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.
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.
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
