THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (TRACKING) (this "Warrant") certifies that, for value received, Elutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation, its successors and permitted assigns (together, "Holder"), is entitled, at any time on or after the Issue Date specified above (the "Issue Date") and prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Issue Date (the "Expiration Date"), to purchase from The Management Network Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Company"), up to the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, par value $0.005 per share, of Company (the "Common Stock") specified above (the "Warrant Shares") at the applicable exercise price per Share set forth in Section 1 of this Warrant (the "Warrant Exercise Price") or to exercise this Warrant into Shares, in each case subject to the adjustments and provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant. This Warrant has been issued pursuant to an Investment Agreement, dated as of [•], between Company and Holder (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the "Investment Agreement"). Initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Investment Agreement.

 

1.           EXERCISE

 

This Warrant shall be exercisable into shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.

 

1.1.         Exercise Rights.

 

(a)          On or after the date hereof but prior to the Expiration Date, Holder shall be entitled to exercise (on one or more separate occasions) any portion of the outstanding and unexercised Total Exercise Amount (as hereinafter defined) into Shares in accordance with Section 1.3, at the Exercise Rate (as hereinafter defined), provided that with respect to any exercise the Holder may not exercise less than the lesser of (i) an Exercise Amount equal to $250,000 or (ii) the full Total Exercise Amount then outstanding.

 

 

(b)          On or after the date that is 30 months following issuance of this Warrant, provided that, at the time the Company causes exercise, (1) Company (on a consolidated basis) has cash and cash equivalents (net of any amounts required to cover checks and similar instruments issued by the Company which have not cleared and determined in conformity with GAAP applied consistently with the application thereof in the preparation of the balance sheet included in the most recent financial statements included in the Company’s SEC filings) (the “Company Cash”) of not less than $9,500,000 and (2) the result of (i) the current assets of the Company (on a consolidated basis) determined in conformity with GAAP applied consistently with the application thereof in the preparation of the balance sheet included in the most recent financial statements included in the Company’s SEC filings minus (ii) the current liabilities of the Company (on a consolidated basis) determined in conformity with GAAP applied consistently with the application thereof in the preparation of the balance sheet included in the most recent financial statements included in the Company’s SEC Documents (the “Net Working Capital”) is not less than $13,000,000, the Company shall be entitled to cause Holder to exercise all or any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Total Exercise Amount (as hereinafter defined) into Shares in accordance with Section 1.3, at the Exercise Rate (as hereinafter defined).

 

(c)          On or after the date as of which the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on each Trading Day during any consecutive 90-day period after the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Issue Date of this Warrant has exceeded $5.50 per share (subject to proportionate adjustment for stock splits, subdivisions and combinations of shares and similar events affecting the Common Stock) (the “Threshold Common Stock Price”), provided that (i) at such time the Company causes exercise the Threshold Common Stock Price is then exceeded, (ii) the Company Cash is not less than $9,500,000 and (iii) the Net Working Capital is not less than $13,000,000, the Company shall be entitled to cause Holder to exercise all or any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Total Exercise Amount into Shares in accordance with Section 1.3, at the Exercise Rate.

 

(d)          No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, and any portion of the Exercise Amount that otherwise would be exercisable into a fractional share shall be paid in cash in an amount based on the Warrant Exercise Price.

 

1.2.         Exercise Rate. The number of Shares issuable upon exercise of any Exercise Amount pursuant to Section 1.1 (the "Exercise Rate") shall be determined by dividing (x) the Exercise Amount by (y) the Warrant Exercise Price.

 

(a)          "Exercise Amount" means the value of the Warrant Shares being exercised pursuant to a respective exercise determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price by the number of Warrant Shares being exercised.

 

(b)          "Total Exercise Amount" means the aggregate sum of [$3,268,664.32], as reduced by the Exercise Amount of each exercise hereunder.

 

 

(c)          "Warrant Exercise Price" means $3.28 per Share, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

1.3.         Procedure for Exercise. To exercise all or any portion of the Total Exercise Amount into Shares on any date (an "Exercise Date"), the party electing to cause such exercise shall (a) transmit by facsimile or otherwise in accordance with Section 7.2, for receipt on or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Appendix I (the "Exercise Notice") to the other party (in the case of notice from Company, with appropriate changes to the form for exercise caused by Company rather than Holder), and (b) in the case of Holder, pay to Company in immediately available funds an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Amount (the “Cash Payment”), and also cause this Warrant to be delivered to Company as soon as reasonably practicable on or following such date (but no later than within five (5) Business Days following the date on which the Exercise Notice is given by the Company or Holder); provided, however, that if the Note is still outstanding, then (i) the Exercise Amount shall be offset and decreased by an equal amount of accrued, but unpaid, interest plus principal outstanding under the Note (the “Set-Off Amount”), and (ii) such amount of principal and accrued, but unpaid, interest outstanding under the Note shall be reduced by the Set-Off Amount. If the exercising party is Company and if the amount outstanding under the Note is less than the Exercise Amount, Holder shall make a Cash Payment to the Company in an amount equal to the unpaid portion of the Exercise Amount within fifty (50) days following the date on which the Exercise Notice is given and if such Cash Payment is not made within such fifty (50) day period and Holder does not make such Cash Payment within ten (10) days after delivery of written notice from Company that such Cash Payment has not been made, then this Warrant shall no longer be exercisable and shall be of no further force or effect with respect to the Warrant Shares subject to such portion of the Exercise Amount. On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day following the date of receipt of an Exercise Notice, the receiving party shall transmit by electronic mail to the Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel of the other party a confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice to the transmitting party (at the electronic mail address provided in the Exercise Notice) and Company's transfer agent, if any. On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day following the date of receipt or transmittal of an Exercise Notice and receipt by Company of the Exercise Amount (by payment in cash or Set-Off Amount) and this Warrant, Company shall issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice (if given by Holder, otherwise to the address of Holder as set forth in Company's records), a certificate, registered in the name of Holder or its designee, for the number of Shares to which Holder shall be entitled together with cash for any fractional interest. Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after receipt of this Warrant and the other items above and at its own expense, issue and deliver to Holder a new Warrant, substantially identical hereto, representing the outstanding Warrant Shares not exercised. With respect to exercises caused by Company, Company shall keep proper written records of the amount of this Warrant exercised as of each Exercise Date until this Warrant is delivered to Company. Except with respect to any failure to pay the Exercise Amount, the Person(s) entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon an exercise of this Warrant shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Shares on the Exercise Date, notwithstanding when items other than the Exercise Notice are transmitted or delivered.

 

 

1.4.         Reservation of Shares Issuable upon Exercise. Company shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, such number of Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of all of the Total Exercise Amount; and if at any time the number of Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of all of the Total Exercise Amount, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder, Company shall take such action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

 

2.           ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES. The Warrant Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall each be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2.

 

2.1.         Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, Company declares or pays a dividend or other distribution on the outstanding shares of the Common Stock payable in additional shares of the Common Stock or other securities (including rights to acquire securities), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number of shares of Common Stock or the total number and kind of other securities, as applicable, to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder held such Shares as of the date on which a record is taken for such dividend or other distribution. If Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased as of the date on which a record is taken for such subdivision. If the outstanding shares of the Common Stock are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately decreased as of the date on which a record is taken for such combination or consolidation.

 

2.2.         Reorganization, Reclassification, Exchange, Conversion or Substitution. Upon any reorganization, reclassification (other than a subdivision, combination or consolidation referred to in Section 2.1), exchange, conversion, substitution, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets followed by a liquidation of Company or similar event affecting the outstanding shares of the Common Stock at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (“Reorganization Event”), Holder shall be entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation), upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised in full immediately before such Reorganization Event, at an aggregate Warrant Exercise Price not exceeding the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price in effect as of immediately prior thereto. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any Reorganization Event, the Holder may elect prior to the record date or consummation date (if there is no record date) of such Reorganization Event to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part to the extent then exercisable instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 2.2 with respect to this Warrant.

 

 

2.3.         Distributions. If Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or other assets (excluding (a) evidences of indebtedness and other assets referred to in Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 above or Section 2.8, and (b) dividends or distributions paid in cash), then in each such case the Warrant Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant 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 Closing Price determined as of the record date mentioned above and of which the numerator shall be the Closing Price on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed with respect to one outstanding share of Common Stock. The net amount of any fair market value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined in good faith jointly by the Company Board and the Holder; provided, however, that if such net amount of fair market value received cannot be determined by the Company Board and Holder, then such net amount of fair market value received shall be determined in the same manner as determination of a Closing Price pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Investment Agreement.

 

2.4.         Fractional Shares. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise or exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or exercise of this Warrant, Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder cash in the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the Closing Price of a full Share on the date of exercise.

 

2.5.         Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Common Stock and/or number of Shares, or upon the occurrence of any transaction or event described in this Section 2 (including, without limitation, the grant of new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant as a result of a Reorganization Event), Company shall promptly notify Holder thereof in writing, and, at Company's expense, promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. In addition, Company shall promptly, following any such adjustment, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Exercise Price, Common Stock and number of Shares in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Exercise Price, Common Stock and number of Shares.

 

2.6.         Additional Anti-Dilution Rights. In order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under this Warrant, the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall also be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2.6.

 

(a)          Adjustment to Warrant Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except as provided in Section 2.6(e) and except in the case of an event described in Section 2.1, Section 2.2, or Section 2.3, if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or in accordance with Section 2.6(c) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including as a result of the issuance of Options and/or Convertible Securities) without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Market Price immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), then immediately upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to a Warrant Exercise Price equal to the quotient obtained by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction:

 

 

(i)          the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) plus (B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate amount of consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) would purchase at the Market Price; and

 

(ii)         the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale).

 

For purposes of this Warrant, “Market Price” shall mean, with respect to one Share of Common Stock for any date, the price determined as follows: (a) the 30-day volume weighted average price of the Common Stock (determined by dividing the dollar value of all Common Stock trading on the applicable Principal Trading Market for the applicable 30-day period, by the total trading volume on the applicable Principal Trading Market, for such 30-day period) for the 30-day period ending on the date of determination (subject to proportionate adjustment for stock splits, subdivisions and combinations of shares and similar events affecting the Common Stock), or (b) if the Common Stock is not so listed or quoted, as reasonably determined by the Company Board and Holder; provided, that if the Company Board and Holder cannot determine the Market Price of one Share of Common Stock, then such Market Price shall be determined in the same manner as determination of a Closing Price pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Investment Agreement.

 

(b)          Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Adjustment to Warrant Exercise Price. Upon any and each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price as provided in Section 2.6(a), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment shall be increased to a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

 

(i)          the product of (A) the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such adjustment multiplied by (B) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment; by

 

(ii)         the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

 

(c)          Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Warrant Exercise Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 2.6(a) hereof, the following shall be applicable:

 

 

(i)          Issuance of Options. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Options, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 2.6(c)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Market Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Exercise Price under Section 2.6(a)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 2.6(a)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of all such Options, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(c)(iii), no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

 

(ii)         Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 2.6(c)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Market Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2.6(a)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 2.6(a)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(c)(iii), (A) no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (B) no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Warrant Exercise Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.6(c).

 

 

(iii)        Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of any Options or Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.6(c)(i) or Section 2.6(c)(ii) hereof, (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.6(c)(i) or Section 2.6(c)(ii) hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.6(c)(i) or Section 2.6(c)(ii) hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any Options referred to in Section 2.6(c)(i) hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.6(c)(ii) hereof, then (whether or not the original issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 2.6) the Warrant Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Warrant Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.6 had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment the Warrant Exercise Price that was in effect at the time originally granted is reduced, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment or readjustment shall be correspondingly adjusted or readjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6(b).

 

(iv)        Treatment of Expired or Terminated Options or Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or any unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) for which any adjustment (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made pursuant to this Section 2.6 (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of all or any portion of such Option or Convertible Security by the Company), the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.6 to the Warrant Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof), to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

 

 

(v)         Calculation of Consideration Received. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in accordance with Section 2.6(c), any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the fair market value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company shall be the closing price (as reflected on any securities exchange, quotation system or association or similar pricing system covering such security) for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the aggregate consideration received by the Company in such transaction as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued in such transaction; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The net amount of any consideration and the fair market value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined in good faith jointly by the Company Board and the Holder; provided, however, that if such net amount of cash consideration and/or fair market value received cannot be determined by the Company Board and Holder, then such net amount of consideration and/or fair market value received shall be determined in the same manner as determination of a Closing Price pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Investment Agreement.

 

(d)          Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Company Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 2; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.6(d) shall increase the Warrant Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2. In addition, the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws 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 conditions and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.

 

(e)          Exceptions To Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to any Excluded Issuances.

 

2.7.         Notices. In the event:

 

(a)          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 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;

 

 

(b)          of any Reorganization Event;

 

(c)          of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; or

 

(d)          that any other event occurs that would result in any adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable to Holder pursuant to this Section 2;

 

then, and in each such case, the Company shall send or cause to be sent to the Holder on the earlier of (i) at least 10 days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for such event and (ii) the date upon which the Company sends such written notice to the other holders of Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) of such event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right along with copies of all relevant materials related to such event (including, without limitation, any indentures related to indebtedness distributed to stockholders), or (B) the effective date on which such Reorganization Event, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other Capital Stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other Capital Stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such Reorganization Event, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares (including, without limitation, the number, class and series or other designation of such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant as a result of such Reorganization Event).

 

2.8.         Purchase Rights. Without duplicating any purchase rights granted under the Investment Agreement or any other warrant or instrument, in addition to any adjustments pursuant to this Section 2, if at any time the Company grants or issues or sells Options or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Holder shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder would have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder shall not be entitled to the Purchase Rights granted herein with respect to any Excluded Issuance.

 

 

2.9.         Limitation on Additional Anti-Dilution Rights and Purchase Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at any given time or pursuant to the Purchase Rights, when combined with the aggregate number of Warrant Shares previously issued upon conversion of this Warrant and any other Warrant issued by the Company pursuant to the Investment Agreement and any Shares sold pursuant to the Investment Agreement, shall not, in the absence of receipt of the Required Approval (i) exceed 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date or (ii) result in a "change of control" of Company within the meaning of the applicable NASDAQ rules, and the number of Warrant Shares that may be issued or sold shall be adjusted accordingly to prevent a violation of NASDAQ rules; provided, however, that any Warrant Shares not so issued or sold shall remain Warrant Shares issuable upon a future exercise of this Warrant in the event that the Company decides to seek and obtains the required stockholder approval at a later time. The Company shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of Required Approval, if obtained, deliver to the Holder a certificate, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, certifying that the limitation contained in this Section 2.9 has been duly removed by the Company and is no longer applicable to this Warrant (except to the extent a separate stockholder vote is required under NASDAQ rules for any future offering pursuant to the Purchase Rights).

 

3.           CERTAIN AGREEMENTS

 

Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

 

3.1.         Shares to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares shall, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all Liens. Upon delivery to the Holder of the Warrant Shares, good and valid title to the Warrant Shares shall pass to the Holder free and clear of all Liens.

 

3.2.         Reservation of Shares. Until the Expiration Date, Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the full exercise of this Warrant, such number of Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise with respect to all of the Warrant Shares that may be received pursuant to this Warrant; and if at any time the number of Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the full exercise of this Warrant, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder, Company shall take such action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

In addition to the foregoing restrictions, this Warrant is subject to the restrictions set forth in the Investment Agreement and neither this Warrant nor any interest herein may be assigned, pledged, sold or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of Company in its sole discretion.

No delay, forbearance, or neglect by Holder, whether in one or more instances, in the exercise of any right, power, privilege, or remedy hereunder or in the enforcement of any term or condition of this Warrant shall constitute or be construed as a waiver thereof.

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

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Warrant and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Warrant and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in any New York State court sitting in the County of New York, the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and, in each case, any appellate court therefrom. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Warrant or any of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Warrant, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 7.7, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Warrant, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if such process is given as a notice in accordance with Section 7.2. Each of the parties agrees that the final judgment of any such court shall be enforceable in any court having jurisdiction over the relevant party or any of its assets.

 

7.8.          Waiver of Jury Trial.

7.11.        Severability. Whenever 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 is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not render invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Warrant.

 

7.12.        Descriptive Headings; No Strict Construction. The descriptive headings of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Warrant. The parties to this Warrant have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Warrant. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Warrant shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Warrant. The parties agree that prior drafts of this Warrant shall be deemed not to provide any evidence as to the meaning of any provision hereof or the intention of the parties hereto with respect to this Warrant.

 

7.13.        Blackout Periods. If, due to any “blackout period” or other similar restriction on the purchase of Securities imposed by the Company, Holder is prevented from exercising any of its rights hereunder (including, without limitation, exercising the Warrant and purchasing Warrant Shares), then the Expiration Date shall be extended such number of days equal to the time period in which such “blackout period” or other similar restriction restricted Holder from exercising such rights. If any additional rights are afforded to any Persons subject to any such “blackout periods” or other similar restriction (including, without limitation, any notice rights), then Holder shall be afforded such additional rights.
