(b)    The Holder hereby represents and warrants as to itself and agrees with the Company that:

(i)    The Holder is acquiring and will acquire the Subject Securities for the Holder’s own account for investment and not with a view to any distribution thereof that might cause a violation of the Securities Act or any rules or regulations thereunder; provided, however, that subject to Section 6, the disposition of the Subject Securities shall be at all times within the sole discretion of the Holder. The Holder understands and acknowledges that the Company is not registering the Subject Securities under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and, as a result, the Subject Securities will be restricted securities that the Holder may be required to hold indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under such laws or an exemption from such registration is available to the Holder. In this connection, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, as promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

(ii)    The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions of the principal officers and representatives of the Company and to obtain any additional information necessary to permit an evaluation of the benefits and risks associated with the investment made hereby.

(iii)    The Holder has sufficient experience in business, financial and investment matters to evaluate the merits and risks involved in the investment made hereby and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time.

(iv)    The Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act.

Section 4.    Warrant Certificates.

(a)    The Warrant Certificates shall be in registered form only and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Each Warrant Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Company by a duly authorized representative of the Company.

(b)    In connection with each Warrant issued by the Company pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall deliver to the Holder, on the date hereof a Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrant Shares for the Holder, which shall be the Share Number.

Section 5.    Registration. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) in its principal office for the purpose of registering the Warrant and any transfer thereof, which register shall reflect and identify, at all times, the ownership of any interest in the Warrant. Upon the issuance of the Warrant, the Company shall record the name of the Holder in the Warrant Register as the first Holder. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of the Warrant as the absolute owner thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the Warrant Certificates made by anyone) for the purpose of any exercise thereof or any distribution to the Holder thereof, and for all other purposes. Upon surrender for registration of transfer or exchange of the Warrant together with a properly executed form of assignment attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Assignment Form”) at the principal office of the Company, the Company shall, at its expense, execute and deliver one or more new Warrant Certificates of like tenor that shall be exercisable for a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares, registered in the name of the Holder or a transferee or transferees.

 

5


Section 6.    Transfers; Registration of Transfers.

(a)    Without in any way limiting the representations of Section 3(b) and subject to the terms and conditions contained in Section 16 (Assignment), the Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Subject Securities except in compliance with the Transaction Agreement and unless and until:

(i)    the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound in the same manner as the Holder by the provisions of this Agreement;

(ii)    (A) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement or (B) there is an exemption from registration under the Securities Act available; and

(iii)    the Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and, if requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Securities Act.

Section 7.    Exercise of Warrant.

(a)    Exercise. The Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the Expiration Date, by surrendering to the Company at its principal office the corresponding Warrant Certificate, with a purchase form substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, duly filled in and signed (the “Election to Purchase Shares”) and accompanied by payment, if applicable, of an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price and the number of Shares specified in such form (the “Total Exercise Price”).

(b)    Issuance of Warrant Shares; Payment of Total Exercise Price. Effective as of the Exercise Date, the Company shall issue to the Holder and upon such issuance the Holder shall own, beneficially and of record, the Share Number of Shares, as specified in the Election to Purchase Shares, and the exercising Holder shall, subject to the Holder’s execution of a joinder to the Operating Agreement pursuant to Section 2.2 thereof, be admitted as a Member of the Company and have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities with respect to ownership of the Shares. In the event that the Shares are evidenced by certificates, the Company shall, without charge, issue, register and deliver to the Holder one or more certificates representing the aggregate number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled as specified in the Election to Purchase Shares. If the Warrant Shares are restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144), such certificate shall bear a legend stating that the Shares represented are restricted securities. The Holder shall pay the Total Exercise Price, if applicable, in United States currency by cash by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company.

 

6


(c)    In lieu of exercising the Warrant by paying the Total Exercise Price to the Company, the Holder shall have the right (the “Cashless Exercise Option”), but not the obligation, at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Date, by electing on the Election to Purchase Shares, pursuant to which the fair market value of a Share in excess of the exercise price in respect of such Share may be used in lieu of cash to buy such Shares in accordance with the formula set forth on the Election to Purchase Shares.

(d)    Partial Exercise. If the Holder shall have exercised the Warrant Certificate in part, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder and upon surrender of the Warrant Certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Certificate, deliver to the Holder a new warrant certificate evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by the Warrant Certificate, which new warrant certificate shall in all other respects be identical with the Warrant Certificate.

(e)    When Exercise Effective. The exercise of the Warrant Certificate shall be deemed to have been effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which the Warrant Certificate is surrendered to and the Total Exercise Price is received by the Company, if applicable, as provided in this Section 7 (the “Exercise Date”) and the Person indicated as the Holder in the Election to Purchase Shares and in whose name a certificate for Warrant Shares (to the extent that the Shares are certificated) shall be issuable upon such exercise, as provided in Section 7(b) or Section 7(e), shall be deemed to be the record holder of such Warrant Shares for all purposes on the Exercise Date.

Section 8.    Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issue or delivery of Warrant Shares to the Holder, unless such tax or charge is imposed by law upon the Holder, in which case such taxes or charges shall be paid by the Holder. The Company shall not be required, however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue of any certificate for Warrant Shares in any name other than that of the Holder or any income or capital gains tax relating to disposition of the Warrant or Warrant Shares.

Section 9.    Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. On receipt by the Company of an affidavit of an authorized representative of the Holder stating the circumstances of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Warrant Certificate (and in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of the Warrant Certificate), the Company at its expense will promptly execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new warrant certificate of like tenor which shall be exercisable for a like number of Warrant Shares; provided that, if requested by the Company, the Holder must provide an indemnity bond or other indemnity sufficient in the judgment of the Company to protect the Company from any loss which it may suffer if a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate is replaced.

Section 10.    No Registration under the Securities Act; Legend.

(a)    None of the Subject Securities has been registered under the Securities Act. In agreeing to issue the Warrant, the Company has relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

7


(b)    Each Warrant Certificate shall bear the legend appearing on the first page of the form of Warrant Certificate attached as Exhibit A hereto (and no other restrictive legend).

Section 11.    Changes in Shares. If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Shares by way of split, distribution, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof, as may be required, so that the rights and privileges granted by this Warrant Agreement shall continue with respect to the Shares as so changed.

Section 12.    Adjustment of Total Exercise Price and Share Number. The Total Exercise Price and the Share Number with respect to the Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time upon the occurrence of the following events:

(a)    Distribution, Subdivision, Combination or Reclassification of Shares. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, (i) make a distribution to holders of Shares of additional Shares or of Other Securities, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Shares, (iii) combine the outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares, or (iv) issue any Other Securities by reclassification of the Shares (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing entity), then in each such case, the Total Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, and the number of Shares and kind of Other Securities issuable on such date shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder, if exercising the Warrant after such date, shall be entitled to receive, upon payment of the same aggregate amount as would have been payable before such date, the aggregate number of Shares and kind of Other Securities which, if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such date, the Holder would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification. Any such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date of such distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

(b)    Certain Distributions. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, fix a record date for the distribution to all holders of Shares (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of indebtedness, assets or other property (other than distributions payable in Shares for which adjustment is made under Section 12(a)) or Equity Equivalents, then, upon exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or other property or Equity Equivalents so to be distributed applicable to the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant in such amount as the Holder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such date.

(c)    Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger and Sale of Assets. In furtherance and not in limitation of the provisions of Section 11, if there occurs any capital reorganization or any reclassification of Shares, the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (other than a merger or consolidation of the Company in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or

 

8


change of outstanding Shares) or the sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another Person, then the Holder will thereafter be entitled to receive, upon the exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the same kind and amounts of securities (including shares of stock or Shares) or other assets, or both, which were issuable or distributable to the holders of outstanding Shares upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, in respect of that number of Warrant Shares if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance; and, in any such case, appropriate adjustments (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made to assure that the provisions hereof (including provisions with respect to changes in, and other adjustments of, the Total Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be practicable, in relation to any securities or other assets thereafter deliverable upon exercise of the Warrant.

Section 13.    Fractional Warrants and Fractional Warrant Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Shares upon any exercise of the Warrant or to execute or deliver Warrant Certificates that evidence fractional Shares. In lieu of fractional Shares, the Company may make payment to the Holder, at the time of exercise of the Warrant as herein provided, of an amount in cash equal to the value such fraction in U.S. dollars.

Section 14.    No Membership Rights. Prior to exercise of the Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a Member, including the right to vote, approve or consent, receive dividends or other distributions on any Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant, exercise preemptive rights or be notified of Member meetings, and, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Holder shall not be entitled to any notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company.

Section 15.    Notices to Holder. In case:

(a)    of a Capital Transaction or of the conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, or of a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Shares;

(b)    of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or

(c)    the Company proposes to take any other action that would require an adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant;

then the Company shall cause notice to be given to the Holder at its address appearing on the Warrant Register, at least 30 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date specified.

Section 16.    Assignment. Subject to the Holder’s compliance with Section 6, the Holder may not assign, sell, transfer or otherwise convey, in whole or in part, the Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or the Warrant to any third party, without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that the Holder may, subject to compliance with Section 6, sell, transfer or otherwise convey, in whole or in part, the Holder’s rights and

 

9


obligations under this Agreement or the Warrant to an affiliate of the Holder without the Company’s prior consent but with prior written notice to the Company. Any assignment or attempted assignment in violation of the terms of this Section 16 shall be null and void and of no legal effect.

Section 17.    Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the Warrant Certificates may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company and the Holder.

Section 18.    Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the exercise of the Warrant in whole or part, until the Expiration Date and, in event of such exercise the term “Holder” shall refer to the holder of any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise hereunder; provided, however, that in the case of any sale of Subject Securities pursuant to a Public Offering or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, such Subject Securities will no longer have the benefits of this Agreement.

Section 19.    Notices. All notices, demands and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be by registered or certified first-class mail, return receipt requested, courier service or personal delivery:

Section 24.    Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
