Whereas

Warrants are sold with other securities—[title of such other

one or more warrants (the “ Warrants ”
or, individually, a “ Warrant ”)

Now
Therefore , in
consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS AND
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF WARRANT
CERTIFICATES
1.1
Issuance Of Warrants . [If Warrants
alone—Upon issuance, each Warrant Certificate shall evidence
one or more Warrants.] [If Other Securities and
Warrants—Warrant Certificates shall be [initially] issued in
connection with the issuance of the Other Securities [but shall be
separately transferable on and after
(the “ Detachable Date ”)] [and shall not
be separately transferable] and each Warrant Certificate shall
evidence one or more Warrants.] Each Warrant evidenced thereby
shall represent the right, subject to the provisions contained
herein and therein, to purchase one Warrant
Security. [If Other Securities and
Warrants—Warrant Certificates shall be initially issued in
units with the Other Securities and each Warrant Certificate
included in such a unit shall evidence
Warrants for each [$
principal amount] [
shares] of Other Securities included in such unit.]
1.2
Execution And Delivery Of Warrant Certificates
. Each Warrant Certificate, whenever issued, shall be in
registered form substantially in the form set forth in
Exhibit A hereto, shall be dated the date of its
countersignature by the Warrant Agent and may have such letters,
numbers, or other marks of identification or designation and such
legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon
as the officers of the Company executing the same may approve
(execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and
as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or
as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or
regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of
any securities exchange on which the Warrants may be listed, or to
conform to usage. The Warrant Certificates shall be
signed on behalf of the Company by any of its present or future
chief executive officers, presidents, senior vice presidents, vice
presidents, chief financial officers, chief legal officers,
treasurers, assistant treasurers, controllers, assistant
controllers, secretaries or assistant secretaries under its
corporate seal reproduced thereon. Such signatures may
be manual or facsimile signatures of such authorized officers and
may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant
Certificates. The seal of the Company may be in the form
of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or
otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates.
No Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any
purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable,
until such Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual
signature of the Warrant Agent. Such signature by the
Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate executed by the Company
shall be conclusive evidence that the Warrant Certificate so
countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.
In case any officer of the Company who shall
have signed any of the Warrant Certificates either manually or by
facsimile signature shall cease to be such officer before the
Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned and
delivered by the Warrant Agent, such Warrant Certificates may be
countersigned and delivered notwithstanding that the person who
signed Warrant Certificates ceased to be such officer of the
Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the
Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of
such Warrant Certificate, shall be the proper officers of the
Company, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement
any such person was not such officer.
The term “holder” or “holder
of a Warrant Certificate” as used herein shall mean any
person in whose name at the time any Warrant Certificate shall be
registered upon the books to be maintained by the Warrant Agent for
that purpose [If Other Securities and Warrants are not immediately
detachable—or upon the registration of the Other Securities
prior to the Detachable Date. Prior to the Detachable
Date, the Company will, or will cause the registrar of the Other
Securities to, make available at all times to the Warrant Agent
such information as to holders of the Other Securities as may be
necessary to keep the Warrant Agent’s records up to
date].
1.3
Issuance Of Warrant Certificates . Warrant
Certificates evidencing the right to purchase Warrant Securities
may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent
upon the execution of this Warrant Agreement or from time to time
thereafter. The Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of
Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company,
countersign such Warrant Certificates and shall deliver such
Warrant Certificates to or upon the order of the
Company.
ARTICLE 2
WARRANT PRICE, DURATION AND
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
2.1
Warrant Price. During the period specified in
Section 2.2, each Warrant shall, subject to the terms of this
Warrant Agreement and the applicable Warrant Certificate, entitle
the holder thereof to purchase the number of Warrant Securities
specified in the applicable Warrant Certificate at an exercise
price of $
per Warrant Security, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of
certain events, as hereinafter provided. Such purchase
price per Warrant Security is referred to in this Agreement as the
“ Warrant Price .”
2.2
Duration Of Warrants . Each Warrant may be
exercised in whole or in part at any time, as specified herein, on
or after [the date thereof] [
] and at or before [
] p.m., [
] time, on [
]
or such later date as the Company may designate by notice to the
Warrant Agent and the holders of Warrant Certificates mailed to
their addresses as set forth in the record books of the Warrant
Agent (the “ Expiration Date
”). Each Warrant not exercised at or before [
] p.m., [
] time, on the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights of
the holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant under
this Agreement shall cease.
2.3
Exercise Of Warrants .
(a) During
the period specified in Section 2.2, the Warrants may be
exercised to purchase a whole number of Warrant Securities in
registered form by providing certain information as set forth on
the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate and by paying in full,
in lawful money of the United States of America, [in cash or by
certified check or official bank check in New York Clearing House
funds] [by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds] the
Warrant Price for each Warrant Security with respect to which a
Warrant is being exercised to the Warrant Agent at its corporate
trust office, provided that such exercise is subject to receipt
within five business days of such payment by the Warrant Agent of
the Warrant Certificate with the form of election to purchase
Warrant Securities set forth on the reverse side of the Warrant
Certificate properly completed and duly executed. The
date on which payment in full of the Warrant Price is received by
the Warrant Agent shall, subject to receipt of the Warrant
Certificate as aforesaid, be deemed to be the date on which the
Warrant is exercised; provided, however, that if, at the date of
receipt of such Warrant Certificates and payment in full of the
Warrant Price, the transfer books for the Warrant Securities
purchasable upon the exercise of such Warrants shall be closed, no
such receipt of such Warrant Certificates and no such payment of
such Warrant Price shall be effective to constitute the person so
designated to be named as the holder of record of such Warrant
Securities on such date, but shall be effective to constitute such
person as the holder of record of such Warrant Securities for all
purposes at the opening of business on the next succeeding day on
which the transfer books for the Warrant Securities purchasable
upon the exercise of such Warrants shall be opened, and the
certificates for the Warrant Securities in respect of which such
Warrants are then exercised shall be issuable as of the date on
such next succeeding day on which the transfer books shall next be
opened, and until such date the Company shall be under no duty to
deliver any certificate for such Warrant Securities. The
Warrant Agent shall deposit all funds received by it in payment of
the Warrant Price in an account of the Company maintained with it
and shall advise the Company by telephone at the end of each day on
which a payment for the exercise of Warrants is received of the
amount so deposited to its account. The Warrant Agent
shall promptly confirm such telephone advice to the Company in
writing.
(b) The
Warrant Agent shall, from time to time, as promptly as practicable,
advise the Company of (i) the number of Warrant Securities with
respect to which Warrants were exercised, (ii) the instructions of
each holder of the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants
with respect to delivery of the Warrant Securities to which such
holder is entitled upon such exercise, (iii) delivery of Warrant
Certificates evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants for
the remaining Warrant Securities after such exercise, and (iv) such
other information as the Company shall reasonably
require.
(c) As
soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant, the Company
shall issue to or upon the order of the holder of the Warrant
Certificate evidencing such Warrant the Warrant Securities to which
such holder is entitled, in fully registered form, registered in
such name or names as may be directed by such holder. If
fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant
Certificate are exercised, the Company shall execute, and an
authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign
and deliver, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing Warrants for the
number of Warrant Securities remaining unexercised.
(d) The
Company shall not be required to pay any stamp or other tax or
other governmental charge required to be paid in connection with
any transfer involved in the issue of the Warrant Securities, and
in the event that any such transfer is involved, the Company shall
not be required to issue or deliver any Warrant Security until such
tax or other charge shall have been paid or it has been established
to the Company’s satisfaction that no such tax or other
charge is due.
(e) Prior
to the issuance of any Warrants there shall have been reserved, and
the Company shall at all times through the Expiration Date keep
reserved, out of its authorized but unissued Warrant Securities, a
number of shares sufficient to provide for the exercise of the
Warrants.
ARTICLE 3
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO
RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
3.1
No Rights As Warrant Securityholder Conferred By Warrants Or
Warrant Certificates . No Warrant Certificate or
Warrant evidenced thereby shall entitle the holder thereof to any
of the rights of a holder of Warrant Securities, including, without
limitation, the right to receive the payment of dividends or
distributions, if any, on the Warrant Securities or to exercise any
voting rights, except to the extent expressly set forth in this
Agreement or the applicable Warrant Certificate.
3.2
Lost, Stolen, Mutilated Or Destroyed Warrant Certificates
. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it and the Company of the ownership of
and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant
Certificate and/or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant
Agent and the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender of the mutilated Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent
for cancellation, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or
the Warrant Agent that such Warrant Certificate has been acquired
by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute, and an
authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign
and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of the lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant
Certificate of the same tenor and evidencing Warrants for a like
number of Warrant Securities. Upon the issuance of any
new Warrant Certificate under this Section 3.2, the Company
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto
and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Warrant Agent) in connection therewith. Every substitute
Warrant Certificate executed and delivered pursuant to this
Section 3.2 in lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificate shall represent an additional contractual obligation of
the Company, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall
be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement equally and
proportionately with any and all other Warrant Certificates duly
executed and delivered hereunder. The provisions of this
Section 3.2 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificates.
3.3
Holder Of Warrant Certificate May Enforce Rights
. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this
Agreement, any holder of a Warrant Certificate, without the consent
of the Warrant Agent, the holder of any Warrant Securities or the
holder of any other Warrant Certificate, may, in such
holder’s own behalf and for such holder’s own benefit,
enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or
proceeding against the Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in
respect of, such holder’s right to exercise the Warrants
evidenced by such holder’s Warrant Certificate in the manner
provided in such holder’s Warrant Certificate and in this
Agreement.
(a) In
case the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price
in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be
proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Securities
purchasable under the Warrants shall be proportionately
increased. Conversely, in case the outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number
of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of
Warrant Securities purchasable under the Warrants shall be
proportionately decreased.
(b) If
at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock (or
any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon
the exercise of the Warrants) shall have received or become
entitled to receive, without payment therefore,
(i) Common
Stock or any shares of stock or other securities which are at any
time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase
or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or
other distribution;
(ii) any
cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend paid or
payable out of the Company’s current or retained
earnings;
(iii) any
evidence of the Company’s indebtedness or rights to subscribe
for or purchase the Company’s indebtedness; or
(iv) Common
Stock or additional stock or other securities or property
(including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification,
combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other
than shares of Common Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments
in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of
Section 3.4(a) above), then and in each such case, the holder
of each Warrant shall, upon the exercise of the Warrant, be
entitled to receive, in addition to the number of Warrant
Securities receivable thereupon, and without payment of any
additional consideration therefore, the amount of stock and other
securities and property (including cash and indebtedness or rights
to subscribe for or purchase indebtedness) which such holder would
hold on the date of such exercise had he been the holder of record
of such Warrant Securities as of the date on which holders of
Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or
all other additional stock and other securities and
property.
(c) In
case of (i) any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change
in the Common Stock of the Company (other than as a result of a
subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in
Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.4(b) above), (ii) share
exchange, merger or similar transaction of the Company with or into
another person or entity (other than a share exchange, merger or
similar transaction in which the Company is the acquiring or
surviving corporation and which does not result in any change in
the Common Stock other than the issuance of additional shares of
Common Stock) or (iii) the sale, exchange, lease, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and
assets of the Company as an entirety (in any such case, a “
Reorganization Event ”), then, as a condition
of such Reorganization Event, lawful provisions shall be made, and
duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its
successor shall be delivered to the holders of the Warrants, so
that the holders of the Warrants shall have the right at any time
prior to the expiration of the Warrants to purchase, at a total
price equal to that payable upon the exercise of the Warrants, the
kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and
property receivable in connection with such Reorganization Event by
a holder of the same number of Warrant Securities as were
purchasable by the holders of the Warrants immediately prior to
such Reorganization Event. In any such case appropriate
provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests
of the holders of the Warrants so that the provisions hereof shall
thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or
other securities and property deliverable upon exercise the
Warrants, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Warrant
Price payable hereunder provided the aggregate purchase price shall
remain the same. In the case of any transaction
described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Company shall
thereupon be relieved of any further obligation hereunder or under
the Warrants, and the Company as the predecessor corporation may
thereupon or at any time thereafter be dissolved, wound up or
liquidated. Such successor or assuming entity thereupon
may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in
the name of the Company, any or all of the Warrants issuable
hereunder which heretofore shall not have been signed by the
Company, and may execute and deliver securities in its own name, in
fulfillment of its obligations to deliver Warrant Securities upon
exercise of the Warrants. All the Warrants so issued
shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under
this Agreement as the Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though all of such
Warrants had been issued at the date of the execution
hereof. In any case of any such Reorganization Event,
such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be
made in the Warrants thereafter to be issued as may be
appropriate.
(d) The
Company may, at its option, at any time until the Expiration Date,
reduce the then current Warrant Price to any amount deemed
appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company for any period
not exceeding twenty consecutive days (as evidenced in a resolution
adopted by such Board of Directors), but only upon giving the
notices required by Section 3.5 at least ten days prior to
taking such action.
(e) Except
as herein otherwise expressly provided, no adjustment in the
Warrant Price shall be made by reason of the issuance of shares of
Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for
shares of Common Stock, or securities carrying the right to
purchase any of the foregoing or for any other reason
whatsoever.
(f) No
fractional Warrant Securities shall be issued upon the exercise of
Warrants. If more than one Warrant shall be exercised at
one time by the same holder, the number of full Warrant Securities
which shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be computed on the
basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Securities purchased
pursuant to the Warrants so exercised. Instead of any
fractional Warrant Security which would otherwise be issuable upon
exercise of any Warrant, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of
the last sales price (or bid price if there were no sales) per
Warrant Security, in either case as reported on the New York Stock
Exchange Composite Tape on the business day which next precedes the
day of exercise or, if the Warrant Securities are not then listed
or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, on the
principal national securities exchange on which the Warrant
Securities are listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or
admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the
average of the closing high bid and low asked prices in the
over-the-counter market, as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market,
Inc. (“ NASDAQ ”) or the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“ FINRA
”), as applicable, or such other system then in use, or if on
any such date the Warrant Securities are not quoted by any such
organization, an amount equal to the same fraction of the average
of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by any New York
Stock Exchange firm sele
