ARTICLE 1.                           EXERCISE.

 

1.1                               Method of Exercise.  On or before the Expiration Date (subject to Section 5.1 hereof), holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering this Warrant-and a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company.  Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check or wire for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.

 

1.2                               Reserved.

 

1.3                               Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant.  Within 45 days after Holder exercises this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.

 

1.4                               Replacement of Warrants.  On receipt by the Company of reasonable evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in the case of loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

 

1.5                               Acquisition of the Company.

 

1.5.1                     “Acquisition”.  For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means (a) any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets (including intellectual property) of the Company, or (b) any reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale of the voting securities of the Company or any other transaction where the holders of the Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction.

 

1



 

1.5.2                     Treatment of Warrant in the event of an Acquisition.  The Company shall give Holder written notice at least 20 days prior to the closing of any proposed Acquisition.  The Company will use its best efforts to cause the acquirer of the Company under the Acquisition (the “Acquirer”) to assume this Warrant as a part of the Acquisition.

 

(a)                                 If the Acquirer assumes this Warrant, then this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing.  The Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly, and the Warrant Price and number and class of Shares shall continue to be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

(b)                                 If the Acquirer refuses to assume this Warrant in connection with the Acquisition, the Company shall give Holder an additional written notice at least ten (10) days prior to the closing of the Acquisition of such fact.  In such event, notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant to the contrary, Holder may immediately exercise this Warrant in the manner specified in this Warrant with such exercise effective immediately prior to closing of the Acquisition.  If Holder elects not to exercise this Warrant, then this Warrant will terminate immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant to the contrary if the Acquirer refuses to assume this Warrant in connection with such Acquisition, other than in connection with an Excluded Acquisition (as defined below), then effective immediately as of the date that is ten (10) days prior to the closing of such Acquisition, the Warrant Price shall be automatically adjusted, without further action of any party, to $0.01 per share.  As used herein, an “Excluded Acquisition” means, an Acquisition where the consideration that the holders of the Shares are entitled to receive on account of the Shares consists entirely of cash and/or shares of common stock that are publicly traded and listed on a national exchange and where the shares, if any, receivable by the Holder of this Warrant were the Holder to exercise this Warrant in full immediately prior to the closing of such Acquisition may be publicly re-sold by the Holder in their entirety within the three (3) months following such closing pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

1.6                               “Warrant Price” means, initially, $5.7507.

 

ARTICLE 2.                           ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

 

2.1                               Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc.  If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock payable in common stock, or other securities, or subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive,-without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

 

2.2                               Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution.  Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event.  Such an event shall include any automatic, conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (the “Company Certificate of Incorporation”) upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company’s common stock.  The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new warrant for such new securities or other property.  The new warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new warrant.  The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

 

2.3                               Adjustments for Combinations, Etc...  If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification, reverse split or otherwise, into a lesser Number of Shares, the Warrant Price shall he proportionately increased and the number of Shares issuable under this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.  If the outstanding Shares are split or multiplied, by reclassification or otherwise, into a greater Number of Shares, the

Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased and the number of Shares issuable under this Warrant shall be proportionately increased.

 

2.4                               [Reserved.]

 

2.5                               No Impairment.  The Company shall not, by amendment of the Company Certificate of Incorporation or through a 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 to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article 2 against impairment.  The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company shall not be deemed to have impaired Holder’s rights if it amends the Company Certificate of Incorporation, or the holders of the Company’s common stock waive their rights thereunder, in a manner that does not (individually or when considered in the context of any other actions being taken in connection with any such amendments or waivers) affect Holder in a manner different from the effect that such amendments or waivers have on the rights of other holders of the Shares.

 

2.6                               Certificate as to Adjustments.  Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate signed by its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based.  The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

 

2.7                               Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.  If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder an amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, of a full Share.

3.1                               Representations and Warranties.  The Company hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Holder as follows:

3.2                               Notice of Certain Events.  If the Company proposes at any time (a) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its stock, whether in cash, property, stock, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend; (b) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights; (c) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of stock; or (d) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell, lease, license, or convey all or substantially all of its assets, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up, then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall give Holder (1) at least 20 days prior written notice of the date on which a record will be taken for such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of stock will be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in (a) and (b) above; and (2) in the case of the matters referred to in (c) and (d) above at least 20 days prior written notice of the date when the same will take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of stock will be entitled to exchange their stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
