COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Warrant Shares:
|
Initial Exercise Date: April 8, 2011 |
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received,
or its assigns (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 date
hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on five (5)
years of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to
subscribe for and purchase from SANUWAVE Health, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
“Company”), up to shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant
Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant
shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the
“Purchase Agreement”), dated April 8, 2011, among the Company and the purchasers signatory
thereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial
Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (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) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise form annexed hereto.
Within three (3) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall
deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of
Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the
cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable
Notice of Exercise. 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
three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company.
Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of
Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number
of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of
Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the
number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver
any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such
notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree
that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of
the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder
at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this
Warrant shall be $4.00, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the earlier of (i) the one year
anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the completion of the
then-applicable holding period required by Rule 144, or any successor provision then in
effect, there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus
available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may only be
exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the
Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = | the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise; | |||
(B) = | the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and | |||
(X) = | the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise. |
2
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant
shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).
d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for
shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to
the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The
Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian
system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then eligible to use and is a
participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective
registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or
resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the shares are eligible
for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations
pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address
specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is
three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company
of the Notice of Exercise, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required),
and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above
(including by cashless exercise, if permitted) (such date, the
“Warrant Share Delivery Date”). The Warrant Shares shall be
deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated
to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of
such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been
exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by
cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the
Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such
shares, having been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver
to the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares subject to a
Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall
pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty,
for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the
VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of
Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the
fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each
Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates
are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.
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 the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the 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.
3
iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the
Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by 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 the Transfer Agent to
transmit to the Holder a certificate or the 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 (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, 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 (1) the number of Warrant Shares
that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with
the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving
rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) 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 (in which
case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) 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 (A) of
the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay
the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and,
upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing
herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available
to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to
the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares
of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the
terms hereof.
4
v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or
scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would
otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company
shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such
final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the
Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates
for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any
issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the
issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be
paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of
the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder;
provided, however, that in the event certificates for
Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the
Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by
the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the
Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum
sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its
stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely
exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
e) Xxxxxx’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any
exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any
portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that
after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable
Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other
Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s
Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
(as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect
to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of
Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining,
nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any
other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise
analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any
of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of
this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing
to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be
filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the
5
limitation contained in this
Section
2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in
relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and
of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of
the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the
Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of
this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the
accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group
status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes
of this Section 2(e), 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 (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the
Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company
or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent 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 the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any
case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after
giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including
this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61
days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this
Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be
effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the
Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a
manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) 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.
6
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes 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),
(ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii)
combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock
any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain
unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective
date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to
Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock
Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to
the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”),
then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase
Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had
held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant
(without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for
the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the
date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the
grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the
Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder
exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to
participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of
Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to
such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right
thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
c) 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 the Holder)
evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall
be subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which
the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of
which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair
market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of
indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share
of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case
the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of
assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to
one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is
made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
7
d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
(i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company,
directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance
or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer
(whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common
Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects
any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization 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, or (v) the Company, directly or
indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase
agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization,
recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons
whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other
Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or
party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a
“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, at
the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise
of this Warrant), 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
Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to
any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). 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
8
such
Fundamental
Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental
Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined
in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving a person or
entity not traded on a national securities exchange, the Company or any Successor Entity (as
defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or
within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant
from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value
of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such
Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant
based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on
Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free
interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between
the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the
Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day
volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately
following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the
underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share
being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being
offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time
between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and
the Termination Date. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental
Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to
assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to
written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved
by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall,
at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security
of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and
substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of
capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of
Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with
an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock
(but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such
Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares
of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic
value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon
the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to,
and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the
provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the
Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the
Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as
if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
9
e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the
nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this
Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a
given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury
shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
f) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is
adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall
promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after
such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares
and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
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, or any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property, or (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. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or
contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of
the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the
Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall
remain 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 except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
10
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws
and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of
the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without
limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender
of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together
with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly
executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer
taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such
payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the
assignee or assignees, as applicable, 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. The
Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, 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 4(a), as to any
transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided
or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges
shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as
to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to
be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name
of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the
registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any
exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual
notice to the contrary.
11
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
either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for
resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information
requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such
transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the
provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof,
represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof,
will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not
with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in
violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to
sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the
Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior
to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants
that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the
Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security
reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the
posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock
certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock
certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or
stock certificate.
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the
taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be
a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next
succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it
will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of
shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any
purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance
of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with
the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under
this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary
to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or
regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common
Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be
issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will,
upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for
such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, 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).
12
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company
shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of
incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, 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 (i) 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, (ii) 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 (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations,
exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof,
as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of
Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the
Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents
thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the
provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon
the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless
exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to
exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right
or otherwise prejudice the 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 the 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 the Holder
in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights,
powers or remedies hereunder.
13
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 the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any
liability of the 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.
j) Remedies. The 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 and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted
assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any
Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of
Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof
waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of
reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
