Date of Issuance: _________, 2006 Warrant to Purchase an Aggregate of _______
shares of Common Stock
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Onstream Media Corporation, a Florida corporation (the
"Company"), promises to issue in the name of, and sell and deliver to
_____________________ _______________ with offices at
____________________________________________ (the "Holder") a certificate or
certificates for an aggregate of ___________________________ (_______) shares
("Number of Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $_____ per share
(the "Common Stock"), upon payment by the Holder of One Dollar and Fifty Cents
($1.50) (the "Exercise Price"), with the Number of Shares and Exercise Price
being subject to adjustment in the circumstances set forth below.
Section 1.
Exercise of Warrant
1.1 Exercise Period. The Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in
part (but not as to fractional shares), at any time and from time to time from
____________________ (six months from the date hereof) and ending at 5:00 p.m.,
Eastern Time, on the ____ day of ___________, 2011 [five years] (the "Exercise
Period").
1.2 Exercise Procedure.
a. This Warrant will be deemed to have been exercised at such time
as the Company has received all of the following items (the "Exercise Date"):
i. a completed Exercise Agreement, in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit 1 hereto, executed by the Holder (the "Purchaser"); and
ii. a cashier's or official bank check, wire transfer or other
immediately available funds payable to the Company in an amount equal to the sum
of the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise.
b. Certificates for the shares of Common Stock purchased upon
exercise of this Warrant will be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser
within five (5) business days after the Exercise Date. Unless this Warrant has
expired or all of the purchase rights represented hereby have been exercised,
the Company may prepare a new Warrant representing the rights formerly
represented by this Warrant that have not expired or been exercised. The Company
will, if it elects to do so, within such ten (10) day period, deliver such new
Warrant to the Holder at the address set forth in this Warrant.
c. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant will be deemed to have been transferred to the Purchaser on the Exercise
Date, and the Purchaser will be deemed for all purposes to have become the
record holder of such Common Stock on the Exercise Date.
d. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of this Warrant will be made without charge to the Purchaser for any
issuance tax in respect thereof or any other cost incurred by the Company in
connection with such exercise and related transfer of the shares; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any
certificate or instrument in a name other than that of the Holder of this
Warrant or any state or federal income or similar tax, and that the Company
shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate or instrument
unless and until the person or persons requiring the issue thereof shall have
paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
e. Unless the Company shall have registered the shares of Common
Stock underlying this Warrant pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 hereof,
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") and,
accordingly, will be "restricted securities" as that term is defined in the Act.
The Company may insert the following or similar legend on the face of the
certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock if required in compliance with
state securities laws:
"These securities have not been registered under any state
securities laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of
except pursuant to an effective registration statement under any applicable
state securities laws, or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to counsel to the
Company that an exemption from registration under any applicable state
securities laws is available."
f. If at any time after one year from the date of issuance of this
Warrant there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current
prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then
this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a "cashless
exercise" in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the
number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B)(X)]
by (A), where:
(A) = the average of the 5 VWAPs on the Trading Days
immediately preceding the date of such election;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
(C) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a
cashless exercise.
2
g. The number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by a
Holder upon exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be
limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or
other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially
owned by such Holder and its affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial
ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder's for purposes of
Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), does
not exceed 4.999% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an
Exercise Agreement hereunder will constitute a representation by the applicable
Holder that it has evaluated the limitations set forth in this Section and has
determined that issuance of the full number of underlying shares issuable in
respect of such Exercise Agreement does not violate the restrictions contained
in this Section. If at any time the limits in this Section 6(g) make this
Warrant inconvertible in whole or in part, the Company shall not by reason
thereof be relieved of its obligation to issue shares of Common Stock at any
time or from time to time thereafter but prior to the end of Exercise Period
Date upon exercise of this Warrant and when shares of Common Stock may be issued
in compliance with such restrictions.
1.3 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue
fractions of shares of Common Stock on the exercise of this Warrant. The Company
shall not be obligated to issue any fractional share interests or fractional
warrant interests upon the exercise of this Warrant, nor shall it be obligated
to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, provided, however,
that if a holder exercises all the Warrants held of record by such holder, the
Company shall at its option (i) eliminate the fractional interests by rounding
any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares or (ii) within 30 days
after the Exercise Date, deliver to the Purchaser a check payable to the
Purchaser, in lieu of such fractional share, in an amount equal to the value of
such fractional share as determined by the closing price of the Company's Common
Stock as reported on the principal exchange on which the Company's Common Stock
is then traded, as of the close of business on the Exercise Date.
Section 2.
Effect of Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale
2.1 Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. In case the Company
shall at any time prior to the exercise or termination of this Warrant effect a
recapitalization or reclassification of such character that its Common Stock
shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of
shares, then, upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common
Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to purchase upon
exercise hereof shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct
proportion to the increase or decrease in such number of shares of Common Stock
by reason of such recapitalization or reclassification, and the Exercise Price
of such recapitalized or reclassified Common Stock shall, in the case of an
increase in the number of shares, be proportionately decreased and, in the case
of a decrease in the number of shares, be proportionately increased.
2.2 Reorganization, Mergers, Consolidations, or Sales of Assets. If at any
time or from time to time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Common
Stock (other than a subdivision, combination, reclassification, or exchange of
shares provided for elsewhere in this Section) or a merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets to any other person, then, as a part
of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale, provision shall be made
so that the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon
exercise of the Warrant, the number of shares of stock or other securities or
property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such
merger or consolidation or sale, to which a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock into which such shares underlying this Warrant might have been
exercised into immediately prior to such capital reorganization, merger,
consolidation, or sale would have been entitled, all subject to further
adjustments as provided herein; and, in any such case, appropriate provisions
shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder hereof to
the effect that the provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable
(as nearly as may be practicable) with respect to any shares, evidences of
indebtedness, or other securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon exercise
of this Warrant.
2.3 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted as provided herein,
the Company shall file with its corporate records a certificate of its Chief
Financial Officer setting forth the computation and the adjusted number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder resulting from such adjustments,
and a copy of such certificate shall be mailed to the Holder. Any such
certificate or letter shall be conclusive evidence as to the correctness of the
adjustment or adjustments referred to therein and shall be available for
inspection by the holders of the Warrants on any day during normal business
hours.
Section 3.
Reservation of Common Stock
The Company will at all time reserve and keep available such number of
shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of
this Warrant. Upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to its terms, the Holder
will acquire fully paid and non-assessable ownership rights of the Common Stock,
free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances except as otherwise provided
herein.
Section 4.
No Shareholder Rights or Obligations
This Warrant will not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or
other rights as a shareholder of the Company. Until the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant are recorded as issued on the books
and records of the Company's transfer agent, the Holder shall not be entitled to
any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder; provided, however, the
Company uses its best efforts to ensure that, upon receipt of the Exercise
Agreement and payment of the Exercise Price, the appropriate documentation
necessary to effectuate the exercise of the Warrant and the issuance of the
Common Stock is accomplished as expeditiously as possible. No provision of this
Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Common
Stock, and no enumeration in this Warrant of the rights or privileges of the
Holder, will give rise to any obligation of such Holder for the Exercise Price
or as a stockholder of the Company.
Section 5.
Transferability
Subject to the terms hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant with a
properly executed Assignment in the form of Exhibit 2 hereto at the principal
offices of the Company. This Warrant and the underlying shares of Common Stock
may not be offered, sold or transferred except in compliance with the Act, and
any applicable state securities laws, and then only against receipt of an
agreement of the person to whom such offer or sale or transfer is made to comply
with the provisions of this Warrant with respect to any resale or other
disposition of such securities; provided that no such agreement shall be
required from any person purchasing this Warrant or the underlying shares of
Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement effective under the Act. The
Holder of this Warrant agrees that, prior to the disposition of any security
purchased on the exercise hereof other than pursuant to an registration
statement then effective under the Act, or any similar statute then in effect,
the Holder shall give written notice to the Company, expressing his intention as
to such disposition. Upon receiving such notice, the Company shall present a
copy thereof to its securities counsel. If, in the sole opinion of such counsel,
which such opinion shall not be unreasonably withheld, the proposed disposition
does not require registration of such security under the Act, or any similar
statute then in effect, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, notify
the Holder of such opinion, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to dispose of
such security in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder
to the Company.
Section 6.
Registration Rights
The Company will register the Common Stock underlying the Warrants in
accordance with the terms set forth in the Subscription Agreement dated as of
the ____ day of________, 2006. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses
other than the fees and expenses of holder's counsel incurred in the preparation
and filing of such registration statement and any fees incurred in selling the
securities.
