SECTION
2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT
(a) Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised
by the Holder hereof then registered on the books of the Company,
in whole or in part, at any time on any Business Day on or after
the opening of business on the date hereof and prior to 11:59 P.M.
New York City time on the Expiration Date by (i) delivery of a
written notice, in the form of the exercise notice attached as
Exhibit A hereto (the "Exercise Notice"), of the Holder's
election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the
number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, (ii) (A) payment to the
Company of an amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price multiplied
by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being
exercised (the "Aggregate Exercise Price") by wire transfer of
immediately available funds or by certified or official bank check
payable to the order of the Company or (B) by notifying the Company
that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless
Exercise (as defined in Section 2(e)), and (iii) if required by
Section 2(f) or unless the Holder has previously delivered this
Warrant to the Company and it or a new replacement Warrant has not
yet been delivered to the Holder, the surrender to a common carrier
for overnight delivery to the Company as soon as practicable
following such date, of this Warrant (or an indemnification
undertaking, in customary form, with respect to this Warrant in the
case of its loss, theft or destruction pursuant to Section 10);
provided, that if such Warrant Shares are to be issued in any name
other than that of the registered Holder of this Warrant, such
issuance shall be deemed a transfer and the provisions of Section 7
shall be applicable. In the event of any exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant in compliance with this Section 2(a),
on the second (2nd) Business Day (the "Warrant Share Delivery
Date") following the date of its receipt of the Exercise Notice,
the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of Cashless Exercise) and
if required by Section 2(f) (or unless the Holder has previously
delivered this Warrant to the Company and it or a new replacement
Warrant has not yet been delivered to the Holder), this Warrant (or
an indemnification undertaking, in customary form, with respect to
this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction pursuant
to Section 10) (the "Exercise Delivery Documents"), (A) provided
that the transfer agent is participating in The Depository Trust
Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and
provided that the Holder is eligible to receive shares through DTC
as they would relate to this Warrant, the Company shall credit such
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder
shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account
with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or
(B) the Company shall issue and deliver to the address specified in
the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the
Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to
which the Holder shall be entitled. Upon the later of the date of
delivery of (x) the Exercise Notice and (y) the Aggregate Exercise
Price referred to in clause (ii)(A) above or notification to the
Company of a Cashless Exercise referred to in Section 2(e), the
Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the Holder
of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant
has been exercised (the date thereof being referred to as the
"Deemed Issuance Date"), irrespective of the date of delivery of
this Warrant as required by clause (iii) above or the certificates
evidencing such Warrant Shares. In the case of a dispute as to the
determination of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Weighted Average
Price of a security or the arithmetic calculation of the number of
Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the
number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall
submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to
the Holder via facsimile within two (2) Business Days after receipt
of the Holder's Exercise Notice. If the Holder and the Company are
unable to agree upon the determination of the Warrant Exercise
Price, the Weighted Average Price or arithmetic calculation of the
number of Warrant Shares within three (3) Business Days of such
disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to
the Holder, then the Company shall immediately submit via facsimile
the disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or the
Weighted Average Price to an independent, reputable investment
banking firm agreed to by the Company and the Holder. The Company
shall cause at its sole and exclusive expense the investment
banking firm to perform the determinations or calculations and
notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than
three (3) Business Days after the time it receives the disputed
determinations or calculations. Such investment banking firm's
determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed
conclusive absent error.
(b) If this
Warrant is submitted for exercise, as may be required by Section
2(f), and unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have
expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as
soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business
Days after receipt of this Warrant (the "Warrant Delivery Date")
and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all
respects to this Warrant exercised except it shall represent rights
to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately
prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of
Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant is exercised
(together with, in the case of a Cashless Exercise, the number of
Warrant Shares surrendered in lieu of payment of the Exercise
Price).
(c) No
fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common
Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or
down to the nearest whole number (with 0.5 rounded up).
(d) If the
Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason (x) to issue and
deliver to the Holder within three (3) Business Days of receipt of
the Exercise Delivery Documents a certificate for the number of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled or to credit
the Holder's balance account with DTC for such number of shares of
Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's
exercise of this Warrant or (y) to issue and deliver to the Holder
on the Warrant Delivery Date a new Warrant for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to Section
2(b) hereof, if any, then the Company shall, in addition to any
other remedies under this Warrant or the Loan Agreement or
otherwise available to the Holder, pay as additional damages in
cash to the Holder on each day after such third (3rd) Business Day
that such shares of Common Stock are not issued and delivered to
the Holder, in the case of clause (x) above, or such third (3rd)
Business Day that such Warrant is not delivered, in the case of
clause (y) above, an amount equal to the sum of (i) 0.5% of the
product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to
the Holder on or prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Date and (B)
the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Warrant Share
Delivery Date, in the case of the failure to deliver Common Stock,
and (ii) if the Company has failed to deliver a Warrant to the
Holder on or prior to the Warrant Delivery Date, 0.5% of the
product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant as of the Warrant Delivery Date, and (y)
the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Warrant
Delivery Date; provided that in no event shall: (i) cash damages
accrue pursuant to this Section 2(d) during the period, if any, in
which any Warrant Shares are the subject of a bona fide dispute
that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in
compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the
dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(a); or (ii) cash damages
accrue in the aggregate to an amount exceeding twelve percent (12%)
of the product of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to
this Warrant and the original Exercise Price for the Common Stock
subject to this Warrant. Alternatively, subject to the dispute
resolution provisions of Section 2(a), at the election of the
Holder made in the Holder's sole discretion, the Company shall pay
to the Holder, in lieu of the additional damages referred to in the
preceding sentence (but in addition to all other available remedies
that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Loan Agreement),
110% of the amount that (A) the Holder's total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions, if any) for shares of Common
Stock purchased to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale by the
Holder of the shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is
entitled but has not received upon an exercise, exceeds (B) the net
proceeds received by the Holder from the sale of the shares of
Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled but has not received
upon such exercise.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the Holder may at any time prior to the Expiration Date,
at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise this
Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment
otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise
in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to
receive upon such exercise the "Net Number" of shares of Common
Stock determined according to the following formula (a "Cashless
Exercise"):
Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)
For purposes of the foregoing
formula:
|
|
|
the total
number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised;
|
|
|
|
the arithmetic
average of the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on each
of the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the
date of the delivery of the Exercise Notice; and
|
|
|
|
the Warrant
Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at
the time of such exercise.
|
(f) Book-Entry . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth herein, upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the
terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender this Warrant to the Company unless it is being exercised
for all of the Warrant Shares represented by the Warrant. The
Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of
Warrant Shares exercised and issued and the dates of such exercises
or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of
this Warrant upon each such exercise. In the event of any dispute
or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing the number
of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled shall be
controlling and determinative in the absence of demonstrable error.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Warrant is exercised as
aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Warrant unless the
Holder first physically surrenders this Warrant to the Company,
whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the
order of the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor, registered as the
Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining
number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant. The Holder
and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and
agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph,
following exercise of any portion of this Warrant, the number of
Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant may be less than the
number stated on the face hereof. Each Warrant shall bear the
following legend:
ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS WARRANT SHOULD CAREFULLY
REVIEW THE TERMS OF THIS WARRANT, INCLUDING SECTION 2(f) HEREOF.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT MAY BE LESS THAN THE
NUMBER SET FORTH ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 2(f)
HEREOF.
SECTION
3. COVENANTS AS TO COMMON STOCK
The Company hereby covenants and agrees as
follows:
(a) This
Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for or
replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized
and validly issued.
(b) All
Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of
payment therefor from the Holder (including pursuant to a Cashless
Exercise, as applicable), be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with
respect to the issue thereof.
(c) During
the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved at least 150% of the number of shares of Common Stock
needed to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented
by this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall effect
the Amendment no later than 180 days following the date of this
Warrant. Should the Company fail to effect the Amendment within
such time period, then the number of shares to be purchased under
this warrant shall be increased by 2% for each 30 day period
thereafter that the Company fails to effect the
Amendment.
(d) If, and
so long as, any shares of Common Stock shall be listed on any
securities exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or other
quotation system or trading market, the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be so listed or
quoted; and the Company shall so list (or cause to be quoted) on
such exchange, quotation system or market, and shall maintain such
listing or quotation of, any other shares of capital stock of the
Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long
as any shares of the same class shall be listed or quoted on such
securities exchange, or quotation system or market.
(e) The
Company will not, by amendment of its articles 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 to be observed or performed by it
hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not
increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant above $0.0001 per share, and (ii)
will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant.
(f) This
Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company
by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all
of the Company's assets.
The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may
be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant
Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.
SECTION
5. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A SHAREHOLDER
No Holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be
entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of
shares of the Company for any purpose (other than to the extent
that the Holder is deemed to be a beneficial holder of shares under
applicable securities laws after taking into account the limitation
set forth in the first paragraph of this Warrant), nor shall
anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the
Holde
