WHEREAS, the Company has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement, No. 333-_________ on Form S-4 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Registration Statement”) for the registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended of, the New Warrants to be issued in the Exchange Offer and the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer (the “Warrant Shares”), and such Registration Statement was declared effective on _____________, 2016;

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange and exercise of the New Warrants;

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the New Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights, and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent, and the Holders; and

 

WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the New Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent, as provided herein, the valid and binding obligations of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                  Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the form of Series B Warrant.

 

2.                  Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the New Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant Agreement.

 

2
 

3.                  Book-Entry Warrants.

 

3.1              The New Warrants shall be issuable in book entry form. Ownership of beneficial interests in the New Warrants shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained by (i) the Warrant Agent or its nominee for each New Warrant or (ii) institutions that have accounts with the Warrant Agent.

 

3.2              If the Warrant Agent subsequently ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the New Warrants, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent regarding other arrangements for book-entry settlement or may instruct the Warrant Agent to deliver to each Holder a Warrant Certificate in a form to be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

 

4.                  Terms and Conditions of Warrants. The terms and conditions of the New Warrants are set forth in the form of Series B Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit A. As used herein, the term “Terms and Conditions” will refer to the terms and conditions in Exhibit A.

 

5.                  Transfer of Warrants. A Holder of a New Warrant may transfer or assign its New Warrant pursuant to the Terms and Conditions upon delivery of notice (duly executed by such Holder or its agent or attorney) and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer to the Warrant Agent at the principal office of the Warrant Agent in Denver, CO, or to the office of one of its agents as may be designated in writing by the Warrant Agent. If any such notice is delivered to the Company, the Company will forward the notice to the Warrant Agent.

 

6.                  Exercise of New Warrants.

 

6.1              Subject to the Terms and Conditions, the Holder of a New Warrant may exercise the New Warrant at any time on or after the Issuance Date of such New Warrant in whole or in part, at the option of the Holder, upon delivery of an executed Exercise Notice.

 

6.2              Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of the Exercise Notice as described in Section 6.1 above, the Warrant Agent shall use reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered the Warrant Shares to or upon the order of the Holder of such New Warrant, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such Holder by the date that is three Business Days after the delivery to the Warrant Agent of the properly executed and completed Exercise Notice (the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”); provided, however, that the Warrant Agent shall not be liable to the Company or the Holder for any damages arising out of the failure to deliver the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date to the extent that such failure relates to the acts or omissions of the Company, a Holder or a Holder’s prime broker. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is then a participant in the Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to and resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder, then the certificates for Warrant Shares shall be transmitted by the Warrant Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the DTC through its DWAC system to the extent the Holder arranges with its broker to initiate delivery through the DWAC system and the Warrant Agent has been duly instructed to deliver the Warrant Shares through the DWAC system.

7.                  Concerning the Warrant Agent and Other Matters.

 

7.1              Concerning the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent:

 

(a)                shall have no duties or obligations other than those set forth herein and no duties or obligations shall be inferred or implied;

 

(b)               may rely on and shall be held harmless by the Company in acting upon any certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, facsimile transmission, telegram or other document, or any security delivered to it, and reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been made or signed by the proper party or parties;

 

(c)                may rely on and shall be held harmless by the Company in acting upon written or oral instructions or statements from the Company with respect to any matter relating to its acting as Warrant Agent;

 

(d)               may consult with counsel satisfactory to it (including counsel for the Company) and shall be held harmless by the Company in relying on the advice or opinion of such counsel in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion of such counsel;

 

(e)                solely shall make the final determination as to whether or not a New Warrant received by Warrant Agent is duly, completely and correctly executed, and Warrant Agent shall be held harmless by the Company in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by Warrant Agent hereunder in good faith and in accordance with its determination;

 

(f)                shall not be obligated to take any legal or other action hereunder which might, in its judgment, subject or expose it to any expense or liability unless it shall have been furnished with an indemnity satisfactory to it; and

The Warrant Agent shall not register any transfer or issue or deliver any Warrant Certificate(s) or Warrant Shares unless or until the persons requesting the registration or issuance shall have paid to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company the amount of such tax, if any, or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax, if any, has been paid.

7.3              Resignation, Consolidation, or Merger of Warrant Agent.

 

7.3.1        Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving 60 days’ prior written notice to the Company. The Warrant Agent may be removed by the Company by written notice to the Warrant Agent and the Holders of the New Warrants. If the Warrant Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting as Warrant Agent, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the Holder of the New Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his New Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the Holder of any New Warrant may apply to the courts of the State of Delaware for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at the Company’s cost. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, in good standing and having its principal office in the State of Delaware, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the records, property, authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations. Failure to file or mail any notice provided for in this Section, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of the successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be.

 

7.3.2        Notice of Successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the transfer agent for the Common Stock not later than the effective date of any such appointment.

 

7.3.3        Merger or Consolidation of Warrant Agent. Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Warrant Agreement without any further act.

 

7.4              Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent.

 

7.4.1        Remuneration. The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration in an amount separately agreed to between Company and Warrant Agent for its services as Warrant Agent hereunder and will reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the Warrant Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties hereunder.

 

5
 

7.4.2        Further Assurances. The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged, and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement.

 

7.5              Liability of Warrant Agent.

 

7.5.1        Reliance on Company Statement. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant Agreement.

 

7.5.2        Indemnity. The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, claims, losses, damages, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Warrant Agreement except as a result of the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith.

 

7.5.3        Exclusions. The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Warrant Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any New Warrant (except its countersignature hereof and thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Warrant Agreement or in any New Warrant; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to this Warrant Agreement or any New Warrant or as to whether any Warrant Shares will, when issued, be validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

 

7.6              Acceptance of Agency. The Warrant Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Warrant Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein set forth and, among other things, shall account promptly to the Company with respect to New Warrants exercised and concurrently account for, and pay to the Company, all moneys received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of Warrant Shares through the exercise of New Warrants.

EXHIBIT A

 

Terms and Conditions

 

FORM OF SERIES B WARRANT

 

SKYLINE MEDICAL INC.

 

Warrant No.:

 

Date of Issuance: [            ] (“Issuance Date”)

 

Skyline Medical Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [            ], the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to receive from the Company, upon cashless exercise of this Series B Warrant (including any Warrants issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date (as defined below) until 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), [INSERT NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES COVERED BY THIS WARRANT][1] (subject to adjustment as provided herein) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “Warrant Shares”).

 

Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 16. This Warrant is one of the Series B Warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) issued pursuant to the New Warrant Agency Agreement, dated as of March [___], 2016, by and between the Company and Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc. (the “Warrant Agent”) (the “Warrant Agency Agreement”).

 

This Warrant shall be issuable in book entry form (the “Book-Entry Warrant Certificate”) and shall initially be represented by one or more Book-Entry Warrant Certificates deposited with the Warrant Agent and registered in the name of the Holder, or as otherwise directed by the Warrant Agent. Ownership of beneficial interests in this Warrant shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained by the Warrant Agent (the “Warrant Register”). 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 written notice to the contrary.

 

1.EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

  

______________

[1] Such number of Warrant Shares (subject to adjustment as provided herein) is equal to 10.2 times the original number of warrant shares that were issuable upon a cash exercise of the original Series A Warrant to Purchase Common Stock that was exchanged for this Series B Warrant.

Exhibit A-1
 

(a)                Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in this Section 1), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time on or after the Issuance Date by delivery (whether via e-mail, facsimile or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) to the Company or the Warrant Agent, of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant certificate and issuance of a new Warrant certificate evidencing the right to receive the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant certificate after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. The Company or the Warrant Agent shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was exercised and the date of such exercise. The Company or the Warrant Agent shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise form within 2 Business Days of receipt of the applicable Notice of Exercise. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by e-mail or facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, to the Warrant Agent. On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice (such date is referred to herein as the “Delivery Date”), the Company shall, (X) provided that (I) the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and (II) either a registration statement for the issuance to the Holder of the applicable Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to such Exercise Notice is effective and the prospectus contained therein is usable or such Warrant Shares to be so issued are otherwise freely tradable, cause the Warrant Agent to credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if either of the immediately preceding clauses (I) or (II) are not satisfied, issue and deliver to the Holder or, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each case, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise Notice), for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be); provided, however, that if the date of such receipt is a date upon which the Common Stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such Holder shall be deemed to have become the record holder of such shares on, the next succeeding day on which the Common Stock transfer books of the Company are open. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then, at the request of the Holder and upon surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to receive the number of Warrant Shares issuable under this Warrant immediately prior to such exercise, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes and fees which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

Exhibit A-2
 

(b)               Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue to the Holder on or before the applicable Delivery Date, a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant (as the case may be), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such third (3rd) Trading Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 1% of the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date on which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1(a). In addition to the foregoing, if the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise or exchange hereunder (as the case may be) on or prior to the applicable Delivery Date, and if on or after such Delivery Date the Holder (or any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of Warrant Shares, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of Warrant Shares, issuable upon such exercise or exchange that the Holder so anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise or exchange hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise or exchange hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice, as the case may be, and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (ii).

 

Exhibit A-3
 

(c)                Limitations on Exercises and Exchanges. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable or exchangeable by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder or any of its Affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable or exchangeable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates) and of which such securities shall be exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise or exchange this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability or exchangeability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not amend or waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise or exchange of convertible or exercisable or exchangeable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Warrant or securities issued pursuant to the Certificate of Designation for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

(d)               Insufficient Authorized Shares. The Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock hereunder (without regard to any limitation otherwise contained herein with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquirable upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Series B Warrants remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise or exchange of the Series B Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise or exchange of all of the Series B Warrants then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”) (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the Series B Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.

 

Exhibit A-4
 

2.ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES.

 

The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.

 

(a)                Stock Dividends and Splits. Without limiting any provision of Section 4, if the Company, at any time on or after the Issuance Date, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be divided by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

 

(b)               Calculations. All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest 1/10000th of cent and the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

 

(c)                Other Events. In the event that the Company shall take any similar action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares (if applicable) so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(d) will decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2, provided further that if the Required Holders (as defined below) do not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then the Company’s board of directors and the Required Holders shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.

 

Exhibit A-5
 

3.RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.

 

In addition to, but not duplicative of, any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if the Company, at any time prior to the three year anniversary of the Issuance Date, shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to all or substantially all of the holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, indebtedness, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) by exercising this Warrant in full as of the date immediately preceding the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distributions would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and such Distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage), provided further, such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time as the Holder exercises this Warrant (whether in whole or in part), and subject to the foregoing proviso, upon each exercise of this Warrant the Company shall make such Distribution to the Holder with respect to each Warrant Share for which this Warrant is so exercised until such time as this Warrant has been exercised in full).

 

4.PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

 

(a)                Purchase Rights. In addition to, but not duplicative of, any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if the Company, at any time prior to the three year anniversary of the Issuance Date, grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) by exercising this Warrant in full as of the date immediately preceding the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage), and provided further, that such Purchase Rights shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time as the Holder exercises this Warrant (whether in whole or in part), and subject to the foregoing proviso, upon each exercise of this Warrant the Company shall deliver such Purchase Rights to the Holder with respect to each Warrant Share for which this Warrant is so exercised until such time as this Warrant has been exercised in full).

 

Exhibit A-6
 

(b)               Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements, including agreements confirming the obligations of the Successor Entity as set forth in this paragraph (b) and (c) and elsewhere in this Warrant and an obligation to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant following a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity), or other securities, cash, assets or other property, which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant).

 

(c)                Application. The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied as if this Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants issued hereunder) were fully exercisable and without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant (provided that the Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the Maximum Percentage, applied however with respect to shares of capital stock registered under the 1934 Act and thereafter receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any such other warrant)).

 

5.NONCIRCUMVENTION.

 

The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the par value then in place, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the Series B Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Series B Warrants, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the Series B Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant.
