The term "Holder" shall initially refer to
Partners for Growth, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which is
the initial holder of this Warrant and shall further refer to any
subsequent permitted holder of this Warrant from time to
time.
The Holder is subject to certain restrictions as set forth in
the Agreement.
The Company does hereby certify and agree that, for the agreed
sum of $1531.00 and for other good and valuable consideration, the
Holder, or its permitted successors and assigns, hereby is entitled
to purchase from Bioject Medical Technologies, Inc. (the "Company")
Two Hundred Thousand (200,000) duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable shares of its Common Stock, no par
value, upon the terms and subject to the provisions of this
Warrant. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant are referred to herein as the "Warrant Stock," and the
Warrant and the Warrant Stock are sometimes together referred to as
the "Securities."
Section
1.
Term, Price and Exercise of Warrant.
1.1
Term of Warrant . This Warrant shall be exercisable for a
period of five (5) years after the date hereof (hereinafter
referred to as the "Expiration Date").
1.2
Exercise Price . The price per share at which the
Warrant Stock is issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
One Dollar and Thirty-Seven Cents ($1.37), subject to adjustment
from time to time as set forth herein (the "Exercise
Price").
1.3
Exercise of Warrant .
(a) This Warrant may be exercised or
converted, in whole or in part, upon surrender to the Company at
its then principal offices in the United States of this Warrant to
be exercised, together with the form of election to exercise
attached hereto as Exhibit A duly completed and executed, and upon
payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for the number of
shares of Warrant Stock in respect of which this Warrant is then
being exercised.
(b) Payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price may be made (i) in cash or by cashier’s or bank check
or (ii) by converting this Warrant through a Cashless Exercise (as
defined herein). Upon a "Cashless Exercise" the Holder shall
receive Warrant Stock on a net basis such that, without the payment
of any funds, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant in exchange
for the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal to "X" (as defined
below), computed using the following formula:
Where
|
X
|
|
=
|
|
the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be
issued to Holder.
|
|
Y
|
|
=
|
|
the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be
exercised under this Warrant
|
|
A
|
|
=
|
|
the Fair Market Value of one share of Common
Stock.
|
|
B
|
|
=
|
|
the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of
such calculations).
|
(c) For purposes of this
Warrant, the "Fair Market Value" of one share of Warrant Stock
shall be (i) if the Company’s common stock (the "Common
Stock") is or becomes listed on a national stock exchange or the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the product of (A) the highest closing sale
price reported on such exchange or market for the 90-day period
prior to the earlier of the day Holder delivers its Election of
Exercise to the Company or the date of determination of Fair Market
Value and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which a
share of Warrant Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise,
or (ii) if the Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, the product
of (A) the highest closing bid price for the Common Stock over the
90-day period immediately prior to the earlier of the day Holder
delivers its Election of Exercise to the Company or the date of
determination of Fair Market Value and (B) the number of shares of
Common Stock into which one share of Warrant Stock is convertible
at the time of such exercise. If the Common Stock is not
traded as contemplated in clauses (i) or (ii), above, the Fair
Market Value of the Company’s Warrant Stock shall be the
price per share which the Company could obtain from a willing buyer
for shares of Warrant Stock sold by the
Company from its authorized but unissued shares,
as the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine in its
reasonable good faith judgment. In the event that Holder
elects to convert the Warrant Stock through Cashless Exercise in
connection with a transaction in which the Warrant Stock is
converted into or exchanged for another security, Holder may effect
a Cashless Exercise directly into such other security.
Notwithstanding the right of the Holder to effect a Cashless
Exercise, the Company may require Holder to exercise this Warrant
for cash if the Warrant Stock is registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, may be traded by Holder without restriction under SEC
rules and regulations and applicable law and such freely-tradable
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is delivered
within three (3) Business Days of Holder’s
exercise.
(d) Subject to Section 2 hereof, upon
surrender of this Warrant, and the duly completed and executed form
of election to exercise, and payment of the Exercise Price or
conversion of this Warrant through Cashless Exercise, the Company
shall issue and deliver within three (3) business days to the
Holder or such other person as the Holder may designate in writing
a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Warrant
Stock so purchased upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant.
Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been
issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be
deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Stock as
of the date of the surrender of this Warrant, and the duly
completed and executed form of election to exercise, and payment of
the Exercise Price or conversion of this Warrant through Cashless
Exercise; provided, that if the date of surrender of this Warrant
and payment of the Exercise Price is not a business day, the
certificates for the Warrant Stock shall be issued as of the next
business day (whether before or after the Expiration Date), and,
until such date, the Company shall be under no duty to cause to be
delivered any certificate for such Warrant Stock or for shares of
such other class of capital stock. If this Warrant is
exercised or converted in part, a new warrant of the same tenor and
for the number of shares of Warrant Stock not exercised or
converted shall be executed by the Company.
1.4
Fractional Interests . The Company shall not be required to
issue fractions of shares of Warrant Stock upon the exercise of
this Warrant. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock
would be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (or any portion
thereof), the Company shall purchase such fraction for an amount in
cash equal to the same fraction of the last reported sale
price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ National Market System or
any other national securities exchange or market on which the
Common Stock is then listed or traded.
1.5
Automatic Conversion upon Expiration . In the event
that, upon the Expiration Date, the fair market value of one share
of Common Stock (or other security issuable upon the exercise
hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above is
greater than the Exercise Price in effect on such date, then this
Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be
converted pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Warrant Stock (or
such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been
exercised or converted, and the Company shall promptly deliver a
certificate
representing the Warrant Stock (or such other
securities) issued upon such conversion to the Holder.
Section
2.
Exchange and Transfer of Warrant.
(a) This Warrant may be transferred, in whole or in
part, without restriction, subject to (i) the Holder’s
delivery of an opinion of counsel in customary form that such
transfer is in compliance with applicable securities laws and (ii)
the transferee holder of the new Warrant assumes in writing the
obligations of the Holder set forth in the Agreement. A
transfer may be registered with the Company by submission to it of
this Warrant, together with the annexed Assignment Form attached
hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and executed. After the
Company’s receipt of this Warrant and the Assignment Form so
completed and executed, the Company will issue and deliver to the
transferee a new warrant (representing the portion of this Warrant
so transferred) at the same Exercise Price per share and otherwise
having the same terms and provisions as this Warrant, which the
Company will register in the new holder’s name. In the
event of a partial transfer of this Warrant, the Company shall
concurrently issue and deliver to the transferring holder a new
warrant that entitles the transferring holder to purchase the
balance of this Warrant not so transferred and that otherwise is
upon the same terms and conditions as this Warrant. Upon the
due delivery of this Warrant for transfer, the transferee holder
shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the holder of the
new warrant issued for the portion of this Warrant so transferred,
effective immediately prior to the close of business on the date of
such delivery, irrespective of the date of actual delivery of the
new warrant representing the portion of this Warrant so
transferred.
(b) In the event of the loss, theft or destruction of
this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver an identical
new warrant to the Holder in substitution therefor upon the
Company’s receipt of (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Company of such event and (ii) if requested by the Company, an
indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance
to the Company. In the event of the mutilation of or other
damage to the Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver an
identical new warrant to the Holder in substitution therefor upon
the Company’s receipt of the mutilated or damaged
warrant.
(c) The Company shall pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the exercise, exchange, transfer or
replacement of this Warrant, including, without limitation, the
costs of preparation, execution and delivery of a new warrant and
of share certificates representing all Warrant Stock; provided,
that the Holder shall pay all stamp and other transfer taxes
payable in connection with the transfer or replacement of this
Warrant.
Section
3.
Certain Covenants.
(a) The Company shall at all times reserve for
issuance and keep available out of its authorized and unissued
Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise
of this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall
from time to time be sufficient therefor.
(b) The Company will not, by amendment
of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or through
reorganization, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, sale of assets
or otherwise, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms of this Warrant. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any
shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise and (ii) will take all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
Section
4.
Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Shares of Warrant
Stock.
4.1 Adjustments . In order to prevent
dilution of the rights granted hereunder, the Exercise Price shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this
Section 4. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to
this Section 4, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to acquire
upon exercise, at the Exercise Price resulting from such
adjustment, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
obtainable by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock
acquirable immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product thereof by the new Exercise Price resulting from such
adjustment.
4.2 Subdivisions, Combinations and Share
Dividends . If the Company shall at any time subdivide by
split-up or otherwise, its outstanding Common Stock into a greater
number of shares, or issue additional Common Stock as a dividend,
bonus issue or otherwise with respect to any Common Stock, the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or
share dividend or bonus issue shall be proportionately reduced.
Conversely, in case the outstanding Common Stock of the Company
shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased.
4.3. Reorganization, Reclassification,
Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets . If any capital
reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock, or
consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets
to another corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders
of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive shares, securities,
cash or other property with respect to or in exchange for Common
Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or sale,
lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder
shall have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this
Warrant (or at the option of the Holder, shall have the right to
receive a new and equivalent Warrant for) such shares, securities,
cash or other property issuable or payable (as part of the
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation,
merger or sale) with respect to or in exchange for such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as would have been received upon
exercise of this Warrant at the Exercise Price then in effect. The
Company will not effect any such
consolidation, amalgamation, merger or sale
unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor
corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such
consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets
shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver such
shares, securities or assets that the Holder may be entitled to
purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If a
purchase, tender or exchange offer is made to and accepted by the
holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock of the
Company, the Company shall not effect any consolidation,
amalgamation, merger or sale with the person having made such offer
or with any Affiliate of such person, unless prior to the
consummation of such consolidation, merger or sale the Holder shall
have been given a reasonable opportunity to then elect to receive
upon the exercise of this Warrant either the shares, securities or
assets then issuable with respect to the Common Stock of the
Company or the shares, securities or assets, or the equivalent,
issued to previous holders of the Common Stock in accordance with
such offer. For purposes hereof the term "Affiliate" with respect
to any given person shall mean any person controlling, controlled
by or under common control with the given person.
4.4. Notices of Record Date, Etc . In
the event that:
(1) declare or propose to declare any dividend upon its
capital stock, whether payable in cash, property, stock or other
securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend, or
(2) offer for sale any additional shares of any class or
series of the Company’s capital sto
