6.                                      ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS.

 

The Warrant Exercise Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment as follows. The Company

 



 

shall give each Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 6 at the time of such event:

 

(a)                                  Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations.  If at any time the Company shall:

 

(i)                                     take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock,

 

(ii)                                  subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or

 

(iii)                               combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or otherwise effect a reverse stock split, then:

 

(A) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, or the record date therefor, whichever is earlier, would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (B) the Warrant Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal: (x) the Warrant Exercise Price immediately prior to such event multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (y) the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

 

(b)                                 Certain Other Distributions and Adjustments.

 

(i)                                     If at any time the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of:

 

(A)                              cash,

 

(B)                                any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its capital stock or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock), or

 

(C)                                any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its stock or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock), the Holder shall be entitled to receive such dividend or distribution as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant.

 

(ii)                                  A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock and in such event the Holder shall be entitled to receive such distribution as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 6(a).

 



 

(c)                                  Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

 

(i)                                     Except in connection with Permitted Issuances, if, at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Final Closing (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), the Company shall issue or sell any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for consideration in an amount per share of Common Stock less than the lowest Common Stock Purchase Price calculated for any Closing (the “Discounted Price,” each such sale or issuance, a “Discounted Price Transaction” and the number of shares sold or issued in such Discounted Price Transaction the “Discounted Sale Volume”), the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect shall immediately, and without any further action by the Company or the Holder required, be adjusted, concurrently with such issuance, to a price equal to the Discounted Price.

 

(ii)                                  Except in connection with Permitted Issuances, if, at any time after the first anniversary of the Final Closing the Company shall issue or sell any shares of Common Stock in a Discounted Price Transaction, then (A) the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect shall be adjusted (or further adjusted as the case may be) to a price determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the sum of money raised in the Placement plus the sum of money raised in all Subsequent Discounted Price Transactions, and of which the denominator shall be the sum of money raised in the Placement plus the sum of money equal to the product of the cumulative Discounted Sale Volumes of all Discounted Price Transactions and such Common Stock Purchase Price, and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Discounted Price Transaction by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Discounted Price Transaction and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from the adjustment made pursuant to clause (A) above.

 

(iii)                               The provisions of paragraph (i) and (ii) of this Section 6(c) shall not apply to any issuance of shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is provided under Section 6(a) or 6(b).  No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant shall be exercisable shall be made under paragraph (i) of this Section 6(c) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any Convertible Securities, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights or upon the issuance of such Convertible Securities (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section 6(d).

 

(d)           Issuance of Warrants or Other Rights.

 

(i)                                     If at any time the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such warrants or other rights or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be less than the Common Stock Purchase Price, then the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 6(c)(i) or (ii) hereof (depending upon the time at which such record is taken) on the basis that the maximum number of shares of Common

 



 

Stock issuable pursuant to all such warrants or other rights or necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued and outstanding and the Company shall be deemed to have received all the consideration payable therefor, if any, as of the date of issuance of such warrants or other rights.  No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price(s) shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such warrants or other rights or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon such conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(ii)                                  If at any time the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such warrants or other rights or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be equal to or more than the Common Stock Purchase Price, but less than the Warrant Exercise Price, then the Warrant Exercise Price shall be adjusted downward to match the exercise price of such new warrants or other rights.

 

(e)                                  Superseding Adjustment.  If at any time after any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Exercise Price(s) shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(d) as the result of any issuance of warrants, rights or Convertible Securities,

 

(i)                                     such warrants or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Convertible Securities, shall expire, and all or a portion of such warrants or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion of such other Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall not have been exercised, or

 

(ii)                                  the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such warrants or rights, or the terms of such other Convertible Securities, shall be increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the occurrence of a specified date or event, then for each outstanding Warrant such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation.  Thereupon, a re-computation shall be made of the effect of such rights or options or other Convertible Securities on the basis of:

 

(A)                              treating the number of shares of Common Stock or other property, if any, theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of any such warrants or rights or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and

 

(B)                                treating any such warrants or rights or any such other Convertible Securities which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock or other property are issuable under such warrants or rights or other convertible Securities; whereupon a new adjustment of

 



 

the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Exercise Price(s) shall be made, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.

 

(f)                                    No adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least One Cent ($0.01) in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 6(f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.  All calculations under this Section 6(f) shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

 

(g)                                 The Company may retain a firm of independent public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Board (who may be the regular accountants employed by the Company) to make any computation required by this Section 6.

 

(h)                                 In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 6(a), (b) or (c) of this Warrant, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company’s capital stock, other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in Sections 6(a) through (h), inclusive, of this Warrant.

 

(i)                                     Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 6 shall be effected due to, or as a result of, any Permitted Issuances.

 



 

7.                                      REDEMPTION.

 

(a)                                  Redemption Option.  Upon the satisfaction of the Redemption Conditions, the Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors at any time following the Final Closing redeem all (but not less than all) of the Warrants, out of funds legally available therefor by paying the Redemption Price (as hereafter defined) in cash for each Warrant then redeemed.

 

(b)                                 Redemption Price.  The Redemption Price under this Section 7 shall be Five Cents ($.05) per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination or adjustment after the date hereof.

 

(c)                                  Notice.  Notice of any proposed redemption of the Warrants pursuant to this Section 7 shall be given by the Company by sending by certified mail, postage prepaid, a copy of such notice (the “Redemption Notice”) at least 30 days prior to the date on which it proposes to redeem the Warrants (the “Redemption Date”) to the holders of the Warrants including the Holder or any subsequent holder(s) of record of this Warrant, at their respective addresses appearing on the books of the Company or given by such holder(s) to the Company for the purposes of notice, or if no such address appears or is given, at the principal office of the Company.  Such notice shall state the Redemption Date to which such notice relates, the number of Warrants to be redeemed from all holders thereof and from the Holder of this Warrant, the Redemption Price per Warrant, the record date for purposes of such redemption and the date on which such holders’ right to exercise the Warrants will terminate, and shall call upon the Holders to surrender to the Company on said Redemption Date at the place designated in the notice such holder’s certificate or certificates representing the Warrants to be redeemed unless exercised prior to such date.

 

(d)                                 Payment.  On the Redemption Date, the funds legally available for redemption of the Warrants shall be used to redeem the Warrants from the holders thereof at the Redemption Price and the Company shall be obligated to pay the holder(s) the Redemption Price of the Warrants to the extent they have not been exercised as of such date.

 

(e)                                  Redemption Procedures.  On or after a Redemption Date, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, or its agent, at the place designated in the aforesaid notice and shall thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Price therefor. Upon payment of the Redemption Price each surrendered Warrant shall be cancelled.

 

(f)                                    Termination of Rights.  Notwithstanding that the Warrants so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, from and after the Redemption Date, all rights of the Holder of this Warrant and all other holders of Warrants shall forthwith cease and terminate, except  for right of the Holder to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender of this Warrant.

 

8.                                      OFFICER’S CERTIFICATE.  Whenever the Warrant Exercise Price(s) shall be adjusted as required by the provisions of Section 6 of this Warrant, the Company shall forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal office and with its stock transfer agent, if any, an officer’s certificate showing the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price(s) and the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, determined as herein provided, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment, including a statement of the number of additional shares of Common Stock, if any, and such other facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for and the manner of computing such adjustment.  Each such officer’s certificate shall be forwarded to the Holder in the manner provided in Section 13 hereof.

 



 

9.                                      NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS.  So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding, (a) if the Company shall pay any dividend or make any distribution upon Common Stock, or (b) if the Company shall offer to the holders of Common Stock for subscription or purchase by them any share of any class or any other rights, or (c) if any capital reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another entity, tender offer transaction for the Company’s Common Stock, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be effected, or (d) if the Company shall file a registration statement under the Securities Act, on any form other than on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form, then in any such case, the Company shall cause to be mailed by certified mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified in clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d), as the case may be, of this Section 9 a notice containing a brief description of the proposed action and stating the date on which (i) a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (ii) such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, tender offer transaction, conveyance, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock or other securities shall receive cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or (iii) such registration statement is to be filed with the SEC.

 

10.                               RECLASSIFICATION, REORGANIZATION OR MERGER. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary in which merger the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that (i) the Holder shall have the right thereafter by exercising this Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization and other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which could have been purchased upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and (ii) the successor or acquiring entity shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all obligations and liabilities hereunder (including but not limited to the provisions of Section 6 regarding the increase in the number of Warrant Shares potentially issuable hereunder).  Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 10 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.  In the event that in connection with any such capital reorganization or reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, additional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or payment, in whole or in part, for a security of the Company other than Common Stock, any such issue shall be treated as an issuance of Common Stock covered by the provisions of Section 6 of this Warrant.

 

11.                               TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.  This Warrant,  the Warrant Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant may not be sold or otherwise disposed of except as follows:

(b)                                 to any person upon delivery of a prospectus then meeting the requirements of the Securities Act relating to such securities and the offering thereof for such sale or disposition.

 

12.                               GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION.  The corporate laws of the State of [Delaware] shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its stockholders.  All issues concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of [Delaware] without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  The parties hereto agree that venue in any and all actions and proceedings related to the subject matter of this Warrant shall be in the state and federal courts in and for [County], [Delaware], which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction for such purpose, and the parties hereto irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding.  Service of process may be made in any manner recognized by such courts.  This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
