Palatin Technologies, Inc.

 

No. Series 2014 C ___________

 

Number of Shares of Common Stock: _____________

 

Date of Issuance:  December 23, 2014 (the “Issuance Date”)

 

 

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, _____________, the registered holder of this Warrant or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions set forth in this Warrant, at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, to subscribe for and purchase from Palatin Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to ______ shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock.

 

Section 1.                      Definitions.  Capitalized terms used in this Warrant have the meanings set forth in this Warrant including Section 14 below; provided, however, that capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated December 23, 2014, by and among the Company, the Holder and the other investors referred to therein.

 

  

  

  

 

Section 2.                      Exercise.

 

a) Exercise of Warrant.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant (including, without limitation, the limitation set forth in Section 2(d)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares), by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A or in such other form as is satisfactory to the Company (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant.  Within two (2) Trading Days following the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall make payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price (as defined in Section 2(b)) multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 2(c)).  The Holder shall not be required to surrender this Warrant in order to effect an exercise under this Warrant, unless the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available under this Warrant and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation as soon as practicable after the date the final Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company.  Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.  On or before the second Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by email or facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “Transfer Agent”).  The Company shall deliver any objection to the Exercise Notice on or before the second Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice.  In the event of any discrepancy or dispute as to the remaining number of Warrant Shares, the records of the Company and the Holder’s broker or brokers shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.  On or before the third Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, but not in any event prior to the time the Holder has delivered the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall, (X)  provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Direct Registration System (including any successor thereto, “DRS”) or The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (including any successor thereto, the “FAST Program”), upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to either the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit /Withdrawal At Custodian system, or to the Holder’s or its designee’s direct registration account, or (Y), if the Transfer Agent is not participating in either the DRS or FAST Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate (which shall be unlegended, provided that the Warrant Shares subject to the Exercise Notice are included in an effective Registration Statement or all applicable requirements of Rule 144, including the holding period thereof, are met, and subject in all cases to requirements of, and compliance with, securities laws then in effect), registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise.  Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC or DRS account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be.  If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 2(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 4(b)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.  The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any stamp or other tax or governmental charge required to be paid in connection with any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or any other Attribution Party (as defined below), and in the event that any such transfer is involved, the Company shall not be required to effect any such transfer until such tax or other charge shall have been paid or it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no such tax or other charge is due.  The Holder shall be responsible for all income tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant.  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 under this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase under this Warrant at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face of this Warrant.

b) Exercise Price.  The exercise price per share of Common Stock issuable under this Warrant shall be $0.01, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Warrant (the “Exercise Price”).

 

c) Cashless Exercise.  Upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise, the Holder can elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

 

Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)

                                                       B

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

	
  

	
A =

	
the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;

	
  

	
B =

	
the Weighted Average Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice; and

	
  

	
C =

	
the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

d) Beneficial Ownership Limitation on Exercises.  The Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, if (and then only to the extent that) after giving effect to such exercise, such Holder together with the other Attribution Parties (as defined below) collectively would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of 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 the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus 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 of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including the SPA Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 2(d).  For purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.  For purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”).  If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from a Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify such Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 2(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares.  For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, where such request indicates that it is being made pursuant to this Warrant, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail 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 the SPA Warrants, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported.  In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares.  Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% (except that such increased percentage may exceed 19.99% in the event that (x) the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market or applicable Eligible Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (y) the Company is not subject to rules of the Principal Market or applicable Eligible Market limiting issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount) as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of the SPA Warrants that is not an Attribution Party.  For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act.  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 the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 2(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.  The limitation as contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

For clarity, the purpose of the foregoing is to subject collectively the Holder and all other Attribution Parties to the Maximum Percentage.

e) Fractional Shares.  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 pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.

 

f) Failure to Timely Deliver Shares.  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DRS or DTC or through the FAST Program for such number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise pursuant to an exercise on or before the Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate or credit such Holder’s balance account with DRS or DTC (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DRS or DTC and  pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the date of the event giving rise to the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate.  The Company shall be liable for all payments to the Holder pursuant to this Section 2(f) and such payments shall be a liability and debt obligation of the Company, and the Holder shall be a creditor of the Company with respect to such obligation, that is immediately due and payable pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2(f).

Section 3.                      Certain Adjustments.

 

a) Stock Dividends and Splits.  If the Company, at any time from and after the Issuance Date and while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased, or (ii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this Section 3(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3(a) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features to the holders of the Company’s equity securities), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder as if it had been a holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitation on such exercise of this Warrant); provided, that no such adjustment will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3(a) in any manner that is adverse to the Holder.

 

b) Par Value.  The Company shall not subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares if it would cause the Exercise Price to be less than the par value of the Common Stock.

 

c) Rights Upon Distribution of Assets.  If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distributions of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to any or all holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the Issuance Date, 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 of this Warrant) 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 and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, 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 or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

d) Fundamental Transaction.

 

(1)           All Fundamental Transactions.

 

(a)           Upon the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction (and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction that) the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall succeed to, and the Company shall cause any Successor Entity or Successor Entities to jointly and severally succeed to, and be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company in this Warrant.

 

(b)           No later than (i) thirty (30) days prior to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction or (ii) if later, the first Trading Day following the date the Company first becomes aware of the occurrence or potential occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the holders of SPA Warrants (a “Fundamental Transaction Notice”).

 

(c)           The provisions of this Section 3(d) shall apply to each and every Fundamental Transaction and multiple Fundamental Transactions.

 

(2)           Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transactions.

 

(a)           Immediately upon exercise of this Warrant following the occurrence or consummation of a Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights), which for purposes of clarification may continue to be shares of Common Stock, if any, that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

(b)           Immediately upon occurrence or consummation of a Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction (and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of such Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction that) the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall comply with the requirements set forth in this Warrant.

 

(c)           It shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of such Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction that, under no circumstances may the Holder be treated better or in a manner more advantageous than the holders of shares of Common Stock in such Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction pursuant to the terms of this Section 3(d).

 

(3)           Company Controlled Fundamental Transactions.

 

(a)           Upon occurrence or consummation of a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall deliver to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant immediately upon the occurrence or consummation of Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction or at any time thereafter, as elected by the Holder solely at its option, (i) shares of Common Stock or Successor Capital Stock, (ii) such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights), which for purposes of clarification may continue to be shares of Common Stock, if any, that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant, or (iii) pursuant to and in accordance with the following paragraph, a cash payment equal to the Black Scholes Value of the elected portion of this Warrant (or, at the election of the Holder, any elected portion of this Warrant).

 

(b)           (i)  Without limiting in any manner any other rights, obligations and terms set forth in this Section 3(d) and in addition to any other rights set forth in this Section 3(d), and regardless of any provision in any agreement, contract or other document to which the Company or any Successor Entity is a party (including, without limitation the Purchase Agreement and the Warrants) that may be construed to limit the Company’s or any Successor Entity's obligation to make a payment pursuant to this paragraph, at the delivery of a request of the Holder (which request shall be made solely at the option of the Holder and the Holder has the sole right to determine whether or not to exercise such option) to the Company, the Successor Entity and/or the Successor Entities (a “Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice”) at any time and from time to time after the Holder becoming aware in any way of a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction (including through receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Notice), the Company and/or the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall (i) comply with their escrow obligations as set forth in the following paragraph and (ii) pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price with respect to, as elected and determined by the Holder solely at its option, all or a portion of the Warrant.  The Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice shall indicate the portion (which may be all of this Warrant) of this Warrant with respect to which the Holder is electing to receive the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price.  The Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall become liable for the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price and such payment shall be a liability and debt obligation of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, and the Holder shall be a creditor of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, with respect to such obligation, that is immediately due and payable upon the delivery by the Holder of the Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice.  The Holder may deliver one or more Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notices pursuant to this Warrant with respect to all or any portion of the Warrant.

(ii)           The Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall not effect a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction unless and shall not provide for or make any payment (of cash or otherwise) relating to any such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction unless (and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of any Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction that) the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall first (i) place into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the closing date of the Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction (the “Fundamental Transaction Escrow Deadline”), an amount of cash equal to the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price with respect to all SPA Warrants, to be paid by the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, in accordance with this Section 3(d)(3)(b) to holders of SPA Warrants that deliver any Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice in accordance with the preceding paragraph, and (ii) pay to the holders of SPA Warrants that deliver any Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice on or prior to the closing date of the Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction their applicable Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price.  Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice (or, if later, on the effective date of the Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction), the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall pay or shall instruct the escrow agent to pay the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to all applicable holders of SPA Warrants that have delivered a Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice.  For purposes of determining the amount required to be placed in escrow pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph and without affecting the amount of the actual Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price, the calculation of the price referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of Black Scholes Value with respect to Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock shall be determined based on the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the funds are deposited with the escrow agent.

 

  

10

  

 

(iii)           Following the receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice from the Holder, in the event that the Company or any Successor Entity attempts to consummate a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction without placing the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price in escrow in accordance with the provisions above or without payment of the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Holder prior to consummation of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, the Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction until the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price is paid to the Holder and the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities agree to waive any requirement by the Holder to post any bond in connection therewith.  It shall be a required condition precedent to the consummation of any Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction that, and no Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction may be consummated unless, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, have either (i) complied with the escrow deposit required above or (ii) confirmed with the Holder in writing that the Holder is not requiring such escrow deposit prior to consummation of the Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction.

 

(iv)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(d), until the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price is paid in full, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock and any part of this Warrant not so exercised or redeemed shall retain all of the other rights set forth in this Warrant.

 

(v)           The parties hereto agree that in the event of the early termination of any portion of this Warrant under this Section 3(d)(3)(b), the Holder’s actual damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict the losses of the Holder, future Common Stock market prices, other opportunities of the Holder had it not invested in this Warrant and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder.  Accordingly, any payment due under this Section 3(d)(3)(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a fair and reasonable estimate of the amount required to compensate the Holder for the Holder’s loss of its investment opportunity and not a penalty.  In the event that the Holder delivers a Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice pursuant to a Clause C Fundamental Transaction and the Company pays in full to the Holder, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 3(d)(3)(b), the related Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price, the Holder shall not be entitled to any other payment for damages under this Warrant solely in connection with such Clause C Fundamental Transaction.

(c)           In the event of a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, if the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, then solely at the request of the Holder (and in addition to and without limiting any other right under this Warrant), such Successor Entity or Entities shall deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant.  Such security shall be exercisable for a number of shares of capital stock of the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities (the “Successor Capital Stock”) equivalent (as set forth below) 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 Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction.  The number of shares of Successor Capital Stock to be delivered to Holder shall equal the quotient of (A) the Black Scholes Value of this Warrant at the time of consummation of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction divided by (B) the per share Closing Sale Price of such Successor Capital Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of the Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction.  Such security shall be satisfactory to the Holder, and with an identical exercise price to the Exercise Price under this Warrant.  The parties acknowledge that the determination of the number of shares of Successor Capital Stock as set forth above is for the purpose of protecting after the consummation or occurrence of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction the economic value of this Warrant that was in effect immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, as elected by the Holder solely at its option.

 

(d)           Any security issuable or potentially issuable to the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Warrant upon a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction shall be registered and freely tradable by the Holder without any restriction or limitation or the requirement to be subject to any holding period pursuant to any applicable securities laws.

 

(4)           Clarifications.  For purposes of clarification and without limiting any rights set forth in this Warrant, (i) upon any Fundamental Transaction or at any time thereafter, at the Holder’s request, the Holder shall have the right to require the Company and/or the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, to deliver upon the occurrence or consummation (and it shall be a required condition to such occurrence or consummation) of the Fundamental Transaction, in satisfaction of this Warrant (but not in lieu of Distributions and Purchase Rights still issuable under Sections 3(c) and 3(e), which shall continue to be receivable on the Common Stock or on the such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property otherwise receivable with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock), such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights and any shares of Common Stock) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction, had this Warrant been exercised in full (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant) with such Holder becoming a holder of such shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction; (ii) the purpose of this Section 3(d) is to assure that in all circumstances of any Fundamental Transaction or similar corporate type transaction, the Holder will have rights no worse (and, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, no better) in any way than or adversely affected relative to or in any manner not as advantageous (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, disadvantageous) as those of a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant) as if this Warrant had already been exercised into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction and shall not receive worse (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, better) treatment, be prejudiced or adversely affected relative to or treated in any manner not as advantageous (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, disadvantageous) as the treatment afforded to any holders of shares of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction or similar corporate type transaction by virtue of the fact that the Holder holds this Warrant rather than the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant); (iii) it is specifically intended that no Person attempt to structure a transaction in any manner to circumvent the intent of this Section 3(d) and therefore the provisions of this Section 3(d) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d) to the extent necessary to correct this Section 3(d) or any portion of this Section 3(d) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended treatment of the Holder or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such treatment as no worse (and, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, no better) in any way than or adversely affected relative to or in any manner not as advantageous (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, disadvantageous) as a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant) in any Fundamental Transaction or similar corporate type transaction as contained in this Warrant; (iv) it is specifically intended, among other events and transactions, that any tender offer or similar transaction made with respect to the Company or 50% or more of the Common Stock shall be deemed a Fundamental Transaction under this Warrant; (v) notwithstanding any provision of this Warrant that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Holder has an express right to receive at least the same proportion and amount of cash, if any, per Warrant Share (provided, that the foregoing shall in no way limit the rights of the Holder, solely at its option, to receive the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price entirely in cash) that each holder of a share of Common Stock is entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity or Successor Entities, upon any Fundamental Transaction (such as a cash merger or cash tender offer) where cash comprises any portion of the applicable consideration or payment, that it would have been entitled to receive had it exercised this Warrant prior to the Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant); and (vi) the provisions of this Section 3(d) may not be waived, modified or otherwise implemented otherwise than in strict conformity with the intention of this Section 3(d) and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant and any Successor Entity or Successor Entities.

e) Purchase Rights.  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3 above, if at any time after the Issuance Date and prior to the Expiration Date the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property 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 of this Warrant) 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, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Common Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

f) 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.

 

Section 4.                      Transfer of Warrant.

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.  This Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares prior to having a new Warrant issued.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(b), in no event shall this Warrant be subdivided into units of less than 5,000 Warrant Shares (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar events) and such new Warrants shall not be further subdivided.  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 include reference to 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 of this Warrant from time to time.

Section 5.

	
Reservation of Warrant Shares.

 

a) [Intentionally Omitted]

 

b) Reservation.  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as provided in this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant and taking into account the adjustments and restrictions in Section 3), free from preemptive or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder.  The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, will be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.  The Company will take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided in this Warrant without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

Section 6.                      Miscellaneous.

 

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise.  Except as otherwise provided in this Warrant, this Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights nor any right to receive notice of meetings or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise of this Warrant as set forth in Section 2.

 

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, 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) Noncircumvention.  The Company covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) shall, for so long as this Warrant is outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant).

 

d) 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 in this Warrant shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next Business Day.

 

e) Governing Law and Jurisdiction.  This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.  The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute under this Warrant or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated in this Warrant or discussed in this Warrant, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  The Company hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address it set forth on the signature page to this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder.  THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE UNDER THIS WARRANT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

f) Dispute Resolution.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via email or facsimile within two Trading Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder.  If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares within five Trading Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two Trading Days submit via email or facsimile (a) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent, outside accountant.  The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than 10 Trading Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations.  Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.  The expenses of the investment bank and accountant will be borne by the Company, unless the investment bank or accountant determines that the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares by the Company was correct, in which case the expenses of the investment bank and accountant will be borne by the Holder.

 

g) Restrictions and Rule 144.  The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant are not registered.  For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date of this Warrant, it is intended that, and the Company acknowledges and agrees that, the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.  The Company agrees to take all actions, including, without limitation, the issuance by its legal counsel of any necessary legal opinions required by its transfer agent or otherwise, necessary to issue the Warrant Shares in a Cashless Exercise without restriction and not containing any restrictive legends without the need for any action by the Holder; provided, that, in the case of a Cashless Exercise effected between the six month anniversary and the one year anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Company has satisfied the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c).

 

  

16

  

 

h) Nonwaiver.  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right under this Warrant on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.

 

i) 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.  The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant, including, in reasonable detail, a description of such action and the reason or reasons therefor.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) reasonably promptly following any adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least 10 days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the shares of Common Stock, (B) with respect to any events that give rights to the Holder pursuant to Section 3(e) of this Warrant or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation; provided, that in each case, such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.

 

j) Limitation of Liability.  No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration in this Warrant 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.

 

k) 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 and further agrees to waive any requirement by the Holder to post any bond.

n) 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.

 

o) 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.

If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall (i) pay a dividend with respect to its Common Stock, which dividend is payable in Common Stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, effective as of the date immediately following the date of determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution; or (ii) make any other distribution with respect to Common Stock (except any distribution specifically provided for in Sections 4(a) and 4(b)), then, in each such case, provision shall be made by the Company such that the holder of this Warrant shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant a proportionate share of any such dividend or distribution as though it were the holder of the Shares as of the record date fixed for the determination of the shareholders of the Company entitled to receive such dividend or distribution.

 

(d) Adjustment of Number of Shares.  Upon each adjustment in the Warrant Price required pursuant to Section 4(c) above, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately thereafter.

 

5. Notice of Adjustments.  Whenever the Warrant Price or the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Company shall make a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Warrant Price and the number of Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (without regard to Section 13 hereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the holder of this Warrant.

 

6. Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor based on the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

7. Compliance with Securities Act; Disposition of Warrant or Shares of Common Stock.

 

(a) Compliance with Securities Act.  The holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant and the Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired for investment and that such holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, or any such Shares, except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any applicable state securities laws.  Upon exercise of this Warrant, unless the Shares being acquired are registered under the Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, the holder hereof shall confirm in writing that the Shares so purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale in violation of the Act and shall confirm such other matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Company.  This Warrant and all Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENTS RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED.”

 

Said legend shall be removed by the Company, upon the written request of the holder of this Warrant or the Shares, as applicable, at such time as the restrictions on the transfer of the applicable security shall have terminated.  In addition, in connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the holder specifically represents to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows:

 

(1) The holder is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition, and has acquired information about the Company sufficient to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire this Warrant.  The holder is acquiring this Warrant, and will acquire any Shares to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof in violation of the Act.

 

(2) The holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant have not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the holder’s investment intent as expressed herein.

 

(3) The holder further understands that this Warrant and the Shares to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under any applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from registration and qualification are otherwise available.  The holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Act (“Rule 144”).

 

  

4

  

 

(4) The holder is (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Act and (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Act or a “large institutional accredited investor.”

 

(b) Disposition of Warrant or Shares.  With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant prior to registration of such Warrant or Shares, the holder hereof agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such holder’s counsel, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state securities law then in effect) of this Warrant or the Shares and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates for this Warrant or the Shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law.  Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion or other evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable but no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the written notice, shall notify such holder that such holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or such Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company.  If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 7(b) that the opinion of counsel for the holder or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the holder promptly with details thereof after such determination has been made.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant or such Shares may, as to such federal laws, be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Act (“Rule 144A”), provided that the Company shall have been furnished with such information as the Company may reasonably request to provide a reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 or Rule 144A, as applicable, have been satisfied.  Each certificate representing this Warrant or the Shares thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the holder, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws.  The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.

 

(c) Applicability of Restrictions.  Neither any restrictions of any legend described in this Warrant nor the requirements of Section 7(b) above shall apply to any transfer of, or grant of a security interest in, this Warrant (or the Shares obtainable upon exercise thereof) or any part hereof (i) to a partner of the holder if the holder is a partnership or to a member of the holder if the holder is a limited liability company, (ii) to a partnership of which the holder is a partner or to a limited liability company of which the holder is a member, (iii) to any affiliate of the holder, (iv) notwithstanding the foregoing, to any corporation, company, limited liability company, limited partnership, partnership, or other person managed or sponsored by [Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (“HRZN”)]/[ Drawbridge Special Opportunities Fund L.P. (“Fortress”)] or in which [HRZN/Fortress] has an interest, (v) or to a lender to the holder or any of the foregoing; provided, however, in any such transfer, if applicable, the transferee shall on the Company’s request agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Warrant as if an original holder hereof.

8. Rights as Shareholders; Information.  No holder of this Warrant, as such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock which may at any time be issuable upon the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, 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 receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will transmit to the holder of this Warrant such information, documents and reports as are generally distributed to the holders of Common Stock concurrently with the distribution thereof to the shareholders.

 

9. Registration Rights.  The Shares issuable hereunder initially shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act.  Following the Date of Grant, and in any case within ninety (90) days thereof, the Company shall promptly prepare, file and use its reasonable efforts to cause to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter, a registration statement on Form S-1 or such other form as may be appropriate to be filed with the SEC by the Company under the Act (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, whether prior to or after the effective date thereof, the “Resale Registration Statement”) covering the public resale in the United States of the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Warrant, and the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to keep the Resale Registration Statement continuously effective during the Term.  Any such registration shall be subject to the customary terms and conditions used in connection with resale prospectuses.  The Company’s obligations under this Section 9 are contingent upon the holder of this Warrant providing promptly all information concerning such holder and its proposed plan of distribution as the Company may reasonably request in connection with any of the foregoing.  The Company may by written notice to the holder of this Warrant immediately suspend the use of any resale prospectus for a period not to exceed sixty (60) consecutive days in any one instance and for a period not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) calendar days in any twelve-month period (each, a “Suspension Period”) at any time that (i) the Company becomes engaged in a business activity or negotiation or any other event has occurred or is anticipated which is not disclosed in that prospectus which the Company reasonably believes should be disclosed therein under applicable law and which the Company desires to keep confidential for business purposes or (ii) the Company determines that a particular disclosure determined to be required to be disclosed therein would be premature or would adversely affect the Company or its business or prospects.  The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Resale Registration Statement may be resumed as soon as practicable.  The Company shall bear all costs and expenses associated with the registration of the Shares as specified in this Section 9 and the preparation and filing of the Resale Registration Statement, including, without limitation, all printing expenses, legal fees and disbursement of the Company’s outside counsel, commissions, NYSE MKT and blue sky registration filing fees and transfer agents’ and registrars’ fees, but not including underwriting commissions or similar charges and legal fees and disbursements of counsel to the holder of this Warrant.

 

10. Additional Rights.

 

10.1           Acquisition Transactions.  The Company shall, to the extent not prohibited by contract or applicable law, provide the holder of this Warrant with at least twenty (20) days’ written notice prior to closing thereof of the terms and conditions of any of the following transactions (to the extent the Company has notice thereof): (i) the sale, lease, exchange, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s property or business, or (ii) its merger into or consolidation with any other corporation (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), or any transaction (including a merger or other reorganization) or series of related transactions, in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is disposed of.

10.2           Right to Convert Warrant into Stock:  Net Issuance.

 

(a) Right to Convert.  In addition to and without limiting the rights of the holder of this Warrant under the terms of this Warrant, the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to convert this Warrant or any portion thereof (the “Conversion Right”) into shares of Common Stock as provided in this Section 10.2 at any time or from time to time during the Term.  Upon exercise of the Conversion Right with respect to a particular number of Shares (the “Converted Warrant Shares”), the Company shall deliver to the holder of this Warrant (without payment by such holder of any exercise price or any cash or other consideration) that number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock as is determined according to the following formula:

 

X =   B - A

Y

 

	
  

	
Where:   X  =

	
the number of Shares that shall be issued to the holder of this Warrant

 

	
  

	
Y  =

	
the fair market value of one share of Common Stock as of the date of exercise

 

	
  

	
A  =

	
the aggregate purchase price for the specified number of Converted Warrant Shares immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right (i.e., the number of Converted Warrant Shares multiplied by the applicable Warrant Price)

 

	
  

	
B  =

	
the aggregate fair market value of the specified number of Converted Warrant Shares (i.e., the number of Converted Warrant Shares multiplied by the fair market value of one Converted Warrant Share)

 

No fractional shares shall be issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Right, and, if the number of shares to be issued determined in accordance with the foregoing formula is other than a whole number, the Company shall pay to the holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the resulting fractional share on the Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined).  For purposes of Section 10 of this Warrant, shares issued pursuant to the Conversion Right shall be treated as if they were issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

(b) Method of Exercise.  The Conversion Right may be exercised by the holder of this Warrant by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with a written statement (which may be in the form of Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2 hereto) specifying that such holder thereby intends to exercise the Conversion Right and indicating the number of Converted Warrant Shares being surrendered in connection with the exercise of the Conversion Right.  Such conversion shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant together with the aforesaid written statement, or on such later date as is specified therein (the “Conversion Date”), and, at the election of the holder hereof, may be made contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Company’s Common Stock to the public in a public offering pursuant to a registration statement under the Act (a “Public Offering”).  Certificates for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Right and, if applicable, a new warrant evidencing the balance of the Shares available for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be issued as of the Conversion Date and shall be delivered to the holder within thirty (30) days following the Conversion Date; provided, however, if requested by the holder of this Warrant, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to deliver the certificate representing Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant to a broker or other person (as directed by the holder exercising this Warrant) within the time period required to settle any trade made by the holder after exercise of this Warrant.

 

  

7

  

 

(c) Determination of Fair Market Value.  For purposes of this Section 10.2, “fair market value” of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:

 

(i) If the Conversion Right is exercised in connection with and contingent upon a Public Offering, and if the Company’s registration statement relating to such Public Offering (“Registration Statement”) has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering.

 

(ii) If the Conversion Right is not exercised in connection with and contingent upon a Public Offering, then as follows:

 

(A)           If traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock on such exchange over the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Determination Date;

 

(B)           If traded on an over-the-counter system, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock over the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Determination Date; and

 

(C) If there is no public market for the Common Stock, then fair market value shall be determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company.

 

If closing prices or closing bid prices are no longer reported by a securities exchange or other trading system, the closing price or closing bid price shall be that which is reported by such securities exchange or other trading system at 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the applicable trading day.

 

10.3           Exercise Prior to Expiration. To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised as to all of the Shares subject hereto, and if the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Price then in effect, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to Section 10.2 above (even if not surrendered) immediately before its expiration.  For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock upon such expiration shall be determined pursuant to Section 10.2(c).  To the extent this Warrant or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 10.3, the Company agrees to promptly notify the holder hereof of the number of Shares, if any, the holder hereof is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.

11. Representations and Warranties.  The Company represents and warrants to the holder of this Warrant, on and as of the date hereof, and on each date of exercise or conversion of all or any portion of this Warrant, as follows:

(b) The Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance by the Company and, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from preemptive rights, taxes, liens and charges.

The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the classes and series of the Company’s capital stock and the holders thereof are as set forth in the Charter.

 

(d) The execution and delivery of this Warrant are not, and the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof will not be, inconsistent with the Company’s Charter or by-laws, and do not and will not contravene in any material respect any law, governmental rule or regulation, judgment or order applicable to the Company.  Except as waived by named purchasers with respect to their certain rights under the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of July 2, 2012 between the Company and said named purchasers, and under the warrants issued pursuant thereto, the execution and delivery of this Warrant do not and will not conflict with or contravene any provision of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument of which the Company or its Subsidiary is a party or by which it or its Subsidiary is bound or require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration or filing with or the taking of any action in respect of or by, any Federal, state or local government authority or agency or other person, except for the filing of notices pursuant to federal and state securities laws and requirements of the NYSE MKT, which filings will be effected by the time required thereby.  “Subsidiary” means any corporation or other entity of which a majority of the outstanding equity securities entitled to vote for the election of directors or other governing body (otherwise than as the result of a default) is owned by the Company directly or indirectly.

 

(e) There are no actions, suits, audits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or before any governmental commission, board or authority which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

  

9

  

 

(f) The number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on the date hereof, on a fully diluted basis (assuming the conversion of all outstanding convertible securities and the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants), does not exceed [________] shares.

 

12. Modification and Waiver.  This Warrant and any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.

 

13. Notices.  Any notice, request, communication or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the holder hereof or the Company shall be delivered, or shall be sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to each such holder at its address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at the address indicated therefor on the signature page of this Warrant.

 

14. Binding Effect on Successors.  This Warrant shall be binding upon any entity succeeding the Company by merger or consolidation, and all of the obligations of the Company relating to the Shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant shall survive the exercise, conversion and termination of this Warrant and all of the covenants and agreements of the Company shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the holder hereof.

 

15. Lost Warrants or Stock Certificates.  The Company covenants to the holder hereof that, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate.

 

16. Descriptive Headings.  The descriptive headings of the various Sections of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant.  The language in this Warrant shall be construed as to its fair meaning without regard to which party drafted this Warrant.

 

17. Governing Law.  This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

18. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.  All representations and warranties of the Company and the holder hereof contained herein shall survive the Date of Grant, the exercise or conversion of this Warrant (or any part hereof) or the termination or expiration of rights hereunder.  All agreements of the Company and the holder hereof contained herein shall survive indefinitely until, by their respective terms, they are no longer operative.

 

19. Remedies.  In case any one or more of the covenants, representations and warranties or agreements contained in this Warrant shall have been breached, the holders hereof (in the case of a breach by the Company), or the Company (in the case of a breach by a holder), may proceed to protect and enforce their or its rights either by suit in equity and/or by action at law, including, but not limited to, an action for damages as a result of any such breach and/or an action for specific performance of any such covenant or agreement contained in this Warrant.

 

  

10

  

 

20. No Impairment of Rights.  The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through any other means, 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 action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against impairment.

 

21. Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Warrant in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, or affect any other provision of this Warrant, which shall remain in full force and effect.

 

22. Recovery of Litigation Costs.  If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Warrant, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Warrant, the successful or prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it or they may be entitled.

 

23. Entire Agreement; Modification.  This Warrant constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter contained in it and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and undertakings of the parties, whether oral or written, with respect to such subject matter.
