WARRANT AGREEMENT (the "Warrant Agreement" or this "Agreement") dated
as of November 30, 2001 (the "Issue Date") between Maxxim Medical, Inc., a Texas
corporation (the "Company"), and the permitted holders of Warrants issued
pursuant hereto (together with their successors and assigns, the "Holders").
Terms used but not defined herein are used as defined in the Purchase
Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated as of November 30, 2001 between the
Company and Fox Xxxxx Capital Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, FPC
Investors, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together, Fox Xxxxx Capital
Fund, L.P., and FPC Investors, L.P., the "Purchasers"), and Fox Xxxxx Medic New
Equity Corp., a Delaware corporation.
WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue Warrants, as hereinafter
described (the "Warrants"), to purchase up to 8,100,000 shares of Common Stock
(the "Common Stock") of the Company (the Common Stock issuable on exercise of
the Warrants being referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares"), and sell to the
Purchasers, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and certain third parties
purchasing such securities on substantially similar terms as contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement, an aggregate of 50,000 units ("Units"), each Unit consisting
of a share of Series A Participating Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred
Stock") and 162 Warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Warrant
Share per Warrant. All such purchasers shall initially be Holders hereunder and
shall be entitled to countersign this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. WARRANT CERTIFICATES. The certificates evidencing the
Warrants (the "Warrant Certificates") to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement
shall be in registered form only and shall be substantially in the form set
forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
Section 2. EXECUTION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. Warrant Certificates
shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board or its
President or a Vice President and by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary
under its corporate seal. Each such signature upon the Warrant Certificates may
be in the form of a facsimile signature of the present or any future Chairman of
the Board, President, Vice President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary and may
be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates and for that
purpose the Company may adopt and use the facsimile signature of any person who
shall have been Chairman of the Board, President, Vice President, Secretary or
Assistant Secretary, notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Warrant
Certificates shall be delivered or disposed of he shall have ceased to hold such
office. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and
may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant
Certificates.
In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the
Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such officer before the Warrant
Certificates so signed shall have been disposed of by the Company, such Warrant
Certificates nevertheless may be delivered or disposed of as though such person
had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate
may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of
the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the
Company to
sign such Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this
Warrant Agreement any such person was not such an officer.
Section 3. REGISTRATION. The Company shall number and register the
Warrant Certificates in a register as they are issued. The Company may deem and
treat the registered holder(s) of the Warrant Certificates as the absolute
owner(s) thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
thereon made by anyone), for all purposes, and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary. The Company shall act as the registrar for the Warrants.
Section 4. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES. (a) The Company
shall from time to time register the transfer of any outstanding Warrant
Certificates in a Warrant register to be maintained by the Company upon
surrender thereof accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer
in the form as set forth on the reverse side of the form of Warrant Certificate
attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly executed by the registered holder or holders
thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly
authorized attorney, together with the opinion of counsel specified therein, if
required. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Warrant Certificate
shall be issued to the transferee(s) and the surrendered Warrant Certificate
shall be cancelled and disposed of by the Company. The Holders, by their
acceptance of Warrant Certificates or certificates evidencing Warrant Shares,
agree that any proposed resale, pledge or other transfer (including any transfer
by issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of a Warrant evidenced by a Warrant
Certificate in a name other than the name in which such Warrant Certificate is
registered) of any Warrant or Warrant Shares may be effected only (1) pursuant
to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (and
based upon an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to such
effect, if the Company so requests), or, in the case of Warrant Shares only,
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and
(2) in each case, in accordance with the applicable securities laws of any state
of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction. Each Holder, by
acceptance of Warrant Certificates or certificates evidencing Warrant Shares,
agrees to, and each subsequent Holder is required to, notify any purchaser
thereof of the resale restrictions set forth above. Prior to any proposed
resale, pledge or other transfer (including any transfer by issuance of Warrant
Shares upon exercise of a Warrant evidenced by a Warrant Certificate in a name
other than the name in which such Warrant Certificate is registered) of any
Warrant or Warrant Shares, the Holder thereof shall give written notice to the
Company of such Holder's intention to effect such transfer and the names and
circumstances thereof and, if the proposed transfer is pursuant to clause (1) of
this Subsection, will, if requested by the Company, deliver to the Company:
(1) an investment covenant, signed by the proposed transferee,
setting forth acceptance of the provisions referenced in this Section
4 reasonably satisfactory to the Company;
(2) an agreement by such transferee to the impression of the
restrictive investment legend set forth below on the Warrant or the
Warrant Shares;
(3) an agreement by such transferee that the Company may place a
notation in the stock books of the Company or a "stop transfer order"
with any transfer agent or registrar with respect to the Warrant
Shares or such other legend as the Company reasonably believes is
required by law; and
2
(4) an agreement by such transferee to be bound by the provisions
of this Section 4 relating to the transfer of such Warrant or Warrant
Shares.
The Holders agree that each Warrant Certificate and any certificate
representing the Warrant Shares will bear a legend substantially in the
following form:
THE SECURITY REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (AND ANY PREDECESSOR) WAS
ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE
UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
ACT"), AND THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN
APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED
HEREBY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF MAXXIM MEDICAL, INC., A TEXAS
CORPORATION (THE "COMPANY") THAT (A) SUCH SECURITY (AND, IF SUCH
SECURITY EVIDENCES A WARRANT, THE WARRANT SHARES ISSUABLE PURSUANT
THERETO) MAY BE RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (1)
PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SECURITIES ACT (AND BASED UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IF THE COMPANY
SO REQUESTS), OR, IN THE CASE OF SHARES ONLY, PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND (2) IN EACH CASE,
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE
UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION AND (B) THE HOLDER
WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER
OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH
IN (A) ABOVE. THE SECURITY REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY ALSO BE
SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY, AND MAY HAVE THE
BENEFIT OF CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS, CONTAINED IN THE STOCKHOLDERS'
AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 12, 1999, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO
TIME, A COPY OF WHICH TS ON FILE AT THE COMPANY'S PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE
OFFICES.
Subject to the foregoing provisions, Warrant Certificates may be
exchanged at the option of the Holder(s) thereof, when surrendered to the
Company at its office for another Warrant Certificate or other Warrant
Certificates of like tenor and representing in the aggregate a like number of
Warrants. Warrant Certificates surrendered for exchange shall be cancelled and
disposed of by the Company.
On delivery of the Warrants by the Company to the Purchasers pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, each Holder that is a party to the Stockholders'
Agreement, dated as of November 12, 1999, among the Company and the other
parties set forth on the signature pages thereto, as the same may be amended
from time to time (the "Stockholders Agreement") will
3
have registration rights with respect to the Warrant Shares set forth in the
Stockholders' Agreement.
Every Holder, by accepting a Warrant Certificate, consents and agrees
with the Company and with every subsequent Holder of such Warrant Certificate
that, prior to due presentment of such Warrant Certificate for registration of
transfer, the Company may treat the person in whose name the Warrant Certificate
is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes and as the person entitled
to exercise the rights granted under the Warrants, and neither the Company nor
any agent thereof shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(b) TERMINATION OF RESTRICTIONS. The restriction referred to in the
legend referenced in Section 4(a) of this Agreement shall cease and terminate as
to any particular Warrants or Warrant Certificates or certificates representing
Warrant Shares when, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company, such
restriction is no longer required in order to assure compliance with the
Securities Act. The Company or the Company's counsel, at their election, may
request from any Holder a certificate or an opinion of such Holder's counsel
with respect to any relevant matters in connection with the removal of the
legend set forth in Section 4(a) from such Holder's Warrant Certificate(s), any
such certificate or opinion of counsel to be reasonably satisfactory to the
Company and its counsel. The restrictions referred to in Section 4(a) shall
cease and terminate as to any particular Warrants, Warrant Certificates and
certificates representing Warrant Shares when, in the reasonable opinion of
counsel for the Company, the provisions of this Agreement are no longer
applicable to such Warrants, Warrant Certificates or certificates representing
Warrant Shares, or this Agreement shall have terminated in accordance with its
terms. Any other restrictions referred to in any other legends required pursuant
to Section 4 shall cease and terminate when, in the reasonable opinion of
counsel for the Company, such restrictions are no longer applicable. Whenever
such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any Warrants, Warrant
Certificates and certificates representing Warrant Shares, the Holder shall be
entitled to receive from the Company, without expense (other than applicable
transfer taxes, if any, if such unlegended shares are being delivered and
transferred to any person other than the registered holder thereof), new
certificates for a like number of Warrants, Warrant Certificates and
certificates representing Warrant Shares not bearing the relevant legend(s) set
forth or referred to in Section 4.
Section 5. WARRANTS; EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. Subject to the terms of
this Agreement, each Holder shall have the right, which may be exercised
commencing at the opening of business on the Issue Date and until 5:00 P.M., New
York, New York time on November 30, 2016, to receive from the Company the number
of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares which the Holder may at the time
be entitled to receive on exercise of such Warrants and payment of the Exercise
Price then in effect for such Warrant Shares. Each Warrant not exercised prior
to 5:00 p.m., New York, New York time, November 30, 2016 shall become void and
all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement
shall cease as of such time.
A Warrant may be exercised upon surrender to the Company at its office
designated for such purpose (the address of which is set forth in Section 14
hereof) of the Warrant Certificate to be exercised with the form of election to
purchase on the reverse thereof duly filled in and signed, which signature shall
be guaranteed by a bank or trust company having an office
4
or correspondent in the United States or a broker or dealer which is a member of
a registered securities exchange or the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., together with (if such exercise involves a transfer pursuant to
clause (1) of Section 4 hereof) the opinion of counsel specified therein, if
required, and upon payment to the Company of the exercise price (the "Exercise
Price") which is set forth in the form of Warrant Certificate attached hereto as
Exhibit A, as adjusted as provided in this Agreement, for the number of Warrant
Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised. Payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price shall be made in cash or by certified or official bank
check to the order of the Company. In lieu of exercising a Warrant by paying in
full the Exercise Price plus transfer taxes (if applicable pursuant to Section
6), if any, the Holder may, from time to time, convert such Warrant(s), in whole
or in part, into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (a)
the aggregate current market price of the number of shares of Common Stock
represented by the Warrants converted, minus the aggregate Exercise Price for
such shares of Common Stock, minus transfer taxes, if any, by (b) the current
market price of one share of Common Stock. The current market price shall be
determined pursuant to Section 10(f).
Subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, upon such surrender of
Warrant Certificates and payment of the Exercise Price the Company shall issue
and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch (and in any event within
10 Business Days after such receipt) to or upon the written order of the Holder
and, subject to Section 4, in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a
certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares issuable upon
the exercise of such Warrants together with cash as provided in Section 11;
provided, however, that if any consolidation, merger or lease or sale of assets
is proposed to be effected by the Company as described in subsection (1) of
Section 10 hereof, or a tender offer or an exchange offer for shares of Common
Stock of the Company shall be made, upon such surrender of Warrant Certificates
and payment of the Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Company shall, as soon as
possible, but in any event not later than five business days thereafter, issue
and cause to be delivered the full number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the
exercise of such Warrants in the manner described in this sentence together with
cash as provided in Section 11. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed
to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be
deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date
of the surrender of such Warrant Certificates and payment of the Exercise Price.
Prior to the exercise of the Warrants, except as may be specifically
provided for herein, (i) no Holder, as such, shall be entitled to any of the
rights of a holder of Common Stock of the Company, including, without
limitation, the right to vote at or to receive any notice of any meetings of
stockholders; (ii) the consent of any such Holder shall not be required with
respect to any action or proceeding of the Company; (iii) except as provided in
Section 10(i), no such Holder, by reason of the ownership or possession of a
Warrant or the Warrant Certificate representing the same, shall have any right
to receive any cash dividends, stock dividends, allotments or rights or other
distributions paid, allotted or distributed or distributable to the stockholders
of the Company prior to, or for which the relevant record date preceded, the
date of the exercise of such Warrant; and (iv) no such Holder shall have any
right not expressly conferred by the Warrant or Warrant Certificate held by such
Holder.
The Warrants shall be exercisable, at the election of the Holders
thereof, either in full or from time to time in part and, in the event that a
Warrant Certificate is exercised in respect
5
of fewer than all of the Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise at any time
prior to the date of expiration of the Warrants, a new Warrant Certificate
evidencing the remaining Warrant or Warrants will be issued and delivered
pursuant to the provisions of this Section and of Section 2 hereof.
All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall
be cancelled and disposed of by the Company. The Company shall keep copies of
this Agreement and any notices given or received hereunder available for
inspection by the Holders during normal business hours at its office.
Section 6. PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Company will pay all documentary
stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issue of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates representing
Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of a Warrant
Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or upon the exercise of a
Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Warrant
Certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance
thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have
established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been
paid.
Section 7. MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANT CERTIFICATES. In case any of
the Warrant Certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Company may in its discretion issue, in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and
substitution for the Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new
Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of
Warrants, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant Certificate and
indemnity, if requested, also reasonably satisfactory to it. Applicants for such
substitute Warrant Certificates shall also comply with such other reasonable
regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.
Section 8. RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES. The Company will at all
times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the
aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or its authorized and
issued Common Stock held in its treasury, for the purpose of enabling it to
satisfy any obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may then be deliverable upon the
exercise of all outstanding Warrants.
The Company or, if appointed, the transfer agent for the Common Stock
(the "Transfer Agent") and every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the
Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of any of the rights of
purchase aforesaid will be irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to
reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be required for such purpose.
The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Transfer Agent
and with every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the Company's capital
stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the
Warrants. The Company will furnish such Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of
adjustments and certificates related thereto, transmitted to each Holder.
6
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment pursuant to
Section 10 hereof to reduce the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any)
of the Warrant Shares, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in
the opinion of its counsel (which may be counsel employed by the Company), be
necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price as so adjusted.
The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon
exercise of the Warrants will, upon issue, be duly authorized, fully paid,
nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and, subject to Section 6, free from
all taxes, liens, charges and security interests other than the restrictions
contained in the Stockholders Agreement. The Company further covenants,
represents and warrants that, (a) as of the Issue Date, no form of general
solicitation or general advertising was used by the Company or, to the best of
its knowledge, any other Person acting on behalf of the Company, in respect of
the Warrants or the Warrant Shares or in connection with the issuance of the
Warrants; (b) as of the Issue Date, neither the Company nor any Person acting on
behalf of the Company has, either directly or indirectly, sold or offered for
sale to any Person any of the Warrants, or the Warrant Shares except (i) as
contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) in connection with, or as contemplated
by, the issuance and sale by the Company of $50 million aggregate liquidation
amount of Preferred Stock; and (c) neither the Company nor any Person acting on
its behalf will sell or offer for sale any such security to or solicit any
offers to buy any such security from, or otherwise approach or negotiate in
respect thereof with, any Person or Persons so as thereby to bring the issuance
or sale of any of the Warrants within the provisions of Section 5 of the
Securities Act.
Section 9. OBTAINING STOCK EXCHANGE LISTINGS. The Company will from
time to time take all action which may be necessary so that the Warrant Shares,
immediately upon their issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, will be
listed on the principal securities exchanges and markets within the United
States of America, if any, on which other shares of Common Stock are then
listed.
Section 10. ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES ISSUABLE. The
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant is subject
to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of the events enumerated in
this Section 10. For purposes of this Section 10, "Common Stock" means shares
now or hereafter authorized of any class of common stock of the Company and any
other stock of the Company, however designated, that has the right (subject to
any prior rights of any class or series of preferred stock) to participate in
any distribution of the assets or earnings of the Company without limit as to
per share amount.
(a) ADJUSTMENT FOR CHANGE IN CAPITAL STOCK.
If the Company:
(1) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock
in shares of its Common Stock;
(2) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares;
7
(3) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares;
(4) makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its
capital stock other than Common Stock; or
(5) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of
its capital stock;
then the number and kind of shares of its capital stock issuable upon exercise
of any Warrant in effect immediately prior to such action shall be
proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised
may receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock of the
Company which such Holder would have owned immediately following such action if
such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such action.
The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record
date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
If, after an adjustment, a Holder of a Warrant upon exercise of it may
receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the
exercise price of each class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to
adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this
Section.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed
above shall occur.
(b) ADJUSTMENT FOR RIGHTS ISSUE.
If the Company distributes any rights, options or warrants to all
holders of its Common Stock entitling them to purchase shares of Common Stock or
securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock (or options or rights with respect to such securities) at a price per
share less than the current market price per share on the applicable record
date, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of one Warrant shall
be adjusted in accordance with the formula:
N1 = N x (O + A)
-------
(O + (A x P))
-
M
where:
N1 = the adjusted number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of one Warrant.
N = the current number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of one Warrant.
8
O = the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the record date.
A = the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered
pursuant to such rights, options or warrants issuance.
P = the offering price per share of the additional shares.
M = the current market price per share of Common Stock, on the
record date.
The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights,
options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the
rights, options or warrants. If at the end of the period during which such
rights, options or warrants are exercisable, not all rights, options or warrants
shall have been exercised, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been if
"A" in the above formula had been the number of shares actually issued.
(c) ADJUSTMENT FOR OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS.
If the Company distributes to all holders of its Common Stock any of
its assets (including but not limited to cash), debt securities, or any rights
or warrants to purchase debt securities, preferred stock, assets or other
securities of the Company, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of one Warrant shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:
N1 = N x M
----
M-F
where:
N1 = the adjusted number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of one Warrant.
N = the current number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of one Warrant.
M = the current market price per share of Common Stock on the
record date mentioned below.
F = the fair market value on the record date of the assets,
securities, rights or warrants applicable to one share of
Common Stock. The Board of Directors shall determine the
fair market value in good faith.
The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such
distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the distribution.
9
This subsection does not apply to distributions of capital stock
referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 10 and to distributions of rights,
options or warrants referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 10.
(d) ADJUSTMENT FOR COMMON STOCK ISSUE.
If the Company issues shares of Common Stock to Fox Xxxxx & Company,
LLC, or its Affiliates, in their capacity as such (as defined in the
Stockholders' Agreement) for a consideration per share less than the current
market price per share on the date the Company fixes the offering price of such
additional shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of one
Warrant shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:
N1 = N x A
-----
O + P
_
M
where:
N1 = the adjusted number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of one Warrant.
N = the current number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of one Warrant.
O = the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the
issuance of such additional shares.
P = the aggregate consideration received for the issuance of
such additional shares.
M = the current market price per share of Common Stock on the
date of sale of such additional shares.
A = the number of shares outstanding immediately after the
issuance of such additional shares.
The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such issuance
is made, and shall become effective immediately after such issuance.
This subsection (d) does not apply to:
(1) any of the transactions described in subsections (b) and (c)
of this Section 10,
(2) the exercise of Warrants, or the conversion or exchange of
other securities convertible or exchangeable for Common Stock,
10
(3) Common Stock issued upon the exercise of warrants and stock
options outstanding on the Issue Date, or
(4) Common Stock issued in a bona fide underwritten public
offering.
(e) ADJUSTMENT FOR CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES ISSUE.
If the Company issues any securities convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Stock (other than securities issued in transactions described in
subsections (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 10) to Fox Xxxxx & Company, LLC and
its Affiliates, in their capacity as such for a consideration per share of
Common Stock initially deliverable upon conversion or exchange of such
securities less than the current market price per share on the date of issuance
of such securities, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of one
Warrant shall be adjusted in accordance with this formula:
N1 = N x O + D
--------
O + P
-
M
where:
N1 = the adjusted number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of one Warrant.
N = the then current number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of one Warrant.
O = the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the
issuance of such securities.
P = the aggregate consideration received for the issuance of
such securities.
M = the current market price per share on the date of sale of
such securities.
D = the maximum number of shares deliverable upon conversion or
in exchange for such securities at the initial conversion or
exchange rate.
The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such issuance
is made, and shall become effective immediately after such issuance.
If all of the Common Stock deliverable upon conversion or exchange of
such securities have not been issued when such securities are no longer
outstanding, then the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of one
Warrant shall promptly be readjusted to the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of one Warrant which would then be in effect had
11
the adjustment upon the issuance of such securities been made on the basis of
the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or exchange
of such securities.
This subsection (e) does not apply to convertible securities issued in
a bona fide underwritten public offering.
(f) CURRENT MARKET PRICE.
In Sections 5 and 11 and in subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this
Section 10, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date is
the average of the Quoted Prices of the Common Stock for 10 consecutive trading
days commencing 15 trading days before the date in question. The "Quoted Price"
of the Common Stock is the last reported sales price of the Common Stock as
reported by NASDAQ, National Market System, or if the Common Stock is listed on
a securities exchange, the last reported sales price of the Common Stock on such
exchange which shall be for consolidated trading if applicable to such exchange,
or if neither so reported or listed, the last reported bid price of the Common
Stock. In the absence of one or more such quotations, the Board of Directors of
the Company shall determine the current market price (i) based on the most
recently completed arm's length transaction between the Company and a person
other than an Affiliate of the Company and the closing of which occurs on such
date or shall have occurred within the three months preceding such date, (ii) if
no such transaction shall have occurred on such date or within such three month
period, the value of the security most recently determined as of a date within
the six months preceding such date by a nationally recognized financial advisory
or appraisal firm selected by the Company's Board of Directors which is not an
Affiliate of the Company (an "Independent Financial Advisor") or (iii) if
neither clause (i) nor (ii) is applicable or at the election of either the
Company or the Holders of at least 50% of the total Warrants issued under this
Agreement (subject to adjustment pursuant to this Section 10), then the value of
the security shall be determined as of such date by an Independent Financial
Advisor.
(g) CONSIDERATION RECEIVED.
For purposes of any computation respecting consideration received
pursuant to subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 10, the following shall
apply:
(1) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for
cash, the consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided
that in no case shall any deduction be made for any commissions,
discounts or other expenses incurred by the Company for any
underwriting of the issue or otherwise in connection therewith;
(2) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for a
consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration
other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors (irrespective of
the accounting treatment thereof), whose determination shall be
conclusive, and described in a Board resolution;
(3) in the case of the issuance of securities convertible into or
exchangeable for shares, the aggregate consideration received therefor
shall be
12
deemed to be the consideration received by the Company for the
issuance of such securities plus the additional minimum consideration,
if any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange
thereof (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same
manner as provided in clauses (1) and (2) of this subsection).
(h) WHEN DE MINIMIS ADJUSTMENT MAY BE DEFERRED.
No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of one Warrant need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or
decrease of at least 1% in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of one Warrant. Any adjustments that are not made shall be carried forward and
taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
All calculations under this Section shall be made to the nearest
1/100th of a share.
(i) WHEN NO ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED.
No adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in Section 10
(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) hereof if a Holder actually participates in an
issuance or distribution pursuant to Section 10 (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e)
hereof.
No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Common Stock
pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest.
No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par
value of the Common Stock.
To the extent the Warrants become convertible into cash, no adjustment
need be made thereafter as to the cash. Interest will not accrue on the cash.
(j) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT.
Whenever the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of one
Warrant is adjusted, the Company shall provide the notices required by Section
12 hereof.
(k) NOTICE OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.
If:
(1) the Company takes any action that would require an adjustment
in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of one Warrant
pursuant to subsection (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 10
and if the Company does not arrange for Holders to participate
pursuant to subsection (i) of this Section 10;
(2) the Company takes any action that would require a
supplemental Warrant Agreement pursuant to subsection (l) of this
Section 10; or
13
(3) there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the
Company shall mail to Holders a notice stating the proposed record
date for a dividend or distribution or the proposed effective date of
a subdivision, combination, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
transfer, lease, liquidation or dissolution,
then the Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before such date.
Failure to mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect the validity of
the transaction.
(l) REORGANIZATION OF COMPANY.
If the Company consolidates or merges with or into any person, upon
consummation of such transaction the Warrants shall automatically become
exercisable for the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which
the Holder would have owned immediately after the consolidation or merger if the
Holder had exercised the Warrant immediately before the effective date of the
transaction. Concurrently with the consummation of such transaction, the
corporation formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger if other
than the Company, or the person to which such sale or conveyance shall have been
made, shall enter into a supplemental Warrant Agreement so providing and further
providing for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practical to the adjustments provided for in this Section. The successor company
shall mail to Holders a notice describing the supplemental Warrant Agreement.
If the issuer of securities deliverable upon exercise of Warrants
under the supplemental Warrant Agreement is an affiliate of the formed or
surviving corporation, that issuer shall join in the supplemental Warrant
Agreement.
If this subsection (l) applies, subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e)
of this Section 10 do not apply.
(m) COMPANY DETERMINATION FINAL.
Any determination that the Company or the Board of Directors must make
pursuant to subsection (a), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) or (i) of this Section 10
which is made in good faith shall be conclusive.
(n) WHEN ISSUANCE OR PAYMENT MAY BE DEFERRED.
In any case in which this Section 10 shall require that an adjustment
in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of one Warrant be made
effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to
defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any
Warrant exercised after such record date the Warrant Shares and other capital
stock of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the
Warrant Shares and other capital stock of the Company, if any, issuable upon
such exercise on the basis of the current number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of one Warrant and (ii) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in
lieu of a fractional share pursuant to Section 11; provided, however, that the
Company shall deliver to such Holder a due xxxx or other appropriate instrument
evidencing such Holder's right to receive such additional Warrant Shares, other
capital stock and cash upon the occurrence of the event requiring such
adjustment.
14
(o) Adjustment in Exercise Price.
Upon each adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares pursuant to this
Section 10, the Exercise Price for each Warrant outstanding prior to the making
of the adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares shall thereafter be adjusted
to the Exercise Price (calculated to the nearest hundredth) obtained from the
following formula:
E1 = E x N
-----
N1
where
E1 = the adjusted Exercise Price.
E = the Exercise Price prior to adjustment.
N1 = the adjusted number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of a Warrant.
N = the number or Warrant shares previously issuable upon
exercise of a Warrant prior to adjustment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall the
Exercise Price for a Warrant be reduced below the par value of the Warrant Share
underlying such Warrant.
(p) FORM OF WARRANTS.
Irrespective of any adjustments in the number or kind of shares
purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, Warrants theretofore or
thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of
shares as are stated in the Warrants initially issuable pursuant to this
Agreement.
(q) NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT.
The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation
or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets,
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 the Warrants,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms
and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
(including through a reduction in the par value of Warrant Shares as necessary)
in order to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or other
impairment.
Section 11. FRACTIONAL INTERESTS. Any one Warrant may be exercised
only in full and not in part. The Company shall not be required to issue
fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of Warrants. If more than one Warrant
shall be presented for exercise at the same time by the same Holder, the number
of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall
be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable
on exercise of the Warrants so requested to be exercised. If any fraction of a
Warrant Share
15
would, except for the provisions of this Section 11, be issuable on the exercise
of any Warrants (or specified portion thereof) , the Company shall pay an amount
in cash equal to the product of (i) such fraction of a Warrant Share and (ii)
the difference between the current market price of a share of Common Stock and
the Exercise Price.
Section 12. NOTICES TO HOLDERS. Upon any adjustment of the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of one Warrant pursuant to Section 10, the
Company shall promptly thereafter (i) no later than the delivery of the audit
opinion of a firm of independent public accountants of recognized standing
selected by the Board of Directors of the Company (who may be the regular
auditors of the Company) with respect to the then current fiscal year of the
Company, cause to be filed with the Company a certificate which includes the
report of such firm setting forth the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of one Warrant after such adjustment and setting forth in reasonable
detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculations are
based, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of the
matters set forth therein, and (ii) cause to be given to each of the registered
holders of the Warrant Certificates at such holder's address appearing on the
Warrant register written notice of such adjustments by first class mail, postage
prepaid. Where appropriate, such notice may be given in advance and included as
a part of the notice required to be mailed under the other provisions of this
Section 12.
In case:
(a) the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of shares
of Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock or of any other subscription rights or warrants; or
(b) the Company shall authorize the distribution to all holders of
shares of Common Stock of evidences of its indebtedness or assets (other
than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated
earnings or earned surplus or dividends payable in shares of Common Stock
or distributions referred to in subsection (a) of Section 10 hereof); or
(c) of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and
for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required or of any
reclassification or change of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision
or combination), or a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common
Stock by the Company; or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company; or
(e) the Company proposes to take any action (other than actions of the
character described in Section 10(a)) which would require an adjustment of
the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of one Warrant pursuant
to Section 10;
then the Company shall cause to be given to each of the registered holders of
the Warrant Certificates at such holder's address appearing on the Warrant
register, at least 20 days (or 10 days
16
in any case specified in clauses (a) or (b) above) prior to the applicable
record date hereinafter specified, or promptly in the case of events for which
there is no record date, by first class mail, postage prepaid, a written notice
stating (i) the date as of which the holders of record of shares of Common Stock
to be entitled to receive any such rights, options, warrants or distribution are
to be determined, or (ii) the initial expiration date set forth in any tender
offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock by the Company, or (iii) the
date on which any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or consummated, and
the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of shares of Common
Stock shall be entitled to exchange such shares for securities or other
property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. The failure to
give the notice required by this Section 12 or any defect therein shall not
affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, option, warrant,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, or the vote upon any action.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any of the Warrant
Certificates shall be construed as conferring upon the holders thereof the right
to vote or to consent or to receive notice as shareholders in respect of the
meetings of shareholders or the election of Directors of the Company or any
other matter, or any rights whatsoever as shareholders of the Company.
Section 13. MANDATORY EXERCISE IN THE EVENT OF AN INITIAL PUBLIC
OFFERING. At the request of the Company, in the event of an underwritten initial
public offering or public offerings (on a cumulative basis) of shares of Common
Stock of the Company pursuant to a registration statement or registration
statements under the Securities Act with aggregate proceeds to the Company of at
least $50.0 million, the Holders shall exercise their Warrants to purchase
Common Stock of the Company upon consummation of such initial public offering or
at such other mutually agreed upon date on or before the date of consummation of
such initial public offering.
Section 14. NOTICES TO COMPANY AND HOLDERS. Any notice or demand

Form of Reverse Side of Warrant Certificate
The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly
authorized issue of Warrants expiring November __, 2016, entitling the holder
hereof on exercise to receive one share of Common Stock, $0.001 par value, of
the Company (the "Common Stock") per Warrant exercised, and are issued or to be
issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement, dated as of November __, 2001 (the
"Warrant Agreement"), duly executed and delivered by the Company, which Warrant
Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this
instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation
of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company and the
holders (the words "holders" or "holder" meaning the registered holders or
registered holder) of the Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be
obtained by the holder hereof upon written request to the Company.
Warrants may be exercised at any time on or before 5:00 P.M., New
York, New York time, November __, 2016. The holder of Warrants evidenced by this
Warrant Certificate may exercise them by surrendering this Warrant Certificate,
with the form of election to purchase set forth hereon properly completed and
executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price in cash at the office of
the Company designated for such purpose. In lieu of exercising the Warrants
evidenced by this Warrant Certificate by paying in full the Exercise Price and
transfer taxes (if applicable pursuant to Section 6 of the Warrant Agreement),
if any, the holder of the Warrants may, from time to time, convert the Warrants
evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, in whole or in part, into a number of
shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (a) the aggregate current market
price of the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Warrants
converted, minus the aggregate Exercise Price for such shares of Common Stock
and transfer taxes, if any, by (b) the current market price of one share of
Common Stock. The current market price shall be determined pursuant to Section
10(f) of the Warrant Agreement. In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants
evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total
number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be issued to the holder hereof
or such holder's assignee a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of
Warrants not exercised. No adjustment shall be made for any dividend on any
common stock issuable upon exercise of this warrant.
The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain
events the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of one Warrant set
forth on the face hereof may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted. No
fractions of a share of Common Stock will be issued upon the exercise of any
Warrant, but the Company will pay the cash value thereof determined as provided
in the Warrant Agreement.
Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at the office of the Company by
the registered holder thereof in person or by legal representative or attorney
duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject to the
limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any
service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like
tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants.
Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of this Warrant
Certificate at the office of the Company a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant
Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of
Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in ex-
A-4
change for this Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the
Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any tax or other governmental
charge imposed in connection therewith.
The Company may deem and treat the registered holder(s) hereof as the
absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any
exercise hereof, of any distribution to the holder(s) hereof, and for all other
purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Neither the Warrants nor this Warrant Certificate entitles any holder hereof to
any rights of a stockholder of the Company.
