Forbearance Agreement and Incremental Amendment to Financing Agreement

 

EVO Transportation & Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) previously filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on September 20, 2019, reporting, among other things, the Company’s entry into a $24.5 million Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) dated September 16, 2019 among the Company, each subsidiary of the Company, various lenders from time to time party thereto, and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Collateral Agent”). On February 27, 2020, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Incremental Amendment to Financing Agreement (the “Incremental Amendment”), pursuant to which the Company obtained an additional $3,214,285.71 term loan commitments (the “Incremental Term Loans”) from Antara Capital Master Fund LP (“Antara Capital”) on the same terms as its existing term loan commitments provided under the Financing Agreement.

 

The Incremental Term Loans bear interest at 12% per annum and have a maturity date of September 16, 2022. Monthly interest payments will be due in cash, and all outstanding principal and interest will be due on the maturity date. The Incremental Term Loans may be prepaid at any time, subject to payment of a prepayment premium equal to (i) 7% of each prepayment made on or prior to September 16, 2020 and (ii) 5% of each prepayment made after September 16, 2020 but on or prior to September 16, 2021, with no premium due after September 16, 2021.

 

The Incremental Amendment requires the Company and its subsidiaries, during the period commencing February 27, 2020 and ending on or before March 31, 2020, to receive additional cash equity contributions in the aggregate amount of $6,000,000 in immediately available funds in consideration of issuance to the persons providing such cash equity of capital stock of the Company on terms and documentation acceptable to the lenders holding more than 50.0% of the outstanding term loans and unused term loan commitments under the Financing Agreement (the “Liquidity Milestone”).

 

Pursuant to the Incremental Amendment, the Collateral Agent and other lenders agreed to forbear from exercising certain rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and defenses under the Financing Agreement and the other related loan documents during the forbearance period with respect to the following events of default and/or expected or anticipated events of default arising under the Financing Agreement (the “Specified Defaults”): (a) the failure and expected failure during the forbearance period of the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with the financial covenants contained in Section 6.8 of the Financing Agreement; (b) the failure to timely take title to and reflect the lien in favor of the Collateral Agent on certain vehicles as required by Schedule 5.15 of the Financing Agreement; and (c) the occurrence and continuance prior to February 27, 2020 of any default or event of default under the Financing Agreement, other than a default or event of default arising under Section 2.13(a) (asset sale proceeds), Section 2.13(d) (debt issuance proceeds), Section 4.34 (materially false information), Section 6.1 (debt), Section 6.2 (liens), Section 6.5 (Restricted Junior Payments with respect to clauses (a), (b) or (c) of such definition) or Section 6.9 (in respect of dispositions of assets) in each case of the Financing Agreement. The Incremental Amendment also suspends the accrual of interest at the post-default rate provided for in Section 2.9 of the Financing Agreement until the end of the forbearance period. The forbearance period will terminate on the earliest to occur of (a) September 30, 2020, (b) the occurrence of any event of default other than the Specified Defaults, or (c) the date on which any breach of any of the conditions or agreements, including without limitation the Liquidity Milestone, provided in the Incremental Amendment occurs.

 

The Company paid a 2% financing fee in connection with its entry into the Incremental Amendment. The Company also reimbursed the Collateral Agent for $125,000 of fees, costs, and expenses previously accrued under the Financing Agreement and in addition paid fees, costs, and expenses of the Collateral Agent and the lenders newly incurred in connection with the Incremental Amendment.

Antara Capital Warrant

 

In connection with the Incremental Amendment, on February 27, 2020, the Company issued a warrant (the “Antara Warrant”) to Antara Capital to purchase 3,650,000 shares (the “Antara Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment for certain distributions, stock splits, and issuances of Common Stock. The Antara Warrant is exercisable for ten years from the date of issuance. If the fair market value (as defined in the Antara Warrant) of the Antara Warrant Shares is greater than $2.50 at the end of the exercise period, then the Antara Warrant will be deemed to be exercised automatically and immediately prior to the end of the exercise period. Pursuant to the Antara Warrant, the Company granted Antara Capital preemptive rights to purchase its pro rata share, determined based on the number of shares held by Antara Capital or into which warrants held by Antara Capital (including the Antara Warrant) are exercisable, of capital stock issued by the Company after the issuance date of the Antara Warrants, subject to certain excepted issuances.

 

The Antara Warrant and Antara Warrant Shares were offered and sold as part of a private placement solely to “accredited investors” as that term is defined under Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company did not pay any underwriter discounts or commissions in connection with the issuance of the Antara Warrant.

 

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the Antara Warrant is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Antara Warrant, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Sales of Common Stock

 

On February 27, 2020, the Company sold a total of 1,260,000 shares of its Common Stock to two accredited investors for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,150,000 pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement. The Company did not pay any underwriter discounts or commissions in connection with the sale of the shares. The shares of Common Stock sold have the right to convert in to securities which bear the same terms as those offered to satisfy the Liquidity Milestone set forth above under the caption “Forbearance Agreement and Incremental Amendment to Financing Agreement.”

 

The shares were offered and sold as part of a private placement solely to “accredited investors” as that term is defined under Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the subscription agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of subscription agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Each Incremental Term Lender hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower having the same terms as the Term Loans on the Effective Date in the amount of its Incremental Term Loan Commitment. The Incremental Term Loans shall be subject in all respects to the terms of the Financing Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Incremental Term Loans shall (i) be evidenced by the Financing Agreement as provided in Section 2.6 thereof, (ii) bear interest at the rate, and such interest on the Incremental Term Loan shall be payable, as provided in Section 2.7 of the Financing Agreement, provided that during the Forbearance Period, Section 2.9 shall not apply to the Incremental Term Loans, (iii) mature and be payable together with all other Term Loans on the Term Loan Maturity Date as provided in Sections 2.1(a) 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 8 of the Financing Agreement, in each case together with any Prepayment Premium provided for in the Financing Agreement, (iv) be secured by all of the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents, (v) together with interest thereon and all other obligations incurred by Borrower in connection therewith, constitute Obligations under the Financing Agreement, (vi) constitute and be treated as Term Loans for all purposes under the Financing Agreement, including without limitation, Sections 2.14 and 2.16 therein.

Except for the Specified Defaults, no other Defaults or Events of Default have occurred and are continuing as of the date hereof, or to the best of its knowledge are expected to occur. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the agreements of the Agent and the Lender hereunder to forbear in the exercise of their respective rights, remedies, powers, privileges and defenses under the Loan Documents in respect of the Specified Defaults during the Forbearance Period do not in any manner whatsoever limit any right of any of the Agent and the Lenders to insist upon strict compliance with this Agreement or any Loan Document during the Forbearance Period.

 

(b) Nothing has occurred that constitutes or otherwise can be construed or interpreted as a waiver of, or otherwise to limit in any respect, any rights, remedies, powers, privileges and defenses any of the Lenders or the Agent have or may have arising as the result of any Event of Default (including any Specified Default) that has occurred or that may occur under the Financing Agreement, the other Loan Documents or applicable law. The Agent’s and the Lender’s actions in entering into this Agreement are without prejudice to the rights of any of the Agent and the Lenders to pursue any and all remedies under the Loan Documents pursuant to applicable law or in equity available to each of them in each such Person’s sole discretion upon the termination (whether upon expiration thereof, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the Forbearance Period.

 

(c) The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans as of February 26, 2020 (the “Balance Date”) (including loans made on the Closing Date and interest paid in kind pursuant to Section 2.7(b) of the Financing Agreement) was equal to $25,376,908.87 and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (excluding interest paid “in kind”) as of the Balance Date was equal to $219,933.21. The foregoing amounts do not include interest from the Balance Date through the Term Loan Maturity Date and the fees, expenses and other amounts that are chargeable or otherwise reimbursable under the Loan Documents.

 

5

 

 

(d) All of the assets pledged, assigned, conveyed, mortgaged, hypothecated or transferred to the Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents are (and shall continue to be) subject to valid and enforceable liens and security interests of the Agent, as collateral security for all of the Obligations, subject to no Liens other than Liens permitted by the Financing Agreement. Each Loan Party hereby reaffirms and ratifies its prior conveyance to the Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents of a continuing security interest in and Lien on the Collateral.

 

(e) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement of any nature whatsoever, whether now existing or hereafter arising, constitute “Obligations” for all purposes of the Loan Documents and the term “Obligations” when used in any Loan Document shall include all such obligations hereunder.

 

(f) All interest accruing and/or payable during the Forbearance Period shall be paid in immediately available United States Dollars on the date when due pursuant to the Financing Agreement.

 

(g) Each member of the Lender has acted reasonably, in good faith, and in compliance with applicable law in connection with the negotiation and enforcement of the Financing Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and this Agreement.

 

(h) As of the Effective Date, no Restricted Junior Payments of the type described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of such definition have occurred, been requested, noticed, demanded or otherwise triggered, nor are otherwise due, owing and unpaid.

 

3.02. Limited Forbearance. Subject (a) to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 below and (b) to the continuing effectiveness and enforceability of the Loan Documents in accordance with their terms, the Agent and the Lenders agree to forbear in the exercise of their respective rights, remedies, powers, privileges and defenses under the Loan Documents solely in respect of the Specified Defaults for the period (the “Forbearance Period”) commencing on the Effective Date and ending automatically and without further action or notice on the Forbearance Termination Date; provided that (i) except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each Loan Party shall comply with all agreements, limitations, restrictions, terms, covenants and prohibitions that would otherwise be effective or applicable under the Loan Documents, and (ii) that nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by the Agent or any Lender of any Specified Default. Required Lenders hereby further agree to suspend until the Forbearance Termination Date the accrual of interest at the post-default rate provided for in Section 2.9 of the Financing Agreement, such that interest paid timely in cash at the Fixed Rate on each Interest Payment Date occurring on or before the Forbearance Termination Date shall constitute payment of all interest due on each such Interest Payment Date. For avoidance of doubt, Section 2.9 of the Financing Agreement shall be automatically reinstated into full force and effect commencing on the first calendar day after the Forbearance Termination Date.

3.03. Termination of Forbearance Period. Upon the occurrence of the Forbearance Termination Date, the agreement of the Agent and the Lender to comply with any of their obligations hereunder, including the agreement to forbear, shall automatically and without any further action or notice terminate and be of no force and effect; it being expressly agreed that the effect of the termination of the Forbearance Period will be to permit the Agent and the Lenders to exercise, or cause the exercise of, any rights, remedies, powers, privileges and defenses available to any of them under the Financing Agreement, the other Loan Documents or applicable law, immediately, without any further notice, demand, passage of time, presentment, protest or forbearance of any kind (all of which each Loan Party waives). Covenants of the Loan Parties under this Agreement that do not expressly provide that they terminate on the Forbearance Termination Date shall remain in full force and effect following the Forbearance Termination Date, and this Agreement shall continue to constitute a Loan Document for all purposes following the Forbearance Termination Date.

 

Section 4. Covenants.

If at any time the Common Stock is not listed on a domestic securities exchange or quoted on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority OTC Bulletin Board electronic inter-dealer quotation system, the OTC Markets Group Inc. electronic inter-dealer quotation system or similar quotation system or association, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall be the fair market value determined jointly in good faith by the Board and the Holder; provided, that if the Board and the Holder are unable to agree on the Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed five (5) days from the Company’s receipt of the Exercise Form), Fair Market Value shall be determined by a nationally recognized investment banking, accounting or valuation firm jointly selected by the Holder and the Company and engaged by the Company. The determination of such firm shall be final and conclusive, and the fees and expenses of such valuation firm shall be borne by the Company. The investment bank so engaged shall determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock assuming an orderly sale transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller, using valuation techniques then prevailing in the securities industry without regard to the lack of liquidity of the Common Stock due to any restrictions (contractual or otherwise) applicable thereto or any discount for minority interests and assuming full disclosure of all relevant information and a reasonable period of time for effectuating such sale and assuming the sale of all of the issued and outstanding Common Stock (including fractional interests) calculated on a fully diluted basis (except those securities, rights and warrants (a) owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (b) convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock where the conversion, exchange or exercise price per share is greater than the Fair Market Value). All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

4. Exercise of Warrant.

 

(a) Exercise Procedure. This Warrant may be exercised from time to time on any Business Day during the Exercise Period, for all or any part of the unexercised Warrant Shares, upon:

 

(i) surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction), together with an Exercise Form in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Exercise Form”), duly completed (including specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased) and executed; and

 

(ii) payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 4(b).

 

(b) Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder as expressed in the Exercise Form, by the following methods:

 

(i) by delivery to the Company of a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price;

 

(ii) by instructing the Company to withhold a number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the Exercise Date equal to such Aggregate Exercise Price (a “Cashless Exercise”); or

 

(iii) any combination of the foregoing.

 

In the event of any withholding of Warrant Shares or surrender of other equity securities pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above where the number of shares whose value is equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price is not a whole number, the number of shares withheld by or surrendered to the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) based on the incremental fraction of a share being so withheld by or surrendered to the Company in an amount equal to the product of (x) such incremental fraction of a share being so withheld or surrendered multiplied by (y) in the case of Common Stock, the Fair Market Value per Warrant Share as of the Exercise Date, and, in all other cases, the value thereof as of the Exercise Date determined in accordance with clause (iii)(y) above.

 

(c) Issuance of Warrant Shares. Upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof), the Company at its expense shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, cause to be issued via book-entry in the name of the Holder or as the Holder may direct, the number of shares of Warrant Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 4(d) hereof. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued via book-entry, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

 

5

 

 

(d) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional Warrant Share upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to the product of (i) such fraction multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share on the Exercise Date.

 

(e) Delivery of New Warrant. Unless the purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with Section 4(c) hereof, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.

 

(f) Valid Issuance of Warrant and Warrant Shares; Payment of Taxes. With respect to the exercise of this Warrant, the Company hereby represents, covenants and agrees:

 

(i) This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.

 

(ii) All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be, upon issuance, and the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that such Warrant Shares are, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all taxes, liens and charges.

 

(iii) The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Warrant Shares are issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares may be listed at the time of such exercise (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).

 

(iv) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Warrant Shares, immediately upon such exercise, to be listed on any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares are listed at the time of such exercise.

 

(v) The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

6

 

 

(g) Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

 

(h) Exercise Upon a Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Holder may elect, by giving notice to the Company within fifteen (15) days of such Change of Control, to receive in exchange for its Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets (the “Sale Consideration”) which the Holder would have received with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants if the Holder had exercised such Warrants on a cashless basis immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control, with such number of shares of Common Stock which would have been so issuable to be determined by (i) subtracting B from A, (ii) dividing the result by A, and (iii) multiplying the quotient by C as set forth in the following equation:

 

X= (A - B) x C

A

 

where:

 

X = the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise pursuant to this paragraph 4(g).

 

A = the amount of Sale Consideration payable per share of Common Stock in connection with the Change of Control, (i) with such amount expressed in U.S. dollars and, if applicable, rounded to the nearest whole cent, and (ii) with any non-cash portion of such Sale Consideration valued at the value attributed thereto in the Change of Control.

 

B = the Exercise Price.

 

C = the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the applicable Warrants are exercisable (prior to payment of the Exercise Price).

 

7

 

 

(i) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the par value per Warrant Share shall at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Exercise Price. The Company shall not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

5. Adjustment to Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under this Warrant, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 5 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 5).

 

(a) Adjustment to Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except as provided in Section 5(c) and except in the case of an event described in either Section 5(e) or Section 5(f), if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, issue or sell, or in accordance with Section 5(d) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), then immediately upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to an Exercise Price equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

 

(i) the sum of (A) the product obtained by multiplying the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) by the Exercise Price then in effect plus (B) the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale); by

 

(ii) the sum of (A) the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) plus (B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold (or deemed issued or sold) by the Company in such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale).

 

(b) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Adjustment to Exercise Price. Upon any and each adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided in Section 5(a), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment shall be increased to a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

 

(i) the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such adjustment multiplied by (B) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment; by

 

(ii) (ii) the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

 

8

 

 

(c) Exceptions to Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to any Excluded Issuance.

 

(d) Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Exercise Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section 5(a) hereof, the following shall be applicable:

 

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Options, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 5(c)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price under Section 5(a)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 5(a)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of all such Options, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(c)(iii), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

 

9

 

 

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 5(d)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 5(a)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 5(a)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(c)(iii), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Exercise Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 5(c).

 

(iii) Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of any Options or Convertible Securities referred to in Section 5(d)(i) or Section 5(d)(ii) hereof, (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 5(d)(i) or Section 5(d)(ii) hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 5(d)(i) or Section 5(d)(ii) hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any Options referred to in Section 5(d)(i) hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 5(d)(ii) hereof (in each case, other than in connection with an Excluded Issuance), then (whether or not the original issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 5) the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5 had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment the Exercise Price then in effect is reduced, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment or readjustment shall be correspondingly adjusted or readjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 5(b).

 

(iv) Treatment of Expired or Terminated Options or Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or any unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) for which any adjustment (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made pursuant to this Section 5 (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of all or any portion of such Option or Convertible Security by the Company), the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5 to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof), to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

 

10

 

 

(v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in accordance with Section 5(c), any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company shall be the market price (as reflected on any securities exchange, quotation system or association or similar pricing system covering such security) for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the aggregate consideration received by the Company in such transaction as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued in such transaction; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined in good faith jointly by the Board and the Holder; provided, that if the Board and the Holder are unable to agree on the fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed five (5) days from the Holder’s receipt of a certificate of adjustment pursuant to Section 5(h)(i) relating to the applicable issuance), such fair value shall be determined by a nationally recognized investment banking, accounting or valuation firm jointly selected by the Board and the Holder. The determination of such firm shall be final and conclusive, and the fees and expenses of such valuation firm shall be borne by the Company.

 

(vi) Record Date. For purposes of any adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares in accordance with this Section 5, in case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

(vii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 5.

 

11

 

 

(viii) Other Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5(d), if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock), cash or other property, then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise of the Warrant, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares receivable thereupon, the kind and amount of securities of the Company, cash or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Exercise Date, retained such securities, cash or other property receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the Holder; provided, that no such provision shall be made if the Holder receives, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities, cash or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities, cash or other property as the Holder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event.

 

(e) Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 5(e) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

12

 

 

(f) Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. To the extent the Holder does not exercise its applicable rights under Section 4(h) hereof, if there is a (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) Change of Control or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 5(d)), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Warrant shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of this Section 5 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing Person is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the Exercise Price to the value per share for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction). The provisions of this Section 5(e) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions. The Company shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 5(e), the Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the exercise rights contained in Section 2 instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 5(e) with respect to this Warrant.

 

(g) Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 5 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 5; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 5(g) shall increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 5.

 

13

 

 

(h) Certificate as to Adjustment.

 

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

 

(ii) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

 

(i) Notices. In the event:

 

(i) that the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

 

(ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person; or

 

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

 

then, and in each such case, the Company shall send or cause to be sent to the Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares.

 

6. Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any shares of Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder would have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder shall not be entitled to the Purchase Rights granted herein with respect to any Excluded Issuance.

 

14

 

 

7. Preemptive Rights.

 

(a) Preemptive Right on New Securities. From and after the date hereof until the earlier of the expiration of the Exercise Period, the Company will not issue or sell any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, except in an Excluded Issuance, without first complying with this Section 7. The Company hereby grants to the Holder the preemptive right to purchase its pro rata share of any New Securities that the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell or issue. A Holder’s “pro rata share” for purposes of this Section 7 is the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder or into which the Holder’s outstanding Warrants are exercisable, in each case, as of the date the Company delivers the notice to the Holder contemplated by Section 7(b) divided by the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding as of the date the Company delivers the notice to the Holder contemplated by Section 7(b).

 

(b) Notice to Holder. Except in connection with an Excluded Issuance, if the Company proposes to issue or sell Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then it will give the Holder written notice of its intention, describing the type of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities and the price and terms upon which the Company proposes to issue or sell the Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities. The Holder will have fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such notice to agree to purchase up to its pro rata share of the Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice from the Company described above by giving written notice to the Company stating the quantity of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities agreed to be purchased.

 

(c) Alternate Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board determines in good faith that compliance with the time period described in Section 7(b) would not be in the best interests of the Company, then, in lieu of offering any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities to the Holder at the time such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are otherwise being issued or sold to the Holder, the Company may comply with the provisions of this Section 7 by making an offer to sell to the Holder its pro rata share of such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (calculated before giving effect to the issuance of such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities) promptly, and in no event later than thirty days, after such issuance or sale is consummated; provided, that the Company may not consummate a Change of Control prior to complying with this section.

 

15

 

 

8. Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder without charge to the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices with a properly completed and duly executed Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, together with funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes described in Section 4(f)(v) in connection with the making of such transfer. Upon such compliance, surrender and delivery and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant, if any, not so assigned and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

 

9. Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder; Limitations on Liability. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including Section 5(c)(viii)), prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares to which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 9, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

 

10. Replacement on Loss; Division and Combination.

 

(a) Replacement of Warrant on Loss. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and upon delivery of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that a written indemnification agreement or affidavit of loss of the Holder shall be a sufficient indemnity) and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for cancellation to the Company, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu hereof, a new Warrant of like tenor and exercisable for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed; provided, that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

 

(b) Division and Combination of Warrant. 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 the respective Holders or their 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 the 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 the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice.

 

16

 

 

11. No Impairment.

12. Compliance with the Securities Act.

In furtherance thereof, the undersigned represents and warrants to the Company and its affiliates as follows:

(f) The undersigned represents, warrants and agrees that he, she or it will not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the undersigned must bear the economic risk of his, her or its purchase because, among other reasons, the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available.

The Company will bear all expenses and fees incurred in connection with the preparation, filing, and amendment of the registration statement with the SEC, except that the Subscriber shall pay all fees, disbursements and expenses of any counsel or expert retained by the Subscriber and all underwriting discounts and commissions, filing fees and any transfer or other taxes relating to the Shares included in the registration statement.
