(“Issuance Date”)
|
American Scientific Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx, his permissible transferees, designees, successors and assigns (collectively, “Holder”), for value received, is entitled to purchase from the Company at any time and from time to time commencing on the date first appearing above (the “Issuance Date”), up to and through 12:01a.m. (EST) on the date that is five (5) years from the Issuance Date (the “Termination Date”) up to _____________ shares (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”), at an exercise price per Share equal to $0.40 (the “Exercise Price”). The number of Shares purchasable hereunder and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof.
This Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) is being issued in connection with Xx. Xxxxx’x appointment as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company.
1. Method of Exercise; Payment.
(a) Cash Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by Holder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form (the “Notice of Exercise”) attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed) to the Company at its principal office, and by payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares being purchased, which amount may be paid by wire transfer or certified check payable to the order of the Company. The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s) representing Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the Shares represented thereby (and such Shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which this Warrant is exercised.
(b) Cashless Exercise.
(i) This Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which Holder shall be entitled to receive a stock certificate for the number of 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 may be adjusted pursuant to this Warrant; and
|
|
|
(X) =
|
the number of 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.
|
“VWAP” means, for any date, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Markets.
(c) Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, as promptly as practicable after the Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company (the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”), the Company at its expense shall deliver the physical certificate to the address specified by Holder in the Notice of Exercise. The 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. In the event this Warrant is exercised in part and requested by Xxxxxx, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor exercisable for the number of Shares for which this Warrant may then be exercised if requested by Xxxxxx. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Xxxxxx shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until Xxxxxx has purchased all of the Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, Xxxxxx shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) business 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 Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Shares purchased. Xxxxxx 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 Shares hereunder, the number of Xxxxxx available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
-2-
(d) Xxxxxx’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 1 hereof or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, Holder (together with Holder’s affiliates and any other individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization, government or any agency or political subdivision thereof (“Person”) or any other entity acting as a group together with Holder or any of Holder’s affiliates), 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 of the Company (the “Common Shares”) beneficially owned by Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by Holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 1(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by Holder that the Company is not representing to Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of Holder. Holder shall certify in all Notices of Exercise delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Holder and Holder's affiliates other than pursuant to this Warrant (excluding shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any securities of the Company beneficially owned by Holder and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein). In connection with any exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall be entitled to rely upon such certification by Holder. 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 1(d), in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange 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 Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of Xxxxxx, the Company shall within two business days confirm orally and in writing to Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. By written notice to the Company, Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(d) 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.
-3-
(e) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to Holder the Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
2. Warrant.
(a) Exchange, Transfer and Replacement. At any time prior to the exercise hereof, this Warrant may be exchanged upon presentation and surrender to the Company, alone or with other warrants of like tenor of different denominations registered in the name of the same Holder, for another warrant or warrants of like tenor in the name of such Holder exercisable for the aggregate number of Shares as the warrant or warrants surrendered.
(b) Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
(c) Cancellation; Payment of Expenses. Upon the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer, exchange or replacement as provided in this Section 2, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company. Holder shall pay all taxes and all other expenses (including legal expenses, if any, incurred by Holder or transferees) and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of Warrants pursuant to this Section 2.
-4-
(d) Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain, at its principal executive offices (or at the offices of the transfer agent for the Warrant or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant (the “Warrant Register”), in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee and each prior owner of this Warrant.
3. Rights and Obligations of Holders of this Warrant. Holder of this Warrant shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or in equity; provided, however, that in the event any certificate representing shares of Common Stock or other securities is issued to the holder hereof upon exercise of this Warrant, such holder shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Common Stock on the date on which this Warrant, together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise, was surrendered and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such Common Stock certificate.
4. Adjustments.
(a) Stock Dividends, Reclassifications, Recapitalizations, Etc. While this Warrant is outstanding, in the event the Company: (i) pays a dividend in Common Stock or makes a distribution in Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combines its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) increases or decreases the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding by reclassification of its Common Stock (including a recapitalization in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then (1) the Exercise Price on the record date of such division or distribution or the effective date of such action shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised immediately before such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Exercise Price immediately before such event and the denominator of which is the Exercise Price immediately after such event.
5. Fractional Shares. In lieu of issuance of a fractional share upon any exercise hereunder, the Company will issue an additional whole share in lieu of that fractional share, calculated on the basis of the Exercise Price.
6. Legends. Prior to issuance of the Shares, all such certificates representing such Shares shall bear a restrictive legend to the effect that the Shares represented by such certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that the Shares may not be sold or transferred in the absence of such registration or an exemption therefrom, such legend to be substantially in the form of the bold-face language appearing at the top of this Warrant.
-5-
7. Disposition of Warrants or Shares. Holder of this Warrant, each transferee hereof and any holder and transferee of any Shares, by his or its acceptance thereof, agrees that no public distribution of Warrants or Shares will be made in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act. Furthermore, it shall be a condition to the transfer of this Warrant that any transferee thereof deliver to the Company his or its written agreement to accept and be bound by all of the terms and conditions contained in this Warrant.
8. Except as otherwise specified herein to the contrary, all notices, requests, demands and other communications required or desired to be given hereunder shall only be effective if given in writing by certified or registered U.S. mail with return receipt requested and postage prepaid; by private overnight delivery service (e.g. Federal Express); by facsimile transmission (if no original documents or instruments must accompany the notice); or by personal delivery. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given (a) on the business day immediately following the mailing thereof, if mailed by certified or registered U.S. mail as specified above; (b) on the business day immediately following deposit with a private overnight delivery service if sent by said service; (c) upon receipt of confirmation of transmission if sent by facsimile transmission; or (d) upon personal delivery of the notice.
