ARTICLE III
Anti-Dilution Provisions
3.1 Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided in this Article III. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, except pursuant to Sections 3.1(a)(iii), (iv) and (v), the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of the Common Stock (calculated to the nearest whole share pursuant to Section 1.2) obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of the Common Stock purchasable pursuant hereto
3
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(a) Exercise Price Adjustments. The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof (the “Original Issue Date”) effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. Conversely, if the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 3.1(a)(i) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(ii) Adjustment for Common Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, in each such event the Exercise Price that is then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Exercise Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date, and thereafter the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.1(a)(ii), to reflect the actual payment of such dividend or distribution.
(iii) Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Common Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than an Acquisition, Asset Transfer, subdivision or combination of shares, stock dividend, reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Section 3.1(a)), in any such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Common Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.
(iv) Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, there is a capital reorganization of
4
the Common Stock (other than a recapitalization or subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange, or substitution of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 3.1(a)), as a part of such capital reorganization, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise hereof the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise immediately prior to such event would have been entitled as a result of such capital reorganization, subject to adjustment in respect of such stock or securities by the terms thereof. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3.1(a) with respect to the rights of the Holder after the capital reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Section 3.1(a) (including adjustment of the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon exercise) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable.
(v) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment. All calculations under this Section 3.1(a) and under the definition of Current Market Price shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest whole share (as provided in Section 1.2), as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 3.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one percent, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate one percent or more.
(c) Adjustment by Board of Directors. If any event occurs as to which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, the provisions of this Section 3.1 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the rights of the Holder in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of Directors shall make an adjustment in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, so as to protect such rights as aforesaid, but in no event shall any adjustment have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price as otherwise determined pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.1, except in the case of a combination of shares of a type contemplated in Section 3.1(a)(i), and then in no event to an amount larger than the Exercise Price as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i).
(d) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1(a), and upon each change in the number of shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for this Warrant and at the principal office of the Company, a statement showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price and new number of shares issuable that shall be in effect after such adjustment, and the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be given to the Holder. Each such statement shall be signed by the Company’s chief financial or accounting officer. Where appropriate, such copy may be given in advance and may be included as part of a notice required to be mailed under the provisions of Section 3.1(d).
(e) Notice to Holders. In the event the Company shall propose to take any action of the type described in clause (i) through (v) of Section 3.1(a), the Company shall give notice to the Holder, in the manner set forth in Section 6.6, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to
5
indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least ten days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 15 days prior to the taking of such proposed action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action.
(f) Treasury Stock. For the purposes of this Section 3.1, the sale or other disposition of any Common Stock of the Company theretofore held in its treasury shall be deemed to be an issuance thereof.
3.2 Costs. The Holder shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company upon exercise of this Warrant. Additionally, the Company shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificate for such shares. The Holder shall reimburse the Company for any such taxes assessed against the Company.
3.3 Reservations of Shares. The Company shall reserve at all times so long as this Warrant remains outstanding, free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury Common Stock or its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, or both, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise hereof.
3.4 Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant will upon issuance by the Company be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof attributable to any act or omission by the Company, and the Company shall take no action which will cause a contrary result (including, without limitation, any action which would cause the Exercise Price to be less than the par value, if any, of the Common Stock).
