FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, the undersigned, GULFSTREAM INTERNATIONAL GROUP,
INC., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns,
the “Issuer”), hereby certifies that
______________________________________________ (the “Initial
Holder”) or his or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for
and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to
__________________________ (______) shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter
provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant
Price then in effect, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section
7 hereof.
1. Term. The term of
this Warrant shall commence on the Date of Issuance hereof and shall expire at
5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on March 31, 2013 (such period being the
“Term”).
2.
Method of Exercise; Payment;
Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Time of Exercise. The
purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part
during the Term.
1
(b) Method of Exercise.
The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by the
surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed)
at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an
amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the
date of such exercise multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock with
respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at such Xxxxxx's
election by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account
designated by the Issuer.
(c) Issuance of Stock
Certificates. In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in accordance
with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the shares
of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and
delivered to the Holder’s Prime Broker as specified in the Holder’s exercise
form within a reasonable time, not exceeding five (5) Trading Days after such
exercise (the “Delivery
Date”) or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration
statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock
is then in effect or that the shares of Warrant Stock are otherwise exempt from
registration), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
System (“DWAC”) when
available, within a reasonable time, not exceeding five (5) Trading Days after
such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the
holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such
exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer or its
transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the
DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a sale
or other exemption from registration by which the shares may be issued without a
restrictive legend and the Issuer and its transfer agent are participating in
DTC through the DWAC system. The Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or
an indemnification reasonably acceptable to the Issuer undertaking with respect
to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, at such time that
this Warrant is fully exercised. With respect to partial exercises of this
Warrant, the Issuer shall keep written records for the Holder of the number of
shares of Warrant Stock exercised as of each date of exercise.
(d) Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any
other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails to cause its transfer
agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the
Warrant Stock pursuant to an exercise on or before the second business day
following the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by
its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant
Stock which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”),
then the Issuer shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the
Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (A) the number of shares of Warrant Stock that the Issuer was
required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times
(B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation
was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion
of the Warrant and equivalent number of shares of Warrant Stock for which such
exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued had the Issuer timely complied with its
exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an
aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under
clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Issuer shall be required to
pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together
with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the
Issuer. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies
available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the
Issuer’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
2
(e) Transferability of
Warrant. Subject to Section
2(g) hereof, this Warrant may be transferred by a Holder, in whole or in
part, without the consent of the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this
paragraph, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the
Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this
Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder
executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any
necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer.
This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants
to purchase the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new
Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant
Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All
Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date
and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares of
Warrant Stock issuable pursuant thereto.
(f) Continuing Rights of
Xxxxxx. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after each
exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in
writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such
Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such
exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided
that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall
not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such
Holder.
(g) Compliance with Securities
Laws.
(i) The
Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and
the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired
solely for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other party,
and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise
dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon
exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an
exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws.
(ii) Except
as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates
representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be
stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
THIS
WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH
SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
3
(iii) The
Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the
Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above, if at such time, prior to
making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice
to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer and demonstrating
that the following conditions are satisfied. Such proposed transfer will not be
effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration of
such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such
proposed transfer, or (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act
covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Issuer with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and has become and remains effective under
the Securities Act, or (b) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that registration
or qualification under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state is not
required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with
applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws has been effected or a valid
exemption exists with respect thereto. The Issuer will respond to any such
notice from a holder within three (3) Trading Days. In the case of any proposed
transfer under this Section
2(g), the Issuer will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such
applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be
required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then
qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general
service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply
with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by
coordination is unavailable to the Issuer. The restrictions on transfer
contained in this Section
2(g) shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other
restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant.
Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required to be issued
to the Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates
representing the Warrant Stock, the Issuer shall cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Warrant Stock to the Holder by crediting the account
of the Holder or Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through its DWAC system (to the
extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Warrant or the Purchase
Agreement).
(h) Accredited Investor
Status. At the time of the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder (1) shall
be an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act,
or (2) shall exercise this Warrant by means of a cashless exercise as provided
for in Section 2(c).
3. Adjustment of Warrant
Price. The Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
as set forth in this Section
3. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below
which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section
3 in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section
13.
(a) Adjustments for Stock
Splits, Combinations, Certain Dividends and Distributions. If
the Issuer shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue
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 Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A)
the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment
divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
4
(b) Adjustment for Other
Dividends and Distributions. If the Issuer shall, at any time or from
time to time after the Original Issue 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 Per Share Market Value of
Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (2) the denominator of which
shall be such Per Share Market Value 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 and supported by an opinion from an
investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the Issuer and the Holder) 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 Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (1) the
Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment
divided by (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 and shares of any
other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer 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 Original
Issue 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 Warrant
Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Warrant
Price or otherwise) so that, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the
Holder shall have the right to receive, in lieu of Warrant 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.
5
(d) Adjustments for
Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets. If at any time
or from time to time after the Original Issue Date there shall be a capital
reorganization of the Issuer (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 Issuer with or into another
corporation where the holders of the Issuer’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 Issuer's
properties or assets to any other person (an “Organic
Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change an appropriate revision
to the Warrant Price shall be made if necessary and provision shall be made if
necessary (by adjustments of the Warrant Price or otherwise) so that, upon any
subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive,
in lieu of Warrant Stock, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities or property of the Issuer 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 Warrant 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. In any such case, the resulting or
surviving corporation (if not the Issuer) shall expressly assume the obligations
to deliver, upon the exercise of this Warrant, such securities or property as
the Holder shall be entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions hereof, and
to make provisions for the protection of the rights of the Holder as provided
above.
(e) No Impairment. The
Issuer shall not, by amendment of 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 to be observed or performed
hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
the provisions of this Section
3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order to protect against impairment the right of the Holder to exercise this
Warrant. In the event the Holder shall elect to exercise this Warrant, in whole
or in part, as provided herein, the Issuer cannot refuse exercise based on any
claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such holder has
been engaged in any violation of law, unless (i) the Issuer receives an order
from the Securities and Exchange Commission prohibiting such exercise or (ii) an
injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and/or adjoining exercise of this
Warrant.
(f) Certificates as to
Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the
Warrant Price or number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable pursuant to this Section
3, the Issuer at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a
certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Issuer shall,
upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and
readjustments, the Warrant Price in effect at the time, and 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 the exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless
such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent
of such adjusted amount; if the Issuer so postpones delivering a certificate,
such prior adjustment shall be carried forward and made as soon as such
adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section
3 and not previously made, would result in an adjustment of one percent
or more.
(g) Issue Taxes. The
Issuer shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or
local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of
shares of Common Stock on exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the
Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any
transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such
conversion.
6
(h) Fractional Shares. No
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant.
In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be
entitled, the Holder shall round the number of shares to be issued upon exercise
up to the nearest whole number of shares.
(i) Reservation of Common
Stock. The Issuer shall, during the period within which this Warrant may
be exercised, reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued
Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant,
such number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to
time be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant.
(j) Retirement of this
Warrant. Exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected
on the date of exercise hereof. Upon exercise of this Warrant only in part, the
Issuer shall issue and deliver to the Holder, at the expense of the Issuer, a
new Warrant covering the unexercised balance of the Warrant Shares.
(k) Regulatory
Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose
of exercise of this Warrant require registration or listing with or approval of
any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any
federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be
validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Issuer shall, at its sole cost
and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure
such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.
4. No Preemptive Rights.
The Holder shall not be entitled to rights to subscribe for, purchase or receive
any part of any new or additional shares of any class, whether now or
hereinafter authorized, or of bonds or debentures, or other evidences of
indebtedness convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any class, but all
such new or additional shares of any class, or any bond, debentures or other
evidences of indebtedness convertible into or exchangeable for shares, may be
issued and disposed of by the Board on such terms and for such consideration (to
the extent permitted by law), and to such person or persons as the Board in its
absolute discretion may deem advisable.
5. Exercise Restriction.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time
may the Holder exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, if the number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would cause the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
affiliates at such time, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates at such time, result in the
Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder) in
excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock
outstanding at such time; provided, however, that upon
the Holder providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to
Section
13 hereof) (the "Waiver
Notice") that the Holder would like to waive Section
5 of this Warrant with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable, this Section
5 shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares referenced
in the Waiver Notice.
6. Registration
Rights.
The
Holder of this Warrant is entitled to the benefit of certain registration rights
with respect to the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant, pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement, of even date
herewith, by and among the Issuer and Persons listed on Schedule I thereto (the
“Registration
Rights Agreement”) and the registration rights with respect to the shares
of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant by any subsequent

property, assets or business (except a merger or other reorganization in which
the Issuer shall be the surviving corporation and its shares of Capital Stock
shall continue to be outstanding and unchanged and except a consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or other disposition involving a wholly-owned
Subsidiary); or
(vi) there
shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of
the Issuer or any partial liquidation of the Issuer or distribution to holders
of Common Stock;
then, in
each of such cases, the Issuer shall give written notice to the Holder of the
date on which (i) the books of the Issuer shall close or a record shall be taken
for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or (ii) such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be, shall take place.
Such notice also shall specify the date as of which the holders of Common Stock
of record shall participate in such dividend, distribution or subscription
rights, or shall be entitled to exchange their certificates for Common Stock for
securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, disposition, dissolution, liquidation
or winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice shall be given at least twenty
(20) days prior to the action in question and not less than ten (10) days prior
to the record date or the date on which the Issuer's transfer books are closed
in respect thereto. This Warrant entitles the Holder to receive copies of all
financial and other information distributed or required to be distributed to the
holders of the Common Stock.

11. Amendment and Waiver.
Any term, covenant, agreement or condition in this Warrant may be amended, or
compliance therewith may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance
and either retroactively or prospectively), by a written instrument or written
instruments executed by (a) the Issuer, (b) the Initial Holder (assuming the
Initial Holder still owns all or part of this Warrant), and (c) the Holders of
twenty-five percent (25%) of the Warrants, the calculation of which shall
include the Initial Holder’s percentage of ownership of the Warrants; provided,
however,
that no such amendment or waiver shall reduce the Warrant Share Number, increase
the Warrant Price, shorten the period during which this Warrant may be exercised
or modify any provision of this Section
11 without the consent of the Holder of this Warrant. No consideration
shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or
modification of any provision of this Warrant unless the same consideration is
also offered to all holders of the Warrants.
12. 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. This Warrant shall
not be interpreted or construed with any presumption against the party causing
this Warrant to be drafted. The Issuer and the Holder agree that venue for any
dispute arising under this Warrant will lie exclusively in the state or federal
courts located in New York County, New York, and the parties irrevocably waive
any right to raise forum non
conveniens or any other argument that New York is not the proper venue.
The Issuer and the Holder irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in the
state and federal courts of the state of New York. The Issuer and the Holder
consent to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it
under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section
12 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law. The Issuer and the Holder hereby agree that the prevailing
party in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, shall be entitled to reimbursement for
reasonable legal fees from the non-prevailing party. The parties hereby waive
all rights to a trial by jury.
13. Notices. All notices
and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given
if delivered personally or by facsimile or three (3) business days following
being mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return-receipt
requested, addressed to the holder of record at its address appearing on the
books of the Issuer. The Issuer will give written notice to the Holder at least
twenty (20) calendar days prior to the date on which the Issuer closes its books
or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the
Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of
Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic
Change, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and in no event shall such notice
be provided to such holder prior to such information being made known to the
public. The Issuer will also give written notice to the Holder at least twenty
(20) days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up will take place and in no event shall such notice be
provided to such holder prior to such information being made known to the
public. The addresses for such communications shall be as is set forth in the
Purchase Agreement. Any party hereto may from time to time change its address
for notices by giving written notice of such changed address to the other party
hereto.
11
14. Warrant Agent. The
Issuer may, by written notice to each Holder of this Warrant, appoint an agent
having an office in New York, New York for the purpose of issuing shares of
Warrant Stock on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to subsection (b) of
Section
2 hereof, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to subsection (d) of Section
2 hereof or replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section
15 hereof, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance,
exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by
such agent.
15. Lost or Stolen
Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to the
Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in
the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by
the Holder to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver new Warrant
of like tenor and date; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be obligated to re-issue warrant(s) if the Holder
contemporaneously exercise this Warrant to purchase shares of Common
Stock.
16. Remedies, Characterizations,
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, at law or in equity (including a decree of
specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy contained herein
shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such
remedy and nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages
for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. Amounts
set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the
like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the
Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to
any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). 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 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.
17. Specific Shall Not Limit
General; Construction. No specific provision contained in this Warrant
shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein. This Warrant
shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all initial purchasers
of the Warrant and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter
hereof.
18. Successors and
Assigns. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Issuer, the
Holder hereof and (to the extent provided herein) the Holders of Warrant Stock
issued pursuant hereto, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder or Holder of
Warrant Stock.
19. Modification and
Severability. If, in any action before any court or agency legally
empowered to enforce any provision contained herein, any provision hereof is
found to be unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed modified to the
extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency. If any such
provision is not enforceable as set forth in the preceding sentence, the
unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the other provisions of this
Warrant, but this Warrant shall be construed as if such unenforceable provision
had never been contained herein.
12
20. Headings. The
headings of the Sections of this Warrant are for convenience of reference only
and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
