
to a price equal to the consideration per share paid for such Additional Shares
of Common Stock.
(e) Issuance
of Common Stock Equivalents.
During
the Full Ratchet Period, in the event the Issuer shall take a record of the
holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a
distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption
in a
merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any
Common Stock Equivalents, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert
thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common
Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be less than the
Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale,
or
if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share
for
which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended
or
adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than the Warrant Price
in
effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the Warrant Price
then
in effect shall be adjusted as provided in Section
4(d).
No
further adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made upon
the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Common
Stock Equivalents.
(f) Subsequent
Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents Issues.
In the
event the Issuer, shall, at any time during the thirty-six
(36) months immediately after
the
Full Ratchet Period, issue or sell any Additional Shares of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing
subsections
(a) through (c) of this Section 4),
at a
price per share less than the Warrant Price, or without consideration, the
Warrant Price then in effect upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to that
price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Warrant Price
by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum
of (A)
the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the
issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus
(B) the
number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which
the
aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the Warrant Price
in effect immediately prior to such issuance; and (2) the denominator of which
shall be equal to the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately
after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock. No adjustment
of
the Warrant Price shall be made upon the issuance of any Additional Shares
of
Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other
subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion
or
exchange rights in any Common Stock Equivalents if any such adjustment shall
previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights
or
upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the issuance of

Exhibit
4.1
(g) Superseding
Adjustment.
If, at
any time after any adjustment of the Warrant Price then in effect shall have
been made pursuant to Section
4(e) or 4(f)
as the
result of any issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, and such Common Stock
Equivalents, or the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock
Equivalents, shall expire, and all of such or the right of conversion or
exchange with respect to all of such Common Stock Equivalents shall not have
been converted or exercised, then such previous adjustment shall be rescinded
and annulled and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to the
Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Common Stock
Equivalents, subject to any further adjustments pursuant to this Section
4.
(h) Other
Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section.
The
following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and
the
Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section
4:
(i) Computation
of Consideration.
To the
extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock
Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued for
cash
consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefor shall be the
amount of the cash received by the Issuer therefor, or, if such Additional
Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Issuer
for
subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public
offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price
(in
any such case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest
or
accrued dividends and without taking into account any compensation, discounts
or
expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for and in the underwriting of, or
otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof). In connection with any
merger or consolidation in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation (other
than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares
of
Common Stock of the Issuer shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or
other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefor
shall be deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good
faith
by the Board, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving
corporation as the Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be. The consideration
for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants
or
other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the sum of (A)
the
consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such warrants or other rights,
plus (B) the additional consideration payable to the Issuer upon exercise of
such warrants or other rights. The consideration for any Additional Shares
of
Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Common Stock Equivalents
shall be the sum of (A) the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing
warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Common Stock
Equivalents, plus (B) the consideration paid or payable to the Issuer in respect
of the subscription for or purchase of such Common Stock Equivalents, plus
(C)
the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Issuer upon the exercise
of
the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents. In the
event of any consolidation or merger of the Issuer in which the Issuer is not
the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock
or
other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all
or
substantially all of the assets of the Issuer for stock or other securities
of
any corporation, the Issuer shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares
of
its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other
corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the
transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market
value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other
property of the other corporation. In the event any consideration received
by
the Issuer for any securities consists of property other than cash, the fair
market value thereof at the time of issuance or as otherwise applicable shall
be
as determined in good faith by the Board. In the event Common Stock is issued
with other shares or securities or other assets of the Issuer for consideration
which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section
4(g)(i)
shall be
allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the
Board.
11
Exhibit
4.1
(ii) When
Adjustments to Be Made.
The
adjustments required by this Section
4
shall be
made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall
occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be
postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of
the
Common Stock, as provided for in Section
4(b))
up to,
but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or
with
other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent
(1%) of the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing
a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is
postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together
with other adjustments required by this Section
4
and not
previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of
exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed
to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its
occurrence.
(iii) Fractional
Interests.
In
computing adjustments under this Section
4,
fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest
one one-hundredth (1/100th)
of a
share.
(iv) When
Adjustment Not Required.
If the
Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose
of
entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase
rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders
thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution,
subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required
by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made
in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
12
Exhibit
4.1
(h) Form
of Warrant after Adjustments.
The
form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the
Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant.
(i) Escrow
of Warrant Stock.
If
after any property becomes distributable pursuant to this Section
4
by
reason of the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock, but prior
to
the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, and the Holder
exer
cises this Warrant, any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise by reason
of such adjustment shall be deemed the last shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary
herein) and such shares or other property shall be held in escrow for the Holder
by the Issuer to be issued to the Holder upon and to the extent that the event
actually takes place, upon payment of the current Warrant Price. Notwithstanding
any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record
was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be
cancelled by the Issuer and escrowed property returned.
5. Notice
of Adjustments.
Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant
to
Section
4
hereof
(for purposes of this Section
5,
each an
“adjustment”),
the
Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a
certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the
adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment
was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made
any
determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after
giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate
to
be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment.
Any
dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the
matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this
Warrant be submitted to a national or regional accounting firm reasonably
acceptable to the Issuer and the Holder, provided
that the
Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such Holder of
its
selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select
another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of objection. The
firm
selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence
shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the
Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after submission to it of such
dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. The
costs and expenses of the initial accounting firm shall be paid equally by
the
Issuer and the Holder and, in the case of an objection by the Issuer, the costs
and expenses of the subsequent accounting firm shall be paid in full by the
Issuer.
6. Fractional
Shares.
No
fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with any
exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall make
a
cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of the applicable fraction
multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then in effect.
13
Exhibit
4.1
7. Ownership
Cap and Exercise Restriction.
The
Issuer shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not
have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that,
after giving effect to the exercise set forth on the applicable Notice of
Exercise, such Holder would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of this Section
7,
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent
that the limitation contained in this Section
7
applies,
the determination of whether the Warrant is exercisable and of how many shares
of Warrant are exercised shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and
the
submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be such Holder’s
determination of whether the shares of this Warrant may be exercised and how
many shares of the Warrant are exercisable, in each case subject to such
aggregate percentage limitations. To ensure compliance with this restriction,
each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Issuer each time it delivers
a
Notice of Exercise that such Notice of Exercise has not violated the
restrictions set forth in this paragraph. In
addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall
be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
For
purposes of this Section
7,
in
determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may
rely
on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent
of the following: (A) the Issuer’s most recent Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as
the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Issuer or (C)
a
more recent notice by the Issuer or the Issuer’s transfer agent setting forth
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral
request of a Holder, the Issuer shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally
and in writing to such 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 Issuer by such Holder since the date as of which such number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial
Ownership Limitation”
shall
be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of Warrant held by the applicable Holder. The Beneficial Ownership
Limitation provisions of this Section
7
may be
waived by a Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days’
prior notice to the Issuer (“Limitation Notice”); provided however, that if less
than 61 days remains on the Warrant’s Term, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
provisions of this Section 7 shall remain in full force and effect until such
time as the Holder submits a Limitation Notice to the Company, which such
Limitation Notice may be provided at any time during such period and which
shall
be effective as of the date of such Limitation Notice for such number of shares
as specified therein. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and
implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms
of
this Section
7
to
correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or
inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained
or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect
to such limitation.
The
limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of
Warrant.
