FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the provisions
set forth below, the undersigned, CLEARPOINT BUSINESS RESOURCES,
INC., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”),
hereby certifies that ComVest Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, or its registered assigns (the “
Holder ”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up
to two million two hundred ten thousand eight hundred twenty-five
(2,210,825) fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “
Warrant Shares ”) of the Company’s common stock,
$.0001 par value per share (the “ Common Shares
”), for cash at a price of $.01 per share (the “
Exercise Price ”) at any time and from time to time
from and after the date hereof and until 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time)
on August 31, 2014 (the “ Expiration Date ”)
upon surrender to the Company at its principal office (or at such
other location as the Company may advise the Holder in writing) of
this Warrant properly endorsed with the Notice of Exercise attached
hereto duly filled in and signed and, if applicable, upon payment
in cash or by check of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number
of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised determined in
accordance with the provisions hereof; provided ,
however , that at any time when there shall be any
continuing Event of Default (other than an “Excluded Event of
Default” as defined below) under the Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of August 14, 2009 by and
between ComVest Capital, LLC and the Company (as same may be
amended, modified, supplemented and/or restated from time to time,
the “ Loan Agreement ”), and upon five (5)
Business Days’ notice to the Company, this Warrant shall then
be exercisable for, and the number of Warrant Shares shall in such
circumstances be increased to, a number of Common Shares which,
when aggregated with all Warrant Shares theretofore acquired by
reason of the exercise of this Warrant (and/or any predecessor
Warrant), shall constitute fifty-one (51%) percent of the fully
diluted common stock of the Company at the time of exercise
(calculated after giving pro forma effect to the
exercise of all outstanding options, warrants (including this
Warrant for the full increased amount hereof) or other rights to
acquire common stock of the Company and the conversion or exchange
of all outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities, and in
such event the Exercise Price for such Warrant Shares shall be
$.001 per share. The Exercise Price and the number of
shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 3 of this Warrant. For purposes hereof,
an “Excluded Event of Default” shall mean (i) any Event
of Default arising under Section 7.01(a) of the Loan Agreement
which does not constitute or result in a Material Adverse Effect
(as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement), or (ii) any Event
of Default arising under Sections 7.01(e), 7.01(m) or 7.01(n) of
the Loan Agreement.
This Warrant is issued pursuant to the Loan
Agreement, and expressly supersedes and amends and restates in its
entirety the Warrant No. CV-1 issued by the Company to ComVest
Capital, LLC pursuant to the Original Agreement (as such term is
defined in the Loan Agreement). The Warrant Shares
(including the incremental increase thereof under the preceding
paragraph) are entitled to the benefit of the Registration Rights
Agreement (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement);
provided , however , that the Warrant Shares issuable
pursuant to such incremental increase are only entitled to the
benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an
Excluded Event of Default).
1.1.
Exercise . Upon exercise of this Warrant, the
Exercise Price shall be payable in cash or by check, or at the
Holder’s option, by crediting such Exercise Price to any
Obligation (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) then
owing to the Holder under the Loan Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents described therein. This Warrant may be
exercised in whole or in part so long as any exercise in part
hereof would not involve the issuance of fractional Warrant Shares
or the payment of fractional cents, provided that this Warrant may
not be exercised in part if the exercise is pursuant to the
proviso of the first paragraph of this
Warrant. If exercised in part, the Company shall deliver
to the Holder a new Warrant, identical in form to this Warrant, in
the name of the Holder, evidencing the right to purchase the number
of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant has not been exercised,
which new Warrant shall be signed by an appropriate officer of the
Company. The term “Warrant” as used herein
shall include any subsequent Warrant issued as provided
herein.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it
shall not, at any time prior to the Expiration Date or (if sooner)
the date on which this Warrant has been fully exercised, without
the Holder’s prior written consent in each instance, amend or
modify (or permit to be amended or modified) the Company’s
Organic Documents (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement)
as in effect on the date of this Warrant in any manner which would,
or would reasonably be expected to, (i) constitute or give rise to
a Default or Event of Default (as such terms are defined in the
Loan Agreement), (ii) impair the rights of the Lender (as such term
is defined in the Loan Agreement) under the Loan Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents (as such term is defined in the Loan
Agreement), or (iii) impair any of the rights of the Holder under
this Warrant (including, without limitation, any amendment which
would require the affirmative vote, approval or consent of more
than or other than a simple majority of the outstanding Common
Shares with respect to any matter submitted or required to be
submitted to the stockholders of the Company for
approval).
1.2.
Exercise Procedures; Delivery of Certificate
. Upon surrender of this Warrant with a duly executed
Notice of Exercise in the form of Annex A attached
hereto, together with payment of the Exercise Price for the Warrant
Shares purchased, at the Company’s principal executive
offices (the “ Designated Office ”), the Holder
shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the
Warrant Shares so purchased. The Company agrees that the
Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued to the Holder as
of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall
have been surrendered together with the Notice of Exercise and
payment for such Warrant Shares.
1.3.
Cashless Exercise . Anything elsewhere contained
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in lieu of payment of the
Exercise Price, a Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in
part, by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company,
together with a Cashless Exercise Form in the form attached hereto
as Annex B (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly
executed (a “ Cashless Exercise
”). Such presentation and surrender shall be
deemed a waiver of the Holder's obligation to pay all or any
portion of the Exercise Price, as the case may be. In
the event of a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall exchange this
Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) for that number of
Common Shares determined by multiplying the number of Common Shares
for which this Warrant is being exercised by a fraction, (a) the
numerator of which shall be the difference between (i) the then
current market price per Common Share, and (ii) the Exercise Price,
and (b) the denominator of which shall be the then current market
price per Common Share. For purposes of any computation
under this Section l.3, the then current market price per Common
Share at any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily
trading price for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately
prior to the Cashless Exercise. If, during such
measuring period, there shall occur any event which gives rise to
any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then a corresponding
adjustment shall be made with respect to the closing prices of the
Common Shares for the days prior to the Effective Date of such
adjustment event. As used herein, the term
“trading price” on any relevant date means (A) if the
Common Shares are listed for trading on the New York Stock
Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market, or
the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the closing sale price (or, if no
closing sale price is reported, the last reported sale price) of
the Common Shares (regular way), (B) if the Common Shares are not
so listed but quotations for the Common Shares are reported on the
OTC Bulletin Board, the most recent closing price as reported on
the OTC Bulletin Board, or (C) if the Common Shares are not then
publicly traded, the fair market price of the Company Shares as
determined, in good faith, by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
1.4.
Holder’s Put Option . The provisions of
this Section 1.4 shall only be applicable if and when (i) the
Common Shares shall not be registered under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”),
or (ii) the Company shall have ceased or suspended the filing of
periodic reports under the Exchange Act.
(a) In
the event that and at such time as the Company or any of its
stockholders enters into a binding agreement with respect to any
Sale (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) or (if sooner)
on that date which is thirty (30) days prior to any payment or
required payment in full of the Obligations (as such term is
defined in the Loan Agreement), the Company shall, in addition to
any notice required under the Loan Agreement, give written notice
to the Holder (and/or, if applicable, the holder of the Warrant
Shares) setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances and
material terms of the subject Sale agreement or the pendency of
such payment (as the case may be). Subject to and in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.4, the Holder
shall have the right and option (the “ Put Option
”), exercisable effective at any time upon or after the
consummation of such Sale or payment, or upon and after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as
such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) or any other event or
circumstance which causes, effects or requires any payment in full
under the Loan Agreement (such Sale, payment in full, Maturity Date
or Event of Default, each a “ Triggering Event
”), to require the Company to redeem and purchase, for a cash
purchase price of $2,000,000 (the “ Option Purchase
Price ”), 50% of this Warrant (equivalent to 50% of the
Common Shares that may be issued or have been issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant, including but not limited to the Warrant
Shares) from the Holder (which term, for purposes of this Section
1.4, shall include each holder of Warrant Shares).
(b) The
Put Option shall be exercisable by the Holder providing a completed
Put Option exercise form in the form attached hereto as
Annex C (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly
executed, to the Company at the Designated Office, not less than
ten (10) days prior to the Holder’s required date of payment
as set forth in such exercise form. Upon payment of the
Option Purchase Price by the Company to the Holder, the Holder
shall surrender this Warrant (and/or the certificate(s)
representing the subject Warrant Shares, as applicable) to the
Company, against delivery to the Holder of a replacement Warrant
(and/or certificate(s) representing Warrant Shares, as applicable)
representing the portion of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares (as
applicable) not purchased by the Company hereunder.
(c) In
the event that any proposed Sale, refinancing or repayment which
gave rise to the exercise of the Put Option is abandoned or is not
consummated, then such exercise of the Put Option shall be null and
void ab initio , and the Put Option shall thereafter
be applicable and exercisable in connection with any subsequent
proposed Sale or other Triggering Event, in accordance with this
Section 1.4.
2.
Transfer; Issuance of Stock Certificates; Restrictive
Legends .
2.1.
Transfer . This Warrant may be transferred in
whole (but not in part) by the Holder at any time. Each
transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder shall be
registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such
purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the Designated Office,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant in the form of
Annex D attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney. Upon such surrender and delivery,
the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of
the assignee or assignees. A Warrant may be exercised by
the new Holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a
new Warrant issued. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer thereof, the Company may deem and treat
the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof
(notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing thereon made
by anyone other than a duly authorized officer of the Company) for
all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary. All Warrants issued upon any assignment of
this Warrant shall be the valid obligations of the Company,
evidencing the same rights and entitled to the same benefits as the
Warrant surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange.
2.2.
Stock Certificates . Certificates for the Warrant
Shares shall be delivered to the Holder within five (5) business
days after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been
exercised pursuant to Section 1, and a new Warrant representing the
right to purchase the Common Shares, if any, with respect to which
this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be
issued to the Holder within such time. The issuance of
certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof including,
without limitation, any documentary, stamp or similar tax that may
be payable in respect thereof; provided , however ,
that the Company shall not be required to pay any income tax to
which the Holder hereof may be subject in connection with the
issuance of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares.
2.3.
Restrictive Legend . Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 2, each certificate for Warrant Shares initially issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant and each certificate for Warrant
Shares issued to any subsequent transferee of any such certificate,
shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in
substantially the following form:
“THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR
SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT
OR AN OPINION IN FORM AND FROM COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO
THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED.”
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the legend requirements of this Section 2.3 shall
terminate as to any particular Warrant Shares when (i) such
Warrant Shares are transferred pursuant to an effective resale
registration statement, as contemplated in the Registration Rights
Agreement executed by the Company for the benefit of the Holder
dated as of June 20, 2008, or (ii) the Company shall have
received from the Holder thereof an opinion of counsel in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Company that such legend is
not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities
Act. Whenever the restrictions imposed by this
Section 2.3 shall terminate, the Holder or subsequent
transferee, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive from
the Company without cost to such Holder or transferee a certificate
for the Warrant Shares without such restrictive legend.
