Item 1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

 

On October 27, 2020, the Board of Directors of The LGL Group, Inc. (the “Company”) authorized the distribution of warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), to holders of Common Stock on November 9, 2020 (the “Record Date”). Holders of Common Stock on the Record Date will be entitled to receive one (1) Warrant for each share of Common Stock owned. When exercisable, five (5) Warrants will entitle their holder to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at the Exercise Price (as defined below).

 

The Warrants will be issued pursuant to the terms of a Warrant Agreement, dated as of November 10, 2020 (the “Warrant Agreement”), among the Company, Computershare Inc., and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (collectively, the “Warrant Agent”). The following summary of certain provisions of the Warrants and the Warrant Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Agreement, filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Registration Statement on Form 8-A and incorporated by reference herein.

 

Exercisability

Five (5) Warrants entitle their registered holder to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at the Exercise Price. The Warrants are “European style warrants” and will only become exercisable on the earlier of (i) November 16, 2025 (the “Expiration Date”), and (ii) such date that the 30-day volume weighted average price per share (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock is greater than or equal to $17.50 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassifications and similar events). Once the Warrants become exercisable, they may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement until their expiration at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date.

The Company will monitor the VWAP of the Common Stock. Within four business days after the first trading day after the issuance of the Warrants on which the Common Stock has an average VWAP for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to such date that is greater than or equal to $17.50, the Company will instruct the Warrant Agent to give all Warrant holders notice that the Warrants may become exercisable on a date prior to the Expiration Date and to provide instructions on how to exercise Warrants if and when they become exercisable. The Company will issue a press release and file a Current Report on Form 8-K to notify the public if the Warrants become exercisable because the average VWAP for the Common Stock for 30 consecutive trading days is greater than or equal to $17.50 promptly, but no later than three business days after the Warrants become exercisable.

If the Warrants become exercisable because the average VWAP for the Common Stock for 30 consecutive trading days is greater than or equal to $17.50, and not less than six weeks prior to the Expiration Date, the Warrant Agent will notify DTC and mail to each Warrant holder exercise forms detailing the terms and procedure for exercise of the Warrants. As Warrants are exercised, the Warrant Agent will deliver the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants to stockholders and forward the proceeds from the Warrant exercises to the Company.

 

 

No Warrants will be exercisable unless at the time of exercise a prospectus relating to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is current and the Common Stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the Warrants. Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Company has agreed to meet these conditions and use its best efforts to maintain a current prospectus relating to Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the expiration of the Warrants. However, the Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to do so, and if the Company does not maintain a current prospectus related to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their Warrants and the Company will not be required to settle any such Warrant exercise. If the prospectus relating to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants is not current or if the Common Stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the Warrants reside, the Company will not be required to net cash settle or cash settle the Warrant exercise, the Warrants may have no value, the market for the Warrants may be limited and the Warrants may expire worthless.

Exercise Price and Adjustments

The Warrants have an initial exercise price of $12.50 per share (the “Exercise Price”). Subject to certain excluded transactions, the Warrants provide for adjustments to the Exercise Price following a number of corporate events, including (i) the Company’s issuance of a stock dividend or the subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, (ii) the Company’s issuance of rights, options or warrants to purchase Common Stock for no consideration or for consideration at less than the market price of the Common Stock immediately preceding the announcement date of the issuance, (iii) a distribution of capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary other than the Common Stock, rights to acquire such capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets, (iv) the Company’s issuance of a cash dividend on the Common Stock, (v) certain tender offers for the Common Stock by the Company or one or more of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and (vi) adjustments in the Board’s discretion, subject to certain notice requirements. The Warrants also provide for adjustments to the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are exercisable following the Company’s issuance of a stock dividend or the subdivision or combination of the Common Stock.

Business Combination or Reclassification of Common Stock

If, at any time Warrants are outstanding there is: (i) any business combination (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) or (ii) reclassifications of Common Stock (other than as contemplated above), the right to exercise a Warrant for Common Stock shall be converted into the right to exercise a Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) that the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such business combination or reclassification) upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such business combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such business combination or reclassification.

 

 

Manner of Exercise

The Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to the Warrant Agent a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of the Common Stock purchased upon such exercise. The Warrants are exercisable for cash only.

Transferability of Warrants

The Warrants will be issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement. The Warrants may be sold, transferred or assigned, in whole or in part.

Fractional Shares

Warrants may be exercised only for whole numbers of shares of Common Stock. Whenever any fraction of a share of Common Stock would otherwise be required to be issued or distributed, the actual issuance or distribution made shall reflect a rounding of such fraction up or down, as applicable, to the nearest whole share.

Rights as a Stockholder

Until Warrant holders acquire shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, Warrant holders will have no rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying such Warrants. Upon the acquisition of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, the holders thereof will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date for the matter occurs after the exercise date of the Warrants.

In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance. All of the Warrants shall initially be represented by one or more book-entry certificates (each a “Book-Entry Warrant Certificate”). Unless and until countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a Warrant shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by a Holder (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything else herein to the contrary, the Warrants may be issued in uncertificated form.

 

Section 4Registration

 

The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (“Warrant Register”), for the registration of the original issuance and the registration of any transfer of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrants in the names of the respective Holders (as defined below) in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company. To the extent the Warrants are DTC (as defined below) eligible as of the Issuance Date, all of the Warrants shall be represented by one or more Book-Entry Warrant Certificates deposited with The Depository Trust Company (the “Depository” or “DTC”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of the Depository. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Warrant Certificates shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained (i) by the Depository or its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate; (ii) by institutions that have accounts with the Depository (such institution, with respect to a Warrant in its account, a “Participant”); or (iii) directly on the book-entry records of the Warrant Agent with respect only to owners of beneficial interests that represent such direct registration.

 

 3

 

 

If the Warrants are not DTC eligible as of the Issuance Date or the Depository subsequently ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Warrants, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent to make other arrangements for book-entry settlement within ten (10) Business Days after the Depository ceases to make its book-entry settlement available. In the event that the Company does not make alternative arrangements for book-entry settlement within ten (10) Business Days or the Warrants are not eligible for, or it is no longer necessary to have the Warrants available in, book-entry form, the Warrant Agent shall, upon written instructions from the Company, provide written instructions to the Depository to deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, and the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent to deliver to the Holders definitive Warrant Certificates in physical form evidencing such Warrants. Such definitive Warrant Certificates shall be in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto.

 

Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Warrant shall be registered upon the Warrant Register (“registered holder”), as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the Warrant Certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Any person in whose name ownership of a beneficial interest in the Warrants evidenced by a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate is recorded in the records maintained by the Depository or its nominee shall be deemed the “beneficial owner” thereof; provided, that all such beneficial interests shall be held through a Participant which shall be the registered holder of such Warrants. As used herein, the term “Holder” refers only to a registered holder of the Warrants.

 

Section 5Transfer, Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Warrant Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Warrant Certificates

 

(a)               Subject to the provisions of Section 13 hereof and the last sentence of this first paragraph of Section 5 and subject to applicable law, rules or regulations, restrictions on transferability that may appear on Warrant Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof or any “stop transfer” instructions the Company may give to the Warrant Agent in writing, at any time after the Close of Business on the date hereof, at or prior to the Close of Business on the Expiration Date, any Warrant Certificate(s) may be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged for another Warrant Certificate(s), entitling the registered holder to purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock as the Warrant Certificate(s) surrendered then entitled such holder to purchase. Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request for exchange or transfer reasonably acceptable to Warrant Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof, or by a duly authorized attorney, together with any other reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent which requirements, for any transfers, shall include reasonable evidence of authority to transfer. Such evidence of authority shall include a signature guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association, and any other reasonable evidence of authority that may be required by the Warrant Agent. Thereupon, subject to the last sentence of this first paragraph of Section 5, the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that except as otherwise provided herein or in any Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate may be transferred only in whole and only to the Depository, to another nominee of the Depository, to a successor depository, or to a nominee of a successor depository; provided further, however, that in the event that a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange therefor until the Warrant Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend. Upon any such registration of transfer, the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of any authorized denomination evidencing in the aggregate a like number of unexercised Warrants. The Company or Warrant Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, split up, combination or exchange of Warrant Certificates, together with reimbursement to the Company and the Warrant Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto.

 

 4

 

 

(b)               The Warrant Agent shall issue replacement Warrant Certificates for those alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of an open penalty surety bond or other indemnity satisfactory to it and holding it and the Company harmless, absent notice to the Warrant Agent that such Warrant Certificates have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and reimbursement to the Company and the Warrant Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto. The Warrant Agent may, at its option, issue replacement Warrant Certificates for mutilated certificates upon presentation thereof without such indemnity. The Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or charge that may be imposed in connection with any such exchange. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment of taxes and/or charges unless and until it is satisfied that all such taxes and/or charges have been paid.

 

(c)               The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer and any evidence of authority that may be required by the Warrant Agent, including but not limited to, a signature guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. The Warrants so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon request.

Section 6Exercise of Warrants; Exercise Price; Expiration Date

 

(a)               The Warrants shall be exercisable commencing upon the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date, or (ii) the date on which the average VWAP for the Common Stock for the consecutive 30 Trading Days immediately prior to such date is greater than or equal to $17.50 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassifications and similar events) (the “Effective Date”). The Warrants shall cease to be exercisable and shall terminate and become void, and all rights thereunder and under this Agreement shall cease, at the Close of Business on the Expiration Date. The period between the Effective Date and the Close of Business on the Expiration Date is referred to herein as the “Exercise Period”. Subject to the foregoing, a Holder may exercise a Warrant by delivering, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day during the Exercise Period to the Warrant Agent at its office designated for such purpose (i) the Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants to be exercised, or, in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, the Warrants to be exercised (the “Book-Entry Warrants”) shown on the records of the Depository to an account of the Warrant Agent at the Depository designated for such purpose in writing by the Warrant Agent to the Depository from time to time, (ii) an election to purchase the Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants to be exercised (an “Election to Purchase”), properly completed and duly executed by the Holder on the reverse of the Warrant Certificate or, in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, properly delivered by the Participant in accordance with the Depository’s procedures, and (iii) the Exercise Price for each Warrant to be exercised in lawful money of the United States of America by certified or official bank check or by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds. The Warrant Agent shall forward funds received for Warrant exercises in a given month by the 5th Business Day of the following month by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company. The date on which any Warrant is exercised or deemed to have been exercised (in accordance with Section 6(b), as applicable) is referred to as the “Exercise Date.”

 

(b)               If any of (i) the Warrant Certificate or the Book-Entry Warrants, (ii) the Election to Purchase, or (iii) the Exercise Price therefor, is received by the Warrant Agent after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the immediately succeeding Business Day. If the date specified as the exercise date is not a Business Day, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day. If the Warrants are received or deemed to be received after the Close of Business on the Expiration Date, the exercise thereof will be null and void and any funds delivered to the Warrant Agent will be returned to the Holder. In no event will interest accrue on funds deposited with the Warrant Agent in respect of an exercise or attempted exercise of Warrants. The validity of any exercise of Warrants will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion and such determination will be final and binding upon the Holder and the Warrant Agent. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall have any obligation to inform a Holder of the invalidity of any exercise of any Warrants.

 

 6

 

 

(c)               The Warrant Agent shall, for Book-Entry Warrant Certificates, within three Business Days following the Exercise Date, advise the Company or the transfer agent and registrar in respect of (i) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) the instructions of each Holder with respect to delivery of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, and the delivery of definitive Warrant Certificates, as appropriate, evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants remaining after such exercise, (iii) in case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, the notation that shall be made to the records maintained by the Depository, its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, or a Participant, as appropriate, evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants remaining after such exercise and (iv) such other information as the Company or such transfer agent and registrar shall reasonably require.

 

(d)               The Company shall, by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, execute, issue and deliver to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Shares to which such Holder is entitled, in fully registered form, registered in such name or names as may be directed by such Holder. Within three Business Days of receipt of the Warrant Shares, the Warrant Agent shall transmit such Warrant Shares to, or upon the order of, such Holder.

 

(e)               In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of any Warrants, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise to the Depository by crediting the account of the Depository or of the Participant, as the case may be, through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. The time periods for delivery described in the immediately preceding paragraph shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein.

 

(f)                Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Warrant Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is available for delivery to the Holders or (ii) in the opinion of counsel to the Company, the exercise of the Warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such securities are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions in which the Holder resides. Warrants may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any Holder in any state in which such exercise or issuance would be unlawful. In the event a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Warrant Shares is not effective or a prospectus is not available, or because such exercise would be unlawful with respect to a Holder in any state, the Holder shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrants and such Warrants may have no value and expire worthless. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act of the Warrant Shares and ensure that a prospectus is available for delivery to the Holders until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to register the Warrant Shares under the blue sky laws of the states of residence of exercising Holders, if permitted by the blue sky laws of such jurisdictions, in the event that an exemption is not available.

 

 7

 

 

(g)               In the event of any exercise, the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent to record cost basis for newly issued Warrant Shares as reasonably determined by the Company promptly after such exercise and prior to processing by Warrant Agent.

 

Section 7Cancellation and Destruction of Warrant Certificates

 

All Warrant Certificates surrendered for the purpose of exercise, transfer, split up, combination or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or to any of its agents, be delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation or in canceled form, or, if surrendered to the Warrant Agent, shall be canceled by it, and no Warrant Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Warrant Agent shall so cancel and retire, any other Warrant Certificate purchased or acquired by the Company otherwise than upon the exercise thereof. The Warrant Agent shall deliver all canceled Warrant Certificates to the Company, or shall, at the written request of the Company, destroy such canceled Warrant Certificates, and in such case shall deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company, subject to any applicable law, rule or regulation requiring the Warrant Agent to retain such canceled certificates.

 

Section 8Certain Representations; Reservation and Availability of Shares of Common Stock or Cash

 

(a)               This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the Warrant Agent, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, and the Warrants have been duly authorized, executed and issued by the Company and, assuming due authentication thereof by the Warrant Agent pursuant hereto, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits hereof; in each case except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

 8

 

 

(b)               As of October 15, 2020, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 5,213,320 shares are issued and 5,213,320 shares are outstanding, 1,051,664 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants and not more than 417,787 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of employee stock. There are no other outstanding obligations, warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase from the Company any class of capital stock of the Company.

 

(c)               The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or its authorized and issued shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, free from preemptive rights, the number of shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants.

 

(d)               The Warrant Agent will create a special account for the issuance of Warrants and Warrant Shares. The Company shall provide an opinion of counsel prior to the Issuance Date to set up a reserve of Warrants and Warrant Shares. The opinion shall state that:

 

(i)the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are registered under the Securities Act, or are exempt from such registration, and all appropriate state securities law filings have been made with respect to the Warrants and the Warrant Shares;

 

(ii)the Warrants are duly authorized, and, when issued and distributed by the Company in accordance with and in the manner described in the registration statement and the prospectus supplement, the Warrants will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and

 

(iii)the Warrant Shares are duly authorized, and, when issued and sold by the Company and delivered by the Company against receipt of the exercise price therefor, in accordance with and in the manner described in the registration statement, the prospectus supplement and the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

(e)               The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and charges which may be payable in respect of the original issuance or delivery of the Warrants or Warrant Shares. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or governmental charge which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the transfer or delivery of Warrant or the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant evidencing Warrants surrendered for exercise or to issue or deliver any certificate for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any Warrants until any such tax or governmental charge shall have been paid (any such tax or governmental charge being payable by the holder of such Warrant at the time of surrender) or until it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no such tax or governmental charge is due.

Section 9Common Stock Record Date

 

Each Person in whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued upon the exercise of Warrants shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record for the Common Stock represented thereby on, and such certificate shall be dated, the date upon which the Warrants were duly surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price (and any applicable transfer taxes) was made; provided, however, that if the date of such surrender and payment is a date upon which the Common Stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the record holder of such shares on, and such certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding day on which the Common Stock transfer books of the Company are open.

 

Section 10Adjustment of Exercise Price, Number of Shares of Common Stock or Number of Warrants

 

The Exercise Price, the number of shares covered by each Warrant and the number of Warrants outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 10.

 

(a)               Dividends, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. The issuance of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all holders of Common Stock, or a subdivision or reclassification of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or the combination of or reclassification of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, in which event the Exercise Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

EP1= EP0 x (OS0 / OS1)

 

Where

 

EP0= the Exercise Price in effect at the Close of Business on the record date

 

EP1= the Exercise Price in effect immediately after the record date

 

OS0= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Close of Business on the record date prior to giving effect to such event

 

OS1= the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, such event

 

Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this subsection (a), each Warrant shall thereupon evidence the right to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment upon exercise of the Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

 

 10

 

 

(b)               Certain Issuances of Convertible Securities. The issuance to all holders of Common Stock of rights, options or warrants entitling them to purchase shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for consideration at less than the Market Price ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date of the issuance, in which event the Exercise Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

EP1= EP0 x (OS0 + Y) / (OS0 + X)

 

where,

 

EP0= the Exercise Price in effect at the Close of Business on the record date

 

EP1= the Exercise Price in effect immediately after the record date

 

OS0= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Close of Business on the record date

 

X= the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants

 

Y= the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the Market Price ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants

 

If such rights, options or warrants are not issued, the Exercise Price will remain the same as had a record date for such distribution not been fixed. Additionally, to the extent that Common Stock is not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Exercise Price will be readjusted to be the Exercise Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.

 

In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle their holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares, there shall be taken into account, among other things, any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on the exercise or conversion thereof, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors (which good faith determination shall be conclusive and binding).

 

 11

 

 

(c)               Other Distributions. The dividend or other distribution to all holders of Common Stock of shares of capital stock of the Company or a subsidiary (other than Common Stock), rights to acquire capital stock of the Company or a subsidiary or evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or the Company’s assets (excluding any dividend, distribution or issuance covered by clauses (a) or (b) above or (d) or (e) below) in which event the Exercise Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

EP1= EP0 x (SP0 — FMV) / SP0

 

where,

 

EP0= the Exercise Price in effect at the Close of Business on the record date

 

EP1= the Exercise Price in effect immediately after the record date

 

SP0= the Market Price as of the record date

 

FMV= the Fair Market Value, on the record date, of the shares of capital stock, rights to acquire capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed, expressed as an amount per share of Common Stock

 

However, if the transaction that gives rise to an adjustment pursuant to this subsection (c) is one pursuant to which the payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock consists of shares of capital stock of, or similar equity interests in, a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “spin-off”), that are, or, when issued, will be, traded on a Trading Market, then the Exercise Price will instead be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

EP1= EP0 x MP0 / (FMV0 + MP0)

 

where,

 

EP0= the Exercise Price in effect at the Close of Business on the record date

 

EP1= the Exercise Price in effect immediately after the record date

 

FMV0= the average of the VWAP of the capital stock or similar equity interests distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the third Trading Day after the date on which “ex-distribution trading” commences for such dividend or distribution with respect to the Common Stock on the NYSE American or such other Trading Market that is at that time the principal market for the Common Stock

 

MP0= the average of the VWAP per share of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the third Trading Day after the date on which “ex-distribution trading” commences for such dividend or distribution with respect to the Common Stock on the NYSE American or such other Trading Market that is at that time the principal market for the Common Stock

 

 12

 

 

The adjustment of the Exercise Price under this subsection (c) will be made immediately after the open of business on the day after the last day of the valuation period, but will be given effect as of the open of business on the Business Day immediately following the record date for any spin-off. For purposes of determining the Exercise Price in respect of any exercise during a valuation period, references within the portion of this subsection (c) related to spin-offs to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of consecutive Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the ex-dividend date of such spin-off to, but excluding, the Exercise Date.

 

If any dividend or distribution described in this subsection (c) results in an adjustment to the Exercise Price but such dividend or distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price will be readjusted to be the Exercise Price that would then be in effect had such dividend or distribution not been declared.

 

(d)               Cash Distributions. The Company makes a distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all holders of Common Stock, excluding (i) any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in clause (c) above, and (ii) any consideration payable in connection with a tender offer referred to in clause (e) below, in which event, the Exercise Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

EP1= EP0 x (SP0 – C)/ SP0

 

where,

 

EP0= the Exercise Price in effect at the Close of Business on the record date

 

EP1= the Exercise Price in effect immediately after the record date

 

SP0= the Market Price as of the record date

 

C= the amount in cash per share distributed to holders of the Common Stock

 

If any distribution described in this subsection (d) results in an adjustment to the Exercise Price but such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price will be readjusted to be the Exercise Price that would then be in effect had such distribution not been declared.

 

 13

 

 

(e)               Certain Repurchases. If the Company or one or more of its wholly owned subsidiaries purchases Common Stock in a tender offer subject to Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act (not including any exchange offer pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act) where (i) the number of shares purchased in such tender offer exceeds 30% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last date on which tenders may be made pursuant to such tender offer (the “offer expiration date”) and (ii) the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock validly tendered exceeds the average VWAP for the Common Stock for the consecutive 10 Trading Days commencing with the Trading Day immediately after the offer expiration date, in which event the Exercise Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

EP1= EP0 x (SP1 x OS0) / (FMV + (SP1 x OS1))

 

where,

 

EP0= the Exercise Price in effect at the Close of Business on the offer expiration date

 

EP1= the Exercise Price in effect immediately after the offer expiration date

 

FMV= the Fair Market Value, on the offer expiration date, of the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration paid or payable for shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the offer expiration date (the “Purchased Shares”)

 

OS1= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the last time tenders may be made pursuant to such tender offer (the “Expiration Time”) less any Purchased Shares

 

OS0= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Expiration Time, including any Purchased Shares

 

SP1= the average VWAP for the Common Stock for the consecutive 10 Trading Days commencing with the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Time

 

The adjustment of the Exercise Price under this subsection (e) will be made at the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the offer expiration date, but will be given effect as of the open of business on the Business Day following the offer expiration date. For purposes of determining the Exercise Price in respect of any exercise during the 10 Trading Days commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the offer expiration date, references within this subsection (e) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the offer expiration date to, but excluding, the Exercise Date.

 

 14

 

 

If the Company or one or more of its wholly owned subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all or any portion of such purchases are rescinded, the Exercise Price will be readjusted to be the Exercise Price that would then be in effect had such tender offer not been made, or had only been made in respect of the purchases that had been effected.

 

(f)                Other Adjustments. In addition, the Company may, but shall not be required to, make such decreases in the Exercise Price, in addition to those required by this Section 10, as the Company’s Board of Directors considers to be advisable for any reason, including, without limitation, in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Common Stock or to any Holders of Warrants resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason; so long as the Company establishes a minimum period of ten business days within which such price reduction will be in effect.

 

(g)               Record Date. For the purpose of this Section 10, “record date” means, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of the Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of holders of the Common Stock entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board or by statute, contract or otherwise).

 

(h)               Adjustment Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, if an event occurs that would trigger an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 10 under more than one subsection hereof, such event, to the extent fully taken into account in a single adjustment, shall not result in multiple adjustments hereunder.

 

(i)                 Calculation of Adjustments. All calculations under the foregoing paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) shall be made to the nearest cent. No adjustment of the Exercise Price need be made under the foregoing paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) if such adjustment (together with any other carried-forward adjustments under this subsection (i)) would amount to a change in the Exercise Price of less than 1.0%; provided, however, that if an adjustment is not made by reason of this subsection (i), such amount shall be carried forward and taken into account at the time of any subsequent adjustment in the Exercise Price.

 

(j)                 Excluded Transactions. No adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price that would reduce the Exercise Price below the par value per share of Common Stock.

 

In addition, no adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be made:

 

(i)as consideration for or to fund the acquisition by the Company of businesses and/or assets constituting a significant part of a business;

 

(ii)in connection with a broadly marketed offering and sale of Common Stock or convertible securities for cash;

 

 15

 

 

(iii)upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares or any other award that relates to or has a value derived from the value of the Common Stock or other securities of the Company, in each case issued pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

 

(iv)for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock; or

 

(v)upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or other security exercisable for, or exchangeable or convertible into, Common Stock that was outstanding as of the date the Warrants were first issued.

 

(k)               Adjustment to Warrant Certificates. Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, the Warrant Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the Exercise Price per share and the number of shares which were expressed upon the initial Warrant Certificates issued hereunder. The Company, however, may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant Certificates that it may deem appropriate to give effect to such adjustments and that does not affect the substance of the Warrant Certificates or the rights, duties, liabilities or protections of the Warrant Agent, and any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for any outstanding Warrant Certificates or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed. For the avoidance of doubt, no change to the Warrant Certificates or this Agreement as a result of an adjustment pursuant to this Section 10 shall require the consent of the Holders of the Warrants or the Warrant Agent.

 

Section 11Certification of Adjusted Exercise Price or Number of Shares of Common Stock; Notification of Exercise Period and Expiration Date

 

(a)               Whenever any adjustment is made pursuant to Section 10 or 12, the Company shall cause notice of such adjustment to be mailed to the Warrant Agent within fifteen days thereafter, such notice to include in reasonable detail (i) the events precipitating the adjustment, (ii) the computation of any adjustments, and (iii) the Exercise Price, the number of shares or the securities or other property purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment. The calculations, adjustments and determinations included in the Company’s notice shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders. The Warrant Agent shall be entitled to rely on such notice and any adjustment therein contained and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any such adjustment unless and until it shall have received such notice. The Warrant Agent shall, within fifteen days after receipt of such notice from the Company (which notice must specifically direct the Warrant Agent to perform the mailing), cause a similar notice to be mailed to each Holder.

 

 16

 

 

(b)               The Company will monitor the VWAP of the Common Stock. Within four (4) Business Days after the first Trading Day after the Issuance Date on which the Common Stock has an average VWAP for the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to such date that is greater than or equal to $17.50, the Company will instruct the Warrant Agent to give all Holders notice that the Exercise Period may commence on a date prior to the Expiration Date and to provide instructions on how to exercise Warrants if and when they become exercisable. The Company will issue a press release and file a Current Report on Form 8-K to notify the public if the Exercise Period commences because the average VWAP for the Common Stock for 30 consecutive Trading Days is greater than or equal to $17.50 promptly, but in no less than three Business Days after the Exercise Period commences. The Company shall notify the Warrant Agent in writing of the commencement of the Exercise Period and the Warrant Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the commencement of the Exercise Date unless and until it shall have received such notice.

 

(c)               If the Warrants become exercisable on or prior to the date that is six (6) weeks prior to the Expiration Date because the average VWAP for the Common Stock for 30 consecutive Trading Days is greater than or equal to $17.50, then the Warrant Agent will, upon written instruction from the Company, notify DTC and transmit to each Holder exercise forms detailing the terms and procedure for exercise of the Warrants. As Warrants are exercised, the Company’s transfer agent will deliver the Warrant Shares issued therefor to stockholders and the Warrant Agent shall forward the proceeds from the Warrant exercises to the Company in accordance with Section 6(b).

 

Section 12Reclassification, Consolidation, Purchase, Combination, Sale or Conveyance

 

In case of any Business Combination or reclassification of Common Stock (other than a reclassification of Common Stock referred to in Section 10), the Holder’s right to receive shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant shall be converted into the right to exercise a Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) that the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such Business Combination or reclassification) upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Business Combination or reclassification (the amount of such shares, other securities or property in respect of a share of Common Stock being herein referred to as a “Unit of Reference Property”); and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be achievable, to the Holder’s right to exercise such Warrant in exchange for a Unit of Reference Property pursuant to this paragraph. If the Business Combination causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then the composition of the Unit of Reference Property into which the Warrants will be exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock per share of Common Stock. For the purposes of this section, “Business Combination” means a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar transaction that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders.

 

 17

 

 

Section 13Fractional Warrants; Fractional Exercise

 

(a)               The Company shall not issue fractions of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which will result in the issuance of a fraction of a Warrant.

 

(b)               Warrants may be exercised only in whole numbers of Warrant Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of a Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded up (if the number is .5 or above) or down (if the number is less than .5), to the nearest whole number. If fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate are exercised, a new Warrant Certificate for the number of unexercised Warrants remaining shall be executed by the Company and countersigned by the Warrant Agent as provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, and delivered to the Holder at the address specified on the books of the Warrant Agent or as otherwise specified by such Holder. If fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate are exercised, a notation shall be made to the records maintained by the Depository, its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, or a Participant, as appropriate, evidencing the balance of the Warrants remaining after such exercise.

 

(c)               The holder of a Warrant by the acceptance of the Warrant expressly waives his right to receive any fractional Warrant or any fractional Warrant Shares upon exercise of a Warrant.

 

Section 14Agreement of Warrant Certificate Holders

 

Every holder of a Warrant Certificate by accepting the same consents and agrees with the Company and the Warrant Agent and with every other holder of a Warrant Certificate that:

 

(a)               the Warrant Certificates are transferable only on the registry books of the Warrant Agent if surrendered at the office of the Warrant Agent designated for such purpose, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer and all other information and documents required hereunder; and

 

(b)               the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Holder of the Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof and of the Warrants evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing on the Warrant Certificates made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent) for all purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

 18

 

 

Section 15Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder

 

No Holder, solely in its capacity as an owner of a Warrant, shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or distributions on, or be deemed for any purpose the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the Warrants represented thereby, nor shall anything contained herein or in any Warrant Certificate be construed to confer upon such Holder, solely in its capacity as an owner of a Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action, or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting stockholders, or to receive dividends or distributions or subscription rights, or otherwise, until the Warrant or Warrants have been exercised in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

Section 16Concerning the Warrant Agent

 

The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent, in accordance with a mutually agreed upon fee schedule, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder and, from time to time, on demand of the Warrant Agent, its reasonable expenses and counsel fees and other disbursements incurred in the administration and execution of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder.

 

The Company covenants and agrees to indemnify and to hold the Warrant Agent harmless against any and all liability, judgment, fine, penalty, claim, demand, settlement, cost, expense (including reasonable fees of its legal counsel), loss or damage, which may be paid, incurred or suffered by or to which it may become subject, arising from or out of, directly or indirectly, any claims or liability for any actions taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by the Warrant Agent in connection with the execution, acceptance, administration, exercise and performance of its duties under this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability arising therefrom, directly or indirectly, or enforcing its rights hereunder; provided, that such covenant and agreement does not extend to, and the Warrant Agent shall not be indemnified with respect to, such liability, judgment, fine, penalty, claim, demand, settlement, cost, expense, loss or damage incurred or suffered by the Warrant Agent as a result of, or arising out of, its own gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

 

From time to time, the Company may provide the Warrant Agent with instructions concerning the services performed by the Warrant Agent hereunder. In addition, at any time the Warrant Agent may apply to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or the Corporate Controller of Company for instruction, and may consult with legal counsel for the Warrant Agent or the Company with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by the Warrant Agent under this Agreement. The Warrant Agent and its agents and subcontractors shall not be liable and shall be indemnified by the Company for any action taken or omitted by the Warrant Agent in reliance upon any instructions by such officers of the Company or upon the advice or opinion of legal counsel for the Company. The Warrant Agent shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any such officer of the Company until receipt of written notice thereof from the Company.

 

 19

 

 

To the extent the Company is not also a party to an action, proceeding, suit or claim against the Warrant Agent concerning this Agreement or the performance by the Warrant Agent of its duties hereunder, the Warrant Agent shall, as promptly as practicable, notify the Company thereof in writing in accordance with Section 21 of the assertion of such action, proceeding, suit or claim against the Warrant Agent, after the Warrant Agent has actual notice of such assertion of an action, proceeding, suit or claim or has been served with the summons or other first legal process giving information as to the nature and basis of the action, proceeding, suit or claim; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the rights of the Warrant Agent hereunder, except to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such failure actually prejudiced the Company. The Company shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action, proceeding, suit or claim. The Warrant Agent agrees not to settle any litigation in connection with any action, proceeding, suit or claim with respect to which it may seek indemnification from the Company without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Warrant Agent’s aggregate liability with respect to, arising from, or arising in connection with this Agreement or any Warrant, or from all services provided or omitted to be provided under this Agreement, whether in contract, or in tort, or otherwise, is limited to, and shall not exceed, the amounts paid under this Agreement by the Company to Warrant Agent as fees and charges, but not including reimbursable expenses, during the 12 months immediately preceding the event for which recovery from the Warrant Agent is being sought.

 

The Warrant Agent and the Company agree that all books, records, information and data pertaining to the business of the other party, including inter alia, personal, non-public Holder information, which are exchanged or received pursuant to the negotiation or the carrying out of this Agreement shall remain confidential, and shall not be voluntarily disclosed to any other person, except as may be required by law, including, without limitation, pursuant to subpoenas from state or federal government authorities (e.g., in divorce and criminal actions).

 

The provisions of this Section 16, Section 18, and Section 30 below shall survive the expiration of the Warrants and the termination of this Agreement and the resignation, replacement or removal of the Warrant Agent in accordance with the terms hereof..

 

Section 17Purchase or Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant Agent

 

Any Person into which the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent shall be party, or any Person succeeding to the stockholder services of the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such Person would be eligible for appointment as a successor Warrant Agent under the provisions of Section 19. In case at the time such successor Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the predecessor Warrant Agent and deliver such Warrant Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.

 

 20

 

 

In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver Warrant Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.

 

Section 18Duties of Warrant Agent

 

The Warrant Agent undertakes the duties and obligations expressly imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the Holders shall be bound:
