Warrant No.: ________ | Number of Shares: ____ | |
Date of Issuance: ____________ |
CardioVascular BioTherapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), hereby certifies that, for Ten United States Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, ____________________, the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns, is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company upon surrender of this Warrant (if required by Section 2(f)), at any time or times on or after the date hereof, but not after 11:59 P.M. New York Time on the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 1(b) below) ________________ ( ) [INSERT: the number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) the Principal of the Notes the redemption of which results in the issuance of this Warrant plus any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon divided by (ii) the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Trading Price of the Common Stock on each of the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending immediately prior to the Company Alternative Redemption Date (as defined in the Notes to which this Warrant relates)] fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined in Section 1(b) below) of the Company (the Warrant Shares) at the Warrant Exercise Price (as defined in Section 1(b) below); provided, however, that in no event shall the holder be entitled or required
to exercise this Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of that number of Warrant Shares that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing proviso, the aggregate 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 the determination of such proviso is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Repurchase Warrants (as defined in Section 1(a) below) beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates and (ii) exercise, conversion or exchange of the unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates (including the Notes, Initial Warrants (as defined in the Notes), and any other convertible notes or preferred stock) subject to a limitation on conversion, exercise or exchange analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Companys most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other written (including e-mail) notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of any holder, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following the receipt of such request, confirm in writing to any such 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, exercise or exchange of securities of the Company, including the Initial Warrants, the Notes and the Repurchase Warrants, if any, by such holder and its affiliates, since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. For purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue to the holder of this Warrant upon exercise of this Warrant, such holders delivery of an Exercise Notice (as defined in Section 2(a) below) with respect to such exercise shall constitute a representation (on which the Company may rely without investigation) by the holder of this Warrant that upon the issuance of the shares of Common Stock to be issued to such holder pursuant to such exercise, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates shall not exceed 4.99% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately after giving effect to such exercise as determined in accordance with this paragraph.

If the Company and the holder of this Warrant are unable to agree upon the fair market value of the Common Stock, then such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 2(a). All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during any period during which the Weighted Average Price is being determined.

In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in compliance with this Section 2(a), on the second (2nd) Business Day (the Warrant Share Delivery Date) following the date of its receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of Cashless
-4-
Exercise) and if required by Section 2(f) (or unless the holder of this Warrant has previously delivered this Warrant to the Company and it or a new replacement Warrant has not yet been delivered to the holder), this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking, in customary form, with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction pursuant to Section 10) (the Exercise Delivery Documents), (A) provided that the transfer agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (DTC) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and provided that the holder is eligible to receive shares through DTC, the Company shall credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled to the holders or its designees balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (B) the Company shall issue and deliver to the address specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled. Upon the later of the date of delivery of (x) the Exercise Notice and (y) the Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in clause (ii)(A) above or notification to the Company of a Cashless Exercise referred to in Section 2(e), the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised (the date thereof being referred to as the Deemed Issuance Date), irrespective of the date of delivery of this Warrant as required by clause (iii) above or the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Weighted Average Price of a security or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the holder via facsimile within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the holders Exercise Notice. If the holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Weighted Average Price or arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall immediately submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or the Weighted Average Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm agreed to by the Company and the holder of this Warrant or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to its independent, outside public accountant. The Company shall cause the investment banking firm or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than three (3) Business Days after the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment banking firms or accountants determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive absent error.
(b) If this Warrant is submitted for exercise, as may be required by Section 2(f), and unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Warrant (the Warrant Delivery Date) and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant is exercised (together with, in the case of a Cashless Exercise, the number of Warrant Shares surrendered in lieu of payment of the Exercise Price).
-5-
(c) No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number (with 0.5 rounded up).
(d) If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason (x) to issue and deliver to the holder within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder is entitled or to credit the holders balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder is entitled upon the holders exercise of this Warrant or (y) to issue and deliver to the holder on the Warrant Delivery Date a new Warrant for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, if any, then the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies under this Warrant or the Securities Purchase Agreement or otherwise available to such holder, including any indemnification under Section 8 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, pay as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day after such third (3rd) Business Day that such shares of Common Stock are not issued and delivered to the holder, in the case of clause (x) above, or such third (3rd) Business Day that such Warrant is not delivered, in the case of clause (y) above, an amount equal to the sum of (i) 0.5% of the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the holder on or prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Date and (B) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Warrant Share Delivery Date, in the case of the failure to deliver Common Stock, and (ii) if the Company has failed to deliver a Warrant to the holder on or prior to the Warrant Delivery Date, 0.5% of the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant as of the Warrant Delivery Date, and (y) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Warrant Delivery Date; provided that in no event shall cash damages accrue pursuant to this Section 2(d) during the period, if any, in which any Warrant Shares are the subject of a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(a). Alternatively, subject to the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(a), at the election of the holder made in the holders sole discretion, the Company shall pay to the holder, in lieu of the additional damages referred to in the preceding sentence (but in addition to all other available remedies that the holder may pursue hereunder and under the Securities Purchase Agreement (including indemnification pursuant to Section 8 thereof)), 110% of the amount that (A) the holders total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for shares of Common Stock purchased to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale by such holder of the shares of Common Stock to which the holder is entitled but has not received upon an exercise, exceeds (B) the net proceeds received by the holder from the sale of the shares of Common Stock to which the holder is entitled but has not received upon such exercise.
(e) If, despite the Companys obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Warrant Shares to be issued are not registered and available for resale pursuant to a registration statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, including during a Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), then notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the holder of this Warrant may, at its election exercised 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
-6-
receive upon such exercise the Net Number of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a Cashless Exercise):
Net Number | = | (A x B) - (A x C) | ||||||||
B |
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;
B= the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the delivery of the Exercise Notice; and
C= the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
(f) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the holder of this Warrant shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless it is being exercised for all of the Warrant Shares represented by the Warrant. The holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares exercised and issued and the dates of such exercises or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Warrant upon each such exercise. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing the number of Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of demonstrable error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Warrant is exercised as aforesaid, the holder may not transfer this Warrant unless the holder first physically surrenders this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the holder a new Warrant of like tenor, registered as the holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant. The holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following exercise of any portion of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant may be less than the number stated on the face hereof. Each Warrant shall bear the following legend:
ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS WARRANT SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THIS WARRANT, INCLUDING SECTION 2(f) HEREOF. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER SET FORTH ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 2(f) HEREOF.
-7-
Section 3. Covenants as to Common Stock. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and validly issued.
(b) All Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of payment therefor from the holder (including pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, as applicable), be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(c) During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved at least 110% of the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant.
(d) If, and so long as, any shares of Common Stock shall be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market or another securities exchange or market, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be so listed; and the Company shall so list on such exchange or market, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market.
(e) The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation 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 to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above $0.001 per share, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(f) This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Companys assets.
Section 4. Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.
Section 5. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. No holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the Company for any purpose (other than to the extent that the holder is deemed to be a beneficial holder of shares under applicable securities laws after taking into account the limitation set forth in the first paragraph of this Warrant), nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the Deemed Issuance Date of the Warrant Shares that such holder is then entitled to receive upon the due
-8-
exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities (except to the extent set forth in an Exercise Notice) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company will provide the holder of this Warrant with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.
Section 6. Representations of Holder. The holder of this Warrant, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant, and upon exercise hereof (other than pursuant to a Cashless Exercise) will acquire the Warrant Shares, for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such holder is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act. Each delivery of an Exercise Notice, other than in connection with a Cashless Exercise, shall constitute confirmation at such time by the holder of the representations concerning the Warrant Shares set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 6, unless contemporaneous with the delivery of such Exercise Notice the holder notifies the Company in writing that it is not making such representations (a Representation Notice). If the holder delivers a Representation Notice in connection with an exercise, it shall be a condition to such holders exercise of this Warrant and the Companys obligations set forth in Section 2 in connection with such exercise, that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.
Section 7. Ownership and Transfer.
(a) The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
(b) This Warrant and the rights granted hereunder shall be assignable by the holder hereof in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement. Holder shall require each such assignee to acknowledge that such assignee shall be bound by the provisions of Section 4(r) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
-9-
(c) The Company is obligated to register the Warrant Shares for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and the initial holder of this Warrant (and certain assignees thereof) is entitled to the registration rights in respect of the Warrant Shares as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
Section 8. Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Warrant Date (as defined in Section 13), the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding Exempted Issuances (as defined below)), for a consideration per share less than a price (the Applicable Price) equal to the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then immediately after such issue or sale the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to such consideration per share. Upon each such adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. For purposes of this Warrant, Exempted Issuances shall mean: (I) shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Company pursuant to an Approved Stock Plan; (II) shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Company upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any right, option, obligation or security outstanding on the date prior to the Warrant Date and set forth in Schedule 3(c) to the Securities Purchase Agreement, provided that the terms of such right, option, obligation or security are not amended or otherwise modified on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, and provided that the conversion price, exchange price, exercise price or other purchase price is not reduced, adjusted or otherwise modified and the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable is not increased (whether by operation of, or in accordance with, the relevant governing documents or otherwise) on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, or (III) shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Company upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Initial Warrants or the Repurchase Warrants.
(b) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 8(a) above (which, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company expressly agrees shall mean, at any date after the Warrant Date, for all purposes of this Section 8, including for purposes of determining whether the Company has issued or sold, or shall be deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than a price equal to the Applicable Price), the following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options (other than pursuant to an Approved Stock Plan) and the lowest price per share for
-10-
which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 8(b)(i), the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of any such Option shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii), the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(b), no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase, exchange or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Options or Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Exercise Price that would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase, exchange or exercise price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold and the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder shall be correspondingly readjusted. For purposes of this Section 8(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date
-11-
of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect.
(c) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Sections 8(a) and 8(b) above (which, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company expressly agrees shall mean, at least as of any date after the Warrant Date, for all purposes of this Section 8, including for purposes of determining whether the Company has issued or sold, or shall be deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than a price equal to the Applicable Price), the following shall be applicable:
(i) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Options are issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction or series of related transactions, (A) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration equal to the greatest of (I) $0.01, (II) the specific aggregate consideration, if any, allocated to such Options, and (III) the Black-Scholes Value (as defined below) of such Options (the greatest of (I), (II) and (III), the Option Consideration) and, for purposes of applying the provisions of this Section 8, the Option Consideration shall be allocated pro rata among all the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Options to determine the consideration per each such share of Common Stock and (B) the other securities will be deemed to have been issued for an aggregate consideration equal to the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the Options and other securities (determined as provided below with respect to each share of Common Stock represented thereby), less the Option Consideration. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Weighted Average Price of such securities on the date of receipt of such securities. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the holder of this Warrant. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the Valuation Event), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the holder of this Warrant. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent error, and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(ii) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (2) to subscribe for or
-12-
purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(iii) Black-Scholes Value. The Black-Scholes Value of any Options shall mean the sum of the amounts resulting from applying the Black-Scholes pricing model to each such Option, which calculation is made with the following inputs: (i) the option striking price being equal to the lowest exercise price possible under the terms of such Option on the date of the issuance of such Option (the Valuation Date), (ii) the interest rate being equal to the Federal Reserve US H.15 T Note Treasury Constant Maturity 1 Year rate on the Valuation Date (as reported by Bloomberg through its ALLX H15T function (accessed by typing ALLX H15T [GO] on a Bloomberg terminal, and inserting the date of the Valuation Date and then looking at the row entitled Treas Const Mat 1 Year under the column entitled Previous Value)), or if such rate is not available then such other similar rate as mutually agreed to by the Company and the holders of Notes and the Initial Warrants and Repurchase Warrants, if any, representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon conversion of the Notes (at the then prevailing Fixed Conversion Price) then outstanding and exercise of the Initial Warrants and the Repurchase Warrants, if any (at the then prevailing exercise prices thereof), then outstanding, without regard to any limitations on conversion or exercise thereof, (iii) the time until option expiration being the time from the Valuation Date until the expiration date of such Option, (iv) the current stock price being equal to the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Valuation Date, (v) the volatility being the 100-day historical volatility of the Common Stock as of the Valuation Date (as reported by the Bloomberg HVT screen), and (vi) the dividend rate being equal to zero. Within three (3) Business Days after the Valuation Date, each of the Company and the Holder shall deliver to the other a written calculation of its determination of the Black-Scholes Value of the Options. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the calculation of the Black-Scholes Value of the Options within five (5) Business Days of the Valuation Date, then the Company shall submit via facsimile the disputed calculation to an investment banking firm (jointly selected by the Company and the holder of this Warrant) within seven (7) Business Days of the Valuation Date. The Company shall cause such investment banking firm to perform the calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Valuation Date. Such investment banking firms calculation of the Black-Scholes Value of the Options shall be deemed conclusive absent error. The Company shall bear the fees and expenses of such investment banking firm for providing such calculation.
(d) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise
-13-
of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 8(d) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(e) Distribution of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a Distribution), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:
(i) the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Companys Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (B) the denominator shall be the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date; and
(ii) either (A) the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i), or (B) in the event that the Distribution is of common stock of a company whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional warrant, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable for the amount of the assets that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).
(f) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Companys Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Repurchase Warrants; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Warrant Exercise Price or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 8.
-14-
(g) Notices.
(i) As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days, upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment; provided, however, that neither the timing of giving any such notice nor any failure by the Company to give such a notice shall effect any such adjustment or the effective date thereof.
(ii) The Company will give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or liquidation, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.
(iii) The Company will also give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.
Section 9. Purchase Rights; Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. (a) In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of its capital stock (the Purchase Rights), then the holder of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights that such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
(b) Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Companys assets to another Person or other transaction that is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as Organic Change. Prior to the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Companys assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other Organic Change following which the Company is not a surviving entity, the Company will secure from the Person purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in each case, the Acquiring Entity) a written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of Repurchase Warrants representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Repurchase Warrants then outstanding, without regard to any limitation on exercise thereof) to deliver to each holder of Repurchase Warrants in exchange for each such Repurchase Warrant, a security of the Acquiring
-15-
Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the holders of such Repurchase Warrant (including, an adjusted warrant exercise price equal to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of such Repurchase Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercises), if the value so reflected is less than the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). Prior to the consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of such Repurchase Warrants representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Repurchase Warrants then outstanding, without regard to any limitation on exercise thereof) to ensure that each of the holders of the Repurchase Warrants will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such holders Repurchase Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercises), such shares of stock, securities or assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such holders Warrant as of the date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exerciseability of this Warrant).
Section 10. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall promptly, on receipt of an indemnification undertaking in customary form (or in the case of a mutilated Warrant, the Warrant), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

Section 12. Limitation on Number of Warrant Shares. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Repurchase Warrants if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise of the Repurchase Warrants, the Notes and the Initial Warrants (the Exchange Cap) without breaching any obligations that the Company has under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market, if at the time of any determination, the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market (or successor thereto) or the NASDAQ Capital Market, except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (a) obtains Stockholder Approval or (b) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the holders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of outstanding Repurchase Warrants, at any time, without regard to any limitation on exercise. Until such Stockholder Approval or written opinion is obtained, no holder of Repurchase Warrants shall be issued, upon exercise of the Repurchase Warrants, Warrant Shares in an amount greater than the difference of (i) such holders Cap Allocation Amount (as defined in the Notes), minus (ii) the aggregate number of (x) Conversion Shares issued to such holder prior to such time upon conversion of any Notes and (y) Warrant Shares

In the event that any holder of Repurchase Warrants shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Repurchase Warrants, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holders Cap Allocation Amount. In the event that, after the Closing Date, any holder of the Repurchase Warrants shall convert all of such holders Notes and exercise all of such holders Initial Warrants and Repurchase Warrants into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holders Cap Allocation Amount, then the difference between such holders Cap Allocation Amount and the number of Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Cap Allocation Amounts of the remaining holders of Initial Warrants, Repurchase Warrants and Notes on a pro rata basis in proportion to the Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares issuable upon exercise of the SPA Warrants and the Repurchase Warrants and conversion of the Notes (at the then prevailing conversion price), then held by each such holder, without regard to any limitations on conversion or exercise. In the event that upon the delivery of an Exercise Notice the Company is prohibited from issuing Warrant Shares as a result of the operation of this Section 12, the Company shall repurchase for cash, within five (5) Business Days, the portion of this Warrant with respect to which Warrant Shares cannot be issued as result of this Section 12, at a price per Warrant Share equal to the difference between the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock and the Warrant Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares as of the date of the attempted exercise.
Section 13. Date. The date of this Warrant is ________, 200_ (the Warrant Date). This Warrant, in all events, shall be wholly void and of no effect after 11:59 P.M., New York Time, on the Expiration Date, except that notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the provisions of Section 7 shall continue in full force and effect after such date as to any Warrant Shares or other securities issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.
