2. EXERCISE
OF WARRANT.
(a) This
Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from time to
time
from the date hereof until the end of the Exercise Period by presentation
and
surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office, or at the
office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Exercise Notice annexed
hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment of the Warrant Exercise Price
(or in certain events, by “cashless” exercise as provided in Sections 2(b) and
2(c) below) for the number of shares of Common Stock specified in such form.
If
this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender
of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing
the rights of the Holder to purchase the balance of the shares of Common
Stock
purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its
office, or by the stock transfer agent of the Company at its office, in proper
form for exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record
of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that
the
stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then actually be delivered
to
the Holder. As soon as practicable after each exercise of this Warrant, in
whole
or in part, and in any event within five (5) days thereafter, the Company,
at
its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes),
will
cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof or,
subject
to Section 10 hereof, as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any
applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate or certificates (with
appropriate restrictive legends, as applicable) for the number of duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock
to which the Holder shall be entitled upon exercise. All issuances of Common
Stock pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up to the
nearest whole share.
2
(b)
If a
Registration Statement (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) is effective
and the Holder may utilize it to sell the Warrant Shares, this Warrant may
be
exercisable in whole or in part for cash only as set forth in Section 2 above.
Commencing six months after the Closing Date, if no such Registration Statement
is then effective, then commencing six months after the Closing Date, payment
upon exercise may be made at the option of the Holder either in (i) cash,
wire
transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the
Company equal to the applicable aggregate Warrant Exercise Price, (ii) by
surrender of all or a portion of this Warrant in accordance with Sections
2(b)
and 2(c) below ("cashless exercise") or (iii) by a combination of any of
the
foregoing methods, for the number of shares of Common Stock specified in
such
form and the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of
duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock
determined as provided herein.
(c)
If
the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant
Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below) and no
Registration Statement relating to the shares of Common Stock underlying
this
Warrant is effective, in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the holder
may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this
Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled) by surrender of this Warrant
at
the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Exercise
Notice, attached hereto as Exhibit A, in which event the Company shall issue
to
the 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 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) the number of shares of Common
Stock
to be issued to the 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=
the
Fair
Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such
calculation)
B= Warrant
Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
(d) Call
Provision.
If
at
anytime following the date that is nine months from the date of effectiveness
of
the Registration Statement the volume weighted average price of the Common
Stock
of the Company for each of 20 consecutive Trading Days (the "Measurement
Period")
exceeds $6.00 (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits,
recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like) (the "Threshold
Price"),
then
the Company may, within five Trading Days of the end of such period, call
for
cancellation of all or any portion of this Warrant for which a Exercise Notice
has not yet been delivered (such right, a "Call"). To exercise this right,
the
Company must deliver to the Holder an irrevocable written notice (a
"Call
Notice"),
indicating therein the portion of unexercised portion of this Warrant to
which
such notice applies. If the conditions set forth below for such Call are
satisfied from the period from the date of the Call Notice through and including
the Call Date (as defined below), then any portion of this Warrant subject
to
such Call Notice for which an Exercise Notice shall not have been received
by
the Call Date will be cancelled
at 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 20th Trading Day after the date
the
Call Notice is received by the Holder (such date, the "Call Date"). Any
unexercised portion of this Warrant to which the Call Notice does not pertain
will be unaffected by such Call Notice. In furtherance thereof, the Company
covenants and agrees that it will honor all Exercise Notices with respect
to
Warrant Shares subject to a Call Notice that are tendered through 6:30 p.m.
(New
York City time) on the Call Date. The parties agree that any Exercise Notice
delivered following a Call Notice shall first reduce to zero the number of
Warrant Shares subject to such Call Notice prior to reducing the remaining
Warrant Shares available for purchase under this Warrant. Subject to the
provisions of this Section 2(f), the Company may deliver subsequent Call
Notices
for any portion of this Warrant for which the Holder shall not have delivered
an
Exercise Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Warrant, the Company may not deliver a Call Notice or require the cancellation
of this Warrant (and any Call Notice will be void), unless, from the beginning
of the 20th consecutive Trading Days used to determine whether the Common
Stock
has achieved the Threshold Price through the Call Date, (i) the Company shall
have honored in accordance with the terms of this Warrant all Exercise Notices
delivered by 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date and (ii) the
Registration Statement shall be effective as to all Warrant Shares and the
prospectus thereunder available for use by the Holder for the resale of all
such
Warrant Shares. The Company's right to Call the Warrant shall be exercised
ratably among the Holders based on each Holder's initial purchase of Debentures
pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.
3
(e) Common
Stock Legend.
The
Holder acknowledges and agrees that until such time as the Warrant Shares
have
been registered and sold in accordance with an effective registration statement,
or pursuant to an exemption from registration, certificates and other
instruments representing any of the Warrant Shares shall bear a restrictive
legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may
be
placed against transfer of any such securities):
“THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED
FOR
SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO ACORN FACTOR,
INC.
THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
3. RESERVATION
OF SHARES/FRACTIONAL SHARES.
The
Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance
and/or delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common
Stock as shall be required for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this
Warrant. No fractional shares or script representing fractional shares shall
be
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. Instead, the Company will round
up to
the nearest whole share.
4
4. EXCHANGE,
TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR LOSS OF WARRANT.
This
Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon
presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company for other Warrants
of
different denominations entitling the Holder thereof to purchase in the
aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.
Upon
surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer
agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and
funds
sufficient to pay any applicable transfer tax, the Company shall, without
charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named
in
such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.
This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants which carry the same
rights upon presentation of this Warrant at the office of the Company or
at the
office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued
and signed by the Holder hereof. The term “this Warrant” as used herein includes
any Warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or for which it may be
exchanged. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of
the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, (and, in the case
of
loss, theft or destruction, of a reasonably satisfactory surety bond), and
upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and
deliver
a new Warrant of like tenor. Any such new Warrant executed and delivered
shall
constitute an additional contractual obligation on the part of the Company,
whether or not this Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated shall
be at
any time enforceable by anyone; provided, however, that if the original Warrant
shall be presented for transfer by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section
8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code), then in addition to any rights on
the
surety bond or indemnity, the Company may recover the new Warrant in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
5. RIGHTS
AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE HOLDER.
The
Holder shall not, by virtue of this Warrant, be entitled to any rights of
a
stockholder of the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the
Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable
against the Company except to the extent set forth herein. In addition,
no
provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase
shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges
of
the Holder hereof shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the
purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether
such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
6. ANTI-DILUTION
PROVISIONS.
The
Warrant Exercise Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of
securities purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant, shall be subject to
adjustment as follows. The Company shall give each Holder notice of any event
described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 6 at
the
time of such event:
(a) Stock
Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations.
If at
any time the Company shall:
(i) take
a
record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them
to
receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common
Stock,
5
(ii) subdivide
or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number
of
shares of Common Stock, or
(iii) combine
or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number
of
shares of Common Stock or otherwise effect a reverse stock split, then:
(A)
the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal
the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number
of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior
to the occurrence of such event, would own or be entitled to receive after
the
happening of such event, and (B) the Warrant Exercise Price shall be adjusted
to
equal: (x) the Warrant Exercise Price immediately prior to such event multiplied
by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (y) the number of shares for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such
adjustment.
(b) Certain
Other Distributions and Adjustments.
(i) If
at any
time the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for
the
purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of:
(A)
cash,
(B)
any
evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its capital stock or any other
securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than Convertible
Securities or shares of Common Stock), or
(C)
any
warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its
indebtedness, any shares of its stock or any other securities or property
of any
nature whatsoever (other than Convertible Securities or shares of Common
Stock),
then,
in
the case of (A) the Warrant Exercise Price shall be reduced by the amount
of
such cash dividend when paid, or in the case of (B) or (C) the Warrant Holder
shall be given notice as provided by Section 8 of this Warrant and the
opportunity to exercise the Warrant prior to any such distribution.
(ii) A
reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or
from
par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares
of
Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a
distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares
of
such other class of stock and in such event the Holder shall be entitled
to
receive such distribution as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant and,
if
the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or
smaller
number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such
change
shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section
6(a).
(c) Issuance
of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(i) Except
in
connection with Permitted Issuances, if, at any time prior to the date which
is
six months from the original issue date of this Warrant (the “Issuance
Date”),
the
Company shall issue or sell any shares of Common Stock for no consideration
or
for consideration in an amount per share of Common Stock less than the Share
Price (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) (a “Discounted
Price”),
the
Warrant Exercise Price then in effect shall immediately, and without any
further
action by the Company or the Holder required, be adjusted, concurrently with
such issuance, to a price equal to 118% of the Discounted Price.
6
(ii)
The
provision of paragraph (i) of this Section 6(c) shall not apply to any issuance
of shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is provided under Section
6(a)
or 6(b). No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which
this
Warrant shall be exercisable shall be made under paragraph (i) of this Section
6(c) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant
to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights
or
pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any Convertible
Securities, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the
issuance of such warrants or other rights or upon the issuance of such
Convertible Securities (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights
therefor) pursuant to Section 6(d).
(d) Issuance
of Warrants or Other Rights.
(i) Except
in
connection with any Permitted Issuances, if at any time prior to the date
that
which is six months from the Issuance Date, the Company shall distribute
to the
holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive
a
distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption
in a
merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) issue or sell,
any
warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of Common
Stock
or any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert
thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which
Common
Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such warrants or other rights or upon
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be less than
the
Warrant Exercise Price then in effect, then the Warrant Exercise Price shall
be
adjusted to such price. No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price
shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible
Securities upon exercise of such warrants or other rights or upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock upon such conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities.
(e) Superseding
Adjustment.
If at
any time after any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall have been
made
pursuant to Section 6(d) as the result of any issuance of warrants, rights
or
other Convertible Securities,
(i) such
warrants or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in such other
Convertible Securities, shall expire, and all or a portion of such warrants
or
rights, or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion
of such other Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall not have
been
exercised, or
(ii) the
consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant
to such warrants or rights, or the terms of such other Convertible Securities,
shall be increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an
automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the occurrence of
a
specified date or event, then
for
each outstanding Warrant such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and
annulled and the shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued
by
virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded
and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such
computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled
shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation.
Thereupon, a re-computation shall be made of the effect of the issuance of
such
rights or options or other Convertible Securities on the basis of: (A) treating
the number of shares of Common Stock or other property, if any, theretofore
actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of any such
warrants or rights or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having
been
issued on the date or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration
actually received and receivable therefore, and (B) treating any such warrants
or rights or any such other Convertible Securities which then remain outstanding
as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase
of
the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock or other property
are issuable under such warrants or rights or other convertible Securities;
whereupon a new adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Exercise Price(s) shall be made,
which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded
and
annulled.
7
(f) No
adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least One Cent ($0.01)
in
such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this
Section 6(f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken
into
account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section
6(f)
shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share,
as
the case may be.
(g) The
Company may retain a firm of independent public accountants of recognized
standing selected by the Board (who may be the regular accountants employed
by
the Company) to make any computation required by this Section 6.
(h) In
the
event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section
6(a), (b) or (c) of this Warrant, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter shall
become entitled to receive any shares of the Company’s capital stock, other than
Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
in a
manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions
with
respect to the Common Stock contained in Sections 6(a) through (h), inclusive,
of this Warrant.
(i) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 6 shall be effected
due
to, or as a result of, any Permitted Issuances.
7. OFFICER’S
CERTIFICATE.
Whenever the Warrant Exercise Price(s) shall be adjusted as required by the
provisions of Section 6 of this Warrant, the Company shall forthwith file
in the
custody of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal office
and
with its stock transfer agent, if any, an officer’s certificate showing the
adjusted Warrant Exercise Price(s) and the adjusted number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, determined as herein provided,
setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment,
including a statement of the number of additional shares of Common Stock,
if
any, and such other facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for and
the
manner of computing such adjustment. Each such officer’s certificate shall be
forwarded to the Holder in the manner provided in Section 12 hereof.
8. NOTICES
TO WARRANT HOLDERS.
So long
as this Warrant shall be outstanding, (a) if the Company shall pay any dividend
or make any distribution upon Common Stock, or (b) if the Company shall offer
to
the holders of Common Stock for subscription or purchase by them any share
of
any class or any other rights, or (c) if any capital reorganization of the
Company, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation
or
merger of the Company with or into another entity, tender offer transaction
for
the Company’s Common Stock, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all
of the property and assets of the Company, or voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be effected,
at
least ten (10) days prior to the date specified in clauses (a), (b), or (c),
as
the case may be, of this Section 8 a notice containing a brief description
of
the proposed action and stating the date on which (i) a record is to be taken
for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (ii) such
reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, tender offer
transaction, conveyance, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is
to
take place and the date, if any, is to be fixed, as of which the holders
of
Common Stock or other securities shall receive cash or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger,
conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
8
9. RECLASSIFICATION,
REORGANIZATION OR MERGER.
In case
of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company, or in case of any consolidation or
merger
of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with
a
subsidiary in which merger the Company is the continuing or surviving
corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, capital
reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or in case of any sale, lease
or
conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the
Company
shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cause effective provisions
to be made so that (i) the Holder shall have the right thereafter by exercising
this Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, capital
reorganization and other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance
by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which could have been purchased
upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and (ii) the successor
or
acquiring entity shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and
performance of each covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed
and
observed by the Company and all obligations and liabilities hereunder (including
but not limited to the provisions of Section 6 regarding the increase in
the
number of Warrant Shares potentially issuable hereunder). Any such provision
shall include provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent
as
possible to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The foregoing
provisions of this Section 9 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, capital reorganizations and changes of shares of Common
Stock
and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. In the event
that in connection with any such capital reorganization or reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, additional shares of Common Stock
shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or payment, in whole
in
part, for a security of the Company other than Common Stock, any such issue
shall be treated as an issuance of Common Stock covered by the provisions
of
Section 6 of this Warrant.
10. TRANSFER
TO COMPLY WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.
This
Warrant, the Warrant Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon
the
exercise of this Warrant may not be sold or otherwise disposed of except
as
follows:
(a) to
a
person who, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, is a person to whom
this
Warrant or Warrant Shares may legally be transferred without registration
and
without the delivery of a current prospectus under the Securities Act with
respect thereto and then only against receipt by the Company of an agreement
of
such person to comply with the provisions of this Section 10 with respect
to any
resale or other disposition of such securities, which agreement shall be
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and its counsel;
or
9
(b) to
any
person upon delivery of a prospectus then meeting the requirements of the
Securities Act relating to such securities and the offering thereof for such
sale or disposition.
11. GOVERNING
LAW; JURISDICTION.
The
corporate laws of the State
of New
York shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company
