THIS
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, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise
Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the five (5) year
anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”)
but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Generex Biotechnology

_________ shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of
Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share. The purchase price of one
share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price,
as defined in Section 2(b).
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 January 24, 2011, among the Company and the purchasers signatory
thereto. For purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have
the following meanings:
a) “Convertible
Securities” means any stock or securities (other than Options) directly
or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of
Common Stock.
b) “Options” means any
rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock
or Convertible Securities.
Section
2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of
Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the
Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the
Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by
notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder
appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the
Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto; and, within three (3) Trading Days of
the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall
have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby
purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank and,
if this Warrant is exercised in full, the Holder shall have surrendered this
Warrant to the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant
to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares
available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case,
the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within
three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to
the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases
of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall
have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares
purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such
purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of
Exercise Form within 1 Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by
acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the
provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant
Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder
at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face
hereof. For this purpose, the Company’s records shall be
conclusively binding on any transferee or assignee.
b) Exercise
Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under
this Warrant shall be $0.25 subject to adjustment
hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Mechanics of
Exercise.
i. Delivery of Certificates
Upon Exercise. Certificates for 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 if the
Company is then a participant in such system and there is an effective
Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or
resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery to
the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that
is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (i) the delivery to the Company of
the Notice of Exercise Form, (ii) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and
(iii) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (such date, the
“Warrant Share
Delivery Date”). If all or any portion of a Warrant is
exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover
the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares or if the legend is not required
under applicable securities laws, such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of
all legends. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on
the first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to the
Company. 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 date
the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise
Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to
Section 2(c)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid. If the
Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder certificates evidencing
the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery
Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and
not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise
(based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of
Exercise), $10 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after such
Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder
rescinds such exercise.
“VWAP” means, for any
date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies:
(a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily
volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest
preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed
or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m.
(New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time), (b) if the Common
Stock then is listed or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or OTCQB and the OTC
Bulletin Board or OTCQB is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average
price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the
OTC Bulletin Board or OTCQB, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or
quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or OTCQB and if prices for the
Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink OTC
Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions
of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so
reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by
the Holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and
reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be
paid by the Company.
ii. Delivery of New Warrants
Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in
part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this
Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this
Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this
Warrant.
iii. Rescission
Rights. 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 Section 2(c)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date,
then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. 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.
v. Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. Issuance of certificates for 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.
vi. Closing of
Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or
records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.
vi. Cashless
Exercise. Cashless Exercise. If at the time of
exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the
prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of, the Warrant
Shares to the Holder and all of the Warrant Shares are not then registered for
resale by the Holder into the market at market prices from time to time on an
effective registration statement for use on a continuous basis (or the
prospectus contained therein is not available for use), then this Warrant may
also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless
exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the
number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)]
by (A), where:
(A)
= the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder
elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth
in the applicable Notice of Exercise;
(B)
= the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X)
= the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by
means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
d) 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 (but only to the
extent) that 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 this Section 2(d), 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(d) 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. Upon the written or oral
request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally
and 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(d), 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(d) shall continue to
apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the
61st
day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of
this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in
strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) 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.
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) Issuance of Shares of Common
Stock. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding ,
issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3(b) is deemed to have
issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of
shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but
excluding any Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) issued or
sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the
"New Issuance
Price") less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such lesser
price being referred to as the "Applicable Price")
(the foregoing a "Dilutive Issuance"),
then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect
shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 3(b), the following
shall be applicable:
i.
Issuance of
Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any
Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option
is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be
deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the
time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For
purposes of this Section 3(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one
share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon
exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any
one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise
of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible
Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. Except as contemplated below, no
further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance
of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the
exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common
Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
ii. Issuance of Convertible
Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any
Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of
Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is
less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed
to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of
the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per
share. For the purposes of this Section 3(b)(ii), the "lowest price
per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion,
exercise or exchange thereof" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one
share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and
upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. Except as
contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made
upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or
sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for
which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other
provisions of this Section 3(b), except as contemplated below, no further
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or
sale.
iii. Change in Option Price or
Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any
Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue,
conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at
which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock decreases at any time, the Exercise
Price in effect at the time of such decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise
Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
Convertible Securities provided for such decreased purchase price, additional
consideration or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(b)(iii), if
the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the
date of issuance of this Warrant are decreased in the manner described in the
immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the
shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange
thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such
decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall be made
if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in
effect.
iv. Calculation of Consideration
Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or
sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated
transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by
the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a
consideration of $0.01. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold
for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net
amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options
or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than
cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair
value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of
publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received
by the Company for such securities will be the average VWAP of such security for
the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date of receipt. If
any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the
owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the
Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be
deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of
the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any
consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined
jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach
agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring
valuation (the "Valuation Event"),
the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading
Days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an
independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder.
The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties
absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne
by the Company.
v. Record
Date. For purposes of this Section 3(b), if the Company takes
a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling
them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common
Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date
will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock
deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the
making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of
subscription or purchase (as the case may be).
vi. Number of Warrant
Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the
Exercise Price pursuant this paragraph b), the number of Warrant
Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased,
so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for
the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to
any limitations on exercise contained herein
c) Pro Rata
Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the
Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash
dividends) ,any security other than Common Stock, or rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common
Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that
the Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof, in addition to the Warrant Shares
issuable hereunder, the kind and amount of indebtedness, assets, securities or
rights of the Company which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had
this Warrant been exercised into Warrant Shares on the date of such event and
had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and
including the Exercise Date, retained any such securities receivable, giving
application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section
3 with respect to the rights of the Holder; provided that in the event it is
impractical to distribute or issue the same evidence of indebtedness, assets,
securities or rights on the Exercise Date, the Company may pay cash equal to the
value of such of indebtedness, assets, securities or rights, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
d) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the
Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any
merger or consolidation of the Company 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, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company
or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding
Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of
the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common
Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or
property, (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business
combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization,
spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person
acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including
any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or
party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to,
such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a
“Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the
Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such
Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any
limitation in Section 2(d) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of
shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the
Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration
(the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by
a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to
any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For
purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be
appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the
amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common
Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the
Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a
Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3
transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, or (3) a
Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national
securities exchange, including, but not limited to, the Nasdaq Global Select
Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company or
any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option,
exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the
consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the
Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes
Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value”
means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing
Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”)
determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate
corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between
the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction
and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of
100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as
of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) if applicable, the underlying price per
share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being
offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any,
being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time
equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date. The Company shall
cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is
not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to
assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and
the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 3(f) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable
delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the
holder of this Warrant, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a
security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially
similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a
corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its
parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and
receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on
the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an
exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of
capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of
Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such
shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such
exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this
Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction),
and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon
the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall
succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such
Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the
Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and
shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the
other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had
been named as the Company herein. The provisions of this paragraph
shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and
shall be applied as if this Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants) were
fully exercisable and without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this
Warrant (provided that the Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit
of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, applied however, with respect to shares
of capital stock registered under the Exchange Act and thereafter receivable
upon exercise of this Warrant (or any such other warrant)).
e) Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3,
the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a
given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
f) Notice to
Holder.
i.
Adjustment to Exercise
Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision
of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice
setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by
Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall
declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common
Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common
Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital
stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the
Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common
Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary
or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder
at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company,
at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or
warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of
the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,
redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange
is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect
therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate
action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that
any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public
information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall
simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report
on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this
Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective
date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly
set forth herein.
Section
4. Transfer of
Warrant.
a) Transferability. This
Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any
registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of
this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form
attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds
sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such
transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the
Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the
assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations
specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a
new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this
Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The Warrant, if properly
assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the
purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants. This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued,
signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance
with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or
combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated
the initial issuance date set forth on the first page of this Warrant and shall
be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares
issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register. The
Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”),
in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the
contrary.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder
Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company
prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(c)(i).
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or
Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to
the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall
not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of
such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of
any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not
be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized
Shares.
The
Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of
shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants
that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its
officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to
execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will
take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant
Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law
or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the
Common Stock may be listed or quoted. The Company covenants that all
Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance
herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the
issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring
contemporaneously with such issue).
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not
by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of
incorporation 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 of this
Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in
par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be,
necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the
Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents
thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the
Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The
Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant, if not registered pursuant to an effective registration statement may
have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities
laws.
g) Nonwaiver and
Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to
exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of
such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or
remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the
Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with
any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the
Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to
cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in
collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its
rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices. Any
notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered
to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice
provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i)
Limitation
of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any
affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall
give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock
or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the
Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Remedies. The
Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law,
including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its
rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages
would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach
by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to
assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
k) Successors and
Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant
and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the
successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this
Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of
this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant
Shares.
l) Amendment. This
Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.
m) Severability. Wherever
possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of
this Warrant.
n) Headings. The
headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and
shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
