If an Indemnified Party is reimbursed hereunder for any expenses, such reimbursement of expenses shall be refunded to the extent it is finally judicially determined that the Liabilities in question resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Consilium.

(f)  Compliance with Securities Laws.

a. The Holder of a Warrant Certificate, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges and agrees that the Warrant Certificate and the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of the Warrants or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon the exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company that the Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

b. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2(e), the Company agrees to reissue Warrant Certificates or certificates representing any of the Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such proposed transfer will not be effected until:

i. either (a) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (b) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (of which the Company shall not be obligated to do so) and has become effective under the Securities Act, or (c) the Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or

 

ii. either (a) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (b) compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder as soon as is practicable, but in no event later than five (5) business days after the Company’s receipt of such notice. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 2(e)(c), the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company.

  

4

  

 

The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 2(e) shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to register the Warrant Stock under the Securities Act or under any state securities act or laws. Furthermore, the Company shall not be obligated to execute or file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any state or other jurisdiction, nor shall the officers, directors and five percent (5%) or greater shareholders be required to deposit in escrow any securities of the Company owned by them or subject such securities to any form of lockup arrangement in connection with any registration of the Warrant Stock. The Company shall use its good faith reasonable efforts to cause such Warrant Stock covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities of the United States or any state thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Holder or Holders thereof to consummate the disposition of such Warrant Stock.

(g) 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, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, 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 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 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 (g), beneficial ownership and a determination as to any group status shall be calculated and/or determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section (g) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For purposes of this Section (g), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, 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 two business days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section (g). Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section (g) 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.

(a) Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Warrant Certificates, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all liens and encumbrances created by or through the Company, other than those imposed by applicable federal or state securities laws. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the Warrants may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of the Warrants a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock required to provide for the exercise of the Warrants.

 

(b) Covenants. The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of its Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrant Certificates, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Company Common Stock, free and clear of any liens and encumbrances (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of the Warrants, and (iv) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(c) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.

4. Effect of Reorganization, Etc.

(a) Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall with the express written consent of the Financial Advisor (i) effect a reorganization, (ii) consolidate with or merge into any other Person, or (iii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder, on the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive (from the surviving entity or the parent of the surviving entity in a reorganization, consolidation or merger), in lieu of the Warrant Stock issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger (the amount of which shall be computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which such transaction was predicated) or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised the Warrants, immediately prior thereto.

(b) Assumption of Warrant; Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer referred to in this Section 4, approved by the Financial Advisor, this Agreement shall be assumed by the surviving entity or the parent of the surviving entity (as applicable) in any such reorganization, consolidation or merger (as applicable), shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise of the Warrants after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the Company of any such stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the Person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Agreement.

5. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall with the consent of the Financial Advisor (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock issued by the Company (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Warrant Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Warrant Price then in effect. The Warrant Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 5. The number of shares of Warrant Stock that the Holder shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 2, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Warrant Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 5) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Warrant Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 5) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise (taking into account the provisions of this Section 5). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Exercise Price be less than the par value of the Common Stock.

 

  

7

  

 

6. Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

 

(a) In the event the Company, with the consent of the Financial Advisor, shall at any time following the Original Issue Date issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in Section 4 and 5, and other than in connection with the purchase or acquisition of the assets, other than cash and cash equivalents, of another Person), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price then in effect or without consideration (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

	 	 	
Adjusted Warrant Price = (OS x WP) + NI

	 	 	
OS+ NS

	 	 	 
	
Where

	 	
OS = Outstanding shares of Common Stock prior to the Dilutive Issuance:

	 	 	 
	 	 	
WP = Warrant Price in effect prior to the Dilutive Issuance.

	 	 	 
	 	 	
NI = Aggregate consideration received by the Company upon the Dilutive Issuance in dollars.

	 	 	 
	 	 	
NS = Number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in the Dilutive Issuance.

(b) No Adjustment for Exercise of Common Stock Equivalents. No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants shall be exercisable shall be made under Section 6(a) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock that are issued pursuant to the exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section 6(c).

 

(c) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If at any time the Company shall issue or sell any Common Stock Equivalents, with the consent of the Financial Advisor, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the aggregate price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange plus the consideration received by the Company for issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent (the “Aggregate Per Common Share Price”) shall be less than the Warrant Price then in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall make the Aggregate Per Common Share Price be less than the Warrant Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in Section 6(a). No further adjustment of the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made under this Section 6(c) upon the issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to this Section 6(c). No further adjustments of the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.

 

  

8

  

 

(d) Superseding Adjustment. If, at any time after any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(c) as the result of any issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, and (i) such Common Stock Equivalents, or the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents, shall expire, and all or a portion of such or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion of such Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be, shall not have been exercised, or (ii) the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalents shall be increased, then such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the Additional Shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation. Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in this Section 6(d), there shall be a recomputation made of the effect of such Common Stock Equivalents on the basis of: (i) treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock theretofore actually issued pursuant to the previous exercise of Common Stock Equivalents or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and (ii) treating any such Common Stock Equivalents which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for which Additional’ Shares of Common Stock are issuable under such Common Stock Equivalents; whereupon a new adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.

7. Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under Sections 4, 5 and 6. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in Sections 4, 5 and 6:

(a) Computation of Consideration.

(i) To the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration received by the Company therefor shall be (1) the amount of the cash received by the Company therefor, or, (2) if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Company for subscription, the subscription price, or, (3) if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without taking into account any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Company for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof).

 

  

9

  

 

(ii) In connection with any merger or consolidation, with the consent of the Financial Advisor, in which the Company is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefore shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board, of such portion of the assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as the Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be.

 

(iii) The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received by the Company for issuing such warrants or other rights plus the additional consideration payable to the Company upon exercise of such warrants or other rights. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the Company for issuing warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the consideration paid or payable to the Company in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents.

 

(iv) In the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company, with the consent of the Financial Advisor, in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for stock or other securities of any corporation, the Company shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation.

 

(v) In the event any consideration received by the Company for any securities consists of property other than cash, the fair market value thereof at the time of issuance or as otherwise applicable shall be as determined in good faith by the Board. In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 7(a) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board.

(b) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by Section 4, 5 or 6 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Warrant Stock for which the Warrants are exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 5) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1% ) of the shares of Warrant Stock for which the Warrants are exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 7 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.

 

  

10

  

(c) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under Sections 4, 5 and 6, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share.

 

(d) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

 

(e) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of the Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificate; however, all Warrant Certificates issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustments under Section 4, 5 or 6 shall reflect such adjustments.

8. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or number of shares of Warrant Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to Sections 4, 5 and 6 hereof (for purposes of this Section 8, each an “adjustment”), the Company shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of the Warrant Certificates promptly after each adjustment. Absent manifest error, such certificate shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and the Holders.

 

9. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereof; however in lieu of such fractional share, the Company shall round the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the nearest whole number of shares.

 

10. Tag Along. If one or more of the Key Principals elects to sell, transfer or assign any or all of its interest in the Company to a third party, in a single transaction or a series of transactions, then in such event the Financial Advisor may have its interest and the interest of the Key Parties sold in the same sale / transfer. The Key Parties must provide at least sixty (60) days notice of a proposed sale / transfer delineating in detail the precise terms of said sale / transfer and providing in any purchase or transfer agreement a right of the Financial Advisor to opt into the same, exercisable on or before the date of sale / transfer.

 

  

11

  

 

11. Dividends. No dividend or distribution or the like (collectively a “Distribution”) will be allowed without notification in writing to the Advisor, delineating in detail the express terms of said Proposed Distribution and at least ten (10) days time to allow the Financial Advisor the right to make an election to exercise the Warrants and thus participate in said Distribution. The Company further covenants and agrees that it will not during the period of such notice close its share transfer books or take any other corporate action which might deprive the Financial Advisor of the opportunity of exercising the Warrant and participating as a Shareholder in such dividend or distribution.
