EXHIBIT
A
Registration Rights
All of the Warrant Shares will be deemed “Registrable Securities” subject to the provisions of this Exhibit A. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached.
As used in this Exhibit A, the following capitalized terms have the following meanings:
“Holder” means the Purchaser defined in the Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached.
“Registration Statement” means any Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or such other form then available to the Company) that is filed by the Company in connection with an IPO or filed with respect to any offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for shareholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by shareholders of the Company) other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan on Form S-8, (ii) for a dividend reinvestment plan or (iii) in connection with a merger or acquisition.
1. Registration Rights.
1.1 Piggy-Back Rights.
1.1.1 | If (A) the Company proposes to complete an initial public offering of its Common Stock (the “IPO”) or (B) at any time after the Company has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or subject to the reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities for a resale offering and the Company proposes to file any Registration Statement, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed IPO or filing to the holders of Registrable Securities appearing on the books and records of the Company as such a holder as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated IPO or filing date of the Registration Statement, which notice shall describe the IPO or the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration Statement, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the IPO or other offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an underwriter or underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration. |
1.1.2 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.1, if the Piggy-Back registration involves an underwriter or underwriters of a primary offering of the Company’s securities and such underwriter or underwriters advise the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among such holders of Registrable Securities in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities then owned by each holder or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling holders; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities held by the holders to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities other than the securities being offering by the Company in the primary offering are first entirely excluded from the underwriting. |
A-1
1.2 Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the IPO or Registration Statement. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 1.7 below.
1.3 Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 1.1 above, if the SEC informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single Demand Registration Statement or Registration Statement, the Company agrees to inform each of the holders of such Registrable Securities thereof and use commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Demand Registration Statement or Registration Statement, as the case may be, as required by the SEC, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the SEC, on Form S-1 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering, subject to the provisions of Section 1.1 above.
1.4 The Company shall notify the holders of Registrable Securities at any time when a prospectus relating to such holder’s Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such Demand Registration Statement or Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. At the request of such holder, the Company shall also prepare, file and furnish to such holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. The holders of Registrable Securities shall not offer or sell any Registrable Securities covered by the Demand Registration Statement or Registration Statement after receipt of such notification until the receipt of such supplement or amendment.
1.5 The Company may request a holder of Registrable Securities to furnish the Company such information with respect to such holder and such holder’s proposed distribution of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Demand Registration Statement or Registration Statement as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as shall be required by law or by the SEC in connection therewith, and such holders shall furnish the Company with such information.
A-2
1.6 All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Exhibit A by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Demand Registration Statement or Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the SEC, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with any trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, (C) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities) and (D) with respect to any filing that may be required to be made by any broker through which a holder of Registrable Securities intends to make sales of Registrable Securities with the FINRA, (ii) printing expenses, (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other persons or entities retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Exhibit A. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any holder of Registrable Securities.
1.7 The Company and its successors and assigns shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holder, each holder of Registrable Securities, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents and employees (and any other individuals or entities with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each of them, each individual or entity who controls the Holder or any such holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners, agents and employees (and any other individuals or entities with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling individual or entity (each, an “Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Demand Registration Statement or a Registration Statement, any related prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any such prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Exhibit A, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding a Holder or such holder of Registrable Securities furnished to the Company by such party for use therein. The Company shall notify each Holder and each holder of Registrable Securities promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Exhibit A of which the Company is aware.
1.8 If the indemnification under Section 1.7 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, the Company or the Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 1.7 was available to such party in accordance with its terms. It is agreed that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 1.9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.8, neither the Holder nor any holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such party from the sale of all of their Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration Statement or Registration Statement or related prospectus exceeds the amount of any damages that such party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement of omission or alleged omission.

(a) Cash Exercise. The payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased; or
1 NTD: To be 5 years from date of closing.
B-1
(b) Cashless Exercise: In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 4(a) the Holder may elect to convert all or a portion of this Warrant, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion of this Warrant to the Company, together with a Notice of Exercise electing a Cashless Exercise, into up to the number of shares of Common Stock that is obtained under the following formula:
X
= Y (A-B)
A
Where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 4(b).
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is then being net exercised.
A = the fair market value of one share of Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, as at the time the net exercise election is made pursuant to this Section 4(b).
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that where there exists a public market for the Company’s Common Stock at the time of such exercise, the fair market value per share shall be the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the last reported sale price of the Common Stock or the closing price quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market or on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as officially reported by the principal securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading for the five (5) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Warrant is exercised in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock, the fair market value per share shall be the per share offering price to the public of the Company’s initial public offering.
(c) Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other common stock equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(c) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two trading days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(c). Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this Section 4(c) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(c) to correct this Section 4(c) (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. “Affiliate” means any person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Act.
B-2
5. Certificates for Common Stock. Upon the exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, the Company shall within two business days issue to the Holder, at the Company’s discretion, either (i) an electronic share certificate via the Company’s cap table management platform or (ii) a physical stock certificate, in each case, representing the number of shares of Common Stock so purchased as soon as practicable thereafter, with any appropriate restrictive legend or notation required by law.
6. Issuance of Common Stock. The Company covenants that the shares of Common Stock, when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
7. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares of Common Stock. The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the date of issuance (the “Issuance Date”), the Company issues or sells any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share or issues any common stock equivalents with an exercise price or conversion price (in either case, the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the following: (i) shares of Common Stock issued by reason of a dividend, stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 7(b) below, (ii) shares of Common Stock or options therefor issued to employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company pursuant to a compensatory plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or (iii) shares of Common Stock or convertible securities actually issued upon the exercise of options to purchase securities of the Company outstanding on the date hereof (and not taking into account any modification of the terms thereof following the date hereof) or shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of convertible securities of the Company outstanding on the date hereof (and not taking into account any modification of the terms thereof following the date hereof), including shares of Common Stock or common stock equivalents issued upon conversion of the Company’s existing Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) with Celsius provided such shares of Common Stock or common stock equivalents are issued at price representing no less than 85% of the Common Stock or common stock equivalent price utilized in the transaction triggering such issuance. Upon any such adjustment of the Exercise Price, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company acknowledges and agrees that if at any time following the date hereof the Company issues any shares of Common Stock, common stock equivalents or other equity linked securities, other than any issuance specifically addressed in subclauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above (“Equity Securities”), and the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to such Equity Securities shall be less than the Exercise Price then in effect on the date of issuance of such Equity Securities then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 7(a) on the basis that (1) the maximum number of additional shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any such Equity Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of issuance of such Equity Securities and (2) the consideration for any such additional shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the minimum consideration received and receivable by the Company for the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such Equity Securities.
(b) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied 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, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
(c) Merger, Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any merger, reclassification, capital reorganization or change in the capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 7(a) above), then the Company shall make appropriate provision so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such merger, reclassification, reorganization or change by a holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock as were purchasable by the holder of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the holder of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.
B-3
(d) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.
(e) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. If as a result of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 7, the Holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder.
(f) Subsequent Rights Offering. In addition to any adjustments described above, if at any time the Company grants or issues any securities of the Company or its subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock or any other securities, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to receive, 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 immediately before 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.
8. Restrictive Legend.
The shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall (unless such exercise was either registered under the Act or implemented via cashless exercise in a transaction that satisfies the holding period requirement contained in Rule 144 under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY LAWS,” AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
9. Transfer of Warrant. The Company shall register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant upon (i) surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Transfer attached as Schedule 2 hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein (ii) delivery, at the request of the Company, of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the transfer of such portion of this Warrant may be made pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) and all applicable state securities or blue sky laws. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”) evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee, and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a Holder of a Warrant.
B-4
10. Rights of Stockholders. Except as described elsewhere herein, no holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, as a Warrant holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.
11. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, 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 of the terms and in the taking of all actions necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees that it (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant or take any other action if as a result thereof such par value would exceed the Exercise Price and (b) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate so that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock on the exercise of this Warrant.
12. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the issuance of shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the transfer or registration of this Warrant or any certificate for shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant in a name other that of the Holder. The Holder is responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant upon exercise hereof.
13. 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 or any stock certificate relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of this Warrant, shall not 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.
14. Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period this Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of all of the shares issuable upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.
B-5
15. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, shall be effective when given, and shall in any event be deemed to be given upon receipt or, if earlier, (a) five (5) days after deposit with the U.S. Postal Service or other applicable postal service, if delivered by first class mail, postage prepaid, (b) upon delivery, if delivered by hand, (c) one business day after the business day of deposit with Federal Express or similar overnight courier, freight prepaid, if such overnight delivery is requested, or (d) one business day after the business day of facsimile transmission, if delivered by facsimile transmission with copy by first class mail, postage prepaid, and shall be addressed (i) if to the Holder, at the Holder’s address as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) if to the Company, at the address as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, or at such other address as a party may designate by ten days advance written notice to the other party pursuant to the provisions above.
16. Governing Law. This Warrant and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of New York.
17. Remedies. The 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 and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
18. Attorney’s Fees. In the event Holder prevails in any litigation or other legal proceeding initiated to enforce its rights hereunder, the Company shall reimburse Holder for all fees and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by Holder in connection therewith.
19. Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any holder from time to time of this Warrant.
20. Amendment and Waiver. No provision of this Warrant shall be waived or modified without the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
21. 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.
