COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
To Purchase 2,000,000 Shares of Common Stock of
ACCUPOLL HOLDING CORP.
DATE OF ISSUANCE: JUNE 22, 2005
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the "WARRANT") CERTIFIES that, for
value received, Crescent International, Ltd. (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 of issuance of this
Warrant (the "INITIAL EXERCISE DATE") and on or prior to the Third anniversary
of the Initial Exercise Date (the "TERMINATION DATE") but not thereafter, to
subscribe for and purchase from Accupoll Holding Corp., a Nevada corporation
(the "Company"), up to 2,000,000 shares (the "WARRANT SHARES") of Common Stock,
par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the "COMMON STOCK"). The purchase
price of one share of Common Stock (the "EXERCISE PRICE") under this Warrant
shall be $0.10, subject to adjustment hereunder. The Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is exercisable shall be subject
to adjustment as provided herein. CAPITALIZED TERMS USED AND NOT OTHERWISE
DEFINED HEREIN SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS SET FORTH IN THAT CERTAIN SECURITIES
PURCHASE AGREEMENT (THE "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), DATED JUNE 22, 2005, AMONG THE
COMPANY AND THE PURCHASERS SIGNATORY THERETO.
1
1. TITLE TO WARRANT. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to
compliance with applicable laws and Section 7 of this Warrant, this Warrant and
all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or
agency of the Company by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto
properly endorsed. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
2. 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 in respect of the issue
thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously
with such issue).
3. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may
be made 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); provided, however, within 5
Business Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the
Company, the Holder shall have surrendered this Warrant to the Company and
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. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be
delivered to the Holder within 5 Business Days from the delivery to the
Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant 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 later of the date the Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company
by facsimile copy and 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 and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if
any, pursuant to Section 5 prior to the issuance of such shares, have been
paid. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 3(a)
by the Third Business Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then
the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise. In addition to
any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver
to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant
Shares pursuant to an exercise by the Fifth Business Day after the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, and if after such day the Holder is required by its
broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the
Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such
2
exercise (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the
Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock
so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number
of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder
in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the
sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2)
at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant
and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not
honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that
would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise
and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases
Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In
with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an
aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000,
under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall
be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company
written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of
the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence
reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's
right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in
equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely
deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(b) If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, 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.
(c) The Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of
this Warrant, pursuant to Section 3(a) or otherwise, to the extent that
after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, the Holder (together
with the Holder's affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of
Exercise, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to
such issuance. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates
shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence
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 the 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 Warrants) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set
forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(c),
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by Holder that the Company is
not representing to Holder that such calculation is in compliance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Holder is solely responsible for
3
any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent
that the limitation contained in this Section 3(c) applies, the
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by the Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is
exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of such Xxxxxx, and the
submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be such Holder's
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by such Holder) 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. For purposes of this Section 3(c), in determining
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the 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
the Holder, the Company shall within two Business Days confirm orally and
in writing to the 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 the Holder or its
affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock was reported.
(d) omitted
(e) Subject to the provisions of this Section 3(e), if after the
Effective Date the Closing Price for each of 10 consecutive Trading Days
(the "MEASUREMENT PERIOD", which period shall not have commenced until
after the Effective Date) exceeds 200% of the Exercise Price (subject to
adjustment as set forth herein) (the "THRESHOLD PRICE") then the Company
may, within three Trading Days of the end of such period, call for
cancellation of all or any portion of this Warrant for which a Notice of
Exercise has not yet been delivered (such right, a "CALL"). To exercise
this right, the Company must deliver to the Holder an irrevocable written
notice (a "CALL NOTICE"), indicating therein the portion of unexercised
portion of this Warrant to which such notice applies. If the conditions
set forth below for such Call are satisfied from the period from the date
of the Call Notice through and including the Call Date (as defined below),
then any portion of this Warrant subject to such Call Notice for which a
Notice of Exercise shall not have been received by the Call Date will be
cancelled at 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the thirtieth (30th)
Trading Day after the date the Call Notice is received by the Holder (such
date, the "CALL DATE"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not
exercise a Call right to the extent, but only to the extent, that the
exercise of the portion of this Warrant subject to a Call Notice prior to
the Call Date would violate the provisions of Section 3 (c). Any
unexercised portion of this Warrant to which the Call Notice does not
pertain will be unaffected by such Call Notice. In furtherance thereof,
the Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of
Exercise with respect to Warrant Shares subject to a Call Notice that are
tendered through 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date. The
parties agree that any Notice of Exercise delivered following a Call
Notice shall first reduce to zero the number of Warrant Shares subject to
such Call Notice prior to reducing the remaining Warrant Shares available
for purchase under this
4
Warrant. For example, if (x) this Warrant then permits the Holder to
acquire 100 Warrant Shares, (y) a Call Notice pertains to 75 Warrant
Shares, and (z) prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date
the Holder tenders a Notice of Exercise in respect of 50 Warrant Shares,
then (1) on the Call Date the right under this Warrant to acquire 25
Warrant Shares will be automatically cancelled, (2) the Company, in the
time and manner required under this Warrant, will have issued and
delivered to the Holder 50 Warrant Shares in respect of the exercises
following receipt of the Call Notice, and (3) the Holder may, until the
Termination Date, exercise this Warrant for 25 Warrant Shares (subject to
adjustment as herein provided and subject to subsequent Call Notices).
Subject again to the provisions of this Section, the Company may deliver
subsequent Call Notices for any portion of this Warrant for which the
Holder shall not have delivered a Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, the Company may not
deliver a Call Notice or require the cancellation of this Warrant (and any
Call Notice will be void), unless, from the beginning of the 30th
consecutive Trading Days used to determine whether the Common Stock has
achieved the Threshold Price through the Call Date, (i) the Company shall
have honored in accordance with the terms of this Warrant all Notices of
Exercise delivered by 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date,
(ii) the Registration Statement shall be effective as to all Warrant
Shares and the prospectus thereunder available for use by the Holder for
the resale of all such Warrant Shares and (iii) the Common Stock shall be
listed or quoted for trading on the Trading Market. The Company's right to
Call the Warrant shall be exercised ratably among the Holders based on
each Holder's initial purchase of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement.
4. 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 pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by
the Exercise Price.
5. CHARGES, TAXES AND EXPENSES. Issuance of certificates for Warrant
Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax
or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all
of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, 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; and the Company may
require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it
for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
6. 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.
7. TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION.
5
(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and
the conditions set forth in Sections 1 and 7(e) hereof and to the
provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all
rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of
this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, 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) 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 7(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) The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense
(other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section
7.
(d) The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office, books
for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
(e) 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.
8. 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. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or by means of a cashless exercise),
the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be
6
issued to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of
business on the later of the date of such surrender or payment.
9. 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.
10. 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 be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be
taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday,
Sunday or legal holiday.
11. ADJUSTMENTS OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES.
(a) STOCK SPLITS, ETC. The number and kind of securities purchasable
upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of any of the
following. In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of
Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders
of its outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of
Common Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a
reclassification of the Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall
be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and
number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which it would
have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been
exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind and
number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which are
purchasable hereunder, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase
the number of Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such
adjustment at an Exercise Price per Warrant Share or other security
obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant
hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing by the number of
Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company that are purchasable
pursuant hereto immediately after such adjustment. An adjustment made
pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the
effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for
such event.
12. REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR
DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. Except as for the transactions set forth on Schedule 12,
in case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock,
consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not
the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with
respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, transfer or otherwise
7
dispose of its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant
to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or
disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any
nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights)
in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation ("OTHER PROPERTY"), are to be received by or distributed to the
holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to receive, 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 Other
Property 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) cash equal to the value of this Warrant
as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing formula. In
case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or
disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the
Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance
of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and
observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder,
subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in
good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to
provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable
which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided
for in this Section 12. For purposes of this Section 12, "common stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of
any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class
of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall
also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities
which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either
immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a
specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase
any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12 shall similarly
apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations
or disposition of assets.
13. VOLUNTARY ADJUSTMENT BY THE 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.
14. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or
number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company
shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the number of
Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other
securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by
which such adjustment was made.
15. NOTICE OF CORPORATE ACTION. If at any time:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other
distribution, or any
8
right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to
receive any other right, or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company
or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer
or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or
business of the Company to, another corporation or,
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at
least 20 days' prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be
selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to
vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii)
in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation,
sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 20
days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such
notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date
on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and
character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any
such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to exchange their Warrant Shares for securities or other property
deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each
such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder at the
last address of Xxxxxx appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in
accordance with Section 17(d).
16. 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.
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the
Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its
certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate to protect the
9
rights of Xxxxxx as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the
par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such
exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly
and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise
of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such
authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having
jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its
obligations under this Warrant.
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.
17. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) JURISDICTION. All questions concerning the construction,
validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be
determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(b) 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.
(c) 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 Xxxxxx's rights,
powers or remedies, notwithstanding 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.
(d) 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 Purchase
Agreement.
(e) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. No provision hereof, in the absence of
any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant or 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.
(f) 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
10
be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it
of the provisions of this Warrant and xxxxxx agrees to waive the defense
in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
(g) 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.
(h) AMENDMENT. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the
provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the
Holder.
(i) 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
