(i)          by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price;

Pursuant to Section 5 hereof the Company shall maintain the Warrant Register which will, among other things, record the number of Warrant Shares issued and purchased, the date of such issuances and purchases and the number of Warrant Shares withheld in connection with Cashless Exercises. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this Section 3(f), following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be fewer than the amount stated on the face hereof.

Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Holder such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.

For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Initial Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such aggregate number is being made, but shall exclude Warrant Shares (if any) that do not have ordinary voting rights or that would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Initial Holder and its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other Equity Interests of the Company beneficially owned by the Initial Holder and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible shares or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein.

Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant as to any transfer or other assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, this Warrant may be divided or, following any such division of this Warrant, subsequently combined with other Warrants, upon the surrender of this Warrant or Warrants to the Company at its then principal executive offices, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by each applicable Holder or its agents or attorneys. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant as to any transfer or assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall at its own expense execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for this Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice. Such new Warrant or Warrants shall be of like tenor to the surrendered Warrant or Warrants and shall be exercisable in the aggregate for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as this Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice.

 

Section 9.             Disputes; No Impairment, etc. The parties hereto agree as follows:

 

   12  

 

 

(a)         Disputes. In the event of any dispute which arises between the Holder and the Company (including the Board of the Company) with respect to the calculation or determination of Fair Market Value, VWAP, the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares, other Equity Interests, cash or other property issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the amount or type of consideration due to the Holder in connection with any event, transaction or other matter described in Section 4 above or any other matter involving this Warrant or the Warrant Shares that is not resolved by the parties after good faith discussions and efforts to reach resolution, upon the request of the Holder the disputed issue(s) shall be submitted to a firm of independent investment bankers or public accountants of recognized national standing, which (i) shall be chosen by the Company and be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and (ii) shall be completely independent of the Company (an “Independent Advisor”), for determination, and such determination by the Independent Advisor shall be binding upon the Company and the Holder with respect to this Warrant, any Equity Interests or other amounts or property issued in connection herewith or the matter in dispute, as the case may be, absent manifest error. Costs and expenses of the Independent Advisor shall be shared 50/50 by the Company and the Holder.

 

(b)         Equitable Equivalent. In case any event shall occur as to which the provisions of Section 9(a) above are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would not, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of the Holder, fairly protect the rights and benefits of the Holder represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of Section 9(a), then, in any such case, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall submit the matter and issues raised by the Holder to an Independent Advisor, which shall give its opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in Section 9(a), to the extent necessary to preserve, without dilution, the rights and benefits represented by this Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder and shall make the adjustments described therein, if any. Costs and expenses of the Independent Advisor shall be shared 50/50 by the Company and the Holder.

 

(c)          No Avoidance. The Company shall not, by way of amendment of any of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (in each case, as may be amended and/or amended and restated from time to time) or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action or transaction, 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 action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment as if the Holder was a shareholder of the Company entitled to the benefit of fiduciary duties afforded to shareholders under Delaware law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prohibit the Company from amending its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws with the requisite consent of its Board of Directors and stockholders, as applicable, and the Company shall not have been deemed to have impaired Holder’s rights hereunder, if it amends its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, if the holders of the Company’s capital stock consent to such amendment or waive their rights thereunder so long as such amendment or waiver does not disproportionately and adversely affect the Warrant Shares as compared to the affect of such amendment or waiver on the other Equity Interests of the same series and class of stock as the Warrant Shares (without taking into account the particular circumstances of any holder of such series and class of stock).

 

   13  

 

 

Section 10.          Compliance with the Securities Act.

 

(a)          Agreement to Comply with the Securities Act, etc.

 

(i)          Legend. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 10 and the restrictive legend requirements set forth on the face of this Warrant and further agrees that it shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act. Subject to clause (ii) below, this Warrant and all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

“THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE OR FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SHARES IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IS QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW OR (II) THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW AND, IN EACH CASE, IF THE COMPANY REQUESTS, AN OPINION SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT HAS BEEN RENDERED BY COUNSEL.”

 

(ii)         Removal of Restrictive Legends. Neither this Warrant nor any certificates evidencing Warrant Shares issuable or deliverable under or in connection with this Warrant shall contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in clause (i)) in any of the following circumstances: (A) following any sale of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares issued or delivered to the Holder under or in connection here with pursuant to Rule 144, (B) if this Warrant or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under clause (b)(1) of Rule 144, or (C) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of this Warrant or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, the Warrant or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, shall be issued free of all legends.

 

(iii)        Replacement Warrant. The Company agrees that at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions have been satisfied it shall promptly (but in any event within five (5)

 

   14  

 

 

Business Days) following written request from the Holder issue a replacement Warrant or replacement Warrant Shares, as the case may be, free of all restrictive legends.

 

(iv)        Sale of Unlegended Shares. The Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from this Warrant and any certificates representing securities as set forth in Section 10(a)(ii) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell this Warrant or any such securities pursuant to either an effective Registration Statement or otherwise pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

 

(b)          Representations of the Holder. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the Holder represents, as of the Issue Date, to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows:

 

(i)          The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

 

(ii)         The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such Laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

 

(iii)        The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic and financial risk of its investment for an indefinite period and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in this Warrant and the Warrant Shares. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.

 

Section 11.           Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (i) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (ii) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (iii) on the date sent by e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (iv) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.
