The Company agrees that time is of the essence with respect to satisfaction of its obligations under Section 2 of this Warrant.

 

3. Effect of Reorganization, Etc.; Adjustment of Exercise Price.

 

3.1 Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger. Etc. If there occurs any capital reorganization or any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person (other than a merger or consolidation of the Company in which the Company is the continuing entity and which does not result in any reorganization or reclassification of its outstanding Common Stock) or the sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another person, then, as a condition precedent to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the Holder will be entitled to receive upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company (x) to the extent there are cash proceeds resulting from the consummation of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, in exchange for such Warrant, cash in an amount equal to the cash proceeds that would have been payable to the Holder had the Holder exercised such Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, less the aggregate Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant, and (y) to the extent that the Holder would be entitled to receive Common stock (or Other Securities) (in addition to or in lieu of cash in connection with any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance), the same kind and amounts of securities or other assets, or both, that are issuable or distributable to the holders of outstanding Common Stock (or Other Securities) of the Company with respect to their Common Stock (or Other Securities) upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, as would have been deliverable to the Holder had the Holder exercised such Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance less an amount of such securities having a value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

 

3.2 Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, concurrently with any distributions made to holders of its Common Stock, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.1.

 

3.3 Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3.3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4. In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transactions described in this Section 3.3, then the Company’s securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder will be delivered to the Holder as contemplated by Section 3.2.

 

4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by the Company, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock (each, an “Event”), then, in each such Event, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the Event) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after such Event, and (b) the denominator is the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Event.

 

5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and any warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 10 hereof).

 

 

6. Reservation of Stock, Etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.

 

7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a “Transferor”) in whole or in part. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form”) and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall include, without limitation, a legal opinion from the Transferor’s counsel (reasonably acceptable to the Company and its counsel) that provides that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws, the Company at its expense (but with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of this Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

11. Rights of Shareholders. No Holder shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant for any purpose (the “Warrant Shares”), nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon the recapitalization, issuance of shares, reclassification of shares, change of nominal value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise, in each case, until the earlier to occur of (x) the date of actual delivery to Holder (or its designee) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof or (y) the third (3rd) business day following the date such Warrant Shares first become deliverable to Holder, as provided herein.

 

 

12. Notices, Etc. All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be given as set forth in the Lease.

 

13. Holder Representations. Holder acknowledges, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

(a) Holder has a pre-existing personal or business relationship with the Company or any affiliate thereof of such duration and nature as would enable a reasonably prudent purchaser to be aware of the character, business acumen and general business and financial circumstances of the Company or such affiliate and is otherwise personally qualified to evaluate and assess the risks, nature and other aspects of this subscription. Holder is acquiring the Warrant solely for its own account for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Act, does not have any present intention of selling, offering to sell or otherwise disposing of the Warrants or the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof, and the entire legal and beneficial interest of the Warrant and the Warrants Shares issuable upon exercise thereof will be held for the account of Holder only, and neither in whole nor in part for any other person.

 

(b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is able to bear the economic risk of investment in the Warrants for an indefinite period of time, as neither the Warrant nor the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof has been under the Act and therefore cannot be sold unless either the Warrant or the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available and a favorable opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company is provided to the Company.

 

14. No Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant or to deliver Warrant certificates which evidence fractional Warrant Shares. In the event that a fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 15, be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder exercising the Warrant an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the share.

 

15. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The governing law, jurisdiction and any waiver of jury trial or arbitration provisions contained in the Lease shall control and apply to this Warrant and any dispute arising hereunder. In the event that any provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The Holder acknowledges that legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Warrant and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Warrant to favor any party against the other party.
