COMMON STOCK ADJUSTMENT WARRANT
No. [__]
To Receive Shares of $.03 Par Value Common Stock of
PHARMOS CORPORATION
THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, [____________] (the "Investor") is

to time ( but not more than twice) from PHARMOS CORPORATION, a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
determined in accordance with Section 3 hereof (the "Adjustment Shares"). The
"Exercise Price" is $.03. The Exercise Price and the number of shares for which
the Adjustment Warrant is exercisable shall be subject to adjustment as provided
herein. This Adjustment Warrant is being issued in connection with the Common
Stock Investment Agreement dated as of September 1, 2000 (the "Agreement")
entered into between the Company and the Investor. Any capitalized terms used
but not defined in this Adjustment Warrant shall have the meaning specified in
the Agreement.
1. Title of Adjustment Warrant. Prior to the expiration hereof and subject to
compliance with applicable laws, this Adjustment Warrant and all rights
hereunder are transferable, in whole or in respect of the right to receive
any part of the Adjustment Shares, at the office or agency of the Company
by the holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon
surrender of this Adjustment Warrant together with (a) the Assignment Form
annexed hereto properly endorsed, and (b) any other documentation
reasonably necessary to satisfy the Company that such transfer is in
compliance with all applicable securities laws.
2. Authorization of Shares. The Company covenants that all shares of Common

represented by this Adjustment Warrant will, upon exercise of the rights
represented by this Adjustment Warrant will be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any
transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue or otherwise specified
herein).
3. Exercise of Adjustment Warrant for Adjustment Shares.
(a) Definitions
"Adjustment Number" means [____] [$0.5 MILLION / SHARE PURCHASE PRICE] in
each of the two (2) Adjustment Periods. [COMPANY WILL SUPPLY INFORMATION
AND ALLOW SUBSTITUTION OF PAGE WHEN # IS KNOWN]
Subject to Section 3(h), "Adjustment Period" means, as applicable, (i) the
period starting one (1) Trading Day after the day on which a registration
statement covering the Initial Shares is first declared effective by the
SEC and ending on and including the 15th consecutive Trading Day
thereafter, and (ii) the next succeeding 15 consecutive Trading Day period.
No Adjustment Period may commence until the preceding Adjustment Period is
completed in accordance with this Adjustment Warrant.
"Adjusted Share Purchase Price" means 110% of the Share Purchase Price. The
Adjusted Share Purchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect
stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, etc.
"Effective Registration" shall have the meaning specified in the Agreement.
"Set Price" means, for a particular Adjustment Period, the average of the
closing bid prices for a share of Common Stock for each of the 15 Trading
Days in such Adjustment Period.
(b) Company Election of Cash or Stock. Subject to the other provisions of this
Adjustment Warrant, the Company shall elect, by delivering written notice
received by the Investor at least three (3) Trading Days prior to the start
of a particular Adjustment Period, to satisfy, after exercise by the holder
pursuant to Section 3(e) below, its adjustment obligations (if any) for
such Adjustment Period either wholly in cash or wholly in Adjustment
Shares, but not in a combination of the two. The number of Adjustment
Shares deliverable by the Company to the Investor will be calculated in
accordance with Section 3(c) and the amount of cash deliverable by the
Company to the Investor will be calculated in accordance with Section 3(d).
If the Company fails to make any election for a particular Adjustment
Period, the default method of payment by the Company to the Investor will
be cash. No payments will be due pursuant to Sections 3(c) or 3(d) unless
the Set Price is less than the Adjusted Share Purchase Price for such
Adjustment Period.
2
(c) Adjustment Share Calculations. Subject to Sections 3(f) and (g), if the
Company elects under Section 3(b) to pay in Adjustment Shares, the number
of Adjustment Shares (if any) issuable in respect of a particular
Adjustment Period shall be calculated immediately following the close of
the Principal Market on the final Trading Day of such Adjustment Period,
using the following formula:
# of Adjustment Shares = Adjustment Number x (Adjusted Share Purchase Price - Set Price)
-------------------------------------------
Set Price
In addition to the number of Adjustment Shares resulting from the formula
above, if the Investor exercises other than in a cashless exercise the
Company shall also deliver a number of additional shares of Common Stock
equal to: (# of Adjustment Shares due per above formula x $.03) / Fair
Market Value (as defined below).
(d) Cash Calculations. If the Company elects under Section 3(b) to pay cash,
the amount of cash (if any) payable in respect of a particular Adjustment
Period shall be calculated immediately following the close of the Principal
Market on the final Trading Day of such Adjustment Period, using the
following formula:
cash amount = Adjustment Number x (Adjusted Share Purchase Price - Set Price)
In addition to the cash amount resulting from the formula above, if the
Investor exercises other than in a cashless exercise the Company shall also
pay cash to the Investor equal to the Adjustment Number x $.03.
(e) Exercise of Adjustment Warrant. Exercise of the rights represented by this
Adjustment Warrant may be made at any time or times, in whole or in part,
after the termination of the applicable Adjustment Period and prior to 5:00
p.m. New York City time on the Termination Date by delivery by fax on any
business day of a "Notice of Exercise" in the form annexed hereto duly
completed and executed, with hardcopy of the Notice of Exercise and this
Adjustment Warrant to follow within one business day at the principal
office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it
may designate by notice in writing to the registered holder hereof at the
address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company); whereupon
the holder of this Adjustment Warrant shall be entitled to receive a
certificate for the number of Adjustment Shares or the amount of cash, as
applicable, for which this Adjustment Warrant has been so exercised. The
Investor may exercise at its option either by paying the Exercise Price in
cash or by making a cashless exercise as provided in the next paragraph.
Certificates for Adjustment Shares or cash, as applicable, shall be
delivered to the holder hereof within three (3) Trading Days after the date
of the Notice of Exercise (each such event being a "Fill-up Closing").
The holder may exercise this Adjustment Warrant, in whole or in part in a
"cashless" or "net-issue" exercise by delivering to the offices of the
Company or any transfer agent for the Common Stock this Adjustment Warrant,
together with a Notice of Exercise specifying the number of Adjustment
Shares to be delivered to such holder ("Deliverable
3
Shares") and the number of Adjustment Shares with respect to which this
Warrant is being surrendered in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for
the Deliverable Shares ("Surrendered Shares").
The number of Deliverable Shares shall be calculated as follows:
# of Deliverable Shares = # of Surrendered Shares x Fair Market Value of Common Stock less Exercise Price
-----------------------------------------------------
Fair Market Value of Common Stock
If the holder elects to make a cashless exercise when the Company has
elected pursuant to Section 3(b) to satisfy its obligations hereunder in
cash, the holder shall not be required to deliver the Exercise Price.
(f) Effective Registration During Stock Adjustment Period.
(i) If at any time during an Adjustment Period for which the Company
has elected to issue Adjustment Shares there shall be a lack of Effective
Registration, or the Company has failed to deliver Adjustment Shares or
cash in lieu thereof for any previous Adjustment Period in accordance with
this Adjustment Warrant, the Investor may at its option either (x) waive
the lack of Effective Registration or non-delivery of Adjustment Shares or
cash, in which case the Adjustment Period will continue uninterrupted with
respect to the Investor in accordance with the other provisions of this
Section 3, or (y) by written notice to the Company (delivered no later than
24 hours after actually receiving written notification from the Company of
such lack of Effective Registration) elect to suspend such Adjustment
Period with respect to itself (a "Suspension Notice").
(ii) If the Investor elects pursuant to subsection (i) above to
suspend a particular Adjustment Period and Effective Registration is
subsequently re-established or such Adjustment Shares delivered or cash
paid, either before or after the scheduled end of such Adjustment Period,
then the Investor may, at its option, elect either (x) to treat such
Adjustment Period as tolled for the duration (however long) of the lack of
Effective Registration, such that the first full day of Effective
Registration following delivery of the Suspension Notice shall be treated
as and deemed to be the next day of that tolled Adjustment Period, or (y)
to treat such Adjustment Period as having never commenced, such that the
first full day of Effective Registration following delivery of the
Suspension Notice shall be treated as and deemed to be the first day of the
Adjustment Period interrupted by the lack of Effective Registration. The
Investor shall have two (2) Trading Days after receiving written notice
from the Company of the re-establishment of Effective Registration to make
such election.
(iii) Nothing in this Section 3(f) shall limit the Investor's right to
be eligible to receive Adjustment Shares or immediately available funds in
respect of two (2) separate Adjustment Periods. There cannot be more than
one Adjustment Period at one time.
4
(g) Effective Registration as of Fill-up Closing. If the Company has elected to
settle in Adjustment Shares and there is not Effective Registration on the
date of the Fill-up Closing, then the Investor shall have the option but
not the obligation to receive from the Company, in lieu of the Adjustment
Shares otherwise deliverable, an amount in immediately available funds
equal to the product of (i) the highest closing bid price of the Common
Stock on the Principal Market (as defined below) from the final Trading Day
of the applicable Adjustment Period through and including the Trading Day
immediately prior to the date of the Fill-up Closing, and (ii) the number
of Adjustment Shares the Company otherwise would be obligated to deliver to
the Investor at such Fill-up Closing.
(h) Delay of Adjustment Periods. By delivering a written notice to the Company
prior to the commencement of the first Adjustment Period, the Investor may
elect one time only to delay the commencement of the Adjustment Periods
applicable to such Investor for a single, continuous period not to exceed
60 calendar days. Such notice shall specify the commencement date of the
delayed first adjustment period.
(i) Remedies. If the Company fails to deliver the specified number of
Adjustment Shares or amount of immediately available funds, as applicable,
to an Investor within 3 Trading Days of the date of the Fill-up Closing,
and at the place specified in this Section 3, then the Investor may,
without reducing its other rights at law or in equity, compel the Company
to repurchase all or a part of its Securities (including the number of
Adjustment Shares which, without regard to Effective Registration, should
have been delivered by the Company) at the applicable Premium Redemption
Price (as defined in, and as specified, in the Registration Rights
Agreement).
(j) Adjustments. The number of Adjustment Shares shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or
similar event so that the Investor receives the same economically
equivalent value of Adjustment Shares as it would in the absence of such
event.
(k) Miscellaneous. The Adjustment Shares shall upon delivery to the Investor be
fully-paid, nonassessable, shares of Common Stock, free and clear of all
liens and encumbrances and duly eligible for trading on the Nasdaq National
Market System or if the Common Stock is not quoted thereon, on such
exchange or market (which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean the New
York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Small Cap
Market) upon which the Common Stock is principally traded or quoted (in
either case, the "Principal Market").
4. Non-Certificated Shares. In lieu of delivering physical certificates
representing the Adjustment Shares, provided the Company's transfer agent
is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated
Securities Transfer ("FAST") program, upon request of the Adjustment
Warrant holder, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its
transfer agent to electronically transmit the Adjustment Shares to the
Adjustment Warrant holder by crediting the account of Adjustment Warrant
holder's prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission ("DWAC")
5
system. The time periods for delivery described in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall apply to the electronic transmittals described
herein.
The term "Trading Day" means (x) if the Common Stock is listed on the New
York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, a day on which there is
trading on such stock exchange, or (y) if the Common Stock is not listed on
either of such stock exchanges but sale prices of the Common Stock are
reported on an automated quotation system, a day on which trading is
reported on the principal automated quotation system on which sales of the
Common Stock are reported, or (z) if the foregoing provisions are
inapplicable, a day on which quotations are reported by National Quotation
Bureau Incorporated.
5. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the issuance of the Adjustment
Shares
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for shares of Common
Stock upon the exercise of this Adjustment Warrant shall be made without
charge to the holder hereof for any issue or transfer tax or other
incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of
which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such
certificates shall be issued in the name of the holder of this Adjustment
Warrant or in such name or names as may be directed by the holder of this
Adjustment Warrant; provided, however, that in the event certificates for
shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than the name of
the holder of this Adjustment Warrant, this Adjustment Warrant when
surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form
attached hereto duly executed by the holder hereof; and provided further,
that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of any
Adjustment Warrant certificates or any certificates for the Adjustment
Shares other than the issuance of a Adjustment Warrant Certificate to the
Investor in connection with the Investor's surrender of a Adjustment
Warrant Certificate upon the exercise of less than all of the Adjustment
Warrants evidenced thereby, and the Company shall not be required to issue
or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons
requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount
of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company
that such tax has been paid.
7. Closing of Books. The Company will at no time close its shareholder books
or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this
Adjustment Warrant.
8. No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise. Subject to Section 13 of this
Adjustment Warrant and the provisions of any other written agreement
between the Company and the Investor, the Investor shall not be entitled to
vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Adjustment Shares or
any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the
exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be
construed to confer upon the Investor, as such, any of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of
directors or upon any matter submitted to
6
stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any
corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock,
reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no
par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to receive
notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or
otherwise until the Adjustment Warrant shall have been exercised as
provided herein. However, at the time of the exercise of this Adjustment
Warrant pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Adjustment Shares so purchased
hereunder shall be deemed to be issued to such holder as the record owner
of such shares as of the close of business on the date of the Notice of
Exercise.
9. Assignment and Transfer of Adjustment Warrant. This Adjustment Warrant may
be assigned in whole or in part by the surrender of this Adjustment Warrant
and the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed at the office of the
Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate
by notice in writing to the registered holder hereof at the address of such
holder appearing on the books of the Company); provided, however, that this
Adjustment Warrant may not be resold or otherwise transferred except (i) in
a transaction registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), or (ii) in a transaction pursuant to an exemption, if available,
from registration under the Act and whereby, if requested by the Company,
an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company is obtained by
the holder of this Adjustment Warrant to the effect that the transaction is
so exempt.
10. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Adjustment Warrant. Upon receipt
by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any Adjustment Warrant or stock
certificate representing the Adjustment Shares, and in case of loss, theft
or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon
reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto.
Upon surrender and cancellation of such Adjustment Warrant or stock
certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new
Adjustment Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of this Adjustment Warrant or stock certificate.
11. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the
taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may
be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a
legal holiday.
12. Effect of Certain Events. If at any time while this Adjustment Warrant or
any portion thereof is outstanding and unexpired there shall be (i) a sale
or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or (ii) a
transaction (by merger or otherwise) in which more than 50% of the voting
power of the Company is disposed of (collectively, a "Sale or Merger
Transaction"), in which the consideration to be received by the Company or
its shareholders consists solely of cash, and in case the Company shall at
any time effect a Sale or Merger Transaction in which the consideration to
be received by the Company or its shareholders consists in part of
consideration other than cash, the holder
7
of this Adjustment Warrant shall have the right thereafter to purchase, by
exercise of this Adjustment Warrant, the kind and amount of cash, shares
and other securities and property which it would have owned or have been
entitled to receive after the happening of such transaction had this
Adjustment Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto, subject to
further adjustment as provided in Section 13. Notwithstanding the above, a
Sale or Merger Transaction shall not be deemed to occur in the event the
Company is the acquiring entity in connection with an acquisition by the
Company.
13. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Adjustment Warrant Shares.
The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this
Adjustment Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time as follows:
(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and other Issuances. If the Company shall at any
time after the date hereof but prior to the expiration of this Adjustment
Warrant subdivide its outstanding securities as to which purchase rights
under this Adjustment Warrant exist, by split-up, spin-off, or otherwise,
or combine its outstanding securities as to which purchase rights under
this Adjustment Warrant exist, the number of Adjustment Shares as to which
this Adjustment Warrant is exercisable as of the date of such subdivision,
split-up, spin-off or combination shall forthwith be proportionately
increased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately decreased in the
case of a combination.
(b) Stock Dividend. If at any time after the date hereof the Company declares a
dividend or other distribution on Common Stock payable in Common Stock or
other securities or rights convertible into Common Stock ("Common Stock
Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by holders of Common
Stock for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock
Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise or conversion thereof), then the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Adjustment Warrant may be exercised shall be increased as of
the record date (or the date of such dividend distribution if no record
date is set) for determining which holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive such dividends, in proportion to the increase in the
number of outstanding shares (and shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of all such securities convertible into Common Stock) of Common
Stock as a result of such dividend.
(c) Other Distributions. If at any time after the date hereof the Company
distributes to holders of its Common Stock, other than as part of its
dissolution, liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, any shares of
its capital stock, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other
than Common Stock), then the number of Adjustment Shares for which this
Adjustment Warrant is exercisable shall be increased to equal: (i) the
number of Adjustment Shares for which this Adjustment Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such event, (ii) multiplied by a fraction,
(A) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value (as defined
below) per share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or
distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market
Value
8
price per share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or
distribution minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of the
value (as jointly determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company and the Adjustment Warrant holder) of any and all such evidences of
indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities or property, so
distributed. Alternatively, each Investor shall have the option but not the
obligation to participate in such distribution on an "on converted" basis
without regard to Section 14. For purposes of this Adjustment Warrant,
"Fair Market Value" shall equal the 10 Trading Day average closing trading
price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market for the 10 Trading Days
preceding the date of determination or, if the Common Stock is not listed
or admitted to trading on any Principal Market, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices on the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New
York Stock Exchange member firm reasonably selected from time to time by
the Company for that purpose and reasonably acceptable to the Holder, or,
if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on the Principal
Market or traded over-the-counter and the average price cannot be
determined as contemplated above, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
shall be as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company's Board of
Directors with the concurrence of the Holder.
(d) Merger, etc. If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a merger
or consolidation of the Company with or into or a transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company to another entity, then the
Adjustment Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive upon or after such
transfer, merger or consolidation becoming effective, the number of shares
or other securities or property of the Company or of the successor
corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation, which would have
been received by Adjustment Warrant Holder for the shares of stock subject
to this Adjustment Warrant had this Adjustment Warrant been exercised just
prior to such transfer, merger or consolidation becoming effective or to
the applicable record date thereof, as the case may be. The Company will
not merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell or
otherwise transfer its property, assets and business substantially as an
entirety to another corporation, unless the corporation resulting from such
merger or consolidation (if not the Company), or such transferee
corporation, as the case may be, shall expressly assume in writing the due
and punctual performance and observance of each and every covenant and
condition of this Adjustment Warrant to be performed and observed by the
Company.
(e) Reclassification, etc. If at any time after the date hereof there shall be
a reorganization or reclassification of the securities as to which purchase
rights under this Adjustment Warrant exist into the same or a different
number of securities of any other class or classes, then the Adjustment
Warrant Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of
this Adjustment Warrant, during the period specified herein, the number of
shares or other securities or property resulting from such reorganization
or reclassification, which would have been received by the Adjustment
Warrant Holder for the shares of stock subject to this Adjustment Warrant
had this Adjustment Warrant at such time been exercised.
9
(f) Exercise Price Adjustment. In the event that the Company issues or sells
any Common Stock or securities which are convertible into or exchangeable
for its Common Stock or any convertible securities, or any warrants or
other rights to subscribe for or to purchase or any options for the
purchase of its Common Stock or any such convertible securities (other than
shares or options issued or which may be issued pursuant to (i) the
Company's current or future employee, director or bona fide consultant
option plans or shares issued upon exercise of options, warrants or rights
outstanding on the date of the Agreement and listed in the Company's most
recent periodic report filed under the Exchange Act (ii) strategic
corporate alliances not undertaken principally for financing purposes,
(iii) arrangements with the Investor, or (iv) acquisitions of other
entities by the Company) at an effective Exercise Price per share which is
less than the Exercise Price then in effect, then the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such issue or sale shall be reduced effective
concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying
the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which
shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of
Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for
such additional shares would purchase at such Exercise Price then in
effect; and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or
sale.
For the purposes of the foregoing adjustment, in the case of the issuance
of any convertible securities, warrants, options or other rights to
subscribe for or to purchase or exchange for, shares of Common Stock
("Convertible Securities"), the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible
Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding, provided that no further
adjustment shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon
exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities.
The number of shares which may be purchased hereunder shall be increased
proportionately to any reduction in Exercise Price pursuant to this
paragraph 13(f), so that after such adjustments the aggregate Exercise
Price payable hereunder for the increased number of shares shall be the
same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect just prior to such
adjustments.
14. 9.99% Limitation.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of
shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Investor upon exercise
pursuant to the terms hereof shall not exceed a number that, when added to
the total number of shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by
such holder (other than by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights
to acquire securities (including the Warrant) that have limitations on the
Investor's right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation
set forth herein), together with all shares of Common Stock deemed
beneficially owned (other than by virtue of the ownership of securities or
rights to acquire securities that have
10
limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the
limitation set forth herein) by the holder's "affiliates" (as defined Rule
144 of the Act) ("Aggregation Parties") that would be aggregated for
purposes of determining whether a group under Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, exists, would exceed 9.99% of
the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock (the
"Restricted Ownership Percentage"). Each Holder shall have the right (w) at
any time and from time to time to reduce its Restricted Ownership
Percentage immediately upon notice to the Company and (x) at any time and
from time to time, to increase its Restricted Ownership Percentage
immediately in the event of the announcement as pending or planned of an
event of:
(i) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other
corporation or other entity or person (whether or not the Company is the
surviving corporation), or any other corporate reorganization or
transaction or series of related transactions in which in excess of 50% of
the Company's voting power is transferred through a merger, consolidation,
tender offer or similar transaction,
(ii) any person (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act),
together with its affiliates and associates (as such terms are defined in
Rule 405 under the 1933 Act), beneficially owns or is deemed to
beneficially own (as described in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act without
regard to the 60-day exercise period) in excess of 50% of the Company's
voting power,
(iii) there is a replacement of more than one-half of the members of
the Company's Board of Directors which is not approved by those individuals
who are members of the Company's Board of Directors on the date thereof, in
one or a series of related transactions, or
(iv) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company, determined on a consolidated basis.
(b) The Investor covenants at all times on each day (each such day being
referred to as a "Covenant Day") as follows: During the balance of such
Covenant Day and the succeeding sixty-one (61) days (the balance of such
Covenant Day and the succeeding 61 days being referred to as the "Covenant
Period") such Investor will not acquire shares of Common Stock pursuant to
any right (including the exercise of the Warrant) existing at the
commencement of the Covenant Period to the extent the number of shares so
acquired by such holder and its Aggregation Parties (ignoring all
dispositions) would exceed:
(x) the Restricted Ownership Percentage of the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at the commencement of the Covenant Period,
minus
(y) the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such holder and its
Aggregation Parties at the commencement of the Covenant Period.
11
A new and independent covenant will be deemed to be given by the
holder as of each moment of each Covenant Day. No covenant will terminate,
diminish or modify any other covenant. The holder agrees to comply with
each such covenant. This Section 14 controls in the case of any conflict
with any other provision of the Transaction Documents.
The Company's obligation to issue Shares of Common Stock which would
exceed such limits referred to in this Section 14 shall be suspended to the
extent necessary until such time, if any, as shares of Common Stock may be
issued in compliance with such restrictions.
