COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
TO PURCHASE 7,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF
NATURADE, INC.
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the "Warrant") certifies that,
for value received, Quincy Investments Corp. (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 July 22, 2006 (the "Initial
Exercise Date") and on or prior to the close of business on the nine (9) year
anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the "Termination Date") but not
thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Naturade, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), up to 7,000,000 shares (the "Warrant Shares") of
Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the "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 Master
Investment Agreement (the "Investment Agreement"), dated as of July 22, 2005, by
and among the Company, the Holder, Health Holdings and Botanicals, LLC ("HHB"),
Westgate Equity Partners, L.P. ("Westgate"), and such other persons whose names
appear on the signature pages thereof.
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant may be made at any time or times on or after the Initial
Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company
of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto
(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 such Holder appearing on the
books of the Company); provided, however, within five (5) trading days of the
date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Holder shall have
surrendered this Warrant to the Company and the Company shall have received
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire
transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank (unless exercised by
means of a "cashless exercise" in accordance with Section 2(c) below).
-1-
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price of the Common Stock under this
Warrant shall be $1.02 per share, subject to adjustment hereunder (the "Exercise
Price").
c) Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised 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 closing price on the trading day immediately preceding the date
of such election (as reported by the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or if the
Company's Common Stock ceases trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board,
such other national securities trading market in which the primary trading of
the Common Stock of the Company occurs);
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather
than a cashless exercise.
d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Authorization of Warrant Shares. 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, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue
thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously
with such issue). 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.
ii. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares
purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to
the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's prime broker with the
Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
("DWAC") system if the Company is a participant in such system, and otherwise by
physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of
Exercise within ten (10) trading days from the delivery to the Company of the
Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price as set forth above ("Warrant Share Delivery Date"). This Warrant
shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is
received by the Company. 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
-2-
the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the
Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant
to Section 2(d)(vii) prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid.
iii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall
have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the
certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights of 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.
iv. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer
agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the
Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 2(d)(iv) by the Warrant Share Delivery
Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
v. 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 its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a
certificate or 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) 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
times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase
obligation was executed, 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. 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 (1) 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, together
with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the
Company. 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.
vi. 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 Holder would otherwise be entitled
to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by
the Exercise Price.
-3-
vii. 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.
viii. 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.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make 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 pursuant to this Warrant), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
or (D) 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 before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted. 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) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time prior to the
Termination Date, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to
Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock,
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 Closing Price determined as of
the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such
Closing Price 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 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 Holders of the
portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such
subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock.
-4-
Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall
become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
c) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of fifty percent
(50%) or more of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) 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 (D) 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; provided, however, that
subsections (A), (B), (C) or (D) shall exclude any transactions by the Company
with Quincy Investments, Inc. set forth in the Investment Agreement (in any such
case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this
Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that
would have been issuable upon such exercise absent such Fundamental Transaction,
at the option of the Holder, (a) upon 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 Alternate Consideration
receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
event or (b) if the Company is acquired in an all cash transaction, cash equal
to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes
option pricing formula (the "Alternate Consideration"). 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 such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to
effectuate the foregoing provisions, 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
exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. 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 Section 3(c) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement
security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous
to a Fundamental Transaction.
d) Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance. If at any time when any
portion of this Warrant is outstanding the Company issues or sells any shares of
Common Stock, other than Excluded Stock (as defined below) for no consideration
or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or
commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith)
less than the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed
issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a "Dilutive Issuance"), then
immediately
-5-
upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price will adjusted to a price equal to
the quotient obtained by using the following formula:
Z= A + B
-------
X
Where:
(A)= the product of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
shares of Excluded Stock) outstanding immediately prior to such issuance
multiplied by (y) the applicable Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such issuance;
(B)= the consideration received by the Company upon such issuance; and
(X)= the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (excluding shares of
Excluded Stock) immediately after the issuance of such Common Stock.
For purposes of this Section 3(d), "Excluded Stock" shall mean
shares of Common Stock issued by the Company to its employees, directors or
outside consultants pursuant to a stock option plan, shares of Common Stock
issued by the Company upon conversion of any series of its Preferred Stock or
shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of any the warrants issued to the
Holder or HHB pursuant to the Investment Agreement.
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. The
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not
includes shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the
Company, and the description of any such shares of Common Stock shall be
considered on issue or sale of Common Stock. 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 Holders.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is
adjusted pursuant to this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to each
Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment 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) 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, of any compulsory share
-6-
exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or
property; (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
addresses as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register (as defined below) of the
Company, at least fifteen (15) 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. The Holder is
entitled to exercise this Warrant during the fifteen (15) day period commencing
the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such
notice.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable
securities laws and the conditions set forth in Sections 5(a) and 4(d) hereof,
this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, 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 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. A Warrant, if
properly assigned, 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.
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.
-7-
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 registered pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws,
the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the
Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company
a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and
scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the
effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder
or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form
and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an
"accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), or
(a)(8) promulgated under the Securities Act or a qualified institutional buyer
as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) Title to Warrant. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to
compliance with applicable laws and Section 4 of this Warrant, this Warrant and
all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or
agency of the Company by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto
properly endorsed. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
b) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the
Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or by means of a cashless exercise),
the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such
Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the
later of the date of such surrender or payment.
c) 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.
d) 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 be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be
taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday,
Sunday or legal holiday.
e) 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
-8-
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.
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 (a) 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, (b) 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 (c) 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.
f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. All questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be
determined in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Agreement.
g) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares
acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have
restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
h) 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 Xxxxxx'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 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 Holder in collecting any
amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers
or remedies hereunder.
-9-
i) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or
permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be
delivered via personal delivery, facsimile transmission or first class certified
or registered U.S. mail at (a) 00-000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, XX 00000
or facsimile number (000) 000-0000, or such other address or facsimile number as
the Holder shall have furnished to the Company in writing, or (b) if to the
Company, at 00000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000 or facsimile number (714)
573-4819, or such other address or facsimile number as the Company shall have
furnished to the Holder in writing.
j) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of
any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant or purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall
give rise to any liability of 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.
k) Remedies. 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 the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
l) 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 of the Company and the successors
and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to
be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant and shall be
enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
m) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the
provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
n) 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.
o) 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.
