RECEIVED, the undersigned, Buyonate, Inc., a Nevada corporation (together with
its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”), hereby
certifies that ____________________________________ (the “Holder”) or its
registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the Term
(as hereinafter defined), ______ (____) shares (subject to adjustment as
hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price per share equal
to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the provisions and
upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used in
this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings
specified in Section 9 hereof.
1.
Term. The term
of this Warrant shall commence on _______ and shall expire at 6:00 p.m., Eastern
Time, on _________ (such period being the “Term” and such date,
the “Termination
Date”).
2.
Method of Exercise;
Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.
(a)
Time of
Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised in whole or in part during the Term for such number of shares of
Common Stock set forth above.
(b)
Method of
Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in
part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto
duly executed (“Notice
of Exercise”)) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment
to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price
in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of shares of
Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised,
payable at such Holder’s election (i) by certified or official bank check or by
wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by “cashless
exercise” in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section 2,
or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the
Holder of this Warrant.
(c)
Cashless
Exercise. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary and
commencing six (6) months following the Original Issue Date, if (i) the Per
Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant
Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below) and (ii) subject to the
three sentences following the formula set forth below in this Section 2(c), a
registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the
Warrant Stock (a “Registration Statement”) is not then in effect by the date
such Registration Statement is required to be effective pursuant to the
Subscription Agreement (as defined in Section 8 hereof) or not effective at any
time during the Effectiveness Period (as defined in the Subscription Agreement)
in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement, in lieu of
exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to exercise
this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of
Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this
Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer together with the properly
endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder
a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following
formula:
X =
|
Y -
(A)(Y)
B
|
Where
|
X
=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder.
|
Y
=
|
the
number of shares of Warrant Stock 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.
|
|
A
=
|
the
Warrant Price.
|
|
B
=
|
the
Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date of such
election.
|
If a
Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Warrant Stock is not in
effect by the date such Registration Statement is required to be effective
pursuant to the Subscription Agreement or not effective at any time during the
Effectiveness Period solely because of the Issuer’s cut-back of shares included
in the Registration Statement due to Commission Restrictions (as such term is
defined in the Subscription Agreement), then the Holder may not exercise this
Warrant by a cashless exercise; provided that within
six months after the effective date of the Registration Statement or such
shorter or longer period as may be permitted or required under Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) staff interpretations the Issuer shall have filed an
additional registration statement covering the resale of all Warrant Stock not
included in the Registration Statement (the “Excluded Shares”) and have used its
reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared
effective by the SEC. If due to additional Commission Restrictions relating to
the subsequent registration statement some or all of the Excluded Shares are not
included in such registration statement or the effectiveness of such
registration statement is not maintained, then every six months (or such shorter
or longer period as may be permitted or required under SEC staff
interpretations) after an additional registration statement is
declared effective the Issuer shall file a further registration covering the
resale of the Excluded Shares not or no longer covered by an effective
registration statement and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such
registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC. If the Issuer does
not comply with the foregoing, then the Holder may exercise this Warrant by
cashless exercise.
(d)
Issuance of
Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for
the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such
exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not
exceeding five (5) Trading Days after such exercise (the “Delivery Date”) or,
at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the
Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect
or that the resale of all shares of Warrant Stock are otherwise exempt from
registration), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the
Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) within a
reasonable time, not exceeding five (5) Trading Days after such exercise, and
the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the
shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent
shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s
behalf via DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a sale or other exemption
from registration by which the shares may be issued without a restrictive
legend. The Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an indemnification
undertaking with respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or
destruction, at such time that this Warrant is fully exercised. With respect to
partial exercises of this Warrant, the Issuer shall keep written records for the
Holder of the number of shares of Warrant Stock exercised as of each date of
exercise
2
(e)
Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Stock pursuant to an exercise on or before the 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 Stock which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the
Issuer 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 shares of Warrant Stock that the Issuer 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 shares of Warrant Stock 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 Issuer 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 Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The
Holder shall provide the Issuer 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 Issuer. 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 Issuer’s failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant
as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(f)
Transferability
of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(h) hereof, this Warrant may be
transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, to an “accredited investor” as
defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act without the consent of the
Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may be
transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly
authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of
the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form
attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other
governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at
the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants to purchase the same aggregate
number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to
purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall
designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or
exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with
this Warrant except as to the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable
pursuant thereto.
(g)
Continuing
Rights of Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after
each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,
acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to
afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any
such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect
the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such
Holder.
(h)
Compliance with
Securities Laws.
(i)
The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this
Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are
being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any
other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or
otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued
upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or
an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws.
(ii)
Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all
certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof
shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
THIS
WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
IS NOT REQUIRED.
3
(iii)
The Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing
any of the Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above if at such time,
prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give
written notice to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer.
Such proposed transfer will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has
received an unqualified opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Issuer, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the
Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a
registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed
disposition has been filed by the Issuer with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act, or (iii)
the Issuer has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer
that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state
securities laws are not required; and (b) either (i) the Issuer has received an
opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that
registration or qualification under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any
state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii)
compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws has been effected
or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Issuer will respond to any
such notice from a holder within five (5) Trading Days. In the case of any
proposed transfer under this Section 2(h), the Issuer will use reasonable
efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws,
but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state
where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to
tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then
subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state
for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Issuer. The
restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 2(h) shall be in addition to,
and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in
any other section of this Warrant. Whenever a certificate representing the
Warrant Stock is required to be issued to the Holder without a legend, in lieu
of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Stock, the Issuer
shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Stock to
the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder or Holder’s Prime Broker with
DTC through its DWAC system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions
of this Warrant or the Subscription Agreement).
(i)
Accredited
Investor Status. In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in
whole or in part unless the Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in
Regulation D under the Securities Act.
3.
Stock Fully Paid;
Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a)
Stock Fully
Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all
shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or
otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and
free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through the Issuer. The
Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this
Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and
reserved for the purpose of the issuance upon exercise of this Warrant a number
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock equal to at least the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard
to any limitations on exercise.
(b)
Reservation. If any
shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of
this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or
qualification with any Governmental Authority under any federal or state law
before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best
efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be
duly registered or qualified, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
Subscription Agreement. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common Stock on
any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, and
maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of Warrant
Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise
provided hereunder (provided that such
Warrant Stock has been registered pursuant to a registration statement under the
Securities Act then in effect), and, to the extent permissible under the
applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which
are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall
be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or
market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder
of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant
if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such
securities exchange or market by the Issuer.
4
(c)
Covenants. The Issuer
shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Certificate
of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer, or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other 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 the Holder
hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will
(i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then
effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the
Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would
adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such
action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and
clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as
provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its best
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably
necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.
(d)
Loss, Theft,
Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the
Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of
indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will
make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant,
a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same
number of shares of Common Stock.
(e)
Payment of
Taxes. The Issuer will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to
the initial issuance of the Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant; provided, however, that the
Issuer shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates
representing Warrant Stock in a name other than that of the Holder in respect to
which such shares are issued.
4.
Adjustment of Warrant
Price. The price at which such shares of Warrant Stock may be purchased
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
as set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any
event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in
accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 5.
(a)
Recapitalization,
Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or
Sale.
(i)
In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the
following (each, a “Triggering Event”):
(a) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person and the Issuer shall not
be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or
(b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the
Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such
consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into
or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property,
or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any
other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its
Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper
provision shall be made to the Warrant Price and the number of shares of Warrant
Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant so that, upon the
basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of
this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the
consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not
exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in
effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering
Event, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant
prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such
Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event
if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately
prior thereto (including the right of a shareholder to elect the type of
consideration it will receive upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments
(subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the
adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4. Immediately upon the
occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing
of such Triggering Event and provide the calculations in determining the number
of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of the new warrant and the
adjusted Warrant Price. Upon the Holder’s request, the continuing or surviving
corporation as a result of such Triggering Event shall issue to the Holder a new
warrant of like tenor evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted number of
shares of Warrant Stock and the adjusted Warrant Price pursuant to the terms and
provisions of this Section 4(a)(i).
5
(ii)
In the event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this Warrant
prior to the consummation of a Triggering Event, so long as the surviving entity
pursuant to any Triggering Event is a company that has a class of equity
securities registered pursuant to the Exchange Act and its common stock is
listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated quotation
system or the OTC Bulletin Board, the surviving entity and/or each Person (other
than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any Securities, cash or
property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by
written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of
this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the
Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption
shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing
obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver
to such Holder such Securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be entitled to
receive, and the surviving entity and/or each such Person shall have similarly
delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel for the surviving entity and/or
each such Person, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder,
or in the alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or
Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall
thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including,
without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be
applicable to the Securities, cash or property which the surviving entity and/or
each such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or
the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.
(b)
Stock
Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the Issuer
shall:
(i)
make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other
distribution of, shares of Common Stock,
(ii)
subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares of Common Stock, or
(iii)
combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares of Common Stock,
then (1)
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal
the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior
to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the
happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be
adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number
of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such
adjustment.
(c)
Certain Other
Distributions. If at any time the Issuer shall make or issue or set a
record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling
them to receive any dividend or other distribution of:
(i)
cash,
6
(ii)
any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or
any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash),
or
(iii)
any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences
of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or
property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash),
then (1)
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall
be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment
multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Per Share
Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the
denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount
allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of
the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Issuer and supported by an opinion from an investment banking firm mutually
agreed upon by the Issuer and the Holder) of any and all such evidences of
indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other
subscription or purchase rights so distributable, and (2) the Warrant Price then
in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after
such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in
par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value)
into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be
deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of such
shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4(c) and,
if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or
smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification,
such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section
4(b).
(d) Other Provisions Applicable
to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions shall be
applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect
provided for in this Section 4:
(i)
When
Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall
be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment
shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be
postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the
Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of
exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not
previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of the shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the
making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than
such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried
forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments
required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum
adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any
specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the
date of its occurrence.
(ii)
Fractional
Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional
interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one
one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share.
(iii)
When Adjustment
Not Required. If the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or
distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before
the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or
deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then
thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such
record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be
rescinded and annulled.
7
(f)
Escrow of
Warrant Stock. If after any property becomes distributable pursuant to
this Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the holders of Common
Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken,
and the Holder exercises this Warrant, any shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise by reason of such adjustment shall be deemed the last shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any other provision
to the contrary herein) and such shares or other property shall be held in
escrow for the Holder by the Issuer to be issued to the Holder upon and to the
extent that the event actually takes place, upon payment of the current Warrant
Price. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event
for which such record was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such
escrowed shares shall be cancelled by the Issuer and escrowed property
returned.
5.
Notice of
Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be
adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an
“adjustment”),
the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer or other authorized officer,
as the case may be, to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in
reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the
adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a
description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder),
and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such
adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the
Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the
Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in
such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to
an Independent Appraiser, provided that the
Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such Holder of its
selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select
another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of objection. The
Independent Appraiser selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the
preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such
matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after submission
to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties

waive this Section 7 by providing a Waiver Notice at any time during such
