CONTINGENT WARRANT CERTIFICATE
Dated as of April 13, 2001
This certifies that, for value received, STERLING BOCP, LLC (the
"Holder"), is entitled to purchase from ATLANTIC PREMIUM BRANDS, LTD., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), the number of shares of the Nonvoting
Common Stock of the Company specified in Section 3.1, as adjusted as provided
for in Section 3, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein. The shares of Nonvoting Common Stock of the Company issued or
issuable upon the exercise of this Contingent Warrant are referred to
collectively as the "Warrant Shares" and individually as a "Warrant Share."
This Contingent Warrant is being issued by the Company in partial
replacement of the contingent warrant (the "Old Contingent Warrant") issued
pursuant to the Senior Subordinated Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as
of March 20, 1998 by and between the Company, as seller, and Banc One Capital
Partners, LLC ("BOCP"), as purchaser (as amended, the "Purchase Agreement").
Contemporaneously with the issuance of this Warrant, the Company is also
issuing, in partial replacement of the Old Warrant, a contingent warrant to
purchase up to 385,878 shares of its Nonvoting Common Stock in the name of BOCP
(the "BOCP Contingent Warrant," and BOCP and any future holder(s) of the BOCP
Contingent Warrant shall be referred to as the "BOCP Holder"). The issuance of
this Contingent Warrant and the BOCP Contingent Warrant together fully replace
the Old Contingent Warrant and upon their issuance the Old Contingent Warrant
shall be cancelled.
THIS AGREEMENT, AS A PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF THE OLD CONTINGENT WARRANT, IS
ONE OF THE "RELATED DOCUMENTS" REFERRED TO IN THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, AND CANNOT
BE SOLD, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 11.14
OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT.
SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS.
All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
definitions set forth in the Glossary of Defined Terms attached to the Purchase
Agreement, which definitions are, to the extent applicable, incorporated in this
Contingent Warrant by reference.
For purposes of this Warrant, the term "Warrant Expiration Date" means
that date which is earliest to occur of (i) the date on which a Qualified Public
Offering is completed, (ii) the date on which a Disposition or Non-Surviving
Combination is consummated, (iii) the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date,
or (iv) the date on which the Note (as defined in Section 2.3 below) is prepaid
in full, provided that such prepayment is made on or prior to December 31, 2001.
4
SECTION 2. DURATION AND EXERCISE OF CONTINGENT WARRANT.
2.1 CONTINGENT WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE. The purchase price per Warrant
Share payable by the Holder to the Company upon any exercise of this Contingent
Warrant (the "Warrant Exercise Price") shall be $3.38 per Warrant Share;
provided, however, that:
(i) if the Number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Contingent Warrant is adjusted as provided for in Section 3,
the Warrant Exercise Price shall be automatically adjusted
such that the Warrant Exercise Price as adjusted shall be
equal to $3.38 per Share in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of
which is the original number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Contingent Warrant as of the date of this
Contingent Warrant Share, and (B) the denominator of which is
the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Contingent Warrant as of the date of any such adjustment;
(ii) In the event that, at any time prior to the fifth anniversary
date of the Closing Date, the Company issues or sells to any
Person, other than in an Exempt Offering, for cash or in
exchange for property any shares of Common Stock or any
Convertible Securities at a price per share (or, in the case
of Convertible Securities, at an equivalent price per share of
Common Stock) that is less than the Warrant Exercise Price
then in effect, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be
automatically adjusted such that the Warrant Exercise Price as
adjusted shall be equal to the lesser of (A) a fraction (x)
the numerator of which is the sum of (i) the product of $3.38
and the number of Outstanding Common Shares outstanding as of
the date hereof, (ii) the aggregate consideration received by
Company from and after the date hereof from the issuance, sale
or exchange of shares of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities (including the fair market value of any property
received in any such issuance, sale or exchange as determined
by the Board of Directors of Company in good faith), and (iii)
the minimum consideration receivable upon the exercise of all
outstanding Convertible Securities issued after the date
hereof, divided by (y) the number of Outstanding Common Shares
outstanding immediately after such issue, sale or exchange,
and (B) the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such issue, sale or exchange.
2.2 CONTINGENT WARRANT EXERCISE PERIOD. This Contingent Warrant shall be
exercisable in a single exercise at any time after the earlier to occur of (i) a
Put Trigger Event, and (ii) the fifth anniversary date of the Closing Date, but
on or before the Warrant Expiration Date.
2.3 MANNER OF EXERCISE. This Contingent Warrant may be exercised by the
Holder upon surrender of this Contingent Warrant and the Notice of Exercise
attached hereto duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, at the
principal office of the Company (or at such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by Notice to the Holder at the
2
5
address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), upon payment of
the Warrant Exercise Price by wire transfer or delivery of a certified or
cashier's check to the Company.
The Holder may, in lieu of paying the Warrant Exercise Price by wire
transfer or delivery of a certified or cashier's check to the Company, reduce
the unpaid principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Note due March 31, 2005
in the principal amount of $650,000 payable to the Holder (the "Note") by an
amount equal to the funds which would otherwise have been delivered; provided
that the Holder shall not pay the Warrant Exercise Price through a reduction in
the unpaid principal amount of the Note if such reduction would result in a
breach or violation of the provisions of Applicable Law, its Charter Documents,
the Senior Loan Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement (or any replacements or
refinancings thereof). The Holder shall execute and deliver to the Company such
documents as the Company or its counsel may reasonably request to effect any
reduction of the unpaid principal amount of the Note pursuant to the foregoing
sentence.
2.4 WHEN EXERCISE EFFECTIVE. The exercise of this Contingent Warrant
shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business
on the Business Day on which this Contingent Warrant and the Notice of Exercise
shall have been surrendered and the Company receives (i) payment of the Warrant
Exercise Price, or (ii) the documents effecting the reduction of the unpaid
principal amount of the Note, as provided in Section 2.3; and immediately prior
to the close of business on such Business Day the Holder shall be deemed to have
become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares.
2.5 DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES, ETC. As soon as practicable after
the exercise of this Contingent Warrant, and in any event within five (5)
Business Days thereafter, the Company will cause to be issued in the name of and
delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of Warrant
Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, rounded up to
the nearest whole share. The Company will pay any taxes that may be payable in
respect of (i) the issuance of Warrant Shares, or (ii) the issuance of a new
Contingent Warrant if this Contingent Warrant is exercised as to fewer than all
the Warrant Shares to which it relates. The Company will not, however, be
required to pay any transfer tax payable because Warrant Shares or a new
Contingent Warrant are to be registered in a name other than that of the Holder,
and the Company will not be required to issue any Warrant Share or to issue a
new Contingent Warrant registered in a name other than that of the Holder until
(x) the Company receives either (A) evidence that any applicable transfer taxes
have been paid, or (B) funds with which to pay those taxes; or (y) it has been
established to the Company's satisfaction that no such tax is due.
SECTION 3. ANTIDILUTION ADJUSTMENT.
3.1 NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The number of Warrant Shares that may be
purchased by the Holder upon exercise of this Contingent Warrant is contingent
upon the Equity Valuation of the Company determined as of the fifth anniversary
date of the Closing Date (or, if such date is earlier, the date upon which this
Warrant first becomes exercisable). Such number of Warrant Shares shall be equal
to the number of Warrant Shares set opposite Equity Valuation of the Company as
of such date in the following table; provided, however, that such number of
Warrant Shares is subject to adjustment as provided for in this Section 3:
3
6
EQUITY VALUATION WARRANT SHARES
---------------- --------------
$69,000,000 or less 42,875
$69,000,001 to $74,000,000 37,895
$74,000,001 to $80,000,000 28,102
$80,000,001 to $90,000,000 18,526
$90,000,001 to $100,000,000 9,161
$100,000,001 or greater 0
As used in this Section, the term "Equity Valuation" is defined in the
Glossary of Defined Terms.
3.2 ADJUSTMENT - CAPITAL EVENT. In the event that the Company (i)
declares a dividend or makes a distribution with respect to outstanding shares
of its Capital Stock of the Company, which dividend or distribution is paid
entirely or in part in shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities, or (ii)
subdivides, combines or reclassifies outstanding shares of its Common Stock or
Convertible Securities, the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted
immediately after the applicable record date with respect to such event. The
adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be a number equal to the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Contingent Warrant immediately
prior to such event multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the
number of Fully Diluted Common Shares immediately after such event, and (ii) the
denominator of which is the number of Fully Diluted Common Shares outstanding
immediately prior to such event. Any such adjustment shall be rounded down to
the nearest whole share.
3.3 ADJUSTMENT REORGANIZATION EVENT. In the event of (i) any capital
reorganization or reclassification or recapitalization of any shares of Capital
Stock of the Company (other than an event described in Section 3.2), (ii) any
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other Person in which
the Company is not the surviving entity, or which effects a reclassification or
recapitalization of any Shares of Capital Stock of the Company, or (iii) the
sale, exchange or transfer of the property of the Company to any other Person as
an entirety or substantially as an entirety, there shall thereafter be issuable
upon the exercise of this Contingent Warrant (in lieu of the Warrant Shares), as
appropriate, the number of shares of stock, other securities or property to
which the Holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Number of
Warrant Shares then issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant at the date of
such event would have been entitled to as a result of such event.
Prior to and as a condition of the consummation of any such event, the
Company shall cause effective provisions to be made to effect the purposes of
this Section 3.3.
3.4 OTHER EVENT. In case any event shall occur as to which the other
provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable but the failure to make
any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this
Contingent Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles
hereof, then the Holder may request in writing within one hundred
4
7
twenty (120) days after the occurrence of such event that the Company examine
the propriety of an adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares. Unless the
Company, the Holder and the BOCP Holder shall have mutually agreed upon an
adjustment, or that no adjustment is required, within thirty (30) days after the
receipt of such request, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent
certified public accountants of recognized national standing (which may be the
regularly engaged accountants of the Company), to give an opinion upon the
adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and
principles established in this Section 3, necessary to preserve the purchase
rights represented by this Contingent Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion, the
Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder and shall make the
adjustments described therein. If such opinion states that no such adjustment is
necessary, the Holder shall reimburse the Company for one-half of the cost and
expense of such opinion.
SECTION 4. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
4.1 RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. Except as otherwise permitted by this Section
4, this Contingent Warrant, each Contingent Warrant issued in exchange or
substitution for this Contingent Warrant, each Contingent Warrant issued upon
the registration of Transfer of this Contingent Warrant, each certificate
representing the Warrant Shares and each certificate issued upon the
registration of Transfer of any Warrant Shares, shall be stamped or otherwise
imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
"THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF
ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED,
HYPOTHECATED OR OFFERED UNLESS THERE IS IN EFFECT A REGISTRATION STATEMENT
UNDER SUCH ACT AND LAWS COVERING SUCH SECURITIES OR THE ISSUER RECEIVES AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OR A NO-ACTION
LETTER FROM THE COMMISSION STATING THAT SUCH DISTRIBUTION, SALE, TRANSFER,
ASSIGNMENT, HYPOTHECATION OR OFFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND
PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND LAWS."
4.2 NOTICE OF PROPOSED TRANSFER; OPINION OF COUNSEL. Prior to any
Transfer of any Restricted Securities, the Holder will give Notice to the
Company of the Holder's intention to effect such Transfer. Each such Notice of a
proposed Transfer (a) shall describe the manner and circumstances of the
proposed Transfer in sufficient detail to enable counsel to render the opinion
referred to below, and (b) shall designate counsel for the Holder. The Holder
will submit a copy of such Notice to the counsel designated in such Notice and
the Company will promptly submit a copy of the Notice to its counsel. The
following provisions shall then apply:
(i) if in the opinion of counsel to the Company the proposed
Transfer may be effected without registration of such
Restricted Securities under the Securities Act, the Company
will promptly notify the Holder and the Holder shall thereupon
be entitled to Transfer such Restricted Securities in
accordance with the terms of the Notice delivered by the
Holder to the Company. Each Warrant or certificate for Warrant
Shares, if any, issued
5
8
upon or in connection with such Transfer shall bear the
applicable restrictive legend set forth above, unless in the
opinion of such counsel, such legend is no longer required to
ensure compliance with the Securities Act. If for any reason,
counsel for the Company (after having been furnished with the
information required by this Section 4.2) shall fail to
deliver an opinion to the Company, or the Company shall fail
to notify the Holder as aforesaid, within thirty (30) days
after receipt of Notice of the Holder's intention to effect a
Transfer, then for all purposes of this Contingent Warrant,
the opinion of counsel for the Holder shall be sufficient to
authorize the proposed Transfer and the opinion of counsel for
the Company shall not be required in connection with such
proposed Transfer; and
(ii) if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, the proposed
Transfer may not be effected without registration of such
Restricted Securities under the Securities Act, the Company
will promptly so notify the Holder and the Holder shall not be
entitled to Transfer such Restricted Securities until receipt
of a further Notice from the Company under clause (i) above or
until registration of such Restricted Securities under the
Securities Act has become effective.
SECTION 5. AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION.
To the extent they are applicable to the Company, the Company will comply
with the reporting requirements of Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act and all other public information reporting requirements of the
Commission (including the requirements of Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission
under the Securities Act) from time to time in effect. Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will cooperate with
the Holder at the Holder's expense to complete and file any information
reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition
to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the Transfer of
any Restricted Securities or the Transfer of Restricted Securities by affiliates
of the Company.
SECTION 6. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC.
The Company shall cause a sufficient number of shares of Nonvoting Common
Stock to permit the full exercise of this Warrant to be authorized and will,
thereafter, at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and
delivery upon the exercise of this Contingent Warrant and free from preemptive
rights, a sufficient number of shares of Nonvoting Common Stock to cover the
Warrant Shares issuable or exchangeable upon the exercise of this Contingent
Warrant. All such shares shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such
exercise and receipt of the Warrant Exercise Price, shall be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable; provided, however, that in the event (and, until
such time as) the Company fails to cause such a sufficient number of shares of
Nonvoting Common Stock to be authorized, this Warrant shall be deemed to be
exercisable to purchase an equivalent number of shares of Voting Common Stock.
6
9
SECTION 7. DUE ORGANIZATION; NO VIOLATION.
The Company shall at all times prior to the Warrant Expiration Date remain
a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the state of its incorporation. The Company shall comply in all material
respects with (i) any Applicable Law and (ii) its Charter Documents; provided,
however, that the Company may exercise in good faith its right to protest and
actively pursue the same diligently and by appropriate proceedings.
SECTION 8. CAPITALIZATION.
The Company represents and warrants that its authorized Capital Stock as
of March 19, 1998, consists solely of (i) 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of
which 7,400,174 shares are issued and outstanding and 2,345,700 shares are
reserved for issuance, and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.01 par
value, of which no shares are issued and outstanding; and that it has no other
Capital Stock authorized, issued or outstanding.
SECTION 9. OWNERSHIP; REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER; EXCHANGE AND SUBSTITUTION
OF WARRANT.
9.1 OWNERSHIP OF WARRANT. Until due presentment for Transfer, the
Company may treat the Person in whose name this Contingent Warrant is registered
on the register kept at the Company's principal office as the owner and holder
hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any Notice to the contrary, provided
that when this Contingent Warrant has been properly Transferred, the Company
shall treat such transferee as the owner of this Contingent Warrant for all
purposes, notwithstanding any Notice to the contrary. Subject to the foregoing
provisions and to Section 4, this Contingent Warrant, if properly Transferred,
may be exercised by the transferee without first having a new Warrant issued.
9.2 REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS. Subject to Section 4 hereof, the Company
shall register the Transfer of this Contingent Warrant permitted under the terms
hereof upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose upon
surrender of this Contingent Warrant to the Company at the Company's principal
office, together with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and
executed. Upon any such registration of Transfer, a new Warrant in substantially
the form of this Contingent Warrant, shall be issued to the transferee.
9.3 REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT CERTIFICATE. Upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Contingent Warrant and of an indemnification reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon
surrender of this Contingent Warrant or cancellation at the Company's principal
office, the Company at its expense will promptly execute and deliver, in lieu
thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
9.4 EXPENSES. The Company will pay all expenses, Taxes (other than
transfer and income Taxes) and other charges in connection with the preparation,
issuance and delivery from time to time of this Contingent Warrant or the
Warrant Shares.
7
10
SECTION 10. EXCHANGE FOR VOTING STOCK.
The Company shall, upon the written request of Holder, issue and exchange
shares of Voting Stock on a share-for-share basis for any Nonvoting Stock issued
upon the exercise of this Contingent Warrant to the extent that the Holder:
(i) sells such Warrant Shares pursuant to a registration statement
under the Securities Act, provided that such offering is
underwritten on a firm commitment basis or otherwise provides
for a widely dispersed distribution of the a shares;
(ii) sells such Warrant Shares in a private placement pursuant to
Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act,
provided that no purchaser or related group of purchasers
acquires more than 2% of the outstanding shares of Voting
Stock;
(iii) sells such Warrant Shares as part of a direct sale, together
with other shareholders of the Company, to a third party that
is not related to or affiliated with the Holder, provided that
pursuant to such sale the purchaser acquires at least a
majority of the outstanding Voting Stock without regard to any
shares purchased from the Holder; or
(iv) does not own or have the right to receive upon exercise of the
Warrant or otherwise, more than 4.9% of the Voting Stock that
would be outstanding after such exchange.
SECTION 11. OTHER RIGHTS OF HOLDER.
The Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Put Option
Agreement, the Shareholders' Agreement, the Preemption Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement, as each may be amended from time to time.
SECTION 12. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER.
Nothing contained in this Contingent Warrant shall be construed as
conferring upon the Holder any rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to
the exercise hereof or as imposing any obligation on the Holder to purchase any
Capital Stock of the Company.
SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS.
The provisions of Section 11 (other than Section 11.2(a)) of the Purchase
Agreement are applicable to this Agreement and are incorporated by reference in
this Agreement; however, if there is a conflict between such provisions of
Section 11 of the Purchase Agreement and this Contingent Warrant, the terms of
this Contingent Warrant shall control.
8
11
SECTION 14. AMENDMENTS.
This Contingent Warrant shall be amended, modified or restated, in whole
or in part, only by an express written agreement executed and delivered by the
Company and the Holder; provided, however, that any changes to this Contingent
Warrant (other than those that adversely affect the rights and preferences of
the Holder) shall require the prior written consent of the BOCP Holder so long
as the BOCP Holder holds the BOCP Contingent Warrant.
