WARRANT

 

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, _____________ (together with its permitted assignees, the “Holder”) is entitled to subscribe for and purchase _________________ (________) shares (as adjusted pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the “Shares”) of the fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of PhotoWorks, Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Company”), at the price of $0.40 per share (the “Exercise Price”) (as adjusted pursuant to Section 3 hereof), subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. This warrant (this “Warrant”) is one of a series of warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2006 among the Company and the purchasers named therein (the “Purchase Agreement. Unless defined herein, all capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

1.

Method of Exercise; Payment.

(a)           Cash Exercise. Subject to Section 8 hereof, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder from time to time, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed) at the principal office of the Company, and by payment to the Company, by certified, cashier’s or other check acceptable to the Company, or by wire transfer, of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares being purchased.

 

(b)

Net Issue Exercise.

(i)           in lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 1(a), the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

 

 

 

 

X = Y (A-B)

 

 

A

 

Where

X

=

the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.

 

Y

=              the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant (or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being exercised as set forth in the notice of exercise).

 

A

=

the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

B

=

the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

(ii)          This Warrant shall automatically be exercised pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof immediately before its expiration pursuant to Section 8 hereof unless Holder notifies the Company in writing to the contrary before such termination.

(c)           Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 1, the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock shall mean:

(i)            The average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Company’s Common Stock quoted in the NASDAQ National Market System or the closing price quoted on any exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal for the twenty (20) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value;

(ii)          If the Company’s Common Stock is not traded in the NASDAQ National Market System, over-the-counter market or on an exchange, the fair market value of the Common Stock per share shall be the price per share that the Company could obtain from a willing buyer for shares sold by the Company from authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as such price shall be agreed by the parties hereto, or if agreement cannot be reached within five (5) business days of delivery of the notice pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof, as shall be determined by a panel of appraisers. One appraiser shall be selected by the Holder, one appraiser shall be chosen by the Company and the third appraiser shall be chosen by the first two appraisers. If the appraisers cannot reach agreement as to the fair market value on the foregoing basis on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the Holder’s notice of election pursuant to Section 1(b), then each appraiser shall deliver its appraisal and the appraisal which is neither the highest nor the lowest shall be the fair market value of a share of Common Stock. In the event that the Holder fails to choose an appraiser or the three appraisers fail to deliver an appraisal on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after such notice, the appraisal of the appraiser selected by the Company shall control and shall be fair market value for the purposes of this Warrant. The cost of the appraiser selected by each party shall be borne by that party and the cost of the third appraiser shall be borne one-half (1/2) by the Company and one-half (1/2) by the exercising Holder (or Holders pro rata if more than one Holder is exercising). Appraisers selected under this Section 1(c) must be unaffiliated with the Holder and the Company and must have reasonable professional qualifications for the appraisal.

(d)           Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing the shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within such time.

2.            Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All of the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved for issuance sufficient shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

3.            Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof, the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefor shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

(a)           Reference Price. The price upon which adjustments to the Exercise Price and number of Shares pursuant to Section 3(d) below shall be based shall initially be $0.40 (the “Reference Price”). The initial Reference Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided in accordance with this Section 3.

(b)           Adjustments for Dividends, Splits, Subdivisions, Combinations, or Consolidation of Common Stock. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be increased by stock dividend payable in Common Stock, stock split, subdivision, or other similar transaction occurring after the date of this Warrant into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to the percentage increase in the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock and the Exercise Price and Reference Price shall proportionately be decreased. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be decreased by reverse stock split, combination, consolidation, or other similar transaction occurring after the date of this Warrant into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to the percentage decrease in the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock and the Exercise Price and Reference Price shall be proportionately increased.

(c)           Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above or in connection with a merger of the Company as provided in Section 8 below), concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that upon exercise, the Holder shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder would have received had this Warrant been exercised immediately before that change.

(d)           Adjustments. Whenever the number of Shares purchasable hereunder or the Exercise Price thereof shall be adjusted pursuant to Sections 3(b) or (c) hereof, the Company shall provide notice to the holder of this Warrant setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the number of Shares which may be purchased and the Exercise Price therefor after giving effect to such adjustment.

4.            Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder. In lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor based upon the Exercise Price then in effect.

5.

Restrictions Upon Transfer.

(a)           The Company need not register a transfer of this Warrant unless the conditions specified in the legend on the front page hereof have not been satisfied.

(b)           Subject to the conditions set forth in the legend, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office or agency of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by Holder or its agent or duly authorized attorney.

(c)           The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 5.

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Purchaser represents to the Seller and to the Company the following:

(a)           The undersigned is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition, and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. The undersigned is purchasing these Securities for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

(b)           The undersigned understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the undersigned’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the undersigned understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if this representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future.

(c)           The undersigned further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. In addition, the undersigned understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company.

(d)           The undersigned is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

The Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires, among other things, the existence of a public market for the Securities, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sales being effected through a

 

 

 

“broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of Securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.

(e)           The undersigned further understands that in the event that all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
