Exercise and Duration of Warrants .
|
|
|
|
|
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the
registered Holder at any time and
|
|
|
from time to time on or after the Initial Exercise Date and
including the Expiration Date. At 4:30 P.M., Utah time on the
Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior
thereto shall be and become void and of no value.
(b) A Holder may exercise this
Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the
form attached hereto (the " Exercise Notice "),
appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this
Warrant is being exercised, and the date such items are delivered
to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice
provisions hereof) is an " Exercise Date ." The Holder shall
not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect
an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise
Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original
Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to
purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
|
5.
|
Delivery of Warrant Shares .
|
|
|
|
|
(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company
shall promptly (but in no
|
|
|
event later than three Trading Days after the Exercise Date)
transmit to the Holder and the Transfer Agent, by email or
facsimile, an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the
Exercise Notice and funds representing the Exercise Price. On or
before the fourth (4th) Trading Day following the date of the
Company's receipt of the Exercise Notice (the " Share Delivery
Date "), the Company shall (x) provided that the Transfer Agent
is participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast
Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the
Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the
Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder's or its
designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission system, or (y) if the Transfer Agent is not
participating in the DTC Fast Automated
Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight
courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a
certificate, registered in the Company's share register in the name
of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common
Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise.
Upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Notice and funds
representing the Exercise Price, the Holder shall be deemed for all
corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the
Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been
exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are
credited to the Holder's DTC account or the date of delivery of the
certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. 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 to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole
number.
(b) This Warrant is exercisable,
either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the
number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant following
one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to
be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to
purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
(c) In addition to any other
rights available to a Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to
the Holder a certificate representing Warrant Shares or credit the
Holder's balance account with DTC, as applicable, by the fifth (5
th ) Trading Day after the Company's receipt of the
Exercise Notice and funds representing the Exercise Price, and if
after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock in a good faith
transaction with an unaffiliated third party (a " Good Faith
Purchase ") to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder
of the Warrant Shares that the Holder is actually entitled to
receive from the Company (a "Buy-In" ), then the Company
shall, within five (5) Trading Days after the Holder's request and
in the Holder's discretion, and after the Holder provides the
Company with written evidence of such Good Faith Purchase, either
(i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price" ),
at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate
or to credit the Holder's balance account with DTC (and to issue
such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its
obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an
amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the
product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the
Closing Bid Price on the Exercise Date.
(d) The Company's obligations to
issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms
hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action
or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or
consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or
any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or
any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of
any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation
of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any
other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of
the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of
Warrant Shares. 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 this Warrant as required pursuant
to the terms hereof.
6. Charges, Taxes and
Expenses . Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without
charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding
tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in
respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes
and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that
the foregoing shall not apply if the Company has an obligation to
withhold tax and the Company shall not be required to pay any tax
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in
a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be
responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result
of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares
upon exercise hereof, including but not limited to income taxes or
capital gains of the Holder or exercising holder.
7. Replacement of Warrant .
If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and
substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft or destruction and customary and reasonable bond or
indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable
regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable
third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.
