13.6.
Force Majeure. A Party will not be responsible for any Losses of the other Party or such other Party’s property in the first Party’s possession, or for any failure to fulfill its duties or obligations hereunder, if such Loss or failure is caused, directly or indirectly, by war, terrorist or analogous action, the act of any Government Authority or other authority, riot, civil commotion, pandemic or other public health emergency, rebellion, storm, accident, fire, lockout, strike, power failure, computer error or failure, delay or breakdown in communications or electronic transmission systems, or other analogous events (collectively, a “Force Majeure Event”); provided, however, that a Force Majeure Event will not excuse either Party from any payment obligation hereunder (other than non-payment for Services not provided as a result of a Force Majeure Event).

If Client employs or engages any Virage employee or personnel during the term of this Agreement or the period of 12 months thereafter, Client will pay for any fees and expenses (including recruiters’ fees) incurred by Virage or its Affiliates in hiring replacement personnel as well as any other remedies available to Virage.

If such modification is not practical, the relevant provision will be deemed deleted. Any such modification or deletion of a provision will not affect the validity, legality and enforceability of the rest of this Agreement. If a Party gives notice to another Party of the possibility that any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties will negotiate to amend such provision so that, as amended, it is valid, legal and enforceable and achieves the intended commercial result of the original provision.
13.13.
Testimony. If either Party is required, by a third party subpoena or otherwise, to produce documents, testify or provide other evidence regarding the Services, this Agreement or the operations of any Party in any Action to which the other Party is a party or otherwise related to such other Party, such other Party will reimburse such first Party for all costs and expenses, including the time of its professional staff at such first Party’s standard rates and the cost of legal representation, that such first Party incurs in connection therewith.
13.14.
Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is entered into for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Parties and will not be interpreted in such a manner as to give rise to or create any rights or benefits of or for any other Person except as set forth herein.
13.15.
Waiver. No failure or delay by a Party to exercise any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by Law will constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor will it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No exercise (or partial exercise) of such right or remedy will prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

(f)
Exercise Restriction. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent, and only to the extent, that:

 

(i)
after giving effect to such exercise, the number of Warrant Shares then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock or other Capital Stock that is convertible or exercisable into Common Stock, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, would be aggregated with the Holder’s (including any shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to exchange, convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.99% of the total number of Common Stock issued and outstanding; except that Holder may increase such threshold upon 61 days’ notice to the Company; provided, that if any Warrant Shares otherwise due to Holder pursuant to an exercise of this Warrant are not delivered as a result of the limitation in this Section 3(f)(i) (the “Excess Shares”) then the Company’s obligation to deliver such Excess Shares will not be extinguished, and the Company will deliver such Excess Shares as soon as reasonably practicable after the Holder provides written confirmation to the Company that such delivery will not contravene the limitation in this Section 3(f)(i); or

 

(ii)
such issuance, when aggregated with any other Capital Stock theretofore or simultaneously therewith issued (including all of the transactions as contemplated under the Transaction Agreements) to or otherwise beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Capital Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including any shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member) would result in a “change of control” of the Company within the meaning of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) or otherwise require shareholder approval under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d); except that such limitation under this clause (ii) shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains all necessary shareholder approvals for such exchange in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such necessary shareholder approval as soon as commercially practicable.

 

For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

4.
Mandatory Cashless Exercise; Adjustments.
(a)
RESERVED.

 

(b)
Cashless Exercise. Upon the exercise of the Warrant in whole or in part, the Company will settle such exercise by paying or delivering, as applicable and as provided in this Section 4(b), shares of Common Stock, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of fractional shares

 


 

in the amounts set forth herein. The Warrant shall only be settled in shares of Common Stock, other than any cash payments in lieu of fractional shares, and shall not be settled in cash. The consideration due upon settlement of the exercise of each Warrant will consist of the following:

 

(i)
A number of shares of Common Stock equal to the greater of (x) zero and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing (VP-SP) * (WS) by (VP), where:

 

WS = the number of Warrant Shares being exercised, subject to any adjustments as set forth in this Section 4;

 

VP = the average of the VWAPs of each of the 5 days ending as of the market close on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable Exercise Date; and

 

SP = the Strike Price in effect immediately after the close of business on such Exercise Date.

 

(ii)
Additionally, if the calculation set forth in Section 4(b)(i) results in the issuance of fractional shares of Common Stock, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise due upon exercise of any Warrant, the Company will round to the nearest non-fractional share.

 

(c)
Strike Price and Warrant Share Adjustments. Each of the Strike Price and the Warrant Shares will be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(i)
Adjustment Upon Stock Dividends, Certain Issuances, Subdivisions or Combinations of Common Stock. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding:

(A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Strike 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 Warrant Shares shall be proportionately adjusted such that the Aggregate Strike Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4(c)(i) 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.

(ii)
Changes in Common Stock. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change under subsection 4(c)(i) hereof or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or conversion of the Company as another entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another entity

 


 

of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved (any of the foregoing being herein called a “Transaction”), the holders of the Warrant shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event (the “Alternative Issuance” ); provided, however, that in connection with the closing of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the successor or purchasing entity shall execute an amendment hereto providing for delivery of such Alternative Issuance; provided, further, that (i) if the holders of the Common Stock were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets constituting the Alternative Issuance for which the Warrant shall become exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by the holders of the Common Stock in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election, and (ii) if a tender, exchange or redemption offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of the Common Stock (other than a tender, exchange or redemption offer made by the Company in connection with redemption rights held by stockholders of the Company as provided for in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation) under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule)) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule)) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule)) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock, the holder of a Warrant shall be entitled to receive as the Alternative Issuance, the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a stockholder if such Warrant holder had exercised the Warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Common Stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustments (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4; provided, further, that if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Capital Stock in the applicable event is payable in the form of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the Holder properly exercises the Warrant within thirty (30) days following the public disclosure of the consummation of such applicable event by the Company pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission, the Strike Price shall be reduced by an amount (in dollars) (but in no event less than zero) equal to the difference of (i) the Strike Price in effect prior to such reduction minus (ii) (A) the Per Share Consideration (as defined below) minus (B) the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined below). The “Black-Scholes Warrant Value” means the value of a Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of the applicable event based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Model for a Capped American Call on Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”). For purposes of calculating such amount, (1) Section 6 of this Agreement shall be taken into account, (2) the price of each share of Common Stock shall be the volume weighted last reported average price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the applicable

 


 

event, (3) the assumed volatility shall be the 90 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg determined as of the trading day immediately prior to the day of the announcement of the applicable event, and (4) the assumed risk-free interest rate shall correspond to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of the Warrant. “Per Share Consideration” means (i) if the consideration paid to holders of the Common Stock consists exclusively of cash, the amount of such cash per share of Common Stock, and (ii) in all other cases, the amount of cash per share of Common Stock, if any, plus the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the applicable event. If any reclassification or reorganization also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by subsection 4(c)(i), then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to subsection 4(c)(i) and this Section 4(c)(ii). The provisions of this subsection shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers. In no event will the Strike Price be reduced to less than the par value per share issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

 

(iii)
Common Stock and Convertible Securities. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, sells or grants any shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock (such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), at a price per share of Common Stock, or at the exercise price per share for securities convertible into Common Stock, that is at a more than a 10% discount to the Fair Market Value (as defined below), then simultaneously with the consummation of each Dilutive Issuance,

 

(A)
the Strike Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance will immediately be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Strike Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the product obtained by multiplying the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined below) prior to such issuance or sale by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance, plus (2) the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the Company for the total number of such additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the product obtained by multiplying (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance by (2) the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance;

 

(B)
the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to a number equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (i) the product of (A) the Strike Price in effect immediately prior to any such Dilutive Issuance multiplied by (B) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance; by (ii) the Strike Price resulting from such adjustment (as set forth in Section 4(c)(iii)(A)); and

 

(C)
For purposes of this Section 4(c)(iii), “Common Stock Deemed Outstanding” shall mean the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of such date, expressed on a fully-diluted basis

 


 

and “Fair Market Value” shall mean the 10-day VWAP prior to the date of the Dilutive Issuance.

 

(iv)
Other 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) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) other than any such dividend or distribution that is subject to Section 4(c)(i) hereof (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Strike Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Strike Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such Distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the closing price on the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such closing price on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, and the number of Warrant Shares shall be proportionately adjusted such that the Aggregate Strike Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

 

(v)
Repurchases. Unless otherwise adjusted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) through (x) hereof, if, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company effects any Repurchases, then, following the completion of the Repurchase, the Strike Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Strike Price in effect immediately prior to the date of the Repurchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (a) the product of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date of the Repurchase and (2) the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the Company’s first public disclosure of its intent to effect such Repurchases, minus (b) the Assumed Payment Amount (as defined below), and of which the denominator shall be the product of (X) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date of the Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock so repurchased and (Y) the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the Company’s first public disclosure of its intent to effect such Repurchases. In such event, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by multiplying such number of Warrant Shares by the quotient of (A) the Strike Price in effect immediately prior to the date of the Repurchases divided by (B) the new Strike Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. For purposes of the foregoing, the “Assumed Payment Amount” with respect to any Repurchases shall mean the closing price as of the date of such Repurchases, of the aggregate consideration paid to effect such Repurchases and “Repurchases” means any transaction or series of related transactions to purchase Common Stock of the Company for a purchase price greater than the closing price on the trading day immediately prior to such transactions pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer.

 

(vi)
Exceptions to Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary herein, there shall be no adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or the Strike Price with respect to any Excluded Issuance.

 


 

 

(d)
Notices. Whenever the Strike Price or the Warrant Shares are adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 4, the Company shall mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the adjusted Strike Price or the Warrant Shares and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. In the event the Company shall consummate any Transaction then, unless the Company has made a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K, which filing discloses such Transaction, the Company shall give to each Holder of a warrant certificate a written notice of such Transaction.

 

5.
Transfer of Warrant. Subject to the transfer conditions referred to in the legend endorsed hereon, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder without charge to the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at the address for notices in Section 10 below (email being sufficient) with a properly completed and duly executed assignment in the form set forth on Exhibit B and any other documentation as may be reasonably requested from the Company. Upon such compliance, surrender and delivery and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant, if any, not so assigned and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

 

6.
Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder; Limitations on Liability. Other than as set forth herein, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares to which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose (other than for tax purposes), nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or receive notice of meetings. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

7.
Replacement on Loss; Division and Combination.

 

(a)
Replacement of Warrant on Loss. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and upon delivery of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that a written indemnification agreement or affidavit of loss of the Holder shall be a sufficient indemnity) and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for cancellation to the Company, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu hereof, a new Warrant of like tenor and exercisable for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed; provided, that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

 

(b)
Division and Combination of Warrant. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant as to any transfer or other assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, this Warrant may be divided or, following any such division of this Warrant, subsequently combined with other Warrants, upon the surrender of this Warrant or

 


 

Warrants to the Company at its then principal executive offices, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the respective Holders or their agents or attorneys, along with any other documentation that the Company may reasonably request. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant as to any transfer or assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall at its own expense execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice. Such new Warrant or Warrants shall be of like tenor to the surrendered Warrant or Warrants and shall be exercisable in the aggregate for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice.

The Company shall cooperate with the Holder to effect the removal of the legend at any time such legend is no longer appropriate.

 

9.

The undersigned Holder of the Warrant hereby elects to exercise the Warrant for number of Warrant Shares, subject to tender of Warrant Shares pursuant to the cashless

exercise provisions of Section 4 of the Warrant.

 

The undersigned Holder hereby instructs the Company to issue the applicable net number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant pursuant to the cashless exercise provisions of Section 4 of the Warrant, in the name of the undersigned Holder. The Holder’s calculation of such net number shall be provided to the Company upon request.

 

(2)

(b)
Company Information. The Holder has been provided access to all information, including through the Company’s publicly available documents and filing, regarding the business and financial condition of the Company, its expected plans for future business activities, material contracts, intellectual property, and the merits and risks of its purchase of the Warrant Shares, which it has requested or otherwise needs to evaluate an investment in the Warrant Shares. It has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with directors, officers and management of the Company and has had the opportunity to review the Company’s operations and facilities.

It understands that the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state and other securities laws and are being issued by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state and other securities laws, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of its representations as expressed herein.
(d)

this Warrant, and the Warrant Shares, are “restricted securities” and may only be transferred pursuant to an exemption, or exclusion, from registration requirements under U.S. federal
