SERIES II COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

VIRNETX HOLDING CORPORATION

 

Warrant Shares: ____________

Issue Date: September __, 2009

 

 

THIS SERIES II 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, to receive from VirnetX Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”) up to ______ shares (the “ Warrant Shares ”) of Common Stock via cashless exercise pursuant to Section 2(c).

 

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 September 2, 2009, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.

 

Section 2 .                       Exercise .

 

a)   Exercise of Warrant .   This Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to Section 2(c) on the 15 th Trading Day following the Exercise Date pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement by surrender of this Warrant certificate; provided , however , if the issuance of Warrant Shares hereunder would otherwise violate Section 2(e), such Warrant Shares shall not be issued to the extent that such issuance would violate Section 2(e) until the Holder has delivered to the Company a written representation that the issuance of the balance of the Warrant Shares will not violate Section 2(e).  Other than the rights of the Holder to receive Warrant Shares subsequent to the Exercise Date on account of the limitations of Section 2(e), which rights will remain as if this Warrant remained outstanding, and subject to the delivery of the Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant on the Exercise Date if required, this Warrant shall terminate and be deemed cancelled following the Exercise Date (the “ Termination Date ”)

 

b)   Exercise Price .  The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.01 (the “ Initial Exercise Price ”), subject to adjustment hereunder (the “ Exercise Price ”).

 

 

 


 

 

c)   Cashless Exercise .  This Warrant shall be exercised by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate (unless electronic delivery is available) for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the difference between the lesser of:

 

(i)   the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder; and

 

(ii)   such number of shares of Common Stock as would have been issuable to the Holder under the Purchase Agreement if the Per Share Purchase Price was 80% of the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of the Common Stock on each of the fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days immediately following the Exercise Date;

 

provided , however , that the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall not be more than such number of shares of Common Stock as would have been issuable to the Holder under the Purchase Agreement if the Per Share Purchase Price was $1.25, subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits and the like.  By way of example, if the Holder has a Subscription Amount at the Closing of $1,000,000, the Per Share Purchase Price was $3.00 and 80% of the average of the 15 VWAPs immediately following the Exercise Date was $2.50, then the Holder would be entitled to receive 66,667 Warrant Shares hereunder.

 

d) 

Mechanics of Exercise .

 

i.   Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise .  Subject to the restrictions set forth under Section 2(e), Warrant 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 on or before the 18 th Trading Day following the Exercise Date (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”).  Subject to the restrictions set forth under Section 2(e), 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 Exercise Date.

 

ii.   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 third Trading Day following 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 , within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, 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 (and to issue such Warrant Shares or credit such Holder's balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”)) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Shares or credit such Holder's balance account with DTC 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 VWAP on the date of exercise.  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.

iii.   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.

 

iv.   Charges, Taxes and Expenses .  Issuance of 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.

 

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 or 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 not be construed and implemented in a manner other than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) except as necessary 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.

f)   Termination .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant shall immediately terminate and become null and void in the event that 80% of the average of the 15 VWAPs immediately following the Exercise Date is equal to or greater than the Per Share Purchase Price.

 

Section 3 .                       Certain Adjustments .

 

a)   Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b)   Fundamental Transaction .  If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, in one or more related transactions (i) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, t
