THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, Tengram Capital Partners Fund II, L.P. or its permitted assigns (collectively, the “Registered Holder”) is entitled to purchase from Differential Brands Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at the place where the Warrant Office designated pursuant to Section 2.1 is located, at a purchase price per share of $3.00 (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the “Exercise Price”), Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, $0.10 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), and is entitled also to exercise the other appurtenant rights, powers and privileges hereinafter set forth.  The number of shares of the Common Stock purchasable hereunder and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment in accordance with Article III hereof.  This Warrant shall expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on July 18, 2021 (the “Expiration Date”).  Receipt of this Warrant by the Registered Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

This Warrant is issued in connection with that certain Convertible Promissory Note, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company and Tengram Capital Partners Fund II, L.P. (the “Promissory Note”).

 



 

ARTICLE I

 

Exercise of Warrant

 

1.1                               Method of Exercise.  The Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder as a whole or in part at any time and from time to time subsequent to the date hereof and until the Expiration Date at which time this Warrant shall expire and be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that the minimum number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased on a single exercise shall be 1,000 or the entire number of shares remaining available for exercise hereunder, whichever is less.  To exercise this Warrant, the Registered Holder shall deliver to the Company, at the Warrant Office designated in Section 2.1(a), a written notice in the form of the Purchase Form attached as Exhibit A hereto, stating therein the election of the Registered Holder to exercise this Warrant in the manner provided in the Purchase Form, along with payment in full of the Exercise Price (in the manner described below) for all Warrant Shares purchased hereunder.  Subject to compliance with Section 3.1(a)(vi), this Warrant shall be deemed to be exercised on the date of receipt by the Company of the Purchase Form, accompanied by payment for the Warrant Shares to be purchased and surrender of this Warrant, as aforesaid, and such date is referred to herein as the “Exercise Date.”  Upon such exercise (subject as aforesaid), the Company shall promptly (and in any event within three business days following the Exercise Date) issue and deliver to the Registered Holder a certificate or statement evidencing ownership either by delivery of a certificate or in book-entry form for the full number of the Warrant Shares purchasable by the Registered Holder hereunder, against the receipt by the Company of the total Exercise Price payable hereunder for all such Warrant Shares, (a) in cash or by certified or cashier’s check or (b) pursuant to the Net Exercise provisions of Section 1.2.  The Person in whose name the certificate(s) or book-entry statements for Common Stock is to be issued shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on the Exercise Date.  If the Company fails to deliver such certificate or statement during the time period specified above, then the Registered Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise; provided, that nothing herein shall limit a Registered Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to deliver such certificate or statement in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.

 

1.2                               Net Exercise.  In lieu of exercising the Warrant Shares by delivering payment of the Exercise Price to the Company in cash, if the fair market value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), the Registered Holder of this Warrant may elect to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the Warrant Office together with a properly completed and executed Purchase Form, in which event the Company shall issue the Registered Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed as follows

 

X

=

Y (A – B)

 

A

 

 

Where:

 

2



 

X

=

the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Registered Holder.

 

 

 

Y

=

the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation).

 

 

 

A

=

the Current Market Price of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such calculation). For purposes of this Section 1, “Current Market Price” means, the volume-weighted average, rounded to the nearest cent, of the closing sales price of shares of Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market, as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the immediately preceding ten (10) trading days.

 

 

 

B

=

Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

1.3                               Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant.  In lieu of any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price of one share of Common Stock at the date of exercise.

 

1.4                               Termination.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, the right to exercise this Warrant shall terminate upon the Expiration Date; provided, however, if this Warrant shall not have been exercised in full prior to a Change of Control of any kind, the right to exercise this Warrant shall be automatically converted into the right to receive from the Company (or any successor entity thereto) an amount calculated as follows: (x) the maximum number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant shall be exercised at the time of the closing of such Change of Control, calculated pursuant to the Net Exercise provisions of Section 1.2, multiplied by (y) the amount of consideration per share of Common Stock received by a holder thereof in such Change of Control.

 

For purposes of this Warrant:

 

Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, (i) any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person, (ii) any Person directly or indirectly owning or controlling 10% or more of any class of outstanding equity securities of such Person or (iii) any officer, director, general partner, managing member or trustee of any such Person described in clause (i) or (ii).  “control,” including the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with,” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, as trustee or executor, as general partner or managing member, by contract or otherwise, including the ownership, directly or indirectly, of securities having the

 

3



 

power to elect a majority of the board of directors or similar body governing the affairs of such Person.

 

Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following at any time after the date hereof:  (i) any Person (within the meaning of Rule 13d-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of Person (other than any Person that is an Affiliate of such Person) that is not, as of the date hereof, the beneficial owner of more than 50% of outstanding voting securities of the Company, shall have become the beneficial owner of more than 50% of then outstanding voting securities of the Company, or (ii) the board of directors (or similar governing body), or if applicable the stockholders, of the Company, as the case may be, shall have approved the transfer, sale, assignment, or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Company in one transaction or a series of related transactions.

 

Person” means, an individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, joint venture, syndicate, person, trust, association, organization or other entity, including any governmental authority, and including any successor, by merger or otherwise, of any of the foregoing.

 

1.5                               Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of the Registered Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the certificate or statement evidencing ownership in book-entry form for the Warrant Shares purchased by the Registered Holder hereunder, deliver to the Registered Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Registered Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.

 

ARTICLE II

 

Warrant Office; Transfer

 

2.1                               Warrant Office.  The Company shall maintain an office for certain purposes specified herein (the “Warrant Office”), which office shall initially be the Company’s principal office, and may subsequently be such other office of the Company or of any transfer agent of the Common Stock in the continental United States of which written notice has previously been given to the Registered Holder.  The Company shall maintain, at the Warrant Office, a register for the Warrant in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Registered Holder, as well as the name and address of each permitted assignee of the rights of the Registered Holder.

 

2.2                               Ownership of Warrant.  The Company may deem and treat the Registered Holder as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, until presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided in this Article II.

 

2.3                               Transfer of Warrants.  The Company agrees to maintain at the Warrant Office books for the registration and transfer of this Warrant.  This Warrant may be transferred by any Registered Holder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any subsequent transferee) in whole or

 

4



 

in part only in compliance with applicable law and only to his, her or its Permitted Transferees.  The Company, from time to time, shall register the transfer in whole or in part of this Warrant in such books upon surrender of this Warrant at the Warrant Office, properly endorsed, together with a written assignment of this Warrant, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached as Exhibit B hereto.  Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee, and the Company shall cancel the surrendered Warrant.  For purposes of this Warrant, “Permitted Transferees” shall mean (a) in the case of an individual, the individual’s spouse, child, estate, personal representative, heir or successor, a trust for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons, or a partnership or limited liability company the partners or members of which consist solely of any of the foregoing persons and (b) in the case of any Registered Holder that is not an individual (other than a trust as described in clause (a) of this sentence, for whom transfers may be made to the persons described in such clause (a)), to a Person that is an affiliate, direct partner, member or stockholder of such Registered Holder.

 

2.4                               No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise.  No holder of this Warrant, as such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed to be a stockholder of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Registered Holder of this Warrant, as such, any rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action, receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise.  Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to the Registered Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the later of the date of such surrender or payment.

 

2.5                               Expenses of Delivery of Warrants.  The Company shall pay all reasonable expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of Warrants and related Warrant Shares hereunder.

 

2.6                               Compliance with Securities Laws.  The Registered Holder (and its transferees and assigns), by acceptance of this Warrant, covenants and agrees that such Registered Holder is acquiring the Warrants evidenced hereby, and, upon exercise hereof, the Warrant Shares, for its own account as an investment and not with a view to distribution thereof in violation of applicable law.  Neither this Warrant nor the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder have been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and no transfer of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares shall be permitted unless the Company has received notice of such transfer in the form of the assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, accompanied, if requested by the Company, by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that an exemption from registration of such Warrant or Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is available for such transfer, except that no such opinion shall be required after a registration for resale of the Warrant Shares has become effective.  Upon any exercise of the Warrants prior to effective registration for resale or except as in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear a restrictive legend substantially identical to that set forth as follows:

 

“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state (collectively, the “Acts”).  Neither the shares nor any interest therein may be

 

5



 

offered, sold, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in the absence of an effective registration statement with respect to the shares under all of the applicable Acts, or an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such registrations are not required.”

 

Any purported transfer of the Warrant or Warrant Shares not in compliance with the provisions of this section shall be null and void.  Stop transfer instructions have been or will be imposed with respect to the Warrant Shares so as to restrict resale or other transfer thereof, subject to this Section 2.6.

 

ARTICLE III

 

Anti-Dilution Provisions

 

3.1                               Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and/or the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events as follows:

 

a)                                     Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If at any time on or after the date of this Warrant the Company shall (i) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (ii) shall pay a dividend with respect to its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or any other equity or equity-equivalent securities, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares receivable shall be proportionately increased so that Registered Holder after such date shall be entitled to receive, upon payment of the same aggregate Exercise Price as would have been payable before such date, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that, if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such date, the Registered Holder would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend or subdivision; and, conversely, if at any time on or after the date of this Warrant the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of shares receivable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be proportionately decreased so that the Registered Holder after such date shall be entitled to receive, upon payment of the same aggregate Exercise Price as would have been payable before such date, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that, if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such date, the Registered Holder would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such combination.  Any adjustment under this subsection (a) shall become effective when the applicable dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

b)                                     Reclassification, Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger.  In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination pursuant to Section 3.1(a)), or in case of any reorganization, consolidation or

 

6



 

merger of the Company with or into another entity, the Company, or such successor entity, as the case may be, shall execute a new Warrant, providing that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant and procure upon such exercise in lieu of each Warrant Share theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, reorganization, consolidation or merger by a holder of one share of Common Stock.  Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3.  The provisions of this subsection shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, reorganizations, consolidations and mergers.

 

c)                                      Pro Rata Distributions.  Except to the extent that Sections 3.1(a) or 3.1(b) would otherwise apply, during such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Registered Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Registered Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the Warrant Shares immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

 

d)                                     Adjustment of Number of Shares.  Upon each adjustment in the Exercise Price, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately thereafter.

 

e)                                      Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment.  All calculations under this Section 3.1 shall be made to the nearest cent.  Any provision of this Section 3.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one percent, or would reduce the Exercise Price below the state par value of the Common Stock, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate one percent or more.

 

3.2                               Statement Regarding Adjustments.  Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1, and upon each change in the number of shares of the Common Stock

 

7



 

issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for this Warrant and at the principal office of the Company, a statement showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price and new number of shares issuable that shall be in effect after such adjustment, and the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be given to the Registered Holder.  Each such statement shall be signed by the Company’s chief financial or accounting officer.

 

3.3                               Costs.  The Company shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares or any certificate or other document evidencing such Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Company shall, upon request, reimburse the Registered Holder for any such documented taxes assessed against the Registered Holder.

 

3.4                               Reservations of Shares.  The Company shall reserve at all times so long as this Warrant remains outstanding, free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury Common Stock or its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, or both, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise hereof.  The Company shall cause to be executed and issued the necessary certificate or statement evidencing ownership in book-entry form for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending 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 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 actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Registered Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

3.5                               Valid Issuance.  All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance by the Company, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof attributable to any act or omission by the Company, and the Company shall take no action which will cause a contrary result (including without limitation, any action which would cause the Exercise Price to be less than the par value, if any, of the Common Stock).

 

3.6                               NASDAQ.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Warrant Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant would, when aggregated with any other issuances of the Company to the extent required pursuant to applicable NASDAQ listing rules, be greater than or equal to 1,610,620 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations), the portion of the Warrant Shares in excess of such threshold shall not include voting rights and shall not be issuable upon the exercise of the

 

8



 

purchase rights under this Warrant until such time as the Company is permitted to do so in compliance with applicable NASDAQ listing rules. To the extent any portion of the Warrant Shares do not have voting rights, the Company shall take all action necessary to promptly seek the required approval of its stockholders under Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635 (and its successor) so as to permit such Warrant Shares to have voting rights and to be issuable upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, the Registered Holder shall have no right to, and shall not, exercise any of the purchase rights under this Warrant unless and until any shareholder approval of the Company required under applicable NASDAQ listing rules has been obtained.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

Miscellaneous

 

4.1                               Entire Agreement.  This Warrant contains the entire agreement between the Registered Holder and the Company with respect to the Warrant Shares that it can purchase upon exercise hereof and the related transactions and supersedes all prior arrangements or understanding with respect thereto.

 

4.2                               Governing Law.   This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

 

4.3                               Submission to Jurisdiction.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware, the courts of the United States of America for the District of Delaware (each, a “Delaware Court”) and any appellate courts from any thereof and irrevocably waives any immunity from the jurisdiction of such courts and any claim of improper venue, forum non conveniens or any similar objection which it might otherwise be entitled to raise in any such suit, action or proceeding.  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that service of process upon such party by first-class mail to the address of such party pursuant to Section 4.7 shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon such party.  The parties further agree that any suit, action or proceeding instituted by a party to this Warrant against another party to this Warrant shall be initially instituted exclusively in a Delaware Court, and each of the parties hereby voluntarily and irrevocably waives all its rights, whether granted by statutory, constitutional or common law, to seek a trial before a jury with respect to such claim.

 

4.4                               Waiver and Amendment.  Any term or provision of this Warrant may be waived at any time by the party which is entitled to the benefits thereof, and any term or provision of this Warrant may be amended or supplemented at any time by the written consent of the parties (it being agreed that an amendment to or waiver under any of the provisions of Article III of this Warrant shall not be considered an amendment of the number of Warrant Shares or the Exercise Price).  No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

 

9



 

4.5                               Illegality.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Warrant shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in any other respect and the remaining provisions of this Warrant shall not, at the election of the party for whom the benefit of the provision exists, be in any way impaired.

 

4.6                               Copy of Warrant.  A copy of this Warrant shall be filed among the records of the Company.

 

4.7                               Notice.  Any notice or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Registered Holder shall be delivered at, or sent by certified or registered mail to such Registered Holder at, the last address shown on the books of the Company maintained at the Warrant Office for the registration of this Warrant or at any more recent address of which the Registered Holder shall have notified the Company in writing.  Any notice or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Company, other than such notice or documents required to be delivered to the Warrant Office, shall be delivered at, or sent by certified or registered mail to, the principal office of the Company, or any other address within the continental United States of America as shall have been designated in writing by the Company delivered to the Registered Holder.

 

4.8                               Limitation of Liability; Not Stockholders.  Until the exercise of this Warrant, the Registered Holder shall not have or exercise any rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions, or to receive notice of, or attend meetings of stockholders or any other proceedings of the Company.  Until the exercise of this Warrant, no provision hereof, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Registered Holder, shall give rise to any liability of such Registered Holder for the purchase price of any shares of Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

4.9                               Exchange, Loss, Destruction, etc. of Warrant.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company (provided, that an affidavit of the Registered Holder shall be deemed reasonably satisfactory evidence) of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction of this Warrant or any certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of indemnity or security in such form and amount as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the event of such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant; provided, however, that the original Registered Holder of this Warrant shall not be required to provide any bond of indemnity and may in lieu thereof provide their agreement of indemnity.  Any Warrant issued under the provisions of this Section 4.9 in lieu of any Warrant alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen, or in lieu of any mutilated Warrant, shall constitute an original contractual obligation on the part of the Company.  This Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company upon the surrender hereof in connection with any exchange or replacement.  The Registered Holder of this Warrant shall pay all taxes (including securities transfer taxes) and all other reasonable expenses and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of replacement Warrant(s) pursuant to this Section 4.9.

 

10



 

4.10                        Headings. The Article and Section and other headings herein are for convenience only and are not a part of this Warrant and shall not affect the interpretation thereof.

 

4.11                        Successors and Assigns.  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Registered Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Registered Holders from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by any such Registered Holder.

 

4.12                        Remedies. The parties hereto, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of their respective rights under this Warrant.  Each party agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.  The rights and remedies provided in this Warrant are cumulative and are not exclusive of, and are in addition to and not in substitution for, any other rights or remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise.

 

4.13                        Counterparts.  This Warrant may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement.  A signed copy of this Warrant delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Warrant.

 

4.14                        Further Assurances.  The Company and the Registered Holder will take such actions as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the provisions of this Warrant.
