SERIES
1 COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Warrant
No.: Series 1 - _____
To
Purchase __________ Shares
of
Common Stock of
Global Diversified
Industries, Inc.
THIS SERIES 1 COMMON STOCK PURCHASE
WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies
that, for value received, __________ (the “Holder”), is
entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the
conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the
“Initial Exercise
Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the fifth (5th)
anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”)
but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Global Diversified
Industries, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to
__________ shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of
Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common
Stock”). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under
this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section
2(b).
Section
1. Definitions. Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in
that certain Securities Purchase Agreement of even date herewith(the “Purchase
Agreement”).
Section
2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of
Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the
Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the
Company of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise form annexed
hereto (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by
notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of such Holder
appearing on the books of the Company); and, within three (3) Trading Days of
the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall
have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby
purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States
bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder
shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until
the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the
Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender
this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of
the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the
Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of
a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have
the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares
purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such
purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of
Exercise within two (2) Trading Days of receipt of such notice. THE HOLDER AND ANY ASSIGNEE, BY
ACCEPTANCE OF THIS WARRANT, ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, BY REASON OF THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH, FOLLOWING THE PURCHASE OF A PORTION OF THE WARRANT
SHARES HEREUNDER, THE NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE HEREUNDER
AT ANY GIVEN TIME MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNT STATED ON THE FACE
HEREOF.
b) Exercise
Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under
this Warrant shall be $0.01, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Exercise
Limitations.
i. Holder’s
Restrictions. The Company shall not effect any exercise of
this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any
portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or
otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after
exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, such Holder
(together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting
as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates), as set
forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, would beneficially own in excess of
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of
the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such
determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common
Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised
portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its
Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation,
any other Series A Preferred Stock or Warrants) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially
owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the
preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(c)(i),
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being
acknowledged by a Holder that the Company is not representing to such Holder
that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act
and such Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in
accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation
contained in this Section 2(c)(i)
applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and of
which a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion
of a Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be
each Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and of
which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to such
aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to
verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In
addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(c), in
determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely
on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (X) the
Company’s most recent Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as the case may be, (Y) a more
recent public announcement by the Company or (Z) any other notice by the Company
or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the
Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such
Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case,
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after
giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including this Warrant, by such Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of
which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was
reported. The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Beneficial
Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(c)(i) may
be waived by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61
days’ prior notice to the Company to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
this Warrant, and the provisions of this Section 2(c)(i) shall
continue to apply. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived by such
Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and
implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of
this Section
2(c)(i) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be
defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation
herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to
properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this
paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, this provision shall not apply to any Holder that has elected to
waive this provision on its signature page to the Securities Purchase
Agreement, on or before the date of closing.
d) Mechanics of
Exercise.
i. Authorization of Warrant
Shares. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which
may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant,
be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue
thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously
with such issue).
ii. Delivery of Certificates
Upon Exercise. Certificates for Warrant Shares purchased
hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository
Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system if the
Company is a participant in such system, and otherwise by delivery to the
address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise, within five (5)
Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise form,
surrender of this Warrant (if required) and payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price as set forth above (“Warrant Share Delivery
Date”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on
the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company. The Warrant
Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so
designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record
of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised
by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if
permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to
Section
2(d)(vii) prior to the issuance of such shares, have been
paid.
iii. Delivery of New Warrants
Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in
part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this
Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this
Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this
Warrant.
iv. Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to
transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant
Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii)
above by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to
rescind such exercise.
v. Obligation
Absolute; Damages. The Corporation’s obligations to issue and
deliver the certificates representing the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the
Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or
any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and
irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Corporation to the Holder in connection with the issuance of
such certificates representing the Warrant Shares. The Corporation
shall issue the certificates representing the Warrant Shares or, if applicable,
cash, upon a properly noticed exercise. If the Corporation fails to deliver to
the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 2(d) within
five (5) Trading Days of the Warrant Share Delivery Date applicable to such
exercise, the Corporation shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of VWAP of the Common Stock, $10
per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day after ten (20) Trading Days
after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after the Warrant
Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered.
vi. No Fractional Shares or
Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon
such exercise, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment
in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vii. Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be
made without charge to the Holder or other incidental expense in respect of the
issuance of such certificate, and such certificates shall be issued in the name
of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the
event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the
name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be
accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder;
the assignment shall be subject to Section 4 below, and
the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient
to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
viii. Closing of
Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or
records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.
e) Cashless
Exercise. If at any time after one year from the date of
issuance of this Warrant there is no effective Registration Statement
registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant
Shares by the Holder (a “Cashless Exercise
Trigger”), then this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means
of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a
certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
|
|
(A)
= the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such
election;
|
|
|
(B)
= the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted;
and
|
|
|
(X)
= the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise
rather than a cashless exercise.
|
Section
3. Certain
Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or
distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity
equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of
doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon
exercise of this Warrant), provided that this clause (i) shall not apply to
shares of Common Stock issued solely in connection with dividends required to be
paid under the terms and conditions of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock,
and/ or other securities issued and outstanding on the date of this Warrant,
provided that such stock dividend or distribution shall be issued pursuant to
the terms of such other securities as of the date of this Warrant, (ii)
subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares,
(iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification
of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then
in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury
shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall
become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become
effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or re-classification.
b) Subsequent Equity
Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any
time while this Warrant is outstanding, sells, grants or otherwise issues (or
announces any sale, grant or other issuance related to the foregoing) any Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of
Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price
(such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and
such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”)
(if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall
at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset
provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or
due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with
such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective
price per share which is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be
deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the
Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to
equal the Base Share Price. As a point of clarification, the number of Warrant
Shares issuable hereunder shall not be increased upon
an adjustment to the Exercise Price under this Section
3(b). Such adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be made
whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are
issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made,
paid or issued under this Section 3(b) in
respect of an Exempt Issuance or issuances subject to Section 3(a)
above. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than
the third (3rd)
Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance
price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other
pricing terms (such notice the “Dilutive Issuance
Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the
Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon
the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive
Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based
upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to
the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise.
c) Subsequent Rights
Offerings. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common
Stock (and not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP as of the record date
mentioned below, then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number
of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and
of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the
number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of
shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration
payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at
such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights,
options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
rights, options or warrants.
d) Pro Rata
Distributions. If the Company, at any time prior to the
Termination Date, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to
Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash
and cash dividends, but not including cash dividends on the Series B Preferred
Stock, provided that the terms of such Series B Preferred Stock shall not have
been amended since the date of this Agreement), then in each such case the
Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator
shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which
the numerator shall be such VWAP as of such record date less the then per share
fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence
of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common
Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In
either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the
Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or
such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common
Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution
is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned
above.
e) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the
Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its
assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or
exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant
to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their
shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any
reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant
to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other
securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the
Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such
Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, (a) upon exercise of this
Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any
additional consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such event or (b) if the Company is acquired in an all cash
transaction, cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance
with the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. For purposes of any
such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of
Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such
Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price
among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative
value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If
holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or
property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be
given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any
exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To
the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to
the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to
the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing
the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The
terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected
shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply
with the provisions of this Section 3(e) and
insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental
Transaction.
f) Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 3 shall be
made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
For purposes of this Section 3, the number
of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date
shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury
shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
g) Voluntary Adjustment By
Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant
reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time
deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
h) Notice to
Holders.
i. Adjustment to Exercise
Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision
of this Section
3, the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth
the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of
the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by
▇▇▇▇▇▇. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall
declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common
Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common
Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital
stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the
Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common
Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property; (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder
at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company,
at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (X) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or
warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of
the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,
redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (Y) the date on which
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange
is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect
therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate
action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is
entitled to exercise this Warrant during the ten (10) day period commencing on
the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such
notice.
Section
4. Transfer of
Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject
to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth
in Section 4(d)
hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation,
any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender
of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form
attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds
sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such
transfer. Upon such surrender 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 denomination or denominations specified in such
instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant
evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall
promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be
exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a
new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants. This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued,
signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance
with Section
4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or
combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice.
c) Warrant Register. The
Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”),
in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the
contrary.
d) Transfer
Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in
connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall
not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the
Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the
Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company
a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and
scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the
effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder
or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form
and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), or
(a)(8) promulgated under the Securities Act or a “qualified institutional buyer”
as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Shareholder
Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the
exercise hereof as set forth in Section
2.
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or
Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to
the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall
not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of
such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of
any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not
be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized
Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the
Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common
Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this
Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this
Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the
duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights
under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action
as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided
herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be
listed.
Before taking any action which would
result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant
is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such
authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary
from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction
thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement, venue,
jurisdiction, and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the Securities Purchase
Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The
Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state
and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver and
Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to
exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of
such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies,
notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination
Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any
provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder,
the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any
costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any
amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers
or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices. Any
notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered
to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice
provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation of
Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any
affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall
give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock
or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the
Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Remedies. Holder,
in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including
recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights
under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it
of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert
the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
k) Successors and
Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant
and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and
permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are
intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant
and shall be enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Warrant
Shares.
l) Amendment. This
Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived only with the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.
m) Severability. Wherever
possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of
this Warrant.
n) Headings. The
headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and
shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
