BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE
OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO,
(ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH

SERIES C WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK (this “WARRANT”)
Warrant No C-
Cruisestock, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “COMPANY”), hereby certifies that, for value received,
(the “HOLDER”) is the registered holder of a warrant (the “WARRANT”) to subscribe
for and purchase shares of the fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock (as
adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the “WARRANT SHARES”) of the Company, at a price per
share equal to forty cents ($0.40) (the “WARRANT PRICE,” as adjusted pursuant to Section 4
hereof), subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
As used herein, (a) the term “COMMON STOCK” shall mean the Company’s presently authorized Common
Stock, par value $.001 per share, and any stock into or for which such Common Stock may hereafter
be converted or exchanged, (b) the term “DATE OF GRANT” shall mean February ___, 2007, and (c) the
term “OTHER WARRANTS” shall mean any warrant issued upon transfer or partial exercise of this
Warrant. The term “WARRANT” as used herein shall be deemed to include Other Warrants unless the
context hereof or thereof clearly requires otherwise. The Warrant evidenced by this warrant
certificate is a portion of a series of like warrants (collectively, the “SERIES WARRANTS”)
exercisable for the purchase of up to an aggregate of up to 525,000 shares of the Company’s Common
Stock (the “SERIES WARRANT SHARES”), on the Date of Grant, which Series Warrants are evidenced by
certificates of like tenor (the “SERIES WARRANT CERTIFICATES”) that have been issued pursuant to
that certain Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement of even date herewith (the “PURCHASE
AGREEMENT”).
1. | Term. The purchase right represented by this Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time after the earlier of (a) the date the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (or an alternative available form if the Company is not eligible to file a Form SB-2) covering the underlying Warrant Shares is declared effective; or (b) twelve (12) months from the Date of Grant (the “INITIAL EXERCISE DATE”) and from time to time thereafter through and including the close of business on the date five (5) years from the Initial Exercise Date (the “EXPIRATION DATE”). |
2. | Exercise; Expiration; Redemption. |
a. | Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. Subject to Section 1 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time after the Initial Exercise Date, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased. The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s) representing shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the shares represented thereby (and such shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which this Warrant is exercised. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of stock so purchased shall be delivered to the holder hereof as soon as possible and in any event within thirty (30) days after such exercise and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised, a new Warrant representing the portion of the Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the holder hereof as soon as possible and in any event within such thirty (30) day period. | ||
b. | Expiration. In the event that any portion of this Warrant is unexercised as of the Expiration Date, such portion of this Warrant shall automatically expire, and the Holder shall have no rights with respect to such unexercised portion of this Warrant. | ||
c. | Maximum. In no event shall any holder be entitled to exercise any Warrant Shares to the extent that, after such exercise, the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant Shares or any unexercised right held by any holder subject to a similar limitation), would result in beneficial ownership by any holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (after taking into account the shares to be issued to the holder upon such exercise). For purposes of this Section 2(c), beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Nothing herein shall preclude the holder from disposing of a sufficient number of other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder so as to thereafter permit the continued exercise of this Warrant. |
3. | Stock Fully Paid Reservation of Shares. All Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, be fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes (other than any taxes determined with respect to, or based upon, the income of the person |
2
to whom such shares are issued), liens and charges (other than liens or charges created by actions of the holder of this Warrant or the person to whom such shares are issued), and pre-emptive rights with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. |
4. | Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows: |
a. | Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification, change or conversion of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (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 in case of any merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to the holder of this Warrant a new Warrant so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable under this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. The provisions of this Section 4(a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers and transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4(a) shall not apply to the Reverse Merger (as defined in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS”). | ||
b. | Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired the Company shall subdivide or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision and increased in the case of a combination, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. | ||
c. | Stock Dividends. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired the Company shall pay a dividend with respect to Common Stock payable in Common Stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date |
3
of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend. | |||
d. | Rights Offerings. In case the Company shall, at any time after the Date of Grant, issue rights, options or warrants to the holders of equity securities of the Company, entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock) (excluding Exempt Securities, as such term is defined in Section 4(l) below) at a price per share of Common Stock (or having a conversion or exchange price per share of Common Stock if a security convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock) less than the Series A Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) per share of Common Stock on the record date for such issuance (or the date of issuance, if there is no record date), the Warrant Price to be in effect on and after such record date (or issuance date, as the case may be) shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price equal to the consideration received per share in connection with the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock. In case such purchase or subscription price may be paid in part or in whole in a form other than cash, the fair value of such consideration shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith as set forth in a duly adopted board resolution certified by the Company’s Secretary or Assistant Secretary. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance occurs; and in the event that such rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities are not so issued or expire or cease to be convertible or exchangeable before they are exercised, converted, or exchanged (as the case may be), then the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to be the Warrant Price that would then be in effect if such issuance had not occurred. Additionally, the Company shall adjust the number of Warrant Shares issued upon any exercise of this Warrant after the adjustment required pursuant to this Section 4(e) but prior to the date such subsequent adjustment is made, in order to equitably reflect the fact that such rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities were not so issued or expired or ceased to be convertible or exchangeable before they were exercised, converted, or exchanged (as the case may be). | ||
e. | Other Issuances of Securities. In case the Company or any Subsidiary shall, at any time after the Date of Grant, issue shares of Common Stock, or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (excluding (i) shares, rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities issued in any of the transactions described in Sections 4(a), 4(b), 4(c), or 4(d) above; (ii) shares issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants or upon conversion or exchange of such convertible or exchangeable securities; (iii) this Warrant and any shares issued upon exercise thereof; and (iv) Exempt Securities (as defined in Section 4(l) below), at a price per share of Common Stock (determined in the case |
4
of such rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities by dividing (x) the total amount receivable by the Company in consideration of the sale and issuance of such rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities, plus the total minimum consideration payable to the Company upon exercise, conversion, or exchange thereof by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock covered by such rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities) lower than the Series A Conversion Price (as defined in Certificate of Designations), then the Warrant Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price equal to the consideration received per share in connection with the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock. For the purposes of such adjustment, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which the holder of any such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities shall be entitled to subscribe for or purchase shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding as of the date of such sale and issuance and the consideration received by the Company therefore shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the Company for such rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities, plus the minimum consideration or premium stated in such rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities to be paid for the shares of Common Stock covered thereby. In case the Company shall sell and issue shares of Common Stock, or rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock for a consideration consisting, in whole or in part, of property other than cash or its equivalent, then, in determining the price per share of Common Stock and the consideration received by the Company for purposes of the first sentence of this Section 4(h), the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine, in good faith, the fair value of said property, and such determination shall be described in a duly adopted board resolution certified by the Company’s Secretary or Assistant Secretary. In case the Company shall sell and issue rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock together with one (1) or more other securities as a part of a unit at a price per unit, then, in determining the price per share of Common Stock and the consideration received by the Company for purposes of the first sentence of this Section 4(h), the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine, in good faith, which determination shall be described in a duly adopted board resolution certified by the Company’s Secretary or Assistant Secretary, the fair value of the rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities then being sold as part of such unit. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance occurs, and in the event that such rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities expire or cease to be convertible or exchangeable before they are exercised, converted, or exchanged (as the case may be), then the Warrant Price shall again be adjusted to the Warrant Price that would then be in effect if such sale and issuance had not occurred, but such subsequent adjustment shall not affect the number of Warrant Shares issued upon any exercise of the Warrant prior to the date such subsequent adjustment is made. |
5
f. | Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the Warrant Price, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately thereafter | ||
g. | Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 4, “FAIR MARKET VALUE” of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the “DETERMINATION DATE”) shall mean (i) if shares of Common Stock are traded on a national securities exchange (an “EXCHANGE”), the weighted average of the closing sale price of a share of the Common Stock of the Company on the last five (5) trading days prior to the Determination Date reported on such Exchange as reported in The Wall Street Journal (weighted with respect to the trading volume with respect to each such day); (ii) if shares of Common Stock are not traded on an Exchange but trade in the over-the-counter market and such shares are quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System (“NASDAQ”), the weighted average of the closing sale price of a share of the Common Stock of the Company on the last five (5) trading days prior to the Determination Date reported on NASDAQ as reported in The Wall Street Journal (weighted with respect to the trading volume with respect to each such day); (iii) if such shares are an issue for which last sale prices are not reported on NASDAQ, the average of the closing sale price, in each case on the last five (5) trading days (or if the relevant price or quotation did not exist on any of such days, the relevant price or quotation on the next preceding business day on which there was such a price or quotation) prior to the Determination Date as reported by the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”), the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, or any other successor organization; (iv) if no closing sales price is reported for the Common Stock by the OTCBB, National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated or any other successor organization for such day, the average of the high and low bid and asked price of any of the market makers for the Common Stock as reported on the OTCBB or in the “pink sheets” by the Pink Sheets, LLC on the last five (5) trading days; or (v) if no price can be determined on the basis of the above methods of valuation, then the judgment of valuation shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, which determination shall be described in a duly adopted board resolution certified by the Company’s Secretary or Assistant Secretary. If the Board of Directors of the Company is unable to determine any Valuation (as defined below), or if the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of all of the Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder (collectively, the “REQUESTING HOLDERS”) disagree with the Board’s determination of any Valuation by written notice delivered to the Company within five (5) business days after the determination thereof by the Board of Directors of the Company is communicated to holders of the Warrants affected thereby, which notice specifies a majority-in-interest of the Requesting Holders’ determination of such Valuation, then the Company and a majority-in-interest of the Requesting Holders shall select a |
6
mutually acceptable investment banking firm of national reputation which has not had a material relationship with the Company or any officer of the Company within the preceding two (2) years, which shall determine such Valuation. Such investment banking firm’s determination of such Valuation shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company and the holders of all of the Warrants issued hereunder and then outstanding. Any and all costs and fees of such investment banking firm shall be borne equally by the Company and the Requesting Holders, however, if the Valuation is within ninety percent (90%) of either party’s valuation, then the other party shall pay all of the costs and fees of such investment banking firm. For purposes of this Section 4(g), the term “VALUATION” shall mean the determination, to be made initially by the Board of Directors of the Company, of the fair market value per share of Common Stock pursuant to clause (v) above. | |||
h. | Subsequent Changes. If, at any time after any adjustment of the Warrant Price shall have been made hereunder as the result of any issuance, sale or grant of any rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, any of such rights, options or warrants or the rights of conversion or exchange associated with such convertible or exchangeable securities shall expire by their terms or any of such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities shall be repurchased by the Company or a Subsidiary for a consideration per underlying share of Common Stock not exceeding the amount of such consideration received by the Company in connection with the issuance, sale or grant of such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, the Warrant Price then in effect shall forthwith be increased to the Warrant Price that would have been in effect if such expiring right, option or warrant or rights of conversion or exchange or such repurchased rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities had never been issued. Similarly, if at any time after any such adjustment of the Warrant Price shall have been made pursuant to Section 4(e) above (i) any additional aggregate consideration is received or becomes receivable by the Company in connection with the issuance or exercise of such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities; or (ii) there is a reduction in the conversion or exchange ratio applicable to such convertible or exchangeable securities so that fewer shares of Common Stock will be issuable upon the conversion or exchange thereof or there is a decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants (except where such reduction or decrease results from a combination of shares described in Section 4(b) above), the Warrant Price then in effect shall be forthwith readjusted to the Warrant Price that would have been in effect had such changes taken place at the time that such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities were initially issued, granted or sold. In no event shall any readjustment under this Section 4(h) affect the validity of any Warrant Shares issued upon any exercise of this Warrant prior to such readjustment. | ||
i. | Excluded Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 4(d) or 4(e) above shall not apply to: (i) the Company’s offering of up to 1,500,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with related Series A Warrants and Series |
7
B Warrants pursuant to the Securities Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement of even date herewith (the “OFFERING”); (ii) shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued to employees or directors of, or consultants to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries for services rendered pursuant to a plan, agreement, or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; (iii) the issuance of securities pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities outstanding on the date hereof; (iv) shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend; (v) the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A Warrants or Series B Warrants in connection with the Offering; (vi) the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A Warrants or Series B Warrants in connection with the Offering, in each case, provided the issuance is pursuant to the terms of such option or convertible security; (vii) warrants issued to Midtown Partners & Co., LLC, as placement agent in connection with Offering, and shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the exercise thereof; (viii) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with a bona fide joint venture or business acquisition of or by the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock, or otherwise; provided that any such issuance is approved by the Board of Directors; (ix) the Reverse Merger (as defined in the Certificate of Designations of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock); and (x) Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants issued pursuant to Section 2 of the Investor Rights Agreement of even date herewith (the “INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT”)(collectively, the “EXEMPT SECURITIES”). |
5. | Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Company shall deliver to the holder of this Warrant a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment |
6. | Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor based on the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 4(f) above) of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise, or round up to the next whole number of shares, at the Company’s option. |
7. | Compliance with Securities Act and Investor Rights Agreement; Disposition of Warrant or Warrant Shares. |
a. | Compliance with Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired for investment purposes only and that such holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, or any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof, except under circumstances |
8
which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the holder hereof shall confirm in writing, by executing the form attached as Schedule 1 to Exhibit A hereto, that the shares of Common Stock so purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale. This Warrant and all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: |
“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE
EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO, (ii) AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED, (iii) RECEIPT OF A NO-ACTION LETTER(S) FROM THE
APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY(IES), OR (iv) OTHERWISE COMPLYING WITH THE
PROVISIONS OF SECTION 7 OF THE WARRANT UNDER WHICH THESE SECURITIES WERE
ISSUED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.”
b. | Representations. In addition, in connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the holder specifically represents to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows: |
(i) The holder is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial
condition, and has acquired information about the Company sufficient to reach an
informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire this Warrant. The holder is
acquiring this Warrant for its own account for investment purposes only and not
with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof
for purposes of the Securities Act.
(ii) The holder understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not
been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption
there from, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature
of the holder’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the
holder understands that, in the view of the SEC, the statutory basis for such
exemption may be unavailable if the holder’s representation was predicated solely
upon a present intention to hold the Warrant and the Warrant Shares for the minimum
capital gains period specified under applicable tax laws, for a deferred sale, for
or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Warrant and the Warrant
Shares, or for a period of one (1) year or any other fixed period in the future.
(iii) The holder further understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares
must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act
and any applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from registration
are otherwise available.
9
(iv) The holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 and 144A, promulgated
under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of
“restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof
(or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions, if applicable, including, among other things:
the availability of certain public information about the Company, the resale
occurring not less than one (1) year after the party has purchased and paid for the
securities to be sold; the sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited
“broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said
term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and the
amount of securities being sold during any three (3) month period not exceeding the
specified limitations stated therein.
(v) The holder further understands that at the time it wishes to sell this
Warrant and the Warrant Shares there may be no public market upon which to make
such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, the Company may
not be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144 and 144A,
and that, in such event, the holder may be precluded from selling this Warrant and
the Warrant Shares under Rule 144 and 144A even if the one (1)-year minimum holding
period has been satisfied.
(vi) The holder further understands that, in the event that all of the
requirements of Rule 144 and 144A are not satisfied, registration under the
Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption
will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 and 144A are not
exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to
sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise
than pursuant to Rule 144 and 144A will have a substantial burden of proof in
establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or
sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such
transactions do so at their own risk.
c. | Compliance with Investor Rights Agreement. The holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, understands and agrees that this Warrant is subject to, and the transfer of the Warrant Shares may be prohibited by, the Investor Rights Agreement, and holder hereby specifically understands and agrees as follows: |
THIS WARRANT, AND THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES
EVIDENCED HEREBY, ARE SUBJECT TO, AND IN CERTAIN CASES PROHIBITED BY, THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF THAT CERTAIN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT, OF EVEN DATE HEREWITH, BY AND
AMONG THE HOLDER, THE COMPANY, AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF STOCK OF THE COMPANY, AND, BY
ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST HEREIN, THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO
AGREE TO AND SHALL BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENT. COPIES OF
THE INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT MAY
10
BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE COMPANY’S SECRETARY.
d. | Exchange. This Warrant may be exchanged, without payment of any service charge, for one (1) or more new Warrants of like tenor exercisable for the same aggregate number of shares of Common Stock upon surrender to the Company by the registered holder hereof in person or by legal representative or by attorney duly authorized in writing and, upon issuance of the new Warrant or Warrants, the surrendered Warrant shall be cancelled and disposed of by the Company. |
e. | Disposition of Warrant or Warrant Shares. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant, or any Warrant Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant prior to registration of such Warrant or Warrant Shares, the holder hereof and each subsequent holder of this Warrant agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such holder’s counsel, if reasonably requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Securities Act as then in effect or any federal or state law then in effect) of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares and indicating whether or not under the Securities Act certificates for this Warrant or such Warrant Shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with applicable laws. Promptly upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion, if so requested, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify such holder that such holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 7(e) that the opinion of counsel for the holder is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the holder promptly after such determination has been made and neither this Warrant nor any Warrant Shares shall be sold or otherwise disposed of until such disagreement has been resolved. The foregoing notwithstanding, this Warrant or such Warrant Shares may (i) as to such federal laws, be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 and 144A under the Securities Act, provided that the Company shall have been furnished with such information as the Company may reasonably request to provide a reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 and 144A have been satisfied and (ii) be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise transferred to Affiliates of the Holder without regard to this Section 7(e), but only if the Company is in receipt of an opinion of counsel as to the permissibility of such transfer under federal and state securities laws and an investor representation letter from the transferee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Each certificate representing this Warrant or the Warrant Shares thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such laws, unless, in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the holder, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent or, if |
11
acting as its own transfer agent, the Company may stop transfer on its corporate
books, in connection with such restrictions. As used herein, “AFFILIATE OF THE
HOLDER” shall mean (x) any owner, shareholder, partner or member of the Holder, and
(y) any other Person that directly or indirectly, through one or more
intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the
Holder.
9. | Rights as Stockholders; Information. No holder of this Warrant, as such, shall be entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of the directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to receive notice of meetings, until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein. |
10. | Modification and Waiver. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought |
11. | Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all communications under this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) on the date of service if served personally on the party to whom notice is to be given; (ii) on the day of transmission if sent by facsimile transmission to the number shown on the books of the Company, and telephonic confirmation of receipt is obtained promptly after completion of transmission; (iii) on the day after delivery to Federal Express or similar overnight courier; or (iv) on the fifth day after mailing, if mailed to the party to whom notice is to be given, by first class mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, and properly addressed, return receipt requested, to each such holder at its address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at the address indicated therefor on the signature page of this Warrant.
