1.2   Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the Share Delivery Date (as defined below):

 

(a) if the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) is not participating in The Depositary Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Transfer Program (“FAST”), the Company is not then required to have a Registration Statement (as defined below) available for the resale of Shares pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Company is otherwise unable to deliver (or to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) the Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable securities laws upon the advice of counsel, shall fail to issue and deliver (or to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate (which may be an electronic book entry statement) for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Shares on the Company’s share register;

 

(b) if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST and the Company is not otherwise prohibited from delivering the Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable securities laws upon the advice of counsel, shall fail to credit (or to cause the Transfer Agent to credit) the balance account of the Holder (or its designee) with DTC for such number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant ; or

 

(c) if a registration statement meeting the requirements set forth in Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement and covering the resale (as provided for in Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement) of the Shares by the Holder (a “Registration Statement”) that are the subject of the Notice of Exercise (the “Unavailable Warrant Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares and a Registration Statement is then required to be available pursuant to the terms of Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement, shall fail to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement, so notify the Holder and deliver (or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) the Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s (or its designee’s) balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in this clause (b) is herein referred as a “Notice Failure”; and each of the events described in the foregoing clause (a) and this clause (b) is herein referred to as a “Delivery Failure”),

 

then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and for so long as such Delivery Failure is continuing an amount equal to 2.0% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Shares not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Exercise Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Notice of Exercise with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as to the Shares that were the subject of such voided Notice of Exercise); provided, however, that the voiding of a Notice of Exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued up to but excluding the date of such notice of voiding pursuant to this Section 1.2 or otherwise.

 

2

 

 

(d) In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Date either (I) (a) the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST and the Company is not then required to have a Registration Statement available for the resale of Shares pursuant to the terms of Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement, and the Company shall fail to issue and deliver (or to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate (or electronic book entry statement) and register such Shares on the Company’s share register, or, (b) if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST or the Company is then required to have a Registration Statement available for the resale of Shares pursuant to the terms of Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall fail (or shall fail to cause to the Transfer Agent) to credit the balance account of the Holder (or its designee) with DTC for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Share Delivery Date the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of the Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of Shares issuable upon such exercise (i.e., equivalent to the Shares in respect of which an exercise has been made) that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Delivery Failure or Notice Failure, as applicable, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either

 

(i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of the Common stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or certificates (which may be an electronic book entry statement or statements) representing such Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder (or its designee)with DTC for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder and to issue such Shares (as the case may be) shall terminate, or

 

(ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates (which may be an electronic book entry statement or statements) representing such Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder (or its designee) with DTC for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Shares multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (ii).

 

Nothing shall limit the 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 the Shares (or to electronically deliver such Shares) upon the exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. In addition to the foregoing rights, (I) if the Company fails to deliver the applicable number of Shares upon an exercise pursuant to Section 1 by the applicable Share Delivery Date, then the Holder shall have the right to rescind such exercise in whole or in part and retain and/or have the Company return, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (including the Shares that were the subject of such rescinded exercise); provided, however that the rescission of an exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1.2 or otherwise, and (II) if a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Shares that are subject to a Notice of Exercise is not available, but is then required to be available pursuant to Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement for the resale of such Shares, and the Holder has submitted a Notice of Exercise prior to receiving notice of the non-availability of such Registration Statement and the Company has not already delivered the Shares underlying such Notice of Exercise electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s (or its designee’s) balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, the Holder shall have the option, by delivery of notice to the Company, to (x) rescind such Notice of Exercise in whole or in part and retain and/or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (including the Shares that were the subject of such rescinded exercise); provided, however, that the rescission of a Notice of Exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued up to but excluding the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1.2 or otherwise, and/or (y) switch some or all of such Notice of Exercise from a cash exercise to a Cashless Exercise.

1.3   Cashless Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.1 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, Holder shall have the right to elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised (“Cashless Exercise”). Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula:

 

X =(Y(A-B))/A

 

where:

 

X =the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder;

 

Y =the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price);

 

A =the fair market value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.4 below) of one Share; and

 

B =the Warrant Price.

 

If the Shares are issued in a Cashless Exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Shares take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the above-stated Issue Date (the “Issue Date”), it is intended that the Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and Credit Facility.

 

1.4   Fair Market Value.

 

(a) If the Common Stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market, the fair market value of a Share shall be the lesser of (i) the closing price or last sale price of a share of Common Stock reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company or (ii) the average closing price or last sale price of the Common Stock reported for the five (5) Business Days immediately before the date on which Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company (or, if the Shares have not been actively trading during the five (5) business days prior to the applicable date of determination, the last sale price of the Common Stock for the Business Day immediately prior to the applicable date of determination).

 

(b) If the fair market value cannot be calculated for a security as of the particular time of determination on any of the foregoing bases, the fair market value of such security as of such time of determination shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder.

 

(c) In the case of any dispute as to the determination of fair market value as determined in accordance with this Section 1.4, any closing price or sales price of the Shares, the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Price or the number of Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable, or any other computation required to be made hereunder (each a “Disputed Calculation”), the Company or the holder (as the case may be) (the “Disputing Party”) shall notify the other party (the “Responding Party”) of the dispute via electronic mail (A) if by the Company, within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute or (B) if by such holder at any time after such holder learned of the circumstances giving risk to such dispute. If the Disputing Party and the Responding Party are unable to properly resolve such dispute relating to such Disputed Calculation, or the arithmetic calculation of such Disputed Calculation (as the case may be), at any time after the fifth (5th) Business Days following such initial notice by the Disputing Party to the Responding Party, then the Disputing Party may select and submit to the Responding Party via electronic email a list of independent reputable investment banks to resolve such dispute (the “Disputing Party’s Selection List”). If the Responding Party objects to all such independent, reputable investment banks included in the Disputing Party’s Selection List, then the Responding Party may submit to the Disputing Party via electronic mail an alternative list of an independent, reputable investment banks (the “Responding Party’s Selection List”) within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the Disputing Party’s Selection List. If the Disputing Party objects to all such independent, reputable investment banks on the Responding Party’s Selection List, then the Disputing Party must notify the Responding Party via electronic mail of such objection within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the Responding Party’s Selection List (the “Selection Deadline”). Following which, each of the Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall select an independent, reputable investment bank within five (5) Business Days of the Selection Deadline (the “Alternative Selection Deadline”), and the two selected independent, reputable investment banks shall have five (5) Business Days from the Alternative Selection Deadline to select a third independent, reputable investment bank to resolve the dispute (the “Final Selection Deadline”). The Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall take all such reasonable steps necessary to jointly engage the appointed bank as shortly thereafter as reasonably possible, and in any event, within ten (10) Business Days of the selection.

(i) The Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall each deliver to the investment bank engaged pursuant to the procedures of Section 1.4(c) (A) a copy of the initial dispute submission so delivered in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 1.4(c) and (B) written documentation supporting such respective party’s position with respect to such dispute, in each case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) by the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the date on which such investment bank was engaged (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”) (the documents referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Dispute Documentation”) (it being understood and agreed that if either the Disputing Party and the Responding Party fails to raise any claims in the Required Dispute Documentation it submits by the Dispute Submission Deadline, then the party who fails to raise such claim in the Required Dispute Documentation shall no longer be entitled to (and hereby waives its right to) raise such claim to such investment bank with respect to such dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on claims raise in the Required Dispute Documentation that was delivered to such Third-Party Advisor prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Disputing Party and the Responding Party or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Disputing Party nor the Responding Party shall be entitled to deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such Third-Party Advisor in connection with such dispute (other than the Required Dispute Documentation).

 

(ii) The Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the investment bank engaged pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) to determine the resolution of such dispute and notify the Disputing Party and the Responding Party of such resolution no later than ten (10) Business Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline. Such investment bank’s determination of such disputed matter(s) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. The fees and expenses of such investment bank shall be borne solely by the Company.

 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.4(c), nothing in this Section 1.4(c) shall limit a holder’s right to pursue any and all remedies available to it, at law, in equity or otherwise, including, without limitation, any action seeking the entry of an order specifically enforcing the terms and conditions hereof, granting injunctive relief and/or awarding damages arising from any breach or threatened breach of this Section 1.4(c) or any other Section hereof. Any holder may choose to seek an alternative remedy in lieu of or in addition to effectuating the dispute resolution procedures provided in this Section 1.4(c) by providing written notice to the Corporation of its intent to do so at any time prior to the Selection Deadline.

 

1.5  Delivery of Shares. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of a Notice of Exercise with respect to less than all of the Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant (for the avoidance of doubt, containing the same terms, rights and conditions, as would be contained in a Warrant issued in compliance with Section 1.7) evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Shares underlying the Warrant. Execution and delivery of a Notice of Exercise for all of the then-remaining Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received a Notice of Exercise, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Notice of Exercise, in the form attached hereto as Appendix 2, to the Holder . On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received such Notice of Exercise (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Shares initiated on the applicable Exercise Date), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST and the Company is not otherwise prohibited from delivering the Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable securities laws upon advice of counsel, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s (or its designee’s) balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST and the Company is otherwise unable to deliver the Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable securities laws upon the advice of counsel, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier or electronic mail, as applicable) to the address as specified in the Notice of Exercise, a certificate (which may be an electronic book entry statement), registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of a Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates (or electronic book entry statements) evidencing such Shares (as the case may be). Notwithstanding that the Holder shall not be required to deliver or submit this Warrant in order effectuate an exercise, if the original of this Warrant is submitted in connection with an exercise pursuant to this Section 1 and the number of Shares represented by this Warrant is greater than the number of Shares being acquired upon such exercise and submission of this Warrant to the Company by the Holder, then, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after such exercise and submission and at the Company’s own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 1.7) representing the right to purchase a number of Shares equal to (i) the number of Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less (ii) the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is so exercised. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company’s failure to deliver Shares to the Holder on or prior to the later of (i) one (1) Trading Day after receipt of the applicable Notice of Exercise (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the Exchange Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Shares initiated on the applicable Exercise Date) and (ii) one (1) Trading Day after the Company’s receipt of the aggregate Warrant Price (or valid notice of a Cashless Exercise) (such later date, the “Share Delivery Date”) shall be a breach of this Warrant. From the Issue Date through and including the Expiration Date, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in FAST.

1.6  Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount in accordance with Section 1.7 below.

 

1.7  Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant (whether to the Holder or a transferee thereof), such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 1.6 or Section 4.5, the Shares underlying this Warrant designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of Shares underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issue Date, and (iv) shall have the same terms, rights and conditions as this Warrant.

 

1.8  Reservation of Shares.

 

(a) Required Reserve Amount. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock that is not less than 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under all of the Warrants (the “SPA Warrants”) then outstanding or issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Credit Facility (without regard to any limitations on exercise) (the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided, however, that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 1.8 be reduced other than proportionally to the number of Shares delivered in connection with any exercise of the SPA Warrants or such other event covered by Section 3.

 

(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 1.8(a), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the SPA Warrants remain outstanding, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock such that the Company shall have sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock in order to enable the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors (the “Board”) to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of two-thirds of the shares of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock in order to enable the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the Commission an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock upon an exercise of this Warrant due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorization Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorization Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the cancellation of such portion of this Warrant exercisable into such Authorization Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorization Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Notice of Exercise with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 1.8(b); plus (ii) to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Authorization Failure Shares, any Buy-In Price payment amount, brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing contained in this Section 1.8(b) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement. An Authorized Share Failure which remains uncured for more than thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days shall be an “Event of Default” under the Credit Facility.

 

1.9 Voting in Director Elections. At all times when the holders of preferred stock issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement have a right to appoint at least one (1) director, Holder agrees not to vote any shares of Common Stock it receives upon exercise of this Warrant in any election of directors.

SECTION 2.  PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

 

2.1 Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3 below, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Cap (as defined below)) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties (as defined below) exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Cap, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of such excess of the Beneficial Ownership Cap (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Cap, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

2.2  Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2 pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the Warrant Price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction). Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 2.1, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 2 hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 2.2 to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 2.1, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) (the “Corporate Event Consideration”). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.

2.3  Acceleration Redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing and the provisions of Section 2.2 above, at the request of the Holder delivered at any time after the occurrence of an acceleration under the Credit Facility, the Company or the Successor Entity (as the case may be) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder on the date of such request by paying to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the Closing Sale Price on the date of such request less the Warrant Price.

 

2.4  Equity Issuance Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not issue to any Holder, and no Holder may acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock upon any exercise of this Warrant to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (including shares held by any “group” of which such Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of any securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) (collectively, the “Attribution Parties”) (i) prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Credit Facility), would exceed 19.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding as of the Initial Funding Date and (ii) and following receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, would exceed 49.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (such percentage limits on the shares of Common Stock pursuant to (i) and (ii), the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”); provided, however, that the Beneficial Ownership Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by written notice to the Company, upon receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, any Holder may amend the Beneficial Ownership Cap percentage with respect to such Holder to any percentage that is lower than or equal to 49.9%. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the percentage held by any Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of a Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) trading days, confirm orally and in writing (which may be by e-mail) to such 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 any actual conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including Series B Preferred Stock (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and SPA Warrants, by such Holder or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or confirmed to the Holder.

 

SECTION 3.  ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.

 

3.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in Common Stock or other securities or property (including in the form of cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property (including cash) which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased, provided the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares shall remain the same. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased, provided the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares shall remain the same.

 

3.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Class are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, provided the aggregate Warrant Price of the Shares shall remain the same and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 3.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations, substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

3.3 Adjustment for Issuance of Applicable Shares.

 

(a)    Subject to the requirements of Section 3.3(b) below, if the Company shall issue or sell any Shares (other than shares included in the Excluded Issuances, as defined below) (the “Applicable Shares”), Options, warrants, Convertible Securities and similar instruments exercisable or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for Applicable Shares, in each case without consideration or for a consideration per Share initially deliverable upon issuance, conversion or exchange of such securities less than the quotient of (x) the product of (i) the fair market value (as calculated in accordance with Section 1.4) of the Common Stock on the Issue Date (as proportionately adjusted to account for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or other distributions and recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) (the “Original Price”) multiplied by (ii) the number Shares originally issuable upon exercise of this Warrant on the Issue Date (as adjusted to account for any transfers or exercises of this Warrant and as proportionately adjusted to account for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or other distributions and recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) divided by (y) the number of Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Original Issue Price Per Share”), then, effective immediately upon such issuance or sale, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such issuance or sale shall be increased (such number of additional Shares, the “Anti-dilution Shares”), and shall not be reduced, in accordance with the following formula:

 

S1 = S x [(OS + D) / (OS + PS)]

 

  S1 = new number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant

 

S =then applicable number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the issuance or sale

 

OS =the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such securities

 

D =the maximum number of Shares deliverable upon issuance of such securities

 

PS =the aggregate number of Shares which the aggregate amount of consideration received by the Company upon such issuance or sale would have purchased at the Original Issue Price Per Share.

 

(b) Prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall not be increased by Anti-dilution Shares in connection with any issuance or sale, however, provided, that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Series A-1 Liquidation Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designations for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock) of all of the outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be increased by the number of Anti-Dilution Shares that would otherwise be required to be added to the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant by this Section 3.3 in connection with such issuance or sale.

 

(c) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Options, warrants, Convertible Securities and similar instruments exercisable or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for Applicable Shares (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares issuable under this Warrant shall be readjusted to such number of shares as would have been issuable had such Options, warrants, Convertible Securities and similar instruments exercisable or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for Applicable Shares (or portion thereof) never been issued.

3.4 Exceptions to Adjustments. Except as specifically provided for herein, there shall be no adjustment or readjustment to the number of Shares issuable in the following circumstances (each of the following, an “Excluded Issuance”): (1) securities issued to the Company’s lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement or Securities Purchase Agreement or upon the conversion of preferred stock issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement or Securities Purchase Agreement or the exercise of this Warrant or any of the other SPA Warrants; (2) upon conversion, exercise or exchange of securities, including convertible debt securities and convertible debt securities issued as payment-in-kind interest thereon, outstanding prior to the Initial Closing Date (as defined in the Credit Facility); (3) pursuant to agreements in effect as of the Initial Closing Date (provided that such agreements are not amended after the Initial Closing Date to increase the number of securities, reduce the consideration payable in connection with such securities, or otherwise change the terms of such agreements so as to have a dilutive effect on this Warrant); and (4) pursuant to the Company’s management, directors or other service providers as part of compensation and incentive programs approved by the Board.

 

3.5 Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3.5 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features that is not an Excluded Issuance) occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 3; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall increase the Warrant Price or decrease the number of the Shares issuable hereunder.

 

3.6 No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (a) the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.4 above) of a full Share, less (b) the then-effective Warrant Price.

 

3.7 Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.

(b) Automatic Cashless Exercise upon Expiration. In the event that, upon the Expiration Date, the fair market value of one Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.4 above is greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.3 above as to all Shares (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and the Company shall, within a reasonable time, deliver a certificate representing the Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to Holder (and if the Company’s shares are uncertificated, the Company shall deliver reasonably satisfactory evidence to the Holder signifying the valid issuance of such uncertificated shares) in accordance with Section 1.5 above.
