STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
To Purchase [________] Shares of Common Stock of
DENTAL/MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS, INC.
THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, [_____________________] (the
"Holder"), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter
set forth, at any time on or after March 15, 2000 (the "Initial Exercise Date")
and on or prior to the close of business on March 15, 2005 (the "Termination
Date") but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Dental/Medical
Diagnostic Systems, Inc., a corporation incorporated in Delaware (the
"Company"), up to [______________________________ (___________)] shares (the
"Warrant Shares") of Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Company (the "Common
Stock"). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock (the "Exercise Price")
under this Warrant shall be $_________ (130% of the Market Price of the Common
Stock on the Closing Date of the Exchangeable Preferred Stock and Warrants
Purchase Agreement dated as of October 25, 1999 pursuant to which this Warrant
has been issued (the "Purchase Agreement")). The Exercise Price and the number
of shares for which the Warrant is exercisable shall be subject to adjustment as
provided herein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Warrant
and the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement shall control. Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth
for such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
1. TITLE TO WARRANT. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to
compliance with applicable laws and the terms 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 hereof in person or by duly authorized
attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form
annexed hereto properly endorsed.
2. AUTHORIZATION OF SHARES. The Company covenants that all shares of
Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of rights represented by this
Warrant will, upon exercise of the 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).
3. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. Except as provided in Section 4 herein, exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made at any time or
times on or after the Initial Exercise Date, and before the close of business on
the Termination Date by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise
Form annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the Company (or such other
office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the
registered holder hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of
the Company) and upon payment of the Exercise Price of the shares thereby
purchased by wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank, the
holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number
of shares of Common Stock so purchased. Certificates for shares purchased
hereunder shall be delivered to the holder hereof within five (5) Trading Days
after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid.
This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or
certificates 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 Holder faxes a Notice
of Exercise to the Company, provided that such fax notice is followed by
delivery of the original notice and payment to the Company of the Exercise Price
and all taxes required to be paid by Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 5 prior
to the issuance of such shares, have been paid within three (3) Trading Days of
such fax notice. 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 shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant,
which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant. If
there is no registration in effect permitting the resale by the Holder of the
Warrant Shares at any time from and after one year from the issuance date of
this Warrant, then the Holder shall have the right to a "cashless exercise" in
which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of
shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = the average of the high and low trading prices per share of Common Stock
on the Trading Day preceding the date of such election;
(B) = the Exercise Price of the Warrant; and
EX 10.2 - 2
(X) = the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant.
4. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled
to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to the Exercise Price.
5. CHARGES, TAXES AND EXPENSES. Issuance of certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to
the holder hereof for any issue or federal or state 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 of this Warrant or in such name or names as may
be directed by the holder of this Warrant; provided, however, that in the event
certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than
the name of the holder of this Warrant, this Warrant when surrendered for
exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly
executed by the holder hereof; and the Company may require, as a condition
thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax
incidental thereto.
6. CLOSING OF BOOKS. The Company will not close its shareholder books or
records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant.
7. TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION. (a) the Holder (and its
transferees and assigns), by acceptance of this Warrant, covenants and agrees
that it is acquiring the Warrants evidenced hereby, and, upon exercise hereof,
the Warrant Shares, for its own account as an investment and not with a view to
distribution thereof. The Warrant Shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws and no transfer of any Warrant
Shares shall be permitted unless the Company has received notice of such
transfer, at the address of its principal office set forth in the Purchase
Agreement, in the form of assignment attached hereto, accompanied by an opinion
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that an exemption from
registration of such Warrants or Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is
available for such transfer, except that no such opinion shall be required after
the registration for resale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares, as contemplated
by the Registration Rights Agreement. Upon any exercise of the Warrants,
certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear a restrictive legend
substantially identical to that set forth on the face of this Warrant
certificate. Any purported transfer of any Warrant or Warrant Shares not in
compliance with the provisions of this section shall be null and void.
(b) 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 Holder or its agent or attorney.
Subject to compliance with Section 7(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.
EX 10.2 - 3
(c) The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own
expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under
this Section 7.
(d) The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office,
books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
8. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE. This Warrant does not entitle
the holder hereof 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, 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.
9. 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 certificate
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 shall not exceed that customarily charged by the Company's transfer
agent), 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.
10. 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.
11. ADJUSTMENTS OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. (a) STOCK
SPLITS, ETC. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time upon the happening of any of the following. In case the Company shall (i)
pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of
Common Stock to holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common
Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock
in a reclassification of the Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be
adjusted so that the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive the
kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which he
would have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised in advance
thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number of Warrant Shares or
other securities of the Company which are purchasable hereunder, the holder of
this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of Warrant
Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at an Exercise Price
per Warrant Share or other security obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing by
the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company resulting from
such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to
EX 10.2 - 4
this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of
such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
(b) REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR
DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital,
reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another
corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where
there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of
the Company), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all its property, assets or business to another corporation
and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification,
merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of
the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or
other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants
or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of
common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("Other
Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common
Stock of the Company, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to
receive, 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 Other Property 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. In
case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation
or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if
other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual
observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of
this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the
obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as
may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of
the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for
adjustments of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 11. For purposes of this Section
11, "common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation" shall
include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as
to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation
and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any
evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are
convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately
or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified
event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any
such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 11 shall similarly
apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers,
consolidations or disposition of assets.
12. VOLUNTARY ADJUSTMENT BY THE 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.
13. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number
or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall
promptly mail by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the
holder of this Warrant notice of such adjustment or adjustments setting forth
the number of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon
the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and
other securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief
statement of the facts
EX 10.2 - 5
requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such
adjustment was made. Such notice, in the absence of manifest error, shall be
conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
14. NOTICE OF CORPORATE ACTION. If at any time:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other
distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of
its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company
or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer
or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or
business of the Company to, another corporation or,
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at
least 10 days' prior written notice of the record date for such dividend,
distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 10 days' prior
written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in
accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which
any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or
right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any
such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and
(ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which
the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common
Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice shall be
sufficiently given if addressed to Holder at the last address of Holder
appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section
16(d).
EX 10.2 - 6
15. 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 Principal Market
upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder
against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant 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 shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use its best 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 cause an adjustment reducing the
current Exercise Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take any
corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly
and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at
such adjusted Exercise Price.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the
number of shares of Common Stock 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.
16. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) JURISDICTION. This Warrant shall be binding upon any
successors or assigns of the Company. This Warrant shall constitute a
contract under the laws of Delaware without regard to its conflict of
law, principles or rules, and be subject to arbitration pursuant to the
terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
EX 10.2 - 7
(b) RESTRICTIONS. The holder hereof 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.
(c) 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 all rights hereunder terminate on the
Termination Date. If the Company fails to comply with any provision of
this Warrant, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be
sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings,
incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in
otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
(d) NOTICES. Any notice, request or other document required or
permitted to be given or delivered to the holder hereof by the Company
shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the
Purchase Agreement.
(e) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. No provision hereof, in the absence
of affirmative action by Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and
no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder hereof, shall
give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common
Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(f) REMEDIES. Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise
all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be
entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The
Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation
for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of
this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for
specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(g) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Subject to applicable securities laws,
this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and
the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this
Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to
time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by any such Holder or
holder of Warrant Shares.
(h) INDEMNIFICATION. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Holder from and against any liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, attorneys'
fees, expenses and disbursements of any kind which may be imposed upon,
incurred by or asserted against Holder in any manner relating to or
arising out of any failure by the Company to perform or observe in any
material respect any of its covenants, agreements, undertakings or
obligations set forth in this Warrant; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Company will not be liable hereunder to the extent that any liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
claims, costs, attorneys' fees, expenses or disbursements are found in a
final non-appealable judgment by a court to have resulted from Holder's
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
EX 10.2 - 8
(i) AMENDMENT. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the
provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the
Holder.
(j) SEVERABILITY. Wherever possible, each provision of this
Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions
of this Warrant.
EX 10.2 - 9
(k) HEADINGS. The headings used in this Warrant are for the
convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a
part of this Warrant.
