1. Definitions. As used in this Warrant, the following terms have the respective meanings set forth below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Term of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof and prior to 5:00 p.m., Delaware time, on the later of: (i) the three year anniversary of the Convertible Note Issuance Date, or (ii) two years following the date of issuance of this Warrant, provided if such day (per subparagraph (i) or (ii)) is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day (the “Exercise Period”), the Holder of this Warrant may exercise this Warrant for all or any part of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder (subject to adjustment as provided herein); provided, however, the Exercise Period will terminate upon the closing of a sale of the Company (pursuant to merger, stock sale, or otherwise).

 

3. Exercise of Warrant

 

(a) Exercise Procedure. This Warrant may be exercised on any Business Day, for all or any part of the unexercised Warrant Shares, during the Exercise Period upon

 

i. surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction), together with an Exercise Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Exercise Agreement”), duly completed (including specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased) and executed; and

 

ii. payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(b).

 

(b) Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made by delivery to the Company of a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of the Aggregate Exercise Price.

 

(c) Delivery of Stock Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Agreement, surrender of this Warrant (in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof) and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with Section 3(b) hereof) or cashless exercise (in accordance with Section 3(i) hereof), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 30 Business Days thereafter, execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 3(d) hereof. The stock certificate or certificates delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in the denomination or denominations as the exercising Holder shall reasonably request in the Exercise Agreement and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to compliance with Section 5 below, any other Person’s name as shall be designated in the Exercise Agreement. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and the certificate or certificates of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of the Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

 

(d) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional Warrant Share upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon the exercise, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash (by delivery of a check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to the product of (i) the fraction multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share on the Exercise Date.

 

(e) Delivery of New Warrant. Unless the purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.

 

(f) Valid Issuance of Warrant and Warrant Shares; Payment of Taxes. With respect to the exercise of this Warrant, the Company represents, covenants and agrees:

 

i. This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.

 

ii. All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be, upon issuance, and the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Warrant Shares are, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all taxes, liens and charges.

 

iii. The Company shall take all commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that all Warrant Shares are issued without material violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation.

 

iv. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder, and no issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting issuance has paid to the Company the amount of the tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that the tax has been paid.

 

(g) Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

 

(h) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the par value per Warrant Share shall at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Exercise Price. The Company shall not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

(i) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, in lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner set forth in Sections 3(a) and 3(b), the Holder may elect to exercise this Warrant, or a portion hereof, and to pay for the Warrant Shares by way of cashless exercise. If the Holder wishes to effect a cashless exercise, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant, with an Exercise Agreement duly completed (including specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased) and executed, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing prior to the date of such exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares computed according to the following equation:

 

X=	Y * (A-B)
	A

 

 

 

 

 

 

i. if the Company’s Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the Closing Prices over a five trading day period ending on the exercise date. For the purposes of this Warrant, “Closing Price” means the final price at which one share of Common Stock is traded during any trading day; or

 

ii. if the Company’s Common Stock is actively traded over-the-counter, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing sales price over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days before the date of exercise; or

 

iii. if neither (1) nor (2) is applicable, the Fair Market Value shall be at the highest price per share which the Company could obtain on the date of exercise from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

 

 

4. Adjustment to Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4.

 

(a) Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Senior Loan Date, subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 4(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective. If the conversion price per share with respect to the Senior Loan Note is reduced below 50 cents per share (after adjustments in the Senior Loan Note for subdivisions or combinations in any of the categories outlined above in this Section 4(a) or due to the weighted average anti-dilution adjustments), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to the same price per share as is applicable to the Senior Loan Note.

 

(b) Merger Sale, Reclassification, Etc. In case of any (i) consolidation or merger (including a merger in which the Company is the surviving entity), (ii) sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or distribution of property to shareholders (other than distributions payable out of earnings or retained earnings), or reclassification, change or conversion of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time thereafter shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition, reclassification, change, conversion or reorganization, the stock or other securities or property to which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 4(a) or 4(b); and in each such case, the terms of this Section 4 shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities properly receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition, reclassification, change, conversion or reorganization.

 

(c) Weighted Average Adjustment. If the Company Issues (hereinafter defined) Additional Common Shares (defined hereunder) after the date of the Warrant and the consideration per Additional Common Share is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such Issuance (a “Diluting Issuance”), other than with respect to Excluded Securities (hereinafter defined), the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such Diluting Issue shall be reduced, concurrently with such Diluting Issuance, to a price (calculated to the nearest hundredth of a cent) determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction:

 

i. the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Diluting Issuance plus the number shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by Company for the Additional Common Shares would purchase at the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such Diluting Issuance, and

 

ii. the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Diluting Issuance plus the number of such Additional Common Shares.

 

i. “EP2” shall mean the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such Diluting Issuance of Additional Common Shares;

 

ii. “EP1” shall mean the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Diluting Issuance of Additional Common Shares;

 

iii. “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and deemed outstanding immediately prior to such Diluting Issuance of Additional Common Shares;

 

iv. “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Common Shares had been issued at a price per share equal to EP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received or receivable by the Company in respect of such issue by EP1); and

 

v. “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Common Shares issued in such transaction.

 

 

i. “Issue” means to grant, issue or sell Additional Common Shares, whichever of the foregoing is the first to occur.

 

ii. “Additional Common Shares” means all Common Stock (including reissued shares) Issued after the date of the Warrant during the term of the Warrant.

 

iii. “Excluded Securities” means any of the following: (a) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any employee benefit plan which has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to which the Company’s securities may be issued to any employee, officer, director or consultant for services provided to the Company and (b) issuances of Common Stock upon exercise or conversion of currently outstanding derivative securities.

 

(d) Certificate as to Adjustment.

 

i. As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Exercise Price, but in any event not later than 10 Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

 

ii. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not later than 10 Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

 

(e) Notices. In the event:

 

i. that the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

 

ii. of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person; or the Company;

 

 

 

5. Transfer of Warrant. Subject to the transfer conditions referred to in the legend endorsed hereon this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part by the Holder without charge to the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices with a properly completed and duly executed Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, together with funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes described in Section 3(f)(iv) in connection with the making of such transfer. Upon such compliance, surrender and delivery 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 denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant, if any, not so assigned and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

 

6. Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder; Limitations on Liability. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares to which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company

 

7. Replacement on Loss; Division and Combination.

 

(a) Replacement of Warrant on Loss. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and upon delivery of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that a written indemnification agreement or affidavit of loss of the Holder shall be a sufficient indemnity) and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender of the Warrant for cancellation to the Company, the Company shall, at its own expense, execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu hereof, a new Warrant of like tenor and exercisable for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed; provided, that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

 

(b) Division and Combination of Warrant. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant as to any transfer or other assignment which may be involved in the division or combination, this Warrant may be divided, or following any division of this Warrant, subsequently combined with other Warrants, upon the surrender of this Warrant or Warrants to the Company at its then principal executive offices, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the respective Holders or their agents or attorneys. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant as to any transfer or assignment which may be involved in the division or combination, the Company shall, at its own expense, execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with the notice. The new Warrant or Warrants shall be of like tenor to the surrendered Warrant or Warrants and shall be exercisable in the aggregate for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice.

 

8. Compliance with the Securities Act.

 

(a) Agreement to Comply with the Securities Act; Legend. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 8 and the restrictive legend requirements set forth on the face of this Warrant and further agrees that the Holder shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). This Warrant and all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required by state securities laws):

 

 

(b) Representations of the Holder. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the Holder specifically represents, as of the date hereof, to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows:

 

i. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he/she/it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof and of making an informed investment decision, and has the capacity to protect the Holder’s own interests.

 

ii. The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws, have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and the applicable state securities laws, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Holder’s representations as expressed herein.

 

iii. Holder acknowledges and understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being purchased for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution or resale, nor with the intention of selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or any part of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for any particular price, or at any particular time, or upon the happening of any particular event or circumstances, except selling, transferring, or disposing of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof made in full compliance with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and applicable state securities laws; and that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are not a liquid investment. The Company has no obligation or intention to register this Warrant or the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for resale at this time, nor has the Company made any representations, warranties, or covenants regarding the registration of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof.

 

iv. The Holder acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit investors who have satisfied a certain holding period such securities purchased in a private placement. The Holder acknowledges that the Holder is not relying on the Company in any way to satisfy the conditions precedent for resale of securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

 

v. The Holder acknowledges that the Holder has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from the Company or any person acting on its behalf concerning the Company and its business and to obtain any additional information, to the extent possessed by the Company (or to the extent it could have been acquired by the Company without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of the information received by the Holder. In connection therewith, the Holder acknowledges that the Holder has had the opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with the Company’s management or any person acting on its behalf. The Holder has received and reviewed all the information, both written and oral, that it desires. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Holder has been furnished with or has had the opportunity to acquire, and to review, (i) copies of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and any Form 10-Q and Form 8-K filed thereafter (the “SEC Filings”), and other publicly available documents, and (ii) all information, both written and oral, that it desires with respect to the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and prospects. In determining whether to make this investment, the Holder has relied solely on the Subscription Agreement, the SEC Filings, the Convertible Note and the Holder’s own knowledge and understanding of the Company and its business based upon the Holder’s own due diligence investigations and the information furnished pursuant to this paragraph. Except as set forth herein, the Subscription Agreement and the Convertible Note, the Holder understands that no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations which were not furnished pursuant to this paragraph and the Holder has not relied on any other representations or information.

 

vi. The Holder has all requisite legal and other power and authority to execute and deliver this Warrant and to carry out and perform the Holder’s obligations under the terms of this Warrant. This Warrant constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Holder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other general principals of equity, whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or law.

 

vii. The Holder has not, and will not, incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Holder, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Warrant.

 

viii. To the extent the Holder deems necessary, the Holder has reviewed with the Holder’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant. The Holder relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, other than the statements or representations set forth in the Subscription Agreement, the SEC Filings, herein and in the Convertible Note. The Holder understands that the Holder (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Holder’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Warrant.

 

ix. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending against the Holder or the Holder’s properties before any court or governmental agency (nor, to the Holder’s knowledge, is there any threat thereof) which would impair in any way the Holder’s ability to enter into and fully perform the Holder’s commitments and obligations under this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

x. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Warrant, and the issuance of the Securities will not result in any material violation of, or conflict with, or constitute a material default under, any of Holder’s articles of incorporation, bylaws or other; governing documents, if applicable, or any of the Holder’s material agreements nor result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge against any of the assets or properties of the Holder or the Securities.

 

xi. Holder acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are speculative and involve a high degree of risk and that the Holder can bear the economic risk of the purchase of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof, including a total loss of his/her/its investment. Holder acknowledges that he/she/it has carefully reviewed and considered the risk factors contained in the Subscription Agreement, as well as the factors described under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s SEC Filings.

 

xii. The Holder recognizes that no federal, state or foreign agency has recommended or endorsed the purchase of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof.

 

xiii. Holder understands that any and all certificates representing this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof and any and all securities issued in replacement thereof or in exchange therefor shall bear the legend, or one substantially similar thereto, described in Section 8(a), which Holder has read and understands.

 

xiv. In addition, the certificates representing this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof, and any and all securities issued in replacement thereof or in exchange therefor, shall bear such legend as may be required by the securities laws of the jurisdiction in which the Holder resides.

 

xv. Holder further represents that the address set forth below is his/her principal residence (or, if the Holder is a corporation, partnership or other entity, the address of its principal place of business).

 

xvi. The Holder represents that Holder has not received any general solicitation or general advertising regarding the purchase of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof.

 

xvii. The Holder further represents that the social security number or taxpayer identification set forth below is correct, and the Holder is not subject to backup withholding because (i) the Holder has not been notified that he/she/it is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest and dividends, or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the Holder that he/she/it is no longer subject to backup withholding.

 

9. Warrant Register. The Company shall keep and properly maintain at its principal executive offices books for the registration of the Warrant and any transfers thereof. The Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Warrant is registered on such register as the Holder thereof for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, except any assignment, division, combination or other transfer of the Warrant effected in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

 

10. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient (with confirmation of transmission); or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

12. Equitable Relief. Each of the Company and the Holder acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under this Warrant would give rise to irreparable harm to the other party hereto for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by party of any obligation, the other party hereto shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction.

17. Amendment and Modification; Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Warrant may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver by the Company or the Holder of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Warrant shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

 

 

19. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

 

20. Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America or the courts of the State of Delaware in each case located in the city of Wilmington, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by certified or registered mail to such party’s address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or any proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

21. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Warrant is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

22. Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Warrant delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Warrant.

 

23. No Strict Construction. This Warrant shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted.
