What is a Series A Warrant?
A series A warrant is a type of warrant that gives the holder the right to purchase other securities in a company at predetermined prices and dates. They can be used as tools for risk management, but also allow companies to raise capital without issuing new shares and diluting current shareholders.
Series A warrants are generally issued by the initial public offering (IPO) of equity security such as common stock or preferred stock, while series B warrants are typically offered within debt instruments.

The Series A Warrants evidenced by this Series A Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Series A Warrants issued or to be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement dated as of , 2005 (the “Warrant Agreement”), between the Company and Mellon Investor Services L.L.C., as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders (the words “holders” or “holder” meaning the registered holders or registered holder) of the Series A Warrants. To the extent permitted by law, in the event of an inconsistency or conflict between the terms of this Series A Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Agreement, the terms of the Warrant Agreement will prevail. Capitalized terms used in this Series A Warrant Certificate that are defined in the Warrant Agreement shall have the meanings provided in the Warrant Agreement for purposes of this Series A Warrant Certificate, unless otherwise defined in this Series A Warrant Certificate.
2. Exercise.
Series A Warrants may be exercised at any time on or after 9:00 a.m. on the Issue Date and on or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Series A Expiration Date. In order to exercise all or any of the Series A Warrants represented by this Series A Warrant Certificate, the holder must deliver to the Warrant Agent, at its Corporate Trust Office set forth in the Warrant Agreement, this Series A Warrant Certificate and the form of election to purchase below duly completed, which signature shall be medallion guaranteed by an institution which is a member of a Securities Transfer Association recognized signature guarantee program, and upon payment to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company of the Series A Exercise Price in the manner set forth in the Warrant Agreement for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised.
No Series A Warrant may be exercised after 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Series A Expiration Date, and to the extent not exercised by such time the Series A Warrants shall become void.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Series A Warrant Certificate or in the Warrant Agreement, no holder may exercise a Warrant if the issuance of Warrant Shares to the holder of such Warrant upon the exercise thereof would cause the percentage of shares of Common Stock then outstanding that is owned by Aliens to exceed the Permitted Percentage.

5. Registered Form; Transfer and Exchange.
The Series A Warrants are in registered form. Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at the office of the Warrant Agent by the registered holder thereof in person or by legal representative or attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any service charge (except as specified in the Warrant Agreement), for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Series A Warrants.
Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of this Series A Warrant Certificate at the office of the Warrant Agent a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Series A Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this Series A Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.
The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered holder(s) hereof as the absolute owner(s) of this Series A Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the holder(s) hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
