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 $873.00 and
for other good and valuable consideration, the Holder, or its
permitted successors and assigns, hereby is entitled to exchange
this Warrant from Bioject Medical Technologies, Inc. (the
“Company”) for Seventy-One Thousand Four Hundred
Twenty-Nine (71,429) 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 exchange 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 Exchange of Warrant.
1.1
Term of Warrant . This Warrant shall be exchangeable for a
period of seven (7) years after the date hereof (hereinafter
referred to as the “Expiration Date”).
1.2
Exchange Price . The price per share at which the
Warrant Stock is issuable upon exchange of this Warrant shall be
One Dollar and Forty Cents ($1.40), subject to adjustment from time
to time as set forth herein (the “Exchange Price”).
1.3
Exchange of Warrant .
(a)
This Warrant may be exchanged 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 exchanged, together with the
form of election to exchange attached hereto as Exhibit A duly
completed and executed, and upon payment to the Company of the
Exchange Price for the number of shares of Warrant Stock in respect
of which this Warrant is then being exchanged.
(b)
Payment of the aggregate Exchange Price may be made (i) in cash or
by cashier’s or bank check or (ii) by converting this Warrant
through a Cashless Exchange (as defined herein). Upon a
“Cashless
Exchange” 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 exchanged under this Warrant
|
|
A
|
=
|
|
the Fair Market Value
of one share of Common Stock.
|
|
B
|
=
|
|
the Exchange 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 Exchange 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 exchange, 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 Exchange 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
exchange. 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 Exchange in
connection with a transaction in which the Warrant Stock is
converted into or exchanged for another security, Holder may effect
a Cashless Exchange directly into such other security.
Notwithstanding the right of the Holder to effect a Cashless
Exchange, the Company may require Holder to exchange 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 exchange of this Warrant is delivered
within three (3) Business Days of Holder’s exchange.
(d)
Subject to Section 2 hereof, upon surrender of this Warrant, and
the duly completed and executed form of election to exchange, and
payment of the Exchange Price or conversion of this Warrant through
Cashless Exchange, 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 exchange 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 exchange,
and payment of the Exchange Price or conversion of this Warrant
through Cashless Exchange; provided, that if the date of surrender
of this Warrant and payment of the Exchange 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 exchanged or converted in part, a new warrant of the same tenor
and for the number of shares of Warrant Stock not exchanged or
converted shall be executed by the Company.
2
1.4
Fractional Interests . The Company shall not be required to
issue fractions of shares of Warrant Stock upon the exchange of
this Warrant. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock
would be issuable upon the exchange 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 Exchange 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 exchange
hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above is
greater than the Exchange 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
exchanged 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 Exchange 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 exchange 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
3
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 exchange of this Warrant
above the amount payable therefor upon such exchange 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 exchange of this Warrant.
Section 4.
Adjustments to Exchange Price and Number of Shares of Warrant
Stock.
4.1
Adjustments . In order to prevent dilution of the rights
granted hereunder, the Exchange Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 4.
Upon each adjustment of the Exchange Price pursuant to this Section
4, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to acquire upon
exchange, at the Exchange Price resulting from such adjustment, the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company obtainable by
multiplying the Exchange 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 Exchange 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 Exchange 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 Exchange 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
exchange 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 exchange of this Warrant at the Exchange 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 exchange 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
4
(2)
offer for sale any additional shares of any
class or series of the Company’s capital stock or securities
exchangeable for or convertible into such capital stock to the
holders of such class or series, generally, or
(3)
effect or approve any reclassification,
exchange, substitution or recapitalization of the capital stock of
the Company, including any subdivision or combination of its
outstanding capital stock, or consolidation or merger of the
Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to,
another corporation, or to liquidate, dissolve
