SERIES [A-1/A-2]COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
To Purchase __________ Shares of Common Stock of
ALFACELL CORPORATION
THIS SERIES [A-1/A-2] COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the "Warrant")
certifies that, for value received, _____________ (the "Holder"), is entitled,
upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions
hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after January __, 2007 [6 months from
issuance] (the "Initial Exercise Date") and on or prior to the close of business
on July 17, 2011 (the "Termination Date") but not thereafter, to subscribe for
and purchase from, a Alfacell corporation (the "Company"), up to ______ shares
(the "Warrant Shares") of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the
Company (the "Common Stock"). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock
under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section
2(b).
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated July 17, 2006, among the Company and
the purchasers signatory thereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by
this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or
after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by
delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of
Exercise Form annexed hereto (or such
1
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in
writing to the registered Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on
the books of the Company); and, within 3 Trading Days of the date said
Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have
received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby
purchased by wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States
bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not
be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the
Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the
Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within 3 Trading
Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company.
Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of
the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the
effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares
purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the
number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The
Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within 2
Trading Days of receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute or
discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and
determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and any
assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by
reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a
portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares
available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the
amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock
under this Warrant shall be $2.88, subject to adjustment hereunder (the
"Exercise Price").
c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time after one year from the date of
issuance of this Warrant there is no effective Registration Statement
registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the
Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at
such time by means of a "cashless exercise" in which the Holder shall be
entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of
such election;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of
a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination
Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise
pursuant to this Section 2(c).
2
d) Xxxxxx's Restrictions. The Company shall not effect any exercise of
this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion
of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2(c) or otherwise, to the extent that
after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the
applicable Notice of Exercise, such Holder (together with such Holder's
Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with
such Holder or any of such Holder's Affiliates), as set forth on the
applicable Notice of Exercise, would beneficially own in excess of the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the
foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which
such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of
Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining,
nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder or
any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including,
without limitation, any other Warrants) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein
beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set
forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d)(i),
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
it being acknowledged by a Holder that the Company is not representing to
such Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and such Holder is solely responsible for any schedules
required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the
limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned
by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which a portion of this
Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of a Holder, and the
submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be each Holder's
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which
portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to such
aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation
to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a
determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section
2(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a
Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as
reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the
case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z)
any other notice by the Company or the Company's Transfer Agent setting
forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or
oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm
orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise
of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by such Holder or its
Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock was reported. The "Beneficial Ownership Limitation" shall be
4.99% of the number of shares of the
3
Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The
Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d)(i) may be
waived by such Xxxxxx, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than
61 days' prior notice to the Company to change the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock
upon exercise of this Warrant, and the provisions of this Section 2(d)
shall continue to apply. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such 9.99% limitation,
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived by such
Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented
in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this
Section 2(d)(i) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may
be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership
Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or
desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations
contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this
Warrant.
e) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Authorization of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of
the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon
exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in
respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any
transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
ii. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for
shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer
agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of
the Holder's prime broker with the Depository Trust Company
through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system
if the Company is a participant in such system, and otherwise by
physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the
Notice of Exercise within 3 Trading Days from the delivery to the
Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant
(if required) and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set
forth above ("Warrant Share Delivery Date"). This Warrant shall
be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price
is received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to
have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to
be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of
record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the
Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the
Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all
taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to
Section 2(e)(vii) prior to the issuance of such shares, have been
paid.
4
iii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant
shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the
request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant
certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or
certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the
unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new
Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this
Warrant.
iv. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause its
transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to this
Section 2(e)(iv) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the
Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
v. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver
Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights
available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its
transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an
exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if
after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase
(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 times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise
to such purchase obligation was executed, 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 an aggregate
sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $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 and, upon request
of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing
herein shall limit a Xxxxxx'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
5
representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant
as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
vi. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or
scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which
Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such
exercise, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash
adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal
to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to
the next whole share.
vii. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates
for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for
any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect
of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates
shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or
names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that
in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in
a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when
surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment
Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company
may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum
sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental
thereto.
viii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its
stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the
timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
(f) [AS TO SERIES A-2 WARRANTS ONLY] Call Provision. If on or before
December 31, 2006 (i) the Company enters into a pharmaceutical or biotech
corporate partnership agreement for territories which include the United
States with a public company having either (A) a market capitalization on
such date greater than $350 million or (B) annual product sales for the
most recent fiscal year of greater than $150 million, which agreement is
widely disseminated to the public by the Company on or before January 5,
2007 and (ii) the Company notifies the Holder in writing that, on account
of the occurrence referenced above, this Warrant is cancelled and of no
further force or effect, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been
terminated and cancelled and have no further force or effect.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a
distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other
equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock
(which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common
Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (B) subdivides
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
6
shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by
reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock
of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by
a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before
such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately
adjusted. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become
effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall
become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) [INTENTIONALLY DELETED].
c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. Until three years from the date of
issuance of this Warrant, the Company shall not issue rights, options or
warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) entitling them
to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock without the consent of
the Holder.
d) Pro Rata Distributions. Until three years from the date of issuance
of this Warrant, the Company shall not distribute to all holders of Common
Stock (and not to Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its indebtedness or
assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which
shall be subject to Section 3(b)).
e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of
all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (C) 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 (D) 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, upon any subsequent exercise of this
Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share
that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder,
(a) upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of
the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the
surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "Alternate
Consideration") receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a
Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such event or (b) if the Company is
acquired in an all cash transaction, cash equal to the value of this
Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing
formula. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the
Exercise Price shall be
7
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. To the extent necessary to
effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or
surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder
a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the
Holder's right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. 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 Section 3(e) and insuring that
this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted
upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made
to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed
to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the
number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued
and outstanding.
g) [INTENTIONALLY DELETED].
h) Notice to Holders.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price
is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the
Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth
the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a
brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Xxxxxx. If (A) the Company
shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever
form) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a
special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the
Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all
holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for
or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any
rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall
be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common
Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a
party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby
the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or
property; (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
8
up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company
shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it
shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least
20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is
not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common
Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,
redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the
date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of
the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their
shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to
mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof
shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to
be specified in such notice. The Holder will be entitled to
exercise this Warrant during the 20-day period commencing on the
date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering
such notice, provided that this Warrant is otherwise exercisable.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable
securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to
the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and
all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration
rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this
Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the
form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney
and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of
such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the
Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of
the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations
specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor
a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and
this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned,
may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without
having a new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other
Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in
which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or
attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which
may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or
Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.
9
c) Warrant Register. 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 deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant 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.
d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this
Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of
this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or
blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such
transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may
be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion
shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in
comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be made
without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and
deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance
acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an "accredited
investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), or (a)(8)
promulgated under the Securities Act or a "qualified institutional buyer"
as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of
the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(e)(ii).
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company
covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in
case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include
the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such
Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of
such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for
the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such
right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is
outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock
a sufficient
10
number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further
covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority
to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock
certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.
The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to
assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of
the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the
Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending
its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, 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 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 Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase
the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon
such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares
upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to
enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the
number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or
exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any
public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares
acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have
restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or
failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Xxxxxx's rights, powers or
remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on
the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and
11
knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results
in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such
amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of
appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due
pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or
remedies hereunder.
h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or
permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be
delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase
Agreement.
i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any
affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder,
shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any
Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Remedies. Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all
rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
