FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, the
undersigned, Delcath Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its

_______________________________ or its registered assigns is entitled to
subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to
____________________________________ (_____________)(1) shares (subject to
adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price
per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the
provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the number of shares of Common
Stock that can be exercised at any time shall not exceed 25% of the number of
shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Series B Warrants.
Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the respective meanings specified in Section 9 hereof.
1. Term. The term of this Warrant shall commence on November 27, 2005 and
shall expire at 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on the earlier of (A) the date that is
ninety (90) Trading Days following the effective date of a registration
statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock
and the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement if
the Holder does not exercise its Series B Warrant issued pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement
--------------
(1) Equal to 25% (aggregate) warrant coverage.
and (B) November 27, 2010 if the Holder exercises its Series B Warrant (such
period being the "Term").
2. Method of Exercise Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and
Exchange.
(a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised in whole or in part during the Term for only the number of shares
of Warrant Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Holder's Series B Warrant.
(b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in
whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form
attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the
payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the
Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of
shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised, payable at such Holder's election (i) by certified or official bank
check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by
"cashless exercise" in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this
Section 2, but only until the date that a registration statement under the
Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock has been declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission or (iii) by a combination of
the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant. The
Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Issuer within three (3) Trading Days
of the date of exercise.
(c) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
contrary, if (i) the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock is
greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below)
and (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the
resale of the Warrant Stock has not been declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission by the date such registration statement is required to
be effective pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the
Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive the
number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below) by
surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer together with
the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Issuer shall issue
to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following
formula:
X = Y - (A)(Y)
------
B
Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to
the Holder.
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a
portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the
portion of the Warrant being exercised.
A = the Warrant Price.
2
B = the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common
Stock.
(d) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, (i) certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so
purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder
hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such
exercise (the "Delivery Date") or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a
registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the
Warrant Stock is then in effect), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust
Company ("DTC") account on the Holder's behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission System ("DWAC") within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3)
Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all
purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the
date of such exercise and (ii) unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant
representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock, if any, with respect to
which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised (less any amount thereof
which shall have been canceled in payment or partial payment of the Warrant
Price as hereinafter provided) shall also be issued to the Holder hereof at the
Issuer's expense within such time. In addition to any other rights available to
the Holder, if the Issuer fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or
certificates pursuant to Section 2(d) by the Delivery Date and if after the
Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of
the Warrant Stock which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
"Buy-In"), then the Issuer shall pay in cash to the Holder an amount equal to
(A) the aggregate amount paid by such Holder for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased minus (B) the aggregate amount of net proceeds received by such Holder
from the sale of the shares of Common Stock issued by the Issuer pursuant to
such exercise. The Holder shall provide the Issuer written notice indicating the
amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
(e) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(g), this Warrant may
be transferred by a Holder without the consent of the Issuer. If transferred
pursuant to this paragraph and subject to the provisions of subsection (g) of
this Section 2, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by
the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of
this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the
Holder's executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment
of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such
transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for
Warrants for the purchase of the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant
Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares
of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such
exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the
Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the
number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable pursuant thereto.
(f) Continuing Rights of Xxxxxx. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any
time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,
acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to
afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this
3
Warrant, provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request,
the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford
such rights to such Holder.
(g) Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges
that this Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon
exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder's own account and
not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the
Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any
shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant
to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration,
under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all
certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise
hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the
following form:
THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON
EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND
UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR DELCATH SYSTEMS,
INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO DELCATH SYSTEMS, INC. THAT REGISTRATION OF
SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT
REQUIRED.
(iii) The Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates
representing any of the Warrant Stock, without the legend as set forth in
Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreement.
(h) In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in whole or in part
unless the Holder is an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D under
the Securities Act.
3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Stock Fully Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees
that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of
this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through the Issuer. The
Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within
4
which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have
authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of this
Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the
exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder
require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any
federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in
good faith use its reasonable best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its
expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer
shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it
will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such
listing, of all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise
of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant
Stock has been registered pursuant to a registration statement under the
Securities Act then in effect), and, to the extent permissible under the
applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which
are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall
be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or
market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder
of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant
if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such
securities exchange or market by the Issuer.
(c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without
limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the
Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other 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 the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent
specifically provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its
Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or
modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the
Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of
the Warrants in their capacity as Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such
action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and
clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as
provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its reasonable
best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably
necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
(d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such
Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the
right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.
5
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the price at
which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The
Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires
an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with Section 5.
(a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation,
Merger or Sale.
(i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of
the following (each, a "Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate or merge with
or into another corporation where the holders of outstanding Voting Stock
prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over 50% of the
outstanding Voting Stock of the merged or consolidated entity immediately
after such merger or consolidation, or (b) sell all or substantially all of
its properties or assets to any other Person, or (c) change the Common
Stock to the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes
of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise
(other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock
dividends or distributions provided for in Section 4(b) or Section 4(c)),
or (d) effect a capital reorganization (other than by way of a stock split
or combination of shares or stock dividends or distributions provided for
in Section 4(b) or Section 4(c)), then, and in the case of each such
Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis
and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of
this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after
the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is
not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant
Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such
Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of
this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the securities, cash and
property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the
consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the
rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to
adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as
possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the
contrary, a Triggering Event shall not be deemed to have occurred if, prior
to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may
be required to deliver any securities, cash or property upon the exercise
of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument
delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant,
(A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer
shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption
shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any
continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the
obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of securities, cash or
property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection
(a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have
similarly delivered to such Holder a written acknowledgement executed by
the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this
Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and
6
effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the
provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the securities,
cash or property which such Person may be required to deliver upon any
exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.
(b) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the
Issuer shall:
(i) make or issue or set a record date for the holders of its
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend
payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock,
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
larger number of shares of Common Stock, or
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock,
then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted
to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to
receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in
effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after
such adjustment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such record date shall have been fixed and
such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the
date fixed therefor, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this
paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.
(c) Certain Other Distributions. If at any time the Issuer shall make or
issue or set a record date for the determination of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other
distribution of:
(i) cash (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned
surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of
the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Issuer),
(ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any
class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other
than cash), or
7
(iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any
evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any
other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash),
then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Per
Share Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the
denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount
allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of
the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Issuer and supported by an opinion from an investment banking firm of recognized
national standing acceptable to (but not affiliated with) the Holder) of any and
all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or
property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable,
and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the
Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment
divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common
Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or
from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any
other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders
of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the
meaning of this Section 4(c) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a
part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or
combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
within the meaning of Section 4(b).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such record date shall have been fixed and
such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the
date fixed therefor, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this
Section 4(c) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or
distributions.
(d) Intentionally Omitted.
(e) Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The
following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the
Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4:
(i) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this
Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring
an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be
required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of
shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not
beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other
adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of
the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to the making of such
8
adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum
amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and
made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by
this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or
on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event
shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its
occurrence.
(ii) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section
4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the
nearest one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share.
(iii) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Issuer shall take a record
of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive
a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall,
thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon
its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase
rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking
of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall
be rescinded and annulled.
(f) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be
changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind
of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(g) Escrow of Warrant Stock. If after any property becomes distributable
pursuant to this Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the holders
of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record
is taken, and the Holder exercises this Warrant, any shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise by reason of such adjustment shall be deemed the last
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any
other provision to the contrary herein) and such shares or other property shall
be held in escrow for the Holder by the Issuer to be issued to the Holder upon
and to the extent that the event actually takes place, upon payment of the
current Warrant Price. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary
herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is
rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be cancelled by the Issuer and
escrowed property returned.
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share
Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial
Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable
detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the
method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the
basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant
Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall
cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant
promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of
this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at
the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to a national accounting
firm selected by the Holder, provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days
after
9
receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object
thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer
shall have no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this
Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a
written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty
(30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final
and binding on the parties hereto.
6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued
in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares,
the Issuer shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of
the applicable fraction multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then in effect.
7. Ownership Cap and Certain Exercise Restrictions.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Warrant, at no time may a Holder of this Warrant exercise this Warrant if the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise, when
aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder at such
time, would exceed the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in
such Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the
Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon the Holder
of this Warrant providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant
to Section 12 hereof) (the "Waiver Notice") that such Holder would like to waive
this Section 7(a) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, this Section 7(a) will be of no force or effect with
regard to all or a portion of the Warrant referenced in the Waiver Notice;
provided, further, that this provision shall be of no further force or effect
during the sixty-one (61) days immediately preceding the expiration of the term
of this Warrant. The Holder may waive this Section 7(a) by so indicating on the
signature page to the Purchase Agreement, any such waiver to be effective on and
as of the Original Issue Date.
(b) The Holder may not exercise the Warrant hereunder to the
extent such exercise would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant held by
the Holder; provided, however, that upon a holder of this Warrant providing the
Issuer with a Waiver Notice that such holder would like to waive this Section
7(b) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant, this Section 7(b) shall be of no force or effect with regard to
those shares of Warrant Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided,
further, that this provision shall be of no further force or effect during the
sixty-one (61) days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this
Warrant.
8. Call. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, commencing one
(1) year following the effective date of a registration statement under the
Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock and the shares of
Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the "Registration
Statement"), the Issuer, at its option, may call up to one hundred percent
(100%) of this Warrant if
10
the average of the Per Share Market Value of the Common Stock has been greater
than one hundred fifty hundred percent (150%) of the Warrant Price (as may be
adjusted for any stock splits or combinations of the Common Stock) for a period
of twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date of
delivery of the Call Notice (a "Call Notice Period") by providing the Holder of
this Warrant written notice pursuant to Section 13 (the "Call Notice");
provided, that (a) the Registration Statement is then in effect and has been
effective, without lapse or suspension of any kind, for a period of sixty (60)
consecutive calendar days, (b) trading in the Common Stock shall not have been
suspended by the Securities and Exchange Commission or Nasdaq and (c) the Issuer
is in material compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant and the
other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); provided,
further, that the Registration Statement is in effect from the date of delivery
of the Call Notice until the date which is the later of (i) the date the Holder
exercises the Warrant pursuant to the Call Notice and (ii) the 20th day after
the Holder receives the Call Notice (the "Early Termination Date"). The rights
and privileges granted pursuant to this Warrant with respect to the shares of
Warrant Stock subject to the Call Notice (the "Called Warrant Shares") shall
expire on the Early Termination Date if this Warrant is not exercised with
respect to such Called Warrant Shares prior to such Early Termination Date. In
the event this Warrant is not exercised with respect to the Called Warrant
Shares, the Issuer shall remit to the Holder of this Warrant (A) $.10 per Called
Warrant Share and (B) a new Warrant representing the number of shares of Warrant
Stock, if any, which shall not have been subject to the Call Notice upon the
Holder's tendering to the Issuer the applicable Warrant certificate.
