LONG TERM COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
To Purchase 650,000 Shares of Common Stock of
US DATAWORKS, INC.
THIS LONG TERM COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value
received, Crescent International, Ltd. (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 the date that is six months after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and
on or prior to the close of business on the three year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date
(the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from US
Dataworks, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to 650,000 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 Securities Purchase Agreement (the
“Purchase Agreement”), dated June 16, 2005, among the Company and the purchasers signatory
thereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, 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 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
1
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.
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price of the Common Stock under this Warrant
shall be $0.59, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time after one year from the date of issuance
of this Warrant there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current
prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then 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 VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election; | |
| (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. |
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, provided that
there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available
for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, this Warrant shall be automatically
exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).
d) Exercise Limitations.
i. Holder’s Restrictions. A Holder shall not have the right to
exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2(c) or otherwise,
to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, such
Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates), as set forth on the
applicable Notice of Exercise, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of
the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to such issuance. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its
affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such
sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common
Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining,
nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder or
any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including,
without limitation, any other shares of Debentures or Warrants) subject to a
limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained
herein beneficially owned
2
by such Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the
preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d)(i), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by a Holder that the Company is not
representing to such Holder that such calculation is in compliance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and such Holder is solely responsible for
any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent
that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by such Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is
exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of a Holder, and the submission
of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be each Holder’s determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned
by such Holder) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each
case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall
have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.
For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form
10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the
Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company
shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after
giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including this Warrant, by such Holder or its affiliates since the date as
of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.
The provisions of this Section 2(d) may be waived by such Xxxxxx, at the
election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the
Company, and the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall continue to apply
until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by such
Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).
ii. Trading Market Restrictions. If the Company has not
obtained Shareholder Approval (as defined below) if required by the
applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market (or any successor
entity), then the Company may not issue upon exercise of this Warrant a
number of shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with any shares of
Common Stock issued (A) upon conversion of the Debentures issued pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement and (B) upon prior exercise of this or any other
Warrant issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, would exceed 19.999% of
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the Closing Date (such number of shares, the
“Issuable Maximum”). If on any attempted exercise of this
3
Warrant, the issuance of Warrant Shares would exceed the Issuable
Maximum and the Company shall not have previously obtained the vote of
shareholders (the “Shareholder Approval”), if any, as may be
required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market (or
any successor entity) to approve the issuance of shares of Common Stock in
excess of the Issuable Maximum pursuant to the terms hereof, then the
Company shall issue to the Holder requesting a Warrant exercise such number
of Warrant Shares as may be issued below the Issuable Maximum and, with
respect to the remainder of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares, this
Warrant shall not be exercisable until and unless Shareholder Approval has
been obtained.
e) 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).
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 3 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 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(e)(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,
4
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(e)(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
5
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.
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 immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately 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) Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as
applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall offer, sell, grant any
option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to reprice its securities, or otherwise
dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other
disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to
6
acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then
Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances
collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), as adjusted hereunder (if the holder of the
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation
of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange
prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is issued in
connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective
price per share which is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have
occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then, the
Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price. Such
adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this
Section 3(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder in
writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price,
or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such
notice the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or
not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the
occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is
entitled to receive Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the
Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise.
c) 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 (including cash and cash dividends) or
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock
(which shall be subject to Section 3(b)), 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 VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above,
and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP 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 Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of
indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common
Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall
become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
d) 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 all or substantially all 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
7
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 (in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have
the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such
exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of 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 any additional consideration (the “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. 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(d) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be
similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
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. 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) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. The Company may at any time during the term
of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of
time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
g) 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
8
each Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such
adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment. If the Company issues a variable rate security, despite the
prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed
to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest
possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be
converted or exercised in the case of a Variable Rate Transaction (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement).
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
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
address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at
least 20 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 20-day period commencing on 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 and to the provisions of
9
Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, 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.
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
10
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 Shareholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the
Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder 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 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
11
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) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the
provisions of the Purchase 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 Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that
all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and
