Unless the rights represented by this Warrant have expired or been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Exercise Documents and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant, except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to exercise, less the number purchased.

(e) No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall issue a number of shares of Common Stock to Holder rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock. No cash shall be payable to any Holder upon exercise of the Warrant Shares.

(f) This Warrant shall not be exercisable for any shares (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall have no other value) if, in accordance with, and solely to the extent and in the circumstances specifically provided in, the definition of “Exercise Price,” this Warrant is “deemed to have no value”.

Section 3. Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. The Company hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees, as applicable, as follows:

(a) This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for or in replacement of this Warrant upon issuance will be, duly authorized, executed and delivered.

(b) All shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant have been duly authorized and when issued upon such exercise will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(c) As long as this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant at least the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the exercise in full of the rights then represented by this Warrant.

(d) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Common Stock may be issued without violation of any law or regulation applicable to the Company or of any requirement of any securities exchange applicable to the Company on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or traded.

Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed to (a) grant the Holder any rights to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the Company for any purpose, (b) confer upon the Holder any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, or (c) impose any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities or as a stockholder of the Company, whether asserted by the Company or creditors of the Company, prior to the exercise hereof.

Section 5. Representations of Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale. If Holder cannot make such representations because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to Holder’s exercise of this Warrant that the Company receives such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any federal or state securities laws. The Company shall not be penalized or disadvantaged by the Holder’s inability to exercise this Warrant due to its inability to make the required representations in connection with the exercise of this Warrant.

Section 6. Ownership and Transfer.

Subject to this Section 6, during the Restrictive Period, this Warrant, and any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant, may not be offered, sold, transferred or assigned by any Holder except pursuant to a Permitted Transfer. As used herein, the “Restrictive Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending upon the earliest of (A) the three-year anniversary of the Issuance Date, (B) a Qualified Public Offering and (C) an Event of Default.

(b) To the extent the Restrictive Period ends by reason of the occurrence of the three-year anniversary of the Issuance Date as provided in clause (i) of the definition thereof, and neither a Qualified Public Offering nor an Event of Default has occurred, this Warrant, and any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant, may only be offered, sold, transferred or assigned by any Holder with the prior written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or pursuant to a Permitted Transfer.

(c) All offers, sales, transfers and assignments of this Warrant, or any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant must also be made in accordance with the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws. Any attempted transfer of this Warrant, or any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant, in violation of this Section 6 shall be null and void ab initio.

All expenses (other than stock transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the new Warrants pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be paid by the Company.

 

10

(f) The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the Holder as the registered holder of this Warrant, and the Company shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder to the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares.

Section 7. Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares.

where:

 

  WS = the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification, as the case may be;

  N0 =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification, as the case may be; and

 

  N1 =

the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) in the case of a dividend or distribution, the sum of (A) the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution plus (B) the total number of shares issued pursuant to such dividend or distribution or (ii) in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification, the number of shares outstanding immediately after such subdivision, combination or reclassification.

 

11


Such adjustment shall become effective (i) in the case of a dividend or distribution, immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) in the case of a subdivision, split, combination or reclassification, immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date for such subdivision, split, combination or reclassification. If any dividend or distribution or subdivision, split, combination or reclassification of the type described in this Section 7(a) is declared or announced but not made, the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall again be adjusted to the number of Warrant Shares that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution or subdivision, split, combination or reclassification had not been declared or announced, as the case may be.

(b) In the event of (w) any or a subdivision, split, combination or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (x) any declaration or making of a dividend or other distribution to holders of Common Stock, (y) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, or (z) the entry into, or commitment by the Company to effect, any event described in clauses (a) or (b) of Section 8 (including a Change of Control), then the Company shall file with its corporate records and mail to the Holder at its last address as shown on the records of the Company, at least ten (10) days prior to the record or other date specified below, a notice stating:
