Section
2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole
or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise
Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the
Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the
address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a
duly executed facsimile copy (or pdf copy via e-mail attachment) of
the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto. Within two (2) Trading
Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall
deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in
the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or
cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the
cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is
specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original
Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion
guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any
Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to
physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder
has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the
Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within five
(5) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is
delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant
resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant
Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the
outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an
amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased.
The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the
number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.
The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise
Form within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such notice.
The Holder and any assignee, by
acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason
of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a
portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant
Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be
less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price. The exercise
price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be
$3.75, subject to adjustment
hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise. In lieu of
exercising this Warrant by delivering the aggregate Exercise Price
by wire transfer or cashier’s check, at the election of the
Holder this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at
such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which
the Holder shall be entitled to receive the number of Warrant
Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by
(A), where:
(A) =
the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which
Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a
“cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable
Notice of Exercise;
(B) =
the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder;
and
(X) =
the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if
such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a
cashless exercise.
If Warrant Shares are issued in such a “cashless
exercise,” the parties acknowledge and agree that in
accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant
Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants
being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrants being
exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrant
Shares. The Company agrees not to take any position
contrary to this Section 2(c).
3
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) Mechanics of
Exercise.
i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon
Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares
purchased hereunder to be transmitted by its transfer agent to the
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its
designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company
through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system
(“DWAC”) if the Company is
then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an
effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the
Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder, or (B)
the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without
volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 and, in
either case, the Warrant Shares have been sold by the Holder prior
to the Warrant Share Delivery Date (as defined below), and
otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the
Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its
designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is
entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the
Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is two
(2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the
Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”). If the Warrant Shares can be delivered via
DWAC, the transfer agent shall have received from the Company, at
the expense of the Company, any legal opinions or other
documentation reasonably required by it to deliver such Warrant
Shares without legend (subject to receipt by the Company of
reasonable back up documentation from the Holder, including with
respect to affiliate status) and, if applicable and requested by
the Company prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the transfer
agent shall have received from the Holder a confirmation of sale of
the Warrant Shares (provided the requirement of the Holder to
provide a confirmation as to the sale of Warrant Shares shall not
be applicable to the issuance of unlegended Warrant Shares upon a
cashless exercise of this Warrant if the Warrant Shares are then
eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)). The Warrant Shares
shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person
so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a
holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date
the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the
Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all
taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to
Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having
been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the
Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the
second Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the
Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and
not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such
exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the
applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to
$20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated
damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the second
Trading Day following such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such
Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such
exercise.
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon
Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part,
the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of
this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant
Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights
of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for
by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be
identical with this Warrant.
4
iii. Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to
deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section
2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will
have the right to rescind such exercise; provided, however, that the Holder shall
be required to return any Warrant Shares or Common Stock subject to
any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to
Holder of the aggregate Exercise Price paid to the Company for such
Warrant Shares and the restoration of Holder’s right to
acquire such Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant (including,
issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such
restored right).
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to
Timely Deliver Warrant Shares 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 the Warrant
Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share
Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its
broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or
the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of
the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such
exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the
Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by
which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the
number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver
to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2)
the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase
obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder,
either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number
of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which
case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the
Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been
issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and
delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to
cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of
Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such
purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of
such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to
pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in
equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the
Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock
upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall
be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of
a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase
upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay
a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount
equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up
to the next whole share.
5
vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses.
Issuance of 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 Warrant Shares, all of which taxes
and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares
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 that
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. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees
required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all
fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for
same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
vii. Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books
or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this
Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
viii. Signature.
This Section 2 and the exercise form attached hereto set forth the
totality of the procedures required of the Holder in order to
exercise this Purchase Warrant. Without limiting the
preceding sentences, no ink-original exercise form shall be
required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of
guarantee or notarization) of any exercise form be required in
order to exercise this Purchase Warrant. No additional legal
opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the
Holder to exercise this Purchase Warrant. The Company shall
honor exercises of this Purchase Warrant and shall deliver Shares
underlying this Purchase Warrant in accordance with the terms,
conditions and time periods set forth herein.
e) Holder’s Exercise
Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of
this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any
portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the
extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as
set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder
(together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons
acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the
Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For
purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being
made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which
would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised
portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of
its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised
or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents)
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the
limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any
of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership
shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not
representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely
responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance
therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this
Section 2(e) applies, the
6
determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of
which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole
discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of
Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of
which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject
to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have
no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such
determination and shall have no liability for exercise of the
Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, except to the extent that the Holder relies on the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock that was provided by
the Company. 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, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or
confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no
liability for exercises of the Warrant that are not in compliance
with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, except to the extent the
Holder relies on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
that was provided by the Company. For purposes of this Section
2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent
periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case
may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C)
a more recent written 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 a Holder,
the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in
writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the
conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this
Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which
such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The
“Beneficial
Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company,
may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section
2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such
notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this
paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise
than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to
correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be
defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership
Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements
necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a
successor holder of this Warrant.
7
Section
3. Certain
Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If
the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i)
pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or
distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or
equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock
(which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of
Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant),
(ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock
split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common
Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case
the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of
this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant
to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or re-classification. For the purposes of
clarification, the Exercise Price of this Warrant will not be
adjusted in the event that the Company or any Subsidiary thereof,
as applicable, sells or grants any option to purchase, or sell or
grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or
announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other
disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, at an
effective price per share less than the Exercise Price then in
effect.
b) [RESERVED]
c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In
addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at
any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock
Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or
other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of
shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then
the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable
to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the
Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this
Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof,
including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the
grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such
record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares
of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale
of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the
Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right
would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in
such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such
shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such
extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in
abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right
thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation).
8
d) Pro Rata Distributions. During
such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall
declare or make any dividend (other than cash dividends) or other
distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to
holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or
otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of
shares or other securities, property or options by way of a
dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement,
scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a
"Distribution"), at
any time after the Initial Exercise Date of this Warrant, then, in
each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such
Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have
participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant
(without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including
without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such
Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which
the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined
for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the
Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result
in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then
the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such
Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any
shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such
extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in
abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as
its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation). To the extent that this Warrant
has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such
Distribution, such portion of the Distribution shall be held in
abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has
exercised this Warrant.
e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company,
directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects
any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale,
lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a
series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect,
purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders
of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their
shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted
by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv)
the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or
recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively
converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property,
or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or
other business combination (including, without limitation, a
reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of
arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such
other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock
held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or
associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to,
such stock or share purchase agreement or other business
combination) (each a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of
this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each
Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise
immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any
limitation in Section 2(e) on the 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 any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”)
receivable by holders of Common Stock as a result of such
Fundamental Transaction for each share of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on
the exercise of this Warrant). For
9
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. The Company shall cause any
successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company
is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to
assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this
Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e)
pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without
unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and
shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in
exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity
evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and
substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding
number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its
parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable
and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such
Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies
the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but
taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common
Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of
such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital
stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting
the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon
the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor
Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and
after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of
this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer
instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and
power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the
Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such
Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
f) Calculations. All calculations
under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of
this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be
issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the
number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if
any) issued and outstanding.
g) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price.
Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision
of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder
by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price
after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of
Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment.
10
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by
Holder. If while the Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company
shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever
form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock,
(C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the
Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the
approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in
connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any
consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale
or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock
is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the
Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in
each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or
email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address
as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at
least 10 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
provide such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such
notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder
constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall
simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a
Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to
exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of
such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such
notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth
herein.
Section
4. Transfer
of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Pursuant to
FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), neither this Warrant nor any Warrant Shares
issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be sold, transferred,
assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any
hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that
would result in the effective economic disposition of the
securities by any person for a period of one hundred and eighty
(180) days immediately following the Effective Date pursuant to
which this Warrant is being issued, except for the transfer of any
security as provided in FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2).
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may
be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written
notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants
are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.
Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which
may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall
execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the
Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with
such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be
dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be
identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant
Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
11
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) Representation by the Holder.
The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that
it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will
acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own
account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling
such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the
Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except
pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities
Act.
e) Transfer Restrictions. If, at
the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any
transfer of this Warrant, either (i) the transfer of this Warrant
is not registered pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or
blue sky laws, (ii) the prospectus contained in an effective
registration statement is not available for the transfer of this
Warrant or (iii) the transfer of this Warrant is not eligible for
resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current
public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company
may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the
Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, provide
to the Company an opinion of counsel, the form and substance of
which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to
the effect that the transfer of this Warrant does not require
registration under the Securities Act.
Section
5. Registration
Rights.
5.1 Reserved.
5.2 “Piggy-Back”
Registration.
5.2.1 Grant
of Right. The Holder shall have the right, for a period of
no more than four and a half (4.5) years from the Initial Exercise
Date in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(C), to register, on
one occasion, all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Warrants (the “Registrable Securities”)
as part of any other registration of securities filed by the
Company (other than in connection with a transaction contemplated
by Rule 145(a) promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to
Form S-8 or any equivalent form); provided, however, that if,
solely in connection with any primary underwritten public offering
for the account of the Company, the managing underwriter(s) thereof
shall, in its reasonable discretion, impose a limitation on the
number of shares of Common Stock which may be included in the
registration statement because, in such underwriter(s)’
judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is
necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall
be obligated to include in such registration statement only such
limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which
the Holder requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter shall
reasonably permit. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be
made pro rata among the Holders seeking to include Registrable
Securities in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities
sought to be included by such Holders; provided, however, that the
Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the
Company has first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders
of which are not entitled to inclusion of such securities in such
registration statement or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion
with the Registrable Securities.
12
5.2.2 Terms.
The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to
registering the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 5.2.1
hereof, but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting
commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected by the
Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the
Registrable Securities. In the event of a proposed filing of a
registration statement, the Company shall furnish the then Holders
of outstanding Registrable Securities with not less than twenty
(20) days written notice prior to the proposed date of filing of
such registration statement. Such notice to the Holders shall
continue to be given for each registration statement filed by the
Company during the four and a half (4.5) years following the
Initial Exercise Date until such time as all of the Registrable
Securities have been sold by the Holder. The holders of the
Registrable Securities shall exercise the “piggy-back”
rights provided for herein by giving written notice within ten (10)
days of the receipt of the Company’s notice of its intention
to file a registration statement. Except as otherwise provided in
this Warrant, there shall be no limit on the number of times the
Holder may request registration under this Section 5.2.2; provided,
however, that such registration rights shall terminate four and a
half (4.5) years from the Initial Exercise Date.
5.3 General Terms.
5.3.1 Indemnification.
The Company shall indemnify the Holder(s) of the Registrable
Securities to be sold pursuant to any registration statement
hereunder and each person, if any, who controls such Holders within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 (a)
of the Exchange Act against all loss, claim, damage, expense or
liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other
expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or
defending against any claim whatsoever) to which any of them may
become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or
otherwise, arising from such registration statement but only to the
same extent and with the same effect as the provisions pursuant to
which the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters
contained in Section 5.1 of the Underwriting Agreement. The
Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such
registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall
severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, against all
loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever)
to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from information furnished by or
on behalf of such Holders, or their successors or assigns, in
writing, for specific inclusion in such registration statement to
the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions
contained in Section 5.2 of the Underwriting Agreement pursuant to
which the Underwriters have agreed to indemnify the
Company.
5.3.2 Exercise
of Warrants. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be
construed as requiring the Holder(s) to exercise their Warrants
prior to or after the initial filing of any registration statement
or the effectiveness thereof.
13
5.3.3 Documents
Delivered to Holders. The Company shall furnish to each
Holder participating in any of the foregoing offerings and to each
underwriter of any such offering, if any, a signed counterpart,
addressed to such Holder or underwriter, of: (i) an opinion of
counsel to the Company, dated the effective date of the final
prospectus or prospectus supplement under such registration
statement (or, if such registration includes an underwritten public
offering, an opinion dated the date of the closing under any
underwriting agreement related thereto), and (ii) a “cold
comfort” letter dated the effective date of the final
prospectus or prospectus supplement under such registration
statement (or, if such registration includes an underwritten public
offering, a letter dated the date of the closing under the
underwriting agreement) signed by the independent registered public
accounting firm which has issued a report on the Company’s
financial statements included in such registration statement, in
each case covering substantially the same matters with respect to
such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein)
and, in the case of such accountants’ letter, with respect to
events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are
customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in
accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in
underwritten public offerings of securities. The Company shall also
deliver promptly to each Holder participating in the offering
requesting the correspondence and memoranda described below and to
the managing underwriter, if any, copies of all correspondence
between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors and
all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its
staff with respect to the registration statement and permit each
Holder and underwriter to do such investigation, upon reasonable
advance notice, with respect to information contained in or omitted
from the registration statement as it deems reasonably necessary to
comply with applicable securities laws or rules of FINRA. Such
investigation shall include access to books, records and properties
and opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its
officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent
and at such reasonable times as any such Holder shall reasonably
request.
5.3.4 Underwriting
Agreement. To the extent that the registration statement
containing the Holder’s Registrable Securities contemplates
an underwritten offering, the Company shall enter into an
underwriting agreement with the managing underwriter(s), if any,
selected by the Company. Such agreement shall be reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, each Holder and
such managing underwriters, and shall contain such representations,
warranties and covenants by the Company and such other terms as are
customarily contained in agreements of that type used by the
managing underwriter. The Holders shall be parties to any
underwriting agreement relating to an underwritten sale of their
Registrable Securities and may, at their option, require that any
or all the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company
to or for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to
and for the benefit of such Holders. Such Holders shall not be
required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements
with the Company or the underwriters except as they may relate to
such Holders, their Warrant Shares and their intended methods of
distribution.
5.3.5 Documents
to be Delivered by Holder(s). Each of the Holder(s)
participating in any of the foregoing offerings shall furnish to
the Company a completed and executed questionnaire provided by the
Company requesting information customarily sought of selling
security holders.
5.3.6 Damages.
Should the registration or the effectiveness thereof required by
Sections 5.1 and 5.2 hereof be delayed by the Company or the
Company otherwise fails to comply with such provisions, the
Holder(s) shall, in addition to any other legal or other relief
available to the Holder(s), be entitled to obtain specific
performance or other equitable (including injunctive) relief
against the threatened breach of such provisions or the
continuation of any such breach, without the necessity of proving
actual damages and without the necessity of posting bond or other
security.
14
Section
6. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until
Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any
voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the
Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section
2(d)(i).
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation
of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any 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.
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays,
etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any
action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein
shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such
right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading
Day.
d) Authorized Shares.
The
Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is
outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the
issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase
rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its
issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its
officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this
Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be
necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as
provided herein without violation of any applicable law or
regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which
the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all
Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of
the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for
such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the
issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer
occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the
Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its certificate of incorporation or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any
of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of
all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the
rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will
(i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to
such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may
be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations
under this Warrant.
15
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number
of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or
exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from
any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction
thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The Holder
acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of
this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize
cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by
state and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No
course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right
hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such
right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or
remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or
the Underwriting Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly
fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results
in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the
Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and
expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’
fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the
Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in
otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies
hereunder.
h) Notices. Any notice, request or
other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to
the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Underwriting Agreement.
i) Limitation of Liability. No
provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the
Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall
give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of
any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such
liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
j) Remedies. The Holder, in
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law,
including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees
that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any
loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this
Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in
any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
k) Successors and Assigns. Subject
to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and
obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company
and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions
of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder
from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the
Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment. This Warrant may be
modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.
16
m) Severability. Wherever
possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but
if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid
under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this
Warrant.
n) Headings. The headings used in
this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall
not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this
Warrant.
