STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
To Purchase up to 150,000 Shares of Common Stock of
X X INTERNATIONAL INC.
THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, Navigator Investments Holding
IX Limited and its assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled, upon the terms and
subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth,
at any time during the Exercise Period (as hereinafter defined), at the Exercise
Price (as hereinafter defined), to subscribe for and purchase from X X
International Inc., a corporation incorporated in the British Virgin Islands
(the "Company"), up to 150,000 shares (the "Warrant Shares") of Common Stock,
$0.01 par value, of the Company (the "Common Stock"). 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 Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of April 15, 2002
pursuant to which this Warrant has been issued (the "Purchase Agreement"), the
Purchase Agreement shall control. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase
Agreement.
1. Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable (the "Exercise
Period") commencing on the date hereof and terminating at 5:00 p.m. Florida time
on April 14, 2005.
2. Exercise Price. Subject to adjustment as provided herein, the per
share price at which this Warrant may be exercised (the "Exercise Price") shall
be $1.7892 per share.
3. Title to Warrant. During the Exercise Period and subject to
compliance with applicable laws, 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.
4. Authorization of Shares. The Company covenants that all shares of
Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue
thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously
with such issue).
5. Registration Rights. The Warrant Shares shall be registered under
the Securities Act, to the extent provided in the Registration Rights Agreement
of even date herewith, by and between the Company and the Holder of this
Warrant.
6. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made at any time or times
during the Exercise Period, 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 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
Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and
all taxes required to be paid by Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 8 prior to
the issuance of such shares, have been paid.
(b) 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.
(c) This Warrant shall also be exercisable by means of 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:
2
(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 on the Nasdaq Stock
Market, or if the Common Stock is not traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, then
the Principal Market in terms of volume, and converted into US Dollars;
(B) = the Exercise Price of the Warrants; and
(X) = the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no
event shall the holder be permitted to exercise this Warrant for shares of
Common Stock to the extent that (i) the number of shares of Common Stock owned
by such Holder (other than shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant) plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant, would be equal to or exceed 9.9% of the number of shares of
Common Stock then issued and outstanding, including shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant held by such holder after application of this Section
6(d). As used herein, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. To the extent that the limitation
contained in this Section 6(d) applies, the determination of whether this
Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the holder) and
of which a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole
discretion of such holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be
deemed to be such holder's determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable
(in relation to other securities owned by such holder) and of which portion of
this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage
limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the
accuracy of such determination. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
restrict the right of a holder to exercise this Warrant into shares of Common
Stock at such time as such exercise will not violate the provisions of this
Section 6(d). The provisions of this Section 6(d) may be waived by the Holder of
this Warrant upon, at the election of the Holder, 61 days' prior notice to the
Company, and the provisions of this Section 6(d) shall continue to apply until
such 61st day (or such later date as may be specified in such notice of waiver).
No exercise of this Warrant in violation of this Section 6(d) but otherwise in
accordance with this Warrant shall affect the status of the Common Stock issued
upon such exercise as validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
7. 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 that 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 such fraction multiplied by
the Exercise Price.
8. 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 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
3
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.
9. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books
or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant.
10. Transfer, Division and Combination.
(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws,
transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be
registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon
surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with
a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto
duly executed by Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. In the event that the
Holder wishes to transfer a portion of this Warrant, the Holder shall transfer
at least 20,000 shares underlying this Warrant to any such transferee. Upon such
surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver
a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the
denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and
shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant
not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if
properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of shares
of Common Stock without having a new Warrant issued.
(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 10(a), as to any transfer which may be
involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver
a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided
or combined in accordance with such notice.
(c) The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own
expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this
Section 10.
(d) The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office,
books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
11. 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.
12. 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
4
Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it (which may include the posting of any
bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate,
if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock
certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such
Warrant or stock certificate.
13. 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.
14. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. 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 (a) pay a dividend
in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to
holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, (c) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock, or (d) 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 owned or 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 this paragraph shall become effective
immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record
date, if any, for such event.
15. 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,
5
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 15. For purposes of
this Section 15, "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 15 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.
16. 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 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.
17. 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 date on which a record date shall be
selected for such dividend,
6
distribution or right 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 (1) 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 (2) 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 19(d).
18. 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 articles 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 commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary
to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment
in the number of 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.

19. 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 Florida, 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.
(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. 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.
(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) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the
provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
(i) 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.
(j) 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.
