The term “Holder” shall
initially refer to Partners for Growth, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership, which is the initial holder of this Warrant and shall
further refer to any subsequent permitted holder of this Warrant
from time to time.
The Holder is subject to certain
restrictions as set forth in the Agreement.
The Company does hereby certify and
agree that, for the agreed sum of $1531.00 and for other good and
valuable consideration, the Holder, or its permitted successors and
assigns, hereby is entitled to purchase from Bioject Medical
Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) Two Hundred Thousand
(200,000) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable shares of its Common Stock, no par value, upon the
terms and subject to the provisions of this Warrant. The shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are referred to
herein as the “Warrant Stock,” and the Warrant and the
Warrant Stock are sometimes together referred to as the
“Securities.”
Section
1.
Term, Price and Exercise of Warrant.
1.1
Term of Warrant . This Warrant shall be exercisable for a
period of five (5) years after the date hereof (hereinafter
referred to as the “Expiration Date”).
1.2
Exercise Price . The price per share at which the
Warrant Stock is issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
One Dollar and Thirty-Seven Cents ($1.37), subject to adjustment
from time to time as set forth herein (the “Exercise
Price”).
1.3
Exercise of Warrant .
(a) This
Warrant may be exercised or converted, in whole or in part, upon
surrender to the Company at its then principal offices in the
United States of this Warrant to be exercised, together with the
form of election to exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A duly
completed and executed, and upon payment to the Company of the
Exercise Price for the number of shares of Warrant Stock in respect
of which this Warrant is then being exercised.
(b) Payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price may be made (i) in cash or by
cashier’s or bank check or (ii) by converting this Warrant
through a Cashless Exercise (as defined herein). Upon a
“Cashless Exercise” the Holder shall receive Warrant
Stock on a net basis such that, without the payment of any funds,
the Holder shall surrender this Warrant in exchange for the number
of shares of Warrant Stock equal to “X” (as defined
below), computed using the following formula:
Where
|
X
|
|
=
|
|
the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be
issued to Holder.
|
|
Y
|
|
=
|
|
the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be
exercised under this Warrant
|
|
A
|
|
=
|
|
the Fair Market Value of one share of Common
Stock.
|
|
B
|
|
=
|
|
the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of
such calculations).
|
(c) For purposes
of this Warrant, the “Fair Market Value” of one share
of Warrant Stock shall be (i) if the Company’s common stock
(the “Common Stock”) is or becomes listed on a national
stock exchange or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the product of (A)
the highest closing sale price reported on such exchange or market
for the 90-day period prior to the earlier of the day Holder
delivers its Election of Exercise to the Company or the date of
determination of Fair Market Value and (B) the number of shares of
Common Stock into which a share of Warrant Stock is convertible at
the time of such exercise, or (ii) if the Common Stock is traded
over-the-counter, the product of (A) the highest closing bid price
for the Common Stock over the 90-day period immediately prior to
the earlier of the day Holder delivers its Election of Exercise to
the Company or the date of determination of Fair Market Value and
(B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which one share of
Warrant Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise. If
the Common Stock is not traded as contemplated in clauses (i) or
(ii), above, the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Warrant
Stock shall be the price per share which the Company could obtain
from a willing buyer for shares of Warrant Stock sold by
the
Company from its authorized but
unissued shares, as the Board of Directors of the Company shall
determine in its reasonable good faith judgment. In the event
that Holder elects to convert the Warrant Stock through Cashless
Exercise in connection with a transaction in which the Warrant
Stock is converted into or exchanged for another security, Holder
may effect a Cashless Exercise directly into such other
security. Notwithstanding the right of the Holder to effect a
Cashless Exercise, the Company may require Holder to exercise this
Warrant for cash if the Warrant Stock is registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, may be traded by Holder without restriction
under SEC rules and regulations and applicable law and such
freely-tradable Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
is delivered within three (3) Business Days of Holder’s
exercise.
(d) Subject to
Section 2 hereof, upon surrender of this Warrant, and the duly
completed and executed form of election to exercise, and payment of
the Exercise Price or conversion of this Warrant through Cashless
Exercise, the Company shall issue and deliver within three (3)
business days to the Holder or such other person as the Holder may
designate in writing a certificate or certificates for the number
of shares of Warrant Stock so purchased upon the exercise or
conversion of this Warrant. Such certificate or certificates shall
be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be
named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of
such Warrant Stock as of the date of the surrender of this Warrant,
and the duly completed and executed form of election to exercise,
and payment of the Exercise Price or conversion of this Warrant
through Cashless Exercise; provided, that if the date of surrender
of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price is not a business
day, the certificates for the Warrant Stock shall be issued as of
the next business day (whether before or after the Expiration
Date), and, until such date, the Company shall be under no duty to
cause to be delivered any certificate for such Warrant Stock or for
shares of such other class of capital stock. If this Warrant
is exercised or converted in part, a new warrant of the same tenor
and for the number of shares of Warrant Stock not exercised or
converted shall be executed by the Company.
1.4
Fractional Interests . The Company shall not be required to
issue fractions of shares of Warrant Stock upon the exercise of
this Warrant. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock
would be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (or any portion
thereof), the Company shall purchase such fraction for an amount in
cash equal to the same fraction of the last reported sale
price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ National Market System or
any other national securities exchange or market on which the
Common Stock is then listed or traded.
1.5
Automatic Conversion upon Expiration . In the event
that, upon the Expiration Date, the fair market value of one share
of Common Stock (or other security issuable upon the exercise
hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above is
greater than the Exercise Price in effect on such date, then this
Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be
converted pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Warrant Stock (or
such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been
exercised or converted, and the Company shall promptly deliver a
certificate
representing the Warrant Stock (or
such other securities) issued upon such conversion to the
Holder.
Section
2.
Exchange and Transfer of Warrant.
(a) This Warrant may be
transferred, in whole or in part, without restriction, subject to
(i) the Holder’s delivery of an opinion of counsel in
customary form that such transfer is in compliance with applicable
securities laws and (ii) the transferee holder of the new Warrant
assumes in writing the obligations of the Holder set forth in the
Agreement. A transfer may be registered with the Company by
submission to it of this Warrant, together with the annexed
Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and
executed. After the Company’s receipt of this Warrant and the
Assignment Form so completed and executed, the Company will issue
and deliver to the transferee a new warrant (representing the
portion of this Warrant so transferred) at the same Exercise Price
per share and otherwise having the same terms and provisions as
this Warrant, which the Company will register in the new
holder’s name. In the event of a partial transfer of
this Warrant, the Company shall concurrently issue and deliver to
the transferring holder a new warrant that entitles the
transferring holder to purchase the balance of this Warrant not so
transferred and that otherwise is upon the same terms and
conditions as this Warrant. Upon the due delivery of this
Warrant for transfer, the transferee holder shall be deemed for all
purposes to have become the holder of the new warrant issued for
the portion of this Warrant so transferred, effective immediately
prior to the close of business on the date of such delivery,
irrespective of the date of actual delivery of the new warrant
representing the portion of this Warrant so transferred.
(b) In the event of the
loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, the Company shall
execute and deliver an identical new warrant to the Holder in
substitution therefor upon the Company’s receipt of (i)
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such event and
(ii) if requested by the Company, an indemnity agreement reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company. In the
event of the mutilation of or other damage to the Warrant, the
Company shall execute and deliver an identical new warrant to the
Holder in substitution therefor upon the Company’s receipt of
the mutilated or damaged warrant.
(c) The Company shall pay
all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the exercise,
exchange, transfer or replacement of this Warrant, including,
without limitation, the costs of preparation, execution and
delivery of a new warrant and of share certificates representing
all Warrant Stock; provided, that the Holder shall pay all stamp
and other transfer taxes payable in connection with the transfer or
replacement of this Warrant.
Section
3.
Certain Covenants.
(a) The Company shall at
all times reserve for issuance and keep available out of its
authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
providing for the exercise of this Warrant, such number of shares
of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient
therefor.
(b) The Company will not,
by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or through
reorganization, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, sale of assets
or otherwise, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms of this Warrant. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any
shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise and (ii) will take all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
Section
4.
Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Shares of Warrant
Stock.
4.1 Adjustments .
In order to prevent dilution of the rights granted hereunder, the
Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in
accordance with this Section 4. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Holder shall
thereafter be entitled to acquire upon exercise, at the Exercise
Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company obtainable by multiplying the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number
of shares of Common Stock acquirable immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the new Exercise
Price resulting from such adjustment.
4.2 Subdivisions,
Combinations and Share Dividends . If the Company shall at any
time subdivide by split-up or otherwise, its outstanding Common
Stock into a greater number of shares, or issue additional Common
Stock as a dividend, bonus issue or otherwise with respect to any
Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such subdivision or share dividend or bonus issue shall be
proportionately reduced. Conversely, in case the outstanding Common
Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of
shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately increased.
4.3. Reorganization,
Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets . If
any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock,
or consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with
another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its
assets to another corporation shall be effected in such a way that
holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive shares,
securities, cash or other property with respect to or in exchange
for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or sale,
lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder
shall have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this
Warrant (or at the option of the Holder, shall have the right to
receive a new and equivalent Warrant for) such shares, securities,
cash or other property issuable or payable (as part of the
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation,
merger or sale) with respect to or in exchange for such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as would have been received upon
exercise of this Warrant at the Exercise Price then in effect. The
Company will not effect any such
consolidation, amalgamation, merger
or sale unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor
corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such
consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets
shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver such
shares, securities or assets that the Holder may be entitled to
purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If a
purchase, tender or exchange offer is made to and accepted by the
holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock of the
Company, the Company shall not effect any consolidation,
amalgamation, merger or sale with the person having made such offer
or with any Affiliate of such person, unless prior to the
consummation of such consolidation, merger or sale the Holder shall
have been given a reasonable opportunity to then elect to receive
upon the exercise of this Warrant either the shares, securities or
assets then issuable with respect to the Common Stock of the
Company or the shares, securities or assets, or the equivalent,
issued to previous holders of the Common Stock in accordance with
such offer. For purposes hereof the term “Affiliate”
with respect to any given person shall mean any person controlling,
controlled by or under common control with the given
person.
4.4. Notices of
Record Date, Etc . In the event that:
(1) declare or propose to
declare any dividend upon its capital stock, whether payable in
cash, property, stock or other securities and whether or not a
regular cash dividend, or
(2) offer for sale any
additional shares of any class or series of the Company’s
capital stock or securities exchangeable for or
