COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
To Purchase __________ Shares of Common Stock of
XXXXXX.XXX, INC.
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the "Warrant") certifies that, for
value received, _____________ (the "Holder"), is entitled, upon the terms and
subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth,
at any time on or after the date hereof (the "Initial Exercise Date") and on or
prior to the close of business on the [_____(1) (the "Termination Date") but not
thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from XXXXxx.xxx, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), up to ______ shares (the "Warrant Shares") of
Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock").
The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be
equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated December ____, 2005, among the
Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by
this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or
after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by
delivery to the Company of a
____________________
(1) Five year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date as to Long Term Warrants
and the earlier of the 24 month anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date or the
12 month anniversary of the Effective Date as to Short Term Warrants.
1
duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto
(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, within 5 Trading
Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, if
this Warrant is exercised in full, the Holder shall have surrendered this
Warrant to the Company and the Company shall have received payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer
or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of
the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised
in full. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a
portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall
have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares
purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of
Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records
showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such
purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of
Exercise Form within 1 Business Day of receipt of such notice. In the event
of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be
controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder
and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree
that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase
of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares
available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the
amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price of the Common Stock under this
Warrant shall be $_____(2), subject to adjustment hereunder (the "Exercise
Price").
c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time after one year from the date of
issuance of this Warrant there is no effective Registration Statement
registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the
Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at
such time by means of a "cashless exercise" in which the Holder shall be
entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such
election;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash
exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
______________________
(2) $0.85 as to Short Term Warrants and $1.00 as to Long Term Warrants.
2
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination
Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise
pursuant to this Section 2(c).
d) Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of
this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion
of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2(c) or otherwise, to the extent that
after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, such Holder (together
with such Holder's affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a
group together with such Holder or any of such Holder's affiliates), as set
forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, would beneficially own in
excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For
purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates shall include the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but
shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable
upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant
beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise
or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other
securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other
Debentures or Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise
analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such
Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by a
Holder that the Company is not representing to such Holder that such
calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
such Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in
accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this
Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is
exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of
which a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole
discretion of a Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be
deemed to be each Holder's determination of whether this Warrant is
exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of
which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to such
aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation
to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a
determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section
2(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a
Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as
reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as
the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or
(z) any other notice by the Company or the Company's Transfer Agent setting
forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or
oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm
orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise
of securities of the Company, including this
3
Warrant, by such Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The "Beneficial
Ownership Limitation" shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Beneficial
Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d) may be waived by such
Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days' prior
notice to the Company to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to
9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise
of this Warrant, and the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall continue to
apply. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be waived by such Holder. The
provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise
than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct
this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or
inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein
contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to
properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this
paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
e) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Authorization of Warrant 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 the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant, 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).
ii. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for
shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent
of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's
prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system if the Company is a
participant in such system, and otherwise by physical delivery to the
address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within 3
Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of
Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant (if required) and payment of
the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above ("Warrant Share
Delivery Date"). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised
on the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company. The Warrant
Shares 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 the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the
Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if
any, pursuant to Section 2(e)(vii) prior to the issuance of such
shares, have been paid.
4
iii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant
shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request
of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the
time of delivery of the 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.
iv. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer
agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 2(e)(iv) by
the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right
to rescind such exercise.
v. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver
Certificates Upon Exercise. 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
Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share
Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its
broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares
of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of
the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such
exercise (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall (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 Warrant Shares that the Company 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 Warrant 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 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 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 Xxxxxx's right to pursue any other remedies available to
it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect
to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of
5
Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the
terms hereof.
vi. 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 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.
vii. 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.
viii. 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.
f) Call Provision. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(d) and this
Section 2(f), if, after the Effective Date (i) the VWAP for each of 30
consecutive Trading Days (the "Measurement Period", which 30 Trading Day
period shall not have commenced until after the Effective Date) exceeds
300% of the then Exercise Price (subject to adjustment for forward and
reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like after
the Initial Exercise Date) (the "Threshold Price") and (ii) the average
daily volume for any Threshold Period, which Threshold Period shall have
commenced only after the Effective Date, exceeds 100,000 shares of Common
Stock per Trading Day (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock
splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like after the Initial
Exercise Date), then the Company may, within one Trading Day of the end of
such period, call for cancellation of all or any portion of this Warrant
for which a Notice of Exercise has not yet been delivered (such right, a
"Call"). To exercise this right, the Company must deliver to the Holder an
irrevocable written notice (a "Call Notice"), indicating therein the
portion of unexercised portion of this Warrant to which such notice
applies. If the conditions set forth below for such Call are satisfied from
the period from the date of the Call Notice through and including the Call
Date (as defined below), then any portion of this Warrant subject to such
Call Notice for which a Notice of Exercise shall not have been received by
the Call Date will be cancelled at 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the
tenth Trading Day after the date the Call Notice is received by the Holder
(such date, the "Call Date"). Any unexercised
6
portion of this Warrant to which the Call Notice does not pertain will be
unaffected by such Call 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 Call Notice that are tendered
through 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date. The parties agree
that any Notice of Exercise delivered following a Call Notice shall first
reduce to zero the number of Warrant Shares subject to such Call Notice
prior to reducing the remaining Warrant Shares available for purchase under
this Warrant. For example, if (x) this Warrant then permits the Holder to
acquire 100 Warrant Shares, (y) a Call Notice pertains to 75 Warrant
Shares, and (z) prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date
the Holder tenders a Notice of Exercise in respect of 50 Warrant Shares,
then (1) on the Call Date the right under this Warrant to acquire 25
Warrant Shares will be automatically cancelled, (2) the Company, in the
time and manner required under this Warrant, will have issued and delivered
to the Holder 50 Warrant Shares in respect of the exercises following
receipt of the Call Notice, and (3) the Holder may, until the Termination
Date, exercise this Warrant for 25 Warrant Shares (subject to adjustment as
herein provided and subject to subsequent Call Notices). Subject again to
the provisions of this Section 2(f), the Company may deliver subsequent
Call Notices for any portion of this Warrant for which the Holder shall not
have delivered a Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Warrant, the Company may not deliver a Call
Notice or require the cancellation of this Warrant (and any Call Notice
will be void), unless, from the beginning of the 20th consecutive Trading
Days used to determine whether the Common Stock has achieved the Threshold
Price through the Call Date, (i) the Company shall have honored in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant all Notices of Exercise delivered
by 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date, (ii) the Registration
Statement shall be effective as to all Warrant Shares and the prospectus
thereunder available for use by the Holder for the resale of all such
Warrant Shares and (iii) the Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for
trading on the Trading Market, and (iv) there is a sufficient number of
authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance of all Securities under the
Transaction Documents, and (v) the issuance of the shares shall be in
accordance with Section 2(d) herein. The Company's right to Call the
Warrant shall be exercised ratably among the Holders based on each Holder's
initial purchase of Common Stock.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a
distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other
equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock
(which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common
Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Warrant), (B) subdivides
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C)
combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by
reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock
of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by
a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before
such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of
7
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately adjusted. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a)
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective
date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) Subsequent Equity Sales.
i. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall offer, sell, grant
any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to reprice
its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any
offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to
acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less
than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the "Base Share Price"
and such issuances collectively, a "Dilutive Issuance"), as adjusted
hereunder (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of
purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion,
exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options
or rights per share which is issued in connection with such issuance,
be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price
per share which is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall
be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such
date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be
reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price and the number
of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the
aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account
the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price prior to such adjustment.
ii. If the Company or any Subsidiary there, as applicable, at any
time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall offer, sell, grant any
option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to reprice its
securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer,
sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire
shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the
VWAP on either the Trading Day immediately prior to the date
agreements for such issuance are entered into or the date such
issuance is consummated, whichever results in a higher VWAP, but more
than the then effective Exercise Price (which is addressed in 3(b)(i)
above) (such lower price, the "Market Base Price" and such issuances
collectively, a "Market Dilutive Issuance"), as adjusted hereunder (if
the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued
shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments,
reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or
otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is
issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares
of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the
Exercise Price, such issuance
8
shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on
such date of the Market Dilutive Issuance) then the Exercise Price
shall be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the then
effective Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Market Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares of
Common Stock which the aggregate offering price for such Market
Dilutive Issuance would purchase at the then Market Base Price, and
the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Market
Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued
or issuable in connection with the Market Dilutive Issuance and the
number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such
that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into
account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the
aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment..
iii. Such adjustments shall be made whenever such Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 3(b) in
respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder in
writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this section,
indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable
reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms
(such notice the "Dilutive Issuance Notice"). For purposes of
clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance
Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the occurrence of any
Dilutive Issuance or Market Dilutive Issuance, as applicable, after
the date of such Dilutive Issuance or Market Dilutive Issuance, as
applicable, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant
Shares based upon the Base Share Price or the price determined
pursuant to 3(b)(ii), as applicable, regardless of whether the Holder
accurately refers to the Base Share Price or such price determined
pursuant to 3(b)(ii) in the Notice of Exercise.
c) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time prior to the
Termination Date, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not
to Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its indebtedness or assets
(including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for
or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be
subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall
be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be
the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the
numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share
fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or
evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share
of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.
In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided
to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so
distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common
Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such
9
distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the
record date mentioned above.
d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of
all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related
transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other
securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any
reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange
pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or
exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a
"Fundamental Transaction"), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this
Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share
that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder,
(a) 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 any additional consideration (the "Alternate
Consideration") 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 or (b) if the Company is
acquired in an all cash transaction, cash equal to the value of this
Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing
formula. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the
Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate
Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in
respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and
the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate
Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any
different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common
Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be
received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the
same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise
of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent
necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the
Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to
the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and
evidencing the Holder's right to exercise such warrant into Alternate
Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3(d) and
insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be
similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a
Fundamental Transaction.
e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made
to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed
to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the
number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued
and outstanding.
10
f) Voluntary Adjustment By 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.
g) Notice to Holders.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is
adjusted pursuant to this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail
to each Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such
adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment. If the Company issues a variable rate security,
despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company
shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at
which such securities may be converted or exercised in the case of a
Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Xxxxxx. If (A) the Company shall
declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock;
(B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on
or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize
the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or
of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company
shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the
Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a
party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common
Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; (E) the
Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each
case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last
address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company,
at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective
date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the
date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be
entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or
warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share
exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of
which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall
be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share
exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect
therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder
is
11
entitled to exercise this Warrant during the 20-day period commencing
on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event
triggering such notice.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable
securities laws and the conditions set forth in Sections 5(a) and 4(d)
hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase 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. A Warrant, if properly assigned,
may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without
having a new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other
Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in
which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or
attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which
may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or
Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon
records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "Warrant
Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any
distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual
notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this
Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of
this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act 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 (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
12
defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), or (a)(8) promulgated
under the Securities Act or a qualified institutional buyer as defined in
Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) Title to Warrant. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to
compliance with applicable laws and Section 4 of this Warrant, this Warrant
and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the
office or agency of the Company by the Holder in person or by duly
authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant together with the
Assignment Form annexed hereto properly endorsed. The transferee shall sign
an investment letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company.
b) 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 surrender of this
Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or by means of a
cashless exercise), 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 later of the date of such surrender or payment.
c) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company
covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in
case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include
the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such
Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of
such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
d) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for
the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may
be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.
e) Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is
outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common
Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this
Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this
Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are
charged with the duty of 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
13
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, but will at all times in good faith assist
in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such
actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of
Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. 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.
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.
f) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
g) 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.
h) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or
failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Xxxxxx's rights, powers or
remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on
the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to
comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material
damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as
shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate
proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant
hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies
hereunder.
14
i) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or
permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be
delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase
Agreement.
j) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any
affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant or purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder,
shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any
Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
k) Remedies. Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all
rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees
that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and
hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance
that a remedy at law would be adequate.
l) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this
Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the
successors and permitted assigns of 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 or holder of Warrant
Shares.
m) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the
provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the
Holder.
n) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by
or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
o) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience
of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this
Warrant.
