Warrant for the Purchase of Shares of
Common Stock
Shares | , 20 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, xXxxxx.xxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that or his assigns, is entitled to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time commencing on the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and expiring at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the ten (10) year anniversary of the Original Issue Date (the “Expiration Date”) ( ) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) for a per share exercise price of $1.20 (the “Per Share Warrant Price”). The Per Share Warrant Price is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Warrant shall have the meanings specified in Section 8, unless the context otherwise requires.
1. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) This Warrant may be exercised, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, commencing on the Initial Exercise Date and expiring at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date (with the Exercise Notice at the end of this Warrant duly executed) at the address set forth in Section 10 hereof, together with payment of the Per Share Warrant Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares to which such exercise relates made by delivery to the Company of one or more types of Permitted Consideration.
(b) If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company will deliver to the Holder within three Trading Days of the date such Holder delivers to the Company this Warrant and an Exercise Notice, together with the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise, a new Warrant covering the Warrant Shares that have not been exercised. By the expiration of the third Trading Day following the Holder’s delivery of a Warrant, together with an Exercise Notice and the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise,
the Company will (i) issue a certificate or certificates in the name of the Holder for the largest number of whole shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled and, if this Warrant is exercised in whole, in lieu of any fractional share of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the fair value of such fractional share (determined by reference to the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of the Exercise Notice), and (ii) deliver the other securities and properties receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, or the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant.
(c) If, by the third Trading Day after the date that the Holder delivers an Exercise Notice, together with the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise, the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 1(b), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
(d) If, by the third Trading Day after the date that the Holder delivers an Exercise Notice, together with the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise, the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 1(b), and if after such third Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (B) the closing bid price of the Common Stock at the time of the obligation giving rise to such purchase obligation and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
(e) If, after the Required Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) the Warrant Shares to be issued are not registered and available for resale by the Holder pursuant to a registration statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, then notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise a portion of this Warrant with respect to an aggregate total of twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Warrant Shares and, in lieu of making a cash payment of Permitted Consideration, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula:
Net Number | = | (A x B) – (A x C) | ||
B |
2
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A=the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
B=the average of the closing sales prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the day that the Holder delivers the Exercise Notice at issue.
C=the Per Share Warrant Price.
2. Company’s Option to Change Expiration Date.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that (i) the closing sales price per share of Common Stock is in excess of 150% of the Per Share Warrant Price (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3) for thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days, (ii) the Warrant Shares are either registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder (and the prospectus thereunder is available for use by the Holder as to all then available Warrant Shares) or freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act, as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter addressed and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder and the transfer agent for the Common Stock, during the entire sixty (60) Trading Day period referenced in (i) above through the expiration of the Call Date as set forth in the Company’s notice pursuant to this Section (the “Call Condition Period”), and (iii) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Warrant and the Common Stock shall at all times be listed on the AMEX, New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market or the OTC Bulletin Board, then, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to change the Expiration Date for the respective Warrant to 5:00 P.M., New York City time on the date that is thirty (30) days after written notice thereof (a “Call Notice”) is received by the Holder (the “Call Date”) at the address last shown on the records of the Company for the Holder or given by the Holder to the Company for the purpose of notice; provided, that the conditions to giving such notice must be in effect at all times during the Call Condition Period or any such notice shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company changes the Expiration Date pursuant to this Section 2, the Holder may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise a portion of this Warrant with respect to an aggregate total (including any exercises made under Section 1(e)) of twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Warrant Shares and, in lieu of making a cash payment of Permitted Consideration, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in Section 1(e).
3. Certain Adjustments. The Per Share Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 3.
(a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into
3
a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Per Share Warrant Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
(b) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (1) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person, (2) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (3) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (4) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then thereafter this Warrant shall represent the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Per Share Warrant 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 Per Share Warrant Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder’s option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity (and, if an entity different from the successor or surviving entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction shall, either (1) issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price upon exercise thereof, or (2) purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five trading days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity (and, if an entity different from the successor or surviving entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such Fundamental Transaction) to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
4
(c) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall issue additional shares of Common Stock for consideration per share less than the then current market price (determined (a) in the event that the Common Stock is publicly listed, by reference to the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of such issue or (b) in the event that the Common Stock is not publicly listed, by reference to the then current market value of each share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; provided, however, that in the event of a sale, merger, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (each, a “Liquidity Event”), current market price means the amount per share payable to the holders of the Common Stock upon the consummation of such Liquidity Event), then the Per Share Warrant Price of the Warrant Shares shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Per Share Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the then current fair market price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued; provided, however, that no adjustment under this Section 3(c) shall operate to reduce the Per Share Warrant Price of the Warrant Shares to a price that is less than $0.92 per share, representing the closing bid price for one share of the Common Stock on June 22, 2009. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the Per Share Warrant Price shall be required under this Section 3(c): (i) in connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock and/or options, warrants or other Common Stock purchase rights and the Common Stock issued pursuant to such options, warrants or other rights (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like after the date hereof) issued or to be issued after the date hereof to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to the Company or any subsidiary, pursuant to stock purchase, stock option or employee benefit plans or other arrangements that are approved by the board of directors of the Company; (ii) in connection with a bona fide firm commitment underwritten public offering with a nationally recognized underwriter which generates gross proceeds to the Company in excess of $15 million; (iii) upon conversion of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock that are outstanding on the day immediately preceding the date hereof, provided, however, that the terms of such options, warrants or rights are not amended, modified or changed on or after the date hereof; or (iv) in connection with shares of Common Stock issued as consideration for the acquisition of another company or business in which the shareholders of the Company do not have a majority ownership interest, which acquisition has been approved by the board of directors of the Company, provided that after giving effect to such acquisition the Company is the surviving entity.
(d) All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1 /100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company.
(e) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 3, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Per Share Warrant Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other
5
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.
4. Fully Paid Stock; Taxes. The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock represented by each and every certificate for Warrant Shares delivered on the exercise of this Warrant shall at the time of such delivery, be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal, and the Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that the par value or stated value, if any, per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then Per Share Warrant Price. The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay, when due and payable, any and all Federal and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes which may be payable in respect of the issue of any Warrant Share or any certificate thereof to the extent required because of the issuance by the Company of such security.
5. Registration Under Securities Act.
(a) The Holder shall, with respect to the Warrant Shares, have the registration rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement.
(b) Until the later of (i) such time as the Holder shall be eligible to resell all of its Warrant Shares without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act (assuming Holder is not an “affiliate” of the Company, as defined in Rule 144), as evidenced by a legal opinion to such effect delivered by the Company’s counsel and acceptable to each of the Company’s transfer agent and the Holder, or (ii) the date on which all Warrant Shares have been sold under a Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) as promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission all current reports and the information as may be necessary to enable the Holder to effect sales of the Warrant Shares in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
6. Investment Intent; Restrictions on Transferability.
(a) The Holder represents, by accepting this Warrant that it understands that this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant have not been registered for sale under Federal or state securities laws and are being offered and sold to the Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of such securities laws. Certificates representing Warrant Shares may bear the restrictive legend set forth on the first page hereof. The Holder understands that the Holder must bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and any Warrant Shares or other securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Warrant and such Warrant shares or other securities have not been registered under Federal or state securities laws and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, or an exemption from such registration is available.
6
(b) The Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance of this Warrant, represents to the Company that such Holder is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire any Warrant Shares or other securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for such Holder’s own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. The Holder agrees that this Warrant and any such Warrant Shares or other securities will not be sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) a registration statement with respect to such transfer is effective under the Securities Act or (ii) such sale or transfer is made pursuant to one or more exemptions from the Securities Act.
7. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if lost, stolen or destroyed, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder, a new Warrant of like date, tenor and denomination.
8. Warrant Holder Not Stockholder. This Warrant does not confer upon the Holder any right to vote or to consent to or receive notice as a stockholder of the Company, as such, in respect of any matters whatsoever, or any other rights or liabilities as a stockholder, prior to the exercise hereof; this Warrant does, however, require certain notices to Holders as set forth herein.
