SERIES B WARRANT

TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF

AVANTAIR, INC.

1. Warrant.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, duly paid by or on behalf of                     (“Holder”), as registered owner of this Warrant, to Avantair, Inc. (“Company”), Holder is entitled, subject to the provisions of Section 2 hereof, at any time or from time to time at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on November 28, 2017 (“Expiration Date”), but not thereafter, to subscribe for, purchase and receive, in whole or in part, up to                 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”). If the Expiration Date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close, then this Warrant may be exercised on the next succeeding day which is not such a day in accordance with the terms herein. This Warrant is initially exercisable at $0.50 per share of Common Stock purchased; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 6 and Section 10 hereof, the rights granted by this Warrant, including the exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon such exercise, shall be adjusted as therein specified. The term “Exercise Price” shall mean the initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending on the context, of a share of Common Stock. The term “Securities” shall mean the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this


Warrant. The Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are not subject to any obligation of the Company to be registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a registration statement.

2. Exercise.

2.1 Exercise. In order to exercise this Warrant, the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) must be duly executed, completed and delivered to the Company with this Warrant to its principal office and payment of the Exercise Price for the securities being purchased in cash by wire transfer as indicated by the Company or, if applicable, by cashless exercise as provided below. If the subscription rights represented hereby shall not be exercised at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall become and be void without further force or effect, and all rights represented hereby shall cease and expire. The later or the dates on which the Company receives the Exercise Notice and the payment of the Exercise Price, if applicable, is referred to herein as the “Exercise Date.” No later than the close of business on the Exercise Date, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or e-mail transmission an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice and the Exercise Price, if applicable, to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “Transfer Agent”). On or before the first trading day following the Exercise Date, the Company shall, (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (the “FAST Program”) and so long as the certificates therefor are not required to bear a legend regarding restriction on transferability, 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 the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y), if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the FAST Program or if the certificates are required to bear a legend regarding restriction on transferability, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, 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. On the Exercise Date, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Securities with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Securities are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Securities, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 2.1 and the number of Securities represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Securities being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three trading days after the Exercise Date and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant representing the right to purchase the number of Securities purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Securities with respect to which this Warrant has been and/or is exercised. The Company shall pay any and all taxes and other expenses of the Company (including overnight delivery charges) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Securities upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Securities or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or

 

2


transferring this Warrant or receiving Securities upon exercise hereof. As used herein “Business Day” means a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, on which banks in New York City are open for the general transaction of business and “trading day” means a day on which the primary exchange or market on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted, as applicable, is open for the general transaction of business.

2.2 Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a registration statement covering the Securities that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Securities”), or an exemption from registration, is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Securities, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, 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 arithmetic average of the closing bid prices of the shares of Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.

C= the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Securities at the time of such exercise.

2.3 Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder within three (3) trading days of the Exercise Date a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, and if on or after such trading day the Holder purchases, or a third party on behalf of the Holder or for the Holder’s account purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise), shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s written 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, 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 (and to issue such Securities) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Securities 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 closing bid price of the Common Stock on the date of exercise.

2.4 Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for the shares of Common Stock underlying this warrant upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue tax in respect thereof.

2.5 Legend. Each certificate for Securities purchased under this Warrant shall bear a legend as follows, unless such Securities have been registered under the Securities Act.

“THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THIS SECURITY UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (SELECTED BY THE HOLDER AND REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT THIS SECURITY MAY BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION OR (II) THE HOLDER PROVIDES THE COMPANY WITH CUSTOMARY ASSURANCE (REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY) THAT THIS SECURITY CAN BE SOLD, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO RULE 144.”

3. Transfer.

3.1 Restrictions Imposed by the Securities Act. This Warrant and the Securities underlying this Warrant shall not be transferred (i) in the absence of (a) an effective registration statement for this Warrant or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, or (b) an opinion of counsel (selected by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company), in a form reasonable acceptable to the Company, that this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration; provided that such opinion of counsel shall not be required in connection with any such sale, assignment or transfer to an institutional accredited investor that is prior to such sale, assignment or transfer is a holder of Warrants or an affiliate of the Holder, or (ii) the Holder provides the Company with customary assurance (reasonably satisfactory to the Company) that this Warrant or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144.

4. New Warrants to be Issued.

4.1 Partial Exercise or Transfer. Subject to the restrictions in Section 3 hereof, this Warrant may be exercised or assigned in whole or in part. In the event of the exercise or assignment hereof in part only, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, together with the duly executed exercise or assignment form and funds (or conversion equivalent) sufficient to pay any Exercise Price and/or transfer tax, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder without charge a

 

4


new Warrant of like tenor to this Warrant in the name of the Holder evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants purchasable hereunder as to which this Warrant has not been exercised or assigned.

4.2 Lost Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Warrant executed and delivered as a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company.

5. Reserved.

6. Adjustments

6.1 Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities. The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:

6.1.1 Stock Dividends - Recapitalization, Reclassification, Split-Ups. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.2 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split-up, recapitalization or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, at the close of business on the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares.

6.1.2 Aggregation of Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

6.1.3 Adjustments in Exercise Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as provided in this Section 6.1, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

6.1.4 Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock other than a change covered by Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 hereof or which solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock, or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing

 

5


corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the right of exercise of this Warrant) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or other transfer, by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by Sections 6.1.1 or 6.1.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and this Section 6.1.4. The provisions of this Section 6.1.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

6.1.5 Changes in Form of Warrant. This form of Warrant need not be changed because of any change pursuant to this Section, and Warrants issued after such change may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants as are stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant hereto. The acceptance by any Holder of the issuance of new Warrants reflecting a required or permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any rights to a prior adjustment or the computation thereof.

6.2 Fractional Interest. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any fractional share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 6.2, be deliverable upon such exercise, the Company, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall pay to the exercising Holder an amount in cash equal to the Market Price of such fractional share of Common Stock on the date of exercise. “Market Price” as of a particular date shall mean the following: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed on a national stock exchange, the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on such exchange on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date; (b) if the Common Stock is then quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or such similar quotation system or association, the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or such other quotation system or association on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date or, if no such closing sale price is available, the average of the high bid and the low asked price quoted thereon on the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date; or (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or such other quotation system or association, the fair market value of one share of Common Stock as of the Valuation Date, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Warrantholder.

7. Reservation and Listing. The Company hereby represents and warrants that there may not be reserved out of the authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, sufficient shares to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this Warrant. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, UNLESS AND UNTIL SUFFICIENT SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE AUTHORIZED FOR THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT, THIS WARRANT SHALL NOT BE EXERCISABLE. The Company shall use

 

6


best efforts to obtain stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock so that a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock shall be reserved so that all Securities issued upon due exercise of this Warrant shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Securities, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all shares of Common Stock and other securities issued upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any shareholder. As long as the Warrants shall be outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants to be listed (subject to official notice of issuance) or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or such other market on which the Common Stock is then listed and/or quoted.

8. Certain Notice Requirements.

8.1 Holder’s Right to Receive Notice. Nothing herein shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or consent or as having any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company.

8.2 Notice of Change in Exercise Price. The Company shall, promptly after an event requiring a change in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 6 or Section 10 hereof, send notice to the Holder of such event and change (“Price Notice”). The Price Notice shall describe the event causing the change and the method of calculating same and shall be certified as being true and accurate by the Company’s President and Chief Financial Officer.

8.3 Transmittal of Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications under this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made on the date of delivery if delivered personally or sent by overnight courier, with acknowledgment of receipt by the party to which notice is given, or on the fifth day after mailing if mailed to the party to whom notice is to be given, postage prepaid and properly addressed as follows: (i) if to the registered Holder of this Warrant, to the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company on the date of the communication, or (ii) if to the Company, to its principal executive office on the date of the communication.

9. Miscellaneous.

9.1 Headings. The headings contained herein are for the sole purpose of convenience of reference, and shall not in any way limit or affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the terms or provisions of this Warrant.

9.2 Entire Agreement. This Warrant, together with that certain Settlement Agreement dated as of February 6, 2013 by and among the Company, the initial Holder of this Warrant and certain other parties, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Settlement Agreement”) and the other transaction documents delivered pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the parties, oral and written, with respect to the subject matter hereof, and this Warrant shall be subject to Sections 5.1, 5.3, 5.8 and 5.11 of the Settlement Agreement.

This Warrant shall inure solely to the benefit of and shall be binding upon, the Holder and the Company and their respective successors, legal representatives and assigns, and no other person shall have or be construed to have any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of or by virtue of this Warrant or any provisions herein contained.

9.4 Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without reference to the choice of law provisions thereof. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Holder, each irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Warrant and the transactions contemplated hereby.

The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Holder, each irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE HOLDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS WARRANT AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER.

9.5 Waiver, Etc. The failure of the Company or the Holder to at any time enforce any of the provisions of this Warrant shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor to in any way affect the validity of this Warrant or any provision hereof or the right of the Company or any Holder to thereafter enforce each and every provision of this Warrant. No waiver of any breach, non-compliance or non-fulfillment of any of the provisions of this Warrant shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument executed by the party or parties against whom or which enforcement of such waiver is sought; and no waiver of any such breach, non-compliance or non-fulfillment shall be construed or deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach, non-compliance or non-fulfillment.

9.6 Amendments, Modifications and Waivers. Provisions of the Warrants may be amended, modified or waived only by the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority of the Warrants then outstanding; provided that the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may not be amended, waived or modified without the written consent of the Holder. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to any Holder for or as inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Warrants unless such consideration is offered to be paid or is paid to all Holders (on a pro rata basis in

 

8


accordance with each Holder’s percentage ownership of then outstanding Warrants). So long as any Warrants remain outstanding, at no time shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, purchase or offer to purchase any of the outstanding Warrants or exchange or offer to exchange for any consideration (including, without limitation, for cash, securities, property or otherwise) any outstanding Warrants unless the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, purchases, offers to purchase, exchanges or offers to exchange the outstanding Warrants of all of the Holders for the same consideration (on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Holder’s percentage ownership of then outstanding Warrants) and on identical terms.

If the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding any Options or Convertible Securities which are Excluded Shares) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating

 

10


thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issuance or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date; provided, however, that Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 10(a)(iv) hereof) of such Additional Shares of Common Stock would be less than 75% of the applicable Exercise Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issuance (the “Anti-dilution Threshold”), or such record date, as the case may be; provided, further, that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:

(1) no further adjustment in the applicable Exercise Price shall be made upon the subsequent issuance of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

(2) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company, or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the applicable Exercise Price computed upon the original issuance thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;

(3) upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the applicable Exercise Price computed upon the original issuance thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:

(I) In the case of Convertible Securities convertible into or exchange for, or Options to purchase, Common Stock, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issuance of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by

 

11


the Company upon such exercise, or for the issuance of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange; and

(II) In the case of Options for Convertible Securities only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof that were issued at the time of issuance of such Options, and the consideration received by the Company for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issuance of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Company (determined pursuant to Section 10(a)(iv) upon the issuance of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised);

(4) no readjustment pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above shall have the effect of increasing the applicable Exercise Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (I) the applicable Exercise Price on the original adjustment date or (II) the applicable Exercise Price that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date;

(5) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than thirty (30) days after the date of issuance thereof, no adjustment of the applicable Exercise Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in clause (3) above; and

(6) if such record date shall have been fixed and such Options or Convertible Securities are not issued on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment previously made in the applicable Exercise Price which became effective on such record date shall be canceled as of the close of business on such record date, and thereafter the applicable Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 10(a) as of the actual date of their issuance.

(iii) Adjustment of Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

(A) If the Company shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 10(a)(ii) but excluding Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 10(a)(iii)(B)(I)), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Anti-dilution Threshold in

 

12


effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issuance, then and in such event, such applicable Exercise Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such applicable Exercise Price by a fraction which is equal to (I) the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus (b) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received or deemed to have been received by the Company for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such applicable Anti-dilution Threshold divided by (II) the sum of (x) number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus (y) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or deemed to be issued.

(B) For the purposes of Section 10(a)(iii) hereof, (I) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Company’s preferred stock (“Convertible Preferred Stock”) and upon exercise of Options or conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities which are part of the Excluded Shares, outstanding immediately prior to any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock, or any event with respect to which Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be issued, shall be deemed to be outstanding; and (II) immediately after any Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed issued pursuant to Section 10(a)(ii), such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding.

(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the applicable Exercise Price in effect at the time Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued or deemed to be issued shall not be reduced pursuant to Section 10(a)(iii) hereof at such time if the amount of such reduction would be an amount less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward and reduction with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or more.

(iv) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 10(a), the consideration received by the Company for the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

(A) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:

(1) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amounts of cash received by the Company excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

(2) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and

(3) if Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (1) and (2) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(B) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 10(a)(ii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing (1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (2) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(v) No Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment shall be made to the applicable Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 10 if prior to such issuance, the Company receives written notice from the Holder agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

(vi) Changes to Exercise Price. Upon any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, any previous anti-dilution adjustments made pursuant to this Section 10 shall be reflected in the new Exercise Price in the manner set forth in Section 6.1.
