條款和條件摘要

本《條款和條件概要》並非旨在具有合同約束力,除封面說明外,在所有方面(除該部分外)均須與隨附的附件A《證券購買協議》的執行相關。

 

處置

Palladyne AI corp.

我方提供普通股

2,790,700股我們的普通股,每股面值$0.0001。

每股購買價格

每股$2.15。

並行定向增發

在一項並行的定向增發中,我們還向同一些收到普通股的合格投資者出售了普通認股權證,以購買多達2,790,700股普通股。普通認股權證將於發行結束之日起的第六個月紀念日或之後的任何時間行使,並在發行結束之日起的五年零六個月紀念日前或之前的我們營業結束時以每股$2.30的行使價格行使。普通認股權證及其行使後發行的普通股根據《1933年證券法》第4(a)(2)條修訂情況下的豁免規定提供,目前未根據《證券法》註冊,也不是根據本招股說明書和隨附招股說明書提供的。普通認股權證具有規定的權利和特權,並受限於附表A-1的普通認股權證表格所載的規定,作爲所附《證券購買協議》的附件A提供。

此外,在一個單獨的、豁免的、未註冊的同時私募中,我們的首席執行官和某些董事將以與本次發行中其他買盤基本相同的條件購入價值100萬美元的普通股和買盤,不同之處在於他們將以每個買盤0.125美元的價格購買買盤,並以每股2.20美元的價格購買普通股,這與我們簽訂證券購買協議前的合併收盤買盤價格相等。

 

在本次發行的普通股買盤中所提供的買盤沒有建立的公開交易市場,我們也不預期市場會形成。此外,我們不打算申請在任何證券交易所上市這些買盤。在沒有活躍市場的情況下,買盤的流動性將受到限制。

風險因素

請查閱相關招股說明書第3頁開始的「風險因素」部分,以及截至2024年6月30日第二季度結尾的我們10-Q季度報告中「項目1A—風險因素」欄目,討論您在投資我們證券之前應閱讀和考慮的因素。在很大程度上,本次發行相關的基礎招股說明書中包含的風險因素與我們季度報告中包含的有所不同,應以季度報告爲準。

使用所得款項

我們目前預計,除了普通認股權證的行權所得款項外,股份和普通認股權證的淨收益將約爲690萬美元。我們預計將利用本次發行的淨收益用於一般企業用途和營運資本,包括繼續發展和商業化我們的軟件產品。

配售代理

我們已委託A.G.P.擔任本次發行的配置代理商。我們已同意向配置代理商支付佣金,佣金金額相當於本次發行中非內部人員出售證券所獲總毛收益的7.0%,這些銷售是由配置代理商根據證券購買協議安排的。

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding.

A-28


 

5.10.
Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
5.11.
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com), such signature shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Purchaser requests a Warrant with original “wet ink” signatures, the Company shall deliver such original Warrants without any electronic signatures.
5.12.
Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.13.
Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser validly exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).
5.14.
Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15.
Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.16.
Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other

A-29


 

Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17.
Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel (i) have chosen to communicate with the Company through the Placement Agent Counsel, and (ii) understand and agree that the Placement Agent Counsel does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents the Placement Agent. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.18.
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 not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.19.
Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.
5.20.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the reasonable fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

Warrants” means this Warrant and other common stock purchase warrants issued by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Section 2.             Exercise.

a)          Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(e) herein, exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto as Annex A (the “Notice of Exercise”), and, unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise, delivery within the Standard Settlement Period of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise as specified in this Section 2(a). Within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of the Notice of Exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer of immediately available funds or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. The Company shall have no obligation to inquire with respect to or otherwise confirm the authenticity of the signature(s) contained on any Notice of Exercise nor the authority of the person so executing such Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof unless such Warrant is surrendered to the Company and reissued to the Holder pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii).

b)          Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $2.30, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

c)          Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof, after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date, there is no effective registration statement registering the issuance to or, if required, the resale of the Warrant Shares by, the Holder, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or, if required, the resale by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

A-35


 

(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised and any holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant.  The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

d)           Mechanics of Exercise.

i.            Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or registering the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by bookentry delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the later of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”); provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 2, if the Notice of Exercise is delivered after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, the date of delivery of such Notice of Exercise will be deemed to be the Trading Day following the date on which the Notice of Exercise was delivered. Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a

A-36


 

cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the shares of Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise (including pursuant to Section 2(d)(iv) hereunder); provided that such liquidated damages will cease to accrue with respect to Warrant Shares to the extent Holder exercises its rights pursuant to Section 2(d)(iv) hereunder. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the shares of Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

ii.           Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

iii.           Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date (subject to receipt of the aggregate exercise price for the applicable exercise (other than in the case of a cashless exercise)), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise; provided, however, that the Holder shall be required to return any Warrant Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to Holder of the aggregate Exercise Price paid to the Company for such Warrant Shares and the restoration of Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

iv.           Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder but subject to the proviso in the last sentence of Section 2(d)(i), if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date (subject to receipt of the aggregate exercise price for the applicable exercise (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) and other than any such failure that is solely due to any action of the Holder with respect to such exercise), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the

A-37


 

sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrants with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

v.           No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

vi.          Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Annex B duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

vii.         Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

e)          Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being

A-38


 

made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination (including any determination as to group status pursuant to the next sentence). In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be [4.99% / 9.99%] (or, upon election by the Holder prior to the issuance of this Warrant, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3.             Certain Adjustments.

a)          Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on its shares of Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant or other Warrants of this class), (ii) subdivides outstanding

A-39


 

shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b)         Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time that this Warrant is outstanding the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all (or substantially all) of the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) 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 shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

c)          Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets), other than under Section 3(a) of this Warrant, to all (or substantially all) of holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.

d)          Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company

A-40


 

with or into another Person pursuant to which the Company does not survive such merger or consolidation, (ii) the Company, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets, in one or a series of related transactions to any Person other than one or more of the Company’s wholly-owned Subsidiaries, (iii) any purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer by a Person (other than the Company or the Company’s wholly-owned Subsidiary) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock or more than 50% voting power of the common equity of the Company, provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that no such offer shall deemed to be completed until such tendered securities are accepted for purchase or exchange under such offer, (iv) the Company in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock or more than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (together, the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e)). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company's control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which Successor Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable

A-41


 

Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to 100%, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five Business Days of the Holder’s election and (ii) the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to and be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(d) regardless of (i) whether the Company has sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of Warrant Shares and/or (ii) whether a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Exercise Date.

e)           Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

f)           Notice to Holder.

i.            Adjustment to Exercise Price.

g)             公司自願調整. 根據交易市場的規則,公司可以在本認股權的期間內的任何時間,在董事會事先書面同意的情況下,將當時的行使價格降至任何董事會認為適當的金額和時間段。

第4節.             權證轉讓.

a)           可轉讓性適用任何適用的證券法律和本致第4(d)條所載條款以及購買協議的條款,此認股權證及其下的所有權利(包括但不限於任何登記權利)可在公司主要辦公室或指定代理人投降此認股權證的情況下部分或全部轉讓,並隨附此認股權證實質上由持有人或其代理人或律師簽署之書面轉讓樣本,以及支付任何轉讓時應支付的轉讓稅的足夠資金。在進行該等投降並且如有必要的情況下進行該等付款後,公司將按照指定的分配人的名稱或名稱分配新的認股權證或認股權證,並發給原保證人證據本認股權證未轉讓部分的新認股權證,而此認股權證將立即被註銷。儘管本文中有任何相反之處,除非持有人已將此認股權證全部轉讓,否則持有人不必將此認股權證實體交還給公司。

A-43


 

在這種情況下,持有人應在將本認股權申請表交付給公司並全面轉讓本認股權的日期起計三(3)個交易日內將本認股權歸還給公司。如根據此准則正確轉讓認股權,新持有人可行使該認股權購買認股權股份,而無需發行新認股權。

 

b)          新認股權證本認股權證可在公司上述辦公室出示並附帶一份書面通知書,指明將發行新認股權證的名稱和面額,經持有人或其代理人或律師簽署。在遵守第4(a)條的前提下,如涉及該變更或組合的任何轉讓,公司應根據該通知書對要被分割或組合的認股權證承諾執行並交付一份或多份新認股權證。所有轉讓或交換所發行的認股權證應以本認股權證的初始發行日期為日期,並與本認股權證相同,僅在可發行的認股權證股份數方面有所不同。

c)          認股證登記冊公司應在其為此設立的記錄上登記本認股權證,而其登記持有人從時而時的發生變更。對此認股權證的登記持有人,公司可以視其為其事實上的持有人,以便行使本認股權證或向其分配股利,在所有其他目的上,未經實際知會則一律如此。認股證登記冊公司可能隨時認定並視本認股權的登記持有人為具有所有權,以便履行本認股權或向持有人分配股份,以及其他任何目的,在未有實際通知相反情況下。

d)           轉讓限制若在轉讓此認股權證時,此認股權證的轉讓未得到下列控制項之一,(i)依據證券法生效之報告書和適用的州證券法或藍天法或(ii)符合144條規則的無需批量或出售方式限制或當前公開資訊要求,公司可以要求在允許該等轉讓時,作為條件,持有人或轉讓人必須遵守購買協議的條款。

e)            持有人表示及保證持有人在接受本文件時,代表並保證其將自身購買本認股權,並且在任何行使認股權時,將購買可行使的認股權股份,而非為了違反證券法或任何適用州證券法中的分銷或轉售該等認股權股份或其任何部分,除非根據證券法註冊或豁免的銷售。

A-44


 

第5條.             雜項費用.

a)          在行使之前,持有者沒有任何投票權、分紅派息或其他股東權利;本認股權證僅受到第3條明示的限制。儘管持有人有權透過第2(c)條進行“無現金認股”,或依照本文第2(d)(i)條及第2(d)(iv)條收到現金支付,但公司在任何情況下都無需以淨現金支付的方式行使本認股權證。本認股權證在未行使本項證券之前,不賦予持有人任何表決權、分紅派息或其他股東權益,除非在第2(d)(i)條中明確規定,在第3條中另有規定。在不限制持有人根據第2(c)條以「無現金行使」方式獲得認股權證股票,或根據本文第2(d)(i)和第2(d)(iv)條獲得現金支付的任何權利的前提下,無論如何,公司均不需要以淨現金解決本認股權證的行使。

b)         債券型的損失、遺失、毀壞或損毀公司立約,一旦公司收到合理滿意的證據證明本認股權證或任何與認股權證股票關聯的股票證書因遺失、被盜、毀壞或損壞,並在遺失、被盜或毀壞的情況下,提供公司滿意的賠償或安全保障(其中在認股權證的情況下,不包括發布任何債券),並在交還和取消該等認股權證或損壞的股票證書後,公司將製作並交付一張新的認股權證或股票證書,其內容與日期與該等取消日相同,以取代該等認股權證或股票證書。

 

c)          星期六、星期日、假日、乙太經典如果在此處所要求或授予的任何行動的最後一個或指定日不是業務日,則可在隔下一個業務日進行該行動或行使該權利。

d)          授權股份.

公司承諾,當認股權證有效期間內,將從其授權未發行的普通股中保留足夠的股份,以便於行使本認股權下的任何購買權時發行認股權份。 公司進一步承諾,其發行本認股權將對被授權負責發行必要認股權份的董事構成完全授權。 公司將採取一切合理行動,以確保可在此提供的條件下發行此類認股權份,並達到滿足任何適用法律或法規的要求,或符合可能掛牌普通股的交易市場之一的要求。 公司承諾,根據本認股權代表的購買權行使後可能發行的所有認股權份,一經根據本憑證行使購買權並按照本文件規定支付該等認股權份的款項,將被正式授權、合法發行、全部實收且無需追加核款,並且不受任何公司就其發行所造成的稅款、留置權和負擔所嵌設的任何稅款(除了對應時同時發生的任何轉讓所涉及的稅款)。

除非持有人豁免或同意,否則公司不得通過任何行動,包括但不限於修訂其公司章程或通過任何重組、資產轉移、合併、合併、解散、發行或出售證券或任何其他自願行動,規避或設法規避遵守或履行本認股權證條款的任何部分,而應隨時以誠實信用協助實施所有此類條款,並採取所有必要或適當的行動以保護持有人在本認股權證中所規定的權利免受損害。在不限制前述一般性原則的前提下,公司將(i)不得將任何認股權證股份的面值增加至在該面值增加之前行使即時支付的金額以上,(ii)採取一切必要或適當的措施,以便公司可以有效且合法發行完全實收並且不須再評估的認股權證股份在行使本認股權證時,(iii)致力於獲得所有依其所履行其本認股權證義務需要的各種授權、豁免或同意,以使公司得以履行其在本認股權證下的義務。

A-45


 

在採取任何導致調整此認股權的認股股份數或行使價的行動之前,公司應從任何具有權限的公共監管機構獲得所有必要的授權、豁免或同意。

e)轄區所有板塊關於本認股權證的施工、有效性、執行和解釋的問題,應按照購買協議的規定來決定。

其他限制持有人承認,如果未註冊,並且持有人未使用免現金行使,通過行使本認股權獲取的認股股份將受到州和聯邦證券法律規定的轉售限制。

g)放棄和費用任何不遵從或延誤或未行使持有人在此條款下的任何權利,不得視為放棄該權利或損害持有人的權利、權力或救濟。本認股權證的任何條款均不得被解釋為持有人放棄其在美國聯邦證券法律及其附屬委員會規則下享有的任何權利。在不限制本認股權證或認股協議的任何其他條款的情況下,如果公司故意且知情地未能遵守本認股權證的任何條款,導致持有人遭受重大損害,則公司應支付足以支付持有人所需的任何費用和支出,包括但不限於合理的律師費,包括上訴程序中所發生的費用,以便收取根據本條款應支付的任何款項,或以任何其他方式強制执行其在此條款下享有的任何權利、權力或救濟。

h)通告。持有人在本文下提供的任何通知或其他通訊或交付,包括但不限於任何行使通知,均須以書面形式發送,並通過電子郵件發送,或由全國認可的隔夜快遞服務發送給本公司,以本公司附加簽名頁面上所列的地址和電子郵件地址,或本公司可以通過通知持有人為此目的而指明的其他電子郵件地址或地址發送。本公司在本文下提供的任何通知或其他通訊或交付,均須以書面形式發送,並通過電子郵件發送,或由全國認可的隔夜快遞服務發送給持有人,至本公司帳本上的持有人的電子郵件地址或地址發送。根據本條所述的任何通知或其他通訊或交付,則在 (i) 發送時間之前,如該通知或通訊在任何日期下午 5:30 (紐約時間) 下午 5:30 (紐約時間) 前,(ii) 發送後的下一個交易日,如該通知或通訊通過電子郵件發送至本條所列的電子郵件地址不是交易日或晚於任何交易日下午 5:30 (紐約時間) 的日子,(iii)郵寄日後的第二個交易日,如果由美國國家認可的隔夜快遞服務發送,或 (iv) 必須發出該通知的一方實際收到後。

i)           責任限制根據本憑證,如果持有人沒有採取任何積極行動行使購買憑證股份的權利,並且本憑證未對持有人的權利或特權進行列舉,則不應使持有人需對任何普通股票的購買價格或公司股東的身份承擔任何責任,無論該責任是由公司還是公司的債權人主張。

j)           補救措施持有人除了享有法律賦予的所有權利,包括賠償損失的權利外,還有資格依據本認股權證行使其權利。公司同意,金錢賠償將無法足夠彌補因其違反本認股權證條款而遭受的損失,並特此同意放棄並不主張軍工股這一辯護——即在實現特定履行的訴訟中聲稱法律救濟將是足夠的。

A-46


 

k)          繼承人和受讓人受適用證券法律規定的限制,本認股權憑證及其中所載之權利與義務應納入公司的繼受人及被允許轉讓人之利益範圍,亦應對本憑證的持有人以及認股權憑證股份的持有人具有約束力。本認股權憑證的規定旨在為本憑證的不同時段任何持有人之利益而設立,並可由持有人或認股權憑證股份的持有人執行。

l)           修訂本認股權證可在公司和認股權證持有人的書面同意下修改或修訂,或者放棄本條款,而該認股權證持有人可行使全部已發行和未流通的認股權,或已可行使全部認股權證所對應出公司普通股總數的過半數以上,或者如為放棄,由對該被豁免條款的強制實施對象,前提是如果任何修改、修訂或豁免對某持有人(或持有人組)不成比例且不利,也需要獲得該不成比例受影響持有人(或持有人組)持有的全部認股權證所對應出公司發行和未流通的全部認股權的普通股總數超過半數的持有人同意。

m)          可分割性。在任何情況下,應盡可能以適用法律的方式解釋本認股權證的各項條款,但如果本認股權證的任何條款被禁止或在適用法律下無效,則該等條款將無效,但不影響其他條款的有效性或本認股權證的其餘條款。

n)          標題。本憑證中使用的標題僅供參考,不得被視為本憑證的一部分。
