THIS CERTIFIES THAT the Holder is entitled to purchase from EA INDUSTRIES
INC., a New Jersey corporation (hereinafter called the "Company"), at $1.50 per
share the number of shares of the Company's common stock set forth above
("Common Stock").
1. All rights granted under this Warrant shall expire on _____________, and
no shares of Common Stock may be acquired under this Warrant from and after such
date.
2. This Warrant and the Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant
(the "Shares" or "Underlying Shares") may be transferred, sold, assigned or
hypothecated, only if registered by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Act") and registered and qualified in every applicable state or if the
Company has received the opinion of counsel to the Holder, which opinion and
counsel shall be satisfactory to counsel to the Company, to the effect that
registration of the Warrant or the Underlying Shares and registration and
qualification in every applicable state is not necessary in connection with such
transfer, sale, assignment or hypothecation. The Underlying Shares shall be
appropriately legended to reflect this restriction and stop transfer
instructions shall apply. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section
shall apply to all successive transfers.
3. Any permitted assignment of this Warrant shall be effected by the Holder
by (i) executing an appropriate form of assignment, (ii) surrendering the
Warrant for cancellation at the office of the Company, accompanied by the
opinion of Counsel referred to above; and (iii) unless in connection with an
effective registration statement which covers the sale of this Warrant and or
the Underlying Shares, delivery to the Company of a statement by the Holder (in
a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and its counsel) that such Warrant
is being acquired by the Holder for investment and not with a view to its
distribution or resale; whereupon the Company shall issue, in the name or names
specified by the Holder (including the Holder) new Warrants representing in the
aggregate rights to purchase the same number of Shares as are purchasable under
the Warrant surrendered. Such Warrants shall be exercisable immediately upon any
such assignment of the number of Warrants assigned.
4. The term "Holder" should be deemed to include any transferee Holder of
this Warrant pursuant to a transfer in compliance with the requirements
described herein.
5. The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock which
may be issued upon exercise hereof will, upon issuance, be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
6. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other
rights as a stockholder of the Company.
7. In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company
are at any time increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a
different number or kind of share or other security of the Company or of another
corporation through reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation,
recapitalization, stock split, combination of shares or stock dividends payable
with respect to such Common Stock, appropriate adjustments in the number and
kind of such securities then subject to this Warrant shall be made effective as
of the date of such occurrence so that the position of the Holder upon exercise
will be the same as it would have been had he owned immediately prior to the
occurrence of such events the Common Stock subject to this Warrant. Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall
occur and the Company will notify the Holder of the Warrant of each such
adjustment. Any fraction of a share resulting from any adjustment shall be
eliminated.
8. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised at any time
within the period above specified by (i) surrender of this Warrant, before
issuance of the Underlying Shares, at the principal executive office of the
Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by
notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the
books of the Company); (ii) payment to the Company by check or wire transfer of
the exercise price for the number of Shares specified in the above-mentioned
purchase form together with applicable stock transfer taxes, if any and (iii)
unless in connection with an effective registration statement which covers the
sale of the shares underlying the Warrant, the delivery to the Company of a
statement by the Holder (in a form acceptable to the Company and its counsel)
that such Shares are being acquired by the Holder for investment and not with a
view to their distribution or resale. The certificates for the Common Stock so
purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not
exceeding five (5) days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have
been so exercised, and shall bear a restrictive legend with respect to any
applicable securities laws.
9. If the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Act
with respect to an offering by the Company for its own account of its Common
Stock (other than a registration statement on Form S-4, S-8 or S-14 or any form
substituting therefor or filed in connection with an exchange offer or an
offering of securities solely to the Company's existing stockholders or
employees) during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on
expiration of this Warrant, the Company shall in each case give written notice
of such proposed filing to the Holder and such notice shall offer the Holder the
opportunity to register such number of the Shares as the Holder may request in
writing within ten days after receipt of such notice. If such offering is an
underwritten offering, the amount of shares included by Holder may be reduced in
the sole discretion of the managing underwriter. In connection with a piggy-back
registration, the Company will bear all Registration Expenses. The Holder shall
deliver such documents, and provide the Company with such information, as is
necessary or desirable to effectuate such registration.
10. If a registration statement covering the Shares has not been declared
effective on or before _________________ so as to permit the disposition of all
Shares that have been or may be acquired hereunder and the Holder has not waived
its rights to have Shares included in any prior registration statement filed by
the Company, the Holder shall have the right to demand that the Company
repurchase the Warrant. This right shall be exercisable by written notice to the
Company anytime between _____________ and the earlier of ______________ or the
date such registration statement has been declared effective. The price to be
paid by the Company for the Warrant shall be (a) the weighted average price per
Share of the Common Stock of the Company as reported by Bloomberg Business
Services in its Volume At Price service for the day on which the Company
receives such notice or the next succeeding business day if the NYSE is not open
for business on that day less the exercise price for the Warrant Shares
multiplied by (b) the number of Shares for which the Warrant is then
exercisable. The purchase price shall be paid by the Company within three (3)
days after receipt by the Company of such demand.
11. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
internal laws of New Jersey.
