INNOVACOM, INC.
WARRANT
Dated: January 14, 1999
InnovaCom, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies
that, for value received, JNC Strategic Fund Ltd., or its registered assigns
("Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from
the Company up to a total of 187,500 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per
share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company (each such share, a "Warrant Share"
and all such shares, the "Warrant Shares") at an exercise price equal to $.50
per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 8, the "Exercise
Price"), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and
through and including January 14, 2004 (the "Expiration Date"), and subject to
the following terms and conditions:
1. Registration of Warrant. 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, and the Company shall not be affected
by notice to the contrary.
2. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
(a) The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant
in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of
Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at the
office specified in or pursuant to Section
2
3(b). Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common
Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a "New
Warrant"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued
to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this
Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.
The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the
acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder
of a Warrant.
(b) This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender
hereof by the Holder
to the office of the Company specified in or pursuant to Section 3(b) for one or
more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number
of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder. Any such New Warrant
will be dated the date of such exchange.
3. Duration and Exercise of Warrants.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder on any
business day before 5:30 P.M., New York City time, at any time and from time to
time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At 5:30
P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not
exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value. Prior to the
Expiration Date, the Company may not call or otherwise redeem this Warrant
without the prior written consent of the Holder.
(b) Subject to Sections 2(b), 6 and 9, upon surrender of this Warrant, with
the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto duly completed and signed, to
the Company at its address for notice set forth in Section 11 and upon payment
of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder
intends to purchase hereunder, in the manner provided hereunder, all as
specified by the Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall
promptly (but in no event later than 3 business days after the Date of Exercise
(as defined herein)) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or
upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may
designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise,
free of restrictive legends, except in the event that a Registration Statement
(as defined herein) is not then effective or, if this Warrant shall have been
issued pursuant to a written agreement between the original Holder and the
Company, other than as required by such agreement. Any person so designated by
the Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of
record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant.
A "Date of Exercise" means the date on which the Company shall have
received (i) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), with the Form of
Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached to such New Warrant)
appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price
for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the holder hereof to be
purchased.
(c) This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its entirety or, from
time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. If less than all
of the Warrant Shares which
3
may be purchased under this Warrant are exercised at any time, the Company shall
issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right
to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which no exercise has
been evidenced by this Warrant.
4. Piggyback Registration Rights. During the term of this
Warrant, the Company may not file any registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (other than registration statements of the Company filed
on Form S-8 or Form S-4, each as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to which the Company is registering
securities pursuant to a Company employee benefit plan or pursuant to a merger,
acquisition or similar transaction including supplements thereto, but not
additionally filed registration statements in respect of such securities) at any
time when there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale
of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder
(a "Registration Statement"), unless the Company provides the Holder with not
less than 20 days notice to each of the Holder and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx LLP, attention Xxxx X. Xxxxx, notice of its intention to file
such registration statement and provides the Holder the option to include any or
all of the applicable Warrant Shares therein. The piggyback registration rights
granted to the Holder pursuant to this Section shall continue until all of the
Holder's Warrant Shares have been sold in accordance with an effective
registration statement or upon the Expiration Date. The Company will pay all
registration expenses in connection therewith.
5. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary stamp
taxes attributable to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this
Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration
of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of
the Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued
or deliver or cause to be delivered the certificates for Warrant Shares unless
or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid
to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Holder shall be
responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or
transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
6. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and
substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and
indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to it. Applicants for a New Warrant under
such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.
7. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it
will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to
issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
4
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any
other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking
into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 8). The Company
covenants that all Warrant Shares that shall be so issuable and deliverable
shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in
accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and
fully paid and nonassessable.
8. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from
time to time as set forth in this Section 8. Upon each such adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 8, the Holder shall thereafter prior to
the Expiration Date be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting
from such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares obtained by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment.
(a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) shall
pay a stock dividend (except scheduled dividends paid on outstanding preferred
stock as of the date hereof which contain a stated dividend rate) or otherwise
make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock (as defined
below) or on any other class of capital stock and not the Common Stock) payable
in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combine outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, 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 before such event and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 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 or combination, and shall apply to successive
subdivisions and combinations.
(b) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation
or merger of the Company with or into another person, the sale or transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities,
cash or property, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise
this Warrant only into the shares of stock and other securities and property
receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, and
the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of
securities or property equal to the amount of Warrant Shares such Holder would
have been entitled to had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior
to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share
exchange. The terms of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share
exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the
right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section 8(b) upon
5
any exercise following any such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange.
(c) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall
distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to holders of this Warrant)
evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for
or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in Sections 8(a), (b) and
(d)), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be determined 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 Exercise Price determined as of
the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such
Exercise Price on such record date less the then 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 Common Stock as determined by
a nationally recognized or major regional investment banking firm or firm of
independent certified public accountants of recognized standing (which may be
the firm that regularly examines the financial statements of the Company) (an
"Appraiser") mutually selected in good faith by the holders of a majority in
interest of the Warrants then outstanding and the Company. Any determination
made by the Appraiser shall be final.
(d) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall
issue or cause to be issued rights or warrants to acquire or otherwise sell or
distribute shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the
Exercise Price then in effect, then, forthwith upon such issue or sale, the
Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price (calculated to the nearest cent)
determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto
by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, and (ii)
the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received
(or to be received, assuming exercise or conversion in full of such rights,
warrants and convertible securities) for the issuance of such additional shares
of Common Stock would purchase at the Exercise Price, and the denominator of
which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after the issuance of such additional shares. Such adjustment shall
be made successively whenever such an issuance is made.
(e) For the purposes of this Section 8, the following
clauses shall also be applicable:
(i) Record Date. In case the Company shall take a record of the
holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or in securities
convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, or (B) to subscribe for
or purchase Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into shares
of Common Stock, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the
issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold
upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution
or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the
case may be.
6
(ii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for
the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be
considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(f) All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to
the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
(g) If:
(i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution)
on its Common Stock; or
(ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on
or a redemption of its Common Stock; or
(iii) 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; or
(iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required
in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company,
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, or any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property; or
(v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the affairs of the Company,
then the Company shall cause to be mailed to each Holder at their last addresses
as they shall appear upon the Warrant Register, at least 30 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 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 Common Stock of
record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property
7
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; provided, however, 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.
9. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Exercise
Price in one of the following manners:
(a) Cash Exercise. The Holder shall deliver immediately available funds;
or
(b) Cashless Exercise. The Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the
Company together with a notice of cashless exercise, in which event the Company
shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
X = Y (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 average of the closing sale prices of the
Common Stock for the five (5) trading days
immediately prior to (but not including) the Date
of Exercise.
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended,
understood 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 shall be deemed to have been
commenced, on the issue date.
10. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue
or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.
The number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant
Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any fraction of
a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 10, be issuable
on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal
to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
11. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or
deliveries hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective
on the earliest of (i) the date of
8
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile telephone number specified in this Section prior to 4:30 p.m. (New
York City time) on a business day, (ii) the business day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile telephone number specified in this Section later than 4:30 p.m. (New
York City time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on
such date, (iii) the business day following the date of mailing, if sent by
nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by
the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses for such
communications shall be: (i) if to the Company, to 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx
Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, or to Facsimile No. (000) 000-0000, Attention: Chief
Financial Officer, or (ii) if to the Holder, to the Holder at the address or
facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or such other address or
facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with
this Section 11.
12. Warrant Agent.
(a) The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon
thirty (30) days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant
agent.
(b) Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent
may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.
13. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Warrant may
be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder.
(b) Subject to Section 13(a), above, nothing in this Warrant shall be
construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Company and the
Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause under this Warrant. This
Warrant shall inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the
Holder and their successors and assigns.
(c) This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof.
(d) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part
of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the
provisions hereof.
9
(e) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be
invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the
remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a
valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable
substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute
provision in this Warrant.
