MILLENNIUM CELL INC.
FIRST WARRANT
Warrant No. 2 Date of Original Issuance: June 19, 2002
Millennium Cell Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), hereby
certifies that, for value received, ZLP Master Technology Fund, Ltd. or its
registered assigns (the "HOLDER"), is entitled to purchase from the Company up
to a total of 44,803 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share (the
"COMMON STOCK"), of the Company (each such share, a "WARRANT SHARE" and all such
shares, the "WARRANT SHARES") at an exercise price (as adjusted from time to
time as provided in Section 9, the "EXERCISE PRICE") per Warrant Share equal to
$3.93, at any time and from time to time from and after December 19, 2002 (the
"TARGET DATE") and through and including June 19, 2007 (the "EXPIRATION DATE"),
and subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this
Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein that are
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date of original
issuance of this Warrant, between the Company and the original Holder (the
"PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), shall have the meanings given to such terms in the
Purchase Agreement.
2. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant,
upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "WARRANT
REGISTER"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may treat the registered Holder 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 notice to the contrary.
3. Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer
of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this
Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed,
to the Transfer Agent or to the Company at its address specified herein. 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.
4. Exercise and Duration. Subject to the provisions of Section 5, this
Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time
to time on or after the Target Date to and including the Expiration Date. At
6:30 p.m., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this
Warrant available for exercise and not exercised prior thereto shall be and
become void and of no value, provided, that if the closing sales price of the
Common Stock on the Expiration Date is greater than 102% of the Exercise Price
on the Expiration Date, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised
in full (to the extent not previously exercised) on in accordance with Section
10 hereof at 6:30 P.M. New York City time on the Expiration Date. The Company
may not call or redeem all or any portion of this Warrant without the prior
written consent of the Holder.
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon delivery of the Form of Election to Purchase to the
Company (with the attached Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its address for
notice set forth in Section 13 and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied
by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder,
the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days after
the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver to the Holder, a
certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise free of
restrictive legends unless otherwise required by the Purchase Agreement. The
Company shall, upon request of the Holder and subsequent to the date on which a
registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares has been
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, use its reasonable
commercial efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through
the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation
performing similar functions, if available, provided, that, the Company may, but
will not be required to change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent
cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through the Depository Trust
Corporation.
A "DATE OF EXERCISE" means the date on which the Holder shall have
delivered to the Company (i) the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto
(with the Warrant Exercise Log attached to it), appropriately completed and duly
signed and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares
so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.
-2-
(b) If by the fifth Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the
Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner
required pursuant to Section 5(a), then the Holder will have the right to
rescind such exercise.
(c) If by the fifth Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the
Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner
required pursuant to Section 5(a), and if after such fifth Trading Day 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 the Warrant Shares
which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a "BUY-IN"), then the
Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder's
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the
number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder
in connection with the exercise at issue by (B) the closing bid price of the
Common Stock at the time of the obligation giving rise to such purchase
obligation and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of
the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was
not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that
would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and
delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to
an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with a market price on the date
of exercise totaled $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding
sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder
shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the
Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
(d) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any
violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and
irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of
Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other
remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with
respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the
terms hereof.
-3-
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates
for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without
charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer
agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such
certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company;
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 registration of any
certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the
Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may
arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant
Shares upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe.
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at
all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant. The Company covenants that all Warrant
Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the
applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and
validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to
time as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock
or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable
in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such 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.
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i)
evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of
Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case,
"DISTRIBUTED PROPERTY"), then, at the request of any Holder delivered on the
record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution, the Company will deliver
-4-
to such Holder, within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on
the effective date of such distribution), the Distributed Property that such
Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Warrant Shares for
which such Xxxxxx's Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such
record date. If such Distributed Property is not delivered to a Holder pursuant
to the preceding sentence, then upon any exercise of the Warrant that occurs
after such record date, such Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to
the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion, the Distributed
Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such
number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Warrant
Shares immediately prior to such record date.
(c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding: (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of
all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company
or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock
or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(in any such case, a "FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION"), then the Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and
kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive
upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant
Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the "ALTERNATE
CONSIDERATION"). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the
Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate
Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect
of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company
shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a
reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of
the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as
to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. At the Holder's option and request, any successor to the Company or
surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall, either (i) issue to the
Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent
with the foregoing provisions and omitting subsection 9(d) below and evidencing
the Holder's right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate
Exercise Price upon exercise thereof, or (ii) purchase the Warrant from the
Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such
request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction),
equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this
Warrant on the date of the Fundamental Transaction as well as assumptions
reasonably mutually acceptable to the Company and the Holder, provided that for
purposes of such calculation, the market price of the Common Stock shall be the
closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding
the public announcement of the Fundamental Transaction and the volatility factor
shall be determined by reference to the 12 month average industry volatility
measures. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction
is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity
to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and insuring that the
Warrant (or any such replacement security)
-5-
will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a
Fundamental Transaction.
(d) Subsequent Equity Sales.
(i) If the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as
applicable with respect to Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below), at any
time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or
rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt that is convertible into
or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock ("COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS")
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share
less than the Exercise Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalent so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price
adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices
or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights issued in connection with
such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price less
than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less
than the Exercise Price), then, at the option of the Holder for such exercises
as it shall indicate, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to mirror the
conversion, exchange or purchase price for such Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents (including any reset provisions thereof) at issue. Such adjustment
shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued.
The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day
following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to
this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable
reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section
9(d) in respect of:
(A). Any grant of an option or warrant for
Common Stock or issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of any options or warrants to employees, officers and
directors of or consultants to the Company pursuant to any stock option
plan, employee stock purchase plan or similar plan or incentive or
consulting arrangement approved by the Company's board of directors;
(B). Any rights or agreements to purchase
Common Stock Equivalents outstanding on the date hereof and as
specified in Schedule 3.1(g) to the Purchase Agreement (but not as to
any amendments or other modifications to the number of Common Stock
issuable thereunder, the terms set forth therein, or the exercise price
set forth therein);
(C). Any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents issued for consideration other than cash pursuant to a
merger, consolidation, acquisition or other similar business
combination;
(D). Any issuances of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents to a Person which is or will be, itself or through
its subsidiaries, an operating company in a business related to or
complementary with the business of the Company and in which the Company
receives reasonably material benefits in addition to the investment of
funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is
issuing
-6-
securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity
whose primary business is investing in securities;
(E). Any Common Stock Equivalents that
entitle the holders thereof to acquire up to 500,000 shares of Common
Stock issued pursuant to any equipment leasing arrangement;
(F). Any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents issued to pay all or a portion of any investment banking,
finders or similar fee or commission, which entitles the holders
thereof to acquire shares of Common Stock at a price not less than the
market price of the Common Stock on the date of such issuance and which
is not subject to any adjustments other than on account of stock splits
and reverse stock splits;
(G). Any shares of Common Stock issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant or any similar warrant issued pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement;
(H). Any shares of Common Stock issued upon:
(i) exercise of the Warrants (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or
(ii) conversion of the Debentures (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement);
(I). Any adjustment to the Conversion Price
(as defined in the Debentures) of the Debentures pursuant to Section
6(c) of the Debentures or exercise price in the Warrants; or
(J). a bonafide underwritten public offering
of the Common Stock resulting in gross proceeds in excess of $15
million to the Company (it being understood that equity line
transactions, including any on going warrant financing, or any similar
arrangements shall not constitute a bona fide underwritten public
offering of the Common Stock for the purposes hereof).
(ii) If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary issues Common Stock
Equivalents at a price per share that floats or resets or otherwise
varies or is subject to adjustment based on market prices of the Common
Stock (a "FLOATING PRICE SECURITY"), then for purposes of applying the
preceding paragraph in connection with any subsequent exercise, the
Exercise Price will be determined separately on each Exercise Date and
will be deemed to equal the lowest price per share at which any holder
of such Floating Price Security is entitled to acquire shares of Common
Stock on such Exercise Date (regardless of whether any such holder
actually acquires any shares on such date).
(e) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any
adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (d) of this
Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such
adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted
number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
-7-
(f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall
be made to the nearest cent or 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.
(g) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly
compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare
a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the
adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing
the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company's Transfer Agent.
(h) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement providing for
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing
the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days
prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to
hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order
to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this
Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any
defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to
be described in such notice.
10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price
in one of the following manners:
(a) Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately
available funds; or
(b) Cashless Exercise. At any time after the earlier to occur
of the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and
the date the initial registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement is declared effective by the Commission, when a registration
statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a
selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective, the Holder may surrender
this Warrant to the Company together with a notice of cashless exercise, in
which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares
determined as follows
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
-8-
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be
issued to the Holder.
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with
respect to which this Warrant is being
exercised.
A = the average of the closing bid prices
for the five Trading Days immediately prior
to (but not including) the Exercise Date.
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is
intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a
cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the
Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have
commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement.
11. Limitations on Exercise. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in
respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that,
following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of
Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any
other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated
with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not
exceed 9.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
exercise). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an Exercise Notice hereunder will
constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation
set forth in this paragraph and determined that issuance of the full number of
Warrant Shares requested in such Exercise Notice is permitted under this
paragraph. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common
Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the
amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the
event of a merger or other business combination or reclassification involving
the Company as contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant.
(b) If the Company has not obtained the Shareholder Approval
(as defined below), then the Company may not issue in excess of 56,380 shares of
Common Stock (such number of shares, as adjusted from time to time, the
"ISSUABLE MAXIMUM"). If the Holder shall no longer hold the Warrant due to
exercise or cancellation of the Warrant, then the Holder's remaining portion of
the Issuable Maximum shall be allocated pro-rata among the remaining Holders. If
on any Date of Exercise: (A) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that
would then be issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant would exceed the
Issuable Maximum, and (B) the Company shall not have previously obtained the
vote of shareholders (the "SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL"), if any, as may be required by
the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq National Market (or any
successor entity) applicable to approve the issuance of shares of Common Stock
in excess of the Issuable Maximum pursuant to the terms hereof, then the Company
shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock to the
-9-
Issuable Maximum and, with respect to the remainder of the Warrant Shares then
issuable under the Warrant for which an exercise in accordance with the
applicable exercise price would result in an issuance of shares of Common Stock
in excess of the Issuable Maximum (the "EXCESS WARRANT SHARES"), the Holder
shall have the option to require the Company to use its best efforts to obtain
the Shareholder Approval applicable to such issuance as soon as is possible, but
in any event not later than the 90th day after such request. The Company and the
Holder understand and agree that shares of Common Stock issued to and then held
by the Holder as a result of exercise of this Warrant shall not be entitled to
cast votes on any resolution to obtain Shareholder Approval pursuant hereto. If
the Company shall succeed in obtaining the Shareholder Approval, the Excess
Warrant Shares shall again become fully exercisable by the Holder.
12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will
be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any
fractional shares which would, otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash
equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing bid price of one
Warrant Share as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on the date of exercise.
13. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or
later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading
Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight
courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is
required to be given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to
the Company, to Millennium Cell Inc., 0 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx
Xxxxxx, 00000, Facsimile No.: (000) 000-0000, Attn: Chief Financial Officer, or
(ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the
Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may
provide to the Company in accordance with this Section.
14. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon 30 days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new
warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent
may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to
the preceding sentence, nothing in
-10-
this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and
the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this
Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and
the Holder and their successors and assigns.
(b) All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and

and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought
against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers,
shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. Each party hereto
hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to
the enforcement of this Warrant), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not
to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or
proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action
or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or
overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in
effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall
constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto (including its affiliates,
agents, officers, directors and employees) hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury
in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the
transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence an action or
proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, then the prevailing party
in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its
attorneys fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
(c) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.
(d) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant
shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good
faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a
commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall
incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.
