Effective Date: December __, 2006
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
OF
INNCARDIO, INC.
(Subject to Adjustment)
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, _________________ (“Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof (the “Effective Date”), to purchase up to ____________________________ (___________) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Warrant Shares”), from Inncardio Inc. (renamed Long-e International, Inc. on December 21, 2006), a Utah corporation (the “Company”), at an exercise price per share equal to Forty Cents ($0.40) per share (the “Purchase Price”). This Warrant shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on that date which is sixty (60) months from the date of this Warrant (the “Expiration Date”). Both the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”) and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment and change as provided herein. This Warrant is issued in connection with that certain Private Placement Engagement Agreement dated June 20, 2006 and in conjunction with the Company’s recently completed Private Placement transaction.
1. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. As used in this Warrant the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
“1933 Act” shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
“Common Stock” shall mean the Common Stock of the Company and any other securities at any time receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
“SEC” shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT
1
2.1 Payment. Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant and applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, on or before the Expiration Date by the delivery (including, without limitation, delivery by facsimile) of the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly executed by the Holder, at the address of the Company as set forth herein, and as soon as practicable after such date,
(a) surrendering this Warrant at the address of the Company, and
(b) providing payment, by check or by wire transfer, of an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise by the then effective Purchase Price (the “Exercise Amount”).
2.2 Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant (or a reasonably acceptable affidavit and indemnity undertaking in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed warrant) at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election (a “Net Exercise”). A Holder who Net Exercises shall have the rights applicable to a Net Exercise described in this Warrant, and the Company shall issue to such Holder a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:
Y (A - B)
X = A
Where
X = | The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder. |
Y = | The number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being cancelled (at the date of such calculation). |
A = | The fair market value of one (1) Warrant Share (at the date of such calculation). |
B = | The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations). |
For purposes of this Section 2.2, the fair market value of a Warrant Share shall mean the average of the closing price of the Warrant Shares (or equivalent shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant Shares) quoted in the over-the-counter market in which the Warrant Shares (or equivalent shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant Shares) are traded or the closing price quoted on any exchange or electronic securities market on which the Warrant Shares (or equivalent shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant Shares) are listed, whichever is applicable, as published in The Wall Street Journal for the thirty (30) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value (or such shorter period of time during which such Warrant Shares were traded over-the-counter or on such exchange). If the Warrant Shares are not traded on the over-the-counter market, an exchange or an electronic securities market, the fair market value shall be the price per Warrant Share that the Company could obtain from a willing buyer for Warrant Shares sold by the Company from authorized but unissued Warrant Shares, as such prices shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, unless the Company is subject to a Corporate Transaction (as defined below) at such time, in which case the fair market value shall be deemed to be the value to be received by the holders of Warrant Shares pursuant to such Corporate Transaction. “Corporate Transaction” shall mean any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), or any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company.
2
2.3 Common Stock Certificates; Fractional Shares. As soon as practicable on or after the date of an exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon an exercise of this Warrant.
2.4 Partial Exercise: Effective Date of Exercise. In case of any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Holder and the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon surrender hereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above. The Company acknowledges that the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the date the Holder is deemed to have exercised this Warrant.
3. TAXES. The Company shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of the delivery of shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the delivery of any certificate for shares of Common Stock in any name other than that of the Holder of this Warrant, and in such case the Company shall not be required to deliver any stock certificate until such tax or other charge has been paid, or it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.
4. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. The number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon exercise of this Warrant) and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment upon occurrence of the following events:
4.1 Adjustment for Stock Splits, Subdivisions or Combinations of Shares of Common Stock. The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be proportionally increased to reflect any stock split or subdivision of the Company’s Common Stock. The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally increased and the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be proportionally decreased to reflect any combination of the Company’s Common Stock.
3
4.2 Adjustment for Dividends or Distributions of Stock or Other Securities or Property. In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) payable in (a) securities of the Company or (b) assets (excluding cash dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then, in each such case, the Registered Holder of this Warrant on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation, effective date or record date of such dividend or other distribution, shall receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such date, and without the payment of additional consideration therefor, the securities or such other assets of the Company to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such date if such Holder had exercised 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 stock available by it as aforesaid during such period giving effect to all adjustments called for by this Section 4.
4.3 Reclassification. If the Company, 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 Purchase Price therefore shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.3 upon any conversion or redemption of the Common Stock which is the subject of Section 4.5.
4.4 Adjustment for Capital Reorganization. Merger or Consolidation. In case of any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), or any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, then, and in each such case, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Purchase Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the per-share consideration payable to the Holder hereof for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.
4
4.5 Conversion of Common Stock. In case all or any portion of the authorized and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are redeemed or converted or reclassified into other securities or property pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, or the Common Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Registered Holder of this Warrant, upon exercise hereof at any time after the date on which the Common Stock is so redeemed or converted, reclassified or ceases to exist (the “Termination Date”), shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been deliverable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Termination Date, the securities or property that would have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the Common Stock received thereupon had been simultaneously converted immediately prior to the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant. Additionally, the Purchase Price shall be immediately adjusted to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate Purchase Price of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Termination Date by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
5. LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory the Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to him, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will cause to be executed and delivered in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like tenor as the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.
6. REPRESENTATION. The Company hereby covenants that all shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, when delivered upon such exercise, shall be free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights, except encumbrances or restrictions arising under federal or state securities laws. Further, the Company hereby covenants to reserve such number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant.
7. TRANSFER. This Warrant may not be transferred by the Holder without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. In the event of a transfer to which the Company has previously consented in writing, this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be transferred by the Holder upon delivery of the form of Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (the “Assignment”), duly executed by the Holder, surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed at the address of the Company and payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. Upon any partial transfer, the Holder and Company will cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Warrant or Warrants with respect to the portion of this Warrant not so transferred. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed, the person in possession of this Warrant may be treated by the Company, and all other persons dealing with this Warrant, as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however that until a transfer of this Warrant is duly registered on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the Holder hereof as the owner for all purposes.
5
8. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration statement filed with the SEC under the 1933 Act, covering the disposition or sale of this Warrant or the Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise hereof or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, as the case may be, and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, such Holder will not sell, transfer, pledge, or hypothecate any or all such Warrants or Common Stock, as the case may be, unless either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such registration is not required in connection with such disposition or (ii) the sale of such securities is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144.
9. REGISTRATION RIGHTS
9.1 Registration Requirement. Subject to the terms and limitations hereof, the Company shall file a registration statement on Form SB-2 or other appropriate registration document under the Act (the “Registration Statement”) for resale of the Warrant Shares (the “Registrable Securities”) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the Registration Statement effective for a period of twenty-four (24) months at the Company’s expense (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall file such Registration Statement no later than ten (10) days after the end of the six month period that immediately follows the date on which the company files a registration statement to register shares issued in the December 2006 private placement of its securities (the “Registration Filing Date”), and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective within one hundred and fifty (150) days after the Registration Filing Date, or one hundred eighty (180) days after the Registration Filing Date if the Registration Statement is subject to a full review by the SEC.
9.2 Limitation to Registration Requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration of the Registrable Securities or take any other action pursuant to this Section 9 (i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Act, or (ii) during any period in which the Company suspends the rights of the Holder after giving the Holder written notification of a Potential Material Event (defined below) pursuant to Section 9.6 hereof.
9.3 Expenses of Registration. Except as otherwise expressly set forth, the Company shall bear all expenses incurred by the Company in compliance with the registration obligation of the Company, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Warrant and all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and expense allowances applicable to the sale of any securities by the Company for its own account in any registration. All underwriting discounts, selling commissions and expense allowances applicable to the sale by the Holder of Registrable Securities and all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Holder shall be borne by the Holder.

9.4 Indemnification.
(a) To the extent permitted by law the Company will indemnify the Holder, each of its officers, directors, agents, employees and partners, and each person controlling such Holder, with respect to each registration, qualification or compliance effected pursuant to this Warrant, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter, and their respective counsel against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document prepared by the Company (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Act or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and subject to the provisions of Section 9.4(c) below, will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors, agents, employees and partners, and each person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses as they are reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omissions) based upon written information furnished to the Company by (or on behalf of) such Holder or underwriter, or if the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof did not receive a copy of an amended preliminary prospectus or the final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended and supplemented) at or before the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities to such person because of the failure of the Holder or underwriter to so provide such amended preliminary or final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended and supplemented); provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by the Holder, any such partner, officer, director, employee, agent or controlling person of such Holder, or any such underwriter or any person who controls any such underwriter; provided, however, that the obligations of the Company hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the portion of net proceeds represented by the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Warrant.
7
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in any registration, qualification or compliance effected pursuant to this Warrant will indemnify the Company, and its directors, officers, agents, employees and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, each other such Holder and each of their officers, directors, partners, agents and employees, and each person controlling such Holder, and their respective counsel against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such Holders, directors, officers, partners, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses as they are reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder; provided, however, that the obligations of any Holder hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder from Registrable Securities sold under such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document as contemplated herein; provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; and provided further that if any Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are not available to the Indemnifying Party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect on matters beyond the scope of this Warrant, then the Indemnified Party may retain its own counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Warrant unless and only to the extent that such failure to give notice results in material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
8
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9.4 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
9.5 Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. Consistent with Section 7 and Section 8 of this Warrant, the Registrable Securities, and any related benefits to the Holder hereunder may be transferred or assigned by the Holder to a permitted transferee or assignee, provided that the Company is given written notice of such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of said transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; provided further that the transferee or assignee of such Registrable Securities shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Holder under this Warrant by the acceptance of such assignment and shall, upon request from the Company, evidence such assumption by delivery to the Company of a written agreement assuming such obligations of the Holder.
9.6 Registration Procedures. In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Warrant, the Company will keep the Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof. The Company will:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of securities covered by such registration statement;
(b) Respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to a registration statement or any amendment thereto.
(c) Notify the Holder as promptly as reasonably practicable and (if requested by any such person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one trading day following the day (A) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a registration statement is proposed to be filed and (B) with respect to a registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective;
(d) Furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents incident thereto, including supplements and amendments, as the Holder may reasonably request;
9
(e) Furnish to the Holder, upon request, a copy of all documents filed with and all correspondence from or to the SEC in connection with any such registration statement other than non-substantive cover letters and the like;
(f) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment; and
(g) Use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Company notifies the Holder in writing of the existence of an event or circumstance that is not disclosed in the Registration Statement and that may have a material effect on the Company or its business (a “Potential Material Event”), the Holder shall not offer or sell any Registrable Securities, or engage in any other transaction involving or relating to the Registrable Securities, from the time of the giving of notice with respect to a Potential Material Event until the Company notifies the Holder that such Potential Material Event either has been added to the Registration Statement by amendment or supplement or no longer constitutes a Potential Material Event.
9.7 Statement of Beneficial Ownership. The Company may require the Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and the controlling person thereof and any other such information regarding the Holder, the Registrable Securities held by the Holder and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required with respect to the registration of the Holder’s Registrable Securities. The Holder hereby understands and agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, exclude the Holder’s shares of Common Stock from the Registration Statement in the event that the Holder fails to provide such information requested by the Company within the time period reasonably specified by the Company or is required to do so by law or the SEC.
9.8 Compliance. Holder covenants and agrees that such Holder will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Act as applicable to such Holder in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement required hereunder.
9.9 Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective registration statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Act of any of its Common Stock, other than an offering of securities issued pursuant to a Strategic Issuance (as defined below) and other than a Form S-4 or Form S-8 registration statement (each as promulgated under the Act or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any business combination transaction, acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), then the Company shall send to the Holder (together with any other holders of its Common Stock possessing “piggyback registration rights” comparable to those granted to the Holder hereunder (“Rightsholders”)) written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, the Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Act; and provided further that the Company may, without the consent of the Holder, withdraw such registration statement before its becoming effective if the Company or other stockholders have elected to abandon the proposal to register the securities proposed to be registered thereunder. If the registration statement is being filed for an underwritten public offering, the Holder must timely execute and deliver the usual and customary agreement among the Company, such Holder and the underwriters relating to the registration including a lock-up agreement if requested by the underwriters with respect to any shares of Common Stock not included in the registration, on terms no less favorable than those agreed to by the Company, its directors and its officers. If the registration statement is being filed for an underwritten offer and sale by the Company of securities for its own account and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the offering contemplated by the registration statement cannot be successfully completed if the Company were to also register the Registrable Shares of the Holder requested to be included in such registration statement, then the Company will include in the registration: (i) first, any securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, any securities of any person whose securities are being registered as a result of the exercise of a demand registration right, and (iii) third, that portion of the aggregate number of shares being requested for inclusion in the registration statement by (X) the Holder and (Y) all other Rightsholders, which in the opinion of such managing underwriters can successfully be sold, such number of shares to be taken pro rata from the Rightsholders on the basis of the total number of shares being requested for inclusion in the registration statement by each Rightsholder. “Strategic Issuance” shall mean an issuance of securities: (i) in connection with a “corporate partnering” transaction or a “strategic alliance” (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith); (ii) in connection with any financing transaction in respect of which the Company is a borrower; or (iii) to a vendor, lessor, lender, or customer of the Company, or a research, manufacturing or other commercial collaborator of the Company, in a transaction approved by the Board of Directors, provided in any case, that such issuance is not being made primarily for the purpose of avoiding compliance with this Warrant.
10
10. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder hereby represents, warrants and covenants that he/she/it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D, that any shares of stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant or acquired upon conversion thereof shall be acquired for investment only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, that the Holder has had such opportunity as such Holder has deemed adequate to obtain from representatives of the Company such information as is necessary to permit the Holder to evaluate the merits and risks of its investment in the Company; that the Holder is able to bear the economic risk of holding such shares as may be acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period; that the Holder understands that the shares of stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant or acquired upon conversion thereof will not be registered under the 1933 Act (unless otherwise required pursuant to exercise by the Holder of the registration rights, if any, previously granted to the Holder) and will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act and that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available for at least one year from the date of exercise of this Warrant, and even then will not be available unless a public market then exists for the stock, adequate information concerning the Company is then available to the public, and other terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with; and that all stock certificates representing shares of stock issued to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant or upon conversion of such shares may have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form:
11
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
