WHEREAS, the Company has
requested that the Holders exchange the outstanding principal amount of the

Preferred Stock, together with all accrued dividends (collectively, the “Transaction”), for
shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) as set
forth herein;
NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements of the
parties hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:
1. Debt
Exchange and Preferred Stock Conversion.
(a) The
Holders hereby agree, subject to the conditions set forth herein, to exchange
the principal amount of the Tranche C Debt, together with all accrued interest
(approximately $14,000,000) (collectively, the “Tranche C Debt
Value”), and convert approximately $8,600,000 of the Series A Preferred
Stock in accordance with its terms at a conversion price of $4.96 per share,
together with all accrued dividends (collectively, the “Preferred Stock
Value” and, together with the Tranche C Debt Value, the “Aggregate Value”),
for an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of the Aggregate
Value as of the Closing (defined below) divided by the volume weighted average
price of the Common Stock for the five (5) trading days prior to and the five
(5) trading days including and after the public announcement of the execution of
this Agreement, subject to appropriate adjustment for reclassifications, stock
splits, stock dividends, spin-offs or distributions, share combinations or other
similar changes affecting the Common Stock as a whole (the “Conversion
Price”). The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of
the Tranche C Debt are referred to herein as the “Debt Exchange Shares”
and the Debt Exchange Shares together with the shares issuable upon conversion
of the Series A Preferred Stock are referred to collectively herein as the
“Exchange
Shares.” The Company and the Holders further agree to apply

Tranche C Debt and then to the accrued interest. To the extent possible, the
Company and the Holders shall treat the Transaction as a tax-free reorganization
pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 368(a)(1)(E).
(b) At
the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“Shareholder
Meeting”), the Company will present the Transaction to shareholders for
their approval. In connection with such Shareholder Meeting, the
Company will prepare and mail to its shareholders as promptly as practicable a
proxy statement and all other proxy materials (the “Proxy Statement”) for
such meeting. The Company and the Holders shall cooperate with each
other in all reasonable respects with the preparation of the Proxy Statement and
any amendment or supplement thereto. The Company shall notify the
Holders of the receipt of any comments of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“Commission”)
with respect to the Proxy Statement and any requests by the Commission for any
amendment or supplement thereto or for additional information, and shall provide
to them promptly copies of any correspondence between the Company or its counsel
and the Commission with respect to the Proxy Statement. The Company
shall give the Holders and their counsel the opportunity to review the Proxy
Statement and all responses to requests for additional information by and
replies to comments of the Commission before their being filed with, or sent to,
the Commission. The Company will use its commercially reasonable
efforts, after consultation with the Holders, to respond promptly to all such
comments of and requests by the Commission and to cause the Proxy Statement to
be mailed to the Company’s shareholders entitled to vote at the Shareholder
Meeting at the earliest practicable time.
(c) The
Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary
approvals by its shareholders for the Transaction and any related matters
(“Shareholder
Approval”) at the Shareholder Meeting and shall cause its Board of
Directors to include in the Proxy Statement its recommendation that the
Company’s shareholders vote in favor of the matters presented in the Proxy
Statement. In the event that Shareholder Approval is not obtained on
the date on which the Shareholder Meeting is initially convened, the Board of
Directors of the Company shall adjourn the meeting from time to time as
necessary for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder Approval and shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts during any such adjournments to obtain
Shareholder Approval.
(d) By
executing this Agreement, each Holder hereby appoints Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx or Xxxxxx
Xxxxx, or either of them, with full power of substitution, as its agent,
attorney and proxy, representing an irrevocable proxy pursuant to Section 609 of
the New York Business Corporation Law, coupled with an interest, so as to vote
all the shares of Common Stock held by the Holders in accordance with the vote
of a majority of votes cast at the Shareholder Meeting excluding the shares held
by the Holders.
(e) The
Company shall comply with all legal requirements applicable to the Shareholder
Meeting and take such other actions as may be necessary to effectuate the
Transaction, including, but not limited to, providing notices to, and responding
to queries from, all applicable regulatory authorities and stock exchanges and
obtaining all necessary third party consents.

the last of the conditions set forth in Section 4(c) below is fulfilled, at the
offices of Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, The Chrysler Building, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx
Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, or at such other time, date or place as the parties may

of shares would be required to be issued, such fractional shares shall be
rounded up or down to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay
any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on such Transaction,

thereof), joint or several, arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus,

statement, notification or the like) incident to any registration, qualification
or compliance pursuant to this Section 5 or based on any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or

Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to
the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or
compliance, and will reimburse the Holders, their directors and officers, each
such underwriter and each person who controls any of them within the meaning of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act for any legal and any other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or action or proceeding; provided that the
Company will not be liable to the Holders in any such case to the extent that
any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on
any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of the Holders specifically stating that it is intended
for inclusion in any registration statement under which Registrable Securities
are registered. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holders or any such director,
officer or controlling person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities
by the Holders.
(ii) The
Holders shall indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers and each
underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such registration
statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the
meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, each other securityholder participating in such distribution and
each of their officers and directors and each person controlling such other
securityholder, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions
or proceedings, commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arising out of or
based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or
other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such other security
holders, directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for any
legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating
or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action or proceeding, in
each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such
document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by or on behalf of the Holders specifically stating that it is
intended for inclusion in such document. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Company or any such director, officer or controlling person, and shall survive
the transfer of such securities by the Holders.
9
(d) In
order to provide for just and equitable contribution under the Securities Act in
any case in which (A) any person entitled to indemnification under Section (c)
makes a claim for indemnification pursuant hereto but such indemnification is
not enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this section provides
for indemnification in such case, or (B) contribution under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or otherwise is required on the part of any such person in
circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this section, then,
and in each such case, the Company and the Holders shall contribute to the
aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature
contemplated by said indemnity agreement (including legal and other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigation or defense) incurred by the
Company and the Holders, as incurred, in proportion to their relative fault and
the relative knowledge and access to information of the Securities Indemnifying
Party (defined below), on the one hand, and the Securities Indemnified Party
(defined below), on the other hand, concerning the matters resulting in such
losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses, the opportunity to correct
and prevent any untrue statement or omission, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission of a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Securities Indemnifying
Party, on the one hand, or the Securities Indemnified Party, on the other hand,
and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances;
provided that no person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this section, each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
(e) Each
party desiring indemnification or contribution under Section 5(c) and 5(d)
hereof (the “Securities Indemnified
Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification or contribution (the “Securities Indemnifying
Party”) promptly after such Securities Indemnified Party has actual
knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity or contribution may be sought, and
shall permit the Securities Indemnifying Party to assume, at its sole cost and
expense, the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom,
provided that counsel for the Securities Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct
the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be
approved by the Securities Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld). The Securities Indemnified Party may
participate in such defense at the Securities Indemnified Party's expense unless
(A) the employment of counsel by the Securities Indemnified Party has been
authorized in writing by the Securities Indemnifying Party, (B) the
Securities Indemnified Party has been advised by such counsel employed by it
that there are legal defenses available to it involving potential conflict with
those of the Securities Indemnifying Party (in which case the Securities
Indemnifying Party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action
on behalf of the Securities Indemnified Party), or (C) the Securities
Indemnifying Party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of
such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement
of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel for the Securities Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the
Securities Indemnifying Party. The failure of any Securities Indemnified Party
to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Securities Indemnifying
Party of its obligations under this Section 5. No Securities
Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall,
except with the consent of each Securities Indemnified Party, consent to entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Securities Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such
claim or litigation. No Securities Indemnified Party shall settle any claim or
demand without the prior written consent of the Securities Indemnifying Party
(which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). Each Securities
Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim
in question as the Securities Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in
writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such
claim and litigation resulting therefrom. The provisions of Section
5(c) and 5(d) shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or
contribution which an Indemnified Party may have pursuant to law, equity,
contract or otherwise.
10
(f) Each
Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself and the
distribution proposed by it as the Company may reasonably request in writing and
as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance referred to in this Section 5.
(g) The
Company shall comply with all of the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act
and with all other public information reporting requirements of the Commission,
which are conditions to the availability of Rule 144 for the sale of the Common
Stock. The Company shall cooperate with the Holders in supplying such
information as may be necessary for the Holders to complete and file any
information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as
a condition to the availability of Rule 144.

WARRANT AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT (THE “WARRANT SHARES”) MAY NOT BE

LAWS. THIS WARRANT AND THE WARRANT SHARES MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, SOLD,

Date of
Issuance: ______ __, 2010
FREDERICK’S
OF HOLLYWOOD GROUP INC.
Common
Stock Purchase Warrant
(Void
after ______________)
Frederick’s
of Hollywood Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for value
received, hereby certifies and agrees that ___________ or its registered assigns
(the “Registered Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to
purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time on or after the date
hereof (the “Date of Issuance”) and on or before _______________ [three, five or seven years from
closing] at not later than 5:00 p.m. New York time (such date and time,
the “Expiration Time”), _________ (________) duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par
value per share (the “Common Stock”) at an initial exercise price equal to $____
[150%, 175% or 200% of the
conversion price, but not less than the closing price of the Company’s common
stock on the date of issuance] per share, subject to adjustment in
certain cases as described herein. The shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant, and the purchase price per share, are hereinafter referred to as the
“Warrant Shares” and the “Exercise Price,” respectively. The term
“Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant and any other warrants
delivered in substitution or exchange therefor, as provided herein.
This
Warrant is issued pursuant to that certain Debt Exchange and Preferred Stock
Conversion Agreement of even date herewith between the Company and the
Registered Holder (the “Exchange and Conversion Agreement”). The
Warrant Shares are entitled to the benefits of the registration rights set forth
in the Exchange and Conversion Agreement.
1. Exercise.
1.1. Method of
Exercise
(a) This
Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or in part, by
surrendering this Warrant, with a Notice of Exercise in the form of Annex A hereto (the
“Notice of Exercise”) duly executed by such Registered Holder or by such
Registered Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the
Company set forth in Section 11 hereof, or at such other office or agency as the
Company may designate in writing pursuant to Section 11 hereof (the “Company’s
Office”), accompanied by payment in full with good, cleared funds, in lawful
money of the United States, of the Exercise Price payable in respect of the
number of shares of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise or by
surrendering the Warrant pursuant to Section 1.2 below.
(b) Each
exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior
to the close of business on the day on which the appropriate Annex form shall be
received by the Company as provided in Section 1.1(a) hereof. At such time, the
person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares
shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1.1(c) hereof shall
be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares
represented by such certificates.
(c) As
soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, in full or in part, and
in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, will
cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or
as such Registered Holder (upon payment by such Registered Holder of any
applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
(i) a
certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares to which such
Registered Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise (or evidence that such
Warrant Shares have been issued in the name of the Registered Holder in book
entry form) plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Registered
Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined pursuant to
Section 3 hereof; and
(ii) in
case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date
hereof) of like tenor, representing in the aggregate on the face or faces
thereof the number of Warrant Shares equal (without giving effect to any
adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this
Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon
such exercise or surrender as provided herein.
2
1.2 Exercise by Surrender of
Warrant. In addition to the method of payment set forth in
Section 1.1 and in lieu of any cash payment required thereunder, the Warrant may
be exercised by surrendering the Warrant in the manner specified in this Section
1, together with irrevocable instructions to the Company to issue in exchange
for the Warrant the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x)
the number of Warrant Shares multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the Market Value (as defined below) of the Common Stock less the
Exercise Price and the denominator of which is such Market Value. As used
herein, the phrase “Market Value” at any date shall be deemed to be the volume
weighted average of the last reported sale prices of the Common Stock for the
last ten (10) Trading Days prior to the date of exercise, as officially reported
by the principal securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or
admitted to trading, or, if the Common Stock is traded “over the counter”, by a
quotation system (including the pink sheets or Nasdaq OTC Electronic Bulletin
Board) covering such trades or if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to
trading on any national securities exchange or sold “over the counter,” the
average closing bid price as furnished by the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority through Nasdaq or similar organization if Nasdaq is no longer
reporting such information, or if the Common Stock is not quoted on Nasdaq or
traded “over the counter,” as determined in good faith by resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Company, based on the best information available to
it. “Trading Day” shall mean a day during which trading in securities
generally occurs in the applicable securities market or on the principal
securities exchange or bulletin board on which the Common Stock is then traded,
listed or quoted.
2.
Shares to be Fully Paid;
Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants that all shares of Common
Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant will, upon issuance by the Company, be duly and validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable, and free from preemptive rights and free from all taxes,
liens, duties and charges with respect thereto and, in addition, the Company
covenants that it will from time to time take all such action as may be
requisite to assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all
times equal to or less than the effective Exercise Price. The Company
further covenants that, from and after the Date of Issuance and during the
period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the
Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive
rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for
the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of
shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by
this Warrant. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this
Warrant, the Company shall take any and all corporate action as is necessary to
increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of
shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. The Company will take
all such action within its control as may be necessary on its part to assure
that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any national securities
exchange upon which the Common Stock of the Company may be listed.
3. Fractional Shares.
The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue any
fractional shares, but shall make an adjustment therefor in cash on the basis of
the Market Value for each fractional share of the Company’s Common Stock which
would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
4. Requirements for
Transfer.
(a) Warrant Register. The
Company will maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the names
and addresses of the Registered Holder or Registered Holders. Any Registered
Holder of this Warrant or any portion thereof may change its address as shown on
the Warrant Register by written notice to the Company requesting such change,
and the Company shall promptly make such change. Until this Warrant is
transferred on the Warrant Register of the Company, the Company may treat the
Registered Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this
Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, provided,
however, that if and when this Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, treat the bearer hereof as the
absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary.
3
(b) Warrant Agent. The
Company may, by written notice to the Registered Holder, appoint an agent for
the purpose of maintaining the Warrant Register referred to in Section 4(a)
hereof, issuing the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant,
exchanging this Warrant, replacing this Warrant or any or all of the foregoing.
Thereafter, any such registration, issuance, exchange, or replacement, as the
case may be, may be made at the office of such agent.
(c) Transfer. Subject to
the provisions of applicable securities laws and this Section 4, this Warrant
and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon the
surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed Assignment Form in
substantially the form attached hereto as Annex B (the
“Assignment”) at the principal office of the Company.
(d)
Exchange of
Warrant Upon a Transfer. On surrender of this Warrant for exchange,
properly endorsed on the Assignment and subject to the provisions of this
Warrant and limitations on assignments and transfers as contained in this
Section 4, the Company at its expense shall issue to or on the order of the
Registered Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the
Registered Holder or as the Registered Holder (on payment by the Registered
Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, for the number of shares
issuable upon exercise hereof.
5. Adjustment.
5.1 Stock Dividends –
Split-Ups. If after the date hereof, and subject to the
provisions of Section 5.6 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by
a split-up of shares of Common Stock, or other similar event, then, on the
effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased
in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common
Stock.
5.2 Aggregation of
Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the
provisions of Section 5.6, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or
reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the
effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split,
reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in
outstanding shares of Common Stock.
5.3 Adjustments in Exercise
Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in
Section 5.1 and 5.2 above, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest
cent) by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by
a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such
adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
4
5.4 Replacement of Securities
upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or
reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change
covered by Section 5.1 or 5.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value
of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation
of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or
merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not
result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation
or entity of all or substantially all of the assets or all or substantially all
other property of the Company, as an entirety or substantially as an entirety,
in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Warrant holders shall
thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the
terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the shares of
Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable
upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of
shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon
such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a
dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the Warrant holder would
have received if such Warrant holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s)
immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a
change in the number of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 5.1 or
5.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3
and this Section 5.4. The provisions of this Section 5.4
shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers
or consolidations, sales or other transfers.
5.5 Notices of Changes in
Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give
written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if
any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a
Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the
facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of
any event specified in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4, then, in any such event,
the Company shall give written notice to each Warrant holder, at the last
address set forth for such holder in the warrant register, of the record date or
the effective date of the event, which notice shall state the Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the
number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant,
setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon
which such calculation is based. Failure to give such notice, or any
defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such
event.
5.6 Form of
Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of
any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5, and Warrants issued after such
adjustment may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of shares as is
stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to this
Agreement. However, the Company may at any time in its sole
discretion make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem
appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant
thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an
outstanding Warrant or otherwise, shall be in the form as so
changed
5
6. No Impairment. The
Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or
through any reorganization, recapitalization, sale or transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms of this Warrant but will at all times in good faith carry out all such
terms and take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in
order to protect the rights herein of the holder of this Warrant against
dilution or other impairment.
7. Redemption. At
any time after _______, 2011, [first anniversary of the issuance
date] this Warrant may be redeemed by the Company, in whole but not in
part, at its sole option, upon not less than twenty (20) business days’ prior
written notice as provided in Section 11 hereof (“Redemption Notice”) to the
Registered Holder, at the redemption price of $0.01 per share for every share of
Common Stock purchasable upon exercise hereof at the time of such redemption, if
the last sale price of a share of Common Stock is at least 200% of the Exercise
Price for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the day prior to the day on
which notice of redemption is given to the Registered Holder. The
sending of the Redemption Notice shall not affect the Registered Holder’s
ability to exercise the Warrant at any time prior to the date of
redemption. On and after the date of redemption, the holder shall
only have the right to receive $0.01 per share of Common Stock purchasable upon
exercise hereof at the time of such redemption.
8. Notices of Record Date,
Etc. In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of
its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the
exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to
receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe
for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to
receive any other right; or of any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving entity), or any
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or of the
voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company,
then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
Registered Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i)
the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which
the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities at the
time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for
securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such notice to be mailed promptly, and in any event, at least ten (10)
business days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified
in such notice unless such prior notice is waived by the Registered Holder in
writing.
6
9. No Rights of
Shareholders. Subject to other Sections of this Warrant and
the provisions of the Exchange and Conversion Agreement, the Registered Holder
shall not be entitled to vote, to receive dividends or subscription rights, nor
shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Registered
Holder, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including
without limitation any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any
matter submitted to shareholders, to give or withhold consent to any corporate
action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification
of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation,
merger, conveyance, or otherwise), to receive notices, or otherwise, until the
Warrant shall have been exercised as provided herein.
10. Replacement of
Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company
of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case
of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu
thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
