THIS
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that,
for value received, ________ or its assigns (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 December 17, 2021 (the “Initial Exercise Date”)
and on or prior to the close of business at 5:00 p.m. (New York
City time) on November 19, 2023 (the “Termination Date) but not
thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Charge Enterprises,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to _______
shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, 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 December 17, 2021, 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 or PDF copy submitted by electronic (or e-mail
attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto
(“Notice of
Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading
Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard
Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following
the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the
aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable
Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn
on a United States bank unless the Cashless Exercise procedure
specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable
Notice of Exercise. No
ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any
medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of
any Notice of Exercise form be required. 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 two
(2) 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
within one (1) 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
$4.00, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise. If at any
time after the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, there is
no effective registration statement registering, or no current
prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the
Holder, then by delivering an Exercise Notice and in lieu of making
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price in cash or wire transfer,
the Holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise the
“Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined
according to the following formula (the “Cashless
Exercise”):
Net
Number = (A x B) –
(A x C)
B
For
purposes of the foregoing formula:
A = the
total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant
is then being exercised.
B = the
Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the date of exercise of
the Warrant.
C = the
Warrant Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant
Shares at the time of such exercise.
“Bid Price” 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 bid price of the Common Stock for the time in
question (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. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York
City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), or (b) in all
other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as
determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by
the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then
outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and
expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
d)
Mechanics of
Exercise.
i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon
Exercise. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the
Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be
transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the
account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance
account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or
Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is
then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an
effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the
Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or
(B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder
pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming Cashless Exercise of the Warrants),
and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in
the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its
designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is
entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the
Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earlier of
(i) the earlier of (A) three (3) Trading Days after the delivery to
the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (B) one (1) Trading Day
after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and
(ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement
Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise
(such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the
Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become
the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which
this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of
delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a Cashless
Exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) three (3) Trading
Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard
Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If
the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the
Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share
Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the 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 the first Business Day after the Warrant Share Delivery
Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds
such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that
is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant
remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein,
“Standard Settlement
Period” means the standard settlement period,
expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s
primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in
effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of
Exercise.
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 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.
iii. Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to
transmit to the Holder 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.
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to
Timely Deliver Warrant Shares 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 the Warrant
Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above
pursuant to an exercise on or before 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 (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 Xxxxxx’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 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, 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 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 Warrant Shares, all of which taxes
and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares
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
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. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees
required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all
fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for
same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
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 (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)),
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 and Attribution Parties 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 or Attribution Parties 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 or Attribution
Parties. 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 Attribution Parties) 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 the Holder
together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) 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.
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. 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 or
Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The
“Beneficial
Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% 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 Holder, upon 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 increase in the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such
notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this
paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise
than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 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 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) Intentionally
Omitted.
c) Subsequent Rights Offerings.
In addition to any adjustments
pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants,
issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase
stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the
record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the
“Purchase
Rights”), then the Holder
will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such
Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder
could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant
(without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including
without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the
grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such
record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares
of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale
of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the
Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right
would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in
such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such
shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such
extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in
abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right
thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation).
d) Pro
Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is
outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or
other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets)
to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital
or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of
cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a
dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement,
scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a
“Distribution”), at any
time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case,
the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to
the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if
the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of
which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such
record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares
of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such
Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the
Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result
in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then
the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such
Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any
shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such
extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in
abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as
its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
e) 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, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale,
lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance 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 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,
or (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 or group of Persons whereby such
other Person or group 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 (not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and
shall, at the option of the Holder, 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 (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. For the
avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section shall not apply
to the BW Acquisition and the EV Depot Acquisition.
f) Calculations. All calculations
under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a common 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.
g) 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 deliver to the Holder
by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price
after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of
Warrant Shares 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 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
delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile
number or email 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 deliver such notice or any
defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such
notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant
constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall
simultaneously publicly disseminate such notice. 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 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, 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. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to
physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder
has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days
of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company
assigning this Warrant full. 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.
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 either (i) registered pursuant to an
effective registration
statement under the
Securities Act and under
applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for
resale pursuant to Rule 144, 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
the Purchase Agreement.
e) Representation by the Holder.
The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that
it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will
acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own
account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling
such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the
Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except
pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities
Act.
Section
5.
Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until
Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any
voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the
Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section
2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
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 and/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 common 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 issuing the
necessary 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 other organizational
documents 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 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, interpretation,
jurisdiction and governing law concerning 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.
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 the 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 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.
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 the
Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall
give rise to any liability of the 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 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.
