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 February 24, 2010, by and between the Company and the Holder. This Warrant
is one of a series of warrants issued by the Company as of the date hereof
(individually, a “Warrant,” and collectively, the
“Company
Warrants”) pursuant to (i) Section 2 of the
Purchase Agreement and (ii) the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3
(File number 333-146392) (the “Registration
Statement”).
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
Exercisability 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 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
1
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. 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 $____,1 subject to adjustment hereunder
(the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless
Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no
effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained
therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder or
an exemption from registration is not available such that the Holder (unless the
Holder is at the time of exercise is an Affiliate of the Company) could not
immediately resell all Warrant Shares without any filing or limitation on
volume, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such
time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to
receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
|
|
(A)
= the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date 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.
|
“VWAP” means, for any
date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies:
(a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily
volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest
preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed
or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) (based on
a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City
time)), (b) if the OTC Bulletin Board is not a Trading Market, the volume
weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest
preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board, (c) if the Common Stock is not then
listed or quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the
Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink OTC
Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions
of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so
reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of
Common
2
Stock as
determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Company and
reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority in interest of the Securities
then outstanding, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the
Company.
In the
event the Registration Statement is effective at the time this Warrant is
exercised, there is no circumstance that would require the Company to net cash
settle this Warrant.
d) Mechanics of
Exercise.
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 covering the issuance of the Warrant Shares to
or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised
via cashless exercise, 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 properly
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.
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.
3
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 Warrant Share Delivery Date,
then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise as provided in the
Purchase Agreement.
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 Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such Warrant Share Delivery
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, pay a cash
4
adjustment
in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Exercise Price.
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
transfer 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 a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form
attached hereto (the “Assignment Form”)
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. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this
Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this
Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving
effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of
Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other
Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the 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 beneficially owned by the Holder and its
Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made,
but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable
upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or
conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of
the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock
Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the
limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of
this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not
representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules
required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent
that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by
the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of
a Notice of Exercise shall be
5
deemed to
be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in
relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates)
and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to
verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability
for exercises of the Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation. In addition, a determination as to any
group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(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 as established by
(A), (B), or (C) above, as applicable. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to
the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant,
by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 4.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not
less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the
issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the
Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to
apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the
61st day
after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only be effective with
respect to such Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be
construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with
the terms of this Section 2(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. The limitations contained
in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this
Warrant.
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
6
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) [RESERVED]
c) Rights Upon Distribution of
Assets. If at any time or from time to time the holders of
Common Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the
time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become
entitled to receive, without payment therefore:
(i) Common Stock or any shares of stock or other securities which are
at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire
any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution (other than a
dividend or distribution covered in Section 3(a) above);
(ii) any cash paid or payable
otherwise than as a cash dividend; or
(iii) Common Stock or
additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of
spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate
rearrangement (other than shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(a)
above), then and in each such case, the Holder hereof will, upon the exercise of
this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of
Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional
consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property
(including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (ii) and
(iii) above) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had
such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on
which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares
or all other additional stock and other securities and property.
d) Fundamental
Transaction. 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 (but
excluding a migratory merger effected solely for the purpose of changing the
jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company), (ii) the Company, directly or
indirectly, effects any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all
or substantially all 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
7
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 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, (v) 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) with
another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock
held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or
affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share
purchase agreement or other business combination) (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. 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 in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable
delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction 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
8
(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 the Holder. 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.
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.
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.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by
Xxxxxx. If during the term in which this Warrant may be exercised by the
Holder (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
9
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.
Section
4.
Transfer of
Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject
to compliance with applicable securities laws, 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 the
Assignment Form 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. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall this Warrant be subdivided
into units of less than 5,000 Warrant Shares and such new Warrants shall not be
further subdivided. 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 include reference to the initial issuance date set
forth on the first page of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant
except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant
thereto.
10
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) Understandings or
Arrangements. Such
Holder is acquiring this Warrant as principal for its own account and has no
direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to
distribute or regarding the distribution of such Warrant (this representation
and warranty not limiting such Holder’s right to sell the Warrant pursuant to
the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal
and state securities laws.) Such Holder is acquiring this Warrant hereunder in
the ordinary course of its business.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder
Until Exercise. Except as otherwise provided herein, this
Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, including, without
limitation, any right to consent to any corporate action (whether any
reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation,
merger, conveyance or otherwise) nor any right to receive notice of meetings,
nor does it entitle the Holder to any right to receive dividends or subscription
rights, or any 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, and upon surrender and cancellation of
such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of
any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not
be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized
Shares.
The
Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient 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
11
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 use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such
authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary
from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction
thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the
Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The
Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise,
will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities
laws.
12
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. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the
Purchase Agreement, 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 Holders holding Warrants at least equal to
67% of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of all then outstanding
Warrants.
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.
13
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.
