B.            Automatic Exercise. Exercise of the purchase rights and obligations represented by this Warrant will be made automatically in whole immediately upon the last to occur of the Approval, the Acquisition, and the Registration Statement being declared effective by the Commission, by delivery to or from Investor or Company (or such other office or agency of Company as it may designate by notice in writing to Investor) of a Conversion Notice, and Investor paying Company the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds before or within 3 Trading Days after the Notice Time.

D.           No Cashless Exercise. No cashless exercise of this Warrant will be permitted.

  

E.           Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the Company, prior to any distribution or payment made to the holders of Common Stock or Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, Investor will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution an amount with respect to any unexercised portion of this Warrant equal to the Purchase Price for such unexercised portion of this Warrant, plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid Premium thereon (collectively with the Purchase Price, the “Liquidation Value”). The Liquidation Value, and upon any redemption of this Warrant pursuant to Section I.F, the Maturity Redemption Price, Early Redemption Price, or Liquidation Value, as applicable, will be reduced by the amount of any unpaid Purchase Price, and any Premium or Conversion Premium with respect thereto, whether or not required to be paid. By way of example, if Investor has paid none of the Purchase Price, the Maturity Redemption Price, Early Redemption Price and Liquidation Value will be zero.

 

F.           Redemption.

 

1.          Company’s Redemption Option. On the Warrant Maturity Date, the Company may redeem the entire unexercised portion of this Warrant by paying Investor in cash an amount per share equal to 100% of the Purchase Price for such unexercised portion of this Warrant (the “Maturity Redemption Price”).

 

2.          Early Redemption. Prior to the Warrant Maturity Date, provided that no Trigger Event has occurred, the Company will have the right at any time upon 30 Trading Days’ prior written notice, in its sole and absolute discretion, to redeem all or any portion of this Warrant then outstanding by paying Investor in cash an amount (the “Early Redemption Price”) equal to the sum of the following: (a) 100% of the Purchase Price for such unexercised portion of this Warrant, plus (b) the Conversion Premium thereon, minus (c) any Premium thereon that has been paid.

 

3.          Credit Risk Adjustment.

 

      a.        Premium.

 

   i.            Commencing on the date of the issuance of this Warrant (“Issuance Date”), this Warrant will accrue a premium (“Premium”), at a rate equal to 6.0% per annum, subject to adjustment as provided in this Warrant (“Premium Rate”), of the Purchase Price. The Premium will be payable with respect to any part of this Warrant upon any of the following: (a) upon redemption of such part in accordance with Section I.F; and (b) upon conversion of such part in accordance with Section I.G.

 

2
 

 

 ii.           Premium, as well as any applicable Conversion Premium payable hereunder, will be paid: (a) in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, immediately in cash; or (b) if Company notifies Investor it will not pay all or any portion in cash, or to the extent cash is not paid and received as soon as practicable, and in any event within 1 Trading Day after the Notice Time, for any reason whatsoever, in shares of Common Stock valued at (i) if there has never been a Trigger Event, (A) 95.0% of the average of the 5 lowest individual daily volume weighted average prices of the Common Stock on the Trading Market during the applicable Measurement Period, which may be non-consecutive, less $0.05 per share of Common Stock, not to exceed (B) 100% of the lowest sales price on the last day of such Measurement Period less $0.05 per share of Common Stock (ii) following any Trigger Event, (A) 85.0% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during any Measurement Period for any conversion by Investor, less $0.10 per share of Common Stock, not to exceed (B) 85.0% of the lowest sales price on the last day of any Measurement Period, less $0.10 per share of Common Stock. In no event will the value of Common Stock pursuant to the foregoing be below the par value per share. All amounts that are required or permitted to be paid in cash pursuant to this Warrant will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Investor.

 

 iii.          The Premium Rate will adjust downward by an amount equal to the Spread Adjustment for each amount, if any, equal to the Adjustment Factor that the Measuring Metric rises above the Maximum Triggering Level, down to a minimum of 0.0%.

 

 iv.           The Premium Rate will adjust upward by an amount equal to the Spread Adjustment for each amount, if any, equal to the Adjustment Factor that the Measuring Metric falls below the Minimum Triggering Level, up to a maximum of 24.95%. In addition, the Premium Rate will adjust upward by 10.0% following the occurrence of any Trigger Event.

 

 v.            The adjusted Premium Rate used for calculation of the Liquidation Value, Conversion Premium, Early Redemption Price and Premium, as applicable, and the amount of Premium owed will be calculated and determined based upon the Measuring Metric at close of the Trading Market immediately prior to the Notice Time.

 

4.          Mandatory Redemption. If the Company determines to liquidate, dissolve or wind-up its business and affairs, the Company will prior to or concurrently with the closing, effectuation or occurrence any such action, redeem the entire unexercised portion of this Warrant for cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Investor, at the Early Redemption Price set forth in Section I.F.2 if the event is prior to the Warrant Maturity Date, or at the Liquidation Value if the event is on or after the Warrant Maturity Date.

5.            Mechanics of Redemption. In order to redeem all or any portion of the Warrant then outstanding, the Company must deliver written notice (each, a “Redemption Notice”) to Investor setting forth (a) the portion of this Warrant that the Company is redeeming, (b) the applicable Premium Rate, Liquidation Value and Early Redemption Price, and (c) the calculation of the amount paid. In connection with a mandatory redemption, the notice will be delivered as soon as the number of shares can be determined, and in all other instances at least 30 Trading Days prior to payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of a Redemption Notice will not affect Investor’s rights under Section I.G until after receipt of cash payment by Investor at the required time.

 

G.           Exercise.

 

1.            Mechanics of Exercise.

 

a.          Promptly upon the occurrence of the automatic exercise provided for in Section I.B., Investor will deliver a written notice to the Company and its transfer agent (“Conversion Notice” and with the Redemption Notice, each an “Initial Notice”) of the automatic conversion of this Warrant.

 

b.          Each Delivery Notice will set forth the amount of Warrant being converted, the minimum number of Conversion Shares and the amount of Premium and any applicable Conversion Premium due as of the time the Delivery Notice is given (the “Notice Time”), and the calculation thereof.

 

b.          If the Company notifies Investor by 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on the Trading Day after the Notice Time that it is paying all or any portion of Premium or Conversion Premium, and actually pays in cash by the next Trading Day, time being of the essence, the full amount of Premium and Conversion Premium stated in the Delivery Notice, no further amount will be due with respect thereto.

 

c.          As soon as practicable, and in any event within 1 Trading Day of the Notice Time, time being of the essence, the Company will do all of the following: (i) transmit the Delivery Notice by facsimile or electronic mail to the Investor, and to the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) with instructions to comply with the Delivery Notice; (ii) either (A) if the Company is approved through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), authorize and instruct the credit by the Transfer Agent the aggregate number of Conversion Shares set forth in the Delivery Notice, to Investor’s or its designee’s balance account with the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program, through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, or (B) only if the Company is not approved through DTC, issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified in the Delivery Notice a certificate registered in the name of Investor or its designee, for the number of Conversion Shares set forth in the Delivery Notice, bearing no restrictive legend unless a registration statement covering the Conversion Shares is not effective and neither Company nor Investor provides an opinion of counsel to the effect that Conversion Shares may be issued without restrictive legend; and (iii) if it contends that the Delivery Notice is in any way incorrect, a through explanation of why and its own calculation, or the Delivery Notice will conclusively be deemed correct for all purposes. The Company will at all times diligently take or cause to be taken all actions reasonably necessary to cause the Conversion Shares to be issued as soon as practicable.

 

4
 

 

d.         If during the Measurement Period the Investor is entitled to receive additional Conversion Shares with regard to an Initial Notice, Investor may at any time deliver one or more additional written notices to the Company or its transfer agent (each, an “Additional Notice” and with the Initial Notice, each a “Delivery Notice”) setting forth the additional number of Conversion Shares to be delivered, and the calculation thereof.

 

e.         If the Company for any reason does not issue or cause to be issued to the Investor within 3 Trading Days after the date of a Delivery Notice, the number of Conversion Shares stated in the Delivery Notice, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the Company will pay in cash to the Investor on each day after such 3rd Trading Day that the issuance of such Conversion Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 2% of the product of (i) the aggregate number of Conversion Shares not issued to the Investor on a timely basis and to which the Investor is entitled and (ii) the highest Closing Price of the Common Stock between the date on which the Company should have issued such shares to the Investor and the actual date of receipt of Conversion Shares by Investor. It is intended that the foregoing will serve to reasonably compensate Investor for any delay in delivery of Conversion Shares, and not as punishment for any breach by the Company. The Company acknowledges that the actual damages likely to result from delay in delivery are difficult to estimate and would be difficult for Investor to prove.

 

f.          Notwithstanding any other provision: all of the requirements of Section I.F and this Section I.G are each independent covenants; the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Conversion Shares upon any Delivery Notice are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable; any breach or alleged breach of any representation or agreement, or any violation or alleged violation of any law or regulation, by any party or any other person will not excuse full and timely performance of any of the Company’s obligations under these sections; and under no circumstances may the Company seek or obtain any temporary, interim or preliminary injunctive or equitable relief to prevent or interfere with any issuance of Conversion Shares to Investor.

 

g.         If for any reason whatsoever Investor does not timely receive the number of Conversion Shares stated in any Delivery Notice, Investor will be entitled to a compulsory remedy of immediate specific performance, temporary, interim and, preliminary and final injunctive relief requiring Company and its transfer agent, attorneys, officers and directors to immediately issue and deliver the number of Conversion Shares stated by Investor, which requirement will not be stayed for any reason, without the necessity of posting any bond, and which Company may not seek to stay or appeal.

 

h.         No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of this Warrant, but rather the Company will issue to Investor scrip or warrants registered on the books of the Company (certificated or uncertificated) which will entitle Investor to receive a full share upon the surrender of such scrip or warrants aggregating a full share. The Investor will not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect a conversion hereunder. The Company will pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of any Conversion Shares.

 

2.           Exercise. Upon receipt of the Conversion Notice, the Company will (a) satisfy the payment of Premium and Conversion Premium as provided in Section I.F.3.a.ii, and (b) issue to Investor a number of Conversion Shares equal to (i) the Purchase Price of the portion converted divided by (ii) the applicable Conversion Price with respect to such portion of the Warrant; all in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section I.G.1.

 

5
 

 

3.           Stock Splits. If the Company at any time on or after the filing of this Warrant 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 applicable Conversion Price, Adjustment Factor, Maximum Triggering Level, Minimum Triggering Level, and other share based metrics in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after such Issuance Date 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 applicable Conversion Price, Adjustment Factor, Maximum Triggering Level, Minimum Triggering Level, and other share based metrics in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Conversion Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section will become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
