WARRANT

 

TO PURCHASE            SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

OF

TITAN MACHINERY INC.

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration,                               (“                      ”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from Titan Machinery Inc., a North Dakota corporation (the “Company”), at any time after the date hereof up to and including 5:00 p.m. Central time on                              (the “Expiration Date”),                                            (          ) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock of the Company at the price of $          per share (the “Warrant Exercise Price”), subject to the antidilution provisions of this Warrant. The shares which may be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant are referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares.”  As used herein, the term “Holder” means                           , any party who acquires all or a part of this Warrant as a registered transferee of                   , or any record holder or holders of the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise, whether in whole or in part, of the Warrant. As used herein, the term “Common Stock” means and includes the Company’s presently authorized common stock $.00001 par value, and shall also include any capital stock of any class of the Company hereafter authorized which shall not be limited to a fixed sum or percentage in respect of the rights of the 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.

 

This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:

 

1.                                       Exercise; Transferability.

 

(a)                                  Subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), by written notice of exercise (in the form attached hereto) delivered to the Company at the principal office of the Company prior to the Expiration Date and accompanied or preceded by the surrender of this Warrant along with a check in payment of the Warrant Exercise Price for such shares.

 



 

2.                                       Exchange and Replacement. Subject to Sections 1 and 8 hereof, this Warrant is exchangeable upon the surrender hereof by the Holder to the Company at its office for new Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares (not to exceed the aggregate total number purchasable hereunder) as shall be designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu of this Warrant; provided, however, that if                            shall be such Holder, an agreement of indemnity by such Holder shall be sufficient for all purposes of this Section 2. This Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company upon the surrender hereof in connection with any exchange or replacement. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes (other than stock transfer taxes), and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of Warrants pursuant to this Section 2.

 

3.                                       Issuance of the Warrant Shares.

 

(a)                                  The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased hereby shall be and are deemed to be issued to the Holder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and the payment made for such Warrant Shares as aforesaid. Subject to the provisions of the next section, certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding fifteen (15) days after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to the Holder within such time.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Company shall not be required to deliver any certificate for Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant except in accordance with exemptions from the applicable securities registration requirements or registrations under applicable securities laws. Such Holder shall also provide the Company with written representations from the Holder and the proposed transferee satisfactory to the Company regarding the transfer or, at the election of the Company, an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the proposed transfer of this Warrant or disposition of shares may be effected without registration or qualification (under any Federal or State law) of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares. Upon receipt of such written notice and either such representations or opinion by the Company, such Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant, or to exercise this Warrant in accordance with its terms and dispose of the Warrant Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by such Holder to the Company, provided that an appropriate legend, if any, respecting the aforesaid restrictions on transfer and disposition may be endorsed on this Warrant or the certificates for the Warrant Shares. Nothing

 

2



 

herein, however, shall obligate the Company to effect registration under federal or state securities laws. If a registration is not in effect and if an exemption is not available when the Holder seeks to exercise the Warrant, the Warrant exercise period will be extended, if need be, to prevent the Warrant from expiring, until such time as either registration become effective or an exemption is available, and the Warrant shall  then remain exercisable for a period of at least thirty (30) calendar days from the date the Company delivers to the Holder written notice of the availability of such registration or exemption. The Holder agrees to execute such documents and make such representations, warranties, and agreements as may be required solely to comply with the exemption relied upon by the Company, or the registration made, for the issuance of the Warrant Shares.

 

4.                                       Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares will, upon issuance, be duly authorized and issued, fully paid, nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof except for all taxes, liens and charges imposed by the Holder. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

 

5.                                       Antidilution Adjustments. The provisions of this Warrant are subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 5.

 

(a)                                  The Warrant Exercise Price shall be adjusted from time to time such that in case the Company shall hereafter:

 

(i)                                     pay any dividends on any class of stock of the Company payable in Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock;

 

(ii)                                  subdivide its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares; or

 

(iii)                               combine outstanding shares of Common Stock, by reclassification or                   otherwise;

 

then, in any such event, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall (until adjusted again pursuant hereto) be adjusted immediately after such event to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by dividing (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event, multiplied by the then existing Warrant Exercise Price, by (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event (including the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of any securities convertible into Common Stock), and the resulting quotient shall be the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price per share. An adjustment made pursuant to this Subsection shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and

 

3



 

shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Subsection, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price between or among shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock. All calculations under this Subsection shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100 of a share, as the case may be. In the event that at any time as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Subsection, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled to receive  any shares of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the Warrant Exercise Price of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock contained in this Section 5.

 

(b)                                 Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price pursuant to Section 5(a) above, the Holder of each Warrant shall thereafter (until another such adjustment) be entitled to purchase at the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price the number of shares, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of shares specified in such Warrant (as adjusted as a result of all adjustments in the Warrant Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment) by the Warrant Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price.

 

(c)                                  Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, then and in each such case, the Company shall within ten (10) days after the date when the circumstances giving rise to the adjustment occurred give written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares of Common Stock 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.

 

6.                                       Acquisition of the Company. In the event of an acquisition of the Company through the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets and the consequent discontinuance of its business or through a merger, consolidation, exchange, reorganization, divestiture or liquidation of the Company (collectively referred to as a “transaction”), the Board may provide for one or more of the following:

 

(a)                                  the cancellation of outstanding Warrants not exercised prior to a date specified by the Board (which date shall give Warrant Holders a reasonable period of time in which to exercise the Warrants prior to the effectiveness of such transaction);

 

(b)                                 that Holders of outstanding Warrants shall receive, with respect to each share of Common Stock subject to such Warrants, as of the effective date of any such transaction, cash in an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such Stock on the date immediately

 

4



 

preceding the effective date of such transaction over the Warrant Exercise Price; provided that the Board may, in lieu of such cash payment, distribute to such Warrant Holders shares of Common Stock of the Company or shares of stock of any corporation succeeding the Company by reason of such transaction, such shares having a value equal to the cash payment herein;

 

(c)                                  that Holders of outstanding Warrants shall have the right to exercise their respective Warrants as to an economically equivalent number of shares of stock of the corporation succeeding the Company by reason of such transaction.

 

7.                                       No Voting Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company.

 

8.                                       Notice of Transfer of Warrant or Resale of the Warrant Shares.

 

(a)                                  Subject to the sale, assignment, hypothecation, or other transfer restrictions set forth in Section 1 hereof, the Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees to give written notice to the Company before transferring this Warrant or transferring any Warrant Shares of such Holder’s intention to do so, describing briefly the manner of any proposed transfer. Promptly upon receiving such written notice, the Company shall present copies thereof to the Company’s counsel and to counsel to the original purchaser of this Warrant. If in the opinion of each such counsel the proposed transfer may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or state securities laws), the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify the Holder of such opinion, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant or to dispose of Warrant Shares received upon the previous exercise of this Warrant, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company; provided that an appropriate legend may be endorsed on this Warrant or the certificates for such Warrant Shares respecting restrictions upon transfer thereof necessary or advisable in the opinion of counsel to the Company and satisfactory to the Company to prevent further transfers which would be in violation of Section 5 or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and applicable state securities laws; and provided further that the Holder and prospective transferee or purchaser shall execute such documents and make such representations, warranties, and agreements as may be required solely to comply with the exemptions relied upon by the Company for the transfer or disposition of the Warrant or Warrant Shares.

 

(b)                                 If in the opinion of either of the counsel referred to in this Section 8, the proposed transfer or disposition of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares described in the written notice given pursuant to this Section 8 may not be effected without registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Holder, and the Holder will limit its activities in respect to such as, in the opinion of both such counsel, are permitted by law.

 

9.                                       Fractional Shares. Fractional shares shall not be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in any case where the Holder would, except for the provisions of this Section, be entitled under the terms hereof to receive a fractional share, the Company shall, upon the

 

5



 

exercise of this Warrant for the largest number of whole shares then called for, pay a sum in cash equal to the sum of (a) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of such fractional share over the proportional part of the Warrant Exercise Price represented by such fractional share, plus (b) the proportional part of the Warrant Exercise Price represented by such fractional share.

 

10.                                 Net Exercise.

 

(a)                                  In addition to and without limiting the rights of the Holder of this Warrant with respect to other terms of this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right (the Conversion Right) to convert this Warrant or any portion thereof into Warrant Shares as provided in this Section 10 at any time or from time to time prior to its expiration, subject to the restrictions set forth in paragraph (c) below. Upon exercise of the Conversion Right with respect to a particular number of shares subject to this Warrant (the Converted Warrant Shares), the Company shall deliver to the Holder of this Warrant, without payment by the Holder of any exercise price or any cash or other consideration, that number of Converted Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Net Value (as hereinafter defined) of the Converted Warrant Shares by the fair market value (as defined in paragraph (d) below) of a single Warrant Share, determined in each case as of the close of business on the Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined). The Net Value of the Converted Warrant Shares shall be determined by subtracting the aggregate warrant purchase price of the Converted Warrant Shares from the aggregate fair market value of the Converted Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10 to the contrary, the Conversion Right cannot be exercised with respect to a number of Converted Warrant Shares having a Net Value below $100. No fractional shares shall be issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Right, and if the number of shares to be issued in accordance with the foregoing formula is other than a whole number, the Company shall pay to the Holder of this Warrant an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the resulting fractional share.

 

(b)                                 The Conversion Right may be exercised by the Holder of this Warrant by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with a notice in the form attached hereto, specifying that the Holder thereby intends to exercise the Conversion Right and indicating the number of shares subject to this Warrant which are being surrendered (referred to in paragraph (a) above as the Converted Warrant Shares) in exercise of the Conversion Right. Such conversion shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant together with the aforesaid written statement, or on such later date as is specified therein (the Conversion Date), but not later than the expiration date of this Warrant. Certificates for the Converted Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Right, together with a check in payment of any fractional share and, in the case of a partial exercise, a new warrant evidencing the shares remaining subject to this Warrant, shall be issued as of the Conversion Date and shall be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant within thirty (30) days following the Conversion Date.

 

(c)                                  In the event the Conversion Right would, at any time this Warrant remains outstanding, be deemed by the Company’s independent certified public accountants to give rise to a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes, then the Conversion

 

6



 

Right shall automatically terminate upon the Company’s written notice to the Holder of this Warrant of such adverse accounting treatment.

 

(d)                                 For purposes of this Section 10, the fair market value of a Warrant Share as of a particular date shall be its market price, calculated as of the Conversion Date, as follows:

 

(i)  if the capital stock into which the Warrants are exercisable is traded on an exchange or is quoted on the Nasdaq Gobal Market, then the average closing or last sale prices, respectively, reported for the ten (10) business days immediately preceding the Conversion Date, or

 

(ii)  if the capital stock into which the Warrants are exercisable is not traded on an exchange or on the Nasdaq Global Market but is traded on Nasdaq Capital Market or other over-the-counter market, then the average closing bid and asked prices reported for the ten (10) business days immediately preceding the Conversion Date, or

 

(iii)  if the capital stock into which the Warrants are exercisable is not traded on             an exchange or other over-the counter market, then the price per share established by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

11.                                 No Registration Rights. The Holder of this Warrant shall have no registration rights with respect to the Warrant Shares.

 

12.                                 Miscellaneous. Whenever reference is made herein to the issue or sale of shares of Common Stock, the term “Common Stock” shall include any stock of any class of the Company other than preferred stock with a fixed limit on dividends and a fixed amount payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

 

The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution or sale of assets, or by any other voluntary act or deed, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the covenants, stipulations or conditions to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will, at all times in good faith, assist, insofar as it is able, in the carrying out of all provisions hereof and in the taking of all other action which may be necessary in order to protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution.

 

The representations, warranties and agreements herein contained shall survive the exercise of this Warrant. References to the “holder of” include the immediate holder of shares purchased on the exercise of this Warrant, and the word “holder” shall include the plural thereof. This Common Stock Purchase Warrant shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of Minnesota.

 

7



 

All shares of Common Stock or other securities issued upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the Company will pay all taxes due and payable by the issuer in respect of the issuance thereof.

 

Neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
