OR EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE FOREGOING LAWS.
SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 10 HEREOF, VOID AFTER 5:00 P.M.
EASTERN TIME ON JUNE 28, 2006 ("EXPIRATION DATE").
VISIONICS CORPORATION
WARRANT TO PURCHASE 125,000 SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK, $.01 PAR VALUE PER SHARE ("COMMON STOCK")
For VALUE RECEIVED, SPECIAL SITUATIONS FUND III, L.P.
("Warrantholder"), is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this
Warrant, from Visionics Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Company"), at any
time not later than 5:00 P.M., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date, at an
exercise price per share equal to $5.66 (the exercise price in effect being
herein called the "Warrant Price"), 125,000 shares ("Warrant Shares") of Common
Stock. The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant
and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
described herein.
Section 1. Registration. The Company shall maintain books for the
transfer and registration of the Warrant. Upon the initial issuance of the
Warrant, the Company shall issue and register the Warrant in the name of the
Warrantholder.
Section 2. Transfers. As provided herein, this Warrant may be
transferred only pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act") or an exemption from such
registration. Subject to such restrictions, the Company shall transfer this
Warrant from time to time upon the books to be maintained by the Company for
that purpose, upon surrender thereof for transfer properly endorsed or
accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer and such other documents as
may be reasonably required by the Company to establish that such transfer is
being made in accordance with the terms hereof, and a new Warrant shall be
issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant shall be canceled by the
Company.
Section 3. Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the provisions hereof, the
Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time upon
surrender of the Warrant, together with delivery of the duly executed Warrant
exercise form attached hereto as Appendix A (the "Exercise Agreement") and
payment by cash, certified check or wire transfer of funds (or by cashless
exercise as provided below) for
the Warrant Price for that number of Warrant Shares then being purchased, to the
Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Company's
principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it
may designate by notice to the holder hereof). The Warrant Shares so purchased
shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or such holder's designee, as
the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on
which this Warrant shall have been surrendered (or evidence of loss, theft or
destruction thereof and security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company shall
have been provided to the Company), the Warrant Price shall have been paid and
the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered. Certificates for the
Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares
specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof
within a reasonable time, not exceeding seven (7) business days, after this
Warrant shall have been so exercised. The certificates so delivered shall be in
such denominations as may be requested by the holder hereof and shall be
registered in the name of such holder or such other name as shall be designated
by such holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then,
unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time
of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder a new Warrant
representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not
then have been exercised.
Each exercise hereof shall constitute the representation and
warranty of the Warrantholder to the Company that the representations and
warranties contained in Article 5 of the Purchase Agreement (as defined below)
are true and correct in all material respects with respect to the Warrantholder
as of the time of such exercise.
Section 4. Compliance with the Securities Act of 1933. The Company may
cause the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant to be set forth on
each Warrant or similar legend on any security issued or issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant, unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such
security that such legend is unnecessary.
Section 5. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay any documentary stamp
taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a
name other than that of the registered holder of this Warrant, and in such case,
the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for
Warrant Shares or any Warrant until the person requesting the same has paid to
the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the Company's
reasonable satisfaction that such tax has been paid. The holder shall be
responsible for income taxes due under federal, state or other law, if any such
tax is due.
Section 6. Mutilated or Missing Warrants. In case this Warrant shall be
mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and
-2-
substitution of and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of
and substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of
like tenor and for the purchase of a like number of Warrant Shares, but only
upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft or destruction of the Warrant, and with respect to a lost, stolen or
destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond with respect thereto, if
requested by the Company.
Section 7. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company hereby represents
and warrants that there have been reserved, and the Company shall at all
applicable times keep reserved until issued (if necessary) as contemplated by
this Section 7, out of the authorized and unissued Common Stock, sufficient
shares to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the
Warrant. The Company agrees that all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the
Warrant shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Warrant
Shares, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of
Common Stock of the Company.
Section 8. Adjustments. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 8, the Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares subject to this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth
hereinafter.
(a) If the Company shall at any time or from time to time
while the Warrant is outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution on its
Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of
its outstanding shares of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock
(including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or
merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and the Warrant Price in
effect immediately prior to the date upon which such change shall become
effective, shall be adjusted by the Company so that the Warrantholder thereafter
exercising the Warrant shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of
Common Stock or other capital stock which the Warrantholder would have received
if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such event upon payment
of a Warrant Price that has been adjusted to reflect a fair allocation of the
economics of such event to the Warrantholder. Such adjustments shall be made
successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) If any capital reorganization, reclassification of the
capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with
another corporation in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to
another corporation shall be effected, then, as a condition of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other
disposition, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each
Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right
-3-
to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein
specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable
upon exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as
would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number
of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore
issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition not
taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with
respect to the rights and interests of each Warrantholder to the end that the
provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of
the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may
be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or properties
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall not effect
any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition unless prior
to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if
other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the
corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate
corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the holder of
the Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with
the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other
obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall
similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications,
consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions.
(c) In case the Company shall fix a payment date for the
making of a distribution to all holders of Common Stock (including any such
distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of indebtedness or assets
(other than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated
earnings or earned surplus or dividends or distributions referred to in Section
8(a)), or subscription rights or warrants, the Warrant Price to be in effect
after such payment date shall be determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in
effect immediately prior to such payment date by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied
by the Market Price per share of Common Stock (as defined below), less the fair
market value (as determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good faith)
of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed, or of such
subscription rights or warrants, and the denominator of which shall be the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such Market Price per
share of Common Stock. "Market Price" as of a particular date (the "Valuation
Date") shall mean the following: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed on a
national stock exchange, the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on
such exchange on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date; (b) if the
Common Stock is then quoted on Nasdaq, the closing sale price of one share of
Common Stock on Nasdaq on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date or,
if no such closing sale price is available, the average of the high bid and the
low sales price quoted on Nasdaq on the last trading day prior to the Valuation
Date; or (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a national stock
-4-
exchange or quoted on Nasdaq, the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock
as of the Valuation Date, shall be determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company and the Warrantholder. The Board of Directors of the
Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Warrantholder
prior to the exercise hereunder as to the Market Value of a share of Common
Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event that
the Board of Directors of the Company and the Warrantholder are unable to agree
upon the Market Value in respect of subpart (c) hereof, the Company and the
Warrantholder shall jointly select an appraisor, who is experienced in such
matters. The decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the
cost of such appraiser shall be borne evenly by the Company and the
Warrantholder. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a
payment date is fixed.
(d) For the term of this Warrant, in addition to the
provisions contained above, the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment as
provided below. An adjustment to the Warrant Price shall become effective
immediately after the payment date in the case of each dividend or distribution
and immediately after the effective date of each other event which requires an
adjustment.
(e) In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to Section 8(a), the holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to
receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common
Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be subject thereafter to adjustment from time to time in a manner
and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect
to the Warrant Shares contained in this Warrant.
(f) Except as provided in subsection (g) hereof, if and
whenever the Company shall issue or sell, or is, in accordance with any of
subsections (f)(l) through (f)(7) hereof, deemed to have issued or sold, any
shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Warrant Price
in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then and in each
such case (a "Trigger Issuance") the then-existing Warrant Price, shall be
reduced, as of the close of business on the effective date of the Trigger
Issuance, to a price determined as follows:
Adjusted Warrant Price = (A x B) + D
-----------
A+C
where
"A" equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
(including any Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined below) immediately
preceding such Trigger Issuance);
"B" equals the Warrant Price in effect immediately preceding
such Trigger Issuance;
-5-
"C" equals the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock
(as adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations, recapitalizations, and
dividends and the like) issued or deemed issued hereunder as a result of all
Trigger Issuances; and
"D" equals the aggregate consideration, if any, received or
deemed to be received by the Company upon such Trigger Issuance.
For purposes of this subsection (f), "Additional Shares of
Common Stock" shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company or
deemed to be issued pursuant to this subsection (f), other than Excluded
Issuances (as defined in subsection (g) hereof).
For purposes of this subsection (f), the following subsections
(f)(l) to (f)(7) shall also be applicable (subject, in each such case, to the
provisions of subsection (g) hereof) and to each other subsection contained in
this subsection (f):
(f)(1) Issuance of Rights or Options. In case at any
time the Company shall in any manner grant (directly and not
by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other
rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the
purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or security convertible
into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such warrants, rights
or options being called "Options" and such convertible or
exchangeable stock or securities being called "Convertible
Securities") whether or not such Options or the right to
convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are
immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which
Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or
upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities
(determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall
constitute the applicable consideration (the "Consideration"))
of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the
Company as consideration for the granting of such Options,
plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration
payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options,
plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to
Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such
Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange
thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the
conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities
issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be less than
the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of
the granting of such Options, then the total number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or
upon conversion or exchange of the total amount of such
Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such
Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per
share as of the date of granting of such Options or the
issuance of such Convertible
-6-
Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding
for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Price. Except as
otherwise provided in subsection 8(f)(3), no adjustment of the
Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such
Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise
of such Options or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock
upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(f)(2) Issuance of Convertible Securities. In case
the Company shall in any manner issue (directly and not by
assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible
Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert
any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable,
and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable
upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (i)
the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable
Consideration) of (x) the total amount received or receivable
by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such
Convertible Securities, plus (y) the aggregate amount of
additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon
the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less
than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time
of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all
such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been
issued for such price per share as of the date of the issue or
sale of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be
deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant
Price, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in
subsection 8(f)(3), no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall
be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (b)
no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made by
reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon
exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible
Securities for which adjustments of the Warrant Price have
been made pursuant to other provisions of this subsection
8(f)(2).
(f)(3) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate.
Upon the happening of any of the following events, namely, if
the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in
subsection 8(f)(l) hereof, the additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any
Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 8(f)(l) or
8(f)(2), or the rate at which Convertible Securities referred
to in subsections 8(f)(l) or 8(f)(2) are convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time
(including, but not limited to, changes under or by reason of
provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Warrant
Price in effect at the time of such event shall forthwith be
readjusted to the Warrant Price which would have been in
effect at such time had such
-7-
Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided
for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or
conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially
granted, issued or sold; and on the termination of any such
Option or any such right to convert or exchange such
Convertible Securities (including without limitation upon the
redemption or purchase for Consideration of all such
Convertible Securities by the Company), the Warrant Price then
in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed to the Warrant
Price which would have been in effect at the time of such
termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the
extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination,
never been issued.
(f)(4) Stock Dividends. Subject to the provisions
hereof, in case the Company shall declare a dividend or make
any other distribution upon any stock of the Company (other
than the Common Stock) payable in Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities, then any Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in
payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to
have been issued or sold without consideration.
(f)(5) Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be
issued or sold for cash, the Consideration received therefor
shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company
therefor, after deduction therefrom of any expenses incurred
or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed
by the Company in connection therewith. In case any shares of
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be
issued or sold for a Consideration other than cash, the amount
of the Consideration other than cash received by the Company
shall be deemed to be the fair value of such Consideration as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company, after deduction of any expenses incurred or any
underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the
Company in connection therewith. In case any Options shall be
issued in connection with the issue and sale of other
securities of the Company, together comprising one integral
transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to
such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be
deemed to have been issued for such consideration as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
(f)(6) Record Date. In case the Company shall take a
record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or
(ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed
to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common
Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration
of such
-8-
dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date
of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as
the case may be.
(f)(7) Treasury Shares. 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 or
any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of
any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common
Stock for the purpose of this subsection (f).
(g) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Warrant Price in the
case of the issuance of any of (A) capital stock, Options or Convertible
Securities issued to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the
Company in connection with their service as directors of the Company, their
employment by the Company or their retention as consultants by the Company
pursuant to an equity compensation program approved by the Board of Directors of
the Company or the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company, (B) sales of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion or exercise of
Options or Convertible Securities issued prior to the date hereof or (C) capital
stock issued as full or partial consideration for a merger or acquisition, or a
strategic allegiance or alliance in which the Company with respect to such
strategic allegiance or alliance issues shares of its equity securities having
an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined below) of less than $10 million,
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The "Fair Market Value" of a
security as of a particular date (the "Valuation Date") shall mean the
following: (a) if the security is then listed on a national stock exchange, the
closing sale price of one security on such exchange on the last trading day
prior to the Valuation Date; (b) if the security is then quoted on Nasdaq, the
closing sale price of one security on Nasdaq on the last trading day prior to
the Valuation Date or, if no such closing sale price is available, the average
of the high bid and the low sales price quoted on Nasdaq on the last trading day
prior to the Valuation Date; or (c) if the security is not then listed on a
national stock exchange or quoted on Nasdaq, the Fair Market Value of one
security as of the Valuation Date, shall be determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company and Special Situation Funds ("SSF"). In the
event that the Board of Directors of the Company and SSF are unable to agree
upon the Fair Market Value in respect of subpart (c) hereof, the Company and SSF
shall jointly select an appraisor, who is experienced in such matters. The
decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such
appraiser shall be borne evenly by the Company and the Investors (pro rata in
respect of their ownership of Securities at such time) as such terms are defined
in that certain Purchase Agreement among the Company and the Investors dated the
date hereof. An "Excluded Issuance" shall mean each of items (A), (B) and (C)
above.
Section 9. Fractional Interest. The Company shall not be required to
issue fractions of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrant. If any
fractional share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of the first
sentence of this Section 9, be delivered upon such exercise, the Company, in
lieu of delivering such fractional share,
-9-
shall pay to the exercising holder of this Warrant an amount in cash equal to
the current Fair Market Value of such fractional share of Common Stock.
Section 10. Extension of Expiration Date. If the Company fails to cause
any Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities (capitalized terms
are as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement dated of even date herewith)
(the "Registration Rights Agreement") to be declared effective prior to the
applicable dates set forth therein, or if any of the events specified in clause
(B) or (C) of Section 2(c) of the Registration Rights Agreement occurs and the
Blackout Period (whether alone, or in combination with any other Blackout
Period) continues for more than 60 days in any 12 month period, or for more than
a total of 90 days, then the Expiration Date of this Warrant shall be extended
one day for each day beyond the 60-day or 90-day limits, as the case may be,
that the Blackout Period continues.
Section 11. Benefits. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to
give any person, firm or corporation (other than the Company and the
Warrantholder) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim, it being agreed
that this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and
the Warrantholder.
Section 12. Notices to Warrantholder. Upon the happening of any event
requiring an adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall promptly give
written notice thereof to the Warrantholder at the address appearing in the
records of the Company, stating the adjusted Warrant Price and the adjusted
number of Warrant Shares resulting from such event and setting forth in
reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such
calculation is based. Failure to give such notice to the Warrantholder or any
defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the subject
adjustment.
Section 13. Identity of Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent for the
Common Stock is Xxxxx Fargo Shareowner Services. Upon the appointment of any
subsequent transfer agent for the Common Stock or other shares of the Company's
capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented
by the Warrant, the Company will mail to the Warrantholder a statement setting
forth the name and address of such transfer agent.
Section 14. Notices. Any notice pursuant hereto to be given or made by
the Warrantholder to or on the Company shall be sufficiently given or made if
sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as
follows:
-10-
Visionics Corporation
0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx
Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000
Attn: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx
Fax: (000) 000-0000
or such other address as the Company may specify in writing by notice to the
Warrantholder complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 14.
Any notice pursuant hereto to be given or made by the Company to or on
the Warrantholder shall be sufficiently given or made if personally delivered or
if sent by an internationally recognized courier services by overnight service,
to the address set forth on the books of the Company or, as to each of the
Company and the Warrantholder, at such other address as shall be designated by
such party by written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with
the terms of this Section 14. All such notices, requests, demands, directions
and other communications shall, when sent by courier be effective one (1) day
after delivery to such courier as provided and addressed as aforesaid.
Section 15. Registration Rights. The initial holder of this Warrant is
entitled to the benefit of certain registration rights in respect of the Warrant
Shares and Additional Warrant Shares as provided in the Registration Rights
Agreement, and any subsequent holder hereof may be entitled to such rights.
Section 16. Successors. All the covenants and provisions hereof by or
for the benefit of the Warrantholder shall bind and inure to the benefit of its
respective successors and assigns hereunder.
Section 17. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be deemed to be a
contract made under the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to
its conflict of law principles, and for all purposes shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of said State; provided, however, that, insofar as the
Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or any successor statute) shall govern
those matters that apply to the internal governance of the Company.
Section 18. Cashless Exercise.
Net Issue Election. Notwithstanding any other provision
contained herein to the contrary, the Warrantholder may elect to receive,
without the payment by the Warrantholder of the aggregate Warrant Price in
respect of the shares of Common Stock to be acquired, shares of Common Stock
equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of
this Warrant (or such portion of this Warrant being so exercised) together with
the Net Issue Election Notice annexed hereto as Appendix B duly executed, at the
office of the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the
-11-
Warrantholder such number of fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares
of Common Stock as is computed using the following formula:
X = Y(A - B)
--------
A
where
X = the number of shares of Common Stock which the
Warrantholder has then requested be issued to the Warrantholder
Y = the total number of shares of Common Stock covered by this
Warrant which the Warrantholder has surrendered at such time for cash-less
exercise
A = the "Fair Market Value" of one share of Common Stock as at
the time the net issue election is made
B = the Warrant Price in effect under this Warrant at the time
the net issue election is made.
Section 19. Call Provision. Notwithstanding any other provision
contained herein to the contrary, in the event that the closing bid price of a
share of Common Stock as traded on the Nasdaq National Market (or such other
exchange as the Common Stock may then be listed) exceeds 150% of the Warrant
Price for twenty (20) consecutive trading sessions and all of the Warrant Shares
issuable hereunder are registered pursuant to an effective Registration
Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company, upon
ten (10) business days prior written notice (the "Notice Period"), following
such twenty (20) day period, to the Warrantholder, may demand that the
Warrantholder exercise its rights with regard to all Warrant Shares and the
Warrantholder must exercise its rights prior to the expiration of the Notice
Period or if such exercise is not made or if only a partial exercise is made,
any and all rights to further exercise rights to acquire Warrant Shares
hereunder shall cease upon the expiration of the Notice Period.
Section 20. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to the provisions of
Section 9.11 of that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2001,
among the Company and the Investors parties thereto, this Warrant may be amended
only by a writing signed by the Company and the Warrantholder.
