3. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Exercise Procedure.
(i) The
purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, with
respect to the fully vested and immediately exercisable Warrant Shares in whole
or in part at any time during the applicable Exercise Period for such Warrant
Shares, by delivery of a notice of exercise in the form set forth on the last
page hereof (the “Exercise Notice”) at
the principal office of the Company, and by the payment to the Company of the
aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with the next sentence) in an amount
equal to the Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares
then being purchased. The aggregate purchase price for Warrant Shares
being purchased hereunder pursuant to such exercise may be paid either (A) by
cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds, (B) by cancellation of
indebtedness, (C) by surrender of a number of Warrant Shares which have a Fair
Market Value equal to the aggregate purchase price of the Warrant Shares being
purchased (“Net
Issuance”) as determined herein, or (D) any combination of the
foregoing. If the Holder elects the Net Issuance method of payment,
the Company shall issue to Holder upon exercise a number of shares of Warrant
Shares determined in accordance with the following formula:
X =
Y(A-B)
A
where:
|
X
=
|
the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder; |
|
Y
=
|
the
number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Holder is
exercising
its purchase rights under this
Warrant;
|
|
A
=
|
the
Fair Market Value of one (1) share of the Warrant Shares on the date
immediately preceding the date of exercise; and
|
B = | the Exercise Price. |
(ii) No
fractional shares arising out of the above formula for determining the number of
shares to be issued to the Holder shall be issued, and the Company shall, in
lieu thereof, make payment to the Holder of cash in the amount of such fraction
multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of the Warrant Shares on
the date of exercise.
(iii) In
the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant,
certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the
Holder as soon as practicable and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised
or has expired, a new Warrant representing the portion of the Warrant Shares, if
any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall
also be issued to the Holder as soon as practicable. Such exercise
shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on
the date the Holder delivers the Exercise Notice with respect to such
exercise.
3
4. Reservation of Warrant
Shares; Stock Fully Paid. During the Exercise Period, the
Company shall reserve and keep available for issuance upon the exercise of the
Warrant such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as
will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding
Warrants. The Warrant Shares, upon issuance in accordance with the
terms of this Warrant, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and
free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance
thereof.
5. No Voting Rights; Limitations of Liability. This
Warrant will not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a
shareholder of the Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the
absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Warrant Shares, and no
enumeration in this Warrant of the rights or privileges of the Holder, will give
rise to any liability of such Holder as a stockholder of the
Company.
6. Representations
of Holder; Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) The
Holder certifies and represents to the Company that it is an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act. The Holder’s financial condition is such that it is
able to bear the risk of holding the Securities for an indefinite period of time
and the risk of loss of its entire investment. The Holder has
sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the
Company so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in
the Company. The Holder is acquiring the Securities for its own
account for investment and not for resale or with a view to distribution thereof
in violation of the Securities Act. The Holder understands that the
Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of their
issuance by the Company in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, and that the Securities must continue to be
held by the Holder unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under
the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration.
(b) The
Holder agrees that the Holder will not transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of
this Warrant without the express consent of the Company in its reasonable
discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may transfer
all or any portion of this Warrant to an affiliate (as such term is defined in
Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) of the Holder.
(c) The
Holder agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or
otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares issued upon its exercise
except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the
Securities Act. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall
confirm in writing, by executing the form attached hereto, that the securities
purchased thereby are being acquired for investment solely for the Holder’s own
account and not as a nominee for any other person, and not with a view toward
distribution or resale.
4
(d) The
certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall have affixed thereto a legend
in substantially the following form, in addition to other legends required by
applicable state law:
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE
TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THE SAME ARE REGISTERED AND
QUALIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS,
OR IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.
(e) With
respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any Warrant
Shares, the Holder agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto,
describing briefly the manner thereof together with a written opinion of the
Holder’s counsel, if reasonably requested by the Company, to the effect that
such offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares may
be effected without registration under the Securities Act or qualification under
any applicable state securities laws, and indicating whether or not under the
Securities Act certificates for this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, as the case
may be, to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to
applicable restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance with
the Securities Act. If the Company shall consent to the transfer of
this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, then each certificate representing this
Warrant or the Warrant Shares thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to
Rule 144) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on
transferability in order to insure compliance with the Securities Act, unless in
the aforesaid reasonably satisfactory opinion of counsel for the Holder or the
security holder, as the case may be, such legend is not necessary in order to
insure compliance with the Securities Act. The Company may issue stop
transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such
restrictions.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendment and Waiver. Except
as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended only
if the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the
Holder.
(b) Notices. Any
notices required to be sent to the Holder will be delivered to the address set
forth below. Any notices required to be sent to the Company will be
delivered to the principal office of the Company as set forth on the signature
page hereto. Any party may change the address to which correspondence
to it is to be addressed by written notification as provided
herein. All notices required or permitted hereunder, to be effective,
shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) when sent by
confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if
not, then on the next business day, (ii) five (5) days after having been sent by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or
(iii) one (1) business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight
courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of
receipt.

(c) Descriptive Headings;
Pronouns. The descriptive headings of the paragraphs of this
Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this
Warrant. All pronouns or any variation thereof shall be deemed to
refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity
of the person, persons, entity or entities may require.
(d) Governing Law. This
Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal and
substantive laws of the State of New York and without regard to any conflicts of
laws concepts which would apply the substantive law of some other
jurisdiction.
(e) Successors and
Assigns. Subject to Section 6, the provisions of this Warrant
shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the respective successors
and assigns of the parties hereto.
(f) Severability. In
the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall for any
reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part or
in any respect, or in the event that any one or more of the provisions of this
Warrant operate or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Warrant, then
and in any such event, such provision(s) only shall be deemed null and void and
shall not affect any other provision of this Warrant and the remaining
provisions of this Warrant shall remain operative and in full force and effect
and in no way shall be affected, prejudiced, or disturbed thereby.
(g) Waiver of Jury
Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO
TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY SUITS, CLAIMS, COUNTERCLAIMS, AND ACTIONS OF ANY KIND
ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND
THE HOLDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS IS A WAIVER OF A LEGAL RIGHT AND REPRESENTS TO
THE OTHER THAT THIS WAIVER IS MADE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY. THE
COMPANY AND THE HOLDER EACH AGREE THAT ALL SUCH SUITS, CLAIMS, COUNTERCLAIMS,
AND ACTIONS SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION,
WITHOUT A JURY.
(h) Adjustments.
6
(i) If
at any time after the date hereof there is any change in the outstanding shares
of capital stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, splits,
recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares,
separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of
shares available under this Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price, as
applicable, shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder, on exercise
for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of
shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to
the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event
requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed
because of any adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares subject to this
Warrant.
(ii) In
case of any reclassification or change of outstanding securities of the class
and series issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or
as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into a continuing corporation (other than a merger
with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and
which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of a sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company, unless this Warrant shall
have been exercised or terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company, or
such successor or purchasing corporation, shall execute a new Warrant, which
provides that the Holder shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant and
procure upon such exercise in lieu of each Warrant Share theretofore issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock, other
securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change,
merger or transfer by a holder of one share of the type of security issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall provide for
adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 7(h). The provisions of this
Section 7(h)(ii) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes,
mergers or transfers.
(iii) If
at any time after the date hereof any change occurs in the outstanding capital
stock of the Company or any other event occurs as to which the other provisions
of this Section 7(h) are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would
not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder in accordance with such
provisions, then the independent members of the Board of Directors of the
Company shall, in their reasonable good faith judgment, make an adjustment in
the number and class of shares available under the Warrant, the Exercise Price
or the application of such provisions, as applicable, so as to protect such
purchase rights as aforesaid. The adjustment shall be such as to give
the Holder upon exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price the total number,
class and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had this Warrant been
exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares
until after the event requiring adjustment.
7
(iv) Whenever
the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 7(h), the Company
shall issue a certificate signed by its chief financial officer or other
executive officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the
adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment
was calculated, and the Exercise Price (and, if applicable, the number and type
of security for which the Warrant may be exercised) after giving effect to such
adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by first
class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder.
