NEWCARDIO, INC.
WARRANT NO. - __ -
Warrant Shares:
[_______] Issue
Date September 15, 2009
Initial
Exercise Date: March 14, 2010
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “
Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received,
_____________ (the “ Holder ”) is entitled, upon
the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the
conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date
that is 180 days after date hereof (the “ Initial Exercise
Date ”) and on or prior to the close of business on the
five (5) year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “
Termination Date ”) but not thereafter, to subscribe
for and purchase from NewCardio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“ Company ”), up to ______ shares (the “
Warrant Shares ”) of Common Stock, par value $0.001
per share; provided , however , that the five (5)
year period set forth above as the Termination Date shall be
extended for the number of days during such period in which trading
in the Common Stock is suspended by any Trading Market, but in no
event later than February 28, 2015. The purchase price
of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to
the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1 .
Definitions . Capitalized terms used and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that
certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase
Agreement ”), dated as of September 11, 2009, among the
Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
a)
Exercise of Warrant
. Exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole
or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise
Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the
Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the
address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a
duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed
hereto; and, within three (3) Trading Days of the date said Notice
of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have
received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares
thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn
on a United States bank and, if this Warrant is exercised in full,
the Holder shall have surrendered this Warrant to the Company or,
if available, pursuant to the cashless exercise procedure specified
in Section 2(c) below. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has
purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the
Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three
(3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is
delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this
Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of
Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of
lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant
Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall
maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and
the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver
any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within 1 Business Day
of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any
assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree
that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the
purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number
of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given
time may be less than the amount stated on the face
hereof. For this purpose, the Company’s
records shall be conclusively binding on any transferee or
assignee.
b) Exercise
Price . The exercise price per share of the Common
Stock under this Warrant shall be $1.20, subject to adjustment
hereunder (the “ Exercise Price ”).
c) Cashless
Exercise . In lieu of exercising this Warrant by the
payment of cash, this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in
part, by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the
Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of
Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B)
(X)] by (A), where:
|
|
|
the
closing price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately
preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant
by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the
applicable Notice of Exercise;
|
|
(B) =
|
the Exercise
Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
|
|
(X)=
|
the number of
Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were
by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless
exercise.
|
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically
exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section
2(c).
d) Mechanics of
Exercise .
i. Delivery of
Certificates Upon Exercise . Certificates for shares
purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to
the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime
broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission (“ DWAC ”) system if
the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A)
there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the
issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares
by Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale without
restriction pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical
delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of
Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the
latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise
Form, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (C) payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by
cashless exercise, if permitted) (such date, the “ Warrant
Share Delivery Date ”). This Warrant shall be
deemed to have been exercised on the first date on which all of the
foregoing have been delivered to the Company. The
Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or
any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed
to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes,
as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the
Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if
permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any,
pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares,
having been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to
the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares subject to a
Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company
shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as
a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such
exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the
applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to
$20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated
damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant
Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder
rescinds such exercise.
ii. Delivery of New
Warrants Upon Exercise . If this Warrant shall have
been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a
Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time
of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant
Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of
Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by
this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be
identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission
Rights . If the Company fails to cause the Transfer
Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the
Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the right
to rescind such exercise.
iv. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon
Exercise . In addition to any other rights available
to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to
transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or
before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the
Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm
otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which
the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “
Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to
the Holder the amount, if any, 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 (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the
Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with
the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order
giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at
the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the
Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such
exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be
deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely
complied with its exercise and delivery obligations
hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In
with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock
with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase
obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of
such loss. 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
Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required
pursuant to the terms hereof.
v. No Fractional
Shares or Scrip . No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the
Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise,
the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction
multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole
share.
vi. Charges, Taxes
and Expenses . Issuance of certificates for Warrant
Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance
of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid
by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name
of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the
Holder; provided , however , that in the event
certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other
than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for
exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached
hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as
a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse
it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
vii. Closing of
Books . The Company will not close its stockholder
books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise
of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
e) Holder’s
Exercise Limitations . The Company shall not effect
any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right
to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or
otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance
after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise,
the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any
other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of
the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For
purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being
made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which
would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised
portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of
its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised
or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any other Common Stock
Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise
analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by
the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in
the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e),
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is
not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in
compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is
solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in
accordance therewith. To the extent that the
limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by the Holder together with any
Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable
shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission
of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by the Holder together with any
Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in
each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the
Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy
of such determination. In addition, a
determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For
purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the
Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with
the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by
the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral
request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days
confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving
effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the
date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership
Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of
the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the
issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’
prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e),
provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event
exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the
Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to
apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be
effective until the 61 st day
after such notice is delivered to the Company. The
provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in
a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this
Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof)
which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial
Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or
supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such
limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply
to a successor holder of this Warrant.
