Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Grantor shall: (i) following an Event of Default, use commercially reasonable efforts to mark conspicuously each document and agreement included in such Grantor’s Collateral and, at the request of the Secured Parties, each of its records pertaining to the Collateral with a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Parties, indicating that such Collateral is subject to the security interest granted hereby; (ii) if any Account Receivable shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument or chattel paper, deliver, subject to the rights of Silicon, such promissory note or other instrument or chattel paper to the Secured Parties duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Parties; and (iii) authenticate (if necessary) and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments, notices or other records, as may be necessary, or as the Secured Parties may request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.

(a)           Keep its equipment and inventory (other than its inventory sold in the ordinary course of business) at the places therefor specified in Schedule I hereto or, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Secured Parties, at such other places in jurisdictions where all action required by Section 9 hereof shall have been taken with respect to its equipment and inventory;

(e)           Protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of the Intellectual Property, use its reasonable best efforts to detect infringements of the Intellectual Property, promptly advise the Secured Parties in writing of material infringements detected, and not allow any Intellectual Property to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without the written consent of the Secured Parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such Grantor determines that reasonable business practices suggest that abandonment is appropriate; and

 

(f)            Advise the Secured Parties of all its trademarks, patents and copyrights, or applications for or registration of the same, created or obtained by such Grantor on or after the date of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 11.   Covenants as to Accounts Receivable.

In connection with such collections, such Grantor may take such action as such Grantor may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of its Accounts Receivable; provided, however, that, subject to the rights of Silicon, the Secured Parties shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the account debtors or obligors under any of such Grantor’s Accounts Receivable of the assignment of such Accounts Receivable to the Secured Parties and to direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Secured Parties and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Accounts Receivable, and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done. As long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the rights of Silicon, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of its Accounts Receivable shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Secured Parties in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied to the Secured Obligations or, if they cannot be so applied under applicable law, held as cash collateral, as determined by the Secured Parties, and (ii) such Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any of its Account Receivable, or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon, other than any discount allowed for prompt payment.

SECTION 12.   Covenants as to Insurance.  (a)   Each policy for liability and property damage insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid on behalf of the Secured Parties, Silicon, Phoenix and the Grantors, as their respective interests may appear. Each such policy shall, in addition: (i) name the Secured Parties as insured party thereunder (without any representation or warranty by or obligation upon the Secured Parties) as their interests may appear; and (ii) provide that at least 30 days’ prior written notice of amendment to or lapse and at least 30 days’ prior written notice of cancellation shall be given to the Secured Parties by the insurer. Each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each policy to contain the agreement by the insurer that any loss thereunder shall be payable to the Secured Parties whose rights with respect to any loss thereunder shall be unaffected by any action, inaction or breach of representation and warranty by such Grantor. Each Grantor shall, if so requested by the Secured Parties, deliver to the Secured Parties original or duplicate policies of such insurance and, as often as the Secured Parties may request, a report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to such insurance. Further, each Grantor shall, at the request of the Secured Parties, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such insurance policies to comply with the requirements of Section 8 and cause the respective insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.

 

(b)           Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by a Grantor pursuant to this Section may be paid directly to the person who shall have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In case of any loss involving damage to a Grantor’s equipment or inventory when subsection (c) of this Section is not applicable, such Grantor shall make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to or replacements of such equipment or inventory, and any proceeds of insurance maintained by such Grantor pursuant to this Section shall be paid to such Grantor as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or replacements.

 

(c)           Subject to the rights of Silicon, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, all insurance payments in respect of such equipment or inventory shall be paid to the Secured Parties and applied to payment of the amounts due under the Secured Obligations.

 

SECTION 13.   Attorney-in-Fact.  Each of the Grantors hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Parties as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Secured Parties or otherwise, to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, take any action and to execute any instrument which the Secured Parties may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, subject to the rights of Silicon, including, without limitation:

 

(a)           to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Secured Parties pursuant to Section 12 hereof;

 

(b)           to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

 

(c)           to receive, endorse, assign, and collect any and all checks, notes, drafts and other negotiable and non-negotiable instruments, documents and chattel paper, in connection with

 

14



 

clause (a) or (b) above, and each Grantor waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument, document or chattel paper so endorsed or assigned;

 

(d)           to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Secured Parties may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Secured Parties with respect to any of the Collateral;

 

(e)           to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the Collateral or the proceeds or avails thereof, as full and effectually as if the Secured Parties were the absolute owner thereof;

 

(f)            to perform or cause the performance of any obligation of the Grantors hereunder;

 

(g)           to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to each of the Grantors and to notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as the Secured Parties may designate; and

 

(h)           to transmit to customers indebted on accounts notice of the Secured Parties’ interest therein and to notify customers indebted on accounts to make payment directly to the Secured Parties for the Grantors’ account.

 

Each of the Grantors hereby ratifies and approves all acts (other than those which result from the Secured Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct) of the Secured Parties, as its attorney in-fact, pursuant to this Section, and the Secured Parties, as its attorney in-fact, shall not be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law (other than those which result from the Secured Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct). This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as this Agreement remains in effect. Each of the Grantors also authorizes the Secured Parties, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to communicate in its own name with any party to any contract, agreement or instrument included in the Collateral with regard to the assignment of such contract, agreement or instrument and other matters relating thereto.

 

SECTION 14.   Secured Parties’ Duties.   The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in their possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by them hereunder, the Secured Parties shall not have any duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

 

SECTION 15.   Remedies.   Subject to the rights of Silicon, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and not have been waived by the Secured Parties or cured to the satisfaction of the Secured Parties:

 

(a)           The Secured Parties have the right to take the actions described in the proviso of Section 11(b) and in Section 13 hereof.

 

(b)           The Secured Parties may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of

 

15



 

a secured party available to such secured party upon debtor’s default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may (i) require the Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon the request of the Secured Parties forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Secured Parties and make it available to the Secured Parties at a place to be designated by the Secured Parties which is reasonably convenient to the Secured Parties and the Grantors, (ii) to the extent permitted by law, enter the premises where any of the Collateral is located and take and carry away the same, by any of their representatives, with or without legal process, to Secured Parties’ place of storage, and (iii) without notice (except as specified in the next sentence), sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Secured Parties’ offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery and upon such other terms as the Secured Parties may deem commercially reasonable. Each of the Grantors agrees that, to the extent notice of disposition is required by law, notice to the Grantors of at least ten (10) business days prior to the earliest time of disposition set forth in such notice shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured Parties shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Parties may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place it was so adjourned.

 

(c)           All cash proceeds received by the Secured Parties in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, to the extent required by applicable law, be held by the Secured Parties as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent hereunder) to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Secured Parties and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations to the Secured Parties shall be paid over to the Grantors. If the proceeds of the sale of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all of the Secured Obligations, each of the Grantors agrees to pay upon demand any deficiency to the Secured Parties.

 

(d)           The Secured Parties may use (and is hereby granted a license to use), in connection with any assembly, preparation for disposition or disposition of the Collateral, any of the trademarks, copyrights, patents, technical processes, trade names, service marks or trade styles and other Intellectual Property used by the Grantors, without payment or additional compensation therefor.

 

(e)           Each of the Grantors recognize that the Secured Parties may be unable to effect a public sale of all or part of the Collateral consisting of the investment property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or in applicable Delaware or other states’ securities laws as now or hereafter in effect, unless registration or qualification, as the case may be, is accomplished. To the extent permitted by law, each of the Grantors acknowledges that the Secured Parties may resort to one or more private sales to a single purchaser or a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such investment property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. To the extent permitted by law, each of the Grantors agrees that private sales may be at prices and other terms less favorable to the Grantors than if such investment property were sold at a public sale and that the Secured Parties shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any such portion of the Collateral for the period of time necessary

 

16



 

to permit the issuer of such investment property to register or qualify such investment property, even if such issuer would, or should, proceed to register or qualify such investment property for public sale. Each of the Grantors agrees that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a “commercially reasonable” manner.

 

SECTION 16.   Indemnification and Expenses.  (a)  Without limiting any of the Grantors’ obligations under Section 3 hereof, each of the Grantors hereby agrees to indemnify and defend the Secured Parties (including, for the purposes of this Section, their agents, consultants and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”)), from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities that are finally determined to result from an Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(b)           Each of the Grantors shall, upon demand, pay to the Secured Parties the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the fees and out-of-pocket expenses or disbursements of their counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Secured Parties may incur in connection with (i) the negotiation or preparation of, or any closing under, and the perfection of (including any filing or recording fees) any and all Liens contemplated by, this Agreement, any amendments and modifications thereto, and terminations thereof, and any other related documents, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, and (iii) the interpretation, performance or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Parties. Without limiting in any manner the generality of the foregoing, each of the Grantors shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Secured Parties upon failure by the Grantors to perform or observe any of the provisions of this Agreement or upon demand in connection with the bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding involving a Grantor, in each case, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Secured Parties and of any consultants or expert witnesses retained by the Secured Parties, with respect to any aspect of the Secured Obligations or otherwise relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Secured Parties shall not be liable to the Grantors for damages as a result of delays, temporary withdrawals of the equipment from service or other causes other than those caused by the Secured Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(c)           This provisions of this Section shall survive satisfaction of the Secured Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 17.   Certain Waivers.   Each of the Grantors hereby waives, to the extent the same may be waived under applicable laws: (a) notice of acceptance of this Agreement; (b) all claims, causes of action and rights of such Grantor against the Secured Parties on account of actions taken or not taken by the Secured Parties in the exercise of the Secured Parties’ rights or remedies hereunder or under applicable laws (unless such claims, causes of action and/or rights arose from the gross negligence, fraud or willful default on the part of the Secured Parties); (c) all claims of such Grantor for failure of the Secured Parties to comply with any requirement of applicable laws relating to enforcement of the Secured Parties’ rights or remedies hereunder, the Transaction Documents, the agreements and documents relating hereto and thereto, or under applicable laws; (d) all rights of redemption of such Grantor with respect to the Collateral; (e) in the event the Secured Parties seek to repossess any or all

 

17



 

of the Collateral by judicial proceedings, any bond(s) or demand(s) for possession which otherwise may be necessary or required; (f) presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of non payment and all exemptions; (g) any and all other notices or demands which by applicable laws must be given to or made upon such Grantor by the Secured Parties; (h) settlement, compromise or release of the obligations of any person primarily or secondarily liable upon any of the Secured Obligations; and (i) substitution, impairment, exchange or release of any Collateral for any of the Secured Obligations.

 

SECTION 18.   Waivers and Amendments.  (a)  The provisions of this Agreement, and the rights of the Secured Parties in relation to the Collateral and the recovery of the Secured Obligations (whether arising under this Agreement or under the general law), shall not be capable of being waived, amended or varied otherwise than by an express waiver or amendment by the Secured Parties in writing, and then such waiver, amendment or variation shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Any failure by the Secured Parties to exercise, or any delay in exercising, any of their rights hereunder shall not operate as a waiver, amendment or variation of that or any other right. Any defective or partial exercise of any of such rights shall not preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other such right; and no act or course of conduct or negotiation on the part of the Secured Parties or on their behalf shall in any way preclude them from exercising any such right or constitute a suspension or any variation or amendment of any such right.

(b)           Each of the Grantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and such Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the Grantors agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Secured Parties may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against such Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

 

(c)           Each of the Grantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the Grantors hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

EACH OF THE GRANTORS REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS TO THE SECURED PARTIES THAT SUCH GRANTOR HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH SUCH COUNSEL.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective personal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.

Existing Commercial Tort Claims

 

Parent

 

On November 9, 2006, the Parent issued a Statement of Claim against Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. In the Statement of Claim, the Parent has alleged negligence against Deloitte with respect to the auditing services provided to us in connection with its audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles of the 2002, 2003 and 2004 audited financial statements. The Statement of Claim seeks damages in the amount of Cdn. $4,070,000 for direct and indirect losses. On December 22, 2006, Deloitte filed an answer to the Statement of Claim. On March 28, 2008, Deloitte filed an amended defense and counterclaim against the Parent, seeking indemnification for damages, costs and expenses (including legal fees and disbursements and personnel time) allegedly incurred by Deloitte in responding to regulatory inquiries, requests, reviews or investigations relating to, arising out of or associated with Deloitte’s review or audit engagements for or during the Parent’s fiscal years 2002, 2003 and 2004.

 

Borrower

 

In March 2008, Typhoon Touch Technologies, Inc. (“Typhoon”) and Nova Mobility Systems, Inc. (“Nova”) (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) filed Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint for Patent Infringement (the “Complaint”) against the Borrower and several other defendants including Dell, Inc., in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the “Court”). The Complaint alleges that the defendants manufacture, sell, offer for sale and/or import products that infringe on two U.S. patents owned by Typhoon and exclusively licensed to Nova. In April 2008, the Borrower filed its Answer, Defenses and Counterclaim in response to the Complaint, denying the allegations of infringement and requesting the Court to dismiss the Complaint and award judgment in favor of the Borrower, including recovery of the Borrower’s attorneys’ fees and costs. In May 2008, Plaintiffs filed Plaintiffs’ Reply to the Borrower’s Counterclaims in which Plaintiffs deny any allegation that any claim relating to the patents is invalid. The Court has not issued a scheduling order.

Payment may be made by (i) certified check payable to the Issuer’s order or (ii) wire transfer of funds to the Issuer.

 

(c)                                  Net Issue Election.  The Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, shares equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion, together with a duly executed notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, at the principal office of the Issuer.  Thereupon, the Issuer shall issue to the Holder such number of shares of Common Stock as is computed using the following formula:

(e)                                  Transferability of Warrant.  Subject to Section 2(f), this Warrant may be transferred by a Holder without the consent of the Issuer, subject to applicable law and the right of the Issuer to require that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph and subject to the provisions of subsection (f) of this Section 2, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto.

(f)                                    Compliance with Securities Laws.

 

(i)                                     The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant is being acquired by the Holder as principal and solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Warrant except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or an opinion of counsel in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration is not required under the Securities Act, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of all applicable securities laws.

 

(ii)                                  The Holder acknowledges and agrees that it will comply with all applicable stock exchange or quotation system rules and any applicable securities legislation, orders, rules or policy statements concerning the purchase of Warrant Shares. All certificates representing Warrant Shares issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

3.                                       Shares Fully Paid; Covenants; Loss of Warrants.

 

(a)                                  Shares Fully Paid.  The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof will, at the time of issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of

 

3



 

this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.

 

(b)                                 Covenants.  The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Articles of the Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (but only to the extent specifically provided in Section 4 hereof) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than such restrictions as are expressly set forth herein and subject to applicable securities laws) upon the exercise of this Warrant; and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

(c)                                  Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.

 

4.                                       Adjustment of Warrant Price.  The Warrant Price and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

 

(a)                                  Recapitalization; Reorganization; Reclassification; Consolidation; Merger or Sale.

 

(i)                                     In case the Issuer at any time prior to the Expiration Date shall do any of the following (each, a “Triggering Event”):  (A) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (B) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (C) transfer, sell or otherwise dispose all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive, and shall accept, at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the

 

4



 

shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments and increases (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4.

 

(ii)                                  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, the Issuer will not, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, effect any Triggering Event (other than a merger involving the Issuer and one or more of its wholly-owned subsidiaries), unless, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which as a result of such Triggering Event may be required to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such Securities, cash or property as in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a).

 

(b)                                 Subdivision or Consolidation of Common Stock.  If the Issuer, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, shall subdivide or consolidate the outstanding shares of Common Stock (A) in case of subdivision of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately reduced (as at the effective date of such subdivision) to reflect the increase in the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of such subdivision, or (B) in the case of a consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased (as at the effective date of such consolidation) to reflect the reduction in the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of such consolidation.

 

(c)                                  Certain Dividends and Distributions.  If the Issuer, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, shall:

 

(i)                                     Stock Dividends.  Pay a stock dividend in, or make any other distribution to its holders of Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, as at the date of such payment or other distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such payment or other distribution, by a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution (plus in the event that the Issuer paid cash for fractional shares, the number of additional shares which would have been outstanding had the Issuer issued fractional shares in connection with said dividends); or

 

(ii)                                  Other Dividends.  Pay a cash dividend on, or make any distribution of its assets upon or with respect to (including, but not limited to, a distribution of its property as a dividend in liquidation or partial liquidation or by way of return of capital), the Common Stock (other than as described in clause (i) of this subsection (c)), then on the record date for such payment or distribution, this Warrant shall represent a right to acquire upon exercise, in addition

 

5



 

to the number of Warrant Shares under this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such dividend or additional stock or other Securities or property of the Issuer to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such date if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto.

 

(d)         Adjustment of Warrant Price Upon Issuance of Additional Common Stock. If the Issuer, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, shall issue Additional Common Stock at a price per share, or with an exercise price or conversion price (as the case may be), lower than the Warrant Price in effect at such time, then the Warrant Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

WP2 = (WP1 * (A + B)) / (A + C)

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

 

(A)                            “WP2” shall mean the Warrant Price in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Common Stock;

 

(B)                              “WP1” shall mean the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Common Stock;

 

(C)                              “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities outstanding immediately prior to such issue);

 

(D)                             “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to WP1; and

 

(E)                               “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Common Stock issued in such transaction.

 

(e)                                  Outstanding Common Stock. With respect to the making of adjustments in the Warrant Price, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include any shares thereof then directly or indirectly owned or held by or for the account of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(f)                                    Other Action Affecting the Common Stock. In case the Issuer at any time prior to the Expiration Date shall take any action affecting its shares of Common Stock, other than an action described in any of the foregoing subsections (a) through (d) of this Section 4, inclusive, and the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principle of this Section 4, then, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board may in good faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances.

 

6



 

(g)                                 Form of Warrant after Adjustments.  The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

5.                                       Notice of Adjustments.  Whenever the Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, an “adjustment”), the Issuer shall deliver notice to the Holder of such adjustment and shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), the calculations made in connection therewith and the Warrant Price after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment. Any failure of the Chief Financial Officer to deliver such certificate shall not prejudice the rights of the Holder in connection with the applicable adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate shall be determined by the Issuer’s independent outside auditors or, if they are unable to act, by such firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the Board, and any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer, the Holder and the transfer agent for the Common Stock. The firm selected by the Issuer as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty days after submission to it of such dispute.  The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by such Holder and the Issuer.

 

6.                                       Fractional Shares.  No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of the applicable fraction multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then in effect.

 

7.                                       Rules Regarding Calculation of Adjustment of Warrant Price.

 

(a)                                  No adjustment in the Warrant Price will be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the prevailing Warrant Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which, except for the provisions of this subsection would otherwise have been required to be made, will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

 

(b)                                 If the Issuer sets a record date to determine the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or distribution or sets a record date to take any other action and thereafter and before the distribution to such shareholders of any such dividend or distribution or the taking of any other action, legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution or take such other action, then no adjustment in the Warrant Price shall be made.
