Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in

Form annexed hereto properly endorsed. The transferee shall sign an
investment letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company.

2. Authorization of
Shares. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which
may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant will, upon exercise of such purchase rights in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Warrant, including, without limitation, payment of the
Exercise Price, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with
such issue).
3. Exercise of
Warrant.
(a) Exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made at any time or
times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination
Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice
of Exercise Form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise Form”), at
the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it
may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of
such Holder appearing on the books of the Company); provided, however, the Holder
shall also have surrendered the original of this Warrant to the Company and the
Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price
of the Warrant Shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check
drawn on a United States bank. Certificates for shares purchased
hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder promptly following the latest to
occur of delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of
this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth
above. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and the
Warrant Shares (to which the exercise relates) shall be deemed to have been
issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall
be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as
of the date of the latest to occur of (i) delivery to the Company of the Notice
of Exercise Form, (ii) surrender of this Warrant and (iii) payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above and all taxes required to be paid by
the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 5 (“Exercise Date”).
(b) If
this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time
of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares,
deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the
unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall
in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
3
(c) Subject
to the provisions of this Section 3, if there
is (i) a currently effective Registration Statement registering the resale of
the Warrant Shares by the Holder, and (ii) the weighted average of the closing
Market Price of the Common Stock during a period of twenty (20) consecutive
Trading Days (the “Measurement
Period,” which period shall not have commenced until the first Trading
Day after such Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the
SEC) equals or exceeds $1.70 (the “Threshold Price”) (subject to
adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock
combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after
the date of the Subscription Agreement), then the Company may, within fifteen
(15) Trading Days of such period or event, redeem all or any portion of this
Warrant for which a Notice of Exercise has not yet been delivered at a price of
$.01 per share of Common Stock (such right, a “Redemption”). To
exercise this right, the Company must deliver to the Holder an irrevocable
written notice (a “Redemption
Notice”), indicating therein the unexercised portion of this Warrant to
which such notice applies. Deposit of such Redemption Notice with a
recognized courier service, a recognized overnight delivery service or with the
U.S. Postal Service (via certified or registered mail) in accordance with
Section 17(d) within the above fifteen (15) Trading Day period shall be
considered a timely Redemption. If the conditions set forth above for
such Redemption are satisfied, from the period from the date of the Redemption
Notice through and including the Redemption Date (as defined below), then any
portion of this Warrant subject to such Redemption Notice for which a Notice of
Exercise, the original Warrant certificate and the applicable aggregate Exercise
Price shall not have been received from and after the date of the Redemption
Notice will be cancelled at 6:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the thirtieth (30th)
calendar day after the date the Redemption Notice is sent to the Holder (such
date, the “Redemption
Date”). Any unexercised portion of this Warrant to which the
Redemption Notice does not pertain will be unaffected by such Redemption
Notice. In furtherance thereof, the Company covenants and agrees that
it will honor all Notices of Exercise with respect to Warrant Shares subject to
a Redemption Notice that are tendered, with the original of this Warrant
certificate and the applicable aggregate Exercise Price, from the time of
delivery of the Redemption Notice through 6:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the
Redemption Date. The parties agree that any Notice of Exercise
delivered following a Redemption Notice shall first apply to the Warrant Shares
subject to such Redemption Notice prior to applying to the remaining Warrant
Shares available for purchase under this Warrant. Subject again to
the provisions of this Section 3(c), the
Company may deliver subsequent Redemption Notices for any portion of this
Warrant for which the Holder shall not have delivered a Notice of
Exercise. The Company’s right to redeem the Warrant shall be
exercised ratably among all holders of warrants issued pursuant to Subscription
Agreements entered into as part of the same financing.
(d) If
as of six (6) months following the Initial Exercise Date, there is not a
currently available Registration Statement permitting the resale of all of the
Warrant Shares issuable under this Warrant at the time a Notice of Exercise Form
is delivered to the Company (either due to the inability of the Company to
either have the SEC declare such Registration Statement effective on or prior to
such date or to maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement for
the duration of the period prescribed in the Registration Statement), the Holder
may initiate a cashless exercise (a “Cashless Exercise”), as
hereinafter provided. The Holder may effect a Cashless Exercise by
surrendering this Warrant to the Company and noting on the Notice of Exercise
Form that the Holder wishes to effect a Cashless Exercise, upon which the
Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as
follows:
4
X = Y x
(A-B)/A
where:
X = the
number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;
Y = the
number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being
exercised;
A = the
Market Price as of the Exercise Date; and
B = the
Exercise Price.
For
purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, it is intended and acknowledged
that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be
deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the
Warrant Shares required by Rule 144 shall be deemed to have been commenced, on
the date this Warrant was originally issued by the Company.
4. No Fractional Shares or
Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase
upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such
final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise
Price.
5. Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be
made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other
incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which
taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be
issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by
the Holder; provided, however, that in the
event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the
name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be
accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder;
and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum
sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
6. Closing of
Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or
records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.
7. Transfer, Division and
Combination.
(a) Subject
to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth
in Sections 1
and 7(e) hereof
and in the Subscription Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company, together with a written assignment of this
Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable
upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if
required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or
denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the
assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned,
and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.
5
(b) This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants (if such other Warrants
are upon the same terms, other than number of Warrant Shares, as this Warrant)
upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a
written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are
to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject
to compliance with Section 7(a), as to
any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company
shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant
or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such
notice.
(c) The
Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense (other than transfer
taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section
7.
(d) The
Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office, books for the registration
and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
(e) The
Holder acknowledges that it has been advised by the Company that this Warrant
and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise hereof (collectively the “Securities”) have not been
registered under the Securities Act, that the Warrant is being issued, and the
shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant will be issued, on the basis of the
statutory exemption provided by section 4(2) of the Securities Act relating to
transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, and that the
Company’s reliance upon this statutory exemption is based in part upon the
representations made by the Holder contained herein. The Holder acknowledges
that he has been informed by the Company of, or is otherwise familiar with, the
nature of the limitations imposed by the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder on the transfer of securities. In particular, the Holder
agrees that no sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities shall be valid or
effective, and the Company shall not be required to give any effect to any such
sale, assignment or transfer, unless (i) the sale, assignment or transfer of the
Securities is registered under the Securities Act, and the Company has no
obligations or intention to so register the Securities except as may otherwise
be provided herein, or (ii) the Securities are sold, assigned or transferred in
accordance with all the requirements and limitations of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or such sale, assignment, or transfer is otherwise exempt from
registration under the Securities Act. The Holder represents and
warrants that he has acquired this Warrant and will acquire the Securities for
his own account for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution
thereof or the granting of any participation therein, and that he has no present
intention of distributing or selling to others any of such interest or granting
any participation therein. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in
connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall
not be registered pursuant to an effective Registration Statement and under
applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a
condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this
Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Company (which opinion shall be in form, substance
and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the
effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder
or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form
and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities
Act or a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the
Securities Act.
6
(f) The
Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares shall bear the following
legend:
“These
securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of
l933. Such securities may not be sold or offered for sale,
transferred, hypothecated or otherwise assigned in the absence of an effective
registration statement with respect thereto under such Act or an opinion of
counsel to the Company that an exemption from registration for such sale, offer,
transfer, hypothecation or other assignment is available under such
Act.”
8. No Rights as Shareholder
until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the
exercise hereof. Upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant
Shares so purchased shall be, and be deemed to be, issued to such Holder as the
record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the Exercise Date
with respect to such exercise.
9. Loss, Theft, Destruction or
Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt
by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make
and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in
lieu of such Warrant.
10. Business
Days. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any
action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a
Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on
the next succeeding Business Day.
11. Adjustments of Exercise
Price and Number of Warrant Shares; Stock Splits, etc.
(a) Stock Dividends and Distributions,
Stock Splits and Reclassifications
The
number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and
the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
happening of any of the following. In case the Company shall (i) pay
a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common
Stock to holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of
the Common Stock, then the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record
date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such
subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted.
Any adjustment made herein that result in a decrease (or increase) in the
Exercise Price shall also result in a proportional increase (or decrease) in the
number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable.
Successive adjustments in the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares shall
be made whenever any event specified above shall occur. An adjustment made
pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the
effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such
event.
7
(b) Adjustments
upon Reduction of Conversion Rate of Preferred Stock
If at any
time during the period commencing on the Initial Exercise Date and up to the
Termination Date, any event occurs (other than as described in Section 11(a) of
this Warrant) which results in a reduction of the then-current Conversion Rate
of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Subscription
Agreement (the “Preferred Stock”) (a “Dilutive Adjustment
Event”), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so as to equal 150% of
the reduced Conversion Rate of the Preferred Stock. Such adjustment shall be
made whenever a Dilutive Adjustment Event occurs. In the event that at any time,
as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 11, each
Holder shall, upon exercise of such Holder’s Warrants, become entitled to
receive securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever
appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to
refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and
thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 11. Any
adjustment made herein that results in a decrease in the Exercise Price shall
also effect a proportional increase in the number of shares of Common Stock into
which this Warrant is exercisable.
12. Reorganization,
Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of
Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital,
reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another
corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there
is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company),
or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose all or substantially all of its property,
assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of
assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any
cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever
(including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or
in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be
received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then
the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this
Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other
Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets (“Extraordinary Transaction”),
the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall
expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and
every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the
Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such
modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by
resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for
adjustments of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall
be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Section
12. As soon as commercially practicable following the
Extraordinary Transaction, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than
the Company), shall deliver to Holder a new warrant in repacement of this
Warrant consistent with the provisions referenced in the immediately preceding
sentence against receipt by such successor or acquiring corporation of the
original of this Warrant. For purposes of this Section 12, “common
stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such
corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over
any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to
redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock
or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such
stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the
happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for
or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12 shall
similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers,
consolidations or disposition of assets.
8
13. Voluntary Adjustment by the
Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this
Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period
of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
14. Notice of
Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or
kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall
give prior written notice thereof to the Holder of at least 15 days prior to the
date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record for determining the
particular event, which notice shall state the number of Warrant Shares (and
other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and
the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other securities or property)
after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was
made.
15. Notice of Corporate
Action. If at any time:
(a) the
Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, or any right to
subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock
of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right,
or
(b) there
shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or
merger of the Company with (other than a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the surviving corporation), or any sale, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the
Company to, another corporation, or
9
(c) there
shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the Company;
then, in
any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at least
fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall
be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights
to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii)
in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation,
sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least
fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take
place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall
specify (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of
such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common
Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the
amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the
time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to exchange their Warrant Shares for securities or other
property deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed
to Holder at the last address of Xxxxxx appearing on the books of the Company
and delivered in accordance with Section
17(d).
16. Authorized
Shares. The Company covenants that during the period the
Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common
Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant (the “Required
Minimum”). If, on any date, the number of authorized but
unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the
Required Minimum on such date, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or
articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock to at least the number of shares of Common Stock that
would result from the full exercise of the Warrant Shares at such time, as soon
as possible and in any event not later than the 75th day after such
date. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant
shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of
executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for
the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this
Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be
necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein
without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of
the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not
by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of
incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in
par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary
to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.
10
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the
Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents
thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof.
17. Miscellaneous.
(a) Governing Law. This
Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws
of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflicts of law principles
thereof. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree that any suit or
proceeding arising directly and/or indirectly pursuant to or under this Warrant,
shall be brought solely in a federal or state court located in the State of
Delaware. By its execution hereof, the parties hereby covenant and irrevocably
submit to the in personam jurisdiction
of the federal and state courts located in the State of Delaware and agree that
any process in any such action may be served upon any of them personally, or by
certified mail or registered mail upon them or their agent, return receipt
requested, with the same full force and effect as if personally served upon them
in the State of Delaware. The parties hereto waive any claim that any
such jurisdiction is not a convenient forum for any such suit or proceeding and
any defense or lack of in
personam jurisdiction with respect thereto.
(b) Restrictions. The
Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state
and federal securities laws.
(c) Nonwaiver and Attorneys’
Fees. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise
any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such
right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies,
notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination
Date. If any action, suit, arbitration or other proceeding for the
enforcement of this Warrant is brought with respect to or because of an alleged
dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the
provisions hereof, the successful or prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in that proceeding,
in addition to any other relief to which it or he may be entitled.
