Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 24, 2017, Comarco, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “Comarco”, “us”, or the “Company”) submitted its appeal brief to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, disputing the findings of the previously disclosed February 22, 2017 decision of the Patent Trial Appeal Board (“PTAB”) in our patent infringement action against Apple, Inc. We anticipate that the multi-step appeal process will take several months to complete, and believe that it is in our shareholders’ best interests for us to see this appeal process through to completion. While we have reduced expenses considerably over the past months, quarters, and years, we required additional capital to complete the above-mentioned appeal process.

 

Therefore, on September 11, 2017, we entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with our two largest existing shareholders, Broadwood Partners, L.P. (“Broadwood”) and Elkhorn Partners Limited Partnership (“Elkhorn”), pursuant to which Broadwood and Elkhorn subscribed for and purchased 5,000,000 shares and 2,000,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (as such term is defined in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K) at a purchase price of $0.10 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $700,000. The Subscription Agreements also provide that upon the earlier of a Triggering Event (as described in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K) or immediately prior to the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (subject to the provisions of the Series A Preferred Stock), the Company will issue Broadwood and Elkhorn, for no additional consideration, warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 18,026,500 shares and 7,210,600 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”). If issued, the Warrants will have a term of eight years from the date of issuance and an exercise price of $0.05 per share of Common Stock. The Subscription Agreements and Warrants also contain other representations, warranties, and covenants customary for an investment of this type.

 

The Subscription Agreements and form of the Warrant are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing summaries of the Subscription Agreements and Warrants are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Subscription Agreements and form of the Warrant.

 

This Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and any such forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the following cautionary statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and are based on current expectations and involve a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this report. Additional factors that may affect our appeal of the PTAB’s decision or our infringement action against Apple, Inc. are described in the risk factors included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on May 1, 2017 (and amended on May 31, 2017), and later filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

 

Item 3.02.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The Company’s issuance of Series A Preferred Stock, as well as the right of Broadwood and Elkhorn to acquire the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, as described under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

  

The Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrants, and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (collectively, the “Securities”) have been offered for sale and have been or will be sold to Broadwood and Elkhorn, each of which is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. None of the Securities have been registered under the Securities Act or qualified under any applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent such registration and qualification or applicable exemptions therefrom.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

 

Item 3.03.

Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

The Company’s designation and issuance of Series A Preferred Stock as described under Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

 

 
 

 

 

Item 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On June 30, 2017, Janet Nguyen Gutkin ceased her consulting relationship with the Company and resigned as the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer. The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas W. Lanni, will fulfill the obligations of Chief Accounting Officer until the Company formally appoints a replacement to such office.

 

Item 5.03.

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

Pursuant to the Company’s articles of incorporation, the Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, which are issuable from time to time in one or more series as the Company’s Board of Directors may determine.

 

On February 7, 2003, the Company filed a Certificate of Determination of Series A Participating Preferred Stock with the California Secretary of State (the “2003 Certificate of Determination”), pursuant to which 80,000 shares of the Company’s authorized Preferred Stock were designated as Series A Participating Preferred Stock. No shares of Series A Participating Preferred Stock were ever issued by the Company. On August 29, 2017, the Company filed an Officers’ Certificate with the California Secretary of State (the “Certificate of Revocation”) revoking the Series A Participating Preferred Stock, such that the 2003 Certificate of Determination is no longer in force and the Series A Participating Preferred Stock is no longer an authorized series of Preferred Stock of the Company.

 

On September 6, 2017, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Determination of Preferences of Series A Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock with the California Secretary of State (the “2017 Certificate of Determination”), pursuant to which 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized Preferred Stock were designated as Series A Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”).

 

The Series A Preferred Stock accrues a cumulative, non-compounding dividend of five percent per annum. So long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, no dividends may be declared or paid on the Company’s Common Stock unless consented to in writing by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock is initially non-voting, except that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, is required in order for the Company to: (a) subject to certain exceptions, issue any additional shares of capital stock (regardless of class or series), (b) increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (c) amend or modify the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock, or (d) amend or modify the Company’s articles of incorporation in a manner that would adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock (including, without limitation, creating any class of security having rights senior to, or pari passu with, the Series A Preferred Stock). However, if any shareholder of the Company becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, then each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to voting rights equal to 1,000 shares of Common Stock on all matters submitted to the vote or approval of the holders of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

In the event of a liquidation, Deemed Liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company (subject to the provisions of the Series A Preferred Stock), holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, in preference to any amounts payable on account of the Company’s Common Stock, an amount per share equal to the Series A Preferred Stock purchase price of $0.10 per share, together with an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends attributable to the Series A Preferred Stock. As used in the 2017 Certificate of Determination, the term “Deemed Liquidation” includes, among other things, (a) the sale or transfer of 40% or more of the Company’s assets over any rolling 12-month period, (b) a merger, stock purchase or other business combination where a person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, or (c) any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of more of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

Immediately upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into one share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar transactions). As used in the 2017 Certificate of Determination, the term “Triggering Event” includes, among other things, (a) the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (or other court of appeals with appropriate jurisdiction) overturns the decision of the Patent Trial Appeal Board (“PTAB”) issued on February 22, 2017 (the “PTAB Decision”) regarding obviousness of the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 8,492,933 B2 (the “933 Patent”), (b) the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (or other court of appeals with appropriate jurisdiction) requires that the PTAB review and reconsider the PTAB Decision, (c) the United States Supreme Court issuing a decision in the case of Oil States Energy Services, LLC vs. Greene’s Energy Group, LLC (or in any subsequent case brought before the United States Supreme Court) that declares the Inter Partes Review process unconstitutional or otherwise reaching a decision resulting in the vacating or invalidity of the PTAB Decision, provided that such United States Supreme Court decision is made prior to a Court of Appeals action described in foregoing subparts (a) or (b), or (d) the Company receives cumulative incremental additional funds from any source, other than borrowings or the issuance of securities, after September 6, 2017, in an amount at or in excess of $700,000.

 

 

 

 

The Certificate of Revocation and the 2017 Certificate of Determination are attached as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing summary of the Certificate of Revocation, the 2017 Certificate of Determination and the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Certificate of Revocation and the 2017 Certificate of Determination.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority of the articles of incorporation, the corporation filed a Certificate of Determination of Preferences of Series A Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock on August 29, 2017, providing for the issue of a series of Preferred Stock of the corporation consisting of up to Seven Million (7,000,000) shares designated as “Series A Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock” with no par value per share;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the board of directors does hereby amend and restate the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to the Series A Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock as follows:

(iv)     The corporation consummates a stock purchase or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or more persons whereby such other persons acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by such other persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with, the other persons making or party to, such stock purchase or other business combination);

If the corporation has insufficient assets to permit payment of the Preference Amount in full to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock, then the assets of the corporation will be distributed ratably to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the Preference Amount each such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive. After the full Preference Amount on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, including all accumulated and unpaid dividends, has been paid, any remaining funds and assets of the corporation legally available for distribution to shareholders will be distributed pro rata among the holders of the Common Stock.

(b)     Valuation of Non-Cash Consideration. If any assets of the corporation distributed to shareholders in connection with any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the corporation are other than cash, then the value of such assets shall be their fair market value as determined in good faith by the board of directors and after the affirmative consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, except that any publicly-traded securities to be distributed to shareholders in a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the corporation shall be valued as follows:

 

(i)     if the securities are then traded on a national securities exchange, then the value of the securities shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the ten (10) trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the date of distribution to the corporation’s shareholders; or

 

(ii)     if the securities are actively traded over-the-counter, then the value of the securities shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices of the securities over the ten (10) trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the date of distribution to the corporation’s shareholders.

 

In the event of a merger or other acquisition of the corporation by another entity, the distribution date shall be deemed to be the date such transaction closes.

 

For the purposes of this Section 6(c), “trading day” shall mean any day which the exchange or system on which the securities to be distributed are traded is open and “closing prices” or “closing bid prices” shall be deemed to be: (i) for securities traded primarily on a national securities exchange, the last reported trade price or sale price, as the case may be, at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on that day and (ii) for securities listed or traded on other exchanges, markets and systems, the market price as of the end of the regular hours trading period that is generally accepted as such for such exchange, market or system. If, after the date hereof, the benchmark times generally accepted in the securities industry for determining the market price of a stock as of a given trading day shall change from those set forth above, the fair market value shall be determined as of such other generally accepted benchmark times.

 

(c)     No Necessity to Convert. For purposes of determining the proceeds each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 6, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted (regardless of whether such shares have actually been converted) in accordance with Section 7 into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation if, as a result of an actual conversion, such holder would receive, in the aggregate, proceeds greater than the amount that would be distributed to such holder if such Series A Preferred Stock were not converted into shares of Common Stock.

 

 
-5-

 

 

Section 7.     Conversion.

 

(a)     Automatic Conversion upon Triggering Event. Immediately upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically convert at the then applicable Conversion Rate into shares of Common Stock and all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall be paid as soon as practicable and in any event within 30 days after the Triggering Event. The corporation shall give the holders of Series A Preferred Stock written notice within four business days after the occurrence of a Triggering Event.

 

(b)     Mechanics of Conversion. Promptly upon receiving notice from the corporation of a Triggering Event, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such holders shares of Series A Preferred Stock, duly endorsed, at the office of the corporation. The corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter and in any event within 30 days thereafter, issue and deliver to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 7(a). Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the Triggering Event, and the holder entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date. Notwithstanding that the certificate or certificates evidencing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock have not been surrendered to the corporation, all rights with respect to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall forthwith cease and terminate, with the sole rights of the holder thereof being the right to receive shares of Common Stock resulting from the conversion thereof.

 

(c)     No Fractional Shares. The corporation shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from a conversion of a holder’s Series A Preferred Stock, but will make a payment in cash based on the Conversion Price for any fractional share.

 

(d)     Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Common Stock. If after the date of this Certificate of Determination the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided by stock split or otherwise into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. If after the date of this Certificate of Determination the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (by reverse stock split, reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased.

 

 
-6-

 

 

(e)     Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

 

Section 8.     Mandatory Redemption Provision. If any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding three years from the date of issuance, then on the date of that third anniversary, the corporation shall repurchase any outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at the Conversion Price and pay any accrued but unpaid Series A Preferred Stock dividends within five days of the repurchase date.

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Vice President and the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, of the corporation be, and they hereby are, authorized and directed to execute, acknowledge, file and record a certificate of determination of preferences in accordance with the foregoing resolution and the provisions of California law.

 

4.     The authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock of the corporation is 10,000,000, and the number of shares constituting Series A Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which has been issued, is 7,000,000.

 

The undersigned, Thomas W. Lanni, the Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of Comarco, Inc., further declares under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the matters set forth in this Certificate of Determination are true and correct and of his own knowledge.

 

Executed at Laguna Niguel, California on September 6, 2017.

(b)     If the Company’s Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or on the NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Capital Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE Alternext, but is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or in the over-the-counter market or Pink Sheets, then the last reported sale price (as reported on Bloomberg L.P.) of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the Determination Date;

 

(c)     Except as provided in clause (d) below and Section 3.1 hereof, if the Company’s Common Stock is not publicly traded, then the Fair Market Value shall be as Holder and the Company agree, or in the absence of such an agreement, by arbitration in accordance with the rules then standing of the American Arbitration Association, before a single arbitrator to be chosen from a panel of persons qualified by education and training to pass on the matter to be decided; or

 

(d)     If the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, then the Fair Market Value is equal to all such amounts to be payable per share to holders of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the certificate of incorporation in the event of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, plus all other amounts to be payable per share in respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the certificate of incorporation, assuming for the purposes of this clause (d) that all of the Shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants are outstanding at the Determination Date.

1.5.          Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the exercise of the Warrant, upon the request of Holder, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to Holder any rights to which Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If Holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to Holder any such rights.

 

1.6.          Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise; Buy-In. (a) The Company agrees that, provided the full exercise price listed in the Exercise Form is received in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof, the Shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to Holder as the record owner of such Shares as of the close of business on the date on which the Exercise Form is delivered and payment made for such Shares. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within three (3) business days thereafter (“Warrant Share Delivery Date”), the Company, at its sole expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes), will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to Holder, or as Holder (upon payment by Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Shares of Common Stock or Other Securities to which Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full Share of Common Stock, together with any other capital stock or other securities or property (including cash, where applicable) to which Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 hereof or otherwise. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares after the Warrant Share Delivery Date could result in economic loss to Holder. As compensation to Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to Holder for any late issuance of Warrant Shares after exercise of this Warrant the proportionate amount of $25 per business day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date for each $10,000 amount of the Exercise Price for which this Warrant is exercised which are not timely delivered. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in addition to any other remedies which may be available to Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, Holder may, in its sole and absolute discretion, revoke all or part of Holder’s Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the exercise of the relevant portion of this Warrant, except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the date of notice of revocation or rescission is delivered to the Company.

 

(b)     In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise for shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

1.7.         Automatic Exercise.   In the event this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 hereof on a cashless basis as of the close of the last trading day on or before the Expiration Date, then this Warrant, to the extent not previously unexercised and subject to the limitation in Section 9 of this Warrant, shall be deemed to have been automatically exercised without the requirement of any notice or delivery of the Exercise Form, pursuant to the terms of Section 2 of this Warrant.  Such Expiration Date will be deemed the exercise date for purposes of determining the Warrant Share Delivery Date and similar terms hereof.

 

2.            Exercise.

 

2.1         Payment upon exercise may be made at the option of Holder in its absolute discretion either in (i) wire transfer payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable aggregate Exercise Price, (ii) by delivery of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with Section (b) below, or (iii) by a combination of any of the foregoing methods, for the number of Common Stock specified in such form (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to Holder per the terms of this Warrant) and Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable Shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, payment upon exercise may be made in the manner described in Section 2.2 below commencing one year after the Issue Date, but only with respect to Warrant Shares not included for unrestricted public resale in an effective registration statement.

 

2.2         Subject to the provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled) by delivery of a properly endorsed Exercise Form delivered to the Company by any means described in Section 15 hereof, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X=Y (A-B)

          A

 

Where    X= the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder
     
 

Y=

the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)

 

 

A=

Fair Market Value

 

 

B=

Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

 

 
4

 

 

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction in the manner described above shall be deemed to have been acquired by Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued.

 

3.            Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.

 

3.1.       Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction (as defined herein) occurs, then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, Holder shall have the option to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of Holder in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by Holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event or (b) if the Company is acquired in (1) a transaction where the consideration paid to holders of the Common Stock consists solely of cash, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act or (3) a transaction involving a Person not traded on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market, cash equal to the Black-Scholes Value. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.1 and ensuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. “Black-Scholes Value” shall be determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg L.P. using (i) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the volume weighted average price (as determined by Bloomberg L.P.) (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (ii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of such request and (iii) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the trading day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction.

 

(a)           A Fundamental Transaction is defined as the occurrence of any of the following (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”):

 

(i)     The Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity where the other entity acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares in one or a series of related transactions;

 

 
5

 

 

(ii)      The Company effects any sale or transfer of 40% in the aggregate, in one or a series of related transactions, of the properties and assets of the Company to another Person(s) in any rolling twelve (12) month period;

 

(iii)     any purchase, exchange or tender offer (whether by the Company or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of an aggregate of 50% or more of the outstanding Shares of Common Stock of the Company are permitted to tender or exchange their Shares for other securities (whether of the Company or another Person), cash or property;

 

(iv)     The Company consummates a stock purchase or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or more persons whereby such other persons acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding Shares of Common Stock (not including any Shares of Common Stock held by such other persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with, the other persons making or party to, such stock purchase or other business combination);

 

(v)      any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, in one or a series of related transactions, of 50% or more of the aggregate Common Stock of the Company; or

 

(vi)     The Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any share exchange pursuant to which more than 50% of the Common Stock of the Company is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities (whether of the Company or another Person), cash or property. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser.

 

3.2        Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the Other Securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any Other Securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the Person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such Person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4 hereof.

 

4.          Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional Shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding Shares of Common Stock or (c) combine its outstanding Shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of Shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described in this Section 4. The number of Shares of Common Stock that Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of Shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise.

5.           Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the Shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company, at its sole expense, shall promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of the Exercise Price and the number of Shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to Holder and any Warrant Agent of the Company that is appointed pursuant to Section 10 hereof.

 

6.           Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant; Financial Statements.   The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrants, all Shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. This Warrant entitles Holder, upon written request, to receive copies of all financial and other information distributed or required to be distributed to holders of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

7.           Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby may be transferred by any registered Holder (a “Transferor”). On the surrender for exchange of the original of this Warrant, with the Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form”), and together with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the transfer of this Warrant will be in compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.

 

8.           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 any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

 

9.           [Reserved].

 

10.         Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to Holder, appoint an agent (a “Warrant Agent”) for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1 hereof, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7 hereof and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 8 hereof, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such Warrant Agent.

 

11.         Transfer on the Company’s Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered Holder as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

12.         Registration Rights.

 

12.1      Upon the request of the Holder (the “Request”), the Company shall prepare and, as soon as possible after the Request, but in no event later than the date that is forty-five (45) days after the Request, file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) registering the Warrant Shares. The Company shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible, but in no event later than one hundred and fifty (150) days from the date of the Request. The Company shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of all costs and expenses related to the registration of the Warrant Shares.

 

 
7

 

 

12.2      If a Registration Statement covering the Warrant Shares (i) is not filed with the SEC by the Company within forty-five (45) days after the date of the Request, or (ii) does not become effective within one hundred and fifty (150) days after the date of the Request and remain effective for the Registration Period (as hereinafter defined), the Company shall refund any and all costs and expenses related to the registration of the Warrant Shares previously paid by the Holder and the Company shall be liable for one hundred percent (100%) of such costs and expenses, and pay to the Holder $1,000 per day for the period during which one or more of these violations occurs. The Company agrees that it will not challenge or dispute Holder’s remedies set forth in this Section by asserting that such remedies constitute a penalty or should otherwise not be enforced as written.

 

12.3     The Company shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective until the earlier of (A) the date on which all of the Warrant Shares have been sold by the Holder, (B) the date on which all of the Warrant Shares become eligible for resale by the Holder without volume limitations pursuant to Rule 144 under the Exchange Act and (C) the date on which the Holder notifies the Company that keeping the Registration Statement effective is unnecessary (the “Registration Period”). The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such Registration Statement and any prospectus used in connection therewith, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times until the expiration of the Registration Period. The Company shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of all costs and expenses related to keeping such Registration Statement effective.

 

12.4     The Company shall, not less than three (3) business days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or any related prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (i) furnish to the Holder or any holder under this Agreement copies of the Registration Statement or prospectus proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of the Holder or any holder under this Agreement, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to conduct a reasonable investigation. Furthermore, the Company shall advise the Holder or any holder under this Agreement, within two (2) business days: (x) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for that purpose, or any other order issued by any state securities commission or other regulatory authority suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Warrant Shares under state securities or “blue sky” laws; and it will promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order or other order should be issued; and (y) when the prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective.

 

 
8

 

 

13.     Piggy-Back Registrations. If there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Warrant Shares and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to the Holder written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of such notice, the Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of the Warrant Shares such Holder requests to be registered, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights. To the extent not all of the Warrant Shares may be included for registration in the registration statement, as a result of the Commission’s application of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, priority in such registration statement will be given to the other Common Stock included therein in preference to the Warrant Shares except no preference shall be given to shares held by affiliates. The obligations of the Company under this Section may be waived by the Holder entitled to registration rights under this Section 13. The holders whose shares are included or required to be included in such registration statement are granted the same rights, benefits, liquidated or other damages and indemnification granted to other holders of securities included in such registration statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the registration rights granted to the Holder shall not be applicable for such times as such Warrant Shares may be sold by the Holder thereof without restriction pursuant to Section 144(b)(1) of the Securities Act. In no event shall the liability of the Holder or permitted successor in connection with any Warrant Shares included in any such registration statement be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Holder upon the sale of the Warrant Shares sold pursuant to such registration or such lesser amount applicable to other holders of securities included in such registration statement.

 

14.      Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions hereof shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

15.      Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be (i) personally served, (ii) deposited in the mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) delivered by reputable overnight air courier service with charges prepaid, or (iv) transmitted by hand delivery or facsimile, addressed as set forth below or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice in accordance with this Section. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be deemed effective (a) upon hand delivery or delivery by facsimile, with accurate confirmation generated by the transmitting facsimile machine, at the address or number designated below (if delivered on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received), or the first business day following such delivery (if delivered other than on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received), (b) on the first business day following the date of mailing by reputable overnight air courier service, fully prepaid, addressed to such address or (c) three (3) business days after in the mail or upon actual receipt of such mailing, whichever shall first occur. The addresses for such communications shall be:

No provision of this Warrant may be waived except by a written document executed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.
