COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Warrant Shares: _______
Initial Exercise Date: _______, 2010
THIS 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 the date hereof (the
“Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the five year
anniversary of _______, 2010 (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe
for and purchase from Fibrocell Science, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up
to _______shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of 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 March 2, 2010, 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 (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the
registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a
duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed
1
hereto; and, within three (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 or, if available, pursuant to the cashless exercise procedure specified in
Section 2(c) below. 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 three (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
Business 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 $0.98, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, 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
on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless
exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise; |
||
(B) | = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder;
and |
||
(X) | = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such
exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise. |
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, if permitted
under this Section, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise
pursuant to this Section 2(c).
d) Mechanics of Exercise.
2
i. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent 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 then a participant in such
system and either (A) there is an effective Registration Statement
permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant
Shares by the Holder or (B) the shares are eligible for resale by the
Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144,
and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder
in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after
the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise
Form, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required), and (C) payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by cashless
exercise, if permitted) (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the
first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to 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, with 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(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid. If the
Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder certificates
evidencing the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the
second (2nd) Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery
Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, for each $10,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such
exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the
applicable Notice of Exercise), $100 per Trading Day (increasing to $200
per Trading Day on the tenth Trading Day after such liquidated damages
begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such second (2nd)
Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates
are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.
ii. 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.
iii. Rescission Rights. If, the Company fails to cause the
Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the
seventh (7th) Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery
Date, then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
3
iv. 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 the Transfer Agent to
transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the
Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the second
(2nd) Trading Day after such 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) or the Holder’s brokerage firm
otherwise purchases, 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
(A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, 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 (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company
was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at
issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such
purchase obligation was executed, and (B) 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 (in which case such
exercise shall be deemed rescinded) 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 (A) 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 Holder’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 representing shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v. 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 the 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.
4
vi. 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.
vii. 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.
e) Xxxxxx’s Exercise Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not
acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant to the
extent that, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock then
beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or
entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the
Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by
any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned
by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have
limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation
set forth herein) would exceed 9.98% of the total number of shares of Common Stock
then issued and outstanding (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). For purposes
hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and
the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with
the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section
2(e), 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 (A) the
Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the
case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more
recent written notice by the Company or the 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
the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. 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(e) 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.
5
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes 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), (ii) subdivides
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including
by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) 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 such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain
unchanged. 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) Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as
applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to
purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or
announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at
an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the
“Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”)
(if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time,
whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion,
exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share
which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common
Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance
shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the
Dilutive Issuance), then, the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the
Base Share Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such
that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease
in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such
adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid
or issued under this
6
Section 3(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder, in
writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance
price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms
(such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification,
whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section
3(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance
the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price
regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of
Exercise.
c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time while the Warrant
is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and
not to the Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price per share less than the VWAP on the record date mentioned below, then, the Exercise
Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or
warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or
purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming
receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights,
options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable
hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after
taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such
rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options
or warrants.
d) Pro Rata Distributions. The Holder, as the holder of this Warrant, shall be
entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions of any kind made to the holders of
Common Stock of the Company to the same extent as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant
into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and
without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized and reserved
to effect any such exercise and issuance) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the
record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence
shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock.
e) 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.
f) Notice to Holder.
7
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 the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment
and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. If the
Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, despite the prohibition thereon in
the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at
which such securities may be converted or exercised.
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, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is
converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall
authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding 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. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or
contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission
pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to
exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the
effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be
expressly set forth herein.
4. Fundamental Transactions.
8
a) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
(i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company,
directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance
or other disposition of more than 50% of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer
(whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common
Stock, (iv) the liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding-up (or the
occurrence of any analogous proceeding) affecting the Company, (v) the shares of Common
Stock cease to be listed on any Trading Market, (vi) the Company, directly or indirectly, in
one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or
recapitalization 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, or (vii) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions
consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including,
without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement)
whereby (A) the holders of Common Stock immediately preceding such transaction either (y) no
longer hold a majority of the shares of Common Stock or (z) no longer have the ability to
elect a majority of the board of directors of the Company (B) any Person, together with its
Affiliates, comes to hold more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (each 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 (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the 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 as a result of such
Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to
any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such
exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be 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.
9
b) Assumption. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental
Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to
assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents pursuant to written agreements in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders (an
“Assumption”) and shall, at the option of the holder of this Warrant, deliver to the
Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a
written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is
exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity
(or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable
upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this
Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the
exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the
relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and
the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such
exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant
immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to a majority in interest of the Holders. Upon
the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to,
and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the
provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the
Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the
other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named
as the Company herein. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company enters into or is a party
to a Fundamental Transaction with a Successor Entity (including its parent entity) that is
not a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted or listed for trading on a
Trading Market, then the Company will not enter into an Assumption, but instead the Holder
shall have the Redemption right set forth in subsection (c) below.
c) Redemption. The Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall,
at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after,
the announcement of a Fundamental Transaction, redeem all or any portion of this Warrant
from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value
of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on or prior to the date of the
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction (a “Redemption” and such payment the
“Redemption Price”). “Black Scholes Value” has the meaning set forth in
Schedule 1 to this Warrant.
A Redemption required by this Section 4(c) shall have priority to payments to holders of
Common Stock in connection with a Fundamental Transaction. To the extent a Redemption
required by this Section 4(c) is deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be a prepayment of the Warrant by the Company, such prepayment shall be deemed to be
voluntary prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, until the
Redemption Price is paid in full, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the
Holder into shares of Common Stock, or in the event the exercise date is after the
consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, shares of publicly traded common stock (or
their equivalent) of the Successor Entity.
5. Transfer of Warrant.
10
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, as applicable, 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. The
Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, 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. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges
shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as
to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
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 Warrant Shares shall not be either (i)
registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii)
eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public
information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of
allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be,
comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
e) Removal of Restrictive Legend. This Warrant and the certificates evidencing
the Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof: (A) while
a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of such security is effective under the
Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of such Warrant and/or
11
Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Warrant and/or Warrant Shares are
eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (D) if such legend is not required under
applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and
pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) (collectively, the “Unrestricted
Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer
Agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Company’s transfer agent to
effect the issuance of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, as applicable, without a
restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If the Unrestricted Conditions are
met at the time of issuance of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, then such Warrant or
Warrant Shares, as applicable, shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that
following the Effective Date at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such
legend is otherwise no longer required under this paragraph, it will, no later than three
(3) Trading Days following the delivery (the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline”) by the
Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of this Warrant and a certificate representing
Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal
Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder this Warrant and/or a certificate
(or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and
other legends. For purposes of this paragraph, “Effective Date’ shall mean the date that
the Registration Statement that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the SEC.
f) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof,
represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof,
will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not
with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in
violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to
sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the
Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior
to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).
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.
12
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 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. 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 and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, 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).
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 (i)
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, (ii) 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 (iii) 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.
13
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 and the Holder does not utilize cashless
exercise, 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 Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that
all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and
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. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of
its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of
this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for
specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant
and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted
assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any
Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of
Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof
waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
14
m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of
reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
