THIS
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”)
certifies that, for value received, _____________ (the “Holder”),
is
entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the
conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the
“Initial
Exercise Date”)
and on
or prior to the close of business on the earlier of ____1
anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination

but
not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Willowtree Advisor, Inc.,
a
Nevada corporation (the “Company”),
up to
______ shares (the “Warrant
Shares”)
of

Stock”),
of
the Company. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant
shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section

Agreement”),
dated

Section
2. Exercise.
a) Exercise
of Warrant.
Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in
whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date
and
on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed
facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto (or such other
office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to
the
registered Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the
Company); and, within 3 Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is
delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or
cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this
Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares
available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case,
the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within
3
Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the
Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion
of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect
of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder
in an
amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder
and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares
purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any
objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within 1 Business Day of receipt of
such notice. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the
Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.
The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and
agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the
purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant
Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than
the
amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise
Price.
The
exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be
$_____,
subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless
Exercise.
If at
any time after one year from the date of issuance of this Warrant there is
no
effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available
for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may
also
be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder
shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A),
where:
| (A) = |
the
VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such
election;
|
| (B) = |
the
Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
|
| (X) = |
the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise
rather than a cashless
exercise.
|
2
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall
be
automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section
2(c).
d) Exercise
Limitations.
The
Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not
have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section
2(c)
or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after
exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, such Holder
(together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting
as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates), as set
forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, would beneficially own in excess
of
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of
the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such
determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common
Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised
portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its
Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation,
any other Preferred Stock or Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion
or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by
such
Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by a Holder that
the Company is not representing to such Holder that such calculation is in
compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and such Holder is solely
responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.
To
the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which
a
portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of a
Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be each
Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to
other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and of
which
portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate
percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or
confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as
to
any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent
Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the
Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company
shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder
the
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect
to
the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant,
by such Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial
Ownership Limitation”
shall
be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of
this
Section 2(d) may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder,
upon
not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company to change the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, and the provisions of this Section 2(d)
shall continue to apply. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived by such Holder. The
provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner
otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to
correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or
inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained
or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect
to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply
to a
successor holder of this Warrant.
3
e) Mechanics
of Exercise.
i. Authorization
of Warrant Shares.
The
Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created
by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect
of
any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
ii. Delivery
of Certificates Upon Exercise.
Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer
agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s
prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission (“DWAC”)
system
if the Company is a participant in such system, and otherwise by physical
delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within
3 Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form,
surrender of this Warrant (if required) and payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price as set forth above (“Warrant
Share Delivery Date”).
This
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price
is
received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued,
and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed
to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the
date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise
Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be
paid
by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(e)(vii) prior to the issuance
of
such shares, have been paid.
4
iii. Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise.
If this
Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request
of
a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery
of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to
Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased
Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other
respects be identical with this Warrant.
iv. Rescission
Rights.
If the
Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a
certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to this
Section 2(e)(iv) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have
the right to rescind such exercise.
v. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon
Exercise.
In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails
to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker
to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s
brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”),
then
the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the
Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required
to
deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was
executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion
of
the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise
was
not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that
would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and
delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect
to
an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price
giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the
immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the
amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of
the
Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a
Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or
in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant
as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
5
vi. No
Fractional Shares or Scrip.
No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would
otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall at
its
election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in
an
amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up
to
the next whole share.
vii. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses.
Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to
the
Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect
of
the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be
paid
by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder
or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided,
however,
that in
the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other
than
the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be
accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder;
and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum
sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
viii. Closing
of Books.
The
Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which
prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms
hereof.
Section
3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock
Dividends and Splits.
If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (A) pays a stock
dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its
Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in
shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any
shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant),
(B)
subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares,
(C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by reclassification
of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then
in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which
the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury
shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise
of
this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustment made pursuant
to
this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date
for
the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date
in
the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
6
b) Subsequent
Equity Sales.
If the
Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase or sell or grant
any
right to reprice its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce
any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares
of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise
Price (such lower price, the “Base
Share Price”
and
such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive
Issuance”)
(if
the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall
at
any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions,
floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to
warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such
issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price
per share which is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed
to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive
Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal
the Base Share Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall
be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after
taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the
aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be
made
whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued
under this Section 3(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall
notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the
issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section
3(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset
price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice
the
“Dilutive
Issuance Notice”).
For
purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive
Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the occurrence of any
Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is
entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price
regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price
in
the Notice of Exercise.
c) Subsequent
Rights Offerings.
If the
Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights,
options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders)
entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price
per share less than the VWAP at the record date mentioned below, then the
Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator
shall
be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance
of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock
offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of
such
rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price
of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in
full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or
warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever
such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately
after
the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
rights, options or warrants.
7
d) Pro
Rata Distributions.
If the
Company, at any time prior to the Termination Date, shall distribute to all
holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its
indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which
shall be subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such case the Exercise Price
shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP
determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator
shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market
value
at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness
so
distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as
determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the
adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the
portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such
subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment
shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective
immediately after the record date mentioned above.
e) Fundamental
Transaction.
If, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger
or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company
effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series
of
related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities,
cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common
Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”),
then,
upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right
to
receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise
immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the
option of the Holder, (a) upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares
of
Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if
it
is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the
“Alternate
Consideration”)
receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares
of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
event or (b) if the Company is acquired in an all cash transaction, cash equal
to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes
option pricing formula. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination
of
the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate
Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect
of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company
shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a
reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components
of
the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice
as
to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions,
any
successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction
shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions
and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate
Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3(e) and insuring
that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted
upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental
Transaction.
8
f) Calculations.
All
calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section
3,
the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as
of a
given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
g) Voluntary
Adjustment By Company.
The
Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current
Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate
by
the Board of Directors of the Company.
h) Notice
to Holder.
i. Adjustment
to Exercise Price.
Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this
Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth
the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement
of
the facts requiring such adjustment. If the Company issues a variable rate
security, despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company
shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at
the
lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be
converted or exercised in the case of a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined
in
the Purchase Agreement).
ii. Notice
to Allow Exercise by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
If (A)
the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever
form) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring
cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall
authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants
to
subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any
rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required
in
connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation
or
merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange
whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property;
(E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case,
the
Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall
appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days
prior
to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not
to
be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to
be
entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are
to
be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock
of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the
failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof
shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified
in such notice. The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the
20-day period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of
the
event triggering such notice.

Section
4. Transfer
of Warrant.
a) Transferability.
Subject
to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth
in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase
Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation,
any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender
of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form
attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds
sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.
Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees
and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of
assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion
of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.
A
Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase
of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New
Warrants.
This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued,
signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with
Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or
combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants
in
exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice.
10
c) Warrant
Register.
The
Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”),
in
the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem
and
treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for
the
purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all
other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer
Restrictions.
If,
at the
time
of
the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant,
the transfer of this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant to an effective
registration
statement under the Securities Act
and
under
applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a
condition of allowing such transfer, that (i) the Holder or transferee of this
Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel
(which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions
of
counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be
made
without
registration under
the
Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, and
(ii)
the Holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter
in form and substance acceptable to the Company, and (iii) the transferee be
an
“accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), or (a)(8)
promulgated under the Securities Act or a “qualified institutional buyer” as
defined in Rule 144A(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
a) No
Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise.
This
Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as
a
shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section
2(e)(ii).
b) Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant.
The
Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant
or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss,
theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it
(which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond),
and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if
mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate
of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or
stock certificate.
c) Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc.
If the
last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any
right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action
may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
Day.
11
d) Authorized
Shares.
The
Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of
shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise
of
any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that
its
issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who
are
charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue
the
necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase
rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action
as
may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided
herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall
not
by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of
incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of
this
Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of
all
such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will
(a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable
therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value,
(b)
take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable
the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the
Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents
thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction.
All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the
Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions.
The
Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state
and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver
and Expenses.
No
course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on
the
part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice
Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights
hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and
knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results
in
any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts
as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate
proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto
or
in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies
hereunder.
12
h) Notices.
Any
notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered
to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice
provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation
of Liability.
No
provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise
this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights
or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of 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.
j) Remedies.
Holder,
in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including
recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights
under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of
the
provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the
defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
k) Successors
and Assigns.
Subject
to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations
evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.
The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders
from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by any such Holder
or
holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment.
This
Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.
m) Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity,
without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining
provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings.
The
headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and
shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
