FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, the undersigned, BPO Management Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(together with its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), hereby certifies that
_______________________________ or its registered assigns is entitled to
subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to
____________________________________ (_____________) shares (subject to
adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price
per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the
provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 9
hereof.
1. Term. The
term of this Warrant shall commence on June 13, 2007 and shall expire at 6:00
p.m., eastern time, on June 13, 2010 (such period being the
"Term").
2. Method of Exercise; Payment;
Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Time of
Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised in whole or in part during the Term.
1
(b) Method of
Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in
whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form
attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the
payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the
Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of
shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised, payable at such Holder's election (i) by certified or official bank
check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by
"cashless exercise" in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this
Section 2, but only when a registration statement under the Securities Act
providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is not then in effect, or (iii) by
a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this
Warrant.
(c) Cashless
Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
contrary and commencing one and a half (1.5) years following the Original Issue
Date if (i) the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater
than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below) and (ii)
a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of
the Warrant Stock is not then in effect by the date such registration statement
is required to be effective pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) or not effective at any time during the
Effectiveness Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in
accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, unless the
registration statement is not effective as a result of the Issuer exercising its
rights under Section 3(n) of the Registration Rights Agreement, in lieu of
exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant
by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock
equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of
Exercise in which event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares
of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X = Y -
(A)(Y)
B
|
Where
|
X
=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder.
|
Y
= |
the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the
Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the
portion of the Warrant being exercised.
|
||
A
=
|
the
Warrant Price.
|
||
B
=
|
the
Per Share Market Value of one share of Common
Stock.
|
(d) Issuance of Stock
Certificates. In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for
the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such
exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not
exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise (the “Delivery Date”) or,
at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the
Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect),
issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the
Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”)
2
within a
reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise, and
the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the
shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such
exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer
or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to
the DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a
sale and the Issuer and its transfer agent are participating in DTC through the
DWAC system. The Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an
indemnification undertaking with respect to such Warrant in the case of its
loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this Warrant is fully
exercised. With respect to partial exercises of this Warrant, the
Issuer shall keep written records of the number of shares of Warrant Stock
exercised as of each date of exercise.
(e) Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Stock pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery
Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase
(in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver
in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Stock which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Issuer 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
shares of Warrant Stock that the Issuer 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 shares of Warrant Stock 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 Issuer 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 Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer 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
Issuer. 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 Issuer’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the
terms hereof.
(f) Transferability of
Warrant. Subject to Section 2(h) hereof, this Warrant may be
transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, without the consent of the
Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may
be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by
duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office
of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the
form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other
governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is
exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants to purchase the
same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent
the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder
hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. 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 shares of
Warrant Stock issuable pursuant thereto.
3
(g) Continuing Rights of
Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after
each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,
acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to
afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant,
provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the
failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such
rights to such Holder.
(h) Compliance with Securities
Laws.
(i) The
Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and
the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired
solely for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other party,
and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise
dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon
exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an
exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws.
(ii) Except as
provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates
representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be
stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
THIS
WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
(iii) The
Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the
Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to
making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice
to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such
proposed transfer will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has
received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the
effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not
required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration
statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been
filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become
effective under the Securities Act and the Holder has represented that the
Warrant Stock has been or will be sold, (iii) the
4
Issuer
has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such
registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities
laws are not required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable
assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that registration or
qualification under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not
required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with
applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid
exemption exists with respect thereto. The Issuer will respond to any
such notice from a holder within five (5) Trading Days. In the case
of any proposed transfer under this Section 2(h), the Issuer will use reasonable
efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws,
but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state
where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to
tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then
subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state
for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the
Issuer. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 2(h)
shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions
on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant. Whenever
a certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required to be issued to a the
Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates
representing the Warrant Stock, the Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts
to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Stock to the
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through
its DWAC system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this
Warrant or the Purchase Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing to
the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue
and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if such exercise
is in connection with a sale and the Issuer and its transfer agent are
participating in DTC through the DWAC system.
(i) Accredited Investor
Status. In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in
whole or in part unless the Holder is then an “accredited investor” as defined
in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
3. Stock Fully Paid;
Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Stock Fully
Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees
that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of
this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through the
Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the
period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times
have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this
Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least one hundred twenty
percent (120%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Reservation. If
any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of
this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or
qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law
before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best
efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be
duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of
Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list
thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of
Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as
otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Stock has been
registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act then in
effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange
rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable
hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so
listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or
market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder
of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant
if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such
securities exchange or market by the Issuer.
5
(c) Loss, Theft, Destruction of
Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer
of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of
indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will
make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant,
a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same
number of shares of Common Stock.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price
and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise. The Warrant Price
and the Warrant Share Number shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice
of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this
Section 4 in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section
5.
(a) Recapitalization,
Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or
Sale.
(i) In case
the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a
"Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person and
the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such
consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or
merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person
but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the
Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or
cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its
properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization
or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such
Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made to the Warrant Price and the
number of shares of Warrant Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this
Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof
at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this
Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the
Warrant Price as adjusted to take into account the consummation of such
Triggering Event, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of
this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, to which such
Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event
if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately
prior thereto. Immediately upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event,
the Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing of such Triggering Event and
provide
the calculations in determining the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable
upon exercise of the new warrant and the adjusted Warrant Price. Upon
the Holder’s request, the continuing or surviving corporation as a result of
such Triggering Event shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor
evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted number of shares of Warrant Stock
and the adjusted Warrant Price pursuant to the terms and provisions of this
Section 4(a)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this
Section 4(a)(i) shall only apply if the surviving entity pursuant to any such
Triggering Event is a company that has a class of equity securities registered
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common
stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated
quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board. In the event that the
surviving entity pursuant to any such Triggering Event is not a public company
that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
or its common stock is not listed or quoted on a national securities exchange,
national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, then the Holder
shall have the right to demand that the Issuer pay to the Holder an amount in
cash equal to the value of this Warrant as of the date of the Triggering Event
calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes formula.
6
(ii) In the
event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this Warrant prior to the
consummation of a Triggering Event, so long as the surviving entity pursuant to
any Triggering Event is a company that has a class of equity securities
registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its
common stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national
automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, the surviving entity
and/or each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any
Securities upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by
written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of
this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the
Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption
shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing
obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver
to such Holder such Securities as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions
of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and the
surviving entity and/or each such Person shall have similarly delivered to such
Holder an opinion of counsel for the surviving entity and/or each such Person,
which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, or in the
alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief
Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant Amended Warrant shall
thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including,
without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be
applicable to the Securities which the surviving entity and/or each such Person
may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of
any rights pursuant hereto.
(b) Subdivisions and
Combinations. If at any time the Issuer shall:
(i) subdivide
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common
Stock, or
(ii) combine
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock, then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted
to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to
receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in
effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after
such adjustment.
(c) Other Provisions applicable
to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions
shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in
effect provided for in this Section 4:
(i) When Adjustments to Be
Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made
whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall
occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be
postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the
Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of
exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not
previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of the shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the
making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of
less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be
carried forward and made(x) as soon as such adjustment, together with other
adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in
a minimum adjustment or (y) on the date of exercise. For the purpose
of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the
close of business on the date of its occurrence.
7
(ii) Fractional
Interests. In computing ad-justments under this Section 4,
fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the near-est
one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share.
(d) Form of Warrant after
Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be changed
because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of
Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
5. Notice of
Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share
Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial
Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable
detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the
method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the
basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant
Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall
cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant
promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and
the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such
certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to a
national or regional accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the
Holder, provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of
notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in
which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have
no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this
Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a
written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty
(30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall
be final and binding on the parties hereto. The costs and expenses of
the initial accounting firm shall be paid equally by the Issuer and the Holder
and, in the case of an objection by the Issuer, the costs and expenses of the
subsequent accounting firm shall be paid in full by the Issuer.
6. Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued
in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares,
the Issuer shall round the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the
nearest whole number of shares.
7. Ownership Cap and Exercise
Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Warrant, at no time may a Holder of this Warrant exercise this
Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such
exercise would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock
owned by such Holder and its affiliates at such time, the number of shares of
Common Stock which would result in such Holder and its affiliates beneficially
owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and

RECEIVED, the undersigned, BPO Management Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(together with its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), hereby certifies that
_______________________________ or its registered assigns is entitled to
subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to
____________________________________ (_____________) shares (subject to
adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price
per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the
provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 9
hereof.
1. Term. The
term of this Warrant shall commence on June 13, 2007 and shall expire at 6:00
p.m., eastern time, on June 13, 2012 (such period being the
"Term").
2. Method of Exercise; Payment;
Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Time of
Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised in whole or in part during the Term.
1
(b) Method of
Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in
whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form
attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the
payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the
Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of
shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised, payable at such Holder's election (i) by certified or official bank
check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by
"cashless exercise" in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this
Section 2, but only when a registration statement under the Securities Act
providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is not then in effect, or (iii) by
a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this
Warrant.
(c) Cashless
Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
contrary and commencing one and a half (1.5) years following the Original Issue
Date if (i) the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater
than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below) and (ii)
a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of
the Warrant Stock is not then in effect by the date such registration statement
is required to be effective pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) or not effective at any time during the
Effectiveness Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in
accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, unless the
registration statement is not effective as a result of the Issuer exercising its
rights under Section 3(n) of the Registration Rights Agreement, in lieu of
exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant
by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock
equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of
Exercise in which event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares
of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X = Y -
(A)(Y)
B
|
Where
|
X
=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder.
|
|
Y
=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the
Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the
portion of the Warrant being
exercised.
|
|
A
=
|
the
Warrant Price.
|
|
B
=
|
the
Per Share Market Value of one share of Common
Stock.
|
(d) Issuance of Stock
Certificates. In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for
the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such
exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not
exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise (the “Delivery Date”) or,
at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the
Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect),
issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the
Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System
(“DWAC”)
2
within a
reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise, and
the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the
shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such
exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer
or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to
the DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a
sale and the Issuer and its transfer agent are participating in DTC through the
DWAC system. The Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an
indemnification undertaking with respect to such Warrant in the case of its
loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this Warrant is fully
exercised. With respect to partial exercises of this Warrant, the
Issuer shall keep written records of the number of shares of Warrant Stock
exercised as of each date of exercise.
(e) Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Stock pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery
Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase
(in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver
in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Stock which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Issuer 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
shares of Warrant Stock that the Issuer 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 shares of Warrant Stock 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 Issuer 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 Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer 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
Issuer. 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 Issuer’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the
terms hereof.
(f) Transferability of
Warrant. Subject to Section 2(h) hereof, this Warrant may be
transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, without the consent of the
Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may
be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by
duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office
of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the
form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other
governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is
exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants to purchase the
same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent
the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder
hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. 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 shares of
Warrant Stock issuable pursuant thereto.
3
(g) Continuing Rights of
Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after
each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,
acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to
afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant,
provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the
failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such
rights to such Holder.
(h) Compliance with Securities
Laws.
(i) The
Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and
the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired
solely for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other party,
and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise
dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon
exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an
exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws.
(ii) Except as
provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates
representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be
stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
THIS
WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
(iii) The
Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the
Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to
making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice
to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such
proposed transfer will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has
received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the
effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not
required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration
statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been
filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become
effective under the Securities Act and the Holder has represented that the
Warrant Stock has been or will be sold, (iii) the
4
Issuer
has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such
registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities
laws are not required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable
assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that registration or
qualification under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not
required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with
applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid
exemption exists with respect thereto. The Issuer will respond to any
such notice from a holder within five (5) Trading Days. In the case
of any proposed transfer under this Section 2(h), the Issuer will use reasonable
efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws,
but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state
where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to
tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then
subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state
for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the
Issuer. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 2(h)
shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions
on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant. Whenever
a certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required to be issued to a the
Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates
representing the Warrant Stock, the Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts
to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Stock to the
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through
its DWAC system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this
Warrant or the Purchase Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing to
the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue
and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if such exercise
is in connection with a sale and the Issuer and its transfer agent are
participating in DTC through the DWAC system.
(i) Accredited Investor
Status. In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in
whole or in part unless the Holder is then an “accredited investor” as defined
in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
3. Stock Fully Paid;
Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Stock Fully
Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees
that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of
this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through the
Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the
period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times
have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this
Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least one hundred twenty
percent (120%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Reservation. If
any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of
this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or
qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law
before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best
efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be
duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of
Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list
thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of
Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as
otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Stock has been
registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act then in
effect), and, to the extent
5
permissible
under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant
Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common
Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each
securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other
securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon
the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class
shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the
Issuer.
(c) Loss, Theft, Destruction of
Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer
of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of
indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will
make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant,
a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same
number of shares of Common Stock.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price
and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise. The Warrant Price
and the Warrant Share Number shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice
of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this
Section 4 in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section
5.
(a) Recapitalization,
Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or
Sale.
(i) In case
the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a
"Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person and
the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such
consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or
merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person
but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the
Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or
cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its
properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization
or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such
Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made to the Warrant Price and the
number of shares of Warrant Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this
Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof
at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this
Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the
Warrant Price as adjusted to take into account the consummation of such
Triggering Event, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of
this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, to which such
Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event
if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately
prior thereto. Immediately upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event,
the Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing of such Triggering Event and
6
provide
the calculations in determining the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable
upon exercise of the new warrant and the adjusted Warrant Price. Upon
the Holder’s request, the continuing or surviving corporation as a result of
such Triggering Event shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor
evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted number of shares of Warrant Stock
and the adjusted Warrant Price pursuant to the terms and provisions of this
Section 4(a)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this
Section 4(a)(i) shall only apply if the surviving entity pursuant to any such
Triggering Event is a company that has a class of equity securities registered
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common
stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated
quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board. In the event that the
surviving entity pursuant to any such Triggering Event is not a public company
that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
or its common stock is not listed or quoted on a national securities exchange,
national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, then the Holder
shall have the right to demand that the Issuer pay to the Holder an amount in
cash equal to the value of this Warrant as of the date of the Triggering Event
calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes formula.
(ii) In the
event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this Warrant prior to the
consummation of a Triggering Event, so long as the surviving entity pursuant to
any Triggering Event is a company that has a class of equity securities
registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its
common stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national
automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, the surviving entity
and/or each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any
Securities, upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume,
by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder
of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if
the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such
assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any
continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation
to deliver to such Holder such Securities as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and
the surviving entity and/or each such Person shall have similarly delivered to
such Holder an opinion of counsel for the surviving entity and/or each such
Person, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, or in the
alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief
Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter
continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without
limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to
the Securities, which the surviving entity and/or each such Person may be
required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any
rights pursuant hereto.
(b) Subdivisions and
Combinations. If at any time the Issuer shall:
(i) subdivide
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common
Stock, or
(ii) combine
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock, then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted
to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder
7
of the
same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to
receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in
effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after
such adjustment.
(c) Other Provisions applicable
to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions
shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in
effect provided for in this Section 4:
(i) When Adjustments to Be
Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made
whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall
occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be
postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the
Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of
exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not
previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of the shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the
making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of
less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be
carried forward and made(x) as soon as such adjustment, together with other
adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in
a minimum adjustment or (y) on the date of exercise. For the purpose
of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the
close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(ii) Fractional
Interests. In computing ad-justments under this Section 4,
fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the near-est
one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share.
(d) Form of Warrant after
Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be changed
because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of
Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
5. Notice of
Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share
Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial
Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable
detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the
method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the
basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant
Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall
cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant
promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and
the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such
certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to a
national or regional accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the
Holder, provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of
notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in
which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have
no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this
Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a
written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty
(30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall
be final and binding on the parties hereto. The costs and expenses of
the initial accounting firm shall be paid equally by the Issuer and the Holder
and, in the case of an objection by the Issuer, the costs and expenses of the
subsequent accounting firm shall be paid in full by the Issuer.
8
6. Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued
in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares,
the Issuer shall round the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the
nearest whole number of shares.
7. Ownership Cap and Exercise
Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Warrant, at no time may a Holder of this Warrant exercise this
Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such
exercise would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock
owned by such Holder and its affiliates and its affiliates at such time, the
number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such Holder and its
affiliates beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that upon a
holder of this Warrant providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice
(pursuant to Section 13 hereof) (the "Waiver Notice") that such Holder would
like to waive this Section 7 with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 7 will be of no force or
effect with regard to all or a portion of the Warrant referenced in the Waiver
Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be of no further force or
effect during the sixty-one (61) days immediately preceding the expiration of
the term of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these
exercise restrictions shall not be applicable to Renaissance Capital Group,
Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, "Xxxx"), if Xxxx so notifies

inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the
Issuer, the Holder hereof and (to the extent provided herein) the Holders of
Warrant Stock issued pursuant hereto, and shall be enforceable by any such
Holder or Holder of Warrant Stock.
16. Modification and
Severability. If, in any action before any court or agency

FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, the undersigned, BPO Management Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(together with its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), hereby certifies that
_______________________________ or its registered assigns is entitled to
subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to
____________________________________ (_____________) shares (subject to
adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price
per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the
provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 9
hereof.
1. Term. The
term of this Warrant shall commence on June 13, 2007 and shall expire at 6:00
p.m., eastern time, on June 13, 2010 (such period being the
"Term").
2. Method of Exercise; Payment;
Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Time of
Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised in whole or in part during the Term for such number of shares of
Common Stock equal to fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of preferred stock of the Issuer
that have been exercised by the Holder pursuant to the Series J Warrant granted
by the Issuer to the Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
1
(b) Method of
Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in
whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form
attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the
payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the
Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of
shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised, payable at such Holder's election (i) by certified or official bank
check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by
"cashless exercise" in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this
Section 2, but only when a registration statement under the Securities Act
providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is not then in effect, or (iii) by
a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this
Warrant.
(c) Cashless
Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
contrary and commencing one and a half (1.5) years following the Original Issue
Date if (i) the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater
than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below) and (ii)
a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of
the Warrant Stock is not then in effect by the date such registration statement
is required to be effective pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) or not effective at any time during the
Effectiveness Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in
accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, unless the
registration statement is not effective as a result of the Issuer exercising its
rights under Section 3(n) of the Registration Rights Agreement, in lieu of
exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant
by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock
equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of
Exercise in which event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares
of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X = Y -
(A)(Y)
B
|
Where
|
X
=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder.
|
Y
= |
the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the
Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the
portion of the Warrant being exercised.
|
||
A
=
|
the
Warrant Price.
|
||
B
=
|
the
Per Share Market Value of one share of Common
Stock.
|
(d) Issuance of Stock
Certificates. In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for
the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such
exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not
exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise (the “Delivery Date”) or,
at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the
Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect),
issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the
Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”)
within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such
exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the
holder of the shares of Warrant
2
Stock so
purchased as of the date of such exercise. Notwithstanding the
foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be
obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s behalf via
DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a sale and the Issuer and its
transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system. The
Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an indemnification undertaking
with respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, at
such time that this Warrant is fully exercised. With respect to
partial exercises of this Warrant, the Issuer shall keep written records of the
number of shares of Warrant Stock exercised as of each date of
exercise.
(e) Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Stock pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery
Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase
(in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver
in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Stock which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Issuer 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
shares of Warrant Stock that the Issuer 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 shares of Warrant Stock 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 Issuer 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 Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer 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
Issuer. 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 Issuer’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the
terms hereof.
(f) Transferability of
Warrant. Subject to Section 2(h) hereof, this Warrant may be
transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, without the consent of the
Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may
be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by
duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office
of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the
form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other
governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is
exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants to purchase the
same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent
the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder
hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. 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 shares of
Warrant Stock issuable pursuant thereto.
3
(g) Continuing Rights of
Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after
each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,
acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to
afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant,
provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the
failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such
rights to such Holder.
(h) Compliance with Securities
Laws.
(i) The
Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and
the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired
solely for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other party,
and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise
dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon
exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an
exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws.
(ii) Except as
provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates
representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be
stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
THIS
WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
(iii) The
Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the
Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to
making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice
to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such
proposed transfer will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has
received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the
effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not
required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration
statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been
filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become
effective under the Securities Act and the Holder has represented that the
Warrant Stock has been or will be sold, (iii) the Issuer has received other
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and
qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not
required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable assurances that
such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b)
either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Issuer, to the effect that registration or qualification under the
securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not required in connection with
such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities
or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect
thereto. The Issuer will
4
respond
to any such notice from a holder within five (5) Trading Days. In the
case of any proposed transfer under this Section 2(h), the Issuer will use
reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue
sky" laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in
any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would
subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is
not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of
any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the
Issuer. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 2(h)
shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions
on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant. Whenever
a certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required to be issued to a the
Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates
representing the Warrant Stock, the Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts
to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Stock to the
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through
its DWAC system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this
Warrant or the Purchase Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing to
the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue
and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if such exercise
is in connection with a sale and the Issuer and its transfer agent are
participating in DTC through the DWAC system.
(i) Accredited Investor
Status. In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in
whole or in part unless the Holder is then an “accredited investor” as defined
in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
3. Stock Fully Paid;
Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Stock Fully
Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees
that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of
this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through the
Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the
period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times
have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this
Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least one hundred twenty
percent (120%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Reservation. If
any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of
this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or
qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law
before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best
efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be
duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of
Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list
thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of
Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as
otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Stock has been
registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act then in
effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange
rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable
hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so
listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or
market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder
of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant
if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such
securities exchange or market by the Issuer.
5
(c) Covenants. The
Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the
Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer, or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities or any other 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 the Holder
hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed
the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the
Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would
adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such
action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and
clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as
provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its best
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably
necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.
(d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of
Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer
of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of
indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will
make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant,
a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same
number of shares of Common Stock.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price
and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise. The Warrant Price
and the Warrant Share Number shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice
of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this
Section 4 in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section
5.
(a) Recapitalization,
Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or
Sale.
(i) In case
the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a
"Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person and
the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such
consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or
merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person
but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the
Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or
cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its
properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization
or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such
Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made to the Warrant Price and the
number of shares of Warrant Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this
Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof
at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this
Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the
Warrant Price as adjusted to take into account the consummation of such
Triggering Event, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of
this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities to which such Holder
would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such
Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior
thereto. Immediately upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the
Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing of such Triggering Event and
6
provide
the calculations in determining the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable
upon exercise of the new warrant and the adjusted Warrant Price. Upon
the Holder’s request, the continuing or surviving corporation as a result of
such Triggering Event shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor
evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted number of shares of Warrant Stock
and the adjusted Warrant Price pursuant to the terms and provisions of this
Section 4(a)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this
Section 4(a)(i) shall only apply if the surviving entity pursuant to any such
Triggering Event is a company that has a class of equity securities registered
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common
stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated
quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board. In the event that the
surviving entity pursuant to any such Triggering Event is not a public company
that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
or its common stock is not listed or quoted on a national securities exchange,
national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, then the Holder
shall have the right to demand that the Issuer pay to the Holder an amount in
cash equal to the value of this Warrant as of the date of the Triggering Event
calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes formula.
(ii) In the
event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this Warrant prior to the
consummation of a Triggering Event, so long as the surviving entity pursuant to
any Triggering Event is a company that has a class of equity securities
registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its
common stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national
automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, the surviving entity
and/or each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any
Securities upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by
written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of
this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the
Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption
shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing
obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver
to such Holder such Securities as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions
of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and the
surviving entity and/or each such Person shall have similarly delivered to such
Holder an opinion of counsel for the surviving entity and/or each such Person,
which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, or in the
alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief
Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter
continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without
limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to
the Securities which the surviving entity and/or each such Person may be
required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any
rights pursuant hereto.
(b) Subdivisions and
Combinations. If at any time the Issuer shall:
(i) subdivide
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common
Stock, or
(ii) combine
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock, then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted
to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to
receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in
effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after
such adjustment.
(c) Other Provisions applicable
to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions
shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in
effect provided for in this Section 4:
7
(i) When Adjustments to Be
Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made
whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall
occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be
postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the
Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of
exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not
previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of the shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the
making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of
less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be
carried forward and made(x) as soon as such adjustment, together with other
adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in
a minimum adjustment or (y) on the date of exercise. For the purpose
of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the
close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(ii) Fractional
Interests. In computing ad-justments under this Section 4,
fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the near-est
one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share.
(d) Form of Warrant after
Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be changed
because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of
Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
5. Notice of
Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share
Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial
Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable
detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the
method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the
basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant
Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall
cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant
promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and
the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such
certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to a
national or regional accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the
Holder, provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of
notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in
which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have
no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this
Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a
written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty
(30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall
be final and binding on the parties hereto. The costs and expenses of
the initial accounting firm shall be paid equally by the Issuer and the Holder
and, in the case of an objection by the Issuer, the costs and expenses of the
subsequent accounting firm shall be paid in full by the Issuer.
6. Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued
in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares,
the Issuer shall round the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the
nearest whole number of shares.
8
7. Ownership Cap and Exercise
Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Warrant, at no time may a Holder of this Warrant exercise this
Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such
exercise would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock
owned by such Holder and its affiliates at such time, the number of shares of
Common Stock which would result in such Holder and its affiliates beneficially
owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that upon a holder of this Warrant
providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 13
hereof) (the "Waiver Notice") that such Holder would like to waive this Section
7 with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant, this Section 7 will be of no force or effect with regard to all or
a portion of the Warrant referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further,
that this provision shall be of no further force or effect during the sixty-one
(61) days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this
Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these exercise restrictions

hereof.

granted by the Issuer to the Holder pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement.
1
(b) Method of
Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in
whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form
attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the
payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the
Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of
shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised, payable at such Holder's election (i) by certified or official bank
check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by
"cashless exercise" in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this
Section 2, but only when a registration statement under the Securities Act
providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is not then in effect, or (iii) by
a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this
Warrant.
(c) Cashless
Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
contrary and commencing one and a half (1.5) years following the Original Issue
Date if (i) the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater
than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below) and (ii)
a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of
the Warrant Stock is not then in effect by the date such registration statement
is required to be effective pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) or not effective at any time during the
Effectiveness Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in
accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, unless the
registration statement is not effective as a result of the Issuer exercising its
rights under Section 3(n) of the Registration Rights Agreement, in lieu of
exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant
by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock
equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the

exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not
exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise (the “Delivery Date”) or,
at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the
Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect),
issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the
Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”)
within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such
exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the
holder of the shares of Warrant
2
Stock so
purchased as of the date of such exercise. Notwithstanding the
foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be
obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s behalf via
DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a sale and the Issuer and its
transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system. The
Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an indemnification undertaking
with respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, at
such time that this Warrant is fully exercised. With respect to
partial exercises of this Warrant, the Issuer shall keep written records of the
number of shares of Warrant Stock exercised as of each date of
exercise.
(e) Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Stock pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery
Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase
(in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver
in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Stock which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Issuer 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
shares of Warrant Stock that the Issuer 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 shares of Warrant Stock 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 Issuer 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 Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer 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
Issuer. 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 Issuer’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the
terms hereof.
(f) Transferability of
Warrant. Subject to Section 2(h) hereof, this Warrant may be
transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, without the consent of the
Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may
be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by
duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office
of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the
form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other
governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is
exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants to purchase the
same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent
the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder
hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. 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 shares of
Warrant Stock issuable pursuant thereto.
3
(g) Continuing Rights of
Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after
each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,
acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to
afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant,
provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the
failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such
rights to such Holder.
(h) Compliance with Securities
Laws.
(i) The
Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and
the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired
solely for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other party,
and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise
dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon
exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an
exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws.
(ii) Except as
provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates
representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be
stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
THIS
WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
(iii) The
Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the
Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to
making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice
to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such
proposed transfer will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has
received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the
effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not
required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration
statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been
filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become
effective under the Securities Act and the Holder has represented that the
Warrant Stock has been or will be sold, (iii) the Issuer has received other
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and
qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not
required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable assurances that
such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b)
either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Issuer, to the effect that registration or qualification under the
securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not required in connection with
such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities
or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect
thereto. The Issuer will
4
respond
to any such notice from a holder within five (5) Trading Days. In the
case of any proposed transfer under this Section 2(h), the Issuer will use
reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue
sky" laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in
any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would
subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is
not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of
any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the
Issuer. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 2(h)
shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions
on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant. Whenever
a certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required to be issued to a the
Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates
representing the Warrant Stock, the Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts
to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Stock to the
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through
its DWAC system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this
Warrant or the Purchase Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing to
the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue
and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if such exercise
is in connection with a sale and the Issuer and its transfer agent are
participating in DTC through the DWAC system.
(i) Accredited Investor
Status. In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in
whole or in part unless the Holder is then an “accredited investor” as defined
in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
3. Stock Fully Paid;
Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Stock Fully
Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees
that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of
this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through the
Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the
period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times
have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this
Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least one hundred twenty
percent (120%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Reservation. If
any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of
this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or
qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law
before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best
efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be
duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of
Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list
thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of
Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as
otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Stock has been
registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act then in
effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange
rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable
hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so
listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or
market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder
of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant
if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such
securities exchange or market by the Issuer.
(c) Loss, Theft, Destruction of
Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer
of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of
indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will
make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant,
a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same
number of shares of Common Stock.
5
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price
and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise. The Warrant Price
and the Warrant Share Number shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice
of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this
Section 4 in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section
5.
(a) Recapitalization,
Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or
Sale.
(i) In case
the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a
"Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person and
the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such
consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or
merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person
but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the
Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or
cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its
properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization
or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such
Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made to the Warrant Price and the
number of shares of Warrant Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this
Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof
at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this
Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the
Warrant Price as adjusted to take into account the consummation of such
Triggering Event, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of
this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, to which such
Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event
if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately
prior thereto. Immediately upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event,
the Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing of such Triggering Event and
provide the calculations in determining the number of shares of Warrant Stock
issuable upon exercise of the new warrant and the adjusted Warrant
Price. Upon the Holder’s request, the continuing or surviving
corporation as a result of such Triggering Event shall issue to the Holder a new
warrant of like tenor evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted number of
shares of Warrant Stock and the adjusted Warrant Price pursuant to the terms and
provisions of this Section 4(a)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing to
the contrary, this Section 4(a)(i) shall only apply if the surviving entity
pursuant to any such Triggering Event is a company that has a class of equity
securities registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and its common stock is listed or quoted on a national securities
exchange, national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin
Board. In the event that the surviving entity pursuant to any such
Triggering Event is not a public company that is registered pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or its common stock is not listed
or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated quotation system
or the OTC Bulletin Board, then the Holder shall have the right to demand that
the Issuer pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the value of this
Warrant as of the date of the Triggering Event calculated in accordance with the
Black-Scholes formula.
(ii) In the
event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this Warrant prior to the
consummation of a Triggering Event, so long as the surviving entity pursuant to
any Triggering Event is a company that has a class of equity securities
registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its
common stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national
automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, the surviving entity
and/or each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any
Securities, upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume,
by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder
of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if
the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such
assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any
continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation
to deliver to such Holder such Securitiesas, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and
the surviving entity and/or each such Person shall have similarly delivered
6
to such
Holder an opinion of counsel for the surviving entity and/or each such Person,
which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, or in the
alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief
Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter
continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without
limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to
the Securities which the surviving entity and/or each such Person may be
required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any
rights pursuant hereto.
(b) Subdivisions and
Combinations. If at any time the Issuer shall:
(i) subdivide
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common
Stock, or
(ii) combine
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock, then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted
to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to
receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in
effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after
such adjustment.
(c) Other Provisions applicable
to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions
shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in
effect provided for in this Section 4:
(i) When Adjustments to Be
Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made
whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall
occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be
postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the
Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of
exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not
previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of the shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the
making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of
less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be
carried forward and made(x) as soon as such adjustment, together with other
adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in
a minimum adjustment or (y) on the date of exercise. For the purpose
of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the
close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(ii) Fractional
Interests. In computing ad-justments under this Section 4,
fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the near-est
one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share.
7
(d) Form of Warrant after
Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be changed
because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of
Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
5. Notice of
Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share
Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial
Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable
detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the
method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the
basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant
Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall
cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant
promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and
the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such
certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to a
national or regional accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the
Holder, provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of
notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in
which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have
no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this
Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a
written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty
(30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall
be final and binding on the parties hereto. The costs and expenses of
the initial accounting firm shall be paid equally by the Issuer and the Holder
and, in the case of an objection by the Issuer, the costs and expenses of the
subsequent accounting firm shall be paid in full by the Issuer.
6. Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued
in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares,
the Issuer shall round the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the
nearest whole number of shares.
7. Ownership Cap and Exercise
Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Warrant, at no time may a Holder of this Warrant exercise this
Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such
exercise would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock
owned by such Holder and its affiliates at such time, the number of shares of
Common Stock which would result in such Holder and its affiliates beneficially
owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that upon a holder of this Warrant
providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 13
hereof) (the "Waiver Notice") that such Holder would like to waive this Section
7 with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant, this Section 7 will be of no force or effect with regard to all or
a portion of the Warrant referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further,
that this provision shall be of no further force or effect during the sixty-one
(61) days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this
Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these exercise restrictions
shall not be applicable to Renaissance Capital Group, Inc. and its
affiliates (collectively, "Xxxx"), if Xxxx so notifies the Issuer (either in
writing or by email) prior to the date of issuance of the securities to which
