Common use of Class C Warrants Clause in Contracts

Class C Warrants. At the Effective Time, and without any action on the part of any holder of a Class C Warrant, each Class C Warrant that is then outstanding and unexercised will remain outstanding and, for purposes of Section 1.4, will be deemed an equivalent warrant with rights to receive Merger Consideration (an “Equivalent Warrant”) on the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to the Class C Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time. To clarify, each Class C Warrant will become exercisable for Merger Consideration based on the Merger Consideration that would have been received as if each Class C Warrant had been exercised for Series B Preferred Stock and converted to Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms thereof prior to the Effective Time. Purchaser shall cause each holder of an Equivalent Warrant to receive, for purposes of electing to receive Stock Election Shares, Cash Election Shares or Mixed Election Shares upon future exercise of such Equivalent Warrant, an election statement at the same time as holders of Exchangeable Shares receive Election Statements pursuant to Section 2.1(a), and the Merger Consideration such holders shall receive upon exercise shall be subject to the election and proration procedures set forth in Section 2.1, provided, however, that proration with respect to a holder of Class C Warrants shall aggregate all elections made by such holder with respect to such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock, shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Class C Warrants, and any proration allocations, if any, arising as a result of the application of the provisions of Section 2.1 shall be applied first to such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock and second to such holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock. For purposes of calculating an Equivalent Warrant for purposes of Section 1.4, (i) the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock deemed subject to such Equivalent Warrant will be equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock into which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock subject to the Company Class C Warrant would be convertible (assuming they are convertible) assuming conversion immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded to the nearest whole share), and (ii) the per-share exercise price for each such Equivalent Warrant will be adjusted by dividing the per-share exercise price of the Company Class C Warrant on a Company Common Stock equivalent basis by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent).
