C.S.T., on March 6, 2006.
Certain Terms used in this Warrant are defined in Article IV.
ARTICLE I
EXERCISE OF WARRANT
1.1 METHOD OF EXERCISE. This Warrant may be exercised as a whole or in
part from time to time until March 6, 2006, at which time this Warrant shall
expire and be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that the minimum
number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased on a single exercise shall be
10,000 or the entire number of shares remaining available for exercise
hereunder, whichever is less. To exercise this Warrant, the holder hereof or
permitted assignees of all rights of the registered owner hereof shall deliver
to the Company, at the Warrant Office designated in Section 2.1, (a) a written
notice in the form of the Subscription Notice attached as Exhibit A hereto,
stating therein the election of such holder or such permitted assignees of the
holder to exercise this Warrant in the manner provided in the Subscription
Notice, (b) payment in full of the Exercise Price (in the manner described
below) for all Warrant Shares purchased hereunder, and (c) this Warrant. Subject
to compliance with Section 3.1(a)(vi), this Warrant shall be deemed to be
exercised on the date of receipt by the Company of the Subscription Notice,
accompanied by payment for the Warrant Shares to be purchased and surrender of
this Warrant, as aforesaid, and such date is referred to herein as the "EXERCISE
DATE." Upon such exercise (subject as aforesaid), the Company shall issue and
deliver to such holder a certificate for the full number of the Warrant Shares
purchasable by such holder hereunder, against the receipt by the Company of the
total Exercise Price payable hereunder for all such Warrant Shares, (a) in cash
or by certified or cashier's check or (b) if the Common Stock is registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), by
surrendering Warrant Shares having a Current Market Price equal to the Exercise
Price for all the Warrant Shares so purchased. The Person in whose name the
certificate(s) for Common Stock is to be issued shall be deemed to have become a
holder of record of such Common Stock on the Exercise Date.
1.2 NET EXERCISE. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary,
if the Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act, and the Current Market
Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the
date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by
payment of cash, the holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares equal to the
value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being
canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the Warrant Office together with the
properly endorsed Subscription Notice in which event the Company shall issue the
holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed as follows:
X = Y(A-B)
------
A
Where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder.
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the
Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised,
the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such
calculation)
A = the Current Market Price of one share of Common Stock (at the
date of such calculation)
B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
1.3 FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be
issued upon exercise of this Warrant. Instead of any fractional shares of Common
Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the
Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest equal
to the fair market value of such fractional interest as determined in good faith
by the Board of Directors.
ARTICLE II
WARRANT OFFICE; TRANSFER
2.1 WARRANT OFFICE. The Company shall maintain an office for certain
purposes specified herein (the "WARRANT OFFICE"), which office shall initially
be the Company's office at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx
00000-0000, and may subsequently be such other office of the Company or of any
transfer agent of the Common Stock in the continental United States of which
written notice has previously been given to the holder of this Warrant. The
Company shall maintain, at the Warrant Office, a register for the Warrant in
which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name
this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each permitted
assignee of the rights of the registered owner hereof.
2.2 OWNERSHIP OF WARRANT. The Company may deem and treat the person in
whose name this Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof
(notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone
other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice
to the contrary, until presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer
as provided in this Article II.
2.3 TRANSFER OF WARRANTS. The Company agrees to maintain at the Warrant
Office books for the registration and transfer of this Warrant. This Warrant may
be transferred in whole or in part only in compliance with the applicable law
and only to shareholders, officers, and employees of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Inc.
or to any person who succeeds to all of the assets of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Inc.
The Company, from time to time, shall register the transfer of this Warrant in
such books upon surrender of this Warrant at the Warrant Office, properly
endorsed, together with a written assignment of this Warrant, substantially in
the form of the Assignment attached as Exhibit B hereto. Upon any such transfer,
a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee, and the Company shall cancel
the surrendered Warrant. The registered holder of this Warrant shall pay all
taxes and all other expenses and charges payable in connection with the transfer
of Warrants pursuant to this Section 2.3.
2.4 REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company agrees to include the Warrant Shares
on any registration statement filed by the Company with respect to shares of
Common Stock of the Company issued and sold pursuant to the terms of the
Placement Agent Agreement dated as of October __, 2002, between the Company and
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Inc.; provided, however, that the Company need not include
on any such registration statement any Warrant Shares sold to the public either
pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 or that may be sold immediately
under Rule 144(k).
2.5 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RIGHTS. The Company will, at the time of the
exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, upon the request
of the registered holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing
obligation to afford to such holder any rights (including without limitation,
any right to registration of the Warrant Shares) to which such holder shall
continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of
this Warrant, provided that if the holder of this Warrant shall fail to make any
such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the
Company to afford to such holder any such rights.
2.6 EXPENSES OF DELIVERY OF WARRANTS. Except as provided in Section 2.3
above, the Company shall pay all reasonable expenses, taxes (other than transfer
taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance
and delivery of Warrants and related Warrant Shares hereunder.
2.7 COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS. The holder hereof understands and
agrees that the following restrictions and limitations shall be applicable to
all Warrant Shares and resales or other transfers thereof pursuant to the
Securities Act:
(a) The holder hereof agrees that the Warrant Shares shall not be sold or
otherwise transferred unless the Warrant Shares are registered under the
Securities Act and state securities laws or are exempt therefrom.
(b) A legend in substantially the following form has been or will be
placed on the certificate(s) evidencing the Warrant Shares:
"The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any
state (collectively, the "Acts"). Neither the shares nor any interest
therein may be offered, sold, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed
of in the absence of an effective registration statement with respect to
the shares under all of the applicable Acts, or an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to Infocrossing, Inc. to the effect that such registrations
are not required."
(c) Stop transfer instructions have been or will be imposed with respect
to the Warrant Shares so as to restrict resale or other transfer thereof,
subject to this Section 2.7.
ARTICLE III
ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS
3.1 ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The
Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter
provided in this Article III. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, except
pursuant to Sections 3.1(a)(iii), (iv), and (v), the registered holder of the
Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of the Common Stock
obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment by the number of shares of the Common Stock purchasable pursuant
hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by
the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(a) EXERCISE PRICE ADJUSTMENTS. The Exercise Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) ADJUSTMENT FOR STOCK SPLITS AND COMBINATIONS. If the Company
shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof (the "ORIGINAL
ISSUE DATE") effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the
Exercise Price in effect immediately before such subdivision shall be
proportionately decreased. Conversely, if the Company shall at any time or
from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price
in effect immediately before such combination shall be proportionately
increased. Any adjustment under this Section 3.1(a)(i) shall become
effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or
combination becomes effective.
(ii) ADJUSTMENT FOR COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. If the
Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date
makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in
additional shares of Common Stock, in each such event the Exercise Price
that is then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance
or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on
such record date, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a
fraction (i) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance
or the close of business on such record date, and (ii) the denominator of
which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on
such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in
payment of such dividend or distribution; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such
record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such
distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Exercise
Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such
record date, and thereafter the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant
to this Section 3.1(a)(ii) to reflect the actual payment of such dividend
or distribution.
(iii) ADJUSTMENT FOR RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE AND SUBSTITUTION. If
at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Common
Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class
or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or
otherwise (other than an Acquisition, Asset Transfer, subdivision or
combination of shares, stock dividend, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Section
3.1(a)), in any such event the holder hereof shall have the right
thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and
other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization,
reclassification or other change by holders of the maximum number of shares
of Common Stock into which such shares of Common Stock could have been
converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or
change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with
respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.
(iv) REORGANIZATIONS, MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS OR SALES OF ASSETS. If
at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, there is a
capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than an Acquisition,
Asset Transfer, recapitalization, or subdivision, combination,
reclassification, exchange, or substitution of shares provided for
elsewhere in this Section 3.1(a)), as a part of such capital
reorganization, provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant
shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise hereof the number of
shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company to which a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise
immediately prior to such event would have been entitled as a result of
such capital reorganization, subject to adjustment in respect of such stock
or securities by the terms thereof. In any such case, appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this
Section 3.1(a) with respect to the rights of the holder hereof after the
capital reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Section
3.1(a) (including adjustment of the Exercise Price then in effect and the
number of shares issuable upon exercise) shall be applicable after that
event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable.
(v) ROUNDING OF CALCULATIONS; MINIMUM ADJUSTMENT. All calculations
under this Section 3.1(a) and under Section 3.1(b) shall be made to the
nearest cent. Any provision of this Section 3.1 to the contrary
notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be made if the
amount of such adjustment would be less than one percent, 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
which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried
forward, shall aggregate one percent or more.
(vi) TIMING OF ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL COMMON STOCK UPON CERTAIN
ADJUSTMENTS. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 3.1(a)
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 this Warrant after such record date and
before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock
or other property issuable or deliverable upon exercise by reason of the
adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock
or other property issuable or deliverable upon such exercise before giving
effect to such adjustment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company upon request
shall deliver to such holder a due xxxx or other appropriate instrument
evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional shares or other
property, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such
adjustment.
(b) CURRENT MARKET PRICE. The "CURRENT MARKET PRICE" shall mean, as of any
date, 5% of the sum of the average, for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days
immediately prior to such date, of either: (i) the high and low sales prices of
the Common Stock on such Trading Day as reported on the composite tape for the
principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock may then be
listed, or (ii) if the Common Stock shall not be so listed on any such Trading
Day, the high and low sales prices of Common Stock in the over-the-counter
market as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market for National Market Securities, or
(iii) if the Common Shares shall not be included in the Nasdaq Stock Market as a
National Market Security on any such Trading Day, the representative bid and
asked prices at the end of such Trading Day in such market as reported by the
Nasdaq Stock Market or (iv) if there be no such representative prices reported
by the Nasdaq Stock Market, the lowest bid and highest asked prices at the end
of such Trading Day in the over-the-counter market as reported by the OTC
Electronic Bulletin Board or National Quotation Bureau, Inc., or any successor
organization. For purposes of determining Current Market Price, the term
"TRADING DAY" shall mean a day on which an amount greater than zero can be
calculated with respect to the Common Stock under any one or more of the
foregoing categories (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), and the "end" thereof, for the
purposes of categories (iii) and (iv), shall mean the exact time at which
trading shall end on the New York Stock Exchange. If the Current Market Price
cannot be determined under any of the foregoing methods, Current Market Price
shall mean the fair value per share of Common Stock on such date as determined
by the Board of Directors in good faith, irrespective of any accounting
treatment.
(c) STATEMENT REGARDING ADJUSTMENTS. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted as provided in Section 3.1(a), and upon each change in the number of
shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company
shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for this Warrant and
at the principal office of the Company, a statement showing in detail the facts
requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price and new number of shares
issuable that shall be in effect after such adjustment, and the Company shall
also cause a copy of such statement to be given to the holder of this Warrant.
Each such statement shall be signed by the Company's chief financial or
accounting officer. Where appropriate, such copy may be given in advance and may
be included as part of a notice required to be mailed under the provisions of
Section 3.1(d).
(d) NOTICE TO HOLDERS. In the event the Company shall propose to take any
action of the type described in clause (iii) or (iv) of Section 3.1(a), the
Company shall give notice to the holder of this Warrant, in the manner set forth
in Section 6.6, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect
to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take
place. Such notice shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall
be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action (to the extent
such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Exercise Price and
the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall
be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the case of any action which
would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least
10 days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice
shall be given at least 15 days prior to the taking of such proposed action.
Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the
legality or validity of any such action.
(e) TREASURY STOCK. For the purposes of this Section 3.1, the sale or
other disposition of any Common Stock of the Company theretofore held in its
treasury shall be deemed to be an issuance thereof.
3.2 COSTS. The registered holder of this Warrant shall pay all
documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the
issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company upon exercise of
this Warrant. Additionally, the Company shall not be required to pay any taxes
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or
delivery of any certificate for such shares. The holder of this Warrant shall
reimburse the Company for any such taxes assessed against the Company.
3.3 RESERVATIONS OF SHARES. The Company shall reserve at all times so long
as this Warrant remains outstanding, free from preemptive rights, out of its
treasury Common Stock or its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, or
both, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant,
sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise hereof.
3.4 VALID ISSUANCE. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon
exercise of this Warrant will upon issuance by the Company be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the issuance thereof attributable to any act or omission by the
Company, and the Company shall take no action which will cause a contrary result
(including without limitation, any action which would cause the Exercise Price
to be less than the par value, if any, of the Common Stock).

include all of the shares issuable as provided in said Warrant, that a new
Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the shares issuable thereunder

subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
registration is available; (5) the undersigned is aware that the aforesaid
