Exhibit 4.6
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following descriptions are
summaries of the material terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws. We refer in
this section to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation as our certificate of incorporation, and we refer to our amended
and restated bylaws as our bylaws.
General
Our authorized capital stock consists
of 105,263,158 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 100,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share,
all of which shares of preferred stock will be designated.
Common Stock
The holders of our common stock
are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. The holders of our common stock do
not have any cumulative voting rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared by our board
of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding convertible
preferred stock. Our common stock has no preemptive rights, conversion rights or other subscription rights or redemption or sinking fund
provisions.
In the event of our liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all
debts and other liabilities and any liquidation preference of any outstanding convertible preferred stock.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors will have
the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 100,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and
to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights,
conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting,
or the designation of, such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of common stock. The issuance of our preferred
stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments
and payments upon our liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing
a change in control of our company or other corporate action.
Warrants
The following summary of certain
terms and provisions of the warrants is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the form of
the warrants agent agreement (the “Warrant Agent Agreement”). Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and
provisions set forth in the form of Warrant Agent Agreement, including the annexes thereto, and the form of warrant.
Exercisability. The
warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and at any time up to the date that is five years after their original
issuance. The warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise
notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise
as discussed below).
Exercise Limitation. A
holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the warrant if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially
own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such
percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage
to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days following
notice from the holder to us.
Exercise Price. The exercise
price per share of common stock purchasable upon exercise of the warrants is $5.1875 per share, or 125% of public offering price of a
unit. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits,
stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including
cash, stock or other property to our stockholders. The warrant exercise price is also subject to downward adjustment in the event we issue
shares of common stock in a capital raising transaction at a price below the exercise price, subject to a minimum exercise price of $4.15.
Cashless Exercise. If,
at any time during the term of the warrants, the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not covered by an
effective registration statement, the holder is permitted to effect a cashless exercise of the warrants (in whole or in part) by having
the holder deliver to us a duly executed exercise notice, canceling a portion of the warrant in payment of the purchase price payable
in respect of the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise.
Failure to Timely Deliver Shares.
If we fail for any reason to deliver to the holder the shares subject to an exercise by the date that is the earlier of (i) two (2) trading
days and (ii) the number of trading days that is the standard settlement period on our primary trading market as in effect on the date
of delivery of the exercise notice, we must pay to the holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of
shares subject to such exercise (based on the daily volume weighted average price of our shares of common stock on the date of the applicable
exercise notice), $10 per trading day (increasing to $20 per trading day on the fifth (5th) trading day after such liquidated damages
begin to accrue) for each trading day after such date until such shares are delivered or the holder rescinds such exercise. In addition,
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 shares which the
holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise, then we 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 shares that we were required to deliver to the holder in connection with the exercise at issue times
(2) the price at which the 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 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 we timely complied
with our exercise and delivery obligations.
Exchange Listing. Our warrants
are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “APCXW.”
Fundamental Transactions.
If at any time while the warrant is outstanding, (i) we, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger
or consolidation of our Company with or into another person, (ii) we, directly or indirectly, 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, (iii)
any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by us or another person) is completed pursuant to which
holders of our 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 50% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock, (iv) we, directly or indirectly, in one or more
related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of our common stock or any compulsory share exchange
pursuant to which our common stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) we, 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 shares of our common stock (not including any shares of our
common stock held by the other person or other persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons making or
party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then,
upon any subsequent exercise of the warrant, the warrantholder 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 warrantholder
(without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of the warrant), the number of shares of capital stock of the successor
or acquiring corporation or of us, if we are the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”)
receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of our common stock for which the warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of the
warrant). 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 warrant share in such Fundamental Transaction,
and we 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 our 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 the warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the
event of a Fundamental Transaction, we or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the warrantholder’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 the warrant from the warrantholder by paying to the warrantholder
an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant on the date
of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within our control,
including not approved by our board of directors, holder shall only be entitled to receive from us 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 the warrant, that is being
offered and paid to the holders of our common stock 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 our 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 our common stock
are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of our common stock will be deemed to have received
common stock of the Successor Entity (which Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction.
“Black Scholes Value” means the value of the 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 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 Fundamental Transaction and the termination date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100
day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the trading day
immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such
calculation shall be the greater of (i) 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 (ii) the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the trading day immediately
preceding the announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if
earlier) and ending on the trading day of the warrantholder’s request pursuant to this Section 3(e) 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 (5) business days of the warrantholder’s election and (ii) the date of consummation
of the Fundamental Transaction. We shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which we are not the survivor (the
“Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of our obligations under the warrant in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the warrantholder and approved by the warrantholder
(without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the warrantholder, deliver to the warrantholder
in exchange for the warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance
to the warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity)
equivalent to the warrant shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise
of the 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 warrant shares 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 warrantholder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed
to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of the warrant referring to
the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise each of our rights and powers and shall assume
all of our obligations under the warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the our company herein.
Rights as a Stockholder.
Except as otherwise provided in the warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holder of
a warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises
the warrant.
Warrant Agent; Global Certificate. The
warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agent agreement between the warrant agent and us. The warrants shall initially
be represented only by one or more global warrants deposited with the warrant agent, as custodian on behalf of The Depository Trust Company
(DTC) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC, or as otherwise directed by DTC. Our transfer agent, Transfer Online,
Inc. serves as the warrant agent.
Governing Law. The warrants
and the Warrant Agency Agreement are governed by New York law.
Anti-Takeover Effects of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
and Delaware Law
Our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws include a number of provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing another party from acquiring control
of us and encouraging persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate with our board
of directors rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts. These provisions include the items described below.
Board Composition and Filling
Vacancies
Our certificate of incorporation
provides for the division of our board of directors into two classes serving staggered two-year terms, with one class being elected each
year. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that directors may be removed only for cause and then only by the affirmative vote
of the holders of at least two-thirds or more of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Furthermore, any vacancy
on our board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the size of our board, may only be filled
by the affirmative vote of a majority of our directors then in office even if less than a quorum. The classification of directors, together
with the limitations on removal of directors and treatment of vacancies, has the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to
change the composition of our board of directors.
No Written Consent of Stockholders
Our certificate of incorporation
provides that all stockholder actions are required to be taken by a vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting, and that
stockholders may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. This limit may lengthen the amount of time required to take
stockholder actions and would prevent the amendment of our bylaws or removal of directors by our stockholders without holding a meeting
of stockholders.
Meetings of Stockholders
Our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws provides that only a majority of the members of our board of directors then in office may call special meetings of stockholders
and only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders.
Our bylaws will limit the business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders to those matters properly brought before
the meeting.
Advance Notice Requirements
Our bylaws will establish advance
notice procedures with regard to stockholder proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors or new business
to be brought before meetings of our stockholders. These procedures provide that notice of stockholder proposals must be timely given
in writing to our corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. Generally, to be timely, notice must be
received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual
meeting for the preceding year. Our bylaws specify the requirements as to form and content of all stockholders’ notices. These requirements
may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before the stockholders at an annual or special meeting.
Amendment to Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws
Any amendment of our certificate
of incorporation must first be approved by a majority of our board of directors, and if required by law or our certificate of incorporation,
must thereafter be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment and a majority of the outstanding
shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, except that the amendment of the provisions relating to stockholder action,
board composition, and limitation of liability must be approved by not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote
on the amendment, and not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class. Our bylaws
may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, subject to any limitations set forth in the bylaws;
and may also be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, voting together
as a single class, except that the amendment of the provisions relating to notice of stockholder business and nominations and special
meetings must be approved by not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, and not less than two-thirds
of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, or, if our board of directors recommends that the stockholders
approve the amendment, by the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, in each case
voting together as a single class.
Undesignated Preferred Stock
Our certificate of incorporation
provides for authorized shares of preferred stock. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may enable our board
of directors to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example,
if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best
interests of our stockholders, our board of directors could cause shares of preferred stock to be issued without stockholder approval
in one or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent
stockholder or stockholder group. In this regard, our certificate of incorporation grants our board of directors broad power to establish
the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease
the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance may also adversely affect
the rights and powers, including voting rights, of these holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change
in control of us.
Choice of Forum
Our bylaws provide that, unless
we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative form, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court
does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) will
be the sole and exclusive forum for state law claims for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action
asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty or other wrongdoing by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our
stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against us, or any current or former director, officer, or other employee or stockholder,
arising out of or pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or our certificate of incorporation
or bylaws; and (iv) any action asserting a claim against us or any current or former director or officer or other employee governed by
the internal affairs doctrine; provided, however, that this choice of forum provision does not apply to any causes of action arising under
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. Our bylaws further provide that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative
forum, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting
a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Our bylaws also provide that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring
any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to this choice of forum provision.
We recognize that the forum selection clause in our bylaws may impose additional litigation costs on stockholders in pursuing any such
claims, particularly if the stockholders do not reside in or near the State of Delaware or the Commonwealth of Virginia, as applicable.
Additionally, the forum selection clause in our bylaws may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a forum that they
find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors,
officers and employees even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia may also reach different judgments or results than would other
courts, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such
judgments may be more or less favorable to us than our stockholders.
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
We are subject to the provisions
of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging
in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that this
stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Under Section 203,
a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:
|
● |
before the stockholder became interested, our board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; |
|
|
|
|
● |
upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Section 203 defines a business combination to include: |
|
|
|
|
● |
any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; |
|
|
|
|
● |
any sale, transfer, lease, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation; |
|
|
|
|
● |
subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; |
|
|
|
|
● |
subject to exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges, or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. |
In general, Section 203 defines
an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and
any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.
