CYBRA
CORPORATION
WARRANT
Warrant
No. A--__ (2007 Series) Dated: _________ __, 200_
CYBRA
Corporation, a New York corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies
that, for value received, ________________________ or its registered assigns
(the “Holder”), is
entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of _____________________
shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company
(each such share, a “Warrant
Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an
exercise price equal to $0.75 per share (as adjusted from time to time as
provided in Section
9, the “Exercise
Price”), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof
and through and including the date that is five years from the date of issuance
hereof (the “Expiration
Date”), and subject to the following terms and
conditions. This Warrant (this “Warrant”) is one of a series
of similar warrants issued in connection with a private placement offering of
Common Stock to a limited number of investors and has been issued pursuant to a
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the
Company and the Holder (the “Purchase
Agreement”). All such warrants are referred to herein,
collectively, as the “Warrants.”
1. Definitions. In
addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that
are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the
Purchase Agreement.
2. Registration of
Warrant. 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.
1
3. Registration of
Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer of any
portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant,
with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the
Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration
or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form
of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the
portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a
New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred,
if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of
the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such
transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a
Warrant.
4. Exercise and Duration of
Warrants.
(a) This
Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time
to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration
Date. At 5:00 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the
portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and
of no value.
(b) A Holder
may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice,
in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”),
appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise
Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being
exercised, and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined
in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The
Exercise Price may be paid by certified or bank check or wire transfer in
immediately available funds. The Holder shall not be required to
deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise
hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have
the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New
Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant
Shares.
5. Delivery of Warrant
Shares.
(a) Upon
exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly issue or cause to be issued
and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such
name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares
issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends unless a registration
statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a
selling shareholder thereunder is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are
not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act. The Holder, or any Person (as hereinafter
defined) so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed
to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise
Date. For purposes of this Warrant, the term “Person” means any individual
or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association,
joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an
agency or subdivision thereof) or any court or other federal, state, local or
other governmental authority or other entity of any kind.
2
(b) This
Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a
portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this
Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or
cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to
purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
(c) The
Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the
terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or
inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect
to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any
action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation
or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other
Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of
law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other
circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the
Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. 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.
6. Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without
charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer
agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such
certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any
certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the
Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for
all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring
this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of
Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable bond or indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New
Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable
regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as
the Company may prescribe.
8. Reservation of Warrant
Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued
and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to
issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the
number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the
exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other
contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (after giving effect
to the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9, if any).
The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall,
upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance
with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and
nonassessable. The Company will take all such action as may be
necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided
herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which
the Common Stock may be listed.
3
9. Certain
Adjustments. The Exercise 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
9.
(a) Stock Dividends and
Splits. 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 a smaller
number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise 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) Fundamental
Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions,
(iii) 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 (iv)
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 (other than as a result of a
subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a)
above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then the Holder shall have the right thereafter 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”). The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant
will not be affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall
apportion such aggregate 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 such
Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder’s request, any successor to
the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to
the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing
the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate
Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement
pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms
requiring any such successor or surviving entity 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) Subsequent Equity
Sales.
(i) If the
Company or any Subsidiary issues additional shares of Common Stock or rights,
warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible, exercisable or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise entitling any Person to
acquire shares of Common Stock (collectively, “Common Stock Equivalents”) at
an effective price yielding gross proceeds to the Company per share of Common
Stock (the “Effective
Price”) less than the Exercise Price (as adjusted hereunder), then the
Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the product of (A) the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents times (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance,
plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate Effective
Price of the Common Stock issued (or deemed to be issued) would purchase at the
Exercise Price, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding immediately after such
issuance. For purposes of this paragraph, in connection with any
issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents, (A) the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock potentially issuable at any time upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents (the “Deemed Number”) shall be
deemed to be outstanding upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (B) the
Effective Price applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the minimum dollar
value of consideration payable to the Company to purchase such Common Stock
Equivalents and to convert, exercise or exchange them into Common Stock (net of
any discounts, fees, commissions and other expenses), divided by the Deemed
Number, and (C) no further adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price upon
the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of
such Common Stock Equivalents.
(ii) If, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary issues
Common Stock Equivalents with an Effective Price or a number of underlying
shares that floats or resets or otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment
based (directly or indirectly) on market prices of the Common Stock (a “Floating Price Security”),
then for purposes of applying the preceding paragraph in connection with any
subsequent exercise, the Effective Price will be determined separately on each
Exercise Date and will be deemed to equal the lowest Effective Price at which
any holder of such Floating Price Security is entitled to acquire Common Stock
on such Exercise Date (regardless of whether any such holder actually acquires
any shares on such date).
(iii) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this paragraph (c) in respect to
any issuance of Common Stock (A) upon the exercise or conversion of any options,
warrants or debentures issued and outstanding as of the date of this Warrant,
(B) upon the exercise or conversion of any other Warrants, whether or not
outstanding as of the date of this Warrant, or (C) in connection with any
issuance of shares or grant of options to employees, officers, directors or
consultants of the Company pursuant to a stock option plan or other stock
incentive plan duly adopted by the Company’s board of directors and approved by
its shareholders, or (D) the issuance of up to a total of 75,000 shares of
Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents in transactions and to persons other
than those described in the preceding clauses (A), (B) and (C).
5
(d) Number of Warrant
Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise
Price pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (c) of this Section, the number of Warrant
Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or
decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise
Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares
shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment.
(e) Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 9 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, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or
sale of Common Stock.
(f) Notice of
Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant
to this Section
9, 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 Exercise Price and
adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other 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. Upon written request, the Company will promptly
deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s
Transfer Agent.
(g) Notice of Corporate
Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other
distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common
Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary,
(ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits
shareholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the
voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company,
then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material
terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common
Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and
the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such
time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided,
however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such
notice.
10. Fractional
Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to
be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this
Warrant. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the
provisions of this Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the
number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole
share.
6
11. Notices. Any
and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including
without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed
given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such
notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number

which trading occurs on the Nasdaq Stock Market (or any successor thereto) (a

is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on
a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on
any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by
nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by
the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address
for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement.
12. Warrant
Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint
a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any
new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any
consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or
any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers
substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall
be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further
act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of
its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage
prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last address as shown on the Warrant
Register.
13. Miscellaneous.
(a) Subject
to the restrictions on transfer set forth on the first page hereof, this Warrant
may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may not be assigned by
the Company except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental
Transaction. This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the

shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder
any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this
Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the
Company and the Holder and their successors and assigns.
(b) The
Company will not, by amendment of its governing documents 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 action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect
the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of
any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (ii) will
take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that
the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant
Shares on the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) will not close its shareholder
books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this
Warrant.
