Section 2.2                                      Form of Warrant.  The Warrant will be in the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement.

 

Section 2.3                                      Securities Act Compliance.  WRH understands that the Company has not registered the Warrant or the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities law, and WRH agrees that neither the Warrant nor the Warrant Shares shall be sold, transferred or offered for sale without registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities law, or the availability of an exemption therefrom.

 

ARTICLE III
Investor Representations and Warranties

 

WRH hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

Section 3.1                                      Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  The Warrants and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) are being acquired for investment for WRH’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and WRH has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing same.

 

2



 

Section 3.2                                      Disclosure of Information.  WRH believes it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Securities.  WRH further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.

 

Section 3.3                                      Investment Experience.  WRH is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities.  WRH also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.  WRH acknowledges that any investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, and represents that it is able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment.

 

Section 3.4                                      Accredited Investor.  WRH is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, as presently in effect.

 

Section 3.5                                      Restricted Securities.  WRH understands that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in limited circumstances.  In this connection, WRH represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.  THE INVESTOR UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES HEREIN THAT AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES INVOLVES AN EXTREMELY HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND MAY RESULT IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF ITS INVESTMENT.  WRH understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or qualified under the laws of any state and, except as provided herein, will not be registered or qualified, and thus WRH will not be able to resell or otherwise transfer the Securities unless they are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and registered or qualified under applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.  WRH has no immediate need for liquidity in connection with this investment and does not anticipate that WRH will be required to sell Securities in the foreseeable future.

 

Section 3.6                                      Further limitations on Disposition.  Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, WRH further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by this Agreement.

 

Section 3.7                                      Legends.  The Securities shall bear legends substantially as shown in the Form of Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

Section 3.8                                      No Reliance on Others.  WRH acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm or corporation, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company.

ARTICLE IV
Registration Rights

 

Section 4.1                                      Registration Rights.  Upon WRH’s execution and delivery of a Joinder to the Investors’ Rights Agreement, in the form of Exhibit B hereto, the Warrant Shares shall be deemed Registrable Securities pursuant the Investors’ Rights Agreement, and WRH shall be a Holder pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement.

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH RESPECT THERETO AND ALL APPLICABLE QUALIFICATIONS UNDER STATE SECURITIES LAWS SHALL HAVE BEEN OBTAINED WITH RESPECT THERETO; (ii) A WRITTEN OPINION FROM COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER HAS BEEN OBTAINED STATING THAT NO SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION IS REQUIRED; OR (iii) SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT.

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK OF INNOVATIVE MICRO TECHNOLOGY, INC.

 

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Innovative Micro Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to WR Hambrecht + Co., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Holder”), an irrevocable warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase, subject to the other terms hereof, 113,333 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”), at the Warrant Price, as defined below, at any time beginning on January 25, 2005 and ending on January 24, 2009 (the “Expiration Date”).

 

1.                                       Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.  This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, and on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Company, in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., Santa Barbara time, on the Expiration Date, and by payment to the Company by wire transfer (in accordance with the wire transfer instructions attached hereto as Exhibit B) of the aggregate Warrant Price for the number of Shares designated by the Holder (but not more than the number of Shares for which this Warrant then remains subject and unexercised).  Consideration received by the Company under a broker-assisted sale and remittance program acceptable to the Company may also be used to exercise this Warrant.  Certificates for the Shares so purchased will be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding fifteen (15) business days, after this Warrant has been exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, it will continue in effect with respect to the number of Shares, if any, as to which it has not then been exercised and which remain covered by this Warrant as herein provided.  Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the business day on which the Notice is given to the Company.  At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate for the Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Shares represented by such certificate or certificates, and to be entitled to all rights of a Stockholder with respect to such Shares, including without limitation voting rights.

2.                                       Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares.  The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

 

2.1.                              All Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

 

2.2.                              During the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance or transfer upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of Shares to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.

 

2.3.                              The Company will take all actions necessary to assure that the Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange upon which the shares of the Company may then be listed.

 

3.                                       Warrant Price.

 

3.1.                              Initial Warrant Price; Subsequent Adjustment of Price and Number of Purchasable Shares.  The initial Warrant Price (“Initial Warrant Price”) will be three dollars ($3.00) per Share, and will be adjusted from time to time as provided below.  The Initial Warrant Price or, if such price has been adjusted, the price per Share as last adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof, is referred to as the “Warrant Price” herein.

 

3.2.                              Subdivision or Combination of Shares.  If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the same class, the number of Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be adjusted to represent the aggregate number of securities that, if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such event, the Holder would have owned upon such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification, and the Warrant Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.

 

3.3.                              Reclassification.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, by reclassification of securities or otherwise shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Warrant Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted.

 

3.4.                              Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or Property.  If while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired holders of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become

 

3



 

entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company by way of dividend, then and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company that the Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional securities available to it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period.

 

3.5.                              Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.  If, while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, any capital reorganization or reclassification of the stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation or entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation will be effected in such a way that holders of the securities for which this Warrant is exercisable will be entitled to receive shares, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for such securities, then, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive such shares, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding securities equal to the number of securities purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such event.  If a purchase, tender or exchange offer is made to and accepted by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company (on an as-converted to Common Stock basis), the Company will not effect any consolidation, merger or sale with the Person, as defined below, making such offer or with any Affiliate, as defined below, of such Person, unless, before the consummation of such consolidation, merger or sale, the Holder of this Warrant is given at least ten (10) business days’ notice prior to the scheduled closing date (the “Closing Date”) of such transaction (which notice shall specify the material terms of such transaction and the proposed Closing Date).  In the event the Holder elects to exercise this Warrant or any portion thereof following such notice and such consolidation, merger or sale is not consummated within ten (10) days of the proposed Closing Date (or any subsequent proposed Closing Date), then the Holder may rescind its exercise of this Warrant by providing written notice thereof to the Company, the Company shall take all actions consistent therewith (including without limitation the immediate return of the Warrant Price paid with respect to such rescinded exercise) and this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect.  As used in this paragraph, the term “Person” includes an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a trust, a joint venture, a limited liability company, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof, and an “Affiliate” of a Person means any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with, such other Person.  A Person will be deemed to control a corporation or other business entity if such Person possesses, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such corporation, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

 

3.6.                              Notice of Adjustment.  Upon any adjustment of the number of Shares or the Warrant Price, the Company will give written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the Holder’s address as shown on the books of the Company,

 

4



 

which notice will state (i) the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, and (ii) whether, after giving effect to such adjustment, the maximum number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant will constitute more than 5% of the total number of the then issued and outstanding Shares (including in such total number the maximum number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant).

 

3.7.                              Other Notices.  If at any time:

 

3.7.1.                     the Company declares a cash dividend on its Common Stock payable at a rate in excess of the rate of the last cash dividend theretofore paid;

 

3.7.2.                     the Company declares a dividend on its Common Stock payable in securities or pays a special dividend or other distribution (other than regular cash dividends) to holders of its Shares;

 

3.7.3.                     the Company offers for subscription to holders of any of its Common Stock additional shares of any class or other rights;

 

3.7.4.                     there is a reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation or other entity; or

 

3.7.5.                     there is a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then the Company will give, as provided in paragraph 14 below, to the Holder’s address as shown on the books of the Company, (i) at least ten (10) business days’ prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company will close or a record will be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least ten (10) business days’ prior written notice of the date when the same will take place.  Any notice required by clause (i) will also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the Holder will be entitled thereto, and any notice required by (ii) will also specify the anticipated date on which the Holder will be entitled to exchange its Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be.

 

4.                                       Listing.  If any Shares required to be reserved for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law (other than the filing of a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as then in effect (the “Securities Act”), or any similar law then in effect), or listing on any securities exchange, before such Shares may be issued upon such exercise, the Company will, at its expense and as expeditiously as possible, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shares to be duly registered or approved or listed on the relevant securities exchange, as the case may be.

 

5



 

5.                                       Closing of Books.  The Company will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of this Warrant or of any Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

 

6.                                       Definition of Common Stock.  As used in this Warrant the term “Common Stock” includes the Company’s authorized Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, as constituted on the date hereof and also includes any shares of any class of stock or other equity securities of the Company thereafter authorized which will not be limited to a fixed sum or percentage of par value in respect of the rights of holders thereof to participate in dividends or in the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
