the
right to purchase from HANA BIOSCIENCES, INC., a Delaware corporation, (the

___________ (____________) fully paid and nonassessable shares, of the Company’s
common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common
Stock”),
subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price equal to the Exercise
Price
as defined in Section 3 below, at any time during the Term (as defined
below).
Holder
(as defined below) agrees with the Company that this Warrant to Purchase Common
Stock of the Company (this “Warrant”
or
this
“Agreement”)
is
issued and all rights hereunder shall be held subject to all of the conditions,
limitations and provisions set forth herein.
1.
Date
of Issuance and Term.
This
Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on ___________ (“Date
of Issuance”).
The
term of this Warrant begins on the Date of Issuance and ends at 5:00 p.m.,
New
York City time, on the date that is six (6) years after the Date of
Issuance (the “Term”).
This
Warrant was issued in conjunction with that certain Facility Agreement (the
“Facility
Agreement“)
and
the Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration
Rights Agreement”)
by and
among the Company and __________, each dated _____ __, 2007, entered into in
conjunction herewith.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue to the Holder,
and
the Holder may not acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock upon exercise
of
this Warrant to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of shares of
Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any
other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would
be
aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange
Act”)
(including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but
excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities
or
rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert,
exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed
9.98% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issued
and outstanding. The foregoing shall be hereinafter referred to as the
“9.98
Restriction”.
For
purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”),
and
the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent
with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written
request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days confirm
orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding.
“Affiliate”
means
any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with
a
person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).
With
respect to a Holder of Warrants, any investment fund or managed account that
is
managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Holder
will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Holder.
“Holder”
means
______ and any transferee or assignee pursuant to the terms of this
Warrant.
2.
Exercise.
(a)
Manner of Exercise.
During
the Term, this Warrant may be Exercised as to all or any lesser number of full
shares of Common Stock covered hereby (the “Warrant
Shares”
or
the
“Shares”)
upon
surrender of this Warrant, with the Exercise Form attached hereto as
Exhibit
A
(the
“Exercise
Form”)
duly
completed and executed, together with the full Exercise Price (as defined below,
which may be satisfied by a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise, as each is
defined below) for each share of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is
Exercised, at the office of the Company, Hana Biosciences, Inc., 0000 Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000; Phone: (000) 000-0000,
Fax: (000) 000-0000, or at such other office or agency as the Company may
designate in writing, by overnight mail, with an advance copy of the Exercise
Form sent to the Company and its transfer agent (“Transfer
Agent”)
by
facsimile (such surrender and payment of the Exercise Price hereinafter called
the “Exercise”
of
this
Warrant).
(b)
Date of Exercise. The
“Date
of Exercise”
of
the
Warrant shall be defined as the date that the Exercise Form attached hereto
as
Exhibit
A,
completed and executed, is sent by facsimile to the Company, provided that
the
original Warrant and Exercise Form are received by the Company and the Exercise
Price is satisfied, each as soon as practicable thereafter. Alternatively,
the
Date of Exercise shall be defined as the date the original Exercise Form is
received by the Company, if Holder has not sent advance notice by facsimile.
Upon valid delivery of the Exercise Form to the Company by facsimile or
otherwise, 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 such Warrant Shares are credited
to
the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing
such Warrant Shares as the case may be.
(c)
Delivery of Common Stock Upon Exercise.
Within
three (3) business days after any Date of Exercise (the “Delivery
Period”),
the
Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its Transfer Agent so to issue and
deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof to or upon the order of the Holder
that number of shares of Common Stock (“Exercise
Shares”)
for
the portion of this Warrant converted as shall be determined in accordance
herewith. Upon the Exercise of this Warrant or any part thereof, the Company
shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including
obtaining and delivering, an opinion of counsel to assure that the Transfer
Agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee)
or
such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations to be
specified at Exercise representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such Exercise. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these
instructions have been or will be given to the Transfer Agent and that, unless
waived by the Holder, the Exercise Shares will be free-trading, and freely
transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or
transferability of the Exercise Shares if the Unrestricted Conditions (as
defined below) are met.
(d) Delivery
Failure. In
addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the
event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Exercise
Shares by the end of the Delivery Period (a “Delivery
Failure”),
the
Holder will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Exercise Form
by
delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and
the
Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior
to
the delivery of such notice, except that the liquidated damages described herein
shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given
to
the Company.
2
(e)
Legends.
(i)
Restrictive
Legend.
The
Holder understands that until such time as this Warrant and the Exercise Shares
have been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the
Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144
or
Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under
the
Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of
a
particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Warrant and the Exercise
Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and
a
stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for
such
securities):
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR PURSUANT
TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
PURSUANT TO RULES 144 OR 144A UNDER SAID ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE
EFFECTED UNDER APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE,
SUCH AS A SO-CALLED “4(1) AND A HALF” SALE.”
“THE
SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS
AGREEMENT DATED AS OF _______, 2007, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE
COMPANY AND A CERTAIN HOLDER OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH
AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER
OF
RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
(ii)
Removal
of Restrictive Legends.
This
Warrant and certificates evidencing the Exercise Shares shall not contain any
legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above
in
subsection 2(e)(i)): (A) while a registration statement (including a
Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
covering the sale or resale of such security is effective under the Securities
Act, or (B) following any sale of such Warrant and/or Exercise Shares
pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Warrant and/or Exercise Shares are
eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (D) if such legend is not required
under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC)
(collectively, the “Unrestricted
Conditions”).
The
Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent
promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Company’s transfer agent to
effect the issuance of this Warrant and Exercise Shares without a restrictive
legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If the Unrestricted Conditions are
met at the time of issuance of this Warrant and/or Exercise Shares, then such
Warrant and/or Exercise Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company
agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as the Unrestricted
Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this
Section 2(e), it will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following
the delivery (the “Unlegended
Shares Delivery Deadline”)
by the
Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of this Warrant and a certificate
representing Exercise Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend
(such third Trading Day, the “Legend
Removal Date”),
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder this Warrant and/or a
certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free
from
all restrictive and other legends. For purposes hereof, “Effective
Date”
shall
mean the date that the Registration Statement that the Company is required
to
file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective
by the SEC.
3
(iii)
Sale
of Unlegended Shares.
Holder
agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from this Warrant and any
certificates representing securities as set forth in Section 2(e)(i) above
is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell this Warrant
and/or any Exercise Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements
of
the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements,
or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to
a
Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of
distribution set forth therein.
(f)
Cancellation of Warrant. This
Warrant shall be canceled upon the full Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon
as practical after the Date of Exercise, Holder shall be entitled to receive
Common Stock for the number of shares purchased upon such Exercise of this
Warrant, and if this Warrant is not Exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled
to receive a new Warrant (containing terms identical to this Warrant)
representing any unexercised portion of this Warrant in addition to such Common
Stock.
(g)
Holder of Record. Each
person in whose name any Warrant for shares of Common Stock is issued shall,
for
all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of record of such shares on the Date
of
Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Common
Stock purchased upon the Exercise of this Warrant. Nothing in this Warrant
shall
be construed as conferring upon Holder any rights as a stockholder of the
Company.
(h)
Delivery of Electronic Shares.
In lieu
of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable
upon
Exercise or legend removal, provided the Company’s Transfer Agent is
participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
Fast
Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”)
program, upon written request of the Holder, the Company shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause its Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the
Common Stock issuable upon Exercise to the Holder by crediting the account
of
the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission (DWAC) system. The time periods for delivery and penalties described
herein shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein. Any delivery
not effected by electronic transmission shall be effected by delivery of
physical certificates.
(i)
Buy-In.
In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails
to
cause its Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Exercise Shares pursuant to an Exercise on or before the
Delivery Period, 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 Exercise Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving
upon such Exercise (a “Buy-In”),
then
the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which
(x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if
any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount
obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Exercise Shares that the Company
was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the Exercise at issue
times and (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 Exercise
Shares for which such Exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the
number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company
timely complied with its Exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For
example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price
of
$11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted Exercise to cover the
sale of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase
obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding
sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder
shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to
the
Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and
other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit
a
Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or
in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon Exercise of the Warrant
as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.

3.
Payment
of Warrant Exercise Price.
(a)
Exercise Price.
The
Exercise Price (“Exercise
Price”)
shall
initially equal $
per
share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof, including but not
limited to Section 5 below.
Payment
of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a combination
thereof, at the election of Holder:
(i)
Cash
Exercise: The
Holder may exercise this Warrant in cash, bank or cashier’s check or wire
transfer (a “Cash
Exercise”);
or
(ii)
Cashless
Exercise: The
Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant in a cashless exercise
transaction. In order to effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall surrender
this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of
cashless election, in which event the Company shall issue Holder a number of
shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula (a “Cashless
Exercise”):
X
= Y
(A-B)/A
where:
X
= the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.
Y
= the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being Exercised.
A
= the
Market Price of one (1) share of Common Stock (for purposes of this
Section 3(ii), where “Market
Price,”
as
of
any date, means the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined herein) of the
Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period
immediately preceding the date in question.
B
= the
Exercise Price.
As
used
herein, the “Volume
Weighted Average Price”
for
any
security as of any date means the volume weighted average sale price on The
NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”)
as
reported by, or based upon data reported by, Bloomberg Financial Markets or
an
equivalent, reliable reporting service mutually acceptable to and hereafter
designated by holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants and the Company
(“Bloomberg”)
or, if
NASDAQ is not the principal trading market for such security, the volume
weighted average sale price of such security on the principal securities
exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported
by Bloomberg, or, if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for
such
security, then the last closing trade price of such security as reported by
Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for such security
by
Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security
that are listed in the over the counter market by the National Association
of
Securities Dealers or in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau,
Inc. If the Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for such security
on such date in the manner provided above, the volume weighted average price
shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the
Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants being Exercised for which
the
calculation of the volume weighted average price is required in order to
determine the Exercise Price of such Warrants. “Trading
Day”
shall
mean any day on which the Common Sock is traded for any period on NASDAQ, or
on
the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common
Stock is then being traded.
5
For
purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of
this
Warrant in a cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired
at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is intended, understood and
acknowledged that the holding period for the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise
of this Warrant in a cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have
commenced on the date this Warrant was issued.
(b)
Dispute
Resolution.
In the
case of a dispute as to the determination of the closing price or the Volume
Weighted Average Price of the Company’s Common Stock or the arithmetic
calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any Redemption Price, the
Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations
via
facsimile within two (2) business days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of
the Exercise Notice or Redemption Notice, or other event giving rise to such
dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are
unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two
(2) business days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation
being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two
(2) business days submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination
of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s
Common Stock to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the
Company and approved by the Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price,
Market Price or any Redemption Price to the Company’s independent, outside
accountant. The Company, at the Company’s expense, shall cause the investment
bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or
calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later
than
five (5) business days from the time it receives the disputed
determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s
determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all
parties absent demonstrable error.
4.
Transfer
and Registration.
(a)
Transfer
Rights. Subject
to the provisions of Section 8 of this Warrant, this Warrant may be
transferred on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, in person or
by
attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly completed and endorsed. This
Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as practicable
thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made shall be entitled to
receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant transferred,
and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to the portion hereof
retained.
(b)
Registrable
Securities. This
Warrant and the Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant have
registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
6
5.
Anti-Dilution
Adjustments; Additional Adjustments; Purchase Rights.
(a)
Participation.
The
Holder, as the holder of this Warrant, shall be entitled to receive such
dividends paid and distributions of any kind made to the holders of Common
Stock
of the Company to the same extent as if the Holder had Exercised this Warrant
into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise herein or
elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares
are
authorized and reserved to effect any such exercise and issuance) and had held
such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and
distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently
with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock.
(b)
Recapitalization
or Reclassification. If
the
Company shall at any time effect a recapitalization, reclassification or other
similar transaction of such character that the shares of Common Stock shall
be
changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares,
then upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock
which
Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be
increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase
or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such
recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise
Price shall be, in the case of an increase in the number of shares,
proportionally decreased and, in the case of decrease in the number of shares,
proportionally increased. The Company shall give Holder the same notice it
provides to holders of Common Stock of any transaction described in this
Section 5(b).
(c)
Rights
Upon Major Transaction.
(i)
Major
Transaction.
In the
event that a Major Transaction (as defined below) occurs, the Holder, at its
option, may require the Company to redeem the Holder’s outstanding Warrants in
accordance with Section 5(c)(iii) below. Otherwise, a Major Transaction
shall be treated as an Assumption (as defined below) in accordance with
Section 5(c)(ii) below unless the Holder waives its rights under this
Section 5(c) with respect to that Major Transaction. Notwithstanding the
foregoing and the immediately following definition, the transactions and events
listed on Schedule 5(c)(i) attached hereto shall not constitute “Major
Transactions” for purposes of this Section 5(c). Each of the following events
shall constitute a “Major
Transaction”:
(A)
a
consolidation, merger, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization,
business combination or other similar event, (1) following which the
holders of Common Stock immediately preceding such consolidation, merger,
exchange, recapitalization, reorganization, combination or event either
(a) no longer hold a majority of the shares of Common Stock or (b) no
longer have the ability to elect a majority of the board of directors of the
Company or (2) as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed
into (or the shares of Common Stock become entitled to receive) the same or
a
different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock
or
securities of the Company or another entity (collectively, a “Change
of Control Transaction”);
7
(B)
the
direct or indirect sale or transfer of significant assets of the Company which,
without limitation, shall include, but not be limited to, a sale or transfer
of
assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions for a purchase
price of more than $25,000,000, a sale or transfer of more than 50% of the
Company’s assets or a sale or transfer of assets or proprietary rights that are
material to the operations and business of the Company;
(C)
a
purchase, tender or exchange offer made to the holders of outstanding shares
of
Common Stock, such that following such purchase, tender or exchange offer a
Change of Control Transaction shall have occurred;
(D)
an
issuance or series of issuances by the Company after the date of this Warrant,
without the Approval of the Holder, of an aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock in excess of 25% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of the date
hereof;
(E)
any
Extraordinary Event (as defined in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions)
shall have occurred;
(F)
) the
liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding-up (or the
occurrence of any analogous proceeding) affecting the Company; or
(G)
the
shares of Common Stock cease to be listed, traded or publicly quoted on the
NASDAQ Global Market and are not promptly re-listed or requoted on either the
New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select
Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market.
8
(ii)
Assumption.
The
Company shall not enter into or be party to a Major Transaction unless
(i) any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring the Company’s assets or
Common Stock, or any successor entity resulting from such Major Transaction
(in
each case, a “Successor
Entity”),
assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant,
the
Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement in accordance with
the
provisions of this Section 5(c)(ii) pursuant to written agreements in form
and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to
such Major Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of
Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security of the Successor Entity
evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance
to
the Warrants, including, without limitation, representing the appropriate number
of shares of the Successor Entity, having similar exercise rights as the
Warrants (including but not limited to a similar Exercise Price and similar
Exercise Price adjustment provisions based on the price per share or conversion
ratio to be received by the holders of Common Stock in the Major Transaction)
and similar registration rights as provided by the Registration Rights Agreement
, satisfactory to the Holder and (ii) any Successor Entity (including its
Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted
on
or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any Major
Transaction, any Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for
(so
that from and after the date of such Major Transaction, the provisions of this
Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement referring to the “Company” shall
refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power
of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under
this
Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as
the
Company herein. Upon consummation of the Major Transaction, the Successor Entity
shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon
exercise or redemption of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of
the
Major Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities,
cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants
prior
to such Major Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or
their
equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the
provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly
and equally to successive Major Transactions and shall be applied without regard
to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant other than any applicable
beneficial ownership limitations. Any assumption of Company obligations under
this paragraph shall be referred to herein as an “Assumption”.
(iii)
Notice;
Major
Transaction Redemption Right.
At least
thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any Major Transaction, but,
in any event, on the first to occur of (x) the date of the public announcement
of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New
York City time, or (y) the day following the public announcement of such Major
Transaction if such announcement is made on and after 4:00 p.m., New York City
time, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and
overnight courier to the Holder (a “Major
Transaction Notice”).
At
any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Major
Transaction Notice and ending five (5) Trading Days prior to the
consummation of such Major Transaction, the Holder may require the Company
to
redeem (a “Redemption
Upon Major Transaction”)
all or
any portion of this Warrant by delivering written notice thereof (“Major
Transaction Redemption Notice”)
to the
Company, which Major Transaction Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion
of
the principal amount (the “Redemption
Principal Amount”)
of the
Warrant that the Holder is electing to have redeemed. The portion of this
Warrant subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5(c)(iii) shall be
redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (the “Major
Transaction Warrant Redemption Price”)
equal
to the “Black Scholes value” as determined in accordance with Section 10(b)
hereof of the remaining outstanding portion of the Warrant.
9
(iv)
Escrow;
Payment of Major Transaction Redemption Price.
Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Redemption Notice from the Holder,
the Company shall not effect a Major Transaction unless it shall first place
into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, at least three
(3) business days prior to the closing date of the Major Transaction (the
“Major
Transaction Escrow Deadline”),
an
amount equal to the Major Transaction Warrant Redemption Price. Concurrently
upon closing of any Major Transaction, the Company shall pay or shall instruct
the escrow agent to pay the Major Transaction Redemption Price to the Holder.
For purposes of determining the amount required to be placed in escrow pursuant
to the provisions of this subsection (iv) and without affecting the amount
of
the actual Major Transaction Warrant Redemption Price, the calculation of the
price referred to in clause (1) of the first column of Schedule 1 hereto with
respect to Stock Price shall be determined based on the Closing Market Price
(as
defined herein) of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding
the
date that the funds are deposited with the escrow agent.
(v)
Injunction.
Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Redemption Notice from the Holder,
in the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Major Transaction without
placing the Major Transaction Warrant Redemption Price in escrow in accordance
with subsection (iv) above or without payment of the Major Transaction
Warrant Redemption Price to the Holder upon consummation of such Major
Transaction, the Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in
any
state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan
to
prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until the Major Transaction
Redemption Price is paid to the Holder, in full.
Redemptions
required by this Section 5(c) shall be made in accordance with the
provisions of Section 12 and shall have priority to payments to holders of
Common Stock in connection with a Major Transaction. To the extent redemptions
required by this Section 5(c)(iii) are deemed or determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Warrant by the Company, such
redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 5, until the Major Transaction
Redemption Price is paid in full, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or
in
part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock, or in the event the Exercise
Date is after the consummation of the Major Transaction, shares of publicly
traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity pursuant
to
Section 5(c). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s
redemption of any portion of the Warrant under this Section 5(c), the
Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the
parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the
availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder.
Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5(c) is intended
by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s
actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
10
For
purposes hereof:
“Eligible
Market”
means
the over the counter Bulletin Board, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the
NYSE
Arca, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global
Select Market or the American Stock Exchange.
“Parent
Entity”
of
a
Person means an entity that, directly or indirectly, controls the applicable
Person and whose common stock or equivalent equity security is quoted or listed
on an Eligible Market, or, if there is more than one such Person or Parent
Entity, the Person or Parent Entity with the largest public market
capitalization as of the date of consummation of a Major Transaction.
“Person”
means
an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture,
a
corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and
a government or any department or agency thereof.
(d)
Adjustment
of Number of Shares of Common Stock Underlying Warrants Upon Certain Company
Issuances.
If at
any time after the Date of Issuance and prior to the exercise of the
Anti-Adjustment Buy-Down Option (as defined in the Facility Agreement) for
so
long as any Warrants are outstanding, the Company issues or sells any shares
of
Common Stock (a “Company
Issuance”),
the
number of shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable to Holder upon Exercise
of this Warrant shall be automatically increased to an amount equal to: (x)
the
Warrant Percentage multiplied by (y) the Total Common Stock Outstanding
immediately following such issuance. For purposes hereof, the term “Warrant
Percentage”
shall
mean a fraction, represented as a decimal expressed to the third decimal point,
equal to (x) the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is
exchangeable (without regard to the 9.98% Restriction) immediately prior to
the
consummation of the Company Issuance, divided by (y) the Total Common Stock
Outstanding immediately prior to consummation of the Company Issuance. For
purposes hereof, the term “Total
Common Stock Outstanding”
shall
mean, at any date or time as of which such number is to be determined, all
shares of Common Stock outstanding (excluding shares then owned or held by
or
for the account of the Company or any subsidiary thereof) as of such date or
time. For the avoidance of doubt, the 9.98% Restriction shall continue to apply
following any adjustment to the number of shares underlying this Warrant
pursuant to this paragraph but the calculation of any such adjustment shall
not
give effect to the 9.98% Restriction.
(e)
Notice
of Adjustments. Whenever
the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares is adjusted pursuant
to
the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a
notice (an “Adjustment
Notice”)
setting forth the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares, as the
case may be, after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment. The Company shall, upon the written request at any
time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like Warrant setting forth
(i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price at the
time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the
amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be
received upon Exercise of the Warrant. For purposes of clarification, whether
or
not the Company provides an Adjustment Notice pursuant to this
Section 5(e), upon the occurrence of any event that leads to an adjustment
of the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares, the Holders are entitled
to receive a number of Exercise Shares based upon the new Exercise Price and
new
number of Warrant Shares, as adjusted, for exercises occurring on or after
the
date of such adjustment, regardless of whether a Holder accurately refers to
the
adjusted Exercise Price and/or Warrant Shares in the Exercise Form.
11
6.
Fractional
Interests.
No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable
upon
the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may
purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on Exercise of
this
Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock or
a
right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share
shall
be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Exercise
shall be the next higher number of shares.
7.
Reservation
of Shares.
From
and
after the date hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve for issuance
such
number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities
substituted therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the
Exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price. If at any time
the
number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is below
the number of shares sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant (a
“Share
Authorization Failure”)
(based
on the Exercise Price in effect from time to time), the Company will promptly
take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number
of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of
stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations
under this Section 7, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized
shares, and using its best efforts to obtain stockholder approval of an increase
in such authorized number of shares. The Company covenants and agrees that
upon
the Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
Exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
not
subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of
any
person or entity.
8.
Restrictions
on Transfer.
(a)
Registration
or Exemption Required. This
Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Regulation D and exempt from
state registration under applicable state laws. The Warrant and the Common
Stock
issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant may not be pledged, transferred,
sold
or assigned except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an
exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable
state laws including, without limitation, a so-called “4(1) and a half”
transaction.
12
(b)
Assignment.
Subject
to Section 8(a), the Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise
dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a written
notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto
as Exhibit
B,
indicating the person or persons to whom the Warrant shall be assigned and
the
respective number of warrants to be assigned to each assignee. The Company
shall
effect the assignment within three (3) business days (the “Transfer
Delivery Period”),
and
shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants
of
like tenor and terms for the appropriate number of shares. This
Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this
Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time
of
this Warrant, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. For
avoidance of doubt, in the event Holder notifies the Company that such sale
or
transfer is a so called “4(1) and half” transaction, the parties hereto agree
that a legal opinion from outside counsel for the Holder delivered to counsel
for the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C shall
be
the only requirement to satisfy an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act to effectuate such “4(1) and half” transaction.
9.
Noncircumvention.
The
Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment
of
its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer
of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at
all
times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all
action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par
value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant
above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) shall take all such
actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly
and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon
the
exercise of this Warrant.
10.
Events
of Failure; Definition of Black Scholes Value.
(a)
Definition.
The
occurrence of each of the following shall be considered to be an “Event
of Failure.”
(i)
A
“Delivery
Failure”
shall
be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to deliver Exercise Shares
pursuant to this Warrant to the Holder within any applicable Delivery Period;
(ii)
A
“Legend
Removal Failure”
shall
be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to issue this Warrant and/or
Exercise Shares without a restrictive legend, or fails to remove a restrictive
legend, when and as required under Section 2(e) hereof;
(iii)
A
“Transfer
Delivery Failure”
shall
be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to deliver a Warrant within
any
applicable Transfer Delivery Period; and
(iv)
a
Registration Failure (as defined below).
13
For
purpose hereof, “Registration
Failure”
means
that (A) the Company fails to file with the SEC on or before the Filing
Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) any Registration
Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration
Rights Agreement, or (B) the Company fails to obtain effectiveness with the
SEC, prior to the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement), of any Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) that are required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the
Registration Rights Agreement, or fails to keep such Registration Statement
current and effective as required in Section 3 of the Registration Rights
Agreement, (C) the Company fails to file any amendment to the Registration
Statement, or any additional Registration Statement required to be filed
pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement within twenty
(20) days of the applicable Registration Trigger Date (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement), or fails to cause such amendment and/or new
Registration Statement to become effective within sixty (60) days of the
applicable Registration Trigger Date, or (iv) any Registration Statement
required to be filed under the Registration Rights Agreement, after its initial
effectiveness and during the Registration Period (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement), lapses in effect or sales of all of the Registrable
Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) cannot otherwise
be
made thereunder (whether by reason of the Company’s failure to amend or
supplement the prospectus included therein in accordance with the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Company’s failure to file and obtain effectiveness with
the SEC of an additional Registration Statement or amended Registration
Statement required pursuant to Section 3 of the Registration Rights
Agreement or otherwise), or (D) the Company fails to provide a commercially
reasonable written response to any comments to any Registration Statement
submitted by the SEC within twenty (20) days of the date that such SEC
comments are received by the Company.
(b)
Failure Payments; Black-Scholes Determination.
The
Company understands that any Event of Failure (as defined above) could result
in
economic loss to the Holder. In the event that any Event of Failure occurs,
as
compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder payments (“Failure
Payments”)
at a
rate of 18% per annum (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law,
whichever is less) of the Black-Scholes value (as determined below) of the
remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request (as
recalculated on the first business day of each month thereafter for as long
as
Failure Payments shall continue to accrue), which shall accrue daily from the
date of such Event of Failure until the Event of Failure is cured, accruing
daily and compounded monthly. For purposes of clarification, it is agreed and
understood that Failure Payments shall continue to accrue following any Event
of
Default until the applicable Default Amount is paid in full.
Notwithstanding
the above, in the event that the Company (i) has, by the Filing Deadline
(as defined the Registration Rights Agreement) filed a Registration Statement
(as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the number of shares
required by the Registration Rights Agreement, and (ii) has responded in
writing to any comments to the Registration Statement that the Company has
received from the SEC, within fourteen (14) days of such receipt, and
nevertheless the SEC has not declared effective a Registration Statement
covering the full number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants by the Effectiveness Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) then, the Failure Payments attributable to such late Registration
Effectiveness shall be reduced from 18% to 15% (calculated as set forth above).
The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in cash or cash
equivalent upon demand or, if not demanded sooner, within five business
(5) days of the end of each calendar month. Failure Payments are in
addition to any Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive upon Exercise
of
this Warrant.
For
purposes hereof, the “Black-Scholes” value of a Warrant shall be determined by
use of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model using the criteria set forth
on
Schedule 1 hereto.
14
(c)
Payment of Accrued Failure Payments.
The
accrued Failure Payments for each Event of Failure shall be paid in immediately
available funds on or before the fifth (5th) day of each month following a
month in which Failure Payments accrued. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s
right to pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess of the Failure Payments)
for the Company’s Event of Failure, and the Holder shall have the right to
pursue all remedies available at law or in equity (including a decree of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding the above,
if a
particular Event of Failure results in an Event of Default pursuant to
Section 11 hereof, then the Failure Payment, for that Event of Failure
only, shall be considered to have been satisfied upon payment to the Holder
of
an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Failure Payment, or (ii) the
Default Amount, payable in accordance with Section 11.
(d)
Maximum Interest Rate.
Nothing
contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in
connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of
a
rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by
applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required
to
be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law,
any
payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by
the
Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company.
11.
Default
and Redemption.
(a)
Events
Of Default.
Each of
the following events shall be considered to be an “Event
of Default,”
unless
waived by the Holder:
(i)
Failure To Effect Registration.
A
Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than thirty
(30) days (or forty-five (45) days in the case where the Company
(i) has, by the Filing Deadline (as defined the Registration Rights
Agreement) filed a Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) covering the Warrant Shares required by the Registration Rights
Agreement, and (ii) has responded in writing to any comments to the
Registration Statement that the Company has received from the SEC, within
fourteen (14) days of such receipt, and nevertheless the SEC has not declared
effective a Registration Statement covering such Warrant Shares by the
Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)),
and
such
Registration Failure relates solely to the Company’s failure to have the
Registration Statement declared effective by the Registration Deadline (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement);
(ii) Failure
To Deliver Common Stock.
A
Delivery Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period
of
more than twenty (20) days; or at any time, the Company announces or states
in writing that it will not honor its obligations to issue shares of Common
Stock to the Holder upon Exercise by the Holder of the Exercise rights of the
Holder in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
(iii)
Legend Removal Failure. A
Legend
Removal Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period
of
twenty (20) days; and
(iv)
Corporate Existence; Major Transaction.
The
Company has effected a Major Transaction without paying the Major Transaction
Warrant Redemption Price to the Holder pursuant to Section 5(c)(iii) or, if
the Holder did not elect a Redemption Upon Major Transaction, the Company has
failed to meet the Assumption requirements of Section 5(c)(iii) prior to
effecting a Major Transaction.
15
(b)
Mandatory
Redemption.
(i)
Mandatory Redemption Amount.
If any
Events of Default shall occur then, unless waived by the Holder, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at the option
of
the Holder, such option exercisable through the delivery of written notice
to
the Company by such Holder (the “Default
Notice”),
the
outstanding amount of this Warrant shall be immediately redeemed by the Company
and the Company shall pay to the Holder (a “Mandatory
Redemption”),
in
full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount (the “Mandatory
Redemption Amount”
or
the
“Default
Amount”)
equal
to the greater of (i) the Black-Scholes value (as determined in accordance
with Section 10(b)) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on
the
date of such Default Notice and (2) the Black-Scholes value (also as
determined in accordance with Section 10(b)) of the remaining unexercised
portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that
the Mandatory Redemption Amount is paid to the Holder.
The
Mandatory Redemption Amount shall be payable, in cash or cash equivalent, within
five (5) business days of the Date of the applicable Default Notice.
(ii)
Liquidated Damages.
The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as Failure Payments
or pursuant to a Mandatory Redemption shall give rise to liquidated damages
and
not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss
or damages likely to be incurred by the Holder is incapable or is difficult
to
precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified bear a reasonable proportion
and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely
to
be incurred by the Holder, and (iii) the parties are sophisticated business
parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial
counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.
The
Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder, shall
immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice,
all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including,
without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder
shall
be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in
equity.
(c)
Posting
Of Bond. In
the
event that any Event of Default occurs hereunder, the Company may not raise
as a
legal defense (in any Lawsuit, as defined below, or otherwise) or justification
to such Event of Default any claim that such Holder or any one associated or
affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless
the
Company has posted a surety bond (a “Surety
Bond”)
for
the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 130% of the aggregate Surety Bond
Value (as defined below) of all of the Holder’s Warrants (the “Bond
Amount”),
which
Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the
dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent
Holder obtains judgment.
For
purposes hereof, a “Lawsuit”
shall
mean any lawsuit, arbitration or other dispute resolution filed by either party
herein pertaining to any of this Warrant, the Facility Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement.
16
“Surety
Bond Value,”
for
the Warrants shall mean 130% of the of the Black-Scholes value of the remaining
unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding
the
date that such bond goes into effect).
(d)
Injunction And Posting Of Bond.
In the
event that the Event of Default referred to in subsection (c) above
pertains to the Company’s failure to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock
to the Holder pursuant to a Warrant Exercise, legend removal request, or
otherwise, the Company may not refuse such unlegended share delivery based
on
any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder
has been engaged in any violation of law, unless an injunction from a court,
on
prior notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining Exercise of all or part
of
said Warrant shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company
has posted a Surety Bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of the
Bond Amount, which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion
of
litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such
Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.
(e)
Remedies,
Other Obligations, Breaches And Injunctive Relief. The
remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all
other remedies available under this Warrant, the Facility Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of
specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall
limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the
Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges
that
a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to
the
Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The
Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened
breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other
available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the
necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.
Section 12.
Holder’s Redemptions.
(a)
Mechanics
of Holder’s Redemptions.
In the
event that the Holder has sent a Default Notice or a Major Transaction
Redemption Notice to the Company pursuant to Section 5(c) or a Default
Notice pursuant to Section 11(b)(i), respectively (each, a “Redemption
Notice”),
the
Holder shall promptly submit this Warrant to the Company. If the Holder has
submitted a Major Transaction Redemption Notice in accordance with
Section 5(c)(iii), the Company shall deliver the applicable Major
Transaction Redemption Price to the Holder concurrently with the consummation
of
such Major Transaction. In the event that the Company does not pay the
applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required,
at
any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price
in
full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the
Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Warrant
that
was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Major Transaction
Redemption Price (together with any late charges thereon) has not been paid.
Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption
Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Redemption Principal Amount
and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Warrant, or issue a new
Warrant to the Holder representing the portion of this Warrant that was
submitted for redemption. The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption
Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the
Company’s obligations to make any payments of Failure Payments which have
accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Warrant subject
to
such notice.
13.
Benefits
of this Warrant.
Nothing
in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon any person other than the
Company and Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Warrant and this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the
Company and Holder.
17
14.
Governing
Law.
All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal
proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party
hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits
to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City
of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or
discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in
any
suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to
the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper
or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in
any
such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or
certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party
at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees
that
such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The parties hereby waive
all rights to a trial by jury. If either party shall commence an action or
proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing
party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for
its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the
investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
15.
Loss
of Warrant.
Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity
or
security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and
deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.
16.
Notice
or Demands.
Notices
or demands pursuant to this Warrant to be given or made by Holder to or on
the
Company shall be sufficiently given or made if sent by certified or registered
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed, until another
address is designated in writing by the Company, to the address set forth in
Section 2(a) above. Notices or demands pursuant to this Warrant to be given
or made by the Company to or on Holder shall be sufficiently given or made
if
sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
and addressed, to the address of Holder set forth in the Company’s records,
until another address is designated in writing by Holder.
