Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, Payment and the Warrant, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have exercised the Warrant and become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised on the Delivery Date, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares.

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 in replacement of this Warrant upon issuance will be, duly authorized, executed and delivered.

Except as specifically provided in Section 2(a), nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed to (a) grant the Holder any rights to receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, 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 subscription rights, or otherwise, or (b) impose any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities or as a stockholder of the Company, whether asserted by the Company or creditors of the Company, prior to the issuance of the Warrant Shares.

 

Section 5.  Representations of Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for its own account for investment only 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. The Holder further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, the Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”). Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale and that the Holder is an Accredited Investor. If the Holder cannot make such representations because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant 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 federal or state securities laws. The Company shall not be penalized or disadvantaged by a Holder’s inability to exercise this Warrant due to its inability to make the required representations in connection with the exercise of this Warrant.

 

Section 6.  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 hereof), 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 who has acquired this Warrant in accordance with applicable law and the terms of this Warrant. 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 may only be offered, sold, transferred or assigned: (i) in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; and (ii) with the prior written consent of the Company.

 

Section 7.  Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a)  Stock Splits. If the Company subdivides (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(b)  Stock Dividends. If the Company declares a dividend or any other distribution upon the Common Stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the declaration of the dividend or distribution will be reduced to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the declaration multiplied by the then effective Exercise Price by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the declaration.

 

Section 8.  Purchase Rights; Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

 

(a)  Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or other transaction in each case 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 an “Organic Change.” Upon the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s 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 the assets or the successor resulting from the Organic Change (in each case, the “Acquiring Entity”) a written agreement to deliver to Holder in exchange for this Warrant, a security of the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. Prior to the consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that Holder will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets that would have been issued or payable in the Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares that would have been acquirable as of the date of the Organic Change.

 

Section 9.  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 reasonably satisfactory to the Company (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 10.  Notice. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by fax transmittal (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.
