the Company _____________ Thousand (_______,000) shares of par value $.10
Common Stock of the Company (the "Shares"), as adjusted pursuant to the
provisions of this Warrant.
2. Exercise Price. The exercise price for the Shares shall be

to adjustment pursuant to Section 8 hereof (such price, as adjusted from
time to time, is herein referred to as the "Exercise Price").
3. Exercise Period. This Warrant is exercisable at any time and
from time to time and, except as provided below, shall remain so
exercisable for three (3) years from the date hereof. This Warrant shall
immediately terminate upon (a) the sale of all or substantially all the
assets of the Company or (b) the merger of the Company into or
consolidation with any other entity in which at least 50% of the voting
power of the Company is transferred. In the event of a transaction of
the kind described above, the Company shall notify the Holder at least
twenty (20) days prior to the consummation of such event or transaction.
4. Restricted Stock; Registration. The shares of Common Stock of
the Company purchased upon exercise of this Warrant ("Restricted Stock")
or purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant ("Underlying Stock") shall
not be transferable except upon the conditions stated below, which are
intended to insure compliance with federal and state securities laws.
The certificates representing these shares of stock, unless the same are
registered prior to exercise of this Warrant, shall be stamped or
otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
"The securities represented by this Certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
securities laws of any state. The securities have been
acquired for investment and may not be sold, offered for sale
or transferred in the absence of an effective registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any
applicable state securities laws or an opinion of counsel
satisfactory in form and substance to counsel for the Company
that the transaction shall not result in a violation of state
or federal securities laws."
5. Method of Exercise. While this Warrant remains outstanding and
exercisable in accordance with Section 3 above, the Holder may exercise,
in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise
shall be effected by: (i) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a
duly executed copy of the form of exercise attached hereto, to the
Secretary of the Company at its principal offices; and (ii) the payment
to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the
number of Shares being purchased.
6. Certificates for Shares. Upon the exercise of the purchase
rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number
of Shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter,
and in any event within 30 days of the delivery of the subscription
notice.
7. Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants that it will at
all times, keep available such number of authorized shares of its Common
Stock, free from all preemptive rights with respect thereto, which will
be sufficient to permit the exercise of this Warrant for the full number
of Shares specified herein, upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company
further covenants that such Shares, when issued pursuant to the exercise
of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-
assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issuance thereof.
8. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number
of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and
the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
follows:
(a) Subdivisions and Combinations. If the Company shall at
any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its Common
Stock by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, the number
of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be
proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision, or
proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate
adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share,
but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares
purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any
adjustment under this Section 7(a) shall become effective at the close of
business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(b) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to
be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the
Warrant, or in the Warrant Price, the Company shall promptly notify the
Holder of such event and of the number of shares of Common Stock or other
securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of the
Warrant.
9. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the number of shares of stock
issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded to the nearest
whole share.
10. No Stockholder Rights. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant,
the Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with
respect to the Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote
such Shares, receive dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise
preemptive rights or be notified of shareholder meetings, and such Holder
shall not be entitled to any notice or other communication concerning the
business or affairs of the Company.
11. Exchange of Warrant. Subject to any restriction upon transfer
set forth in this Warrant, each Warrant may be exchanged for another
Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and representing in the aggregate a
like number of Warrants. Any Holder desiring to exchange a Warrant or
Warrants shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company, and
shall surrender, properly endorsed, the Warrant or Warrants to be so
exchanged.
12. Mutilated or Missing Warrants. In case any Warrant shall be
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue and deliver
in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated
Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or
destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing an equivalent
right or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such
Warrant and indemnity or bond, if requested, also reasonably satisfactory
to the Company. An applicant for such substitute Warrant shall also
comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other
reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.
13. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes (other than
any income taxes or other similar taxes), if any, attributable to the
initial issuance of the Warrant and the issuance of the Shares upon the
exercise of the Warrant, provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of the
issuance or delivery of any Warrant, or the transfer thereof, and no such
issuance, delivery or transfer shall be made unless and until the person
requesting such issuance or transfer has paid to the Company the amount
of any such tax, or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company,
that no such tax is payable or such tax has been paid.
14. Warrant Register. The Warrants shall be numbered and shall be
registered on the books of the Company (the "Warrant Register") as they
are issued. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder
of any Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for
all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other
claim to or interest in such Warrant on the part of any other person, and
shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of Warrants which
are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the
nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a
fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such
registration of transfer, or with knowledge of such facts that its
participation therein amounts to bad faith.
15. Transfer of Warrants. The Warrants shall be transferable on
the Warrant Register only upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the
Holder or by his duly authorized attorney or representative, or
accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to
transfer. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, the original power of
attorney, duly approved, or an official copy thereof, duly certified
shall be deposited with the Company. In case of transfer by executors,
administrators, guardians or other legal representatives, duly
authenticated evidence of their authority shall be produced, and may be
required to be deposited with the Company in its discretion. Upon any
registration of transfer, the Company shall deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants to the Person entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company shall have no obligation to cause Warrants to be transferred
on its books to any Person, unless the Holder of such Warrants shall
furnish to the Company evidence of compliance with the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and applicable state blue sky laws.
16. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this
Warrant shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company
and the holders hereof and their respective successors and assigns.
17. Amendments and Waivers. This Warrant may be amended, modified,
superseded or cancelled, and any of the terms, covenants,
representations, warranties or conditions hereof may be waived, only by a
written instrument signed by the parties to be bound thereby. Any waiver
or amendment effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding
upon each holder of any Shares purchased under this Warrant at the time
outstanding (including securities into which such Shares have been
converted), each future holder of all such Shares, and the Company.
18. Governing Law. This Warrant and the validity and
enforceability hereof shall be governed by and construed and interpreted
in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect
to conflict of laws rules or choice of laws rules thereof.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned hereby executes this Stock
Purchase Warrant as of the date first written above.
UNIVIEW TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
By:
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, President
NOTICE OF EXERCISE
To: uniView Technologies Corporation (the "Company")
(1) The undersigned ("Holder") hereby elects to exercise its rights
to purchase __________________________ shares of the Common Stock of the
Company (the "Securities") pursuant to the terms of the attached Warrant,
and tenders herewith payment of the purchase price in full, together with
all applicable transfer taxes, if any.
(2) Please issue a certificate or certificates representing the
Securities in the name of the undersigned Holder:
_______________________________
(Name)
_______________________________
(Address)
(3) With respect to the Securities being purchased hereunder, the
Holder makes, as of the date hereof, all of the representations and
warranties set forth below:
(a) Xxxxxx is aware of the Company's business affairs and
financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the
Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the
Securities. Holder is purchasing these Securities for its own account
for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in
connection with, any "distribution" thereof for purposes of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act").
(b) Holder understands that the Securities have not been
registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption
therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona
fide nature of its investment intent as expressed herein. In this
connection, Xxxxxx understands that, in the view of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the statutory basis for such exemption may
be unavailable if its representation was predicated solely upon a present
intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period
specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an
increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a
period of one year or any other fixed period in the future.
(c) Holder further understands that the Securities must be
held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act
or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. In
addition, Xxxxxx understands that the instruments or certificates
evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits
the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such
registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company.
(d) Xxxxxx is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated
under the Securities Act, which in substance, permits limited public
resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly, from
the issuer thereof (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public
offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including,
among other things: the availability of certain public information about
the Company; the resale occurring not less than one year after the party
has purchased and paid for the securities to be sold; the sale being made
through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in
transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and the amount of
securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the
specified limitations stated therein.
(e) Holder further understands that at the time Holder wishes
to sell the Securities there may be no public market upon which to make
such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists the
Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirements
of Rule 144, and that, in such event, Holder could be precluded from
selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the one-year minimum
holding period had been satisfied.
(f) Holder further understands that in the event all of the
requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the
Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration
exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule
144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that
persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a
registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a
substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from
registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons
and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so
at their own risk.
