4.2Until such time as this Warrant is exercised in full or expires the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.

 

5.Exercise of Warrant.

 

5.1The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder in whole or in part at any time prior to the Termination Date, by the surrender of this Warrant and delivery to the Company of a Notice of Exercise in substantially the form annexed as Exhibit A, duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, and upon payment of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares to be purchased either (a) in cash, by check or by wire transfer, or (b) by cancellation by the Holder of indebtedness of the Company owed to the Holder, or (c) by a combination of the methods described in clauses (a) and (b) above, or (d) pursuant to the cashless exercise method described in Section 5.2 below.

5.3Issuance Date; Partial Exercise; Conditional Exercise.

 

(a)Any term or provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the Person entitled to receive the shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as practicable on or after such date and in any event within three (3) days thereafter, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event that this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor exercisable for the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may then be exercised.

 

(b)Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of all or any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise) or any other transaction involving the Company of the type described in Section 12.1, such exercise may, at the election of the Holder, be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, and if such transaction does not occur on the scheduled date therefor the Holder  may, in its sole discretion, elect to rescind its election to exercise this Warrant.

 

5.4Company Covenant. The Company covenants that all securities which may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of all Taxes, liens and charges caused or created by the Company with respect to the issuance thereof and sufficient shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Warrant Shares.

 

5.5Dispute Resolution. In the case of any dispute as to the determination of any valuation of Warrant Stock, the calculation of the Exercise Price, the determination of Fair Market Value or any other computation or valuation required to be made hereunder or in connection herewith, in the event the Holder, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, are unable to settle such dispute within five (5) Business Days, then either party may elect to submit the disputed matter(s) for resolution by a reputable investment bank or another firm as may be mutually agreed upon by the Holder and the Company (the “Arbiter”). The Arbiter’s determination of such disputed matter(s) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error, and the Company and the Holder shall each pay one half of the fees and costs of such firm.

 

5.6Expiration. Subject to the proviso below, this Warrant shall automatically expire and be of no further force and effect without any action by the Holder immediately prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Termination Date; provided that if the Fair Market Value of one share of Warrant Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (on any automatic expiration or termination hereunder) then this Warrant will be deemed exercised as of such date (and prior to the event giving rise to such expiration) or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 5.2 above.

 

5.7Limitations on Exercise. The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and no holder of this Warrant (including the initial Holder) shall have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such  exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion 

4

 



 

of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Person and its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible shares or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a holder of this Warrant may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in the most recent of (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

6.No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

7.Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of like tenor and amount.

 

8.Certain Rights, etc.

 

8.1Rights of Holder. The Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of any Warrant Shares that may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised and the securities purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have been issued, as provided herein.

 

8.2Rule 144 Compliance. At all times following a Public Offering by the Company, for the purpose of making available to the Holder the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that may at any time permit a holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration statement, the Company shall (a) use reasonable commercial efforts to make and keep adequate public information available, as required by clause (c) of Rule 144; (b) use reasonable commercial efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (c) furnish, or otherwise make available to the Holder so long as the Holder owns shares of Warrant Stock, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed or furnished by the Company as the Holder may reasonably request in connection with the sale of common stock of the Company without registration.

9.Transfer of Warrant.

 

9.1Warrant Register. The Company will maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the name and address of the Holder. The Holder may change its address as shown on the Warrant Register by providing notice to the Company requesting such change.

Promptly, but in any event upon five (5) Business Days following receipt by the Company of such notice, the Company shall modify and adjust the Warrant Register, as necessary and appropriate, to reflect such transfer or assignment. The Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of Warrant Shares, if any) may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and transferee (including, without limitation, the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company).

If at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, is outstanding and unexpired there shall be (a) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a reverse triangular merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the capital stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise, or (b) a sale or transfer of the Company’s properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other Person, and if, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, provisions are made so that the holders of securities are thereafter entitled to receive cash or shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor entity resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, the Company shall then ensure that the Holder also shall be entitled to cash or shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor entity resulting from such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer as if this Warrant had been exercised in full immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 12. The Company represents and covenants that the foregoing provisions of this Section 12 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other entity which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the per share consideration payable to the Holder for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or freely marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by mutual agreement of the Holder and the Company, subject to Section 5.5. In all events, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

12.2Reclassification, Etc. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, intends to change any of the Warrant Shares as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, the Company represents and covenants that this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Warrant Share Amount shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 12.

12.3Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired the Company shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the same class, the Company represents and covenants that the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be.

 

12.4Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or Property. If while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, holders of Warrant Shares, or any security into which Warrant Shares are convertible, shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible security holders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional securities or property (other than cash) of the Company by way of dividend, then and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional securities or property (other than cash) of the Company which the Holder of this Warrant would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date thereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional securities available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 11.

 

12.5Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 12, the Company shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder the certificate described in Section 10.1 above. The Company shall, upon the written request, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments and the number of shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.

 

12.6No Impairment. The Company shall not, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 12 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the foregoing, if any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 12 but not expressly provided for by such provisions occurs (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company shall make an appropriate adjustment in the amount of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and/or the Exercise Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 12.

 

13.Certain Agreements; Registration Rights, etc.

 


	
(a)
	
After exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, the Holder shall, if the Company so requests in writing, become a party to, by execution and delivery to the Company of a counterpart signature page, joinder agreement, instrument of accession or similar instrument, the Registration Rights Agreement, as an investor stockholder party thereto, solely to the extent each such agreement is then by its terms in force and effect and has not been amended or otherwise modified in a manner adverse to the interests of the Holder as provided in such agreements as of the date hereof (except to the extent the Holder has given its prior written consent to such any such amendment or modification).

(b)
	
All common stock issuable upon conversion of Warrant Shares shall have the same "piggyback" registration rights as are set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, and by accepting this Warrant, the Holder agrees to be subject to corresponding obligations and restrictions of the holders of "piggyback" registration rights, including the market standoff obligations (of up to 180 days) contained in the Registration Rights Agreement, in each case whether or not the Holder becomes a party to such agreement pursuant to clause (a) above.




 

14.Severability. If any provision of this Warrant shall be declared void or unenforceable by any judicial or administrative authority, the validity of any other provision and of the entire Warrant shall not be affected thereby.

 

15.Legends. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of Shares, if any) shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

16.Governing Law. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS. Any claim, cause of action, suit or demand allegedly arising out of or related to this Warrant, or the relationship of the parties, shall be brought exclusively in the state courts of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan or the federal courts of the United States located in the Southern District of New York, and the parties irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objections they may have at any time to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue.

 

17.Counterparts; Facsimile. This Warrant may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile signatures shall be as effective as original signatures.
