Section 2. Exercise.
a)
Exercise of
Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on
or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination
Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of
the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the
registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the
books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy (or e-mail
attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto.
Within the earlier of (i) three (3) Trading Days and (ii) the
number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period
(as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of
exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate
Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of
Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a
United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified
in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of
Exercise. No
ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any
medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of
any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to
physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder
has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the
Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three
(3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is
delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant
resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant
Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the
outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an
amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased.
The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the
number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.
The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise
within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of
this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the
provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion
of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares
available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than
the amount stated on the face hereof.
b)
Cashless Exercise.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, commencing
six (6) months from the Initial Exercise Date if the Per Share
Market Value (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock is
greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set
forth below) and there is not an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant
Shares, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the
Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise by
surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company
together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise, in which
event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of
Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X = Y x
(B-A)
B
Where X = the number of
Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the number of Warrant Shares 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 Exercise Price.
B
= the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common
Stock.
-2-
For
purposes hereof, “Per Share Market Value”
means on any particular date (a) the last closing bid price per
share of the Common Stock on such date on the OTC Bulletin Board or
another registered national stock exchange on which the Common
Stock is then listed, or if there is no such price on such date,
then the closing bid price on such exchange or quotation system on
the date nearest preceding such date, or (b) if the Common Stock is
not listed then on the OTC Bulletin Board or any registered
national stock exchange, the last closing bid price for a share of
Common Stock in the over the counter market, as reported by the OTC
Bulletin Board or by Pink OTC Markets Inc. or similar organization
or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) at the
close of business on such date, or (c) if the Common Stock is not
then reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or by Pink OTC Markets Inc.
(or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of
reporting prices), then the average of the “Pink Sheet”
quotes for the five (5) Trading Days preceding such date of
determination, or (d) if the Common Stock is not then publicly
traded the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as
determined by the Company’s board of directors.
If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the
parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section
3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the
characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding
period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the
holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not
to take any position contrary to this Section 2(b).
c)
Exercise Price. The
exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant
shall be $3.00, subject to
adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
d)
Mechanics of
Exercise.
i.
Delivery of Warrant Shares
Upon Exercise. Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be
transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the
account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance
account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or
Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is
then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an
effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the
Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder and
the Holder has provided the Company with written representations as
reasonably requested by the Company in connection with such legend
removal or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the
Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to
Rule 144 and the Holder has provided the Company with written
representations as reasonably requested by the Company in
connection with such legend removal, and otherwise by physical
delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share
register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number
of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such
exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of
Exercise by the date that is the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day
and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard
Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice
of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the
Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become
the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which
this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of
delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless
exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) three Trading Days
and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard
Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. The
Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant
in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and
exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement
Period” means the standard settlement period,
expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s
primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in
effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of
Exercise.
-3-
ii.
Delivery of New Warrants
Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in
part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon
surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of
the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing
the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares
called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other
respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii.
Rescission Rights.
If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the
Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the
Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to
rescind such exercise.
iv.
Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the
Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder
the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section
2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required
by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or
otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise
purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a
sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the
Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by
which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the
number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver
to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2)
the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase
obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder,
either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number
of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which
case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the
Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been
issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and
delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to
cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of
Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such
purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of
such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Xxxxxx’s right to
pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in
equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the
Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock
upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
v.
No Fractional Shares or
Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to
purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election,
either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in
an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price
or round up to the next whole share.
-4-
vi.
Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without
charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other
incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant
Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the
Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the
Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder;
provided,
however, that in
the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than
the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise
shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly
executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition
thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any
transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer
Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of
Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another
established clearing corporation performing similar functions)
required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant
Shares.
vii.
Closing of Books.
The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any
manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant
to the terms hereof.
e)
Xxxxxx’s Exercise
Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of
this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any
portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the
extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as
set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder
(together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons
acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the
Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)),
would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing
sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being
made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which
would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised
portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of
its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or
conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other
securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other
Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially
owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution
Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for
purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being
acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to
the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for
any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the
extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies,
the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in
relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any
Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this
Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the
Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed
to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is
exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder
together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which
portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no
obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.
In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated
above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the
Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with
the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by
the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral
request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days
confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
-5-
be
determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of
securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or
its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which
such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The
“Beneficial
Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company,
may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section
2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such
notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this
paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise
than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to
correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be
defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership
Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements
necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a
successor holder of this Warrant.
Section 3. Certain
Adjustments.
a)
Adjustments for Stock
Splits, Combinations, Certain Dividends and Distributions.
If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the
Initial Exercise Date, effect a split of the outstanding Common
Stock (or any other subdivision of its shares of Common Stock into
a larger number of shares of Common Stock), combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock, or make or issue or set a record date for the determination
of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, in each event
(i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant
shall be exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such
event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common
Stock that 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 (ii) the Exercise Price then
in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise 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.
b)
Adjustment for Other
Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall, at any
time or from time to time after the Initial Exercise Date, make or
issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in (i) cash, (ii) any evidences of indebtedness, or any
other securities of the Company or any property of any nature
whatsoever, other than, in each case, shares of Common Stock; or
(iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any
evidences of indebtedness, or any other securities of the Company
or any property of any nature whatsoever, other than, in each case,
shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, (A) the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant shall be exercisable
shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (1) the numerator
of which shall be the last closing bid price per share of the
Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (2) the
denominator of which shall be such last closing bid price per share
of the Common Stock minus the amount allocable to one share of
Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair
value (as determined in good faith by the Board) of any and all
such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities
or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so
distributable, and (B) the Exercise Price then in effect shall be
adjusted to equal (1) the Exercise 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 (2) the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification
of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par
value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into
shares of Common Stock
-6-
and
shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution
by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of
such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 3(b)
and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed
into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part
of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision
or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock within the meaning of Section 3(a).
c)
Adjustments for
Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common
Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable at any time or from
time to time after the Initial Exercise Date shall be changed to
the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of
stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or
otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of
shares or stock dividends provided for in Section 3(a), Section
3(b), or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets
provided for in Section 3(d)), then, and in each event, an
appropriate revision to the Exercise Price shall be made and
provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Exercise Price or
otherwise) so that, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant,
the Holder shall have the right to receive, in lieu of Common
Stock, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities
receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other
change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to such
reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all
subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
d)
Adjustments for
Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets. If
at any time or from time to time after the Initial Exercise Date
there shall be a capital reorganization of the Company (other than
by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends
or distributions provided for in Section 3(a), and Section 3(b), or
a reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for
in Section 3(c)), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with
or into another corporation where the holders of the
Company’s outstanding voting securities prior to such merger
or consolidation do not own over 50% of the outstanding voting
securities of the merged or consolidated entity, immediately after
such merger or consolidation, or the sale of all or substantially
all of the Company’s properties or assets to any other person
(an “Organic
Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change an
appropriate revision to the Exercise Price shall be made if
necessary and provision shall be made if necessary (by adjustments
of the Exercise Price or otherwise) so that, upon any subsequent
exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to
receive, in lieu of Common Stock, the kind and amount of shares of
stock and other securities or property of the Company or any
successor corporation resulting from the Organic Change. In any
such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application
of the provisions of this Section 3(d) with respect to the rights
of the Holder after the Organic Change to the end that the
provisions of this Section 3(d) (including any adjustment in the
Exercise Price then in effect and the number of shares of stock or
other securities deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall
be applied after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as
may be practicable.
e)
Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent
or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes
of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to
be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of
the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if
any) issued and outstanding.
f)
Notice to
Holder.
i.
Adjustment to Exercise
Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to
any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver
to the Holder a notice by facsimile or email setting forth the
Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment
to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment.
-7-
ii.
Notice to Allow Exercise
by Xxxxxx. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or
any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B)
the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on
or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall
authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock
of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders
of the Company shall be required in connection with any
reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger
to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory
share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize
the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company
shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at
its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon
the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days
prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter
specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption,
rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as
of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled
to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are
to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected
to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share
exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any
defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such
notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant
constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall
simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a
Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to
exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of
such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such
notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth
herein.
Section 4. Transfer of
Warrant.
a)
Transferability.
Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, this
Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation,
any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment
of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly
executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds
sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of
such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment,
the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the
denomination or denominations reasonably requested in such
instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new
Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and
this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to
physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder
has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days
of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company
assigning this Warrant full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in
accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the
purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant
issued.
-8-
b)
New Warrants. This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon
presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,
together with a written notice specifying the names and
denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the
Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section
4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or
combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or
combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on
transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and
shall be substantially identical with this Warrant except as to the
number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c)
Warrant Register.
The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be
maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in
the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company
may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any
distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent
actual notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer Restrictions.
If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in
connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this
Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective
registration
statement under the Securities Act
and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without
volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information
requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a
condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee
of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of
the Exchange Agreement and applicable securities
laws.
e)
Representation by the
Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and
warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise
hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such
exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for
distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof
in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted
under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a)
No Rights as Stockholder
Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of
the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section
2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
b)
Loss, Theft, Destruction
or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon
receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any
stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of
loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not
include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and
cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated,
the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock
certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in
lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c)
Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking
of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken
or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
Day.
-9-
d)
Automatic Exercise upon
Expiration. In the event that, upon the Termination Date,
the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock (or other
security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in
accordance with this Warrant above is greater than the Exercise
Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically
be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to a
Cashless Exercise as to all shares (or such other securities) for
which this Warrant shall not previously have been exercised or
converted, and the Company shall promptly deliver the shares (or
such other securities) issued upon such exercise to the Holder;
provided,
however, to the
extent that the foregoing automatic exercise would result in the
Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the
Holder shall not be entitled to the Warrant Shares issuable upon
such automatic exercise to such extent and the remainder of such
Warrant Shares shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the
Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not
result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation.
e)
Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is
outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the
issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase
rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its
issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its
officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this
Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be
necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as
provided herein without violation of any applicable law or
regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which
the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all
Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of
the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for
such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the
issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer
occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the
Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its articles of incorporation or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any
of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of
all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to
protect the rights of Xxxxxx as set forth in this Warrant against
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares
above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately
prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as
may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations,
exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having
jurisdiction thereof, as may be, reasonably necessary to enable the
Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number
of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or
exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be reasonably
necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof.
-10-
f)
Governing Law;
Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, without giving effect to any of the conflicts of law
principles which would result in the application of the substantive
law of another jurisdiction. Each of the Company and the Holder (i)
hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the United States
District Court sitting in the Southern District of New York and the
courts of the State of New York located in New York county for the
purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to the Exchange Agreement or any of the other transaction
documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and
(ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject
to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of
the suit, action or proceeding is improper.
g)
Restrictions. The
Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the
exercise of this Warrant will have restrictions upon resale imposed
by state and federal securities laws.
h)
Nonwaiver and
Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to
exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as
a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s
rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all
rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company
willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this
Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the
Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient
to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate
proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due
pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers
or remedies hereunder.
i)
Notices. Any and
all notices or other communications or deliveries required or
permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via
facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address of the
addressee at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a
Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via
facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address of the
addressee on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30
p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second
(2nd)
Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S.
nationally recognized overnight courier service or (d) upon actual
receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
The address for such notices and communications shall be as set
forth in the Company’s records.
j)
Limitation of
Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any
affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to
purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or
privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the
Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a
stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by
the Company or by creditors of the Company.
k)
Remedies. The
Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company
agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for
any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of
this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the
defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
l)
Successors and
Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant
and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns
of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.
The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit
of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be
enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
-11-
m)
Amendment. This
Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived
with the prior written consent of the Company and the Holder.
n)
Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity,
without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the
remaining provisions of this Warrant.
o)
Headings. The
headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference
only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this
Warrant.
