XXXXX ENVIRONMENTAL CORPORATION
WARRANT CERTIFICATE
Warrants to Subscribe April 4, 1995
for 12,500 shares of
Common Stock
THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, Strategica Capital Corporation, a
Delaware corporation, or its registered assigns (the "Holder"), is the
registered owner of 12,500 warrants (the "Warrants") of XXXXX ENVIRONMENTAL
CORPORATION, a Colorado corporation (hereinafter referred to as the
"Corporation" or the "Company"). Each of the Warrants entitles the Holder to
purchase, after the satisfaction of the condition precedent to each such
purchase, one duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
share of voting common stock, $.003 par value per share, of the Corporation (the
"Common Stock"). Each share of Common Stock relating to a Warrant and/or each
share of Common Stock underlying a Warrant may sometimes hereinafter be referred
to as a "Warrant Share."
SECTION 1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. These Warrants may be exercised at any time
from the date hereof, to the extent that the condition precedent specified in
the next paragraph of this section is satisfied, until and including January 11,
1999, 5:00 p.m., Miami, Florida time (the "Expiration Date"). If the average of
the closing bid and asked prices of the Company's Common Stock for the ten (10)
trading days (in which the Company's Common Stock is traded) immediately prior
to January 11, 1999, is less than $2.00 per share on the original Expiration
Date, then the Expiration Date shall be extended for one additional year to
January 11, 2000 (the "First Extended Expiration Date"). If such average
immediately prior to January 11, 2000, is less than $2.00 per share on the First
Extended Expiration Date, then the Expiration Date shall be extended for one
additional year to January 11, 2001 (the "Second Extended Expiration
Date"). If such average immediately prior to January 11, 2001, is less than
$2.00 per share on the Second Extended Expiration Date, then the Expiration Date
shall be extended for one additional year to January 11, 2002. Subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 4 below, the exercise price per share of the
shares of Common Stock purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be equal to
the "Market Price," as hereinafter defined, of the Company's Common Stock (such
price, as adjusted from time to time, being hereinafter referred to as the
"Exercise Price"). For purposes of the preceding sentence, "Market Price" shall
be defined as the average of the closing bid prices of the Company's Common
Stock for the ten (10) trading days, in which the Company's Common Stock is
traded, immediately prior to date of exercise.
These Warrant are exercisable only to the extent that shares of Common
Stock have been issued by the Company as a result of the exercise of stock
options pursuant to any of the following agreements and then only at a rate of
0.25 shares of Common Stock for every share of Common Stock so issued:
(a) Option Agreement dated March 1, 1993, between the Company and Xxxxx
Xxxx with respect to 10,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
(b) Option Agreement dated December 1, 1993, between the Company and
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx with respect to 10,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock.
(c) Option Agreement dated December 1, 1993, between the Company and
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx with respect to 30,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock.
The options granted pursuant to the foregoing agreements all expire on or before
April 28, 1997. Therefore, if none of the options are exercised, these Warrants
expire on April 28, 1997; otherwise such number of these Warrants are
exercisable for the periods described in the first paragraph of this section as
are equal to the number of shares of Common Stock for which the condition
precedent in this paragraph has been fulfilled. The Company shall give the
Holder written notice of the exercise of options pursuant to any of the
foregoing agreements within five (5) business days after the occurrence of such
exercise. Such notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock that
were issued upon such exercise and the number of these Warrants that have become
exercisable as a result of such exercise.
If the closing bid price per share of the Company's Common Stock for ten
(10) consecutive trading days, in which the Company's Common Stock is traded
(the "Mandatory Market Price"), equals or exceeds $1.50 per share at any times
during the first four years from the date hereof, the Holder shall, at the
option of the Company, exercise up to 10% of the original number of Warrants
during each of the first and second years from the date hereof and up to 25% of
the original number of Warrants during each of the third and fourth year from
the date hereof. If the Holder is not required to exercise the maximum number of
Warrants for any given year, then the unexercised number shall be added to the
maximum number for the succeeding year of the term of the Warrants. The Holder,
at its option in each instance of
-2-
required exercise, may exercise one-half or more of the number of Warrants
specified in the Company's notice to the Holder for cash and surrender the
balance of such number of Warrants to the Company in exchange for the number of
Warrant Shares equal to (x) the number of Warrant Shares as to which the
Warrants are being surrendered multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the Mandatory Market Price less the Exercise Price of the Warrant
Shares and the denominator of which is the Mandatory Market Price of the Warrant
Shares. The Company shall give the Holder written notice of the Company's
exercise of each option to require mandatory exercise of outstanding Warrants
within five (5) business days after the occurrence of events triggering the
Company's right to exercise such option. If the Company does not timely give the
Holder such notice and the Mandatory Market Price falls below $1.50 per share,
then the Company's right to exercise each such option shall lapse for the time
being and shall reoccur each time the Mandatory Market Price again equals or
exceeds $1.50 per share until the Company exercises each such option.
The rights represented by this Warrant shall be exercised by the holder
hereof, in whole or in part, but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock,
by the surrender of this Warrant (properly endorsed) at the office of the
Corporation or its transfer agent, and by payment to the Corporation of the
Exercise Price in cash or by wire transfer, for each share being purchased. Upon
the exercise of this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased, registered in the name of the holder, shall be
promptly delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time. The person in
whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued upon exercise of
this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of
record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and
payment of the Exercise Price and any applicable taxes was made, except that, if
the date of such surrender and payment is a date on which the stock transfer
books of the Corporation are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become
the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date
on which the stock transfer books are open.
SECTION 2. TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION.
(a) Neither the Warrants or the Warrant Shares may be sold,
assigned or otherwise transferred prior to July 11, 1995 to any person other
than an officer, managing director or affiliate of Holder. Transfer of this
Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, is registrable on the
books of the Corporation to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of
this Warrant at the principal office of the Corporation, together with the
Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed by the Holder or his agent or
attorney and funds sufficient to pay any stock transfer taxes payable upon the
making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and payment the Corporation shall
execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or
assignees and in the denomination specified in such instrument of assignment,
and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. A Warrant may be exercised by a new
Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock without having a new Warrant
issued.
-3-
(b) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants
upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office or agency of the Corporation,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which
new Warrants are to be issued, signed by Holder or his agent or attorney.
Subject to compliance with subparagraph (a) above, as to any transfer which may
be involved in such division or combination, the Corporation 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) The Corporation shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own
expense (other than stock transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this
Section 2.
(d) The Corporation agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or
agency, books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the
Warrants.
(e) In the case of all dividends or other distributions of the
Corporation to the holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any
provision of Section 3 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the
Corporation will in each such case take such a record and will take such record
as of the close of business on a business day. The Corporation will not at any
time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation,
close its stock transfer books or warrant transfer books so as to result in
preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any warrant.
SECTION 3. ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES SUBJECT TO WARRANT. Upon any
adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Sections 4(a) or 4(b) hereof, the
holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the adjusted
Exercise Price, the number of shares (calculated to the nearest tenth of a
share) obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately
prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment.
SECTION 4. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE.
(a) If the Corporation shall hereafter split, subdivide or combine
its Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be proportionately adjusted so
that the holder of this Warrant shall receive the equivalent number of shares,
at the equivalent cost per share, as if this Warrant was exercised on the date
immediately preceding such split, subdivision or combination of the
Corporation's Common Stock.
(b) If the Corporation shall pay a dividend with respect to the
Common Stock or make any other distribution with respect to the Common Stock
payable in shares of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted,
from and after the date of determination of the shareholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a
-4-
fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution,
and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.
(c) Upon any such adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to
this Section, then and in each such case the Corporation shall give written
notice thereof to Holder stating the Exercise Price resulting from such
adjustment and the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter purchasable under
this Warrant and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation
and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
SECTION 5. RECLASSIFICATION, MERGER, ETC. In the case of any
reclassification of the Common Stock or in the case of any consolidation or
merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation (other than a merger
with another corporation in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation
and which does not result in any reclassification of the Common Stock) or in the
case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation,
then the Corporation, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case
may be, shall execute a new certificate, providing that the holder of this
Warrant shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant and upon such exercise
to receive, in lieu of each share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, the number and kind of shares of stock, other
securities, money or property receivable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger or sale of assets by a holder of shares of the Common
Stock with respect to one share of Common Stock. Such new Warrant certificate
shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for herein. The provisions of this
Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations,
mergers or sales of assets.
SECTION 6. STOCK TO BE RESERVED. The Corporation will at all times reserve
and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock or its treasury shares,
solely for the purpose of issue upon the exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant. The Corporation covenants that all shares of
Common Stock which shall be so issued shall be duly and validly issued and fully
paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect
to the issue thereof. The Corporation will take all such action as may be
necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued
without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of
any national securities exchange upon which the Common Stock of the Corporation
may be listed. The Corporation has not granted and will not grant any right of
first refusal with respect to shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, and
there are no preemptive rights associated with such shares.
SECTION 7. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES. This Warrant shall not
entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder
of the Corporation. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by
the holder hereof to purchase shares
-5-
of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of
the holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such holder for the
Exercise Price or as a shareholder of the Corporation, whether such liability is
asserted by the Corporation or by creditors of the Corporation.
SECTION 8. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay the holder an amount equal
to the fair market value of such fractional share of Common Stock in lieu of
each fraction of a share otherwise called for upon any exercise of this Warrant.
For purposes of this Warrant, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock
shall be determined as follows:
(a) If the Common Stock is listed on a National Securities
Exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange or listed
for trading on the Nasdaq system, the current market value shall be the last
reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange or system on the last
business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or on such day the
average of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or
system, as applicable; or
(b) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges, the current market value shall be the mean of the last
reported bid and ask prices reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. on
the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant; or
(c) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current
market value shall be an amount, not less than book value thereof as at the end
of the most recent fiscal year of the Company ending prior to the date of the
exercise of the Warrant, determined in such reasonable manner as may be
prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Company.
SECTION 9. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Neither the Warrant nor the Warrant Shares
have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act").
9.1 After January 1, 1995, whenever the Company proposes to file
under the Securities Act a Registration Statement relating to any of its Common
Stock, whether on its own behalf or on behalf of any holders of Common Stock of
the Company, the Company shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to such filing,
give written notice of such proposed filing to Holder. Upon receipt by the
Company not more than thirty (30) days after such notice of a written request
from Holder for registration of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants by Holder or held by Holder, the Company shall (A) include in such
registration statement or in a separate registration statement concurrently
filed, and shall use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to
become effective with respect to, the Warrant Shares as to which Holder requests
registration and (B) if such proposed registration is in connection with an
underwritten offering of Common Stock for the benefit of the Company, upon
request of Holder, use its best
-6-
efforts to cause the managing underwriter therefor to include in such offering
the Warrant Shares as to which Holder requests such inclusion, on terms and
conditions comparable to those of the securities offered on behalf of the
Company. Holder shall cooperate with the Company in the preparation of such
Registration Statement, to the extent required to furnish information concerning
the Holder therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.1 shall not be
applicable to registration statements of the Company filed pursuant to Form S-8
or Form S-4.
9.2 Whenever one or more registered holders of a majority of the
Warrants or Warrant Shares issued as of the date hereof pursuant to a certain
Advisory Agreement effective as of July 11, 1994 between Strategica Group, Inc.
or its designees and the Company shall make a written request to the Company to
register under the Securities Act Warrant Shares either issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants or held by such holders, the Company shall within ten (10) days
after such request is received promptly give written notice to holder stating
the estimated approximate date of filing such registration statement, and shall
thereupon promptly use its best efforts to file a registration statement (and
thereafter use its best efforts to cause such registration) with respect to all
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants by Holder or held by
Holder as soon as reasonably practical after the date of receipt of such notice
by the Company. The Company shall not be required at its expense to effect more
than one registration statement pursuant to this Section 9.2. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that Holder exercises
its registration rights under this Section 9.2: (a) on or prior to October 13,
1995, and the registration of the subject Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants or held by such holders shall not have been declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the Securities
Act on or prior to January 5, 1996, then the $1.25 per share Exercise Price
shall be extended to the date that is five (5) business days following such
effective date; or (b) on or prior to April 12, 1997, and the registration of
the subject Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or held by
such holders shall not have been declared effective by the SEC pursuant to the
Securities Act on or prior to July 7, 1997, then the Expiration Date shall be
extended to the date that is five (5) business days following such effective
date.
9.3 If the Corporation is required by the provisions of this
Section 9 to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any of its
securities under the Securities Act, the Corporation will, as expeditiously as
is possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become and remain effective.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and
to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or
other disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement
whenever the Holder of such securities shall desire to transfer the same.
-7-
(c) Furnish to the Holder such number of copies of a summary
prospectus or other prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other
documents, as the Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
transfer of the securities owned by such Holder.
(d) Use its best efforts to register or qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as Holder shall
request (provided that the Company shall not be required to pay registration or
qualification expense for more than ten (10) states to be designated by Holder)
and do such other reasonable acts and things as may be the transfer in such
jurisdictions of the securities owned by Holder.
(e) Furnish, at the request of the Holder requesting
registration of Warrant Shares, on the date that such Warrant Shares are
delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration or, if such
Warrant Shares are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the
registration statement with respect to such shares becoming effective, (1) an
opinion, dated such date, of the outside counsel representing the Corporation
for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any,
and if such Warrant Shares are not being sold through underwriters, then to the
holders making such request, stating that such registration statement has become
effective under the Securities Act and that (i) to the best knowledge of such
counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued and
no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or
contemplated under the Securities Act, (ii) the registration statement, the
related prospectus, and each amendment or supplement thereto, comply as to form
in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder (except that such counsel
need express no opinion as to financial statements contained therein), (iii)
such counsel has no reason to believe that either the registration statement or
the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, contains any untrue
statement of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, (iv) the descriptions in the registration
statement or the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, of all
legal matters and contracts and other legal documents or instruments are
accurate and fairly present the information required to be shown, and (v) such
counsel does not know of any legal or governmental proceedings, pending or
contemplated, required to be described in the registration statement or
prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, which are not described as
required, nor of any contracts or documents or instruments of a character
required to be described in the registration statement or prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or to be filed as exhibits to the registration
statement which are not described and filed or incorporated by reference as
required; and (2) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified
public accountants of the Corporation, addressed to the underwriters, if any,
and if such Warrant Shares are not being sold through underwriters, then to the
Holders making such request, stating that they are independent certified public
accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and that, in the opinion of
such accountants, the financial statements and other financial data of the
Corporation included in the registration statement or the prospectus, or any
-8-
amendment or supplement thereto, comply as to form in all material respects with
the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act. Such opinion of
counsel shall additionally cover such other legal matters with respect to the
registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders may
reasonably request. Such letter from the independent certified public
accountants shall additionally cover such other, financial matters (including
information as to the period ending not more than five (5) business days prior
to the date of such letter) with respect to the registration in respect of which
such letter is being given as the Holders may reasonably request.
(f) Otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.
9.4 The Holder of the securities being so registered agrees to pay
all of the underwriting discounts and commissions with respect to the securities
owned by them being registered. The Company will pay all other costs and
expenses in connection with a registration statement to be filed pursuant to
Section 9 hereof including, without limitation, registration fees, the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Company and Holder, the fees and
expenses of its accountants and all other costs and expenses incident to the
preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of any such
registration statement, each prospectus and all amendments and supplements
thereto, the costs incurred in connection with the qualification of such
securities for sale in not more than ten (10) states as Holder has designated,
including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the costs of
supplying a reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, each
preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and any supplements or amendments
thereto to the Holder.
9.5 The Company agrees to enter into an appropriate
cross-indemnity agreement with any underwriter (as defined in the Securities
Act) for the Holder in connection with the filing of a registration statement
pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof.
9.6 If the Company shall file any registration statement including
therein all or any part of the Warrant Shares either issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants by Holder or held by Holder, the Company and the Holder shall enter
into an appropriate cross-indemnity agreement whereby the Company shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Holder against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereto arising out of or based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
such registration statement, or any omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
statements therein not misleading unless such statement or omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished or required
to be furnished by the Holder, and the Holder shall (to the extent of and
limited to the amount of net proceeds received by the Holder from the sale of
Warrant Shares) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors
and officers who have signed the registration statement and each person, if any,
who controls the Company, within the meaning of the Securities Act against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
-9-
arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
any material fact contained in such registration statement, or any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make statements therein not misleading, if the statement or
omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished or required to be furnished by the Holder expressly for use in such
registration statement.
9.7 Nothing herein shall be construed to require any of the
holders who may desire to include any securities in any registration statement
referred to in Section 9.1 hereof to exercise their Warrants prior to the
effective date of registration statement and such holders, at their option, to
the extent permissible by law, may exercise the Warrants against payment of the
proceeds of the sale of such securities pursuant to a registration statement.
9.8 Until the shares shall be sold or capable of sale without
registration under the Securities Act, the Company at its expense will file such
post-effective amendments as may be necessary to make available for use a
prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act, including, without
limitation, Section 10(a)(3). The Company will cause copies of such prospectus
to be delivered to any person exercising the warrant or selling the shares as
may be required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC.
