2.                                      Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised in full or in part at any time or from time to time until the Expiration Date by the holder hereof by surrender of this Warrant and the exercise notice annexed hereto as Exhibit A (duly executed) by such holder, to the Company at its principal office, accompanied by payment, in cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds, or by certified check payable to the order of the Company in the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Common Stock designated by the holder in the notice of exercise by (b) the Exercise Price then in effect (or by net exercise in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 below). On any partial exercise, the Company at its expense will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the holder hereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the holder hereof or as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes and subject to applicable securities laws) may request, providing in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares, or percentage of equity, as applicable, for which such Warrant or Warrants may still be exercised.

 

3.                                      Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 2, the Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion to the Company, with the exercise notice annexed hereto as Exhibit A duly executed (and by indicating thereon that the holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to the net exercise provisions of this Section 3), at the office of the Company.

2

5.                                      Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc., on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue or stamp taxes) shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes and subject to applicable securities laws) may direct, either:

The Company shall from time to time take all such actions as may be required to assure that the stated or par value per share of Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the Exercise Price then in effect. The Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the exercise of this Warrant in full.

 

7.                                      Conditions to Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, in the event the Holder is not already a party thereto, by its execution and delivery of this Warrant, the Holder shall, upon the exercise (or deemed exercise) of this Warrant, be deemed a party to each of the following agreements (collectively, the “Conditional Agreements”):

9.                                      Adjustments to Shares and Exercise Price.

 

(a)                                 Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations, Dividends and Distributions of Common Stock. If at any time after the date of this Warrant (x) the then outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock-split, reclassification or otherwise) or (y) the Company shall issue or make, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution of additional shares of Common Stock payable on then outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, concurrently with, in the case of clause (x), the effectiveness of such subdivision, and, in the case of clause (y), the issuance or the making of such dividend or other distribution or as of the close of business on such record date (whichever is earlier), the number of Shares (then in effect) shall be increased, and the Exercise Price (the in effect) shall be decreased, in proportion to the increase in the number of then outstanding shares of Common Stock as a result of such subdivision, dividend or distribution of Common Stock, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, in the case of clause (y), a dividend is not issued or a distribution is not made on the record date fixed therefor, then the number of Shares (the in effect) and the Exercise Price (then in effect) shall be readjusted to such number and such amount, respectively, as existed immediately prior to the fixing of such record date. If at any time after the date of this Warrant the then outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (by consolidation, reclassification or otherwise), then, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, the number of Shares (then in effect) shall be decreased, and the Exercise Price (then in effect) shall be increased, in proportion to the decrease in the number of then outstanding shares of Common Stock as a result of such combination.

 

(b)                                 Adjustments for Reorganization, Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the Common Stock shall be converted into or exchanged for the same number or a different number of shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Company other than Common Stock or for other securities or property (whether by reorganization, reclassification or otherwise), then, concurrently with the effectiveness of such conversion or exchange:

 

(i)                                     this Warrant shall be exercisable for, in lieu of the Shares, such other class or series of capital stock or other securities or property into which or for which the Common Stock was so converted or exchanged, and in such number of shares of such other class or series of capital stock or such amount of other securities or property, as the case may be, that is equivalent to the number of shares of such other class or series of capital stock or such amount of other securities or property into which or for which the Shares would have otherwise been converted or exchanged had they been outstanding at the time of such conversion or exchange;

 

(ii)                                  the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the quotient obtained from dividing (x) the product of the Shares and the Exercise Price (each as in effect immediately prior to such conversion or exchange) by (y) the number of shares of such other class or series of capital stock or such amount of other securities or property for which this Warrant shall be exercisable pursuant to clause (i) above; and

 

4


 

(iii)                               appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the terms of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall be applicable, as nearly as they reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of capital stock or other securities or property deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

(c)                                  Certificate of Adjustment. The Company shall, within thirty (30) days of a written request thereof from the Holder, prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth (x) the number of Shares and the Exercise Price, each as then in effect, (y) each adjustment (showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based) made to the number of Shares and the Exercise Price since the date of this Warrant, and (z) to the extent this Warrant is no longer exercisable for Common Stock, the kind and amount of securities, assets or property for which the Warrant may be exercisable.

 

10.                               Exchange of Warrant. This Warrant may be exchangeable at any time upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office or an agent of the Company for a new warrant of like tenor, which new warrant shall provide on its face the Shares and the Exercise Price as in effect at the time of surrender of this Warrant, or the kind and amount of securities, assets or property for which this Warrant is exercisable at the time of such surrender.

 

11.                               Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, issue a new warrant of like tenor, provided that the Holder (i) submits an affidavit made to the Company that this Warrant has been lost, stolen or destroyed, as the case may be, (ii) executes an agreement to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by the Company in connection with this Warrant, and (iii) in the case of a mutilated Warrant, surrenders to the Company such mutilated Warrant.

 

12.                               Notice of Certain Events. If any capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation (each, an “Extraordinary Event”) shall be effected, then (i) if not expressly exercised pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3, as the case may be, prior to such Extraordinary Event, this Warrant shall be canceled without any payment therefor immediately prior to the consummation of such Extraordinary Event. The Company shall provide or cause to be provided to the Holder written notice of such event no less than fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of an Extraordinary Event.

 

13.                               Notices. All notices, requests, and other communications given or made pursuant to this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively delivered to and received by a party: (i) when hand delivered to the other party; (ii) if sent by electronic mail to such party’s email address, on the day the sender receives electronic confirmation of such electronic mail having been opened; (iii) if sent by fax with confirmation that the proper number of pages were transmitted without error to such party’s fax number, on the business day next following the date the fax was sent; (iv) five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. mail first class, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail with return receipt requested to such party’s address; or (v) on the day of delivery if delivered with a national overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, to such

The Holder may, by written notice to the Company, and the Company may, by written notice to the Holder, designate additional or different mailing addresses, email addresses, or fax numbers for delivery of communications hereunder.

 

14.                               No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, or through any reclassification, recapitalization event, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance of assets, dissolution, liquidation, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance of 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 action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder.

 

15.                               Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                 Governing Law.

(d)                                 Counterparts; Facsimile. This Warrant may be executed and delivered by facsimile signature and in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
