THIS
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 Issue Date and on or prior to
the close of business on the three (3) year anniversary of the Issue Date (the
“Termination
Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Genta
Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to
[___________] shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrant
Shares”). The purchase price of one Warrant Share under this
Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section
1(b).
Section
1. 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
Issue Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a
duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise 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 within 1 business day 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.
1
(b) Exercise
Price. The exercise price per share of the Warrant Shares
under this Warrant shall be $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment hereunder
(the “Exercise
Price”).
(c) Cashless
Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised 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
Daily Closing Price (as defined in the Senior Secured Convertible
Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) issued
pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of March
[ ], 2010, by and among the Company and the Purchasers listed
on Exhibit A thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time (the
“Purchase
Agreement”)) on the Trading Day (as defined in the Notes)
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.
|
(d) Exercise
Limitations.
(i) Holder’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 1 or otherwise, to the extent that after
giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable
Notice of Exercise, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any
other person or entity acting as a group together with such Holder or any of
such 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
such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination
is being made, but shall exclude the number of Warrant Shares which would be
issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this
Warrant beneficially owned by such 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 such Holder or any of its
affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for
purposes of this Section 1(c)(i), 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 such Holder that such calculation is in compliance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and such Holder is solely responsible for any
schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent
that the limitation contained in this Section 1(d)(i) applies, the determination
of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by
such 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
such Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant
is exercisable, in each case subject 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 1(d)(i), 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
Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or such similar
form, as the case may be, or (y) any other notice provided by the Company or the
Company’s Transfer Agent at least 30 days prior to the date of the submission of
the Notice of Exercise setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the
Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such
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 such Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of
which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was
reported. The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 9.999% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this
paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in
strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(d)(i) 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.
2
(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 three (3) Trading Days from the receipt by the Company
of the Notice of Exercise, surrender of this Warrant 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, if such date is after
Notice of Exercise and this Warrant are received by the Company. The
Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the 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 1(e)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, have been
paid.
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 1(e)(iii) by the second Trading Day immediately
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 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
Xxxxxx’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 Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(v) No Fractional Shares or
Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which 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.
4
(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.
(f)
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.
Section
2. 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 2(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.
(b) 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, 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 Daily
Closing Price determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the
numerator shall be such Daily Closing Price 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 (determined by dividing the amount distributed by the then
issued and outstanding shares of 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.
5
(c) 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, (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, 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 2(c)
and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be
similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental
Transaction.
(d) Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 2 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 2,
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 at the close of the Trading Day
on or, if not applicable, most recently preceding, such given date.
6
(e) Adjustments for Issuance of
Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company
shall at any time issue or sell any additional shares of Common Stock (otherwise
than as provided in the foregoing subsections (a) through (d) of this Section 2
or pursuant to Common Stock Equivalents (hereafter defined) granted or issued
prior to the Issue Date) (“Additional Shares of Common
Stock”), at an effective price per share less than the Exercise Price
then in effect or without consideration, then the Exercise Price upon each such
issuance shall be reduced to a price equal to the consideration per share paid
for such Additional Shares of Common Stock 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. For
purposes of clarification, the amount of consideration received for such
Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not include the value of any additional
securities or other rights received in connection with such issuance of
Additional Shares of Common Stock (i.e. warrants, rights of first refusal or
other similar rights).
(f) Issuance, Amendment or
Adjustment of Common Stock Equivalents. If (A) the Company, at
any time after the Issue Date, shall issue any securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (“Convertible
Securities”) or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such
Common Stock or Convertible Securities (collectively with the Convertible
Securities the “Common
Stock Equivalents”) and the price per share for which Additional Shares
of Common Stock may be issuable pursuant to any such Common Stock Equivalent
shall be less than the applicable Exercise Price then in effect, or (B) the
price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable
under any Common Stock Equivalents (regardless of when such Common Stock
Equivalents were issued) is amended or adjusted, pursuant to the terms of such
Common Stock Equivalents or otherwise, and such price as so amended or adjusted
shall be less than the applicable Exercise Price in effect at the time of such
amendment or adjustment, then, in each such case (A) or (B), the applicable
Exercise Price upon each such issuance or amendment or adjustment shall be
adjusted as provided in subsection (e) of this Section 2 as if the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of such Common Stock Equivalents had been issued on the date of such issuance or
amendment or adjustment, 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.
(g) Consideration for
Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock
Equivalents shall be issued or sold:
(i) in
connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the
surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the
previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed to
or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the
amount of consideration therefor shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as
determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company
and approved by the Holders, of such portion of the assets and business of the
nonsurviving corporation as such Board may determine to be attributable to such
shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, rights or warrants or options,
as the case may be; or
7
(ii) in
the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is
not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or
other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company for stock or other securities of
any corporation, the Company shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares
of its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other
corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the
transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market
value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other
property of the other corporation. If any such calculation results in adjustment
of the applicable Exercise Price, or the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the determination of the applicable
Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be
made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the event Common Stock is
issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for
consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this
Section 2(g) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, and approved by the
Holder.
(h) Record Date. In case
the Company shall take record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible
Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock
shall be deemed to be such record date.
(i) Certain Issues
Excepted. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company
shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Exercise Price in connection
with any of the transactions described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iv)
of Section 3.17(b) of the Purchase Agreement.
(j) Notice to
Holder.
(i) Adjustment to Exercise
Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision
of this Section 2, 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.
8
(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; (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. Subject to applicable
law, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery
of the notice described in this Section 2(f) is not intended to and shall not
bestow upon the Holder any voting rights whatsoever with respect to outstanding
unexercised Warrants.
Section
3. Transfer of
Warrant.
(a) Transferability. Subject
to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth
in Section 3(d) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder 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.
(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 3(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.
9
(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, furnish to the Company a
written opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company (which opinion shall be
in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration
under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws,
(ii) that the transferor or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an
investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that
the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2),
(a)(3), (a)(7), or (a)(8) promulgated under the Securities Act or a qualified
institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A(a)(1) promulgated under the
Securities Act.
Section
4. Investment Intent; Limited
Transferability.
(a) By
accepting this Warrant, the Holder represents to the Company that it understands
that this Warrant has not been, and any securities obtainable upon exercise of
this Warrant may not have not been registered for sale under the Securities Act
or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and are being offered and sold to the
Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act and applicable State securities or “blue sky”
laws. In the absence of an effective registration of such securities
or an exemption therefrom, any certificates for such securities shall bear a
legend substantially similar to the legend set forth in the Purchase
Agreement. The Holder understands that it may have to bear the
economic risk of its investment in this Warrant and any securities obtainable
upon exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period of time, until such
securities have been registered under the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities or “blue sky” laws and therefore cannot be sold unless
subsequently registered under such laws, or an exemption from such registration
is available. The Holder further represents to the Company, by
accepting this Warrant, that it has full power and authority to accept this
Warrant and make the representations set forth herein.
(b) The
Holder agrees and acknowledges that this Warrant may not be sold, transferred,
assigned or hypothecated by the Holder except in compliance with the provisions
of the Securities Act and any applicable State securities or “blue sky”
laws.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as Stockholder
Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the
exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price, the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be
deemed to be issued to such Xxxxxx as the record owner of such shares as of the
close of business on the later of the date of such surrender and
payment.
10
(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.
The
Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding and
exercisable, 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 (as defined in the Notes) 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).
The
Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its
certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (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.
11
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:
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”)
OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS
NOT REQUIRED.
(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.
12
(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 any such 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.
