________
Shares |
THIS
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (this “Warrant”)
certifies that, for value received, _____________ (the “Holder”), is
entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the
conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the six month
anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Initial
Exercise Date”) and on
or prior to the close of business on the fifth anniversary of the Initial
Exercise Date (the “Termination
Date”) but
not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from NovaDel Pharma Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to
______ shares (the “Warrant
Shares”) of
common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “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
May 26, 2005, among the Company and the purchasers signatory
thereto.
Section
2. Exercise.
(a) Exercise
of Warrant.
Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in
whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and
on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company 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); provided,
however, within
five (5) Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the
Company, the Holder shall have surrendered this Warrant to the Company and 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.
- 1
-
(b) Exercise
Price. The
exercise price of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $1.30, subject to
adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
(c) Cashless
Exercise. This
Warrant may also be exercised at any 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
Closing Price 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.
(d) Mechanics
of Exercise.
(i) Authorization
of Warrant Shares. 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 in
respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer
occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
(ii) Delivery
of Certificates Upon Exercise. At the
written request of the Holder, the Company shall cause certificates for Warrant
Shares purchased hereunder to 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 otherwise by physical
delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise,
within three Trading Days from the receipt by the Company of the Notice of
Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant 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, if such date is after the Notice of Exercise Form and
this Warrant are received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to
have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named
therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares
for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to
the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the
Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vii) prior to the issuance of such
shares, have been paid.
- 2
-
(iii) Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this
Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, within five
Trading Days after the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of the 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.
(iv) 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 this
Section 2(d)(iv) by the 2nd Trading
Day immediately following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will
have the right to rescind such exercise.
(v) 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 a proper and conforming exercise on
or before the 2nd Trading
Day immediately following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such
date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase in a bona fide arm’s
length transaction for fair market value (in an open market transaction or
otherwise) 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 equal to (A) the
number of Warrant Shares that the Company was otherwise required to deliver to
the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue, multiplied by (B) the price
per share at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was
executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder given within three Trading Days of
the failure to deliver, 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 a detailed written notice indicating the
amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable
confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. 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.
(vi) No
Fractional Shares or Scrip. No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall
be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share of
Common Stock which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such
exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final
fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise
Price.
- 3
-
(vii) 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 that certificates representing 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
completed and executed by the Holder; and the Company may require, as a
condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any
expenses incidental thereto. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax
liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or
receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise thereof.
(viii) Closing
of Books. Subject
to applicable law, 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.
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 make 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 pursuant to 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. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise
Price pursuant to this Section 3(a), the number of Warrant Shares which may be
purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased
proportionately, so that after such adjustment, the aggregate amount of the
adjusted Exercise Price multiplied by the aggregate adjusted amount of Warrant
Shares shall equal the aggregate amount of the unadjusted Exercise Price
multiplied by the aggregate unadjusted amount of Warrant Shares. Any adjustment
made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall (x) with respect to clause (A) of the
first sentence of this Section 3(a), become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution and (y) with respect to clauses (B) - (D) of the first
sentence of this Section 3(a), become effective immediately after the effective
date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
re-classification.
- 4
-
(b) Pro
Rata Distributions. If the
Company, at any time prior to the Termination Date, 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 Closing
Price determined as of the record date or effective date, as the case may be,
mentioned in Section 3(a), and of which the numerator shall be such Closing
Price on such date less the then per share fair market value at such date of the
portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to
one outstanding share of the Common Stock (determined by dividing the amount
distributed by the then issued and outstanding shares of 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 Holders 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.
(c) 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 (other than capital
stock of the Company), cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then,
upon any subsequent conversion 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,
upon 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 (“Alternate
Consideration”)
receivable upon, or as a result of, such Fundamental Transaction by a Holder
holding the number of Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant immediately prior
to the occurence of 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 connection with 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 such securities, cash or property that 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(c) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such
replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction
analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
- 5
-
(d) 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 at the close of the Trading Day
on or, if not applicable, most recently preceding, such given date.
(e) 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.
(f) Minimum
Adjustment.
Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, no adjustment in the
Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least $0.01 per share of Common Stock; provided,
however, that
any adjustments which by reason of this Subsection 3(f) are not required to be
made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment; provided,
further,
however, that adjustments shall be required and made in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3 (other than this Subsection 3(f)) not later than
such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a
distribution, if any, to the Holder of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 to the contrary, the Company shall be
entitled to make such reductions in the Exercise Price, in addition to those
required by this Section 3, as it in its discretion shall deem to be advisable
in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares or distribution of
rights to purchase stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for stock
hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not be
taxable.
(g) Notice
to Holders.
(i) Adjustment
to Exercise Price.
Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to 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: (A)
the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) 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 (defined below) of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x)
the record date established 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 record date established for 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. Subject to applicable law, the Holder is entitled to exercise
this Warrant during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice to
the effective date of the event triggering such notice. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the delivery of the notice described in this Section 3(h) is not
intended to and shall not bestow upon the Holder any voting rights whatsoever
with respect to outstanding unexercised Warrants.

Section
4. Transfer
of Warrant.
(a) Transferability. Subject
to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth
in Sections 6(a) and 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the
Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in
whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Company, 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 dated the same date as this
Warrant 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, if any, 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.
(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. The Company shall permit
any Holder of a Warrant or its duly authorized attorney, upon written request
during ordinary business hours, to inspect and copy or make extracts from its
books showing the registered Holders of Warrants.

-
(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 (i) that the transferor or transferee of
this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of
counsel satisfactory to the Company (which opinion shall be in form, substance
and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the
effect that such transfer may be made without
registration under
the
Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that
the transferor or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment
letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the
transferee be an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), or (a)(8)
promulgated under the Securities Act or a qualified institutional buyer as
defined in Rule 144A(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.
Section
5. Investment
Intent; Limited Transferability.
(a) By
accepting this Warrant, the Holder represents to the Company that it understands
that this Warrant has not been, and any securities obtainable upon exercise of
this Warrant may not have not been registered for sale under the Securities Act
or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and are being offered and sold to the
Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act and applicable State securities or “blue sky” laws. In the
absence of an effective registration of such securities or an exemption
therefrom, any certificates for such securities shall bear a legend
substantially similar to the legend set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The
Holder understands that it may have to bear the economic risk of its investment
in this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for
an indefinite period of time, until such securities have been registered under
the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and
therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, or an
exemption from such registration is available. The Holder further represents to
the Company, by accepting this Warrant, that it has full power and authority to
accept this Warrant and make the representations set forth herein.
(b) The
Holder agrees, by acceptance of this Warrant, that (i) this Warrant will not be
sold or otherwise transferred prior to the six-month anniversary of the date
hereof, and only pursuant to one or more exemptions from the Securities Act and
any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and (ii) the Warrant Shares
and any other shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder in connection with the
Warrant or the Warrant Shares will not be sold or otherwise transferred prior to
the six-month anniversary of the date hereof, and only pursuant to (A) an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities or “blue sky” laws which registers such shares or (B) one or
more exemptions from the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or
“blue sky” laws.
- 8
-
(c) The
Holder agrees and acknowledges that this
Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated by the Holder
except in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act and any
applicable State securities or “blue sky” laws.
Section
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Title
to Warrant. Prior
to the Termination Date and subject to compliance with applicable laws and
Section 4 of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the Company by the
Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant
together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto properly endorsed and the legal
opinion required under Section 4(d). The transferee shall sign an investment
letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company.
(b) 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. Upon the surrender of
this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or by means of a
cashless exercise), the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be
issued to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of
business on the later of the date of such surrender and payment.
(c) 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.
(d) 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 be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday,
then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next
succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.
(e) 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.
- 9
-
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.
(f) Jurisdiction. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the governing law
provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
(g) 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 and will contain a restrictive legend substantially
in the following form:
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND,
ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE
EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE
TRANSFEROR REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF
WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE
PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY
SUCH SECURITIES.
- 10
-
(h) Nonwaiver
and Expenses. No
course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the
part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise
prejudice the 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 the 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 the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant
hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies
hereunder.
(i) Notices. Unless
otherwise specifically set forth herein, 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.
(j) Limitation
of Liability. No
provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to

for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(l) 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.

Warrant may only be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.
(n) 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.
