Exercise; Payment. |
(a) Exercise Period. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or part by the Holder during the term (as set forth in Section 10) and in compliance with the provisions of this Warrant at any time after the date of issuance set forth above (the “Warrant Date”), by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”) or the notice of cashless exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Notice of Cashless Exercise”) duly executed) at the principal office of the Company. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder.
(b) Exercise. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the product of (x) the Exercise Price multiplied by (y) the total number of Warrant Shares purchased pursuant to this Warrant, by wire transfer or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company. The Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of, the Warrant Shares represented thereby (and such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of
business on the date upon which this Warrant is exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder shall have the right (the “Right of Cashless Exercise”), at its election, in lieu of delivering the Exercise Price in cash, to instruct the Company in the Notice of Cashless Exercise to retain, in payment of the Exercise Price, that number of Warrant Shares that have an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined below) equal to the Exercise Price (the “Payment Shares”) from the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is then being exercised. In the event the Holder elects to exercise its Right of Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, together with the Notice of Exercise attached hereto, duly executed, and the Payment Shares shall be deducted from the Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Holder. “Fair Market Value” means, as of any date, (i) if Warrant Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the average of the closing sale price per share therefor on the securities exchange on which the greatest average volume of such shares are traded over the last ten (10) trading days before such date, (ii) if such shares are listed on The Nasdaq National Market but not on any national securities exchange, the average of the average of the closing bid and asked prices per share therefor over The Nasdaq National Market, for the last ten (10) trading days before such date, (iii) if such shares are not listed on either a national securities exchange or The Nasdaq National Market, the average of the closing bid and asked prices per share therefor in the over the counter market over the last twenty (20) trading days before such date or, (iv) if no such sales or bid and asked prices are available, the fair market value of the Company per share of outstanding Common Stock as of such date, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) Stock Certificates. In the event of the exercise of this Warrant, certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder promptly after exercise but in no event more than ten (10) business days after such exercise.
2. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All of the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or first offer, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved for issuance a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
3. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price payable therefor shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:
(a) Reclassification, Consolidation or Reorganization. In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a Change of Control, as defined below) (any of which is a “Reorganization Transaction”), the Company, or such successor corporation as the case may be, shall execute a new warrant, providing that the Holder shall have the right to exercise such new warrant, and procure upon such exercise and payment of the same aggregate Exercise Price, in lieu of the Warrant Shares theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other
2
securities, money and property as would be payable for the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as if such Warrant Shares were outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Transaction. For purposes of this Warrant, the term “Change of Control” shall mean (i) any acquisition of the Company by means of merger, acquisition, or other form of corporate reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Company are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring corporation or its subsidiary or parent (other than a reincorporation transaction or change of domicile) and pursuant to which the holders of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or other transaction fail to hold equity securities representing a majority of the voting power of the Company or surviving entity immediately following such consolidation, merger or other transaction (excluding voting securities of the acquiring corporation held by such holders prior to such transaction) or (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
(b) Stock Splits, Dividends and Combinations. In the event that the Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or shall issue a stock dividend on its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision or to the issuance of such stock dividend shall be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, stock dividend or combination, as the case may be.
(c) |
Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock Below Exercise Price. |
(i) If the Company, at any time or from time to time, issues or sells any Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined below), other than as provided in the foregoing subsections of this Section 3, for a price per share (the “Per Share Price”) (which, in the case of options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights, includes the amounts paid therefor plus the exercise price, conversion price or other such amounts payable thereunder) that is less than the then applicable Exercise Price, then and in each such case, the then applicable Exercise Price shall automatically be reduced as of the opening of business on the date of such issue or sale, to the Per Share Price. “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock, and all options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock, issued by the Company other than (A) shares of Common Stock and/or options, warrants or other Common Stock purchase rights, where such options, warrants or other rights are issued both (i) with exercise prices per share of Common Stock at the then-current fair market value of a share of Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, and (ii) to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants to, the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans or other arrangements that are approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and (B) shares of Common Stock issued
3
pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants or convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof.
(ii) In the event that the exercise price, conversion price, purchase price or other price at which shares of Common Stock are purchasable pursuant to any options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock is reduced at any time or from time to time (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), then, upon such reduction becoming effective, the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be decreased to such Exercise Price as would have been obtained had the adjustments made and required under this Section 3 upon the issuance of such options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights been made upon the basis of (and the total consideration received therefor) (A) the issuance of the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore actually delivered upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights, (B) the issuance of all of the Common Stock and all other options, warrants, convertible securities and other rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock issued after the issuance of the modified options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights, and (C) the original issuance at the time of the reduction of any such options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights then still outstanding.
(iii) In no event shall an adjustment under this Section 3(c) be made if it would result in an increase in the then applicable Exercise Price.
(iv) The provisions of this Section 3(c) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect on , 2007.
(d) Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time (i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of State of Nevada) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right; (ii) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation; or (iii) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the Holder (i) at least 10 business days prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 10 business days prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders
4
of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to the Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section 11(d).

Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the Holder a new warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall be deemed cancelled. This Section 4 shall survive the exercise or expiration of the Warrant.
