SAF-T-HAMMER CORPORATION
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT NO. CL-1
This certifies that, for value received, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx ("Holder"), is
entitled to subscribe for and purchase from Saf-T-Hammer Corporation, a Nevada
corporation ("Company"), 354,725 shares, subject to adjustment as set forth in
ARTICLE II below ("Warrant Shares"), of Common Stock of the Company, par value
$0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), at the exercise price of $1.00 per share
which price is subject to adjustment as set forth in ARTICLE II below
(collectively the "Exercise Price"), at any time and from time to time beginning
on the date of this Warrant as set forth below ("Exercise Date"), and ending on
the date that is two (2) years after the date of this Warrant ("Expiration
Date"), upon written notice from the Holder to the Company ("Notice") and
subject to the terms provided herein.
This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and
conditions:
ARTICLE I.
EXERCISE; RESERVATION OF SHARES
Section 1.01 Warrant Exercise. The rights represented by this Warrant
may be exercised by the Holder at any time and from time to time prior to the
expiration of this Warrant, upon Notice, by the surrender at the principal
office of the Company of this Warrant together with a duly executed subscription
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A ("Subscription Form") and accompanied by
payment, in certified
2
or immediately available funds, of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant
Shares specified in the Subscription Form. The shares so purchased shall be
deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the
close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall be exercised as
hereinabove provided. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of shares
that shall be issued upon such exercise shall be rounded to the nearest whole
share without the payment or receipt of any additional consideration.
Section 1.02 Net Issuance Right. Notwithstanding the payment provisions
set forth above, the holder may elect to convert this Warrant into shares of
Warrant Shares by surrendering this Warrant at the office of the Company and
delivering to the Company the notice of net issuance exercise annexed as Exhibit
B duly completed and executed by the holder, in which case the Company shall
issue to the holder the number of shares of Warrant Shares of the Company equal
to the result obtained by (a) subtracting B from A, (b) multiplying the
difference by C, and (c) dividing the product by A as set forth in the following
equation:
X = (A - B) x C where:
-----------
A
X = the number of shares of Warrant Shares issuable
upon net issuance exercise pursuant to the provisions
of this SECTION 1.02.
A = the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one
share of the Warrant Shares on the date of net
issuance exercise.
B = the Exercise Price for one share of the Warrant
Shares under this Warrant.
C = the number of shares of Warrant Shares as to which
this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the
provisions of SECTION 1.01.
If the foregoing calculation results in a negative number, then no shares of
Warrant Shares shall be issued upon net issuance exercise pursuant to this
SECTION 1.02. "Fair Market Value" of one share of the Warrant Shares shall mean:
3
(i) if the net issuance exercise is in connection with a
transaction specified in Section 2.01, the value of the consideration
(determined, in the case of noncash consideration, in good faith by the
Company's Board of Directors) to be received pursuant to such transaction by the
holder of one share of the Warrant Shares;
(ii) if the Company's Common Stock is traded on an exchange or
is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, the average of the closing or last sale
price reported for the five business days immediately preceding the date of net
issuance exercise;
(iii) if the Company's Common Stock is not traded on an
exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market, but is traded in the over-the-counter
market, the mean of the closing bid and asked prices reported for the five
market days immediately preceding the date of net issuance exercise; and
(iv) In all other cases, the fair value as determined in good
faith by the Company's Board of Directors.
Upon net issuance exercise in accordance with this SECTION 1.02, the Holder
shall be entitled to receive from the Company a stock certificate in proper form
representing the number of shares of Warrant Shares determined in accordance
with the foregoing.
Section 1.03 Certificates. Certificates for the shares purchased
pursuant to SECTION 1.01 OR 1.02 shall be delivered to the Holder within ten
(10) days after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so
exercised, and a new Warrant in the name of the Holder representing the rights,
if any, that shall not have been exercised prior to the Expiration Date with
respect to this Warrant shall also be delivered to such Holder within such time,
with such new Warrant to be identical in all other respects to this Warrant. The
Holder shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of
the Warrant Shares on the date this Warrant was exercised (the date the Holder
has fully complied with the requirements of SECTION 1.01 OR 1.02), irrespective
of the date of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the
Warrant Shares; provided that, if the date such exercise is made is a date when
the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed
to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares at the close of
business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
The term "Warrant," as used herein, includes any Warrants into which this
4
Warrant may be divided or combined and any subsequent Warrants issued upon the
transfer or exchange or reissuance upon loss hereof.
Section 1.04 Company Covenants. The Company represents, warrants,
covenants and agrees:
(a) That all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon
exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with
respect to the issue thereof; and
(b) That during the period the rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have
authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issue and delivery upon
exercise of the rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number
of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant.

ARTICLE II.
ADJUSTMENTS
Section 2.01 Adjustment Events.
(a) Capital Events. If any reorganization or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the
sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation
(in any instance, a "Capital Event") shall be effected in such a way
that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock,
securities or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange
for their Common Stock, then, as a condition of such Capital Event,
lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Holder hereof
shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis
and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant and in lieu
of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately
theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights
represented hereby, an amount of such shares of stock, securities or
assets (including cash) as may have been issued or payable with respect
to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common
Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately
theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights
represented hereby had such Capital Event not taken place.
(b) Preservation of Value. In the case of any Capital
Event, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights
and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the
provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for
adjustment of the number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of
this Warrant and the Exercise Price hereof) shall thereafter be
applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock,
securities or assets (including cash) thereafter deliverable upon the
exercise of the rights represented hereby.
(c) Obligation Expressly Assumed. The Company shall not
effect any consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of
its assets, unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor
corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such
consolidation or merger, or the corporation into or for the securities
of which the previously outstanding stock of the Company shall be
changed in connection with such consolidation or merger,
6
or the corporation purchasing such assets, as the case may be, shall
assume by written instrument executed and mailed or delivered to the
registered Holder at the last address of such Holder appearing on the
books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder, upon
exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets
(including cash) as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such
Holder may be entitled to purchase.
Section 2.02 Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In the event that the
Company shall at any time subdivide or split its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares subject to
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at the opening of business on the day
upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately
increased. In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the number of shares
subject to issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at the opening of business on
the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately
decreased. Any such increase or decrease, as the case may be, shall become
effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day
upon which such subdivision or combination, as the case may be, becomes
effective.
Section 2.03 Stock Dividends. In the event that the Company shall at
any time declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock payable in
stock, the number of Warrant Shares subject to issuance upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be increased by the number (and the kind) of shares which would
have been issued to the holder of this Warrant if this Warrant were exercised
immediately prior to such dividend. Such increase shall become effective
immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date
for such dividend or distribution.
Section 2.04 Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time shall not include shares of the Company owned or
held by or for the account of the Company.
Section 2.05 Minimum Adjustment. No adjustment in the number of shares
that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant as provided in this Article II
shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease
in such number of shares of at least one percent (1%) of the then adjusted
number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of this
Warrant; provided, however, that any such adjustments that by reason of the
foregoing are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into
account and included in
7
determining the amount of any subsequent adjustment; and provided further, that
if the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of
Common Stock or issue additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend, said
percentage shall forthwith be proportionately adjusted so as to appropriately
reflect the same.
Section 2.06 Adjustment of Exercise Price. Whenever the number of
shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant is
adjusted, and effective at the time such adjustment is effective, as provided in
Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 of this Article II, the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted (to the nearest whole cent) by multiplying each 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 which may be issued upon the
exercise of each such Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so
purchasable immediately thereafter. The Company may retain a firm of independent
certified public accountants (which may not be the regular accountants employed
by the Company) to make any required computation, and a certificate signed by
such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
SECTION 2.07 [Intentionally Omitted]
Section 2.08 Calculation of Consideration. In the case of an issue of
additional shares of Common Stock for cash, the consideration received by the
Company shall be deemed to be the net cash proceeds received for such shares. In
the case of an issue of additional shares of Common Stock for noncash
consideration, the Company's Board of Directors shall determine the value of
such consideration and such determination, unless shown by the Holder to have
been made other than in good faith, shall be conclusive.
Section 2.09 Record Date. In the event that the Company shall not take
a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
receive a dividend payable in Common Stock, then such record date shall be
deemed for the purposes of this Article II to be the date of the issue or sale
of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the
declaration of such dividend.
8
Section 2.10 Officer's Certificate. Whenever the Exercise Price shall
be adjusted as provided in this Article II, the Company shall forthwith file
with its Secretary and retain in the permanent records of the Company, an
officer's certificate showing the adjusted Exercise Price determined as provided
in this Article II, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such
adjustment, including a statement of the number of additional or fewer shares of
Common Stock, and such other facts as may be reasonably necessary to show the
reason for and the method of computing such adjustment. Each such officer's
certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by
the Holder.
Section 2.11 Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the number of
shares that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price,
the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state
the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares that may be issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price, setting forth in
reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such
calculation is based.
Section 2.12 Definition of "Common Stock". As used in this Article II,
the term "Common Stock" shall mean and include all of the Company's authorized
Common Stock of any class as constituted on the date of this Warrant as set
forth below, and shall also include any capital stock of any class of the
Company thereafter authorized that shall not be limited to a fixed sum or stated
value in respect of the rights of the holders thereof to participate in
dividends or the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
Section 2.13 Exclusion of Certain Stock. Notwithstanding anything in
this Article II, no adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of shares to
be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made upon, (i) the grant of
options under any stock option plan of the Company now existing or hereafter
adopted by the Company (as any such plan may be amended from time to time) or
(ii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of options granted
under any such plan.
ARTICLE III.
