NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS

 

Section 1.1                                      Definitions.  The terms defined in this Agreement, whenever used in herein, shall have the respective meanings indicated below for all purposes of this Agreement.  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

ARTICLE II
GRANT OF THE WARRANTS

 

Section 2.1                                      Grant of Warrants.  The Company hereby grants to the Investor (i) the 18-Month Warrant, providing for the purchase of up to 83,500 shares of Common Stock at $5.35 per share at any time prior to March 3, 2005, representing on the date of this Agreement approximately .85 percent of the outstanding Common Stock after exercise of the Warrant and issuance of the Common Stock as provided in the Purchase Agreement, and assuming issuance of all shares of Common Stock pursuant to any options, warrants, convertible securities, subscription rights or otherwise which are in existence or outstanding as of the date of this Agreement plus shares of Common Stock issuable upon the issuance and exercise of all unissued stock options available for grant under the Company’s Stock Option Plan, but not the exercise of the Three-Year Warrant; and (ii) the Three-Year Warrant, providing for the purchase of up to 350,000 shares of Common Stock at $7.29 per share at any time prior to September 3, 2006 (the “Expiration Date”), representing on the date of this Agreement approximately 3.57 percent of the

 



 

outstanding Common Stock after exercise of the Warrant and issuance of the Common Stock as provided in the Purchase Agreement, and assuming issuance of all shares of Common Stock pursuant to any options, warrants, convertible securities, subscription rights or otherwise which are in existence or outstanding as of the date of this Agreement plus shares of Common Stock issuable upon the issuance and exercise of all unissued stock options available for grant under the Company’s Stock Option Plan, but not the exercise of the 18-Month Warrant.  The shares of Common Stock deliverable to the Investor upon exercise of the Warrants are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Warrant Shares”.  The last day for exercise of each of the respective warrants is referred to herein as the “Expiration Date.”

 

Section 2.2                                      Forms of Warrant.  The Warrants will be in the form of Annex A and Annex B to this Agreement.  On the date hereof the Company shall deliver to the Investor a single certificate representing each of the Warrants registered in the name of the Investor, except that, if the Investor shall notify the Company in writing at any time following such issuance that it desires certificates representing the Warrant in other denominations or registered in the name or names of any nominee or nominees for its benefit, then subject to Section 2.3 certificates representing the Warrant shall be issued to the Investor in the denominations and registered in the name or names specified in such notice.

 

Section 2.3                                      Securities Act Compliance.  The Investor understands that the Company has not registered the Warrants or the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act and the Investor agrees that neither the Warrants nor the Warrant Shares shall be sold, transferred or offered for sale without registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an exemption therefrom.

 

Section 2.4                                      Investor Representations and Warranties.  The Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  The Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof (collectively, the “Securities”) are being acquired for investment for the Investor’s own account not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing same.

 

(a)                                  Disclosure of Information.  The Investor believes it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Securities.  The Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.

 

(b)                                 Investment Experience.  The Investor is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, 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 the Securities.  The Investor also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.  Such Investor acknowledges that any investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, and represents that it is able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment.

 



 

(c)                                  Accredited Investor.  The Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, as presently in effect; the Investor is a corporation not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000.

 

(d)                                 Restricted Securities.  The Investor understands that the Securities it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws 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 Act only in certain limited circumstances.  In this connection, the Investor represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.  THE INVESTOR UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES HEREIN THAT AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES INVOLVES AN EXTREMELY HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND MAY RESULT IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF ITS INVESTMENT.  The Investor understands that the Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and have not been and will not be registered or qualified in any state in which they are offered, and thus the Investor will not be able to resell or otherwise transfer the Securities unless they are registered under the Act and registered or qualified under applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.  The Investor has no immediate need for liquidity in connection with this investment and does not anticipate that the Investor will be required to the Securities in the foreseeable future.

 

(e)                                  Further limitations on Disposition.  Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Investor further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by this Section 2.4.

 

(f)                                    Legends.  The Securities shall bear legends substantially as shown in the Form of Warrant attached hereto.

 

(g)                                 No Reliance on Others.  The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm or corporation, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company.

(a)                                  cash (other than a cash dividend or distribution payable out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, that the aggregate of all such dividends paid or declared after the date hereof, does not exceed the consolidated net income of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, if any, earned subsequent to the date hereof determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles); or

 

(b)                                 any evidence of its indebtedness (other than Convertible Securities), any shares of its stock (other than Additional Shares of Common Stock) or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash and other than Convertible Securities or Additional Shares of Common Stock); or

 

(c)                                  any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness (other than Convertible Securities), any shares of its stock (other than Additional Shares of Common Stock) or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash and other than Convertible Securities or Additional Shares of Common Stock), then the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter comprising a Stock Unit shall be adjusted to that number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price at the date of taking such record, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be such Exercise Price per share minus the portion applicable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property, or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights, so distributable.  Such fair value shall be determined in good faith by the Board, provided that if such determination is objected to by the holders of Warrants entitled to purchase a majority of the Stock Units covered by all Warrants, such determination shall be made by an independent appraiser selected by the Board and not objected to by such holders.  A reclassification of the Common Stock into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4.3 and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4.2 hereof.

 

Section 4.4                                      Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.  In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall (except as hereinafter provided) issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Current Market Value, then the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter comprising a Stock Unit shall be adjusted to that number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the then current Exercise Price.  For purposes of this Section 4.4, the date as of which the Current Market

 



 

Value shall be computed shall be the earlier of (1) the date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock and (2) the date of actual issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.  This Section 4.4 shall not apply to any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is provided under Section 4.2 hereof. No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit shall be made under this Section 4.4 upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any Convertible Securities, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights or upon the issuance of such Convertible Securities (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof.

 

Section 4.5                                      Issuance of Warrants or Other Rights.  In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall otherwise issue, any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities and the consideration per share for which additional shares of Common Stock may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to such warrants or other rights or pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities shall be less than the Current Market Value, then the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter comprising a Stock Unit shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4.4 hereof on the basis that (i) the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such warrants or other rights or necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of (and, accordingly, the date as of which the Exercise Price shall be computed shall be) the computation date specified in the last sentence of this Section 4.5, and (ii) the aggregate consideration for such maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the minimum consideration received and receivable by the Company for the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock pursuant to such warrants or other rights or pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities.  For purposes of this Section 4.5, the computation date for clause (i) above shall be the earliest of (A) the date on which the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any such warrants or other rights, (B) the date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such warrants or other rights, and (C) the date of actual issuance of such warrants or other rights.

 

Section 4.6                                      Issuance of Convertible Securities.  In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall otherwise issue, any Convertible Securities and the consideration per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities shall be less than the Current Market Value, then the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter comprising a Stock Unit shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4.4 hereof on the basis that (i) the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the computation date specified in the penultimate sentence of this Section 4.6, and (ii) the aggregate consideration for such maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the minimum consideration received and receivable by the Company for the issuance of such

 



 

Additional Shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities.  For purposes of this Section 4.6, the computation date for clause (i) above shall be the earliest of (A) the date on which the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any such Convertible Securities, (B) the date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such Convertible Securities, and (C) the date of actual issuance of such Convertible Securities.  No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit shall be made under this Section 4.6 upon the issuance of any Convertible Securities which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof.

 

Section 4.7                                      Superseding Adjustment of Stock Unit.  If, at any time after any adjustment of the number of shares comprising a Stock Unit shall have been made pursuant to Sections 4.5 or 4.6 hereof on the basis of the issuance of warrants or other rights or the issuance of other Convertible Securities, or after any new adjustment of the number of shares comprising a Stock Unit shall have been made pursuant to this Section 4.7, (a) such warrants or rights or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Convertible Securities shall expire, and a portion of such warrants or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in respect of a portion of such other Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall not have been exercised and (b) the consideration per share, for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such warrants or rights or the terms of such other Convertible Securities, shall be increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event, such previous adjustment in the Warrants shall be rescinded and annulled and the Additional Shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation.  Thereupon, a recomputation shall be made of the effect of such rights or options or other Convertible Securities on the basis of treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of such warrants or rights or such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of such issuance as determined for purposes of such previous adjustment and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and treating any such warrants or rights or any such other Convertible Securities which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for such shares of Common Stock are issuable under such warrants or rights or other Convertible Securities, and, if and to the extent called for by the foregoing provisions of this Article IV on the basis aforesaid, a new adjustment of the number of shares comprising a Stock Unit shall be made, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.

 

Section 4.8                                      Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under this Article IV.  The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit hereinbefore provided for in this Article IV:

 

(a)                                  Treasury Stock.  The sale or other disposition of any issued shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company shall be deemed an issuance thereof for the consideration paid at the time of such sale or disposition.

 



 

(b)                                 Computation of Consideration.  To the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities or any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities shall be issued for a cash consideration, the consideration received by the Company therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by the Company therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are offered by the Company for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price, in any such case excluding any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without deduction of any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Company for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issue thereof.  To the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration at the time of such issuance as determined in good faith by the Board, provided that if such determination is reasonably objected to by the holders of Warrants entitled to purchase a majority of the Stock Units covered by all Warrants, such determination shall be made by an independent appraiser selected by the Board and not reasonably objected to by such holders.  The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received or receivable by the Company for issuing such warrant or other rights, plus the additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of such warrants or other rights.  The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Convertible Securities shall be the consideration received or receivable by the Company for issuing any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Convertible Securities, plus the consideration paid or payable to the Company in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Convertible Securities, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Convertible Securities.  In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities in payment or satisfaction of any dividend upon any class of stock other than Common Stock, the Company shall be deemed to have received for such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied.

 

(c)                                  When Adjustments to Be Made.  The adjustments required by the foregoing provisions of this Article IV shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that no adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit that would otherwise be required shall be made (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4.2 hereof) unless and until such adjustment, either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made, adds or subtracts at least $0.05 to the Exercise Price, as determined in good faith by the Board, provided that, in any event such adjustment shall be made if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts at least 1/20th of a share to or from the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to the making of such adjustment.  Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Article IV and not previously made,

 



 

would result in a minimum adjustment.  For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.

 

(d)                                 Fractional Interests.  In computing adjustments under this Article IV, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one-thousandth of a share.

 

Section 4.9                                      When Adjustment Not Required.  If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution thereof to stockholders, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

 

Section 4.10                                Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets.  In case the Company shall merge or consolidate into another corporation, or shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property, assets or business to another corporation and pursuant to the terms of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the holder of the Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, Stock Units each comprising the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation receivable upon or as a result of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to such event.  If, pursuant to the terms of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including without limitation warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in addition to common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, there shall be a reduction of the purchase price per Stock Unit equal to the amount applicable to the number of shares of Common Stock then comprising a Stock Unit of any such cash and of the fair value of any and all such shares of stock or of other securities or property to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company.  Such fair value shall be determined in good faith by the Board, provided that if such determination is reasonably objected to by the holders of Warrants entitled to purchase a majority of the Stock Units covered by all Warrants, such determination shall be made by an independent appraiser selected by such Board and not reasonably objected to by such holders.  In case of any such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor acquiring corporation shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all of the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modification as shall be necessary to provide for adjustments of Stock Units which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article IV.  For the purposes of this Article IVcommon stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such corporation of any class, which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption, and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event, and any warrants or

 



 

other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.10 shall similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations or dispositions of assets.

 

Section 4.11                                Adjustment of Exercise Price.  Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted as herein provided, the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant also shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit so purchasable immediately thereafter.

 

Section 4.12                                Other Action Affecting Common Stock.  In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take any action affecting its Common Stock, other than an action described in any of the foregoing Sections 4.2 through 4.10, inclusive, then, unless in the opinion of the Board such action will not have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the holders of the Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock or other stock comprising a Stock Unit, or the Current 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.

 

ARTICLE V

Section 5.1                                      Notice of Adjustment of Stock Unit or Exercise Price.  Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit, or the price at which a Stock Unit may be purchased upon exercise of their Warrants, shall be adjusted pursuant to Article IV hereof, the Company shall forthwith obtain a certificate signed by Chief Financial Officer or independent accountants of recognized national standing selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holders entitled to purchase the majority of the Stock Units covered by all Warrants, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including without limitation a statement of the Current Market Value when determined by the Board pursuant to Section 2.4(2), of any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights referred to in Sections 4.3, 4.8(b) or 4.11 hereof) and specifying the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit and (if such adjustment was made pursuant to Sections 4.10 or 4.11 hereof) describing the number and kind of any other shares of stock comprising a Stock Unit, and any change in the Exercise Price, after giving effect to such adjustment or change.  The Company shall promptly, and in any case within 45 days after the making of such adjustment, cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to each holder of a Warrant in accordance with Section 10.2 hereof.  The Company shall keep at its office or agency, maintained for the purpose pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours by any holder of a Warrant or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by a holder thereof.

 

Section 5.2                                      Notice of Certain Corporate Action.  In case the Company shall propose (a) to pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of its Common Stock or to

 



 

make any other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock,  or (b) to offer to the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe for or to purchase any Additional Shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, or (c) to effect any reclassification of its Common Stock (other than a reclassification involving only the subdivision, or combination, of outstanding shares of Common Stock), or (d) to effect any capital reorganization, or (e) to effect any consolidation, merger or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its property, assets or business, or (f) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, then, in each such case, the Company shall give to each holder of a Warrant, in accordance with Section 10.2 hereof, a notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the date on which a record is to be taken for the purposes of such stock dividend, distribution or rights, or the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, and shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock and the number and kind of any other shares of stock which will comprise a Stock Unit, and the purchase price or prices thereof, after giving effect to any adjustment which will be required as a result of such action.  Such notice shall be so given in the case of any action covered by clause (a) or (b) above at least 20 days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Common Stock for purposes of such action, and in the case of any other such action, at least 20 days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, whichever shall be the earlier.

 

Section 5.3                                      Notice of Expiration Date.  The Company shall give to each holder of a Warrant notice of the Expiration Date.  Such notice may be given by the Company not less than 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Expiration Date.

(a)                                  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of these Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants.  The Company shall not amend its charter in any respect relating to the Common Stock other than to increase or decrease the number of shares of authorized capital stock (subject to the provisions of the preceding sentence) or to decrease the par value of any shares of Common Stock.  All shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of any Warrant and payment in full of the Exercise Price, shall be duly and validly issued and fully-paid and nonassessable.

 

(b)                                 Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 



 

(c)                                  If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issue upon exercise of Warrants require registration with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Company shall in good faith and as expeditiously as possible and at its expense endeavor to cause such shares to be duly registered.

ARTICLE IV
ADJUSTMENT OF STOCK UNIT AND EXERCISE PRICE

 

Section 4.1                                      Adjustment Generally.  The number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit and the Exercise Price at which a share of Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall each be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Article IV.

 

Section 4.2                                      Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall (a) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock;  (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock; or (c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately after the happening of any such event shall be adjusted so as to consist of the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to the happening of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event.

 

Section 4.3                                      Certain Other Dividends and Distributions.  In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of

 



 

(a)                                  cash (other than a cash dividend or distribution payable out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, that the aggregate of all such dividends paid or declared after the date hereof, does not exceed the consolidated net income of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, if any, earned subsequent to the date hereof determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles); or

 

(b)                                 any evidence of its indebtedness (other than Convertible Securities), any shares of its stock (other than Additional Shares of Common Stock) or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash and other than Convertible Securities or Additional Shares of Common Stock); or

 

(c)                                  any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness (other than Convertible Securities), any shares of its stock (other than Additional Shares of Common Stock) or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash and other than Convertible Securities or Additional Shares of Common Stock), then the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter comprising a Stock Unit shall be adjusted to that number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price at the date of taking such record, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be such Exercise Price per share minus the portion applicable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property, or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights, so distributable.  Such fair value shall be determined in good faith by the Board, provided that if such determination is objected to by the holders of Warrants entitled to purchase a majority of the Stock Units covered by all Warrants, such determination shall be made by an independent appraiser selected by the Board and not objected to by such holders.  A reclassification of the Common Stock into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4.3 and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4.2 hereof.

 

Section 4.4                                      Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.  In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall (except as hereinafter provided) issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Current Market Value, then the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter comprising a Stock Unit shall be adjusted to that number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the then current Exercise Price.  For purposes of this Section 4.4, the date as of which the Current Market

 



 

Value shall be computed shall be the earlier of (1) the date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock and (2) the date of actual issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.  This Section 4.4 shall not apply to any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is provided under Section 4.2 hereof. No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit shall be made under this Section 4.4 upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any Convertible Securities, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights or upon the issuance of such Convertible Securities (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof.

 

Section 4.5                                      Issuance of Warrants or Other Rights.  In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall otherwise issue, any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities and the consideration per share for which additional shares of Common Stock may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to such warrants or other rights or pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities shall be less than the Current Market Value, then the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter comprising a Stock Unit shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4.4 hereof on the basis that (i) the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such warrants or other rights or necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of (and, accordingly, the date as of which the Exercise Price shall be computed shall be) the computation date specified in the last sentence of this Section 4.5, and (ii) the aggregate consideration for such maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the minimum consideration received and receivable by the Company for the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock pursuant to such warrants or other rights or pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities.  For purposes of this Section 4.5, the computation date for clause (i) above shall be the earliest of (A) the date on which the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any such warrants or other rights, (B) the date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such warrants or other rights, and (C) the date of actual issuance of such warrants or other rights.

 

Section 4.6                                      Issuance of Convertible Securities.  In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall otherwise issue, any Convertible Securities and the consideration per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities shall be less than the Current Market Value, then the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter comprising a Stock Unit shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4.4 hereof on the basis that (i) the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the computation date specified in the penultimate sentence of this Section 4.6, and (ii) the aggregate consideration for such maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the minimum consideration received and receivable by the Company for the issuance of such

 



 

Additional Shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities.  For purposes of this Section 4.6, the computation date for clause (i) above shall be the earliest of (A) the date on which the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any such Convertible Securities, (B) the date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such Convertible Securities, and (C) the date of actual issuance of such Convertible Securities.  No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit shall be made under this Section 4.6 upon the issuance of any Convertible Securities which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof.

 

Section 4.7                                      Superseding Adjustment of Stock Unit.  If, at any time after any adjustment of the number of shares comprising a Stock Unit shall have been made pursuant to Sections 4.5 or 4.6 hereof on the basis of the issuance of warrants or other rights or the issuance of other Convertible Securities, or after any new adjustment of the number of shares comprising a Stock Unit shall have been made pursuant to this Section 4.7, (a) such warrants or rights or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Convertible Securities shall expire, and a portion of such warrants or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in respect of a portion of such other Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall not have been exercised and (b) the consideration per share, for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such warrants or rights or the terms of such other Convertible Securities, shall be increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event, such previous adjustment in the Warrants shall be rescinded and annulled and the Additional Shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation.  Thereupon, a recomputation shall be made of the effect of such rights or options or other Convertible Securities on the basis of treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of such warrants or rights or such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of such issuance as determined for purposes of such previous adjustment and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and treating any such warrants or rights or any such other Convertible Securities which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for such shares of Common Stock are issuable under such warrants or rights or other Convertible Securities, and, if and to the extent called for by the foregoing provisions of this Article IV on the basis aforesaid, a new adjustment of the number of shares comprising a Stock Unit shall be made, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.

 

Section 4.8                                      Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under this Article IV.  The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit hereinbefore provided for in this Article IV:

 

(a)                                  Treasury Stock.  The sale or other disposition of any issued shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company shall be deemed an issuance thereof for the consideration paid at the time of such sale or disposition.

 



 

(b)                                 Computation of Consideration.  To the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities or any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities shall be issued for a cash consideration, the consideration received by the Company therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by the Company therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are offered by the Company for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price, in any such case excluding any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without deduction of any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Company for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issue thereof.  To the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration at the time of such issuance as determined in good faith by the Board, provided that if such determination is reasonably objected to by the holders of Warrants entitled to purchase a majority of the Stock Units covered by all Warrants, such determination shall be made by an independent appraiser selected by the Board and not reasonably objected to by such holders.  The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received or receivable by the Company for issuing such warrant or other rights, plus the additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of such warrants or other rights.  The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Convertible Securities shall be the consideration received or receivable by the Company for issuing any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Convertible Securities, plus the consideration paid or payable to the Company in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Convertible Securities, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Convertible Securities.  In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities in payment or satisfaction of any dividend upon any class of stock other than Common Stock, the Company shall be deemed to have received for such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied.

 

(c)                                  When Adjustments to Be Made.  The adjustments required by the foregoing provisions of this Article IV shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that no adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit that would otherwise be required shall be made (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4.2 hereof) unless and until such adjustment, either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made, adds or subtracts at least $0.05 to the Exercise Price, as determined in good faith by the Board, provided that, in any event such adjustment shall be made if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts at least 1/20th of a share to or from the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to the making of such adjustment.  Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Article IV and not previously made,

 



 

would result in a minimum adjustment.  For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.

 

(d)                                 Fractional Interests.  In computing adjustments under this Article IV, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one-thousandth of a share.

 

Section 4.9                                      When Adjustment Not Required.  If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution thereof to stockholders, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

 

Section 4.10                                Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets.  In case the Company shall merge or consolidate into another corporation, or shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property, assets or business to another corporation and pursuant to the terms of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the holder of the Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, Stock Units each comprising the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation receivable upon or as a result of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to such event.  If, pursuant to the terms of such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including without limitation warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in addition to common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, there shall be a reduction of the purchase price per Stock Unit equal to the amount applicable to the number of shares of Common Stock then comprising a Stock Unit of any such cash and of the fair value of any and all such shares of stock or of other securities or property to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company.  Such fair value shall be determined in good faith by the Board, provided that if such determination is reasonably objected to by the holders of Warrants entitled to purchase a majority of the Stock Units covered by all Warrants, such determination shall be made by an independent appraiser selected by such Board and not reasonably objected to by such holders.  In case of any such merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor acquiring corporation shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all of the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modification as shall be necessary to provide for adjustments of Stock Units which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article IV.  For the purposes of this Article IVcommon stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such corporation of any class, which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption, and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event, and any warrants or

 



 

other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.10 shall similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations or dispositions of assets.

 

Section 4.11                                Adjustment of Exercise Price.  Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted as herein provided, the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant also shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit so purchasable immediately thereafter.

 

Section 4.12                                Other Action Affecting Common Stock.  In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take any action affecting its Common Stock, other than an action described in any of the foregoing Sections 4.2 through 4.10, inclusive, then, unless in the opinion of the Board such action will not have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the holders of the Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock or other stock comprising a Stock Unit, or the Current 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.

(c)                                  If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issue upon exercise of Warrants require registration with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Company shall in good faith and as expeditiously as possible and at its expense endeavor to cause such shares to be duly registered.
