RECEIVED, the undersigned, Victory Divide Mining Company., a Nevada corporation
(together with its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”),
hereby certifies that __________
or its
registered assigns (the “Holder”)
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 Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock (the
“Series
B 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
9
hereof.
1. Term.
The
term of this Warrant shall commence on October 3, 2007 and shall expire
at 6:00
p.m., Eastern Time, on April 2, 2009 (such period being the “Term”
and
such date, the “Termination
Date”).
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 for such number of shares of Series B Stock set forth
above,
which number is equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the number of
shares of
Series B Stock issued by the Issuer to the Holder on the Original Issue
Date
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
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 therefore 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 Holder’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
hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days
after such
exercise (the “Delivery
Date”),
the
Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the
shares
Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise. Upon the
conversion
by the Holder of the Warrant Stock into shares of Common Stock of the
Issuer
(the “Underlying
Common Stock”),
the
Holder may request (provided that a registration statement under the
Securities
Act providing for the resale of the Underlying Common Stock is then in
effect or
that the shares of Underlying Common Stock are otherwise exempt from
registration), that such shares be issued and delivered to the Depository
Trust
Company (“DTC”)
account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
System (“DWAC”)
within
a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise,
and
the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of
the
shares of Underlying Common Stock as of the date of such conversion.
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 conversion is in connection with a sale or other
exemption from registration by which the shares of Underlying Common
Stock 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 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 upon conversion
of the
Warrant Stock, the Issuer fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit
to the
Holder a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Underlying
Common Stock pursuant to such conversionon or before 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 shares of Underlying Common
Stock
which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (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 Underlying Common Stock that
the Issuer
was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the conversion
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 Warrant and equivalent number of shares of Warrant Stock for which
such
conversion was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares
of
Underlying 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 conversion of shares of Underlying
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 Underlying Common Stock upon conversion
of
the Warrant Stock exercised in 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 Holder.
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 and Underlying Common Stock issuable hereunder
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 or Underlying
Common 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.
3
(ii) Except
as
provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates
representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof and,
if
appropriate, the Underlying Common Stock issued upon conversion of the
Warrant
Stock, shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the
following form:
THIS
WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES 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.
(iii) The
Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any
of the
Warrant Stock and Underlying Common 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. 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, (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
effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Issuer has received other
evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification
under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required,
or (iv) the
Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable assurances that such security
can be
sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (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(h), 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).
4
(h) Accredited
Investor Status.
In no
event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in whole or in part unless the Holder
is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities
Act.
3. Stock
Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Stock
Fully Paid.
The
Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of
Warrant
Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise
hereunder, and all shares of Underlying Common Stock which may be issued
upon
the conversion of the Warrant Stock or otherwise hereunder will, when
issued in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly
issued,
fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges
created
by or through the Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that
during
the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will
at all
times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issuance upon
exercise
of this Warrant a number of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred
Stock
equal to at least one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares
of Series B
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations
on exercise, and a number of authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock
equal to at least one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares
of
Underlying Common stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrant
Stock.
(b) Reservation.
If any
shares of Series B Stock or Common Stock required to be reserved for
issuance
upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require
registration or qualification with any Governmental Authority under any
federal
or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in
good faith
use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause
such
shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any
shares
of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its
expense,
list thereon, and maintain and increase when necessary such listing,
of, all
shares of Underlying Common Stock from time to time issued upon conversion
of
the Warrant Stock or as otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such
Underlying Common Stock has been registered pursuant to a registration
statement
under the Securities Act then in effect), and, to the extent permissible
under
the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Underlying
Common Stock which are at any time issuable upon conversion of the Warrant
Stock
hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed.
The Issuer
will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain
such
listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall
be
entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time
any
securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange
or
market by the Issuer.
(c) Covenants.
The
Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending
the
Articles of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer, or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue or
sale of securities or any other 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 the
Holder
hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein)
or
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer
will
(i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the
then
effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the
Articles
of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely
affect the rights of the Holder of the Warrants, (iii) take all such
action as
may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and
legally
issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Preferred Stock, upon exercise
of
this Warrant and Common Stock upon conversion of the Warrant Stock, free
and
clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than
as
provided herein), and (iv) use its best efforts to obtain all such
authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body
having
jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer
to
perform its obligations under this Warrant.
5
(d) Loss,
Theft, Destruction of Warrants.
Upon
receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and
the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any
such
loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory
to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender
and
cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu
of such
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor
and
representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common
Stock.
(e) Payment
of Taxes.
The
Issuer will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial
issuance
of the Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant; provided,
however,
that
the Issuer shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be
payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates
representing Warrant Stock in a name other than that of the Holder in
respect to
which such shares are issued.
4. Adjustment
of Warrant Price.
The
price at which such shares of Warrant Stock may be purchased upon exercise
of
this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set
forth in
this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event
described
below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance
with
the notice provisions set forth in Section 5.
(a) Recapitalization,
Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(i) In
case
the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following
(each, a
“Triggering
Event”):
(a)
consolidate or merge with or into any other Person and the Issuer shall
not be
the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger,
or (b)
permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer
and the
Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection
with such
consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed
into
or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other
property,
or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets
to any
other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification
of its
Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper
provision shall be made to the Warrant Price and the number of shares
of Warrant
Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant so that, upon
the
basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder
of
this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after
the
consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is
not
exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price
in
effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering
Event, in lieu of the Series B issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant
prior
to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which
such Holder
would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event
if such
Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately
prior
thereto (including the right of a shareholder to elect the type of consideration
it will receive upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent
to
such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments
provided for elsewhere in this Section 4; provided,
however,
the
Holder at its option may elect to receive an amount in unregistered shares
of
the common stock of the surviving entity equal to the value of this Warrant
calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes formula; provided,
further,
such
shares of Common Stock shall be valued at a twenty percent (20%) discount
to the
VWAP of the Common Stock for the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately
prior to
the Triggering Event. Immediately upon the occurrence of a Triggering
Event, the
Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing of such Triggering Event and
provide
the calculations in determining the number of shares of Warrant Stock
issuable
upon exercise of the new warrant and the adjusted Warrant Price. Upon
the
Holder’s request, the continuing or surviving corporation as a result of such
Triggering Event shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor
evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted number of shares of Warrant
Stock
and the adjusted Warrant Price pursuant to the terms and provisions of
this
Section 4(a)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this
Section
4(a)(i) shall only apply if the surviving entity pursuant to any such
Triggering
Event is a company that has a class of equity securities registered pursuant
to
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”),
and
its common stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange,
national
automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board. In the event that
the
surviving entity pursuant to any such Triggering Event is not a public
company
that is registered pursuant to the Exchange Act or its common stock is
not
listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated
quotation
system or the OTC Bulletin Board, then the Holder shall have the right
to demand
that the Issuer pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the value
of this
Warrant calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes
formula.
6
(ii) In
the
event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this Warrant prior
to the
consummation of a Triggering Event and has also elected not to receive
an amount
in cash equal to the value of this Warrant calculated in accordance with
the
Black-Scholes formula pursuant to the provisions of Section 4(a)(i) above,
so
long as the surviving entity pursuant to any Triggering Event is a company
that
has a class of equity securities registered pursuant to the Exchange
Act and its
common stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national
automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, the surviving entity
and/or each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver
any
Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided
herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably
satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the
Issuer
under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation
of such
Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall
not release
the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this
Warrant)
and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such Securities, cash
or
property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection
(a),
such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and the surviving entity and/or
each
such Person shall have similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion
of counsel
for the surviving entity and/or each such Person, which counsel shall
be
reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, or in the alternative, a written
acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief Financial Officer
of the
Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force
and
effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the
provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the Securities,
cash
or property which the surviving entity and/or each such Person may be
required
to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights
pursuant hereto.
7
(b) Stock
Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations.
If at
any time the Issuer shall:
(i) make
or
issue or set a record date for the holders of any Preferred Stock for
the
purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other
distribution of, shares of Preferred Stock ,
(ii) subdivide
its outstanding shares of Series B Stock into a larger number of shares
of
Preferred Stock , or
(iii) combine
its outstanding shares of Series B Stock into a smaller number of shares
of
Series B Stock
then
(1)
the number of shares of Series B Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted
to equal
the number of shares of Series B Stock which a record holder of the same
number
of shares of Preferred 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 (2) 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 Series B Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Series
B Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such
adjustment.
(c) Certain
Other Distributions.
If at
any time the Issuer shall make or issue or set a record date for the
holders of
the Preferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any
dividend or
other distribution of:
(i) cash,
(ii) any
evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any
other
securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Preferred
Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Preferred Stock), or
8
(iii) any
warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of
its
indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities
or
property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Preferred Stock Equivalents
or Additional Shares of Preferred Stock),
then
(1)
the number of shares of Series B Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Series
B Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment
multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Per
Share
Market Value of the Underlying Common Stock at the date of taking such
record
and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value
of the
Underlying Common Stock minus the amount allocable to one share of Underlying
Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value
(as
determined by an Independent Appraiser 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 (2) 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 Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Series
B Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
A
reclassification of the Preferred 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
Preferred Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed
a
distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Preferred Stock of such
shares
of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4(c)
and, if the
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be changed into a larger
or smaller
number of shares of Preferred 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 Preferred Stock within the meaning of Section
4(b).
(d) Issuance
of Additional Shares of Preferred Stock.
In the
event the Issuer shall issue any Additional Shares of Preferred Stock
(otherwise
than as provided in the foregoing subsections (a) through (c) of this
Section
4), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price then in effect or
without
consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be
adjusted
to the price equal to the consideration per share paid for such Additional
Shares of Preferred Stock.
(e) Issuance
of Preferred Stock Equivalents.
In the
event the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Preferred
Stock for
the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall
in any
manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer
is the
surviving corporation) issue or sell, any Preferred Stock Equivalents,
whether
or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable,
and the price per share for which Preferred Stock is issuable upon such
conversion or exchange shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, or if, after any
such
issuance of Preferred Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which
Additional Shares of Preferred Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended
or
adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than the Warrant
Price in
effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the Warrant
Price then
in effect shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4(d). No further adjustments
of the number of shares of Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable
and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made upon the actual issue
of such
Preferred Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Preferred Stock
Equivalents.
9
(f) Other
Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section.
The
following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments
of the
number of shares of Series B Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
and the
Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4:
(i) Computation
of Consideration.
To the
extent that any Additional Shares of Preferred Stock or any Preferred
Stock
Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefore) shall be issued
for cash
consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefore shall
be the
amount of the cash received by the Issuer therefore, or, if such Additional
Shares of Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock Equivalents are offered
by the
Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional
Shares
of Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters
or
dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial
public
offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable
for
accrued interest or accrued dividends and without taking into account
any
compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for
and in
the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof).
In
connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Issuer is the
surviving
corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of the Issuer shall be changed
to or
exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation),
the amount
of consideration therefore shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as
determined
reasonably and in good faith by the Board, and acceptable to the Holder,
of such
portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as
the Board
may determine to be attributable to such shares of Preferred Stock or
Preferred
Stock Equivalents, as the case may be. The consideration for any Additional
Shares of Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other
rights to
subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received
by the
Issuer for issuing such warrants or other rights plus the additional
consideration payable to the Issuer upon exercise of such warrants or
other
rights. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Preferred Stock
issuable
pursuant to the terms of any Preferred Stock Equivalents shall be the
consideration received by the Issuer for issuing warrants or other rights
to
subscribe for or purchase such Preferred Stock Equivalents, plus the
consideration paid or payable to the Issuer in respect of the subscription
for
or purchase of such Preferred Stock Equivalents, plus the additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Issuer upon the exercise of the
right of
conversion or exchange in such Preferred Stock Equivalents. In the event
of any
consolidation or merger of the Issuer in which the Issuer is not the
surviving
corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock of
the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other
securities
of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially
all
of the assets of the Issuer for stock or other securities of any corporation,
the Issuer shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its
PreferredStock for stock or securities or other property of the other
corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which
the
transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair
market
value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities
or other
property of the other corporation. In the event any consideration received
by
the Issuer for any securities consists of property other than cash, the
fair
market value thereof at the time of issuance or as otherwise applicable
shall be
as determined in good faith by the Board. In the event Preferred Stock
is issued
with other shares or securities or other assets of the Issuer for consideration
which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section
4(g)(i) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined
in
good faith by the Board.
10
(ii) When
Adjustments to Be Made.
The
adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as
often as
any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that
any
adjustment of the number of shares of Series B Stock for which this Warrant
is
exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except
in the
case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Preferred Stock,
as
provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise
if such
adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously
made adds
or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of the shares of Series B Stock
for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of
such
adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum
amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward
and
made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required
by
this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment
or
on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified
event
shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date
of its
occurrence.
(iii) Fractional
Interests.
In
computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Series
BStock shall be taken into account to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100th)
of
a share.
(iv) When
Adjustment Not Required.
If the
Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Preferred Stock for
the purpose
of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription
or
purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to
stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such
dividend,
distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment
shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such
adjustment
previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
(v) Form
of Warrant after Adjustments.
The
form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in
the
Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the
exercise
of this Warrant.
(vi) Escrow
of Warrant Stock.
If
after any property becomes distributable pursuant to this Section 4 by
reason of
the taking of any record of the holders of Preferred Stock, but prior
to the
occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, and the Holder
exercises
this Warrant, any shares of Series B Stock issuable upon exercise by
reason of
such adjustment shall be deemed the last shares of Preferred Stock for
which
this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any other provision to the
contrary
herein) and such shares or other property shall be held in escrow for
the Holder
by the Issuer to be issued to the Holder upon and to the extent that
the event
actually takes place, upon payment of the current Warrant Price. Notwithstanding
any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such
record
was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall
be
cancelled by the Issuer and escrowed property returned.
11
5. Notice
of Adjustments.
Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted
pursuant to
Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an “adjustment”),
the
Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute
a
certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring
the
adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment
was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board
made any
determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number
after
giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate
to
be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment.
Any
dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect
to the
matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder
of this
Warrant be submitted to an Independent Appraiser, provided that the Issuer
shall
have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection
of
such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another
such
firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of objection. The Independent
Appraiser selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding
sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such
matters to
the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after submission to
it of
such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties
hereto. The
reasonable expenses of the Independent Appraiser in making such determination
shall be paid by the Issuer, in the event the Holder's calculation was
correct,
or by the Holder, in the event the Issuer’s calculation was correct, or equally
by the Issuer and the Holder in the event that neither the Issuer's or
the
Holder's calculation was correct.
6. Fractional
Shares.
No
fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with
any
exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall
round
the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the nearest whole
number
of shares.
7. Ownership
Cap and Exercise Restriction.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at
no time
may a Holder of this Warrant exercise this Warrant if the number of shares
of
Series B Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would exceed, when
aggregated with all other shares of Series B Stock owned by such Holder
at such
time, the number of shares of Series B Stock which would result in such
Holder
beneficially owning, upon conversion of the Series B Stock (as determined
in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder)
in
excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock;
provided,
however,
that
upon a holder of this Warrant providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61)
days
notice (pursuant to Section 13 hereof) (the “Waiver
Notice”)
that
such Holder would like to waive this Section 7 with regard to any or
all shares
of Series B Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section
7 will be
of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Warrant
referenced
in the Waiver Notice; provided,
further,
that
this provision shall be of no further force or effect during the sixty-one
(61)
days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this
Warrant.

Holder of this Warrant is entitled to the benefit of certain registration
rights
