2.          Exercise of Warrant; Term .

 

(a)       Subject to Section 2(e), the Holder is entitled to exercise the right to purchase the Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant, in whole or in part, but not for less than 100,000 Warrant Shares (or such lesser number of Warrant Shares which may then constitute the maximum number purchasable pursuant to this Warrant), such number being subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10, at any time or from time to time after the earlier of (a) the fifteen-month anniversary of the Original Issuance Date and (b) the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) until the Expiration Date.  To exercise this Warrant, the Holder shall deliver to the Company (i) an executed Warrant Exercise Notice substantially in the form

 



 

annexed hereto and (ii) this Warrant.  Upon such delivery and payment (the “ Exercise Date ”), the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares subject to such exercise and shall have all of the rights associated with such Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to this Warrant, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder.

 

(b)      If the Holder exercises this Warrant in part, this Warrant shall be surrendered by the Holder to the Company and a new Warrant of the same tenor and for the unexercised number of Warrant Shares shall be executed by the Company within a reasonable time, and in any event not exceeding three (3) Business Days after the Exercise Date.  The Company shall register the new Warrant in the name of the Holder or in such name or names of its transferee pursuant to Section 6 hereof as may be directed in writing by the Holder, and deliver the new Warrant to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same.

 

(c)       Upon surrender of this Warrant and delivery of the Warrant Exercise Notice in conformity with the foregoing provisions, the Company shall transfer to the Holder appropriate evidence of ownership of any Warrant Shares and/or other securities or property (including any money) to which the Holder is entitled, registered or otherwise placed in, or payable to the order of, the Holder or such name or names of its transferee pursuant to Section 6 hereof as may be directed in writing by the Holder, and shall deliver such evidence of ownership and any other securities or property (including any money) to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same, together with an amount in cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 5 below, within a reasonable time, not to exceed three (3) Business Days after the Exercise Date.

 

(d)      Upon exercise of the Warrant pursuant to Section 2(a), the Holder shall be entitled to receive Warrant Shares equal to the value (as determined below) of the Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant and delivery of the Warrant Exercise Notice, in which event the Company will promptly issue to the Holder a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following equation:

 

X = (A - B) x C
A

 

where:

 

X  =          the number of Warrant Shares issuable to the Holder upon exercise pursuant to this Section 2(d).

 

A  =         the Current Market Price Per Common Share (as of the Exercise Date).

 

B  =          the Exercise Price (as of the Exercise Date).

 



 

C  =          the number of Warrant Shares issuable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (as of the Exercise Date).

 

If the foregoing calculation results in zero or a negative number, then no Warrant Shares shall be issued upon exercise pursuant to this Section 2(d).

 

(e)       No Holder will be permitted to exercise the right to purchase Warrant Shares if and to the extent, following such exercise, either (i) such Holder’s, together with such Holder’s Affiliates, aggregate voting power on a matter being voted on by holders of the Common Stock would exceed 19.9% of the Maximum Voting Power (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) or (ii) such Holder, together with such Holder’s Affiliates, would Beneficially Own (disregarding for this purpose clause (ii) of the definition of “Beneficially Own”) more than 19.9% of the then outstanding Common Stock; provided , however , that such exercise restriction shall not apply in connection with and subject to completion of (A) a Public Sale of the Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise, if following consummation of such Public Sale such Holder and its Affiliates will not Beneficially Own in excess of 19.9% of the then outstanding Common Stock or (B) a bona fide third party tender offer for the Common Stock issuable thereupon.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by a Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of Warrant Shares to be issued with respect to which a Warrant Exercise Notice has been given, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon conversion or exercise of (w) the Convertible Preferred Stock, (x) any Junior Preferred Stock, (y) any outstanding Notes, and (z) any other outstanding Warrants Beneficially Owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

 

3.          Restrictive Legend .  Certificates representing shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Warrant shall bear a legend substantially in the form of the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant to the extent that and for so long as such legend is required pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement or applicable securities laws.

 

4.          Reservation of Shares; Listing .  The Company hereby agrees at all times to keep reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant.  The Company hereby represents that all such shares shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale (other than restrictions on transfer contemplated by Section 6 or those created by the Holder) and free and clear of all preemptive rights.  The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Common Stock may be issued without violation of any law or

 



 

regulation applicable to the Company or of any requirement of any securities exchange applicable to the Company on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or traded.

 

5.          No Fractional Warrant Shares or Scrip .  No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  In lieu of delivery of any such fractional Warrant Share upon any exercise hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price Per Common Share at the date of such exercise.

 

6.          Transfer or Assignment of Warrant .  Subject to compliance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Holder shall be entitled, without obtaining the consent of the Company, to assign and transfer this Warrant or any rights hereunder, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, but not for less than 100,000 Warrant Shares (or such lesser number of Warrant Shares which may then constitute the maximum number purchasable pursuant to this Warrant), such number being subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10, to any Person or Persons.  Subject to the preceding sentence, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the attached Warrant Assignment Form duly executed, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee or assignees named in such instrument of assignment and, if the Holder’s entire interest is not being assigned, in the name of the Holder and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.  All expenses (other than stock transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the new Warrants pursuant to this Section 6 shall be paid by the Company.

 

7.          Charges, Taxes and Expenses .  Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares (or other securities) to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant 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 certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company.

 

8.          Exchange and Registry of Warrant .  The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the Holder as the registered holder of this Warrant, and the Company shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.  This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder to the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares.

 

9.          Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant .  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it (in the exercise of its reasonable discretion) of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon the receipt of a bond, indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and date and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares as provided for in such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

 



 

10.        Anti-dilution Provisions .

 

(a)       Adjustment for Change In Capital Stock .

 

(i)      If the Company shall, at any time and from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, issue a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock payable in shares of its Common Stock to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, then at the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution:

 

(A)       The Exercise Price will be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Ex-Dividend Date; and (2) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, plus the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution.

 

(B)       The number of Warrant Shares will be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior to the adjustment pursuant to Section 10(a)(i)(A); and (2) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment.

 

If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10(a)(i) is declared but not so paid or made, the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable shall again be adjusted to the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, in no event shall the Exercise Price be increased or the number of Warrant Shares issuable be decreased pursuant to this Section 10(a)(i).

 

(ii)     If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately decreased, and conversely, if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the day upon which such combination or

 



 

reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately increased.  In each such case, effective immediately after the opening of business on the day upon which such subdivision, combination or reclassification becomes effective:

 

(A)       The Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination and (2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision, combination or reclassification.

 

(B)       The number of Warrant Shares will be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction:  (1) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior to the adjustment pursuant to Section 10(a)(ii)(A) and (2) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment.

 

(b)      Adjustment for Rights Issue .  If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, distribute rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period expiring within 60 days after the record date for such distribution, to purchase shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Common Stock, in either case, at less than the average of the Closing Price for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the first public announcement of the distribution, then, effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date:

 

(i)         The Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution, plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants would purchase at the Current Market Price Per Common Share on the declaration date for such distribution (determined by multiplying such total number of shares of Common Stock so offered by the exercise price of such rights, op
