NUWAY MEDICAL, INC.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
August 29, 2003
WARRANT NO. AL-1
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx III, an individual
(the "HOLDER"), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from NUWAY MEDICAL,
INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Delaware (the
"COMPANY"), commencing at the time periods prescribed herein and ending at 5:00
p.m. pacific time on the fifth (5th) calendar anniversary of the date hereof,
three hundred thirty-three thousand, three hundred thirty three (333,333) shares
(the "SHARES") of common stock, par value, $0.00067, of the Company (the "COMMON
STOCK"). The exercise price for each Share subject to this Warrant (the "WARRANT
PRICE") is equal to $0.06. The number of Shares and the Warrant Price are
subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in SECTION 5 of this
Warrant, however the number of shares that are issued or potentially issued to
the Holder shall never be equal to or exceed 20% of the issued and outstanding
common shares as of the date of this agreement.
This Warrant is issued in connection with and as consideration for the
services provided by the Holder to the Company as set forth in the consulting
agreement dated the date hereof by and between the Company and the Holder.
1. METHOD OF EXERCISE; PAYMENT; ISSUANCE OF NEW WARRANT. The purchase
right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in
part, subject to the limitation set forth below, and from time to time, by (i)
the surrender of this Warrant (with a notice of exercise in the form attached
hereto as EXHIBIT A, duly executed) at the principal office of the Company and
(ii) the payment to the Company, by check or wire transfer of funds to an
account specified in writing by the Company, of an amount equal to the aggregate
Warrant Price (provided, however, this CLAUSE (II) shall not be applicable if
the Holder is making a cashless exercise pursuant to SECTION 2 of this Warrant).
The Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified
in the executed EXHIBIT A, shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable
time, not exceeding ten (10) business days, after this Warrant shall have been
so exercised. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at the office of the
Company, in proper form for exercise and, unless a cashless exercise is being
made in accordance with SECTION 2 of this Warrant, accompanied by the amount
equal to the aggregate Warrant Price, the Holder shall be deemed to be the
holder of record of the Shares issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that
the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that
certificates representing such Shares shall not then be actually delivered to
the Holder.
Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not
have the right, and the Company shall not have the obligation, to exercise all
or any portion of the Warrants if and to the extent that the issuance to the
Holder of shares of Common Stock upon such exercise of the Warrants would result
in the Holder being deemed the "beneficial owner" of 5% or more of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company within the meaning of Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules
promulgated thereunder.
If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall,
at the time of delivery of such Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the right to purchase the remaining Shares called for by this
Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this
Warrant, or, at the request of Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this
Warrant which shall then be returned to Holder.
2. EXERCISE. The Holder shall pay the Warrant Price to the Company for
each Warrant that it exercises, or in the alternative, may elect to pay the
Warrant Price by reducing the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant in accordance with the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)
-------------
A
Where: X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the number of Shares requested to be exercised
under this Warrant.
A = the Fair Market Value of one (1) Share of Common
Stock as of the date such Warrant is exercised.
B = the Warrant Price.
"Fair Market Value" of the Company's Common Stock means the average of the
closing bid prices of the Common Stock as published in Bloomberg for the ten
trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value.
3. STOCK FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES. All Shares that may be issued
upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance,
be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all preemptive rights, taxes,
liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to pay any transfer taxes with respect to the
issue of shares in any name other than that of the registered holder hereof.
During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the
purpose of the issue upon exercise of the purchase 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. The Company shall at all
times take all such action and obtain all such permits or orders as may be
necessary to enable the Company lawfully to issue such Common Stock as duly and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares upon exercise in full of
this Warrant.
4. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued
in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares
the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Fair Market
Value of such Shares.
- 2 -
5. ADJUSTMENT. This Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:
(a) ADJUSTMENT FOR STOCK SPLITS AND COMBINATIONS. If the Company
shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof effect a
subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Warrant Price then in effect
immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. If the
Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof combine the
outstanding Common Stock, the Warrant Price then in effect immediately before
the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this
subsection shall become effective at the close of business on the date the
subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(b) ADJUSTMENT FOR CERTAIN DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. In the event
the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall make or
issue a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common
Stock, then and in each such event the Warrant Price shall be decreased as of
the time of such issuance, by multiplying the Warrant Price by a fraction:
(x) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
time of such issuance; and
(y) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares
of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the time of such issuance plus the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.
(c) ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment of the
Warrant Price pursuant to either SECTION 5(A) or 5(B) of this Warrant, the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall
be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock, calculated to the nearest
one hundredth of a share, obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment upon the exercise of the
Warrant by the Warrant Price in effect prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product so obtained by the new Warrant Price.
(d) ADJUSTMENT FOR RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE AND SUBSTITUTION. If
the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant are changed into the
same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by
recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or
combination provided for in SECTION 5(A) above, a dividend or distribution
provided for in SECTION 5(B) above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation
or sale of assets, provided for in SECTION 5(E) below), then and in any such
event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant into
the kind and amount of stock and other securities receivable upon such
recapitalization, reclassification or other change, by holders of the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant might have been exercised
immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change.
- 3 -
(e) REORGANIZATION, MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS OR SALES OF ASSETS. If
at any time or from time to time there is a capital reorganization of the Common
Stock (other than a subdivision or combination provided for in SECTION 5(A)
above, a dividend or distribution provided for in SECTION 5(B) above, or a
reclassification or exchange of shares provided for in SECTION 5(D) above) or a
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, or a sale of
all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to any other
person or entity, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation
or sale, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled
to receive upon exercise of this Warrant the number of shares of stock or other
securities, money or property of the Company, or of the successor entity
resulting from such merger or consolidation or sale, to which a holder of Common
Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital
reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale. The Company shall not effect any
reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale unless prior to the consummation
thereof each entity or person (other than the Company) that may be required to
deliver any cash, securities or other property upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall assume, by written instrument delivered to the Holder, the obligation to
deliver to the Holder such cash, securities or other property as in accordance
with the foregoing provisions the Holder may be entitled to receive. The
foregoing provisions of this SECTION 5(E) shall similarly apply to successive
reorganizations, mergers, consolidations and sales.
(f) NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its
Articles 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 to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
Section and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder against dilution or
other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
will not issue any capital stock of any class which is preferred as to dividends
or as to the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company.
(g) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. Whenever this Warrant shall be adjusted
pursuant to this SECTION 5, the Company shall make a certificate signed by an
officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring
the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such
adjustment was calculated, and the new Warrant Price and the type or the number
of Shares purchasable after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause
copies of such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid)
to the Holder.
6. THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO MAKE PAYMENTS.
(a) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. In the event the Company at any
time or from time to time after the date hereof shall make or issue a dividend
or other distribution, whether payable in cash, securities or other property of
the Company, with respect to any of its capital stock for which an adjustment is
not made pursuant to SECTION 5 of this Warrant, then and in each such event, the
Company shall concurrently make a cash payment to the Holder equal to the
product of (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the amount of cash plus the
fair value of any property or securities distributed by (y) the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding on the record date for such dividend or distribution
and (ii) the number of Shares on such record date.
(b) REDEMPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK. In the event the Company at any
time or from time to time after the date hereof shall repurchase or redeem any
of its capital stock or any rights, including without limitation, options,
warrants or other convertible or exchangeable securities, to acquire such
capital stock, then and in each such event, the Company shall concurrently make
a cash payment to the Holder equal to the product of (i) the quotient obtained
by dividing (x) the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate fair value of any
property paid out by the Company in connection with any such repurchase or
redemption by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully
diluted basis immediately after such repurchase or redemption and (2) the number
of Shares.
7. NOTICE OF RECORD DATE. In the event:
(1) that the Company declares a dividend (or any other
distribution) on any of its capital stock (including without
limitation, its Common Stock);
- 4 -
(2) that the Company repurchases or redeems any of its capital
stock (including without limitation, its Common Stock) or any
rights to acquire such capital stock;
(3) that the Company subdivides or combines its outstanding shares
of Common Stock;
(4) of any reclassification of the Common Stock, or of any
consolidation, merger or share exchange of the Company into or
with another entity, or of the sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company;
(5) of the involuntary or voluntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company; or
(6) of any offer of its Common Stock or any rights to acquire such
Common Stock for consideration paid per share of Common Stock
less than the Warrant Price then in effect.
then the Company shall notify the Holder at least 30 days prior to the date
specified in (A), (B) or (C) below, in writing stating:
(A) the record date of such dividend, distribution, repurchase,
redemption, subdivision or combination, or, if a record is not to be
taken, the date as to which the holders of Common Stock of record to be
entitled to such dividend, distribution, repurchase, redemption,
subdivision or combination are to be determined;
(B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
share exchange, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected
to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders
of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of
Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution or winding up;
or
(C) the date on which such offering of its Common Stock or any
rights to acquire such Common Stock for consideration paid per share of
Common Stock less than the Warrant Price is expected to become
consummated.
