SECTION 3. EXERCISE OF WARRANT

 

3.1 Manner of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, during the Exercise Period by the Holder by delivering to the Company, at its principal executive offices (or such other address as the Company may designate by notice to the Holder), the following: (a) this Warrant (or, if claimed lost, an affidavit of loss and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company); (b) a duly executed Notice of Exercise specifying the number of Warrant Shares being purchased and the form of exercise elected; and (c) in the case of a Cash Exercise (as defined below), payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash in accordance with Section 3.2 or, in the case of a Cashless Exercise (as defined below), as provided in Section 3.3.

 

3.2 Cash Exercise. The Holder may elect to pay the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash by delivering to the Company, concurrently with the Notice of Exercise, payment in an amount equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company, or by certified or bank check payable to the order of the Company (a “Cash Exercise”). A Cash Exercise shall not be effective until the Company has received immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price.

 

3.3 Cashless / Net-Issue Exercise. In lieu of paying the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash pursuant to Section 3.2, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, to exercise this Warrant (or any portion hereof) on a cashless or net-issue basis (a “Cashless Exercise”). In the case of a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant (together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise indicating such election) and shall receive, without payment of any cash by the Holder, that number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y × (A – B) / A

 

where:

 

  X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder in connection with such Cashless Exercise;
     
  Y = the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to such Cashless Exercise;
     
  A = the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company; and
     
  B = the Exercise Price per share then in effect (as adjusted pursuant to Section 4, if applicable).

 

No cash shall be payable by the Holder or by the Company in connection with any Cashless Exercise; the Company shall have no obligation to pay cash to the Holder in lieu of issuing Warrant Shares upon a Cashless Exercise, and the Holder shall have no obligation to pay cash to the Company upon a Cashless Exercise. If the foregoing formula would result in a negative number of Warrant Shares (i.e., if the Fair Market Value is less than or equal to the Exercise Price), then no Warrant Shares shall be issuable in a Cashless Exercise and the Holder’s election shall be void.

 

3.4 Issuance of Warrant Shares; Effectiveness of Exercise. Upon proper exercise of this Warrant (whether by Cash Exercise or Cashless Exercise), the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to have been issued to the Holder as the record owner thereof as of the close of business on the date of exercise (the “Exercise Date”). Subject to Section 3.5, the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days following the Exercise Date (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder (or to such other person or persons as the Holder may direct in the Notice of Exercise) a certificate or certificates (or, if the Common Stock is uncertificated, a book-entry statement) evidencing the Warrant Shares so purchased. In the event that this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall, concurrently with the issuance of such Warrant Shares, execute and deliver to the Holder a new warrant, dated the date hereof and in all other respects identical to this Warrant, evidencing the right to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares not then being purchased.

 

3

 

 

3.5 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, an amount equal to such fractional share multiplied by the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock as of the Exercise Date.

 

3.6 Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issuance or transfer taxes payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares to any person other than the Holder, and no such transfer or issuance shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction, that such tax has been paid.

 

3.7 Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times during the Exercise Period reserve and keep available, out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the full exercise of this Warrant. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit the exercise of this Warrant in full, the Company shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number as shall be sufficient for such purpose. The Holder shall be entitled to specific performance of the Company’s obligations under this Section 3.7, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security.

 

3.8 Valid Issuance. All Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall, upon issuance and payment of the Exercise Price (or upon a valid Cashless Exercise), be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

 

SECTION 4. ADJUSTMENTS

 

4.1 Stock Dividends; Stock Splits; Combinations; Reclassifications. In the event that, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Company shall: (a) pay or make a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock; (b) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares (whether by stock split or otherwise); (c) combine or consolidate the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares (whether by reverse stock split or otherwise); or (d) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification or recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than in connection with a merger or other event governed by Section 4.3), then, in each such case, (i) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for any such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of any such subdivision, combination or reclassification, by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event; and (ii) the number of Warrant Shares shall be correspondingly adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant immediately after such event shall equal the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant immediately before such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall become effective retroactively to the close of business on the record date for any such dividend or distribution, or shall become effective immediately upon the effective date of any such subdivision, combination, or reclassification.

 

4

 

 

4.2 Distributions of Assets, Cash, or Other Securities. If, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Company shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock (other than in a transaction covered by Section 4.1 or Section 4.3): (a) evidence of indebtedness; (b) assets (excluding cash dividends paid from retained earnings in the ordinary course); (c) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security; or (d) securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, then, in each such case, the Exercise Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the fair market value of such distribution allocable per share of Common Stock (as determined in good faith by the Board), and the number of Warrant Shares shall be correspondingly increased, in each case effective as of the record date for such distribution. In the alternative, at the election of the Holder, the Company shall provide the Holder with the opportunity to participate in such distribution as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such distribution, without being required to actually exercise.

 

4.3 Reorganization; Merger; Consolidation; Sale of Assets. In the event of any reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, or in the event of any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another entity (each, a “Corporate Event”), proper provision shall be made so that, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of such Corporate Event, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of or in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise, the same kind and amount of securities, cash and/or other property as would have been receivable upon consummation of such Corporate Event by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to such Corporate Event (subject to any adjustment made to such consideration on the basis of applicable appraisal or dissenter’s rights). The Company shall not effect any Corporate Event unless, prior to consummation thereof, the successor or acquiring entity (or the Company if it is the surviving entity) shall have assumed, in writing delivered to the Holder, the obligations of the Company under this Warrant, including the obligation to deliver to the Holder the consideration referred to in the preceding sentence. The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events.

 

4.4 Below Market / Dilutive Issuances.

 

(a) For purposes of this Section, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

 

“Additional Shares of Common Stock” means all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Section 3, deemed to be issued) by the Company after the Issue Date, other than Excluded Securities.

 

“Applicable Price” means, with respect to any issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock, the lowest price per share at which such Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued or deemed to be issued.

 

“Excluded Securities” means:

 

(i) shares of Common Stock or options to purchase shares of Common Stock issued to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to stock option or equity incentive plans duly adopted by the Board;

 

(ii) shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any security outstanding on the Original Issue Date;

 

(iii) shares of Common Stock issued as consideration in a bona fide acquisition or strategic transaction approved by the Board;

 

5

 

 

(iv) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar transaction for which adjustment is made pursuant to Section 4.1; or

 

(v) this Warrant and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof

 

(b) If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Company issues or is deemed to have issued Additional Shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the then-current Exercise Price (a “Dilutive Issuance” and such lower price, the “Dilutive Issuance Price”), then, immediately upon each such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price shall be reduced, automatically and without further action by any party, to a price equal to the Dilutive Issuance Price.

 

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the adjustment described in Section 4.4 shall be calculated on a full ratchet basis, meaning:

 

(i) The Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the lowest price per share at which any Additional Share of Common Stock is issued or deemed to be issued in any Dilutive Issuance, regardless of the number of shares issued at such lower price and without reference to any weighted average calculation;

 

(ii) Each subsequent Dilutive Issuance shall independently trigger a further downward adjustment to the Exercise Price, with no floor other than the par value of the Common Stock; and

 

(iii) No upward adjustment to the Exercise Price shall result from a subsequent issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock at a price equal to or higher than the then-current Exercise Price.

 

4.5 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4, the Company shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the event giving rise to such adjustment, deliver to the Holder a certificate signed by the chief financial officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail: (a) the event requiring the adjustment; (b) the method of calculating the adjustment; (c) the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares after giving effect to such adjustment; and (d) reasonable supporting documentation for such calculation. If the Holder disputes any such adjustment, the Holder shall deliver written notice of such dispute to the Company within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of such certificate, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute. The Company and the Holder shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such dispute within ten (10) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s dispute notice. If the parties are unable to resolve such dispute within such period, the dispute shall be submitted to an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Holder (or, if the parties cannot agree on such firm within five (5) Business Days, selected in accordance with the procedures set forth in the definition of Fair Market Value), whose determination shall be final and binding on the parties, and the costs of such accounting firm shall be borne by the non-prevailing party. Such certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of the adjustment absent manifest error.

 

4.6 Notice of Record Date / Corporate Events. In the event of: (a) the establishment of a record date for any dividend or distribution to holders of Common Stock (including any dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock); (b) any reclassification or reorganization of the Common Stock; or (c) any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all assets to which Section 4.3 applies, the Company shall mail or deliver to the Holder written notice of such event at least thirty (30) days prior to the applicable record date or effective date, as applicable.

 

6

 

 

4.7 No Double Adjustment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4, no single event shall give rise to an adjustment under more than one provision hereof. If a single event would give rise to adjustments under multiple provisions, the Company and the Holder shall cooperate in good faith to determine which provision(s) most appropriately apply, and the Company shall make such adjustment(s) as are equitable in the circumstances, but shall not make duplicative adjustments.

 

4.8 Minimum Adjustment. No adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be required under this Section 4 unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least $0.01 in the Exercise Price; provided, however, that any adjustments that are not made by reason of this Section 4.8 shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
