THIS
SERIES B COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that,
for value received, _____________ (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the
terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter
set forth, at any time on or after the earlier of (i) Authorized Share Approval
or (ii) the 18th month anniversary
of the Issue Date (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the
close of business on the five year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date
(the
“Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase
from Zealous Trading Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”),
up to ______ shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Common
Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this
Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section
2(b).
Section
1. Definitions. Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth
in
that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”),
dated October 16, 2007, among the Company and the purchasers signatory
thereto.
Section
2. Exercise.
a) Exercise
of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be made, 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 of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed
hereto (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by
notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder
appearing on the books of the Company); and, within 3 Trading Days of the date
said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have
received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares
thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States
bank. 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 3 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 2 Business Days
of
receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy,
the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence
of manifest error. 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 $0.03, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless
Exercise. If at any time after the completion of the
then-applicable holding period required by Rule 144, or any successor provision
then in effect, which would allow “tacking” of the holding period of this
Warrant and the Warrant Shares pursuant to the SEC Manual of Publicly Available
Telephone Interpretations or other Commission rule or guidance, there is no
effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available
for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder at a time when such
Registration Statement is required to be effective pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement, 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
VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such
election;
(B)
= the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
(X)
= the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a
cashless exercise.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall
be
automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section
2(c).
d) Exercise
Limitations; Xxxxxx’s Restrictions. 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 person or entity 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 (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised
portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation,
any other 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(d), 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(d) applies, the 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. 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 2(d), 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 (x) the Company’s most recent
periodic or annual report, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the
Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common
Stock
2
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 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 exercise of this Warrant. The Beneficial
Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d) may be waived by the
Holder, at the election of the Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice
to the Company to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to 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, and
the
provisions of this Section 2(d) shall continue to apply. Upon such a
change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99%
limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may
not
be further waived by the Holder. 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(d) 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.
e) Mechanics
of Exercise.
i. Delivery
of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased
hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository
Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”)
system if the Company is a participant in such system and there is an effective
Registration Statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares by the
Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the
Holder in the Notice of Exercise within 3 Trading Days from the delivery to
the
Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant (if required)
and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (“Warrant
Share Delivery Date”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been
exercised on the date the Exercise Price is received by the
Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and
Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed
to
have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date
the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price
(or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by
the
Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(e)(vi) prior to the issuance of such
shares, have been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the
Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of
Exercise by the second (2nd) 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 such Warrant Share Delivery Date until
such certificates are delivered.
3
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
certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder
a new
Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant
Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects
be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to
transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant
Shares pursuant to this Section 2(e)(i) by the second (2nd) Trading
Day
following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right
to rescind such exercise.
iv. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon
Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the
Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant
to
an exercise on or before the second (2nd) Trading
Day
following 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 (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares
of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A)
the
number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder
in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell
order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the
option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent
number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver
to
the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued
had
the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations
hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a
total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted
exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise
to
such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000.
The
Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable
to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In 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
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant
as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
4
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 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.
vi. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares
shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or
other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all
of
which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates
shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be
directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event
certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name
of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied
by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the
Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient
to
reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
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.
f) Alternative
Exercise Date. If as of the Initial Exercise Date the Company has not
received the Authorized Share Approval, the Holder shall have the option to
exercise this Warrant for an amount, in cash, equal to the product of (i) the
number of Warrant Shares then outstanding multiplied by (ii) the difference
between (A) the then Exercise Price and (B) the average of the closing bid
prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to the Initial Exercise
Date.
Section
3. Certain
Adjustments.
a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or
distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity
equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance
of
doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon
exercise of this Warrant), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock
split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
or
(D) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of
capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares
of
Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding 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.
5
b) Subsequent
Equity Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant 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 entitling any Person
to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than
the
then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such
issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether
by
operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion,
exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights
per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to
receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less
than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for
less
than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the
Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price
and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such
that
the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the
decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price
prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section
3(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the
Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of
any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3(b),
indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price,
exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the
“Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification,
whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to
this
Section 3(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date
of
such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant
Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder
accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of
Exercise.
c) Subsequent
Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time while the Warrant
is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common
Stock (and not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares
of
Common Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP at the record date
mentioned below, then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction,
of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number
of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase,
and
of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number
of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares
so
offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable
upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such
VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants
are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for
the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or
warrants.
d) Pro
Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and
not
to Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including
cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any
security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 3(b)),
then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying
the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a
fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record
date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such
record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of
the
portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable
to
one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of
Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be
described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or
evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable
to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever
any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after
the
record date mentioned above.
6
e) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the
Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, except for the Merger, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions,
(C)
any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person)
is
completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender
or
exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, except for the
Merger, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock
or
any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively
converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each
“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, 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 as a result of such merger, consolidation or
disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. For purposes
of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be
appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the
amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common
Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the
Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing
provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental
Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the
foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant
into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which
a
Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such
successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section
3(e)
and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be
similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental
Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a
Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3
transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not
traded on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market,
the
Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company or any successor
entity shall pay at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently
with or within 30 days after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction,
an
amount of cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance
with the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on
Bloomberg L.P. using (i) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the VWAP
of
the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of
consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (ii) a
risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period
equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of consummation
of
the applicable Fundamental Transaction and (iii) an expected volatility equal
to
the 100 day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg L.P.
determined as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement
of the applicable Fundamental Transaction.
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) Voluntary
Adjustment By Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this
Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period
of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
7
h) 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 mail to the Holder
a
notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth
a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. If the Company enters
into a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), despite
the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed
to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible
conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted or
exercised.
ii. Notice
to Allow Exercise by Xxxxxx. If (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, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common
Stock
is converted into other securities, cash or property, except for the Merger;
(E)
the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case,
the
Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall
appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days
prior
to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not
to
be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to
be
entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are
to
be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock
of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the
failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof
shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified
in such notice. The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant
during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date
of
the event triggering such notice.
i) Merger
Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid
or issued under Section 3 in respect of any securities issued in connection
with
the Merger (except to the extent, but only to the extent that the Merger effects
a capital change described in Section 3(a)).
Section
4. Transfer of
Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject
to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth
in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase
Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation,
any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender
of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form
attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds
sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such
transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the
Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of
the
assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in
such
instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant
evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall
promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be
exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having
a
new Warrant issued.
8
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 original Issue Date and shall be identical with
this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant
thereto.
c) Warrant
Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be
maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in
the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company
may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner
hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder,
and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer
Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection
with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be
registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee
of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section
5.7
of the Purchase Agreement.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
a) No
Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of
the
Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section
2(e)(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 stock certificate
relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction,
of
indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of
the
Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and
cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company
will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and
dated
as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock
certificate.
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 Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may
be
exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized
Shares.
Subject
to receiving Authorized Share Approval, the Company covenants that during the
period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance
of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this
Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this
Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with
the
duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights
under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action
as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided
herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be
listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be
issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant
will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be
duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with
such issue).
9
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, except for the Merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or
any
other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of
any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist
in
the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as
may
be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in
this
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares
above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such
increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid
and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c)
use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions
or
consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may
be
necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the
Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents
thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the
provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The
Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state
and federal securities laws.
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 Holder’s rights, powers or remedies,
notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination
Date. 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 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 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 Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation
of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any
affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall
give rise to any liability of 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.
10
j) Remedies. 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 of the Company and the successors and
permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are
intended to be for the benefit of all Holders 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.
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.
