Section 4.1Stock Splits and Combinations.  If the Common Stock shall at any time be subdivided into a greater number of shares, then the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased; and, conversely, if the Common Stock shall at any time be combined or consolidated into a smaller number of shares, then the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately reduced and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased.  Any adjustments under this Section 4.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination or consolidation becomes effective.

Section 4.2Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.  If the Common Stock shall be changed into shares of any other class or classes of stock or other securities of the Company, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise, Holder shall, upon exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to purchase for the same aggregate consideration, in lieu of the Shares that Holder would have become entitled to purchase but for such change, such number, class and series of securities of the Company as would have been issuable in connection with such event to a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or other change.  The Warrant Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect that reorganization, reclassification or other change.  Any adjustments under this Section 4.2 shall become effective at the

 

---

 

close of business on the date such change of the Common Stock into shares of any other class or classes of stock or other securities of the Company becomes effective.

Section 4.3Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sale of Assets.  If at any time there shall be a reorganization involving the Common Stock (other than a stock split, combination, consolidation, reclassification, exchange, or subdivision of shares provided for in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, lawful provision shall be made so that Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, in accordance with the terms hereof, in lieu of the Shares that Holder would have become entitled to purchase but for such event, such other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such event, to which Holder would have been entitled in such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before that reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of Holder after the reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustment of the Warrant Price then in effect and number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Company shall provide Holder with at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of any of the events described in the first sentence of this Section 4.3.

Section 4.4Certificate as to Adjustments.  In the case of each adjustment (including a readjustment) under this Section 4, the Company will promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the event requiring the adjustment, compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder a certificate describing in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and setting forth such adjustment and the calculations and results of such adjustment.

Section 4.5Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Exercise.  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant.  If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

Section 4.6Method of Calculation.  All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest one hundredth of a share.

RIGHTS PRIOR TO EXERCISE OF WARRANT

Section 5.1No Rights of a Stockholder.  This Warrant does not entitle Holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including (without limitation) the right to receive dividends or other distributions, to vote or consent, or to receive notice as a stockholder of the Company.  If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant and prior to its exercise:

(a)the Company shall declare any dividend payable in any securities upon outstanding shares of Common Stock or make any other distribution (other than a regular cash dividend) to the holders of shares of Common Stock;

(b)the Company shall offer to the holders of shares of Common Stock any additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or any right to subscribe for or purchase any thereof; or

(c)a dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company (other than in connection with a reorganization, consolidation, merger, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety) shall be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors,

then, in any one or more of such events the Company shall give notice in writing of such event to Holder, at its address as it shall then appear on the Company’s records, at least twenty (20) days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividends, distribution, or subscription rights, or for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation or

winding-up.  Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be.

Any failure to give such notice or any defect therein, however, shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or such proposed dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

Section 6.1Inure to Benefit of Successors and Assigns.  The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and Holder and its successors and permitted assigns.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES

Section 7.1Holder’s Representations.  By acceptance of this Warrant, Holder hereby represents to the Company that this Warrant is being acquired for investment for Holder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and that Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing this Warrant or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  By acceptance of this Warrant, Holder further represents that Holder does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to this Warrant or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  Holder understands that the offer and sale of this Warrant and the offer and sale of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant have not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Holder’s representations as expressed herein.  Holder further recognizes and acknowledges that because the offer and sale of this Warrant and the offer and sale of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are unregistered, they may not be eligible for resale, and may only be resold in the future pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to a valid exemption from such registration requirements and that Holder must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely.  Additionally, the Holder further represents as follows:

(a)it is not a “U.S. person”, as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act, and is not purchasing the Securities for the account or benefit of a “U.S. person” or person in the United States;

(b)it was not offered the Warrant in the United States, did not receive any materials relating to the offer of the Warrant in the United States, and did not execute any agreement or any other materials relating to the Warrant in the United States;

(c)it is not purchasing the Units as the result of any directed selling efforts (as defined in Rule 902(c) of the Securities Act);

(d)the current structure of this transaction and all transactions and activities contemplated hereunder is not a scheme to avoid the registration requirements of the Securities Act; and

(e)it has no intention to distribute either directly or indirectly any of the Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Warrant in the United States, except in compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

 

Section 7.2Restrictive Legend.  Holder acknowledges that this Warrant is, and each of the Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof will be, a restricted security, and that the certificate or certificates evidencing such Shares will bear a legend substantially similar to the following legend:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE RESOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL

 

---

 

REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH DISPOSITION IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.

LOSS OR MUTILATION

Section 8.1Cancellation and Issuance of New Warrant.  Upon receipt by the Company of satisfactory evidence of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant, and (i) in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, upon receipt by the Company of indemnity satisfactory to it, or (ii) in the case of mutilation, upon receipt of this Warrant and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant representing the right to purchase an equal number of Shares.

All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given on the date of receipt (or refusal of receipt) if delivered personally or by courier by the party to whom notice is to be given, or on the earlier of the third business day after the date of mailing or receipt if mailed to the party to whom notice is to be given by first class mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, and properly addressed as follows: if to Holder, at its address as shown in the Company’s records; and if to the Company, at its principal office.  Either party may change its address for purposes of this Section 9 by giving the other party written notice of the new address in the manner set forth above.

GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION
