(d) Replacement Warrant.

(b) This Guarantor Warrant may not be exercised as to fractional shares of Common Stock. In the event that the exercise of this Guarantor Warrant, in full or in part, would result in the right to acquire any fractional share of Common Stock, then in such event such fractional share shall be considered a whole share of Common Stock and shall be added to the number of Guarantor Warrant Shares issuable to the Investor upon exercise of this Guarantor Warrant.

Section 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company.

(a) The Company shall take all necessary action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation for the legal and valid issuance of this Guarantor Warrant and the Guarantor Warrant Shares to the Holder.

(b) The Guarantor Warrant Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will be duly authorized and, when paid for or issued in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(c) The Company has authorized and reserved for issuance to the Holder the requisite number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Guarantor Warrant. The Company at all times shall reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery as Guarantor Warrant Shares hereunder, such shares of Common Stock as from time to time shall be issuable as Guarantor Warrant Shares, and accordingly shall adjust the number of such shares of Common Stock promptly upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5.

Section 5. Adjustment of the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price and, accordingly, the number of Guarantor Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Guarantor Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

(a) Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger; Mandatory Share Exchange; Sale Transfer or Lease of Assets; Liquidating Dividends. If the Company, at any time while this Guarantor Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, (i) reclassifies or changes its outstanding Capital Shares (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value per share, or from no par value per share to par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Guarantor Warrant) or (ii) consolidates, merges or effects a mandatory share exchange with or into another corporation (other than a merger or mandatory share exchange with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or change, other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value per share, or from no par value per share to par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination of outstanding Capital Shares issuable upon exercise of the Guarantor Warrant) or (iii) sells, transfers or leases all or substantially all of its assets or (iv) makes a distribution of its assets or evidences of indebtedness

 

 

-5-

 



to the holders of its Capital Shares as a dividend in liquidation or by way of return of capital or other than as a dividend payable out of earnings or surplus legally available for dividends under applicable law, then in any such event the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall, without payment by the Holder of any additional consideration therefor, amend this Guarantor Warrant or issue a new warrant providing that the Holder shall have rights not less favorable to the Holder than those then applicable to this Guarantor Warrant and to receive upon exercise under such amendment of this Guarantor Warrant or new warrant, in lieu of each share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Guarantor Warrant hereunder, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities, money or property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, mandatory share exchange, lease, sale or transfer or distribution by the holder of one share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Guarantor Warrant had this Guarantor Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, mandatory share exchange, sale or transfer or distribution and an appropriate provision for the foregoing shall be made by the Company as part of any such event. Such amended Guarantor Warrant or new warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5. The provisions of this Section 5(a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, mandatory share exchanges, sales, transfers, leases and distributions.

(b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares; Stock Dividends. If the Company, at any time while this Guarantor Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, shall subdivide its Common Stock, combine its Common Stock, pay a dividend in its Capital Shares or make any other distribution of its Capital Shares to the holders of its Capital Shares, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, as of the effective date of such subdivision, combination, dividend or other distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, dividend or other distribution, by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of outstanding Capital Shares immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, dividend or other distribution, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of outstanding Capital Shares immediately after such subdivision, combination, dividend or other distribution. The provisions of this Section 5(b) shall not apply under any of the circumstances for which an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 5(a).

(c) Anti-dilution Adjustments.

(i) If the Company, at any time while this Guarantor Warrant is unexpired and not exercised in full, shall issue additional Capital Shares or Convertible Securities to a person other than the Holder (the “Additional Capital Shares”), for a consideration per share of Common Stock less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, as of the date of such issue of the Additional Capital Shares, by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of outstanding Capital Shares (on a fully diluted basis) plus the number of Capital Shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number

 

 

-6-

 



of Capital Shares so to be offered (or the aggregate initial conversion price of the Convertible Securities so to be offered) would purchase at the Exercise Price and of which the denominator shall be the total number of outstanding Capital Shares (on a fully diluted basis) immediately after such issue; provided, that in any such case in which additional Convertible Securities are issued, no further adjustments in the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or Capital Shares upon the conversion or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

(ii) For the purpose of making any adjustments to the Exercise Price of this Guarantor Warrant, “Additional Capital Shares” shall not include: (A) any Capital Shares issued pursuant to options, preferred stock, warrants, or other obligations to issue Capital Shares outstanding on the date hereof, (B) any Capital Shares or other securities that may be issued to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans or other arrangements that are approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, (C) any Capital Shares and/or options, warrants or other rights issued pursuant to any equipment loan or leasing arrangement, real property leasing arrangement or debt financing from a bank or similar financial institution approved by the Company’s Board of Director, (D) any Capital Shares and/or options, warrants or other rights issued for consideration other than cash pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition, strategic alliance or similar business combination approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, (E) any Capital Shares and/or options, warrants or other rights issued to third-party service providers in exchange for or as partial consideration for services rendered to the Company or (F) any Capital Shares and/or options, warrants or other rights issued in connection with strategic transactions involving the Company and other entities, including (x) joint ventures, manufacturing, marketing or distribution arrangements or (y) technology transfer or development arrangements; provided that the issuance of shares therein has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. References to Capital Shares in this Section 5(c) shall mean all Capital Shares issued by the Company and all Capital Shares that may be issued upon conversion or exercise of the Convertible Securities.

(iii) The provisions of this Section 5(c) shall not apply under any of the circumstances for which an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 5(a) or Section 5(b).

(d) Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to any provisions of this Section 5, the number of Guarantor Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be calculated, to the nearest one hundredth of a whole share, multiplying the number of Guarantor Warrant Shares issuable prior to an adjustment by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price before any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5; and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price after such adjustment.

(e) Notice of Certain Actions. In the event the Company shall, at a time while the Guarantor Warrant is unexpired and outstanding, take any action pursuant to subsections (a) through (d) of this Section 5 that may result in an adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Company

 

 

-7-

 



shall notify the Holder of such action, if practicable ten (10) days in advance of its effective date, in order to afford to the Holder an opportunity to exercise the Guarantor Warrant prior to such action becoming effective.

(f) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or number of Guarantor Warrant Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5, the Company shall promptly deliver by facsimile, with the original delivered by express courier service in accordance with Section 10, a certificate, which shall be signed by any officer of the Company, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Company’s board of directors made any determination hereunder), and the Exercise Price and number of Guarantor Warrant Shares purchasable at that Exercise Price after giving effect to such adjustment.

Section 6. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws 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 Guarantor Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any Guarantor Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, and (b) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Guarantor Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Guarantor Warrant.

Section 7. Rights as Stockholder. Prior to exercise of this Guarantor Warrant and except as provided in Section 5, the Holder shall not be entitled to any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Guarantor Warrant Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such shares, receive dividends or other distributions thereon or be notified of stockholder meetings. However, in the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Company shall mail to each Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

Section 8. Replacement of Guarantor Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Guarantor Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of the Guarantor Warrant, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Guarantor Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Guarantor Warrant of like tenor.
