COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
 ADAMIS PHARMACEUTICALS CORPORATION

 

	Warrant Shares: ___________________	 	Issue Date: July 11, 2016


  

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, _________, or its assigns (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 “Issue Date”) and on or prior to 11:59 P.M. on the five (5) year anniversary of the Issue Date or, if such day is not a Trading Day, on the next Trading Day (the “Termination Date”), but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to __________ shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of, at the election of the Holder, either (i) Common Stock, (ii) Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”), or (iii) a combination of Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock or Preferred 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 Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) or, as applicable, that certain Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) each dated as of the Issue Date and entered into by and between the Company and the initial Holder.

Section 2.             Exercise.

 

a)              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 Issue Date and on or before the Termination Date by facsimile 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 notice of exercise (the “Notice of Exercise”) in substantially the form of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto. Within two (2) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. In the case of a dispute between the Company and the Holder as to the calculation of the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder (including, without limitation, the calculation of any adjustment pursuant to Section 3 below), the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed within the time periods specified in Section 2(d)(i) below and shall submit the disputed calculations to a certified public accounting firm of national reputation (other than the Company’s regularly retained accountants) within three (3) Trading Days following the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice of Exercise. The Company shall cause such accountant to calculate the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder and to notify the Company and the Holder of the results in writing no less than three (3) Trading Days following the day on which such accountant received the disputed calculations. Such accountant’s calculation shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error. The fees of any such accountant shall be borne by the party whose calculations were most at variance with those of such accountant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (although the Holder may surrender the Warrant to, and receive a replacement Warrant from, the Company), 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. In the case of a partial exercise of this Warrant, the Holder may request that the Company deliver to the Holder a certificate representing such new warrant, with terms identical in all respects to this Warrant (except that such new warrant shall be exercisable into the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall remain unexercised); provided, however, that the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all or any portion of such new warrant at any time following the time at which this Warrant is exercised, regardless of whether the Company has actually issued such new warrant or delivered to the Holder a certificate thereof. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one (1) Trading Day of delivery 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.

 

b)             Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $2.90, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

c)             Cashless Exercise. If at any time commencing 120 days after the Issue Date, there is no then effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of all of the Warrant Shares (assuming Holder elects all Warrant Shares to be in the form of Common Stock upon exercise) by the Holder and all of the Conversion Shares beneficially held by the Holder (in each case without giving effect any restrictions on exercise or conversion), or if the Company has not provided any certifications required to be provided by the Registration Rights Agreement regarding the availability of the Registration Statement for resales of all of the Warrant Shares and all of the Conversion Shares beneficially held by the Holder (in each case without giving effect any restrictions on exercise or conversion) that has been requested by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at the Holder’s election, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) x (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.

 

“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 national securities exchange or trading market (with such exchange or market including, without limitation, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market, The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NYSE or Amex, or the OTC Bulletin Board including the OTCQX or OTCQB) (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. (or other reliable source) based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) (or such other time as the Trading Market publicly announces is the official open of trading) to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) (or such other time as the Trading Market publicly announces is the official close of trading), (b) if no daily volume weighted average prices are reported by Bloomberg (or other reliable source), the average of the highest closing bid price and the lowest closing ask price of any of the market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by OTC Markets LLC, or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as mutually determined by the Company and Holder.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, Holder may exercise any remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant by means of a cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c) by means of a notice delivered to the Company before the Termination Date. If on the Termination Date the VWAP is greater than the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder, then the Warrant shall be automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 2(c).

d)            Mechanics of Exercise.

 

i.             Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares (or, if the shares are represented in uncertificated form, comparable share notices reflecting such shares) purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent (“Transfer Agent” means the transfer agent employed by the Company from time to time, for its Common Stock) to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder (assuming Holder elects all Warrant Shares to be in the form of Common Stock upon exercise) or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise and Rule 144 is available, 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 date of delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). 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 of delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to make any cash payments or net cash settlement to the registered holder in lieu of issuance of the Warrant Shares, except as provided in Section 2(d)(iv) below. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares (assuming Holder elects all Warrant Shares to be in the form of Common Stock upon exercise) after the Warrant Share Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, if (i) the Company fails to deliver the number of Warrant Shares (assuming Holder elects all Warrant Shares to be in the form of Common Stock upon exercise) to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant within the time periods specified above and (ii) the Holder has not exercised its Buy-In rights as provided below with respect to such shares, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder for late issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant the proportionate amount of $100 per Trading Day (increasing to $200 per Trading Day after the tenth Trading Day) after the Warrant Share Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Exercise Price of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised which are not timely delivered. For purposes of clarification, if the Company is obligated to make payments of liquidated damages pursuant to this Section for late issuance of Warrant Shares, then it shall not also be obligated to make Buy-In payments as described below with respect to those same Warrant Shares. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.

 

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 the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the 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.           Revoking Exercise. In the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Warrant Shares to Holder by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then Holder may, at any time prior to issuance of such Warrant Shares, revoke all or part of the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the exercise of the relevant portion of this Warrant, except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation is given to the Company.

iv.           Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Warrant Shares to Holder by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder or its brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased, minus any amounts paid to the Holder by the Company as liquidated damages as described in Section 2(d)(i) above, exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

v.             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.

 

vi.            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. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise.

 

vii.          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.

e)              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 that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, (i) the Holder would beneficially own in excess of the Holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below) or (ii) the Holder, together with the Holder’s Affiliates and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of the Affiliates Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other securities of the Company or the Subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock, hereinafter “Common Stock Equivalents”) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 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 1934 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(e) 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 reasonable judgment of the Holder, in each case subject to the Holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation or the Affiliates Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day 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 “Holder 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 “Affiliates Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% 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 Beneficial Ownership Limitation together with the Affiliates Beneficial Ownership Limitation is collectively known as the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation.” 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(e) 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 and shall cease to apply only (x) upon sixty-one (61) days’ written notice from the Holder to the Company of an election to increase or decrease or remove one or both of the Holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the Affiliate Beneficial Ownership Limitation or (y) immediately upon written notice from the Holder to the Company at any time after the public announcement or other disclosure of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in Section 3(d)); provided, however that in no event shall either the Holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation or the Affiliate Beneficial Ownership Limitation be 20.00% or greater.

f)               Call. Provided (i) there is at the time an effective registration statement which includes for resale all of the Warrant Shares (assuming Holder elects all Warrant Shares to be in the form of Common Stock upon exercise), or (ii) all of the Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 upon “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) without restrictions, including, without volume limitations (each a “Trigger Condition”), the Company shall have the option to “call” (the “Warrant Call”) the exercise of any or all of the Warrant Shares (the “Called Warrant Shares”) from time to time in accordance with and governed by the following:

 

(1)           Call Notice. The Company shall exercise a Warrant Call by giving written notice of call (the “Call Notice”) to the Holder during the period in which the Warrant Call may be exercised. The effective date of each Call Notice (the “Call Date”) is the date on which notice is deemed given and effective under the notice provision of Section 5(h) of this Warrant.

 

(2)          Call Period. The Company’s right to exercise a Warrant Call shall commence five (5) Trading Days after either of the Trigger Conditions has been in effect continuously for fifteen (15) Trading Days. The Holder shall have the right to cancel the Warrant Call up until the date the called Warrant Shares are actually delivered to the Holder (“Warrant Call Delivery Date”) if the Trigger Condition relied upon for the Warrant Call ceases to apply.

 

(3)           Call Notice Spacing. A Call Notice may be given not sooner than fifteen (15) Trading Days after the Warrant Call Delivery Date of the immediately preceding Call Notice.

 

(4)          Exercise Price Multiple. If Holder and any affiliates together would be regarded as beneficial owners (assuming conversion of all convertible securities held by Holder and such affiliates and exercise in full of all Warrants held by such Holder and affiliates, without giving effect to any Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to this Warrant or such convertible securities), of more than two percent (2.0%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company as of the Issue Date (Holder, in such circumstances referred to as a “2% Holder”), then a Call Notice may be given by the Company only within five (5) Trading Days after any thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period during which the VWAP of the Common Stock as reported for the Principal Market is not less than two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Exercise Price then in effect for twenty-five (25) out of such thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period. If Holder is not a 2% Holder as of the Issue Date, then a Call Notice may be given by the Company only within ten (10) Trading Days after any twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period during which the VWAP of the Common Stock as reported for the Principal Market is not less than two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Exercise Price in effective for ten (10) out of such twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period.

 


7


	 


  

(5)           Compliance with Call Notice. During the Call Period, the Holder shall exercise this Warrant and purchase the Called Warrant Shares as provided herein. If the Holder fails to timely exercise the Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares equal to number of Called Warrant Shares during the Call Period, the Company’s sole remedy shall be to cancel an amount of called Warrant Shares equal to such shortfall, with the Warrant no longer being exercisable with respect to such Warrant Shares (for avoidance of doubt, such remedy shall be available if, and only if, the Trigger Condition relied upon for the Warrant Call continues to apply through the entirety of the Call Period). The “Call Period” shall be a period of thirty Trading Days following the Call Date, provided the Call Period will be extended for one Trading Day for each Trading Day during the Call Period during which the VWAP of the Common Stock as reported for the Principal Market is less than two hundred twenty-five percent (225%) of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

(6)           Notice to Other Holders. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Holder of this Warrant, a Call Notice must be given to all other Warrant Holders in proportion to the amounts of Warrant Shares which may be purchased by such Holders in accordance with the Warrants held by each, without giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

 

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 of shares of its Common Stock to the record holders 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 or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents), (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 in the case of an exercise for Common Stock only. In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price required herein results in a fraction of a cent, the Exercise Price shall be rounded down to the nearest one hundredth of a cent. 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 reclassification.

 


8


	 


  

b)              Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including, without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

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 Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security of the Company other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 3(b)) (a “Distribution”), then in each such case the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including, without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). To the extent that this Warrant has not been exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.

 


9


	 


  

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 pursuant to which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation are converted into or exchanged for shares of another corporation or entity and represent, or are converted into or exchanged for equity securities that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, less than a majority, by voting power, of the equity securities of (1) the surviving or resulting party or (2) if the surviving or resulting party is a wholly owned subsidiary of another party immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent of such surviving or resulting party, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions and the consideration is distributed to holders of Common Stock, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer by the Company 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 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, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group 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) (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, (without regard to the applicable of Section 2(c) nor any limitation in Section 2(e) 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 by holders of Common Stock 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 1934 Act, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction described in clause “(i)” of the first sentence above and where, pursuant to the merger, the stockholders of the Company will receive securities of the acquiring person or entity and such securities of such person or entity are not traded on a national securities exchange or trading market (with such exchange or market, including, without limitation, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market, The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NYSE or Amex), the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option which shall be exercised as of the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder concurrently with the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction for each Warrant Share that would be issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to the application of Section 2(c) nor any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the higher of (i) 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, or (ii) the positive difference between the cash per share paid in such Fundamental Transaction minus the then in effect Exercise Price. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of the unexercised portion 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) 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. In the event of a Fundamental Transaction described in clause “(i)” of the first sentence above, the Company shall cause any successor entity in such 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(d) 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, 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.

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.             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 any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii.            If (A) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than stock splits or reverse stock splits), 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 (other than stock splits or reverse stock splits), cash or property, or (B) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, to the extent that such information constitutes material non-public information (as determined in good faith by the Company) the Company shall follow the procedure described in Section 7.5 of the Purchase Agreement and shall deliver to the Holder, at least 10 days prior to the effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating 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 and shall not be deemed to be a material breach of this Warrant unless such failure adversely affected Holder’s rights with respect to the Warrant. 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.

 

g)               Adjustments. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder shall, upon exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 3. Any adjustment made herein that results in a decrease in the Exercise Price shall also effect a proportional increase in the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable.

 

Section 4.             Transfer of Warrant.

 

a)            Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, 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.

 


11


	 


  

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 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(d)(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 Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.

 


12


	 


  

d)               Authorized Shares.

 

i.             The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock and Preferred 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 Principal Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. 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).

 

ii.            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.

 

iii.           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 for resale or if Holder does not utilize cashless exercise and Rule 144 is available, will 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 the 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 the 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 the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder, if Holder is the prevailing party in any such action.

 


13


	 


 

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 the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or Preferred 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.
