THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC (the “Holder”) is entitled to the consideration described herein upon exercise of this Warrant, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.

 

SECTION 1.    EXERCISE.

 

1.1              Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time after April 16, 2016 and prior to the Expiration Date, exercise this Warrant, in whole, but not in part, by delivering to the Company the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 (the date on which such Notice of Exercise is delivered, the “Exercise Date”; provided, however, that if such Notice of Exercise is delivered after 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on a Business Day (as defined below) or is delivered on a day that is not a Business Day, the Exercise Date will be the next succeeding Business Day).

 

1.2              Cash Settlement. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.3 below, upon exercise of this Warrant the Company will pay to the Holder an amount (the “Settlement Amount”), in cash, equal to the lesser of (a) $5,000,000 and (b) the Spread Value determined pursuant to the following formula:

 

Spread Value = (FMV-WP) x S

 

where:

 

FMV = the Fair Market Value of one Share, as determined pursuant to Section 1.4 below;

 

WP = the Warrant Strike Price; and

 

S = the Number of Shares.

 

1.3              Share Settlement. The Company may elect, prior to December 18, 2016 (the “Share Settlement End Date”), in lieu of delivering all or a portion of the Settlement Amount in cash, to deliver to the Holder a portion of the value of the Settlement Amount in the form of shares of Common Stock. If the Company so elects (a “Share Settlement Election”), the number of shares to be delivered will be equal to the amount (expressed in dollars) that the Company elects to settle in shares of Common Stock (such amount, the “Share Settlement Amount”) divided by the Exercise Price (as defined below). On or prior to the fifth Business Day following the Exercise Date (such fifth day, the “Settlement Method Election Date”), if permitted by this Section 1.3, the Company will notify Holder whether it is making a Share Settlement Election and, if so, shall specify the Share Settlement Amount. Any Share Settlement Election shall be subject to the following: (a) approval by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent directors of the Board if such approval by a majority of the independent directors of the Board is required by applicable law or the rules of the Trading Market on which shares of Common Stock trade, or if the Board, after taking into account the advice of outside counsel, reasonably believes that such approval by a majority of the independent directors is reasonably necessary in the discharge of the Board’s fiduciary duties and (b) approval by the stockholders of the Company that is required pursuant to the rules of any Trading Market on which the Company’s shares of Common Stock are then traded, and each such approval described in clause (a) or (b) directly above must be obtained within 90 days of the Settlement Method Election Date (the “Share Settlement Approval Date”). If no Share Settlement Election has been made by the Share Settlement End Date, following the Share Settlement End Date, the Settlement Amount must be delivered in cash in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company fails to obtain any stockholder approvals required by this Section 1.3, then such failure shall be treated as if no Share Settlement Election was made and the Company shall deliver to Holder the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.2 within five (5) Business Days after such failure.

 

1.4              Fair Market Value.

 

(a)                If the Common Stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (a “Trading Market”), the “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock (a “Share”) shall be the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average prices per Share as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page “FSAM <Equity> AQR” (or its equivalent successor if such page is not available) (such price, the “VWAP”) for each Trading Day during the 20 consecutive Trading Day Period immediately preceding the Exercise Date (such period, the “Valuation Period” and such average price the “Exercise Price”).

 

(b)               If the Common Stock is not traded in a Trading Market or the share VWAP is not available, the Fair Market Value of a Share shall be determined by the Board in its good faith judgment.

 

(c)                Notwithstanding Sections 1.4(a) and (b), if this Warrant is exercised pursuant to Section 1.7(b) below in connection with an Acquisition (as defined below), the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the per Share value received by the holders of the Common Stock pursuant to such Acquisition as determined in accordance with the definitive transaction documents executed among the parties in connection therewith; provided, however, that if it shall not be possible to determine the Fair Market Value of a Share in such manner described above, the Fair Market Value of a Share shall be deemed to be the per Share value received or receivable by the holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Acquisition as determined by the Board in its good faith judgment.

 

1.5              Delivery of Cash and/or Share Certificate. If the Company has made a Share Settlement Election, within three Business Days after the Share Settlement Approval Date, the Company shall deliver to Holder the cash (if any) payable pursuant to Section 1.2 upon such exercise and a certificate representing the Shares issuable to Holder pursuant to Section 1.3 upon such exercise. If the Company has not made a Share Settlement Election, within three Business Days after the Election Date, Company shall deliver to Holder the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.2.

 

1.6              Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like term, tenor and amount.

 

1.7              Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.

 

(a)                Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a person or group of persons acting together; or (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity.

 

(b)               Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities (as defined below) or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”), then, if immediately prior to the closing of the Cash/Public Acquisition, the Fair Market Value of one Share as determined in accordance with Section 1.4(c) above would be greater than the Warrant Strike Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall, automatically and without further action on the part of any party or other person, be deemed, as of immediately prior to the closing of such Cash/Public Acquisition, to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.1, and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the amount of cash and/or the number of Shares (or other securities) issued upon such exercise to the Holder.

 

(c)                Notice. The Company shall provide Holder with written notice of the Cash/Public Acquisition (together with such reasonable information as Holder may reasonably require regarding the treatment of this Warrant in connection with such contemplated Cash/Public Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than ten (10) Business Days following the execution of the definitive transaction agreement in connection with the proposed Cash/Public Acquisition.

 

(d)               Assumption of Obligations. Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition where the Warrant is automatically exercised pursuant to Section 1.7(b) above, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity (if other than the Company) shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and, in the case of any Acquisition where the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive cash, securities or other property (“Reference Property”) for their shares of Common Stock, all references to “Shares” in this Warrant shall instead be to the type and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would receive in such Acquisition, subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant (it being understood that no such further adjustments will be required with respect to any portion of the Reference Property that does not consist of equity securities). For purposes of the foregoing, the type and amount of consideration that holders of Common Stock are entitled to in the case of events that cause Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration because holders of Common Stock have the right to elect the type of consideration they receive will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election. The provisions of this Section 1.7(d) shall similarly apply to successive Acquisitions.

 

(e)                Definition of Marketable Securities. As used in this Warrant, “Marketable Securities” means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act; and (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by Holder in connection with the Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded in a Trading Market.

 

SECTION 2.    ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND Warrant Strike Price.

 

2.1              Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of Common Stock, payable in Common Stock, or subdivides the outstanding shares of Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the Number of Shares shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Strike Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Strike Price shall be proportionately increased and the Number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.

 

2.2              Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations, Substitution or Replacement. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

 

2.3              No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.

 

SECTION 3.    REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

 

3.1              Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Holder as follows:

 

(a)                Authorization of Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free of any taxes or liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

(b)               Due Authority. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Warrant and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. This Warrant: (i) does not violate the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (ii) does not contravene any law or governmental rule, regulation or order applicable to the Company; and (ii) does not contravene any provision of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound. This Warrant constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws) and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

 

(c)                Restrictions on Purchases and Sales. During the Initial Period, none of the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees, managed accounts and controlled Affiliates will purchase or sell any shares of Common Stock.

SECTION 4.    REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OF THE HOLDER.

 

The Holder represents and warrants to the Company (which representations and warranties will be deemed repeated upon exercise of this Warrant) as follows:

5.3              Compliance with Securities Laws on Transfer. This Warrant and the Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, if any (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) may not be offered, sold, hedged, pledged or otherwise transferred in whole or in part except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by all parties to such offer, sale, hedge, pledge or other transfer (including, without limitation, the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company).
