THIS CERTIFIES
THAT , for
value received, _________________ or its registered assigns, is
entitled to purchase from Aegis Assessments, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at any time or
from time to time during the period specified in Paragraph 2
hereof, _________ fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
Company’s Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the
“Common Stock”), at an exercise price per share equal
to $.10 (the “Exercise Price”). The term
“Warrant Shares,” as used herein, refers to the shares
of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. The Warrant Shares and
the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in
Paragraph 4 hereof. The term “Warrants” means
this Warrant and the other warrants issued pursuant to that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated October 27, 2006, by and among
the Company and the Buyers listed on the execution page thereof
(the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).
This Warrant is subject
to the following terms, provisions, and conditions:
1.
Manner
of Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for
Shares.
Subject to the
provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the holder
hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant,
together with a completed exercise agreement in the form attached
hereto (the “Exercise Agreement”), to the Company
during normal business hours on any business day at the
Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office
or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the
holder hereof), and upon (i) payment to the Company in cash, by
certified or official bank check or by wire transfer for the
account of the Company of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares
specified in the Exercise Agreement or (ii) if the resale of the
Warrant Shares by the holder is not then registered pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), delivery to the
Company of a written notice of an election to effect a
“Cashless Exercise” (as defined in Section 11(c) below)
for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement.
The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued
to the holder hereof or such holder’s designee, as the record
owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on
which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed
Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered, and payment
shall have been made for such shares as set forth above.
Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased,
representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the
Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof within
a reasonable time, not exceeding five (5) business days, after this
Warrant shall have been so exercised. The certificates so
delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the
holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of such holder or
such other name as shall be designated by such holder. If
this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless
this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the
time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder a new
Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which
this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. In addition
to all other available remedies at law or in equity, if the Company
fails to deliver certificates for the Warrant Shares within five
(5) business days after this Warrant is exercised, then the Company
shall pay to the holder in cash a penalty (the
“Penalty”) equal to 2% of the number of Warrant Shares
that the holder is entitled to multiplied by the Market Price (as
hereinafter defined) for each day that the Company fails to deliver
certificates for the Warrant Shares. For example, if the
holder is entitled to 100,000 Warrant Shares and the Market Price
is $2.00, then the
Company shall pay to
the holder $4,000 for each day that the Company fails to deliver
certificates for the Warrant Shares. The Penalty shall be
paid to the holder by the fifth day of the month following the
month in which it has accrued.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Warrant to the contrary, in no event shall the
holder of this Warrant be entitled to exercise a number of Warrants
(or portions thereof) in excess of the number of Warrants (or
portions thereof) upon exercise of which the sum of (i) the number
of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its
affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed
beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised
Warrants and the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other
securities of the Company (including the Notes (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement)) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained
herein) and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants (or portions thereof) with respect to
which the determination described herein is being made, would
result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of
more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For
purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation
13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (i) of the
preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the limitation on exercise of this Warrant set
forth herein may not be amended without (i) the written consent of
the holder hereof and the Company and (ii) the approval of a
majority of shareholders of the Company.
2.
Period
of Exercise .
This Warrant is exercisable at any
time or from time to time on or after the date on which this
Warrant is issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of the
Securities Purchase Agreement and before 6:00 p.m., New York, New
York time on the seventh (7 th ) anniversary of the date
of issuance (the “Exercise Period”).
3.
Certain
Agreements of the Company .
The Company
hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
(a)
Shares to be
Fully Paid . All Warrant Shares will, upon
issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly
issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and free from all taxes,
liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(b)
Reservation of
Shares . During the Exercise Period,
the Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for
the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for
the exercise of this Warrant.
(c)
Certain Actions
Prohibited . The Company will not, by
amendment of its charter or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue
or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek
to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be
requested by the holder of this Warrant in order to protect the
exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant against
dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and
purpose of this Warrant. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not
increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in
effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of this Warrant.
(d)
Successors and
Assigns . This Warrant will be binding
upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation,
or acquisition of all or substantially all the
Company’s assets.
4.
Antidilution
Provisions .
During the Exercise
Period, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
Paragraph 4.
2
In the event that any
adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein results in a
fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded up to the
nearest cent.
(a)
Adjustment of
Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon Issuance of Common
Stock . Except as otherwise provided
in Paragraphs 4(c) and 4(e) hereof, if and whenever on or after the
date of issuance of this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or
in accordance with Paragraph 4(b) hereof is deemed to have issued
or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a
consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or
commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection
therewith) less than the Market Price on the date of issuance (a
“Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the
Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price will be reduced to a price
determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to the Dilutive Issuance by a fraction, (i) the numerator of
which is an amount equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of
Common Stock actually outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive
Issuance, plus (y) the quotient of the aggregate consideration,
calculated as set forth in Paragraph 4(b) hereof, received by the
Company upon such Dilutive Issuance divided by the Market Price in
effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance, and (ii) the
denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock
Deemed Outstanding (as defined below) immediately after the
Dilutive Issuance.
(b)
Effect on
Exercise Price of Certain Events . For purposes of determining
the adjusted Exercise Price under Paragraph 4(a) hereof, the
following will be applicable:
(i)
Issuance of
Rights or Options . If the Company in any manner
issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not
immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common
Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants,
rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible
Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”)
and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the
exercise of such Options is less than the Market Price on the date
of issuance or grant of such Options, then the maximum total number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such
Options will, as of the date of the issuance or grant of such
Options, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and
sold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of
the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common
Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is
determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or
receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or
granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the
exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible
Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the
conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible
Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the
maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of
Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment
to the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such
Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the
conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon
exercise of such Options.
(ii)
Issuance of
Convertible Securities . If the Company in any manner
issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not
immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable
upon the exercise of Options) and the price per share for which
Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less
than the Market Price on the date of issuance, then the maximum
total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion
or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will, as of the date
of the issuance of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for
such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding
sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is
issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by
dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by
the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such
Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the
conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible
Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the
maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion or
3
exchange of all such
Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Exercise
Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock
upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
(iii)
Change in Option
Price or Conversion Rate . If there is a change at any
time in (i) the amount of additional consideration payable to the
Company upon the exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of
additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the
conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities; or (iii) the
rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock (other than under or by reason of
provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Exercise
Price in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to
the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had
such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided
for such changed additional consideration or changed conversion
rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or
sold.
(iv)
Treatment of
Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible
Securities . If, in any case, the total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any
Option or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities
is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such Option or
to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have
expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect will be
readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at
the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or
Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior
to such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the
actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or
conversion thereof), never been issued.
(v)
Calculation of
Consideration Received . If any Common Stock, Options
or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash, the
consideration received therefor for purposes of this Warrant will
be the amount received by the Company therefor, before deduction of
reasonable commissions, underwriting discounts or allowances or
other reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Company in
connection with such issuance, grant or
