WARRANT

 

Warrant No. L-1

 

Dated: July 23, 2007        

 

Beacon Power Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, GFI Tyngsboro, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or its registered assigns in accordance with Section 13 (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of five-hundred thousand (500,000) shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $1.77 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 8, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and from time to time on and after the date hereof and through and including the seventh (7th) anniversary of the date hereof (the “Expiration Date”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.  This Warrant and 150,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Lease Shares”) are being issued on the date hereof in connection with the entering into of that certain Lease dated the date hereof (the “Lease”) between the Company and the Holder with respect to the premises located at 65 Middlesex Road, Tyngsborough, Massachusetts.

 

1.             Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

2.             Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in accordance with Section 13 in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company’s transfer agent or to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant

 



 

(any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

 

3.             Exercise and Duration of Warrants.

 

(a)           This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date provided that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 14 are true, and that the covenants set forth in Section 14 have been satisfied, at the time of such exercise. At 6:30 P.M., Eastern time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.

 

(b)           A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised, and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Upon the execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Company shall issue a New Warrant to the Holder evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

 

(c)           The Company shall have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of Common Stock available to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant.

 

4.             Delivery of Warrant Shares.

 

(a)           Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise. Such certificate shall bear a restrictive legend substantially the same as the legend first set forth above.  The Holder shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date.

 

(b)           This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time from the Date hereof, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

 

5.             Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding this Warrant or

 



 

receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof or transferring either this Warrant or the Warrant Shares.

 

6.             Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable bond or indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.

 

7.             Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company shall 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 herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 8).  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein 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.

 

8.             Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this section.

 

(a)           Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. See also Section 8(c).  Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

 

(b)           Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person and the Company is not the surviving party, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another person) is completed pursuant to which

 



 

holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 8(a) above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. If, in the case of any Fundamental Transaction, the Alternate Consideration includes shares of stock, other securities, other property or assets of a person other than the Company or any such successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, in such Fundamental Transaction, then such written agreement shall also be executed by such other person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is completed shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 8(b) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

 

(c)           Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustments to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

(d)           Calculations. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

 

(e)           Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 8, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including

 



 

a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.

 

(f)            Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.

 

9.             Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds

 

10.           Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

 

11.           Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. “Trading Day” means (a) any day on which the Common Stock is listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, then a day on which trading occurs on either the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange (together with the Nasdaq Stock Market, each an “Eligible Market”) (or any successor thereto), or (c) if trading ceases to occur on an Eligible Market (or any successor thereto), any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized or required by law to remain closed.

15.           Holder’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants

 

(a)           At the time the Holder was offered the Warrant Shares and Lease Shares, it was, and on the date hereof, it is, and on the date of any exercise hereof, the Holder will be, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

 

(b)           Holder has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in this Warrant, the Lease Shares and the Warrant Shares and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment and shall evaluate such merits and risks before any exercise hereof.  Holder is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Warrant, the Lease Shares and the Warrant Shares indefinitely and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

(c)           The Holder is purchasing this Warrant and the Lease Shares, and upon any exercise hereof will purchase the Warrant Shares, for the Holder’s account and not for the account of any other person, and without a view to the distribution thereof.  The Holder acknowledges that this Warrant and the Lease Shares are, and the Warrant Shares will be, “restricted securities” (as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) and may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in accordance with all applicable state laws.

 

16.           Registration Rights for the Lease Shares.  The Company shall, at its sole expense, prepare and file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 30 days after the date of this Warrant (subject to reasonable extension at the Company’s discretion, but in any event for no more than 30 additional days) to register the Lease Shares within a commercially reasonable time.  The Company shall endeavor in good faith and diligently to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and shall endeavor to keep it continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the date hereof or (ii) the date all of the Lease Shares have been sold publicly.

 

17.           Miscellaneous

 

(a)           The Company will not, by amendment of its governing documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (ii) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

 

(b)           GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF

NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
