PACIFIC AEROSPACE & ELECTRONICS, INC.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Expiring June 3, 2002
June 3, 1997
Pacific Aerospace & Electronics, Inc., a Washington corporation (the
"Company"), for value received, hereby certifies that Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, of 000
Xxxxx XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, is entitled to purchase from the
Company at any time from time to time beginning on the date of this warrant and
prior to 5:00 p.m., Pacific Standard time, on June 3, 2002, 50,000 duly
authorized shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2 below) of the
Company's common stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Warrant Stock"), at a
purchase price per share of $3.45, all subject to the terms, conditions, and
possible adjustments set forth below.
1. Exercise of Warrant.
1.1 Manner of Exercise. The holder of this Warrant may exercise it, in
whole or in part, during normal business hours on any business day by
surrendering this Warrant to the Company at the Company's principal office,
accompanied by an executed subscription agreement in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A and by payment, in cash or by certified or official
bank check payable to the order of the Company, or by any combination of such
methods, in the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of
Warrant Stock designated in such subscription by (b) $3.45, whereupon such
holder shall be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock as is indicated on
the subscription.
1.2 When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the
business day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as
provided in Section 1.1 and, at such time, the person or persons in whose name
or names any certificate or certificates for shares of
-1-
Warrant Stock shall be issued upon such exercise shall be deemed for all
corporate purposes to have become the holder of record thereof.
1.3 Delivery of Stock Certificates. As soon as practicable after each
exercise of this Warrant, and in any event within five business days thereafter,
the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of and
delivered to the holder hereof, or to the person or entity such holder may
direct (after payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes), a
certificate or certificates for the number of duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock to which the holder or its
designee shall be entitled upon such exercise.
1.4 Partial Exercise.
1.4.1 Fractional Shares. In the event of any partial exercise of
this Warrant, the Company will not issue certificates for any fractional shares
of the Warrant Stock to which the holder otherwise may be entitled, and the
Company shall not be obligated to refund an amount of cash comprising the market
value of any fractional share of Warrant Stock for which the Company will not
issue a certificate.
1.4.2 Replacement Warrant. In the event of any partial exercise
of this Warrant, upon tender of this Warrant to the Company, the Company shall
issue a new Warrant containing the same terms and conditions as this Warrant but
calling on the face thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal to
the number of shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of
shares of Warrant Stock issued upon the partial exercise of this Warrant.
2. Adjustment of Warrant Stock Issuable Upon Exercise. If the Company at
any time or from time to time after the date of this Warrant, but before
expiration, effects a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of its then
outstanding common stock into a greater number of shares of common stock, or if
the Company effects a reverse split of the outstanding shares of its common
stock into a lesser number of shares of common stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in common stock), then, and in each such
case, the number of shares called for on the face of this Warrant (or the face
of any replacement Warrant issued upon partial exercise) shall be adjusted
proportionally, and the exercise price with respect to such adjusted number of
shares also shall be adjusted proportionally.
3. Restrictions on Transfer.
3.1 Restrictive Legends. Each replacement Warrant issued upon partial
exercise or the transfer of any Warrant shall contain a legend in substantially
the following form:
THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,
OR THE SECURITIES LAWS
-2-
OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SUCH ACT. THIS WARRANT
AND SUCH SHARES MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS WARRANT.
Each certificate for Warrant Stock issued upon the exercise of any Warrant, and
each certificate issued upon the transfer of any such Warrant Stock, shall be
stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES
LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, OR
TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION, OR THE AVAILABILITY OF AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION, UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND
APPROPRIATE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. FURTHERMORE, NO OFFER, SALE, OR
TRANSFER, IS TO TAKE PLACE UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL, AT SHAREHOLDER'S EXPENSE, AND SATISFACTORY TO IT, THAT AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
3.2 Notice of Proposed Transfer. Prior to the transfer of any shares
of Warrant Stock, and during any period during which such shares of Warrant
Stock are not registered by the Company under an effective registration
statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), the holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company,
which notice shall (a) state such holder's intention to transfer such restricted
shares and to comply in all other respects with the transfer requirements of
this Warrant; (b) describe the circumstances of the proposed transfer in
sufficient detail to enable counsel to render the opinions referred to below;
and (c) designate counsel for the holder giving such notice. The holder giving
such notice shall submit a copy thereof to the counsel designated in such notice
and the Company will promptly submit a copy thereof to its counsel. The
following provisions shall then apply:
3.2.1 If (a) in the opinion of counsel for the holder designated
in the notice the proposed transfer may be effected without registration of such
shares of Warrant Stock under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws, and (b) counsel for the Company shall not have rendered an
opinion within 15 days after receipt by the Company of the notice required by
Section 3.2 that registration is required, the holder shall thereupon be
entitled to transfer such shares of Warrant Stock in accordance with the terms
of the notice delivered by such holder to the Company. Each Warrant or
certificate, if any, issued upon or in connection with such transfer shall bear
the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section 3.1, unless in the
opinion of each such counsel the legend is no longer required to insure
compliance with the Securities Act.
-3-
3.2.2 If in the opinion of either or both of such counsel the
proposed transfer may not legally be effected without registration of the shares
of Warrant Stock under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws,
the Company will promptly so notify the holder thereof and the holder shall not
be entitled to transfer the shares of Warrant Stock until receipt of a further
notice from the holder under Section 3.2.1 above and opinions as to
transferability, or until registration of such shares of Warrant Stock under the
Securities Act or applicable state law has become effective (provided that the
Company has no obligation to register Warrant Stock other than pursuant to
Section 6 below).
4. Reservation of Shares. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of the Warrants,
the number of shares of Warrant Stock that would be issuable upon the exercise
of all Warrants at the time outstanding. All such shares shall be duly
authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
5. Ownership, Transfer and Substitution of Warrants.
5.1 Ownership of Warrants. The Company may treat the person in whose
name any Warrant is registered on the Company's records as the owner and holder
thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
Nevertheless, when a Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the holder thereof
may exercise the Warrant without first having a new Warrant issued.
5.2 Transfer and Exchange of Warrants. Upon the surrender of any
Warrant, properly endorsed, for registration of transfer or exchange at the
principal office of the Company, the Company will execute and (after payment by
the holder of any applicable transfer taxes) deliver to any person specified by
the holder of the Warrant a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor.
5.3 Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
Warrant and, in the case of any loss, theft or destruction of any Warrant, upon
delivery of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company in form and amount
or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of the Warrant, the Company at its
expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
6. Registration Rights. For a period of one year following the final
exercise of rights to purchase Warrant Stock under this Warrant, if the Company
shall determine to register any of its common stock either for its own account
or the account of a security holder or holders, other than a registration
relating solely to (i) employee benefit plans, or (ii) registration on any
registration form that does not permit secondary sales, the Company will: (a)
promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to the holder of this
Warrant or any Warrant Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant; and (b) with respect to any Warrant
-4-
Stock that has not been held for a two-year period, include in such registration
(and any related qualification or other compliance filing under applicable blue
sky laws), and in any underwriting involved therein, all or any portion of the
Warrant Stock then issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as specified
in a written request made by such holders within thirty (30) days after receipt
of the written notice from the Company described in clause (a) above. If the
registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public
offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the holders as
part of the written notice described in clause (a) above. In such event, the
holders' rights to registration pursuant to this Section 6 shall be conditioned
upon participation in the underwriting and the inclusion of stock in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein. Holders and the Company (and any
other security holders proposing to distribute their securities through the
underwriting) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the representatives of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Section 6, if the representatives of the underwriter or underwriters determine
in good faith that marketing factors make it advisable to impose a limitation on
the number of secondary shares to be included in the registration, the number of
such secondary shares, if any, that may be included in the registration and
underwriting on behalf of such holders, and any other security holders proposing
to distribute their securities of the Company through such underwriting shall be
allocated in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of
securities that they had requested to be included in such registration at the
time of filing the registration statement. If such holders disapprove of the
terms of any such underwriting, they may elect to withdraw therefrom by written
notice to the Company and the representatives of the underwriter or
underwriters.
7. No Rights or Liabilities as Stockholder. Nothing herein shall give or
shall be construed to give the holder of this Warrant any of the rights of a
shareholder of the Company, including without limitation the right to vote on
matters requiring the vote of shareholders, the right to receive any dividend
declared and payable to the holders of common stock, or the right to a pro-rata
distribution upon the Company's dissolution.
8. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall
be delivered or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed (a) if to
the holders of any Warrant, to the registered address of the holder as set forth
in the register kept at the principal office of the Company, or (b) if to the
Company, to its principal office, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx
00000, or to the address of such other principal office of the Company as the
Company shall have furnished to each holder of any Warrants in writing; provided
that the exercise of any Warrants shall be effective only in the manner provided
in Section 1.
9. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is
sought. This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington.
The headings of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and shall not be
deemed to constitute a part hereof.

10. Expiration. The right to exercise this Warrant shall expire at 5:00
p.m., Pacific Standard time, on June 3, 2002.
