ARTICLE II

FORM OF WARRANT; BENEFICIAL INTERESTS

 

SECTION 2.01. Issuance and Registration.

 

(a) Warrants. The Warrants shall initially be issued to the Warrant Agent on behalf of the registered holders of the Common Stock as of the Dividend Record Date. The Warrant Agent shall allocate the Warrants to, and register the Warrants in the names of, such registered holders in accordance with the Company’s direct registration system or the Warrant Agent’s other book-entry procedures (“Book-Entry System”) pursuant to an allocation schedule approved by the Company (“Book-Entry Warrants,” which shall include “Depository Book-Entry Warrants” and “Depository Book-Entry Warrants” as defined below). If Warrants are eligible to be held at the Depository, the Warrant Agent shall register the Warrants allocated to the Depository’s position in the Common Stock in the name of the Depository, or its designated nominee, in accordance with the Company’s Book-Entry System pursuant to an allocation based upon the total of the Participants’ Depository positions in the Common Stock as of the Record Date, which allocation shall be subject to the approval of the Company (“Depository Book-Entry Warrant”). If Warrants are not eligible to be held at the Depository, or the Depository ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Warrants, the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent to register Warrants in the name of each Participant in accordance with the Company’s Book-Entry System pursuant to an allocation schedule based upon each Participants’ Depository position in the Common Stock as of the Record Date, which allocation shall be subject to the approval of the Company (“Participant Book-Entry Warrant”). Any Warrants registered through the Company’s Book-Entry System shall not be represented by Warrant Certificates.

 

(b) Global Warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Warrants are eligible to be held by the Depository, some or all of the Warrants may, at initial issuance or any time, thereafter, be represented by one or more Global Warrants, in definitive, fully registered form with the global securities legend set forth in Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Global Warrant”). Any such Global Warrant shall be deposited on behalf of the relevant Holders with the Warrant Agent, as custodian for the Depositary (or with such other custodian as the Depositary may direct), registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee designated by the Depositary, and duly executed by the Company and countersigned by the Warrant Agent as hereinafter provided.

 

    Page 4 of 18

 

 

(c) Procedures for Global Warrants. This Section 2.01(c) shall apply only to any Global Warrant deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary.

 

(i) If any Warrants are to be represented by a Global Warrant, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall, in accordance with Section 2.02, countersign and deliver initially one or more Global Warrants that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary, or its designated nominee and (b) shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Depositary or, pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions, be held by the Warrant Agent as custodian for the Depositary.

 

(ii) Participants shall have no rights under this Agreement with respect to any Global Warrant held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Warrant Agent as the custodian of the Depositary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Warrant Agent or any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary, or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Warrant.

 

(d) Definitive Warrants. Holders of Warrants or holders of beneficial interests in any Global Warrant will not be entitled to physical delivery of Definitive Warrants (except as provided in Section 2.05).

 

(e) No Fractional Warrants. The Company shall not issue fractional Warrants or distribute Warrant Certificates which evidence fractional Warrants. If any fractional Warrant would otherwise be required to be issued or distributed pursuant to the Dividend or otherwise, the relevant Holder will receive from the Warrant Agent, on behalf of the Company, a number of Warrants that shall be rounded up (if the number is .5 or above) or down (if the number is less than .5) to the nearest whole number.

 

(f) Direct Registration Requests by Beneficial Owners. Holders of beneficial interests represented by any Participant Book-Entry Warrant, Depository Book-Entry Warrant or Global Warrant shall have the right to move their beneficial interest to direct registration in the Company’s Book-Entry System by making such request to the applicable Participant or Depository (“Direct Registration Requests”). Holders making Direct Registration Requests shall be responsible for paying fees and costs, if any, in connection with such requests. When Direct Registration Requests are made, the applicable Participant or Depository shall promptly notify the Warrant Agent of such request and provide the Warrant Agent with such documentation as may be required to properly document the Direct Registration Request. Upon receipt of notice of any such Direct Registration Requests and the required documentation for such requests, the Warrant Agent shall (i) update the applicable book-entries so as to properly reflect the Holder of such beneficial interest the is the subject of the Direct Registration Requests as a registered Holder of their respective Warrants and (ii) debit the applicable Participant’s or Depository’s book-entry position in

 

SECTION 2.02. Warrant Certificates. If any Warrant Certificates are issued hereunder, then at least one Officer shall sign such Warrant Certificates for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

 

(a) If an Officer whose signature is on a Warrant Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Warrant Agent countersigns the Warrant Certificate, the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate shall be valid nevertheless.

(b) At any time and from time to time after the execution of this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company, countersign, either by manual or facsimile signature, and issue a Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants specified in such order. Such order shall specify the number of Warrants to be evidenced on the Warrant Certificate to be countersigned, the date on which such Warrant Certificate is to be countersigned, whether such Warrant Certificate is to be a Global Warrant or a Definitive Warrant, and the number of Warrants then authorized. Each Warrant shall be dated the date of its countersignature.

 

    Page 5 of 18

 

 

(c) The Warrants (whether or not evidenced by a Warrant Certificate) shall not be valid until registered on the Warrant Register.

 

SECTION 2.03. Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall keep a register (the “Warrant Register”) of the Warrants (and Warrant Certificates, if applicable) and of their transfer and exchange. The Warrant Register shall show the names and addresses of the respective Holders and the date and number of Warrants owned by such Holders. The Holder of any Global Warrant will be the Depositary, or a nominee designated by the Depository, in whose name the Global Warrant is registered.

 

The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name Warrants are registered in the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of such Warrants for all purposes and regardless of any notice to the contrary.

 

SECTION 2.04. Transfer.

 

(i) (a) Transfer of Warrants. The Warrants are non-transferable.

 

SECTION 2.05. Definitive Warrants.

 

(a) Subject to Section 2.05(f), beneficial interests in a Global Warrant deposited with the Depositary or with the Warrant Agent as custodian shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Warrants in a number equal to the number of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant, in exchange for such Global Warrant, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.04 and (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Warrant or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in each such case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, or (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Warrant Agent in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Warrants under this Agreement.

 

(b) Any Global Warrant that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Warrant Agent, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, by either manual or facsimile signature, and deliver to each beneficial owner in the name of such beneficial owner, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Warrant, Definitive Warrants evidencing a number of Warrants equivalent to such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest in the Global Warrant. The Warrant Agent shall register such transfer in the Warrant Register, and upon such transfer the surrendered Global Warrant shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent. Any such Definitive Warrants shall bear such restrictive legends as the Company may instruct.

 

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(b), the registered Holder of a Global Warrant may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Participants, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Agreement or the Warrants.

 

(d) In the event of the occurrence of either of the events specified in Section 2.05(a), the Company will promptly make available to the Warrant Agent a reasonable supply of Definitive Warrants in definitive, fully registered form.

 

(e) The Depositary, or its Participants, shall notify the Warrant Agent of the names and the amounts in which the Definitive Warrants will be issued. Definitive Warrants to be issued to beneficial owners who have elected to be treated as objecting beneficial owners (“OBOs”), shall be issued in the name of the applicable Participant, for the benefit of such OBO, in order to comply with such OBO’s requirements.

 

    Page 6 of 18

 

 

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of issuing a Definitive Warrant to any Person, the Warrant Agent may, upon the Company’s instruction, register Warrants in the name of such Person through the Company’s Book-Entry System; provided, however, that Warrants that are to be so registered to beneficial owners who are OBOs, shall be issued in the name of the applicable Participant, for the benefit of such OBO, in order to comply with such OBO’s requirements

 

SECTION 2.06. Replacement Certificates. If a mutilated Warrant Certificate is surrendered to the Warrant Agent or if the Holder of a Warrant Certificate provides proof reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent that the Warrant Certificate has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign a replacement Warrant Certificate representing an equivalent number of Warrants, if the reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent are met. Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Warrant Agent to protect the Company and the Warrant Agent from any loss that either of them may suffer if a Warrant Certificate is replaced. The Company and the Warrant Agent may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Warrant Certificate. Every replacement Warrant Certificate evidences an additional obligation of the Company.

 

SECTION 2.07. Outstanding Warrants. Warrants outstanding at any time are all Warrants evidenced as outstanding in the Warrant Register (which, in the case of Warrants represented by Warrant Certificates, shall include all Warrant Certificates authenticated by the Warrant Agent excluding those canceled by it and those delivered to it for cancellation). A Warrant does not cease to be outstanding because an Affiliate of the Company holds the Warrant. A Warrant ceases to be outstanding if the Company holds the Warrant.

 

If a Warrant Certificate is replaced pursuant to Section 2.06, the Warrants evidenced thereby cease to be outstanding unless the Warrant Agent and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Warrant Certificate is held by a protected purchaser (as defined for purposes of the Nevada Uniform Commercial Code).

 

SECTION 2.08. Cancellation. In the event the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Definitive Warrants, the Company may, at its option, deliver the same to the Warrant Agent for cancellation. The Warrant Agent and no one else shall cancel all Warrant Certificates surrendered for transfer, exchange, replacement, exercise or cancellation. The Company may not issue new Warrant Certificates to replace Warrant Certificates to the extent they evidence Warrants which have been exercised or Warrants which the Company has canceled.

 

SECTION 2.09. CUSIP Numbers.

 

The Company may assign “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use) in connection with the issuance of the Warrants and the Warrant Agent may use such “CUSIP” numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Warrant Certificates or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Warrant Certificates.

 

ARTICLE III

EXERCISE TERMS

 

SECTION 3.01. Exercise. Each Warrant shall entitle the Holder thereof, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, to purchase one share of Common Stock for each Warrant evidenced thereby, at an exercise price of $2.75 per share (as such exercise price may be adjusted pursuant to Article IV, the “Exercise Price”).

 

    Page 7 of 18

 

 

SECTION 3.02. Exercise Period.

 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Warrants shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time on or after the Issue Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders will be able to exercise the Warrants only if (i) the Company elects to file a Registration Statement relating to the Warrant Shares and the Registration Statement is effective, and the Warrant Shares are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under the applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions in which such Holders reside or (ii) in the opinion of counsel for the Company the exercise of the Warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the Warrant Shares are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under the applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions in which such Holders reside. The Company may instruct the Warrant Agent from time to time that Warrants held by a member of the Board of Directors, an Officer of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company are subject to further restrictions on exercise related to compliance with applicable securities laws, in which case the Warrant Agent shall not permit the exercise of such Warrants without the consent of the Company.

 

(b) No Warrant shall be exercisable after 5:00 P.M., New York time, on April 8, 2023 or, if such date is not a Business Day, the next Business Day immediately following such date (the “Expiration Date”).

 

SECTION 3.03. Expiration. A Warrant shall terminate and become void as of the earliest of (i) the Expiration Date and (ii) the date such Warrant is exercised.

 

SECTION 3.04. Manner of Exercise.

 

(a) Subject to Sections 3.02(b) and 3.03, Warrants may be exercised by a Holder in full or in part by delivering, not later than 5:00 P.M., New York time, on any Business Day (the “Exercise Date”) to the Warrant Agent at its office: (i) the related Warrant Certificate, in the case of Warrants issued in certificated form; (ii) an election to purchase Common Stock in the form included in Exhibit A, duly completed and signed by the Holder; and (iii) payment, for the account of the Company, of an amount equal to the product of (1) the Exercise Price and (2) the number of Warrants being exercised by such Holder. Such payment shall be made in United States dollars by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of funds to an account designated by the Company for such purpose. In the case of a Participant Book-Entry Warrant, Depository Book-Entry Warrant or a Global Warrant, any Person with a beneficial interest in such Warrants shall effect compliance with the requirements in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above through the relevant Participant in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. If any of the Warrant Certificate, the form of election to purchase Common Stock or the Exercise Price therefor is received by the Warrant Agent after 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the specified Exercise Date, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date. If the date specified as the Exercise Date is not a Business Day, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day. If the Warrants are received or deemed to be received after the Expiration Date, the exercise thereof will be null and void and any funds delivered to the Warrant Agent will be returned to the Holder as soon as practicable. In no event will interest accrue on funds deposited with the Warrant Agent in respect of an exercise or attempted exercise of Warrants.

 

(b) In the case of a Book-Entry Warrant, whenever some but not all of the Warrants represented by such Book-Entry Warrant are exercised in accordance with the terms thereof and of this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall adjust the entry for such Warrant in the Book-Entry System so that the number of Warrants represented thereby will be equal to the number of Warrants theretofore represented by such Book-Entry Warrant less the number of Warrants then exercised. If a Book-Entry Warrant is exercised in full, the Warrant Agent shall reflect such Warrant in the Book-Entry system as such and as cancelled.

(c) In the case of a Global Warrant, whenever some but not all of the Warrants represented by such Global Warrant are exercised in accordance with the terms thereof and of this Agreement, such Global Warrant shall be surrendered by the Holder to the Warrant Agent, which shall cause an adjustment to be made to such Global Warrant so that the number of Warrants represented thereby will be equal to the number of Warrants theretofore represented by such Global Warrant less the number of Warrants then exercised. The Warrant Agent shall thereafter promptly return such Global Warrant to the Holder or its nominee or custodian.

 

(d) In the case of a Definitive Warrant, whenever some but not all of the Warrants represented by such Definitive Warrant are exercised in accordance with the terms thereof and of this Agreement, the Holder shall be entitled, at the request of the Holder, to receive from the Company within a reasonable time, and in any event not exceeding five (5) Business Days, a new Definitive Warrant in substantially identical form for the number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants theretofore represented by such Definitive Warrant less the number of Warrants then exercised.

 

(e) If a Warrant Certificate shall have been exercised in full, the Warrant Agent shall promptly cancel such certificate following its receipt from the Holder or the Depositary, as applicable.

 

SECTION 3.05. Issuance of Warrant Shares. Subject to Section 3.02(a), upon any exercise of Warrants in compliance with this Agreement, the Company shall issue and cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “Stock Transfer Agent”, which may be the Warrant Agent) to cause to be registered in the Company’s direct registration system a number of full Warrant Shares so purchased upon the exercise of such Warrants (determined in accordance with Section 3.06) to which it is entitled, registered or otherwise, to the Holder or Holders entitled to receive the same or upon the written order of the Holder(s) in such name or names as the Holder(s) may designate (including any depositary institution so designated by a Holder).

 

SECTION 3.06. Fractional Warrant Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of Warrants. The number of full Warrant Shares that shall be issuable upon an exercise of Warrants by a Holder at any time shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased pursuant to the Warrants being exercised by that Holder at that time.

 

SECTION 3.07. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company shall at all times keep reserved out of its authorized shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Stock Transfer Agent and will furnish to such Stock Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments (and certificates related thereto) transmitted to each Holder.

 

The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon proper exercise of Warrants (including payment of the Exercise Price) shall, upon issue, be fully paid, nonassessable, free of preemptive rights.

 

ARTICLE IV

ADJUSTMENT AND NOTICE PROVISIONS

 

SECTION 4.01. Adjustments. Subject to the provisions of this Article IV, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant shall be subject to adjustment, without duplication, as follows:

 

(a) Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Company shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares then, in such event:

 

(i) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant on the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder after such date shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Warrant after such date had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date; and

 

    Page 9 of 18

 

 

(ii) the Exercise Price in effect on the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant before such adjustment and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to the adjustment by (y) the new number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to clause (a)(i).

 

(b) Certain Repurchases of Common Stock. In case the Company effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of Common Stock, then:

 

(i) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such Pro Rata Repurchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (x) the product of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Pro Rata Repurchase and (2) the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase, minus (y) the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, and of which the denominator shall be the product of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock so repurchased and (2) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase; and

 

(ii) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Warrant shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata Repurchase giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with clause (d)(i).

 

(c) Other Adjustments. In addition, the Company may, but shall not be required to, make such decreases in the Exercise Price, in addition to those required by this Section 4.01, as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable for any reason, including, without limitation, in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Common Stock or to any Holders of Warrants resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason.

 

  SECTION 4.02. Calculation of Adjustments; Timing of Issuance of Additional Warrant Shares Upon Certain Adjustments; Adjustment Rules.

 

(a) All calculations under Section 4.01 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share, as the case may be. Any provision of Section 4.01 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares into which a Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than $0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment that, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or 1/10th of a share of Common Stock, or more.

 

    Page 10 of 18

 

 

(b) In any case in which the provisions of Section 4.01 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the Holder of a Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company upon request shall deliver to such Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder’s right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

 

(c) Any adjustments pursuant to Section 4.01 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur. If an adjustment in Exercise Price made under Section 4.01 would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below the par value of the Common Stock, then such adjustment in the Exercise Price shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Common Stock.

 

SECTION 4.03. Business Combinations and Reorganizations. In case of any Business Combination or reclassification of Common Stock (other than a reclassification of Common Stock referred to in Section 4.01), the Holder’s right to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of a Warrant shall be converted into the right to exercise a Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) that the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such Business Combination or reclassification) upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Business Combination or reclassification (the amount of such shares, other securities or property in respect of a share of Common Stock being herein referred to as a “Unit of Reference Property”); and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be achievable, to the Holder’s right to exercise such Warrant in exchange for a Unit of Reference Property pursuant to this paragraph. If the Business Combination causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then the composition of the Unit of Reference Property into which the Warrants will be exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock per share of Common Stock.

 

SECTION 4.04. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever any adjustment is made pursuant to this Article IV, the Company shall cause notice of such adjustment to be delivered to the Warrant Agent within twenty days following the effective date of such adjustment, such notice to include in reasonable detail (i) the reason for the adjustment, (ii) the computation of any adjustments, and (iii) the Exercise Price, the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment. The calculations, adjustments and determinations included in the Company’s notice shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders. The Warrant Agent shall be entitled to rely on such notice and any adjustment therein contained and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any such adjustment unless and until it shall have received such notice. The Warrant Agent shall within fifteen days after receipt of such notice from the Company (which notice must specifically direct the Warrant Agent to perform the mailing) cause a similar notice to be delivered to each Holder.

 

SECTION 4.05. Adjustment to Warrant Certificate. The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment made pursuant to this Article IV, and Warrant Certificates issued after such adjustment may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants as are stated in any Warrant Certificates issued prior to such adjustment. The Company, however, may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate to give effect to such adjustments and that does not affect the substance of the Warrant Certificate, and any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed. For the avoidance of doubt, no change to the Warrant Certificate or this Agreement as a result of an adjustment pursuant to this Article IV shall require the consent of the Holders of the Warrants or the Warrant Agent.

ARTICLE V

REGISTRATION OF WARRANT SHARES

 

SECTION 5.01. Effectiveness of Registration Statement. The Company may, in its sole discretion, register the Warrant Shares. If the Company elects to register the Warrant Shares, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause an appropriate registration statement under the Securities Act, covering the issuance of Warrant Shares to the Holders upon exercise of the Warrants by the Holders thereof (the “Registration Statement”), to be filed and become and remain effective until the earlier of (i) such time as all Warrants have been exercised and (ii) the Expiration Date. The Company shall promptly inform the Warrant Agent of any change in the status of the effectiveness or availability of the Registration Statement.

 

SECTION 5.02. Suspension. The Company shall be entitled to suspend the availability of the Registration Statement from time to time during any consecutive 365-day period for a total not to exceed 45 days during such consecutive 365-day period if the Board of Directors determines in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that such suspension is necessary in order to comply with applicable laws and provides notice that such determination was made to the Holders of the Warrants; provided, however, that (i) if the Company exercises such right in the 45 consecutive-day period immediately prior to the Expiration Date, the Expiration Date shall be delayed by the number of days during such 45-day period for which the availability of the Registration Statement was suspended and (ii) in no event shall the Company be required to disclose the business purpose for such suspension if the Company determines in good faith that such business purpose must remain confidential.

 

SECTION 5.03. Blue Sky. To the extent the Company’s counsel deems it necessary or appropriate, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Warrant Shares under all applicable securities laws, blue sky laws or similar laws of all jurisdictions in the United States in which any Holder may or may be deemed to purchase Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such registration or qualification for so long as it is required to cause the Registration Statement to remain effective under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 5.01; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction in which it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 5.03 or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any such jurisdiction in which it is not then so subject.

 

SECTION 5.04. Expenses. Subject to Sections 2.04(c)(ii) and 7.09, all expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Article V relating to the issuance of the Warrant Shares will be borne by the Company, including without limitation: (i) all SEC, stock exchange or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority registration and filing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the compliance with state securities or blue sky laws, (iii) all expenses of any Persons incurred by or on behalf of the Company with the prior written consent of the Company in preparing or assisting in preparing, printing and distributing the Registration Statement or any other registration statement, prospectus, any amendments or supplements thereto and other documents relating to the performance of and compliance with this Article V, (iv) the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and (v) the fees and disbursements of the independent public accountants of the Company.

 

SECTION 5.05. Delivery of Documents to Holders. The Warrant Agent agrees that concurrently with the issuance of Warrants to any Holder and upon exercise of Warrants by any Holder, the Warrant Agent shall (unless otherwise instructed by the Company) deliver a prospectus relating to the Warrant Shares (a “Prospectus”) to such Holder, if the Warrants or Warrant Shares have been registered, or such other notice or communication regarding the Warrants or the Warrant Shares as the Company may instruct. The Company shall furnish to the Warrant Agent sufficient copies of such Prospectus or such other notice or communication to satisfy this obligation.

SECTION 6.02. Rights and Duties of Warrant Agent.

 

(a) Agent for the Company. In acting under this Warrant Agreement and in connection with the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent is acting solely as agent of the Company and does not assume any obligation or relationship or agency or trust for or with any of the holders of Warrant Certificates or beneficial owners of Warrants. All fees and expenses due the Warrant Agent shall be paid to the Warrant Agent by the Company. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty to determine which costs, if any, under this Agreement shall be borne by the Holders or by the Company.

 

(b) Counsel. The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it (who may be counsel to the Company), and the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

 

(c) Documents. The Warrant Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken by it in reliance upon any Warrant Certificate, notice, direction, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been presented or signed by the proper parties.

 

(d) No Implied Obligations. The Warrant Agent shall be obligated to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth herein and in the Warrant Certificates, and no implied duties or obligations of the Warrant Agent shall be read into this Agreement against the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action hereunder that may tend to involve it in any expense or liability for which it does not receive indemnity if such indemnity is reasonably requested. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or responsibility for the application by the Company of the proceeds of the Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by the Company in the performance of its covenants or agreements contained herein or in the case of the receipt of any written demand from a Holder with respect to such default, including any duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise.

 

(e) Not Responsible for Adjustments or Validity of Stock. The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist that may require an adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant or the Exercise Price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental agreement provided to be employed, in making the same. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value of any shares of Common Stock or of any securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of any Warrant or upon any adjustment pursuant to Article IV, and it makes no representation with respect thereto. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock upon the surrender of any Warrant Certificate for the purpose of exercise.

 

    Page 13 of 18

 

 

SECTION 6.03. Individual Rights of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or its Affiliates or become peculiarly interested in transactions in which the Company or its Affiliates may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or its Affiliates or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not the Warrant Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.

 

SECTION 6.04. Warrant Agent’s Disclaimer. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Agreement and it shall not be responsible for any statement in this Agreement other than its countersignature thereon.

 

SECTION 6.05. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company agrees that the Warrant Agent is entitled, from time to time, to reasonable compensation for its services as agreed and to reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Warrant Agent’s agents and counsel as agreed. The Company shall indemnify the Warrant Agent, its officers, directors, agents and counsel against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it without willful misconduct or gross negligence on its part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or performance of its duties under this Agreement (which willful misconduct or gross negligence must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Warrant Agent shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Warrant Agent through willful misconduct or gross negligence (which willful misconduct or gross negligence must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 6.06. Successor Warrant Agent.

 

(a) Company to Provide and Maintain Warrant Agent. The Company agrees for the benefit of the Holders that there shall at all times be a Warrant Agent hereunder (which may include the Company) until all the Warrants have been exercised or are no longer exercisable.

 

(b) Resignation and Removal. The Warrant Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice to the Company of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall not be less than 60 days after the date on which such notice is given unless the Company otherwise agrees in writing. The Warrant Agent hereunder may be removed at any time by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of the Company and specifying such removal and the date when it shall become effective, which date shall not be less than 60 days after such notice is given unless the Warrant Agent otherwise agrees in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any resignation or removal under this Section 6.06 shall take effect upon the appointment by the Company as hereinafter provided of a successor Warrant Agent and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor Warrant Agent.

 

(c) The Company to Appoint Successor. In the event that at any time the Warrant Agent shall resign, or shall be removed, or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or shall commence a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or under any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Warrant Agent or its property or affairs, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or shall take corporate action in furtherance of any such action, or a decree or order for relief by a court shall have been entered in respect of the Warrant Agent in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or a decree or order by a court shall have been entered for the appointment of a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Warrant Agent or of its property or affairs, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Warrant Agent or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation, winding up or liquidation, a successor Warrant Agent, qualified as aforesaid, shall be appointed by the Company by an instrument in writing, filed with the successor Warrant Agent. Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor Warrant Agent and acceptance by the successor Warrant Agent of such appointment, the Warrant Agent shall cease to be Warrant Agent hereunder.

 

    Page 14 of 18

 

 

(d) Successor to Expressly Assume Duties. Any successor Warrant Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Warrant Agent, without any further action, shall become vested with all the rights and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over, and such successor Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive, all securities, funds and other property on deposit with or held by such predecessor, as Warrant Agent hereunder.

 

(e) Successor by Merger. Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent hereunder may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation to which the Warrant Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets and business, shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the Parties.

 

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 7.02. Rights of Holders. Holders of unexercised Warrants, as such, have no rights as stockholders and are not entitled to exercise any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company, including, but not limited to the rights to (i) receive dividends or other distributions, (ii) receive notice of or vote at any meeting of the stockholders, (iii) consent to any action of the stockholders, (iv) receive notice of any other proceedings of the Company or (v) exercise any preemptive right.

 

SECTION 7.03. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Parties without the consent of any Holder for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective or inconsistent provision contained herein or for the purpose of adding or changing any other provisions including, but not limited to, additions or changes with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement or which relate to the Depository’s or Participants’ normal operating procedures; provided, however, that such amendment shall not adversely affect the rights of any of the Holders in any material respect. Any amendment or supplement to this Agreement that has a material adverse effect on the interests of any of the Holders may be made by the Parties but shall require the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Warrants. In determining whether the Holders of the required number of Warrants have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, only Warrants outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination, and Warrants known to the Warrant Agent to be owned by the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for such purpose. The Company or the Warrant Agent may set a record date for any such direction, waiver or consent and only the Holders as of such record date shall be entitled to make or give such direction, waiver or consent.
