COMMON
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
CASH
TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
| Warrant Shares: 759,000 | Initial Exercise Date: December 6, 2007 | |
| Issue Date: June 6, 2007 |
THIS
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”)
certifies that, for value received, Crescent International Ltd. (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 that is
the
six month anniversary of the date hereof (the “Initial
Exercise Date”)
and on
or prior to the close of business on the last day of the calendar month in
which
occurs the 5 year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination
Date”)
but
not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Cash Technologies, Inc.,
a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
up to
759,000 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
June 6, 2007, among the Company and the purchasers signatory
thereto.
Section
2. Exercise.
1
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 of a duly executed
facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto (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 such Holder appearing on the books of the
Company); and, within 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. 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
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 1 Business Day 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
$1.75,
subject
to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless
Exercise.
If at
any time after one year from the Closing there is no effective Registration
Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of
the
Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised 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 of such
election;
(B)
= the
Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
(X)
= the
number of Warrant 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.
2
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall
be
automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section
2(c).
d) Exercise
Limitations.
| i. |
Holder’s
Restrictions.
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,
such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any other person
or entity acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such
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 such 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 (A) exercise
of the
remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned
by such
Holder or any of its Affiliates and (B) 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 such Holder or
any of
its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for
purposes of this Section 2(d)(i), 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 such Holder that such calculation
is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and such
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(d)(i) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable
(in relation to other securities owned by such 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 deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this
Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by
such
Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this
Warrant
is exercisable, in each case subject the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the
accuracy
of such determination. 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(d)(i), 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 (x) the Company’s most
recent Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as the case may be, (y) a more
recent
public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the
Company
or the Company’s 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 such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding. 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
such
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 4.99% 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 Beneficial Ownership
Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d)(i) may be waived by such
Xxxxxx, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior
notice to the Company to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
to
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, and the provisions of this Section 2(d)(i)
shall
continue to apply. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such 9.99% limitation,
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived by
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(d)(i) 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.
|

| ii. |
Issuance
Restrictions.
If the Company has not obtained Shareholder Approval, then the Company
may
not issue upon exercise of this Warrant a number of shares of Common
Stock, which, when aggregated with any shares of Common Stock issued
(A)
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (B) pursuant to the conversion
of any
Debentures issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (C) upon
prior
exercise of this or any other Warrant issued pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, would exceed 4,591,203, subject to adjustment for reverse
and
forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other
similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date
of the
Purchase Agreement (such number of shares, the “Issuable
Maximum”).
The Holder and the holders of the other Warrants issued pursuant
to the
Purchase Agreement shall be entitled to a portion of the Issuable
Maximum
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) such Holder’s original
Subscription Amount by (y) the aggregate original Subscription Amount
of
all holders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. In addition, the
Holder
may allocate its pro-rata portion of the Issuable Maximum among Warrants
held by it in its sole discretion. Such portion shall be adjusted
upward
ratably in the event a Purchaser no longer holds any Warrants and
the
amount of shares issued to such Purchaser pursuant to its Warrants
was
less than such Purchaser’s pro-rata share of the Issuable
Maximum.

e) Mechanics
of Exercise.
i. Delivery
of Certificates Upon Exercise.
Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer
agent of the Company 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 a participant in such system and there is an effective
Registration Statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares by the
Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the
Holder in the Notice of Exercise within 3 Trading Days from the delivery to
the
Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant (if required)
and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (“Warrant
Share Delivery Date”).
This
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price
is
received by 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 by 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(e)(vi) prior to the issuance of
such shares, have 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 Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to such
Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000
of
Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock
on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day
(increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such
liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant
Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered.
5
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 its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a
certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section
2(e)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right
to rescind such exercise.
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 its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the second
Trading Day following the 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 (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount 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 (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required
to
deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was
executed, and (2) 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 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 (1) 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.
6
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 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.
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.
f) Call
Provision.
Subject
to the provisions of Section 2(d) and this Section 2(f), if, after the later
of
the Effective Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the Initial
Exercise Date, (i) the VWAP for each of 20 consecutive Trading Days (the
“Measurement
Period,”
which
20 consecutive Trading Day period shall not have commenced until after the
later
of the Effective Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the Initial
Exercise Date) exceeds 250% of the then Exercise Price, (ii) the average daily
trading volume during the Measurement Period exceeds 30,000 shares (subject
to
adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock
dividends and the like after the Initial Exercise Date) of Common Stock per
Trading Day and (iii) the Holder is not in possession of any information
provided by the Company that constitutes, or might constitute, material
non-public information, then the Company may, within 1 Trading Day of the end
of
such Measurement Period, call for cancellation of all or any portion of this
Warrant for which a Notice of Exercise has not yet been delivered (such right,
a
“Call”)
for
consideration equal to $0.001 per Share. To exercise this right, the Company
must deliver to the Holder an irrevocable written notice (a “Call
Notice”),
indicating therein the portion of unexercised portion of this Warrant to which
such notice applies. If the conditions set forth below for such Call are
satisfied from the period from the date of the Call Notice through and including
the Call Date (as defined below), then any portion of this Warrant subject
to
such Call Notice for which a Notice of Exercise shall not have been received
by
the Call Date will be cancelled at 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the
thirtieth (30th) Trading Day after the date the Call Notice is received by
the
Holder (such date and time, the “Call
Date”).
Any
unexercised portion of this Warrant to which the Call Notice does not pertain
will be unaffected by such Call Notice. In furtherance thereof, the Company
covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Exercise with respect
to
Warrant Shares subject to a Call Notice that are tendered through 6:30 p.m.
(New
York City time) on the Call Date. The parties agree that any Notice of Exercise
delivered following a Call Notice which calls less than all the Warrants shall
first reduce to zero the number of Warrant Shares subject to such Call Notice
prior to reducing the remaining Warrant Shares available for purchase under
this
Warrant. For example, if (x) this Warrant then permits the Holder to acquire
100
Warrant Shares, (y) a Call Notice pertains to 75 Warrant Shares, and (z) prior
to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date the Holder tenders a Notice
of Exercise in respect of 50 Warrant Shares, then (1) on the Call Date the
right
under this Warrant to acquire 25 Warrant Shares will be automatically cancelled,
(2) the Company, in the time and manner required under this Warrant, will have
issued and delivered to the Holder 50 Warrant Shares in respect of the exercises
following receipt of the Call Notice, and (3) the Holder may, until the
Termination Date, exercise this Warrant for 25 Warrant Shares (subject to
adjustment as herein provided and subject to subsequent Call Notices). Subject
again to the provisions of this Section 2(f), the Company may deliver subsequent
Call Notices for any portion of this Warrant for which the Holder shall not
have
delivered a Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Warrant, the Company may not deliver a Call Notice or require
the
cancellation of this Warrant (and any such Call Notice shall be void), unless,
from the beginning of the Measurement Period through the Call Date, (i) the
Company shall have honored in accordance with the terms of this Warrant all
Notices of Exercise delivered by 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call
Date, and (ii) the Registration Statement shall be effective as to all Warrant
Shares and the prospectus thereunder available for use by the Holder for the
resale of all such Warrant Shares, and (iii) the Common Stock shall be listed
or
quoted for trading on the Trading Market, and (iv) there is a sufficient number
of authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance of all Securities under the
Transaction Documents, and (v) the issuance of the shares shall not cause a
breach of any provision of 2(d) herein. The Company’s right to call the Warrants
under this Section 2(f) shall be exercised ratably among the Holders based
on
each Holder’s initial purchase of Warrants.
7
Section
3. Certain
Adjustments.
a) Stock
Dividends and Splits.
If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (A) 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),
(B)
subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares,
(C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) 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.
8
b) Subsequent
Option or Warrant Sales.
If the
Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding, shall offer, sell or grant any option or warrant to purchase
(or
announce any offer, sale or grant of any option or warrant to purchase) any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at an exercise price per share of
Common Stock that is less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the
“Base
Exercise Price”
and
each such offer, sale or grant, a “Dilutive
Issuance”)
(if
the holder of such option or warrant so offered, sold or granted shall at any
time, whether by operation of exercise price adjustments, reset provisions,
floating exercise, exchange prices or otherwise, or due to rights per share
which are issued in connection with such offer, sale or grant, be entitled
to
receive shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share which 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 then
Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Exercise
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, provided that, unless the Company
has
obtained Shareholder Approval, the then Exercise Price shall be reduced pursuant
to this Section 3(b) to an amount not lower than $0.98 (the “Adjustment
Floor”);
provided,
further,
that,
when the Company has obtained Shareholder Approval, the Adjustment Floor shall
terminate and have no further applicability. Such adjustment shall be made
on
the date of such Dilutive Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this 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 offer, sale or grant of any option or warrant
subject to this Section 3(b), indicating therein the applicable exercise price,
or applicable adjustment, reset or exchange 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 Exercise
Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Exercise
Price in the Notice of Exercise.
9
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 Holders)
entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price
per share less than the VWAP at 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 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 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. Such adjustment shall be made whenever
such rights 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.
If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to
all
holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its
indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which
shall be subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such case the Exercise Price
shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP
determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator
shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market
value
at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness
so
distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as
determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the
adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the
portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such
subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment
shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective
immediately after the record date mentioned above.
e) Fundamental
Transaction.
If, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger
or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company
effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series
of
related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities,
cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification 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
(each “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, 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 merger, consolidation or disposition of assets
by
a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such event. 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. To the extent necessary to effectuate
the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity
in
such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent
with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such
warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to
which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any
such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section
3(e) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will
be
similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental
Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a
Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3
transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not
traded on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market,
the
Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company or any successor
entity shall pay at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently
with or within 30 days after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction,
an
amount of cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance
with the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on
Bloomberg L.P. using (i) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the VWAP
of
the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of
consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (ii) a risk-free
interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to
the
remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of consummation of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction and (iii) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day
volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of
the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction.
10
f) 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.
11
g) Voluntary
Adjustment By Company.
The
Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current
Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate
by
the Board of Directors of the Company, provided that no such voluntary
adjustment shall reduce the Exercise Price to less than the Adjustment
Floor.
h) 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. If the Company enters into a Variable
Rate
Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), 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, of any compulsory share exchange
whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property;
(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. The Holder is 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.
12
Section
4. Transfer
of Warrant.
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
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.
A
Warrant, if properly assigned, 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 original Issue 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 transfer of this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant to an effective
registration
statement under the Securities Act
and
under
applicable state securities or blue sky laws, 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.
13
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
a) No
Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise.
This
Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as
a
shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section
2(e)(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.
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, 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).
14
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
(a) 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,
(b)
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 (c) 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.
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, 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.
15
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.
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 of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.
The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders
from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by any such 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.
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.
