Section 1.5 Covenant to Register.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, unless the
context otherwise requires, the following definitions shall apply:
(i) The terms "REGISTER," "REGISTERED," and
"REGISTRATION" refer to a registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "ACT"), effected by preparing and filing a registration statement
or similar document in compliance with the Act, and the declaration or ordering
of effectiveness of such registration statement, document or amendment thereto.
(ii) The term "REGISTRABLE SECURITIES" means
the securities issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares sold to
Investors by CDRD (other than Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Libra Warrant (as defined in Section 7.1)), or otherwise issuable pursuant to
the Certificate of Designations, and any securities of CDRD or securities of
any successor corporation issued as, or issuable upon the conversion or
exercise of any warrant, right or other security that is issued as a dividend
or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for, or in replacement
of, the Preferred Shares sold to Investors by CDRD, which are held by a holder
of Registrable Securities and which (i) have not been resold pursuant to an
effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act or (ii)
are ineligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Act. For purposes
of this Agreement, securities will be considered ineligible for resale pursuant
to Rule 144(k) under the Act unless CDRD's transfer agent has accepted an
instruction from CDRD specifying that such securities are eligible for sale
pursuant to Rule 144(k).
(iii) The term "HOLDER OF REGISTRABLE
SECURITIES" means any Investor, and any subsequent holder of Preferred Shares
or Registrable Securities that purchases
4
5
in the aggregate, including purchases by funds or entities affiliated with such
holder or managed by the same manager or advised by the same advisor as such
holder, at least the lesser of (1) 10,000 of the Preferred Shares (or
Underlying Shares (as defined below) issued upon the conversion of at least
10,000 Preferred Shares) sold to Investors by CDRD, (2) an amount equal to all
of the Preferred Shares sold to an Investor by CDRD (or Underlying Shares
issued upon conversion of all such Preferred Shares), and (3) all Preferred
Shares (or Underlying Shares issued upon conversion of all such Preferred
Shares) then held by an Investor.
(b) (i) CDRD shall, as expeditiously as possible
following the First Closing, file a "shelf" registration statement with the SEC
pursuant to Rule 415 of the Act on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then
available, another appropriate form, covering all the Registrable Securities
(the "INITIAL REGISTRATION"), and shall use its best efforts to cause such
"shelf" registration statement to become effective by the later of (A) the 90th
calendar day after the First Closing Date and (B) February 15, 1997 (the
"INITIAL REGISTRATION DEADLINE"). CDRD shall provide holders of Registrable
Securities reasonable opportunity to review any such registration statement or
amendment or supplement thereto prior to the filing thereof, but in no event
shall such period exceed seven days, and CDRD shall not file any such
registration statement, amendment or supplement to which any holder of
Registrable Securities shall reasonably have objected. If the Registrable
Securities are registered initially on a form other than Form S-3, CDRD shall
use its best efforts to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon
as use of such form is permissible.
(ii) Subject to Section 1.5(b)(iii) below,
CDRD may suspend the effectiveness of the registration statement or the use of
any prospectus used in connection with any such registration effected pursuant
to this Subsection (b) only in the event, and for such period of time as, CDRD
concludes in its reasonable judgment is required by applicable securities laws
or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
CDRD will use its best efforts to cause such suspension to terminate at the
earliest possible date; provided that CDRD shall be permitted to maintain such
suspension if, and only for so long as, the Board of Directors of CDRD shall,
in good faith, determine that the failure to maintain such suspension is
reasonably likely to be seriously detrimental (excluding detriment resulting
from the price of the Common Stock or conversion of the Preferred Shares) to
CDRD or would interfere with a material transaction CDRD is then contemplating.
(iii) If (A) the registration statement
covering all Registrable Securities is not effective by the later of (1) the
90th calendar day after the First Closing Date and (2) February 15, 1997, (B)
at any time after the later of (1) the 90th calendar day after the First
Closing Date and (2) February 15, 1997, (x) CDRD fails to have a sufficient
number of shares of Common Shares authorized or reserved to permit conversion
of all of the then-outstanding Preferred Shares, (y) CDRD fails, for any
reason, to honor any request for conversion of Preferred Shares except as
permitted by the terms and conditions of Section 4 of the Certificate of
Designations, or (z) the Common Shares fail to continue to be listed on the
NASDAQ Small Capitalization Market, the NASDAQ National Market, the New York
Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, or (C) at any time after the
registration statement has been declared effective, the SEC suspends the
effectiveness of the registration statement or CDRD suspends the
5
6
use of the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement for
more than 60 cumulative days (the "CUMULATIVE SUSPENSION") in the aggregate in
any twelve-month period (taking into account all such suspensions) then CDRD
shall (in addition to any other remedies available to such holders at law or
equity, including pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2(a)) pay to each (in
the case of (B) above) holder of Preferred Shares and (in the case of (A) or
(C) above) holder of Registrable Securities (other than, in the case of (A)
above, any holder all of whose shares of Registrable Securities were included
in a registration statement declared effective by the date therein specified) a
cash payment (the "REGISTRATION PAYMENT AMOUNT") in an amount per share equal
to 3% of the Liquidation Preference (as defined in the Certificate of
Designations) for all Preferred Shares or the equivalent in securities issued
or issuable upon conversion (the "UNDERLYING SHARES") then held by such holder
for each cumulative 30-day period thereafter until such registration statement
is effective or such failure is rectified, or during which the effectiveness of
the registration statement or use of the prospectus shall be suspended (taking
into account all such suspensions); provided, however, that if (A) the
registration statement with respect to the Qualifying Offering (as defined in
the Certificate of Designations) is not declared effective on or before the
fifth business day following the expected effective date specified in the
Effective Date Notice (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), and (B)
the Lock-up Request (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) requests
that the Lock-up is to become effective prior to the effective date of the
registration statement, then the number of days comprising the Cumulative
Suspension Days shall be reduced by one day for each day that holders of
Registrable Securities are subject to the Lock-up (as defined in the
Certificate of Designations). Such cash payments shall accrue at the rate of
1/30th of Registration Payment Amount per day during which such event occurs.
Any cash payment required to be made pursuant to this subsection (iii) shall be
due and payable within 10 days of the end of any month in which any such event
occurs.
(c) Whenever required under this Section to
effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, including without
limitation, the Initial Registration, CDRD shall, as expeditiously as
reasonably possible:
(i) Prepare and file with the SEC a
registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its
best efforts to cause such registration to become effective as provided in
Section 1.5(b)(i), and upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities
keep such registration statement effective for so long as any holder of
Registrable Securities desires to dispose of the securities covered by such
registration statement, or, if earlier, until such Registrable Securities may
be sold under Rule 144(k) (provided that CDRD's transfer agent has accepted an
instruction from CDRD to such effect).
(ii) Prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus
used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to
comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement and notify the holders of
Registrable Securities of the filing and effectiveness of such registration
statement and any amendments or supplements; provided that CDRD shall not be
obligated to file more than two
6
7
such supplements in any 30-day period to the extent they relate solely to a
transfer by a holder of Registrable Securities.
(iii) Furnish to each holder of Registrable
Securities such numbers of copies of a current prospectus conforming with the
requirements of the Act, copies of the registration statement, any amendment or
supplement thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein and such
other documents as such holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably require
in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by such
holder of Registrable Securities; provided that CDRD shall not be obligated to
furnish more than two such supplements in any 30-day period to the extent they
relate solely to a transfer by a holder of Registrable Securities.
(iv) Use its best efforts to register and
qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other
securities or "Blue Sky" laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably
requested by the holder of Registrable Securities, provided that CDRD shall not
be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do
business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states
or jurisdictions.
(v) Notify each holder of Registrable
Securities immediately of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes
an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
in light of the circumstances then existing, and use its best efforts, subject
to Section 1.5(b)(ii), promptly to update and/or correct such prospectus.
(vi) In connection with an underwritten
offering, furnish, at the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, (1)
an opinion of counsel of CDRD, dated the closing date of such offering, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to such holder and its counsel and
covering, without limitation, such matters as the due authorization and
issuance of the securities being registered and compliance with securities laws
by CDRD in connection with the authorization, issuance and registration
thereof, and (2) a letter or letters of CDRD's independent public accountants
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holder, such holder's lead
underwriter and their respective counsel, in each case, covering such matters
as would customarily be covered in an underwritten public offering.
(vii) Use its best efforts to list the
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement with any
securities exchange or market on which the Common Shares are then listed.
(viii) Make available for inspection by the
holder of Registrable Securities, upon request, all SEC Documents (as defined
below) filed subsequent to the First Closing and require CDRD's officers,
directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any
holder of Registrable Securities in connection with such registration
statement.
7
8
(ix) Subject to any Lock-up in effect,
permit any offering to be underwritten by an underwriter of recognized national
standing that is (A) selected by holders of a majority in interest of Preferred
Shares and Registrable Securities the holders of which have requested to be
included in a registration of CDRD securities and (B) reasonably acceptable to
CDRD, and enter into such agreements with such underwriter (including
agreements to indemnify) and cause delivery of such legal opinions and letters
of independent public accountants as is customary in underwritten public
offerings in accordance with clause (vi), in each case, at CDRD's expense;
provided that any such request may not be made prior to the earlier of (Y)
completion of the Qualifying Offering and (Z) October 16, 1997.
(d) Each holder of Registrable Securities will
furnish to CDRD in connection with any registration under this Section such
information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities and other securities
of CDRD held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities
as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of the Registrable
Securities held by such holder of Registrable Securities. Each Investor shall
provide such data promptly upon request made by CDRD after the First Closing.
The intended method of disposition (Plan of Distribution) of such securities as
so provided by any Investor shall be included without alteration in the
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and shall not be
changed without the written consent of such Investor.
(e) (i) CDRD shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless each holder of Registrable Securities that is included in a
registration statement pursuant to the provisions of Subsection (b) (each, a
"SELLING SHAREHOLDER") and each of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
partners or controlling persons (within the meaning of the Act) (each, a
"HOLDER INDEMNIFIED PARTY") from and against, and shall reimburse such Holder
Indemnified Party with respect to, any and all claims, suits, demands, causes
of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses ("LIABILITIES") to
which such Holder Indemnified Party may become subject under the Act or
otherwise, arising from or relating to (A) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration statement,
any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein or any amendment
or supplement thereto, or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading; provided, however, that CDRD shall not be liable with respect to
any Selling Shareholder in any such case to the extent that any such liability
arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission so made in such
registration statement, preliminary, final or summary prospectus or amendment
or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written
information furnished in an instrument duly executed by such Selling
Shareholder specifically for use in the registration statement; provided
further, that CDRD shall not be liable with respect to any Selling Shareholder
in any such case to the extent that any such Liability arises out of or is
based upon an untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus
if (A) such Selling Shareholder under an obligation to send or deliver a copy
of the prospectus with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the
sale of Registrable Securities to the person asserting such Liability who
purchased such Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof from such
Selling Shareholder failed to do so and (B) the prospectus would have
completely corrected such untrue statement or omission and if, having
previously
8
9
been furnished by or on behalf of CDRD with copies of the prospectus so
correcting such untrue statement or omission, and if having been obligated to
deliver such prospectus such Selling Shareholder thereafter failed to deliver
such prospectus prior to or concurrently with the sale of Registrable
Securities to the person asserting such Liability who purchased such
Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof from such Selling
Shareholder; and provided further, that CDRD shall not be liable with respect
to any Selling Shareholder in any such case to the extent that any Liability
arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission in the prospectus, if such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission is completely corrected
in an amendment or supplement to the prospectus and if, having previously been
furnished by or on behalf of CDRD with copies of the prospectuses so amended or
supplemented, having been advised by or on behalf of CDRD of such correction,
and having been obligated to deliver such prospectuses, such Selling
Shareholder thereafter failed to deliver such prospectus as so amended or
supplemented, prior to or concurrently with the sale of Registrable Securities
to the person asserting such Liability who purchased such Registrable
Securities that are the subject thereof from such Selling Shareholder.
(ii) In the event of any registration under
the Act of Registrable Securities pursuant to Subsection (b), each holder of
such Registrable Securities hereby severally agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless CDRD, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, partners or
controlling persons (within the meaning of the Act) (each, a "CDRD INDEMNIFIED
PARTY") from and against, and shall reimburse such CDRD Indemnified Party with
respect to, any and all Liabilities to which such CDRD Indemnified Party may
become subject under the Act or otherwise, arising from or relating to (A) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
such registration statement, any preliminary, final or summary prospectus
contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, that such
holders will be liable in any such case to the extent, and only to the extent,
that any such liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in such
registration statement, preliminary, final or summary prospectus or amendment
or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written
information furnished in an instrument duly executed by such holder
specifically for use in the preparation thereof; provided further that in no
case shall any such holder be liable in any such case in an amount in excess of
the net proceeds received by such holder upon the sale of Registrable
Securities pursuant to such registration statement, prospectus or amendment or
supplement thereto.
(iii) (A) Promptly after receipt by any
Holder Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action, such
Holder Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against CDRD hereunder, notify CDRD in writing thereof but the omission so to
notify CDRD shall not relieve CDRD from any Liability that it may have to the
Holder Indemnified Party other than under this section and shall only relieve
it from any Liability that it may have to the Holder Indemnified Party under
this section if and to the extent CDRD is actually prejudiced by such omission.
In case any such action shall be brought against any Holder Indemnified Party
and such Holder Indemnified Party shall notify CDRD of the
9
10
commencement thereof, CDRD shall be entitled to participate in and, to the
extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Holder Indemnified Party, and, after notice
from CDRD to the Holder Indemnified Party of its election so to assume and
undertake the defense thereof CDRD shall not be liable to the Holder
Indemnified Party under this section for any legal expenses subsequently
incurred by the Holder Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof
other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so
selected; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include
both CDRD and such Holder Indemnified Party and the Holder Indemnified Party
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available
to it that are different from or additional to those available to CDRD or if
the interests of the Holder Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to
conflict with the interests of CDRD, the Holder Indemnified Party shall have
the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and
otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable
expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses
related to such participation to be reimbursed by CDRD as incurred. In
clarification of the foregoing, CDRD shall pay the reasonable expenses and fees
of one separate counsel whose selection is approved by the largest group of
similarly situated Holder Indemnified Parties as measured by the aggregate par
value or principal amount of such Registrable Securities owned by such group.
Any Holder Indemnified Party who chooses not to be represented by the foregoing
separate counsel shall be entitled, at its own expense, to be represented by
counsel of its own selection.
(B) Promptly after receipt by any CDRD
Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action, such CDRD
Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against
any holder of Registrable Securities hereunder, notify such holder of
Registrable Securities in writing thereof but the omission so to notify such
holder of Registrable Securities shall not relieve such holder of Registrable
Securities from any Liability that it may have to the CDRD Indemnified Party
other than under this section and shall only relieve it from any Liability that
it may have to the CDRD Indemnified Party under this section if and to the
extent such holder of Registrable Securities is actually prejudiced by such
omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any CDRD
Indemnified Party and such CDRD Indemnified Party shall notify such holder of
Registrable Securities of the commencement thereof, such holder of Registrable
Securities shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall
wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such CDRD Indemnified Party, and, after notice from such holder
of Registrable Securities to the CDRD Indemnified Party of its election so to
assume and undertake the defense such holder of Registrable Securities shall
not be liable to the CDRD Indemnified Party under this section for any legal
expenses subsequently incurred by the CDRD Indemnified Party in connection with
the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison
with counsel so selected; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such
action include both the holders of Registrable Securities and such CDRD
Indemnified Party and the CDRD Indemnified Party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it that are
different from or additional to those available to the holders of Registrable
Securities or if the interests of the CDRD Indemnified Party reasonably may be
deemed to conflict with the interests of the holders of Registrable Securities,
the CDRD Indemnified Party together with all other defendant CDRD Indemnified
Parties shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to
10
11
assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such
action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and
other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by
such holders of Registrable Securities as incurred.
(f) (i) With respect to the inclusion of
Registrable Securities in a registration statement pursuant to Subsection (b),
all fees, costs and expenses of and incidental to such registration, inclusion
and public offering shall be borne by CDRD; provided, however, that any
securityholders participating in such registration shall bear their pro-rata
share of the underwriting discounts and commissions, if any, incurred by them
in connection with such registration.
(ii) The fees, costs and expenses of
registration to be borne by CDRD as provided in this Subsection (f) shall
include, without limitation, all registration, filing and NASD fees, listing
fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for
CDRD, and all legal fees and disbursements and other expenses of complying with
state securities or Blue Sky laws of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which
securities to be offered are to be registered and qualified. Subject to
appropriate agreements as to confidentiality, CDRD shall make available to
counsel for the holders of Registrable Securities its documents and personnel
for due diligence purposes. Except as otherwise provided herein, fees and
disbursements of counsel and accountants for the selling securityholders shall
be borne by the respective selling securityholders.
(g) From and after the date of this Agreement,
CDRD shall not, nor shall it agree to allow the holders of any securities of
CDRD to, include any of their respective securities in any registration
statement filed by CDRD pursuant to Subsection (b) unless such inclusion will
not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities included therein or in any
underwriting thereunder.

would not have a Material Adverse Effect. "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT" means any
adverse effect

of the entity with respect to which such term is used and which is material to
such entity and other entities controlling or controlled by such entity taken

Operative Agreements by CDRD and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby , including the issuance of the Preferred
Shares and the filing of the Certificate of Designations, have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or
authorization of CDRD or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required,
(iii) this Agreement has been, and, to the extent required to be executed and
delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the other Operating
Agreements have been or will be, duly executed and delivered by CDRD, and (iv)
this Agreement constitutes and, to the extent required to be executed and
delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the other Operating
Agreements constitute or will constitute, a valid and binding obligation of
CDRD enforceable against CDRD in accordance with their respective terms, except
as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application.
(c) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock
of CDRD consists of no less than 50,000,000 Common Shares and no less than
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock; as of October 11, 1996, there are
10,184,748 Common Shares issued and outstanding (CDRD has also given an
instruction to the transfer agent for the Common Shares for the issuance of an
additional 50,643 Common Shares), all of which are listed on the NASDAQ Small
Capitalization Market, and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
All of the outstanding Common Shares have been validly issued and are fully
paid and non-assessable. No Common Shares are entitled to preemptive rights.
As of October 11, 1996, except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) attached to this
Agreement, no Common Shares are entitled to registration rights and there are
no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or
commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights
convertible into, any shares of capital stock of CDRD, or contracts,
commitments, understandings or arrangements by which CDRD is or may become
bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of CDRD or options, warrants,
scrip, rights to subscribe to, or commitments to purchase or acquire, any
shares, or securities or rights convertible into shares, of capital stock of
CDRD. CDRD has furnished or made available to the Investors true and correct
copies of CDRD's by-laws as in effect on the date of this Agreement (the
"BY-LAWS") and certificate of incorporation as in effect on the date of this
Agreement (the "CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION").
(d) Issuance of Preferred Shares. The issuance
of the Preferred Shares has been duly authorized and, when paid for and issued
in accordance with the terms hereof, the
12
13
Preferred Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free
and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances, and entitled to the rights and
preferences set forth in the Certificate of Designations. The Common Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants,
if any, are duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon issuance in
accordance with the Certificate of Designations or Warrants, as applicable,
will be listed on the NASDAQ Small Capitalization Market, the NASDAQ National
Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, and will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens,
claims, encumbrances and preemptive rights, and the holders shall be entitled
to all rights and preferences accorded to a holder of Common Shares.
(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by CDRD and the consummation by CDRD of the
transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) result in a violation
of the Certificate of Designations, the Certificate of Incorporation or the
By-Laws or the charter or bylaws of any subsidiary of CDRD, or (ii) conflict
with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or
both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of
termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in or create
a lien under, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which CDRD or any of
its subsidiaries is a party, or result in a violation of any Federal, state,
local or foreign law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including
Federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to CDRD or any of
its subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of CDRD or any of its
subsidiaries is bound or affected (except for such conflicts, defaults,
terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect);
provided that, for purposes of such representation as to Federal, state, local
or foreign law, rule or regulation, no representation is made herein with
respect to any of the same applicable solely to the Investors and not to CDRD.
CDRD is not required under any Federal, state or local law, rule or regulation
to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing (except
for informational filings necessary to maintain the continuing accuracy of
CDRD's application before the FCC), or registration (other than SEC
registrations required pursuant to this Agreement or any approvals that may be
required by the FCC in connection with the conversion of the Preferred Shares
or the exercise of the Warrants) with, any court or governmental agency in
order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement or issue and sell the Preferred Shares, the Warrants, if any, and the
Common Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that,
for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, CDRD is assuming and
relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the
Investors herein.
(f) SEC Documents; Financial Statements. The
Common Shares of CDRD are registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), and CDRD has
filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to
be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act, including material filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d), in
addition to one or more registration statements and amendments thereto
heretofore filed by CDRD with the SEC (all of the foregoing including filings
incorporated by reference therein being referred to herein as the "SEC
DOCUMENTS"). CDRD has delivered or made available to the Investors true
13
14
and complete copies of all SEC Documents (including, without limitation, proxy
information and solicitation materials and registration statements) filed with
the SEC since December 31, 1995 and all annual SEC Documents filed with the SEC
since December 31, 1994. CDRD has not provided to the Investor any information
that, according to applicable law, rule or regulation, is required to have been
disclosed publicly by CDRD but that has not been so disclosed. As of their
respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC
promulgated thereunder and other Federal, state and local laws, rules and
regulations applicable to such SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. The financial statements of CDRD included in the SEC Documents
comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC or other
applicable rules and regulations with respect to such requirements. Such
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved
(except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the
notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the
extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary
statements) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated
financial position of CDRD and its subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and
their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit
adjustments).
(g) No Material Adverse Change. Since June 30,
1996, the date through which the most recent quarterly report of CDRD on Form
10-Q has been prepared and filed with the SEC, a copy of which is included in
the SEC Documents, no Material Adverse Effect has occurred or exists with
respect to CDRD or its subsidiaries, except as otherwise disclosed or reflected
in other SEC Documents prepared through or as of a date subsequent to June 30,
1996. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no event described in Section 4.2(j)(i)
through (vii) has occurred and is continuing.
(h) Legal Proceedings. There are no actions,
suits, proceedings, arbitrations or investigations by any court, tribunal,
arbitrator, authority, agency, commission, official or other instrumentality of
the United States or any state, county, city or other political subdivision
pending or, to the knowledge of CDRD, threatened against, relating to or
affecting CDRD or any of its subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate with other such actions or proceedings, to
have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, it is expressly recognized that CDRD is involved in proceedings
with the FCC related to obtaining a Satellite DARS License, and the results of
such proceedings, whether favorable or not, shall be deemed to not have a
Material Adverse Effect for purposes of this Section 2.1(h).
(i) Compliance With Laws and Orders. The
business of CDRD and its subsidiaries is not being conducted in violation of
any law, ordinance or regulations of any governmental entity, or any order of
any governmental or regulatory authority except for
14
15
violations which either singly or in the aggregate do not and will not have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(j) No Undisclosed Liabilities. CDRD and its
subsidiaries have no liabilities or obligations not disclosed in the SEC
Documents, other than those incurred in the ordinary course of CDRD's or its
subsidiaries' respective businesses since June 30, 1996, or which, individually
or in the aggregate, do not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect on CDRD
or its subsidiaries.
(k) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. No
event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to CDRD or its
subsidiaries or their respective businesses, properties, prospects, operations
or financial condition, that, under applicable law, rule or regulation,
requires public disclosure or announcement by CDRD but that has not been so
publicly announced or disclosed.
(l) No General Solicitation. Neither CDRD, nor
any of its affiliates, or, to its knowledge, any person acting on its or their
behalf (including Libra Investments, Inc. (the "PLACEMENT AGENT")), has engaged
in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning
of Regulation D under the Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the
Preferred Shares and Warrants, if any.
(m) No Integrated Offering. Neither CDRD, nor
any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has,
directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited
any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require
registration of the Preferred Shares under the Act.
(n) Brokers. CDRD has taken no action that would
give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder's fees
or similar payments by any or all of the Investors relating to this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby, except for amounts owing to the
Placement Agent and Xxxxxxxxxx & Partners ("B&P"), which amounts shall be paid
by CDRD.
(o) Intellectual Property. CDRD does not know of
any patents, copyrights or trademarks ("INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY") that CDRD
(and/or its wholly-owned subsidiaries) does not own or have a license to use or
that it (and/or they) will be unable to acquire on reasonable terms, that are
necessary to conduct the business of CDRD and its subsidiaries as it is now
being conducted or as proposed to be conducted. To the best of CDRD's
knowledge, except as described in the SEC Documents, such Intellectual Property
is (or will be) valid and enforceable and the use of such Intellectual Property
by CDRD and/or its subsidiaries does not (or will not) infringe upon or
conflict with any rights of any third party and neither CDRD nor any of its
subsidiaries has received notice of any such infringement or conflict, and
neither CDRD nor any of its subsidiaries has any knowledge of any infringement
of its respective Intellectual Property by any third party.
15
16
(p) FCC Representations. CDRD and its
subsidiaries do not and, after consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, will not violate, or otherwise fail to comply with, any FCC
rules or regulations that could prevent CDRD or such subsidiaries from
obtaining a Pioneer's Preference Order or otherwise becoming the owner of a
Satellite DARS License. No holder of Preferred Shares is required or will be
required to obtain any approval, consent, authorization or order of, or make
any filing or registration with, the FCC in order to acquire Preferred Shares
or to exercise any of its rights under this Agreement or the Preferred Shares
or Warrants (if any), except in connection with a conversion of Preferred
Shares or exercise of any Warrants resulting in such holder, or a group of
persons who have an agreement or understanding to act in concert of which such
holder is a member, holding 50% or more of the voting securities of CDRD (such
approval being referred to in this Agreement as "ACQUISITION OF CONTROL
APPROVAL").
Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the
Investors. Each of the Investors, severally and not jointly, hereby makes the
following representations and warranties to CDRD:
(a) Authorization; Enforcement. (i) Such
Investor has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this
Agreement and to purchase the Preferred Shares and Warrants, if any, being sold
to it hereunder, (ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such
Investor and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or limited
liability company action, and (iii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of such Investor enforceable against such Investor in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors'
rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
(b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the consummation by such Investor of the
transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) result in a violation
of such Investor's organizational documents, or (ii) conflict with any
agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Investor is a party, or (iii)
result in a violation of any law, rule or regulation, or any order, judgment or
decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to such Investor. Such
Investor is not required to obtain any consent or authorization of any
governmental agency in order for it to perform its obligations under this
Agreement.
(c) Investment Representation. Such Investor is
purchasing the Preferred Shares for its own account and not with a view to
distribution in violation of any securities laws. Such Investor has no present
intention to sell the Preferred Shares and such Investor has no present
arrangement (whether or not legally binding) to sell the Preferred Shares to or
through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the
representations herein, such Investor does not agree to hold the Preferred
Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose
of the Preferred Shares at any time in accordance with Federal and state
securities laws applicable to such disposition.
16
17
(d) Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an
"accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Act. Such
Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in
general and investments in particular, so that such Investor is able to
evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Preferred Shares and to
protect its own interests in connection with such investment. In addition (but
without limiting the effect of CDRD's representations and warranties contained
herein), such Investor has received such information as it considers necessary
or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Preferred Shares pursuant
hereto. Such Investor acknowledges that no representation or warranty is made
by the Placement Agent or any persons representing the Placement Agent with
respect to CDRD or the sale of the Preferred Shares.
(e) Rule 144. Such Investor understands that
there is no public trading market for the Preferred Shares, that none is
expected to develop, and that the Preferred Shares must be held indefinitely
unless such Preferred Shares are converted into Common Shares or registered
under the Act or an exemption from registration is available. Such Investor
has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under
the Act.
(f) Brokers. Such Investor has taken no action
that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions,
finder's fees or similar payments by CDRD relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, except for amounts owing to the Placement
Agent and B&P, which amounts shall be paid by CDRD.
(g) Reliance by CDRD. Such Investor understands
that the Preferred Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on a
transactional exemption from the registration requirements of Federal and state
securities laws and that CDRD is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of
such Investor set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such
exemptions and the suitability of such Investor to acquire the Preferred
Shares.
ARTICLE III
COVENANTS
Section 3.1 Registration and Listing. (a) Until the
later of (i) three (3) years after all Preferred Shares have been exchanged
into Common Shares and (ii) if any Warrants have been issued pursuant to
Section 3.2, four (4) years after all Warrants have been exercised, CDRD will
cause the Common Shares to continue to be registered under Sections 12(b) or
12(g) of the Exchange Act, to comply in all respects with its reporting and
filing obligations under the Exchange Act and to not take any action or file
any document (whether or not permitted by the Exchange Act or the rules
thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or
suspend CDRD's reporting and filing obligations under said act. Until the
later of (i) three (3) years after all Preferred Shares have been exchanged
into Common Shares and (ii) if any Warrants have been issued pursuant to
Section 3.2, four (4) years after all Warrants have been exercised, CDRD will
take all action within its power to continue the listing or trading of the
17
18
Common Shares on the NASDAQ Small Capitalization Market, the NASDAQ National
Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, and comply
in all respects with CDRD's reporting, filing and other obligations under the
bylaws or rules of the NASD and NASDAQ and any exchange where the Common Shares
are traded. CDRD will not become a NASDAQ National Market or New York Stock
Exchange or American Stock Exchange listed company unless CDRD has first
obtained requisite shareholder approval concerning the issuance of Common
Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares in accordance with any
obligations of CDRD under any applicable agreements with the NASD or NASDAQ.
(b) CDRD shall notify the SEC and NASD,
in accordance with their requirements, of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, and shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may be
required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal
and valid issuance of the Preferred Shares and Common Shares issuable upon
conversion thereof to any Investor or subsequent holder.
Section 3.2 Warrants. In the event CDRD or its
subsidiary obtains the right to purchase a Satellite DARS License (by grant of
the Pioneer's Preference Order from the FCC or by submission of a Winning Bid)
and the purchase price payable by CDRD for such license exceeds $225,000,000,
CDRD promptly shall issue to the Investors warrants in the form of Exhibit 3
(the "WARRANTS") to purchase a number of Common Shares, at an exercise price of
$10 per share, in an amount equal to 8,333.33 multiplied by the quotient of (i)
the number of First Closing Shares divided by (ii) 40,000, for each $50,000,000
increment (or portion thereof) by which such purchase price exceeds
$225,000,000. The Warrants shall be allocated among the Investors pro rata
based on the number of Preferred Shares specified on Schedule I for each
Investor.
Section 3.3 Increase in Authorized Shares. CDRD shall
cause its number of authorized Common Shares to be increased to at least
100,000,000 on or before the later of (a) February 15, 1997 and (b) the 90th
calendar day after the First Closing Date. CDRD shall at all times reserve and
keep out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, solely for the purpose
of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the
Warrants, if any, at least such number ("MINIMUM RESERVE NUMBER") that is the
greater of (x) 10,000,000 Common Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment for
stock splits, stock dividends and similar events) and (y) 1.5 times the number
of its Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares and exercise of all outstanding
Warrants, if any. If (i) the number of authorized Common Shares is not so
increased by such date, or (ii) the number of Common Shares is not so reserved
at any time, then CDRD shall, in addition to any other remedies available to
such holders at law or equity, pay each holder of Preferred Shares a cash
payment in an amount per share equal to (1) the Securities Deficiency
Percentage (as defined herein) multiplied by (2) 3% of the Liquidation
Preference for all Preferred Shares (or the equivalent in Underlying Shares)
then held by such holder for each 30-day period thereafter until such number of
Common Shares authorized is so increased or so reserved; provided that such
cash payment shall not apply to the extent CDRD is required to make cash
payments pursuant to Section 1.5(b)(iii)(x). Such cash payment shall be
pro-rated as to a period of less than 30 days. Any cash payment required to be
made pursuant to this subsection 3.3 shall be due
18
19
and payable within 10 days of the end of any month in which such event occurs.
In the event there is a Deficiency (as defined in the Certificate of
Designations), CDRD shall comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 4(i)
of the Certificate of Designations to purchase Preferred Shares as and to the
extent required by the Certificate of Designations. For purposes of this
Section 3.3, the "SECURITIES DEFICIENCY PERCENTAGE" shall be equal to (1) the
Minimum Reserve Number minus the number of shares of Common Stock authorized
and reserved by CDRD at the time of determination divided by (2) the Minimum
Reserve Number.
Section 3.4 Replacement Certificates. The certificate(s)
representing the Preferred Shares held by any Investor (or then holder) may be
exchanged by such Investor (or such holder) at any time and from time to time
for certificates with different denominations representing an equal aggregate
number of Preferred Shares, as requested by such Investor (or such holder) upon
surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration of
transfer or exchange.
Section 3.5 Receipt of FCC Order. If the First Closing
occurs, CDRD or its wholly-owned subsidiary shall immediately take such actions
as required and when required, and otherwise use its best efforts, to acquire
the Satellite DARS License on the terms and conditions set forth in the
Pioneer's Preference Order or the Winning Bid, as applicable.
Section 3.6 Limitation on Conversion Rights.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any
time prior to the giving of a Redemption Notice (as defined in the Certificate
of Designations), no Preferred Share may be converted by an Investor to the
extent that, following conversion of such Preferred Share such Investor and its
affiliates (within the meaning of the Exchange Act) shall be the beneficial
owners (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than the
percentage of the Common Shares indicated by the Investor by marking the
applicable box below the name of such Investor on the signature pages of this
Agreement; provided that each Investor shall have the right to waive this
restriction upon 61 days prior notice to CDRD (or such lesser number of days
prior notice as shall be indicated by such Investor on its signature page
hereto). A transferee of Preferred Shares shall not be bound by this provision
unless it expressly agrees to be so bound.
Section 3.7 Transfer of License and Subsidiary. In the
event that CDRD or its subsidiary obtains a Satellite DARS License, neither
CDRD nor any of its subsidiaries shall, prior to a Qualifying Offering (as such
term is defined in the Certificate of Designations), transfer or assign such
Satellite DARS License or any interest therein or the subsidiary (or any
interest therein) of CDRD that holds such license, or any material assets used
in connection with the employment of such license, to any third party.
Section 3.8 Additional Financings. Prior to a Qualifying
Offering (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designations), CDRD
shall not undertake to conduct any debt or equity financing that is not either
pari passu or junior, in seniority, structure and maturity, to the Preferred
Shares. Prior to a final determination of whether the Pioneer's Preference
Order will be granted to CDRD, in addition to the limitations imposed by the
prior sentence, CDRD shall
19
20
not issue or commit to issue any securities or evidences of indebtedness, other
than any issuance of Common Shares or the sale of the Preferred Shares pursuant
to this Agreement.
Section 3.9 Wire Transfers. All payments required to be
made by CDRD under this Agreement or the Certificate of Designations, shall,
upon the written request of any such payee, be made by wire transfer to the
account designated by such payee.
Section 3.10 Like Treatment of Holders. Neither CDRD nor
any of its affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid
any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any holder
of Registrable Securities or holder of Preferred Shares for or as an inducement
to any consent, waiver or amendment of any terms or provisions of the
Registrable Securities or Preferred Shares, this Agreement or the Escrow
Agreement (if any), unless such consideration is offered to be paid or agreed
to be paid to all holders of Registrable Securities and holders of Preferred
Shares which so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in
solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. Neither
CDRD nor any of its affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, redeem or
repurchase any Registrable Securities or Preferred Shares unless such offer of
redemption or repurchase is made pro rata to all holders of Registrable
Securities and holders of Preferred Shares on identical terms.
Section 3.11 FCC Approval. CDRD shall, with the
reasonable cooperation of the holders of the Preferred Shares, promptly and
expeditiously after the First Closing apply for, and use its best efforts to
obtain, any and all approvals, consents, authorizations or orders of, or make
any filings or registrations with, the FCC (other than Acquisition of Control
Approval) necessary to permit the conversion of all Preferred Shares in
accordance with the Certificate of Designations and the exercise of all
Warrants (if any) (the "FCC APPROVAL"). If the FCC Approval is not obtained by
the later of (1) the 90th calendar day after the First Closing Date and (2)
February 15, 1997, CDRD shall, in addition to any other remedies available to
such holders at law or equity (including pursuant to the provisions of Section
7.2(a)), pay each holder of Preferred Shares a cash payment in an amount per
share equal to 3% of the Liquidation Preference for all Preferred Shares (or
the equivalent in Underlying Shares) then held by such holder for each 30-day
period thereafter until such FCC Approval is obtained. Such cash payment shall
be pro-rated as to a period of less than 30 days. Any cash payment required to
be made pursuant to this subsection 3.3 shall be due and payable within 10 days
of the end of any month in which such event occurs. If the FCC Approval is not
obtained by a date that is 270 days after the Initial Registration Deadline,
then CDRD shall comply with its obligations as and to the extent required by
Section 4(a) of the Certificate of Designations.
Section 3.12 Release of Escrowed Property to Investors.
If any of the events itemized in Section 3(b)(i) or (ii) of the Escrow Agreement
occur, then CDRD shall execute and deliver the certificate required by Section
4(b)(ii) of the Escrow Agreement.
Section 3.13 Additional Satellite DARS Licenses. If (a)
the Second Closing has occurred, and (b) at any time within the earlier of
twelve months after the Second Closing or the closing of a Qualified Offering,
(i) more than two licenses (including the license awarded to CDRD) have been
awarded by the FCC that permit the recipients thereof to provide Satellite
20
21
DARS services, and (ii) more than two recipients of such licenses (including
CDRD) commence or announce an intention to commence Satellite DARS services
using their license, then CDRD shall comply with its obligations as and to the
extent required by Section 4(l) of the Certificate of Designations.

("PERMITTED FINANCINGS")) and any deferred payment terms available to CDRD in

two such licenses, then the Investors shall have approved the Second Closing by

virtue of a decision of the FCC to open the portions of the spectrums from 2305
Mhz to 2320 Mhz and 2345 Mhz to 2360 Mhz previously allocated to Satellite DARS
for auction to winning bidders regardless of proposed use unless, prior to the

Satellite DARS services.

144(k) under the Act, (ii) such Common Shares are sold to a purchaser or
purchasers who (in the opinion of counsel to the seller or such purchaser, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to CDRD and its counsel) are able to

(iii), that the holder of such Common Shares or the recipient upon such
conversion represents to CDRD that such holder will only sell such shares, if
at all, pursuant to the plan of distribution described in an effective
registration statement.
ARTICLE VI

Section 7.2 Specific Enforcement, Consent to
Jurisdiction.
(a) CDRD and the Investors acknowledge and agree
that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of
this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or
were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the
provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, this remedy being in addition to any other remedy
to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
(b) CDRD (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of the United States District Court, the New York State courts and
other courts of the United States sitting in New York County, New York for the
purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in
an inconvenient forum or that the venue
25
26
of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. CDRD consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such
party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and
agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of
process and notice thereof. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect or limit
any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

no provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by a written
instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment
or waiver is sought. Upon delivery of any such counterpart and acceptance
thereof by CDRD, such additional investor shall be an Investor (such term as
used in this Agreement to include such additional investor) and shall be as

signatory of this Agreement, and no consent of any other Investor shall be
required for such addition.

liable in an amount in excess of the Purchase Price paid by such Investor.
Section 7.6 Waivers. No waiver by any party of any
default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver
of any other provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement, nor shall
any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right under this Agreement
in any manner impair the exercise of any such right accruing to it after such
waiver.
Section 7.7 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are
for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not
be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 7.8 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and assigns.
The parties to this Agreement may amend this Agreement without notice to or the
consent of any third party. CDRD may not assign this Agreement or any rights
or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all
Investors (which consent may be withheld for any reason in such Investor's sole
discretion). Any Investor may assign this Agreement or any rights or
obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part without the consent of
CDRD or any other Investor in connection with any sale or transfer of all or
any part of the Preferred Shares or Warrants, if any, or Underlying Shares

by law or applicable regulation, and then only to the extent of such
requirement.
Section 7.14 Agents. The parties acknowledge and agree
that the Investors are not agents, affiliates or partners of each other, that
all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Investors
under this Agreement are several and not joint, that no Investor shall have any
responsibility or liability for the representations, warrants, agreements, acts
or omissions of any other Investor, and that any rights granted to "Investors"
under this Agreement shall be enforceable by each Investor under this
Agreement.
Section 7.15 Severability; Interpretation. If any
provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable
under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of any party
under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a)
such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and
enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never
comprised a part hereof, and (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will
remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid
or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS
OF
5% DELAYED CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
RESOLVED that there shall be a series of shares of the
Preferred Stock of CD Radio Inc. (the "CORPORATION"), designated "5% Delayed
Convertible Preferred Stock"; that the number of shares of such series shall be
8,000,000 and that the rights and preferences of such series (the "5%
PREFERRED") and the limitations or restrictions thereon, shall be as follows:
1. Dividends.
(a) The holders of the 5% Preferred shall be entitled to
receive out of any assets legally available therefor cumulative dividends at the
rate of $1.25 per share per annum, payable semi-annually on April 15 and October
15 of each year, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, in preference
and priority to any payment of any dividend on the Common Stock or any other
class or series of stock of the Corporation. Such dividends shall accrue on any
given share from the date of original issuance of the 5% Preferred and shall
accrue from day to day whether or not earned or declared, based on the actual
days elapsed and a 360-day year of 12 30-day months. If at any time dividends on
the outstanding 5% Preferred at the rate set forth above shall not have been
paid or declared and set apart for payment with respect to all preceding
periods, the amount of the deficiency shall be fully paid or declared and set
apart for payment, but without interest, before any distribution, whether by way
of dividend or otherwise, shall be declared or paid upon or set apart for the
shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation.
(b) Any dividend payable on the outstanding 5% Preferred may
be paid, at the option of the Corporation, either (i) in cash or (ii) by adding
the amount of such dividend to the Liquidation Preference (as defined below);
provided, however, that if the Corporation shall fail to pay any dividend when
due, the amount of such dividend shall be added to the Liquidation Preference
for such shares of 5% Preferred.
2. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary,
the holders of the 5% Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior and in
preference to any distribution of any assets of the Corporation to the holders
of any other class or series of shares, the amount of $25 per share plus any
accrued but unpaid dividends (the "LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE").
65
3. Redemption; Forced Conversion; Lock-up.
(a) The 5% Preferred may be redeemed in whole but not in part
by the Corporation at any time (such date being referred to herein as the
"REDEMPTION DATE"), beginning on the later to occur of (i) December 15, 1997 and
(ii) the date that is 10 months after the date of original issuance of the 5%
Preferred, plus, in each case, one day for each day during which (x) a
registration statement has not been declared effective with respect to the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the 5% Preferred by the later of (A)
the 90th calendar day after the date of original issuance of the 5% Preferred
and (B) February 15, 1997 (the "INITIAL REGISTRATION DEADLINE"), or (y) any such
registration statement is suspended or the related prospectus is not current,
complete and otherwise usable, at a redemption price (the "REDEMPTION PRICE")
equal to (A) the Liquidation Preference plus (B) any accrued but unpaid cash
payments due with respect to the 5% Preferred in accordance with Sections
1.5(b), 3.3 and 3.11 of the Preferred Stock Investment Agreement dated as of
October 23, 1996, among the Corporation and the Investors named therein (the
"INVESTMENT AGREEMENT")("CASH PAYMENTS"); provided, that the Corporation may not
exercise such right of redemption unless (i) the average closing price of the
Common Stock as reported in the Wall Street Journal for the 20 consecutive
trading days prior to the Redemption Notice (as defined below) shall equal or
exceed $18 per share (subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits
and reverse stock splits), and (ii) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the 5% Preferred are registered for resale by an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "ACT"),
in compliance with the Investment Agreement, and such registration statement
remains in effect continuously without suspension and the prospectus remains
current, complete and otherwise usable from the date of the Redemption Notice
(as defined below) to and including the Redemption Date.
(b) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date, irrevocable written notice (the "REDEMPTION NOTICE") shall be
mailed, first class postage prepaid, by the Corporation to each holder of record
of the 5% Preferred, at the address last shown on the records of the Corporation
for such holder, notifying such holder of the redemption that is to be effected,
specifying the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, and the place at which
payment may be obtained and calling upon each such holder to surrender to the
Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, a certificate or
certificates representing all the shares of 5% Preferred held by such holder.
Subject to the provisions of the following subsection (c), on or after the
Redemption Date, each holder of 5% Preferred shall surrender to the Corporation
the certificate or certificates representing all the shares of 5% Preferred
owned by such holder as of the Redemption Date, in the manner and at the place
designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price of such
shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such
certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered
certificate shall be cancelled.
(c) If at the Redemption Date the registration condition
specified in clause (ii) of subsection (a) shall not be satisfied, then no
shares shall be redeemed and the Redemption Notice shall be deemed to be
withdrawn. In such event, any notice of conversion given by a holder of 5%
Preferred after the Redemption Notice was given shall be deemed to be withdrawn,
and any certificates for 5% Preferred which have been surrendered for conversion
or redemption
- 2 -
66
shall be returned to the persons surrendering the same; provided, however, that
if a holder shall have received shares of Common Stock upon conversion of 5%
Preferred after the Redemption Notice was given but before the Redemption Date,
such holder may elect either to retain such Common Stock or tender such shares
of Common Stock to the Corporation for the Redemption Price.
(d) From and after the Redemption Date, unless there shall
have been a default in payment of the Redemption Price, all rights of the
holders of shares that have been redeemed (except the right to receive the
Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of the certificate or
certificates representing such shares) shall cease with respect to such shares,
and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the
Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever.
(e) (i) If the Corporation sells Common Stock for net cash
proceeds to the Corporation in an amount not less than $100 million in a
registered underwritten public offering (other than stock issuable pursuant to a
registration statement on Form S-8 or S-4) prior to October 15, 1997 (a
"QUALIFYING OFFERING"), the Corporation may, upon consummation of the Qualifying
Offering, redeem the 5% Preferred in whole (but not in part) for an amount per
share in cash equal to (A) the sum of the Liquidation Preference plus any Cash
Payments due (B) divided by 72.125%. The Corporation shall give notice of such
redemption pursuant to this subsection (e) in the same manner as set forth for
Redemption Notices generally except that such notice must be given at the time
of the earlier of the initial filing or the public announcement of a proposed
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the registration statement
with respect to the Qualifying Offering.
(ii) If the Corporation does not give notice of
redemption of the 5% Preferred pursuant to clause (i) of this subsection (e),
the Corporation and its underwriters may, by written notice from the Corporation
and its lead underwriter to each holder of 5% Preferred (a "LOCK-UP REQUEST"),
mailed on or after the time of the earlier of the initial filing or the public
announcement of a proposed filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of
the registration statement with respect to the Qualifying Offering, first class
postage prepaid, at the address last shown on the records of the Corporation for
such holder, request that such holder of 5% Preferred agree, and cause any
transferee of such 5% Preferred to agree, to not offer, sell or transfer any
shares of the Common Stock into which the same may be converted during the
180-day period beginning on a date specified in the Lock-up Request, which date
may be as early as five (5) business days prior to the expected effective date
(but no later than the effective date) with respect to the registration
statement for the Qualifying Offering (the "LOCK-UP"); provided that the
Corporation shall specify the expected effective date by notice to the holders
given not later than two (2) business days prior to the beginning of the Lock-up
period (the "EFFECTIVE DATE NOTICE"). If the Corporation so requests a Lock-up,
each holder of 5% Preferred shall have the right, regardless of whether the
Corporation revokes or attempts to revoke the Lock-up Request, to require the
Corporation, upon consummation of the Qualifying Offering, to purchase its 5%
Preferred for a cash amount equal to (A) the sum of the Liquidation Preference
plus any Cash Payments due (B) divided by an amount equal to 1 minus the
Applicable Percentage; provided, that the Applicable Percentage for purposes of
this subsection (ii) shall be the Applicable Percentage in effect under Section
4(d)(ii) determined by reference to the date of consummation
- 3 -
67
of the Qualifying Offering or, if such consummation occurs prior to February 15,
1997, 12.125%. In order for any holder of 5% Preferred to exercise such right,
such holder must give notice of such fact to the Corporation not later than 15
days after the Corporation has given the Lock-up Request. If any holder of 5%
Preferred shall fail for any reason to timely exercise such right, such holder,
by acceptance of shares of the 5% Preferred, shall be deemed to have agreed to
(1) be bound by the Lock-up Request and shall comply with and be bound by the
Lock-up and (2) sign a lock-up agreement in customary form if requested to do so
by the lead underwriter of the Qualifying Offering. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Corporation requests in the Lock-up Request that the Lockup
become effective prior to the effective date of the registration statement with
respect to the Qualifying Offering then such Lock-up shall terminate if such
registration statement is not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on or before the fifth business day following the expected effective
date specified in the Effective Date Notice and may be reinstated only by the
giving of a new Effective Date Notice within 30 calendar days of such
termination. After such 30-day period, a new Lock-up Request shall be required
in order to effect a new Lock-up.
(f) The Corporation may, upon at least 30 days but not more
than 60 days prior notice to the holders of 5% Preferred given in the same
manner specified for Redemption Notices generally, require the holders of all
and not less than all of outstanding shares of 5% Preferred to convert such
shares into (x) Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price (as defined
in Section 4(d)) and (y) all Cash Payments due on the Optional Conversion Date
(as defined below), effective on a date (the "OPTIONAL CONVERSION DATE")
specified in such notice that is three years or more after the date of original
issuance of the 5% Preferred; provided that that no such conversion shall occur
if the Corporation has commenced voluntary bankruptcy, become subject to
involuntary bankruptcy, had a receiver, liquidator, trustee or other officer
having similar power over the Corporation appointed over all or a substantial
part of its property, has ceased operations or shall be in default for money
borrowed (or the deferred purchase price of property and assets) in excess of
$50,000,000 and, in each case, such situation shall not have been remedied.
Within 3 business days after the Optional Conversion Date, written notice shall
be mailed, first class postage prepaid, by the Corporation to each holder of
record of the 5% Preferred, at the address last shown on the records of the
Corporation for such holder, notifying such holder of the optional conversion
that has been effected, specifying the then applicable Liquidation Preference,
Cash Payments and Conversion Price (and the method of calculation thereof) and
the place at which such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates
representing the Preferred Shares so converted, and calling upon each such
holder to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place
designated, a certificate or certificates representing all the shares of 5%
Preferred held by such holder. Each holder of 5% Preferred shall surrender to
the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing all the shares of
5% Preferred owned by such holder as of the Optional Conversion Date, in the
manner and at the place designated in such notice, and thereupon the Corporation
shall issue and deliver to or upon the order of such holder a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall
be entitled and shall pay to each such holder, in immediately available funds,
an amount equal to all Cash Payments due on the Optional Conversion Date with
respect to such holder's shares of 5% Preferred.
- 4 -
68
(g) If at any time a Reorganization (as defined in Section
4(k)) shall occur or be proposed, each holder of 5% Preferred shall have the
right to require the Corporation, effective upon consummation of such
Reorganization, to purchase its 5% Preferred for a cash amount equal to (A) the
sum of the Liquidation Preference plus any Cash Payments due (B) divided by
72.125%. In order for any holder of 5% Preferred to exercise such right, such
holder must give notice of such fact to the Corporation not later than the later
to occur of (i) 30 days after receipt of notice of the Reorganization and (ii)
the consummation of the Reorganization. The Corporation shall provide notice to
holders of 5% Preferred given in the same manner as specified for Redemption
Notices generally, at least 30 days prior to the anticipated date of the
consummation of a Reorganization, which notice shall reasonably set forth the
rights of holders of 5% Preferred under this Section 3(g) and Section 4(k).
4. Conversion. The holders of the 5% Preferred shall have
optional conversion rights as follows:
(a) Accrual of Conversion Rights. Commencing on the earlier to
occur of (i) February 16, 1997 and (ii) the announcement or commencement of a
tender offer for shares of Common Stock, the 5% Preferred shares shall become
convertible; provided that the Corporation shall not be obligated to honor any
request for conversion of shares of the 5% Preferred at any time to the extent
that approval of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC APPROVAL") of the
issuance of shares of Common Stock upon such conversion is or would be required
and has not been obtained; provided further that if FCC Approval (other than
approval in connection with a conversion of shares of the 5% Preferred resulting
in a holder of shares of the 5% Preferred, or a group of persons who have an
agreement or understanding to act in concert of which such holder is a member,
holding 50% or more of the voting securities of the Corporation) is not obtained
by a date that is 270 days after the Initial Registration Deadline, then, at any
time thereafter at the request of any holder of shares of the 5% Preferred, the
Corporation shall promptly purchase from such holder, at a purchase price per
share equal to (A) the sum of the Liquidation Preference plus any Cash Payments
divided by (B) 72.125%, the shares of 5% Preferred held by such holder.
(b) Right to Convert. At and after the time it has become
convertible, each share of 5% Preferred shall be convertible, at the option of
the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock as is determined by dividing (i) the Liquidation Preference plus
any Cash Payments due on the date the notice of conversion is given, by (ii) the
Conversion Price determined as hereinafter provided in effect on said date.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. To convert shares of 5% Preferred
into shares of Common Stock, the holder shall give written notice to the
Corporation (which notice may be given by facsimile transmission) that such
holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares
to be converted and the name or names in which such holder wishes the
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. Promptly
thereafter the holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates
representing the shares to be converted, duly endorsed, at the office of the
Corporation or of any transfer agent for such shares, or at such other place
designated by the Corporation; provided that the Corporation shall at all times
maintain an office or agency in New York City for such purposes. The Corporation
shall,
- 5 -

immediately upon receipt of such notice, issue and deliver to or upon the order
of such holder, against delivery of the certificates representing the shares
that have been converted, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled (in the number(s) and
denomination(s) designated by such holder), and the Corporation shall deliver to
such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of 5%
Preferred that such holder has not elected to convert (in the number(s) and
denomination(s) designated by such holder). The Corporation shall effect such
issuance and shall transmit the certificates by messenger or overnight delivery
service to reach the address designated by such holder within two business days
after the receipt of such notice. For all purposes of this Certificate of
Designations, such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately
prior to the close of business on the date such notice of conversion is given.
The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or
holders of such shares of Common Stock at the close of business on such date.
(d) Determination of Conversion Price.
(i) At any date up to and including November 15,
1997, the "CONVERSION PRICE" shall be, as applicable, either (x) the
weighted-average (based upon the number of shares sold) of the actual selling
price (but not less than the lower of (A) the price of shares sold in the
Qualifying Offering if shares are so sold on the date of such trade and (B) the
low trading price on the date of such trade as reported on the principal market
for the Common Stock), at which the holder shall have sold shares of Common
Stock received or receivable upon conversion of the 5% Preferred, reduced by any
trading commissions or underwriting spreads paid by such holder, as certified to
the Corporation by such holder, multiplied by an amount equal to 1 minus the
Applicable Percentage set forth below, or (y) the average of the daily means
between the low trading price of the Common Stock and the closing price of the
Common Stock for the 3 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date
of conversion, multiplied by an amount equal to 1 minus the Applicable
Percentage set forth below; provided, however, that clause (x) shall only apply
to the extent shares of Common Stock are actually so sold and the holder
converting 5% Preferred shall have given notice to the Corporation of such sale
not more than 24 hours after such sale; provided further that, failure to give
such notice within such time shall result in determination of the Conversion
Price in accordance with clause (y).
- 6 -
70
(ii) The "APPLICABLE PERCENTAGE" shall be as follows:
Conversion after the
following date: Applicable Percentage:
--------------- ----------------------
2/15/97 12.125%
3/15/97 14.250%
4/15/97 14.375%
5/15/97 18.125%
6/15/97 19.875%
7/15/97 21.625%
8/15/97 23.250%
9/15/97 24.875%
10/15/97 25.000%
11/15/97 27.875%
(iii) At any date after November 15, 1997, the Conversion Price
shall be 72.125% of the least of (x) the average of the daily means between the
low trading price of the Common Stock and the closing price of the Common Stock
for all the trading days between October 15, 1997 and November 15, 1997
(inclusive) for such trading days, (y) the average of the daily means between
the low trading price of the Common Stock and the closing price of the Common
Stock during the 3 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of
conversion and (z) the weighted-average (based upon the number of shares sold)
of the actual selling price (but not less than the low trading price on the date
of such trade as reported on the principal market for the Common Stock), at
which the holder shall have sold shares of Common Stock received or receivable
upon conversion of the 5% Preferred, reduced by any trading commissions or
underwriting spreads paid by such holder, as certified to the Corporation by
such holder; provided, however, that clause (z) shall only apply to the extent
shares of Common Stock are actually sold and the holder converting 5% Preferred
shall have given notice to the Corporation of such sale not more than 24 hours
after such sale; provided, further that, clause (z) shall be unavailable if such
holder shall fail to give such notice within such time.
(iv) The "LOW TRADING PRICE" and the "CLOSING PRICE", respectively,
of the Common Stock on any day shall be (A) the lowest reported sale price and
the reported closing price (last sale price), regular way, of the Common Stock
on the principal stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, or (B) if
the Common Stock is not listed on a stock exchange, the lowest reported sale
price and the reported closing price of the Common Stock on the principal
automated securities price quotation system on which sale prices of the Common
Stock are reported, or (C) if the Common Stock is not listed on a stock exchange
and sale prices of the Common Stock are not reported on an automated quotation
system, the final bid price and the mean of the final bid and asked prices for
the Common Stock as reported by National Quotation Bureau Incorporated if at
least two securities dealers have inserted both bid and asked quotations for the
Common Stock on at least five of the ten preceding trading days. If none of the
foregoing provisions are applicable, the phrase "MEANS BETWEEN THE LOW TRADING
PRICE OF THE COMMON STOCK AND THE CLOSING PRICE OF THE COMMON STOCK" on a day
will be the fair market
- 7 -
71
value of the Common Stock on that day as determined by a member firm of the New
York Stock Exchange, Inc., selected in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation. The term "TRADING DAY" means (x) if the Common Stock is listed
on at least one stock exchange, a day on which there is trading on the principal
stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, (y) if the Common Stock is
not listed on a stock exchange but sale prices of the Common Stock are reported
on an automated quotation system, a day on which trading is reported on the
principal automated quotation system on which sales of the Common Stock are
reported, or (z) if the foregoing provisions are inapplicable, a day on which
quotations are reported by National Quotation Bureau Incorporated.
(v) In the event that during any period of consecutive
trading days provided for above, the Corporation shall declare or pay any
dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or in rights to acquire
Common Stock, or shall effect a stock split or reverse stock split, or a
combination, consolidation or reclassification of the Common Stock, then the
Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased or increased, as
appropriate, to give effect to such event.
(e) Distributions. In the event the Corporation shall at any
time or from time to time make or issue, or fix a record date for the
determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or
other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation or other property
(other than cash paid out of current earnings) or any of its subsidiaries other
than additional shares of Common Stock, then in each such event, in addition to
the number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion, provision shall
be made so that the holders of 5% Preferred shall receive, upon the conversion
thereof, the securities of the Corporation that they would have received had
they been the owners on the date of such event of the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable to them upon conversion.
(f) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of any
adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4,
the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and cause independent public
accountants selected by the Corporation to verify such computation and prepare
and furnish to each holder of 5% Preferred a certificate setting forth such
adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written
request at any time of any holder of 5% Preferred, furnish or cause to be
furnished to such holder a like certificate prepared by the Corporation setting
forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, and (ii) the number of other
securities and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be
received upon the conversion of 5% Preferred with respect to each share of
Common Stock received upon such conversion.
(g) Notice of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the
Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend or other distribution, any security or right convertible into or
entitling the holder thereof to receive additional shares of Common Stock, or
any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of
any class or any other securities or property, or to receive or exercise any
other right, the Corporation shall mail
- 8 -
72
to each holder of 5% Preferred at least 10 days prior to the date specified
therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken
for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, security or right and the amount
and character of such dividend, distribution, security or right.
(h) Issue Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue
and other taxes, excluding any income, franchise or similar taxes, that may be
payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on
conversion of shares of 5% Preferred pursuant hereto; provided, however, that
the Corporation shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from
any transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such conversion.
(i) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The
Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of the shares of the 5% Preferred, at least such number of its shares
of Common Stock that is the greater of (a) 10,000,000 and (b) 1.5 times the
number as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
outstanding shares of the 5% Preferred at the Conversion Price calculated using
the method set forth in Section 4(d)(i)(y) or Section 4(d)(iii)(x) or (y), as
applicable, and the Applicable Percentage, in each case as adjusted for all
subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock or payments of dividends on the
Common Stock made in shares of Common Stock, and if at any time the number of
authorized but unissued and reserved shares of Common Stock shall not be greater
than or equal to such larger amount, the Corporation will take such corporate
action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued and reserved shares of Common Stock to such number of
shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation,
engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval. In the
event that the Corporation shall at any time fail to authorize or reserve the
number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to effect the conversion of all
outstanding shares of the 5% Preferred at the Conversion Price calculated using
the method set forth in Section 4(d)(i)(y) or Section 4(d)(iii)(x) or (y), as
applicable, and the Applicable Percentage, then at any time thereafter at the
request of any holder of shares of the 5% Preferred, the Corporation shall
promptly purchase from such holder, at a purchase price equal to (A) the sum of
the Liquidation Preference plus any Cash Payments due divided by (B) 72.125%,
the number of shares of the 5% Preferred equal to such holder's pro-rata share
of the "DEFICIENCY." The "DEFICIENCY" shall be equal to the number of shares of
the 5% Preferred that would not be able to be converted for shares of Common
Stock, due to an insufficient amount of Common Stock available, if all the then
outstanding shares of the 5% Preferred were submitted for conversion.
(j) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued
upon the conversion of any share or shares of 5% Preferred. All shares of Common
Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one
share of 5% Preferred by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of
determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any
fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would
result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation
shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the holder otherwise
entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such
fraction on the date of conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation).
- 9 -
73
(k) Reorganization or Merger. In case of any reorganization or
any reclassification of the Common Stock or other capital stock of the
Corporation or any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any
other corporation or corporations or a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Corporation to any other person (a "REORGANIZATION"), in which any
of the holders of 5% Preferred does not elect to require the Corporation to
redeem the 5% Preferred as provided in Section 3(g), then, as part of such
Reorganization, provision shall be made so that each share of 5% Preferred shall
thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities
or property (including cash) to which a holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon conversion of such share of 5% Preferred not so redeemed
would have been entitled upon the record date of (or date of, if no record date
is fixed) such event and, in any case, appropriate adjustment (as determined by
the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions
herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the
holders of the 5% Preferred, to the end that the provisions set forth herein
shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as equivalent as is practicable, in
relation to any shares of stock or the securities or property (including cash)
thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the shares of 5% Preferred.
(l) Additional Satellite DARS Licenses. If (a) the Corporation
has issued shares of 5% Preferred in the second closing under the Investment
Agreement ("SECOND CLOSING") and (b) at any time within the earlier of the
closing of a Qualified Offering and twelve months after the Second Closing, (i)
more than two licenses (including the license awarded to the Corporation) have
been awarded by the Federal Communications Commission that permit the recipients
thereof to provide satellite digital audio radio services ("SATELLITE DARS"),
and (ii) more than two recipients of such licenses (including the Corporation)
commence or announce an intention to commence Satellite DARS using their license
and (iii) the holders of more than one-third of the then outstanding shares of
5% Preferred shall so request in writing, then, on the first business day
following 60 calendar days after receipt of such request, the Corporation shall
promptly purchase one-half of the shares of 5% Preferred held by each such
requesting holder as of such date at a purchase price per share equal to (A) the
sum of the Liquidation Preference plus any Cash Payments then due and unpaid
divided by (B) an amount equal to 1 minus the Applicable Percentage.
5. Other Provisions. For all purposes of this Certificate of
Designations, the term "DATE OF ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THE 5% PREFERRED" shall
mean the day on which any shares of the 5% Preferred are first issued by the
Corporation pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, and the terms
"TRADING PRICE", "LAST TRADE PRICE", "CLOSING PRICE" and "TRADING DAYS" shall
have the meanings given them in Section 4(d)(iv) hereof. Any provision herein
that conflicts with or violates any applicable usury law shall be seemed
modified to the extent necessary to avoid such conflict or violation.
6. Restrictions and Limitations. The Corporation shall not undertake the
following actions without the consent of the holders of a majority of the 5%
Preferred: (A) modify its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws so as to amend
or change any of the rights, preferences or privileges of the 5% Preferred; (B)
purchase or otherwise acquire for value any Common Stock or other equity
security of the Corporation or any non-wholly-owned subsidiary thereof not held
by the Corporation or any wholly-owned subsidiary while there exists any
arrearage in the
- 10 -

payment of cumulative dividends hereunder or any Cash Payments due or the
Liquidation Preference exceeds $25; or (C) prior to a Qualifying Offering: (i)
authorize or issue any other preferred equity security senior to the 5%
Preferred (in security, structure or maturity); (ii) declare or pay any
dividends or make any distribution except to the holders of the 5% Preferred; or
(iii) effect any Reorganization. The Corporation shall not, in connection with a
repurchase of any shares of 5% Preferred, undertake any of the following actions
without the consent of all of the holders of the 5% Preferred: (1) reduce the
amount of 5% Preferred whose holders must consent to an amendment or waiver, (2)
reduce the rate of, or change the time for payment of, dividends on the 5%
Preferred or alter the Liquidation Preference, or (3) alter the conversion
provisions with respect to the 5% Preferred.
7. Voting Rights. Except as provided herein or as provided for by law,
the 5% Preferred shall have no voting rights.
8. Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Certificate
of Designations to be given to the holders of shares of 5% Preferred shall be
deemed given five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage
prepaid, or one day after deposit with a nationally-recognized overnight
courier, in either case addressed to each holder of record at its address
appearing on the books of the Corporation. The Corporation shall distribute to
the holders of shares of the 5% Preferred, copies of all notices, materials,
annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements, information statements and any
other documents distributed generally to the holders of shares of Common Stock,
at such times and by such method as such documents are distributed to such
holders.
9. Attorneys' Fees. Any holder of 5% Preferred shall be entitled to
recover from the Corporation the reasonable attorneys, fees and expenses
incurred by such holder in connection with enforcement by such holder of any
obligation of the Corporation hereunder.

Escrowed Property to be released to Party A, to enable Party A to fully and
timely make the payments required to purchase the Satellite DARS License; or

Ladies and Gentlemen:
All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning
as defined in the Escrow Agreement. Pursuant to paragraph 4(b) of Schedule A to

thereof] [The Investment Agreement has terminated in accordance with its
terms].
Citibank, N.A., as escrow agent, is therefore authorized to release to
Investors the Escrowed Property, plus all interest earned thereon, as provided

SECTION 1. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. As used in this Warrant,
unless the context otherwise requires:
"Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock" means all shares of
Nonpreferred Stock issued or issuable by the Issuer after the date of this
Warrant, other than the Warrant Stock.
"Affiliate" means, with respect to a specified Person, any
other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For purposes of
this definition, "control" (including, with correlative meanings, the terms
"controlled by" and "under common control with"), as used with respect to any
Person, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to
direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such person,
whether through the ownership of voting securities or by agreement or
otherwise.
"Appraised Value" means the fair market value of all
outstanding Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis including any fractional
shares and assuming the exercise in full of all then-outstanding Warrants and
all other options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock
that are then currently exercisable at exercise prices less than the Current
Market Price), as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. "Fair
market value" is defined for this purpose as the price in a single transaction
determined on a going-concern basis that would be agreed upon by the most
likely hypothetical buyer for 100% of the equity capital of the Issuer (on a
fully diluted basis including any fractional shares and assuming the exercise
in full of all then-outstanding Warrants and all other options, warrants or
other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock that are then currently
exercisable at exercise prices less than the Current Market Price).
"Board of Directors" means either the board of directors of the
Issuer or any duly authorized committee of that board.
"Business Day" means any day that is not a Saturday or a Sunday
or a public holiday or a day on which banks are required or permitted to close
under the laws of the State of New York.
"Common Stock" means the Issuer's authorized common stock as
constituted on the date of original issuance of this Warrant, and any other
stock into which such Common Stock may be changed after such date.
"Convertible Securities" means evidences of indebtedness,
shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable
for Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock, either immediately or upon the
arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event.
"Current Market Price" per share of Common Stock for the
purposes of any provision of this Warrant at the date herein specified, shall
be deemed to be the price determined pursuant to the first applicable of the
following methods:
(i) If the Common Stock is traded on a national
securities exchange or is traded in the over-the-counter market, the Current
Market Price per share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of
the daily market prices for five (5) consecutive Business Days commencing five
(5) Business Days before such date. The market price for each such Business
Day shall be, (a) if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities
exchange or the NASDAQ National Market, its last reported sale price on the
preceding Business Day on such national securities exchange or the NASDAQ
National Market or, if there was no sale on that day, the last reported sale
price on such national securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market on
the next preceding Business Day on which there was a
2
100
sale, all as made available over the Consolidated Last Sale Reporting System
of the CTA Plan (the "CLSRS") or, if the Common Stock is not then eligible for
reporting over the CLSRS, its last reported sale price on the preceding
Business Day on such national securities exchange or the NASDAQ National
Market or, if there was no sale on that day, on the next preceding Business
Day on which there was a sale on such exchange or (b) if the principal market
for the Common Stock is the over-the-counter market, but the Common Stock is
not then eligible for reporting over the CLSRS, but the Common Stock is quoted
on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System
("NASDAQ"), the last sale price reported on NASDAQ on the preceding Business
Day or, if the Common Stock is an issue for which last sale prices are not
reported on NASDAQ, the closing bid quotation on such day, but, in each of the
next preceding two cases, if the relevant NASDAQ price or quotation did not
exist on such day, then the price or quotation on the next preceding Business
Day in which there was such a price or quotation.
(ii) If the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock
cannot be ascertained by any of the methods set forth in paragraph (i)
immediately above, the Current Market Price per share of outstanding Common
Stock shall be deemed to be the price equal to the quotient determined by
dividing the Appraised Value by the number of shares (including any fractional
shares) of Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis as determined in accordance
with GAAP.
"Current Warrant Price" per share of Common Stock, for the
purpose of any provision of this Warrant at the date herein specified, means
the amount equal to the quotient resulting from dividing the Exercise Price in
effect on such date by the number of shares (including any fractional share)
of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit on such date.
"Effective Date" means the date this Warrant was issued by the
Issuer.
"Election Notice" has the meaning ascribed to such term in
Section 2 of this Warrant.

SECTION 2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The Holder may, at any time
during the Exercise Period, exercise this Warrant in whole at any time or in
part from time to time for the number of Stock Units which such Holder is then
entitled to purchase under this Warrant; provided that the Issuer shall not be
obligated to honor any request for exercise of this Warrant at any time to the
extent that approval of
4
102
the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") of the issuance of shares of
Warrant Stock upon such exercise is or would be required and has not been
obtained.
The Issuer shall promptly and expeditiously after the Effective
Date apply for, and uses its best efforts to obtain, any and all approvals,
consents, authorizations or orders of, or make any filings or registrations
with, the FCC necessary to permit the exercise of this Warrant and all
warrants issued to the Investors (as defined in the Investment Agreement) in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (the "FCC Approval"). If the FCC
Approval is not obtained by a date that is 270 days after the Initial
Registration Deadline, then, at any time thereafter at the request of the
holder of this Warrant (as defined in the Investment Agreement), the Issuer
shall promptly purchase this Warrant from such holder, at a purchase price
equal to (A) the number of Stock Units that would otherwise be then issuable
upon exercise in full of this Warrant multiplied by (B) (i) the Current Market
Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock that comprise a Stock
Unit minus (ii) the Exercise Price.
The Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by
either of the following methods:
(a) The Holder may deliver to the Issuer at its office
maintained pursuant to Section 15 ("Issuer's Business Office") for such
purpose (i) a written notice of such Holder's election to exercise this
Warrant (an "Election Notice"), which notice shall specify the number of Stock
Units to be purchased, (ii) this Warrant and (iii) a sum equal to the Exercise
Price therefor in immediately available funds; or
(b) The Holder may also exercise this Warrant, in whole or in
part, in a "cashless" or "net-issue" exercise by delivering to the Issuer's
Business Office (i) this Warrant and (ii) an Election Notice, which Election
Notice shall specify the number of Stock Units to be delivered to such Holder
("Deliverable Units") and the number of Stock Units with respect to which this
Warrant is being surrendered in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for
the Deliverable Units ("Surrendered Units"); provided that the Exercise Price
multiplied by the number of Deliverable Units shall not exceed the value of
the Surrendered Units; provided further that the sum of number of Deliverable
Units and the number of Surrendered Units so specified shall not exceed the
aggregate Stock Units represented by this Warrant. For purposes of this
provision, each Stock Unit as to which this Warrant is surrendered will be
attributed a value equal to the product of (x) the Current Market Price per
share of Common Stock minus the Current Warrant Price per share of Common
Stock, multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock then comprising
a Stock Unit.
An Election Notice may be in the form of the subscription set
out at the end of this Warrant. Upon delivery thereof, the Issuer shall as
promptly as practicable, and in any event within two (2) Business Days
thereafter, cause to be executed and delivered to such Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the aggregate number of fully-paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise.
The stock certificate or certificates for Warrant Stock so
delivered shall be in such denominations as may be specified in the Election
Notice and shall be registered in the name of such Holder or such other name
or names as shall be designated in the Election Notice. Such certificate or
certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and such Holder or any other
Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a
holder of record of such shares, and shall have rights including, to the
extent permitted by law, the right to vote such shares or to consent or to
receive notice as a stockholder, as of the time the Election Notice is
delivered to the Issuer in accordance with this Section 2(b). If this Warrant
shall have been exercised only in part, the Issuer shall, at the time of
delivery of said certificate or certificates, deliver to such Holder a new
Warrant dated the date of the
5
103
Election Notice, evidencing the rights of such Holder to purchase Stock Units
in an amount equal to the total number of Stock Units represented by this
Warrant minus the total number of Deliverable Units and Surrendered Units
received upon exercise of this Warrant through the date of such exercise in
part, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this
Warrant, or, at the request of such Holder, appropriate notation may be made
on this Warrant and this Warrant shall be returned to such Holder.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8, the Issuer shall pay
all expenses, transfer taxes and other charges payable in connection with the
preparation, issuance and delivery of stock certificates under this Section 2,
except that, if such stock certificates shall be registered in a name or names
other than the name of the Holder, funds sufficient to pay all stock transfer
taxes which shall be payable upon the issuance of such stock certificate or
certificates shall be paid by the Holder at the time of delivering the
Exercise Notice.
All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from
all liens and other encumbrances thereon, other than liens or other
encumbrances created by the Holder.
Except as provided in Section 7, the Issuer will not close its
books against the transfer of this Warrant or of any share of Warrant Stock in
any manner that interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would be
deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Issuer shall, at its option,
either issue fractional shares of Common Stock or pay in cash an amount equal
to the Current Market Price of such fractional interest.
SECTION 3. TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION. Subject to
Section 10, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole
or in part, on the books of the Issuer to be maintained for such purpose, upon
surrender of this Warrant at the Issuer's Business Office, together with a
written assignment of this Warrant duly executed by the Holder or its agent or
attorney and payment of funds sufficient to pay any stock transfer taxes
payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and payment the
Issuer shall, subject to Section 10, 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 this Warrant shall promptly be
canceled. If and when this Warrant is assigned in blank (in case the
restrictions on transferability in Section 10 shall have been terminated), the
Issuer may (but shall not be obliged to) treat the bearer hereof as the
absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes and the Issuer shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary. This Warrant, if properly assigned in
compliance with this Section 3 and Section 10, may be exercised by an assignee
for the purchase of shares of Common Stock without having a new Warrant
issued.
This Warrant may, subject to Section 10, be divided or combined
with other Warrants upon presentation at the Issuer's Business Office of the
Issuer, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations
in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or
attorney. Subject to compliance with the preceding paragraph and with Section
10, as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination,
the Issuer shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for
the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such
notice.
The Issuer shall pay all expenses, taxes (except as provided in
Section 8) and other charges incurred by the Issuer in the performance of its
obligations in connection with the preparation, issue and delivery of Warrants
under this Section 3.
6
104
The Issuer agrees to maintain at the Issuer's Business Office
books for the registration and transfer of the Warrants.
SECTION 4. ADJUSTMENT OF STOCK UNIT OR EXERCISE PRICE. The
number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit, and the Exercise
Price per Stock Unit, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set
forth in this Section 4 and in Section 5. The Issuer shall not take any
action with respect to its Nonpreferred Stock of any class requiring an
adjustment pursuant to any of the following Subsections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.7
without at the same time taking like action with respect to its Nonpreferred
Stock of each other class; and the Issuer shall not create any class of
Nonpreferred Stock which carries any rights to dividends.
4.1. Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any
time or from time to time the Issuer shall:
(a) take a record of the holders of its Nonpreferred Stock for
the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other
distribution of, Nonpreferred Stock; or
(b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Nonpreferred Stock
into a larger number of shares of Nonpreferred Stock; or
(c) combine its outstanding shares of Nonpreferred Stock into
a smaller number of shares of Nonpreferred Stock;
then the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately
after the happening of any such event shall be adjusted so as to consist of
the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to the
happening of such event would own or be entitled to receive immediately after
the happening of such event.
4.2. Certain Other Dividends and Distributions. If at any time
or from time to time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its
Nonpreferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend
or other distribution of:
(a) cash (other than a cash distribution made as a dividend
and payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the
payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of
the Issuer, to the extent, but only to the extent, that the aggregate of all
such dividends paid or declared after the date hereof, does not exceed the
consolidated net income of the Issuer earned subsequent to the date hereof
determined in accordance with GAAP), or
(b) any evidence of its indebtedness (other than Convertible
Securities), any shares of its stock (other than Additional Shares of
Nonpreferred Stock) or any other securities or property of any nature
whatsoever (other than cash and other than Convertible Securities or
Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock), or
(c) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase
any evidences of its indebtedness (other than Convertible Securities), any
shares of its stock (other than Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock) or
any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash
that, if distributed, would give rise to an adjustment under Section 4.2(a))
and other than Convertible Securities or Additional Shares of Nonpreferred
Stock),
7
105
then the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter comprising a Stock Unit
shall be adjusted to that number determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to such
adjustment by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Current
Market Price per share of Common Stock at the date of taking such record, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price per share of
Common Stock at the date of taking such record minus the portion applicable to
one share of Nonpreferred Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the
fair value of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock,
other securities or property, or warrants or other subscription or purchase
rights, so distributable. Such fair value shall be determined in good faith
by the Board of Directors. A reclassification of the Nonpreferred Stock into
shares of Nonpreferred Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be
deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Nonpreferred Stock
of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this
Subsection 4.2 and, if the outstanding shares of Nonpreferred Stock shall be
changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Nonpreferred Stock as a
part of such reclassification, shall be deemed a subdivision or combination,
as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Nonpreferred Stock within the
meaning of Subsection 4.1.
4.3. Issuance of Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock. If
at any time or from time to time the Issuer shall (except as provided below)
issue, whether in connection with the merger of a corporation into the Issuer
or otherwise, any Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock for a consideration
per share less than the Current Market Price per share of such stock, then the
number of shares of Common Stock thereafter comprising a Stock Unit shall be
adjusted to be that number determined by multiplying the number of shares of
Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to such adjustment by a
fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of such
Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock so issued and (ii) the number of
shares of Nonpreferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance,
and (b) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of such
Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock that the aggregate consideration for
the total number of such shares of Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock
would purchase at the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock and (ii)
the number of shares of Nonpreferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such issuance. For purposes of this Subsection 4.3, the date as of which the
Current Market Price per share of Common Stock shall be computed shall be the
earlier of (i) the date on which the Issuer shall enter into a firm contract
for the issuance of such Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock, or (ii) the
date of actual issuance of such Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock. For
the purpose of calculations pursuant to this Section 4.3, Nonpreferred Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (as defined in the Investment
Agreement) or upon exercise or conversion of Convertible Securities, warrants,
options or other rights outstanding at the time of such calculation (computed
based on an assumed exercise or conversion as of the date as to which number
of outstanding shares of Nonpreferred Stock is so calculated) for which an
adjustment was required to be made, or it has been determined that no
adjustment was required to be made, pursuant to Subsection 4.4 or 4.5, shall
be deemed to be outstanding at the time of such calculation. The provisions
of this Subsection 4.3 shall not apply to any issuance of Additional Shares of
Nonpreferred Stock for which an adjustment is provided under Subsection 4.1.
No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit
shall be made under this Subsection 4.3 upon the issuance of any Additional
Shares of Nonpreferred Stock that are issued pursuant to the exercise of any
options, warrants or other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the
exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any Convertible Securities,
if any such adjustment shall previously have been made (or it was determined
that no adjustment was to be made at the time of issuance) upon the issuance
of such options, warrants or other rights or upon the issuance of such
Convertible Securities (or upon the issuance of any option, warrant or other
right therefor) pursuant to Subsection 4.4 or 4.5. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no adjustment shall be required pursuant to this Subsection 4.3,
(1) upon the issuance or conversion of the Preferred Shares (as such term is
defined in the Investment Agreement), (2) in connection with the issuance of
Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock upon the exercise or
8
106
conversion, in accordance with the terms thereof, of any warrants, options or
other rights to subscribe for or purchase such shares, or any Convertible
Securities, which were outstanding on October 11, 1996, or (3) in connection
with the issuance of no more than 2,000,000 (subject to appropriate adjustment
for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events) Additional Shares of
Nonpreferred Stock (in addition to those permitted in (2) immediately above)
in accordance with and pursuant to any employee benefit plan to which
employees, directors and/or consultants of the Issuer are entitled to
participate, which plan shall have been approved by the stockholders of the
Issuer.
4.4. Issuance of Warrants, Options or Other Rights. If at any
time or from time to time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its
Nonpreferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution
of, or shall otherwise issue, any warrants, options or other rights to
subscribe for or purchase any Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock or any
Convertible Securities and the consideration per share for which additional
shares of Nonpreferred Stock may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant
to such warrants, options or other rights or pursuant to the terms of such
Convertible Securities shall be less than the Current Market Price per share
of Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter
comprising a Stock Unit shall be adjusted as provided in Subsection 4.3 on the
basis that (i) the maximum number of Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock
issuable pursuant to all such warrants, options or other rights or necessary
to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall
be deemed to have been issued as of the date specified in the next following
sentence of this Subsection 4.4, (ii) the aggregate consideration for such
maximum number of Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock shall be deemed to
be the minimum consideration received and receivable by the Issuer for the
issuance of such Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock pursuant to such
warrants, options or other rights or pursuant to the terms of such Convertible
Securities and (iii) the consideration per share received by the Issuer for
such Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock shall be that number determined
by dividing (a) the aggregate consideration for such maximum number of
Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock (determined as set forth in clause
(ii) of this sentence) by (b) the maximum number of Additional Shares of
Nonpreferred Stock issuable pursuant to all such warrants, options or other
rights or necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities (determined as set forth in clause (i) of this
sentence). For purposes of this Subsection 4.4, the computation date for
clause (i) above and as of which the Current Market Price per share of Common
Stock shall be computed shall be the earliest of (x) the date on which the
Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Nonpreferred Stock for the
purpose of entitling them to receive any such warrants, options or other
rights, (y) the date on which the Issuer shall enter into a firm contract for
the issuance of such warrants, options or other rights (or, if such contract
specifies that the price will be determined as of a later date, then such
later date shall be used for purposes of this Subsection 4.5), and (z) the
date of actual issuance of such warrants, options or other rights.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be required pursuant to
this Subsection 4.4, (1) upon the issuance or conversion of the Preferred
Shares (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement), (2) in
connection with the issuance of Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock upon
the exercise or conversion, in accordance with the terms thereof, of any
warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such shares, or
any Convertible Securities, which were outstanding on October 11, 1996 and
described on Schedule 2.1(c) of the Investment Agreement, or (3) in connection
with the issuance of no more than 2,000,000 (subject to appropriate
adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events) Additional
Shares of Nonpreferred Stock (in addition to those permitted in (2)
immediately above) in accordance with and pursuant to any employee benefit
plan to which employees, directors and/or consultants of the Issuer are
entitled to participate, which plan shall have been approved by the
stockholders of the Issuer.
4.5. Issuance of Convertible Securities. (i) If at any time or
from time to time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its
Nonpreferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution
of, or shall otherwise issue, any Convertible Securities and the consideration
per
9
107
share for which Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock may at any time
thereafter be issuable pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities
shall be less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock, then
the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter comprising a Stock Unit shall
be adjusted as provided in Subsection 4.3 on the basis that (1) the maximum
number of Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock necessary to effect the
conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to
have been issued as of the computation date specified in clause (ii) of this
Subsection 4.5, (2) the aggregate consideration for such maximum number of
Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock shall be deemed to be the minimum
consideration received and receivable by the Issuer for the issuance of such
Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock pursuant to the terms of such
Convertible Securities and (3) the consideration per share received by the
Issuer for such Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock shall be that number
determined by dividing (a) the aggregate consideration for such maximum number
of Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock (determined as set forth in clause
(2) of this sentence) by (b) the maximum number of Additional Shares of
Nonpreferred Stock necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities (determined as set forth in clause (1) of this
sentence).
(ii) For purposes of this Subsection 4.5, the computation date
for Section 4.5(i) (1) above and as of which the Current Market Price per
share of Common Stock shall be computed shall be the earliest of (x) the date
on which the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Nonpreferred
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any such Convertible
securities, (y) the date on which the Issuer shall enter into a firm contract
for the issuance of such Convertible Securities (or, if such contract
specifies that the price will be determined as of a later date, then such
later date shall be used for purposes of this Subsection 4.5), and (z) the
date of actual issuance of such Convertible Securities; provided that with
respect to any Convertible Security for which the maximum number of Additional
Shares of Nonpreferred Stock necessary to effect the conversion of all such
Convertible Securities is not determinable at the time of issuance of such
Convertible Security, the computation date shall be the earlier of (a) the
actual date of conversion and (b) the date of exercise of this Warrant
assuming such Convertible Securities are converted on such date on the terms
thereof. No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a
Stock Unit shall be made under this Subsection 4.5 upon the issuance of any
Convertible Securities which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any
warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any such
adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants
or other rights pursuant to Subsection 4.4. Subject to Section 4.6(f), the
adjustments made in this Section 4 shall remain in effect regardless of
whether any Convertible Securities are converted or any warrants, options or
other rights to purchase Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock or
Convertible Securities are ever exercised.
4.6. Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under this
Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of
adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit
provided for above in this Section 4:
(a) Treasury Stock. The sale or other disposition of any
issued shares of Nonpreferred Stock owned or held by or for the account of the
Issuer shall be deemed an issuance thereof for purposes of this Section 4.
(b) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any
Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock or any Convertible Securities or any
warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Additional
Shares of Nonpreferred Stock or any Convertible Securities shall be issued for
cash consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefor shall be
deemed to be the amount of cash received by the Issuer therefor, or, if such
Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock or Convertible Securities are offered
by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional
Shares
10
108
of Nonpreferred Stock or Convertible Securities are sold to underwriters or
dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial
public offering price, in any such case excluding any amounts paid or
receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without deduction of
any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for and
in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issue thereof.
To the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than
solely for cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the
amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such
consideration at the time of such issuance as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Issuer. The consideration for any Additional Shares
of Nonpreferred Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants, options or other
rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration
received or receivable by the Issuer for issuing such warrants, options or
other rights, plus the additional consideration payable to the Issuer upon the
exercise of such warrants, options or other rights. The consideration for any
Additional Shares of Nonpreferred Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any
Convertible Securities shall be the consideration received or receivable by
the Issuer for issuing any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for
or purchase such Convertible Securities, plus the consideration paid or
payable to the Issuer in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such
Convertible Securities, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to
the Issuer upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such
Convertible Securities. In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional
Shares of Nonpreferred Stock or Convertible Securities in payment or
satisfaction of any dividend upon any class of stock other than Nonpreferred
Stock, the Issuer shall be deemed to have received for such Additional Shares
of Nonpreferred Stock or Convertible Securities a consideration equal to the
amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied.
(c) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by
the preceding Subsections of this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as
often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that
no adjustment shall be made except pursuant to Subsection 4.1 if it would
decrease the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit
immediately prior to such adjustment. For the purpose of any adjustment, any
specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on
the date of its occurrence.
(d) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this
Section, fractional interests in Nonpreferred Stock shall be taken into
account to the nearest one-thousandth of a share.
(e) When Adjustments Not Required. (i) If the Issuer shall
take a record of the holders of its Nonpreferred Stock for the purpose of
entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or
purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution thereof to
stockholders, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend,
distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment
shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such
adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
(ii) No adjustment shall be made for any warrant, option or
right granted or adjustment made to any other warrant, option or right which
grant or adjustment is triggered solely by an adjustment or exercise of this
Warrant.
(iii) No adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock
comprising a Stock Unit or the Exercise Price shall be required by this
Section 4 if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments
required by this Section 4 and not previously made would require an increase
or decrease of less than 1% in such number or price. Any adjustment
representing a change of less than such minimum amount that is so postponed
shall be carried forward and made when such adjustment, together with other
adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result
in an adjustment of 1% or greater of such amount or price.
11
109
(f) When Readjustments Made. The number of shares of Common
Stock comprising a Stock Unit that may be purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be readjusted to reflect the expiration of any warrants, options
or other rights, except where no adjustment of the number of shares of Common
Stock comprising a Stock Unit had previously been made with respect to such
expired warrant, option or right.
4.7. Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In the
event the Issuer (1) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and
shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or
merger, or (2) shall permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into
the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in
connection with such consolidation or merger, the Nonpreferred Stock shall be
changed into or exchanged for other securities of any other Person or cash or
any other property, or (3) shall transfer all or substantially all of its
properties or assets to any other Person, or (4) shall effect a capital
reorganization or reclassification of the Nonpreferred Stock, then, and in
each such event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and
the terms and in the manner provided in this Subsection 4.7, the Holder shall
have the right, at the Holder's option, to receive either (i) a reduction of
the Exercise Price equal to the amount applicable to the number of shares of
Common Stock then comprising a Stock Unit of any such cash and of the fair
value of any and all such shares of stock or of other securities or property
to be received by or distributed to the holders of Nonpreferred Stock of the
Company, or (ii), upon the conversion of all or any part of this Warrant at
any time after the consummation of such consolidation, merger, transfer,
reorganization or reclassification, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion prior to such consummation, the other securities, cash and
property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation
if such Holder had converted the Warrant immediately prior to such
consummation, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such action) as nearly
equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4;
provided that option (i) shall be available upon the occurrence of any such
event only if the holders of Nonpreferred Stock prior to such event continue
to hold Nonpreferred Stock upon the occurrence of such event. Such fair value
and such adjustments shall be determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company. Anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Issuer will not effect any of the transactions described
in clauses (1) through (4) above unless, prior to the consummation of such
transaction, each other Person (other than the Issuer) that may be required to
deliver any securities, cash or property upon the conversion of the Warrant
shall assume, by written instrument delivered to the Holder, the obligation to
deliver to the Holder such Common Stock, securities, cash or property as the
Holder may be entitled to receive upon such conversion.
The foregoing provisions of this Subsection 4.7 shall similarly
apply to successive mergers, consolidations or dispositions. In addition to
any other requirements under this Subsection 4.7, the Issuer shall give notice
to the Holder of this Warrant of any merger, consolidation or disposition at
least thirty (30) days before the occurrence of such merger, consolidation or
disposition.
4.8. Other Action Affecting Nonpreferred Stock. In case at any
time or from time to time the Issuer shall take any action affecting its
Nonpreferred Stock, other than an action described in any of the foregoing
Subsections 4.1 to 4.8, inclusive, then, unless in the opinion of the Holder
such action will not have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the
Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit shall be
adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Issuer and the holders of
warrants exercisable for a majority of the Stock Units then issuable upon the
exercise of all warrants issued to the Investors (as defined in the Investment
Agreement) may in good faith agree to be equitable in the circumstances. If
the Issuer and such holders cannot agree upon a manner of adjustment, such
adjustment will be made in the manner determined by the Board of Directors in
good faith.

SECTION 5. NOTICE TO WARRANT HOLDERS.
5.1. Notice of Adjustment of Stock Unit or Exercise Price.
Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit, or the
price at which a Stock Unit may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants,
shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4, the Issuer shall obtain a certificate
signed by Coopers and Xxxxxxx, another "Big Six" accounting firm or
independent accountants selected by the Issuer and acceptable to the holders
of warrants exercisable for a majority of the Stock Units then issuable upon
the exercise of all warrants issued to the Investors (as defined in the
Investment Agreement), setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event
requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was
calculated (including a statement of the fair value, as determined by the
Board of Directors of the Issuer or by appraisal (if applicable), of any
evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or
warrants or other subscription or purchase rights referred to in Section 4.2,
Section 4.6(b) or Section 4.7) and specifying the number of shares of Common
Stock comprising a Stock Unit and (if such adjustment was made pursuant to
Section 4.7) describing the number and kind of any other shares of stock
comprising a Stock Unit, and any change in the purchase price or prices
thereof, after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Issuer shall
promptly, and in any case within 10 Business Days after the making of such
adjustment, cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to each
holder of a Warrant in accordance with Section 16. The Issuer shall keep at
the Issuer's Business Office copies of all such certificates and cause the
same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business
hours by the Holder or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by
the Holder.
5.2. Notice of Certain Corporate Action. If the Issuer shall
propose (a) to pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders
of its Nonpreferred Stock or to make any other distribution to the holders of
its Nonpreferred Stock (other than a cash dividend for which no adjustment is
required under Section 4.2), or (b) to offer to the holders of its
Nonpreferred Stock rights to subscribe for or to purchase any Additional
Shares of Nonpreferred Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other
securities, rights or options, or (c) to effect any reclassification of its
Nonpreferred Stock (other than a reclassification involving only the
subdivision, or combination, of outstanding shares of Nonpreferred Stock), or
(d) to effect any capital reorganization, or (e) to effect any consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its
property, assets or business, or (f) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Issuer, then in each such case, the Issuer shall deliver to
each holder of a Warrant, in accordance with Section 16, a notice of such
proposed action, which shall specify the date on which a record is to be taken
for the purposes of such stock dividend, distribution or rights, or the date
on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer, disposition, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is to take place
and the date of participation therein by the holders of Nonpreferred Stock, if
any such date is to be fixed, and shall also set forth such facts with respect
thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action
on the Common Stock and the number and kind of any other shares of stock which
will comprise a Stock Unit, and the purchase price or prices thereof, after
giving effect to any adjustment which will be required as a result of such
action. Such notice shall be so delivered in the case of any action covered
by clause (a) or (b) above at least ten (10) days prior to the record date for
determining holders of the Nonpreferred Stock for purposes of such action, and
in the case of any other such action, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation
therein by the holders of Nonpreferred Stock, whichever shall be the earlier.
5.3. Notice of Expiration Date. The Issuer shall deliver to
each holder of a Warrant notice of the Expiration Date. Such notice may be
delivered by the Issuer not less than thirty (30) days but not more than sixty
(60) days prior to the then existing Expiration Date. Failure to timely
deliver such notice shall extend the Expiration Date to a date that is the
later of (i) the Expiration Date or (ii) the date occurring thirty days after
the date such notice is delivered.
13
111
SECTION 6. RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF COMMON STOCK. The
Issuer shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
exercise of this Warrant and all warrants issued to the Investors (as defined
in the Investment Agreement) and the conversion of the Preferred Shares (as
defined in the Investment Agreement), at least such number that is the greater
of (x) 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment
for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events) and (y) 1.5 times the
number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient
to effect the exercise of all outstanding Warrants and all warrants issued to
the Investors (as defined in the Investment Agreement) and the conversion of
the Preferred Shares (as defined in the Investment Agreement). All shares of
Common Stock which shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant or upon such
conversion, as the case may be, shall be duly and validly issued and
fully-paid and nonassessable.
Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment
reducing the Current Warrant Price per share of Common Stock below the then
par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants, the Issuer shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion
of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally
issue fully-paid and nonassessable shares of ordinary Common Stock at such
adjusted Current Warrant Price.
Before taking any action that would result in an adjustment in
the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit or in the Current
Warrant Price per share of Common Stock, the Issuer shall obtain all such
authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary
from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
SECTION 7. TAKING OF RECORD; STOCK AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS.
In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Issuer to the
holders of its Nonpreferred Stock with respect to which any provision of
Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Issuer will in
each such case take such a record as of the close of business on a Business
Day. The Issuer will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or
winding up, close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to
result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.
SECTION 8. TRANSFER TAXES. The Issuer will pay any and all
transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of
shares of Common Stock on exercise of this Warrant. The Issuer shall not,
however, be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a
name other than that in which this warrant is registered, and no such issue or
delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has
paid to the Issuer the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the
satisfaction of the Issuer, that such tax has been paid.
SECTION 9. NO VOTING RIGHTS. Except as expressly provided in
this Warrant, this Warrant shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting
rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Issuer.
SECTION 10. RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE AND TRANSFERABILITY. The
Restricted Securities shall not be transferable except upon the conditions
specified in this Section 10; provided that, notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Section 10, the Holder (and each other person mentioned
below in this clause) shall have the right to transfer any Restricted
Securities to any Affiliate of such Holder, in each case free of the
restrictions on transfer imposed by this Section 10 other than the requirement
as to the legending of the certificates for such Restricted Securities
specified in Section 10.1. Each such transferee shall be subject to the same
transfer restrictions imposed on the Warrant holder by this Agreement. The
Warrant Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act or registered
or qualified under the securities laws of any state, and this Warrant may not
be exercised unless the exercise
14
112
of the Warrant does not require registration or qualification under state or
federal securities laws or unless the transaction is registered or qualified
as required. No holder of this Warrant that did not purchase this Warrant
directly from the Issuer shall be permitted to exercise this Warrant unless
such holder shall provide, if requested by the Issuer, an opinion of counsel
to such holder (in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer and its
counsel) to the effect that such exercise may be accomplished without such
registration or qualification or that such registration or qualification has
occurred.
10.1. Restrictive Legend. Unless and until otherwise
permitted by this Section 10, each certificate for Warrants issued under this
Agreement, each certificate for any Warrants issued to any subsequent
transferee of any such certificate, each certificate for any Warrant Stock
issued upon exercise of any Warrant and each certificate for any Warrant Stock
issued to any subsequent transferee of any such certificate, shall be stamped
or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR REGISTERED OR
QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED
FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED
UNLESS THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION
UNDER FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION IS
REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED AS REQUIRED.
In addition, each certificate for Warrants issued under this
Agreement and each certificate for any Warrants issued to any subsequent
transferee of any such certificate shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted
with a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR REGISTERED OR
QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
In addition, each certificate for Warrants issued to any
subsequent transferee of any such certificate shall be stamped or otherwise
imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
THIS WARRANT MAY NOT BE EXERCISED UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION DOES
NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES
LAWS, OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED AS REQUIRED.
The Issuer agrees to issue any shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of Warrants without any legend that indicates a restriction on
transferability at such times as (i) the holder thereof is permitted to
dispose of such shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the
Securities Act, (ii) such shares of Common Stock are sold to a purchaser or
purchasers who in the opinion of counsel to the seller or such purchaser, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and its counsel) are
able to dispose of such shares publicly without registration under the
Securities Act, or (iii) such shares of Common Stock are registered under the
Securities Act; provided in the case of (iii), that the holder of such shares
of Common Stock or the recipient upon such conversion or exercise represents
to the Issuer that such holder will only sell such shares, if at all, pursuant
to the plan of distribution described in an effective registration statement.
10.2. Proposed Transfers. No transfer of any Restricted
Securities, other than a transfer covered by the proviso contained in the
introductory paragraph to this Section 10, may be made unless the proposed
transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act, or unless the
proposed transfer
15
113
is registered as required. The Issuer may require an opinion of counsel of
such transferring holder (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to
the Issuer) to the effect that such proposed transfer may be effected without
registration under the Securities Act. Each certificate evidencing the
Restricted Securities thus to be transferred (and each certificate evidencing
any untransferred balance of the Restricted Securities evidenced by such
Restricted Certificate) shall bear the restrictive legend set forth in
Subsection 10.1, unless in the opinion of the Issuer or the opinion of such
counsel, if requested, pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, such
legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act.
10.3. Demand Registration. Subject to the limitations
contained in Section 10.7, at any time after the earlier of the date that is
(i) six months after the Qualifying Offering (as defined in the Investment
Agreement) or (ii) October 16, 1997 if the Qualifying Offering has not
occurred by such date, the Issuer shall be requested by holders of warrants
exercisable for a majority of the Stock Units then issuable upon the exercise
of all warrants issued to the Investors (as defined in the Investment
Agreement) to effect the registration of any of its Restricted Securities
under the Securities Act, the Issuer shall promptly give written notice of
such proposed registration to all holders of outstanding Restricted Securities
and thereupon shall, as expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to
effect the registration under the Securities Act by filing pursuant to Rule
415 of the Securities Act a "shelf" registration statement on Form S-3 (or, if
the staff at the SEC takes the position that Form S-3 is not available and
holders of warrants exercisable for a majority of the Stock Units then
issuable upon the exercise of all warrants issued to the Investors so request,
on Form S-1) covering all Restricted Securities, the holder or holders of
which shall have made written request to the Issuer for registration thereof
within 30 days after the giving of such written notice by the Issuer, all to
the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended
methods thereof, as aforesaid) by the prospective Seller or Sellers of the
Restricted Securities so registered; provided, that if Form S-3 is not
available, the Issuer shall notify the holders of warrants in writing of such
fact, which notice shall set forth the reasons therefor and the holders' right
to request registration on Form S-1. Any registration statement filed on Form
S-1 shall be maintained by the Issuer for a period of 45 continuous days and,
if not so maintained shall not be deemed to count against the number of
effective registration statements pursuant to this Section 10.3 permitted to
be made by holders pursuant to Section 10.7. Upon the Issuer's request, the
holder or holders making a request for registration shall promptly provide the
Issuer with description of the intended method of disposition of such
securities by the prospective Seller or Sellers. Sellers holding warrants
exercisable for a majority of the Stock Units then issuable upon the exercise
of all warrants issued to investors subject to such registration shall have
the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters for the offering
of such Restricted Securities.
In the case of an underwritten public offering of Restricted
Securities to be so registered, if the managing underwriter advises that the
number of securities to be so registered is too large a number to be
reasonably sold, the number of such securities sought to be registered by each
Seller shall be reduced, pro rata in proportion to the number of securities
sought to be registered by all Sellers, to the extent necessary to reduce the
number of securities to be registered to the number recommended by the
managing underwriter.
From and after the date of this Agreement, the Issuer shall
not, nor shall it allow the holders of any securities of the Issuer to,
include any of their securities in any registration statement filed by the
Issuer pursuant to this Section 10 unless such inclusion will not reduce the
amount of the Restricted Stock included therein.
10.4. Piggyback Registration. If the Issuer at any time
proposes to register any shares of Common Stock or warrants to purchase Common
Stock under the Securities Act on Form X-0, X-0 or
16
114
S-3 or the equivalent (otherwise than pursuant to Subsection 10.3), whether of
its own accord or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities,
it shall each such time give written notice to all holders of outstanding
Restricted Securities of its intention so to do.
Upon the written request of a holder or holders of any such
Restricted Securities given within 30 days after receipt of any such notice,
the Issuer shall use its best efforts to cause all Restricted Securities, the
holder or holders of which shall have so requested registration thereof, to be
registered under the Securities Act pursuant to such registration statement,
all to the extent required to permit the sale or other disposition (in
accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) by the prospective
Seller or Sellers of the Restricted Securities so registered; provided,
however, that the Issuer shall not be obligated to include any Restricted
Securities in the registration statement with respect to the Qualifying
Offering (as defined in the Investment Agreement). Upon the Issuer's request,
the holder or holders making a request for registration shall promptly provide
the Issuer with a description of the intended method of disposition of such
securities by the prospective Seller or Sellers.
If the managing underwriter for the respective offering advises
the Issuer in writing that the inclusion in such registration of some or all
of the Restricted Securities sought to be registered by the Seller or Sellers
in its opinion shall cause the proceeds or the price per unit the Issuer or
the requesting or demanding holder of securities shall derive from such
registration to be reduced or that the number of securities to be registered
at the instance of the Issuer or such requesting or demanding holder plus the
number of securities sought to be registered by the Sellers is too large a
number to be reasonably sold, the number of shares of Restricted Securities
shall be reduced pro rata, along with the securities sought to be registered
by any other holder or holders of Common Stock (other than any holder
exercising a demand registration right), to the extent necessary to reduce the
number of securities to be registered to the number recommended by the
managing underwriter.
The Issuer shall not grant to any Person at any time on or
after the Effective Date a "piggyback" right to request the Issuer to register
any securities of the Issuer under the Securities Act unless such right
provides that if the managing underwriter for the respective Sellers believes
that sale of such securities would adversely affect the amount of, or price at
which, the respective Restricted Securities being registered under this
Section 10.4 can be sold, then, the amount of such securities that may be
registered and sold shall be reduced pro rata with the Restricted Securities
in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph.
In the case of an underwritten public offering of Common Stock
by the Company, each Seller, if requested by the managing underwriter, shall
agree to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 10.4 only through
participation in such underwritten public offering.
10.5. Registration Procedures. (a) If and whenever the
Issuer is required by the provisions of this Section 10 to use its best
efforts to effect the registration of any of the Restricted Securities under
the Securities Act, the Issuer shall (except as otherwise provided in this
Warrant), as expeditiously as possible:
(i) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
with respect to such Warrant Stock and use its best efforts to cause such
registration to become effective as provided in Subsection 10.3 or 10.4, and
upon the request of any holder of Warrant Stock keep such registration
statement effective for so long as any holder of Restricted Securities desires
to dispose of the securities covered by such registration statement (or, in
the case of a filing on Form S-1, 45 continuous days), or, if earlier, until
such Warrant Stock may be sold under Rule 144(k) (provided that the Issuer's
transfer agent has accepted an instruction from the Issuer to such effect).
The Issuer may suspend or delay the effectiveness of a
17
115
registration statement with respect to such Warrant Stock or the use of any
prospectus used in connection with any such registration effected pursuant to
this subsection (i) only in the event, and for such period of time (not to
exceed 90 cumulative aggregate days in any 12 month-period) as, such a
suspension as the Issuer concludes in its reasonable judgment is required by
applicable securities laws or the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Issuer shall use its best efforts to cause such
suspension to terminate at the earliest possible date; provided that the
Issuer shall be permitted to maintain such suspension if, and only for so long
as, the Board of Directors of the Issuer shall, in good faith, determine that
failure to maintain such suspension is reasonably likely to be seriously
detrimental (excluding detriment resulting from the price of the Common Stock
or the exercise of this Warrant) to the Issuer or would interfere with a
material transaction that the Issuer is then contemplating.
(ii) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with
the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement and notify the holders of
Restricted Securities of the filing and effectiveness of such registration
statement and any amendments or supplements.
(iii) Furnish to each holder of Restricted Securities such
numbers of copies of a current prospectus conforming with the requirements of
the Securities Act, copies of the registration statement, any amendment or
supplement thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein and
such other documents as such holder of Restricted Securities may reasonably
require in order to facilitate the disposition of Warrant Stock owned by such
holder of Restricted Securities.
(iv) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities
or "Blue Sky" laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by
the holder of Restricted Securities, provided that the Issuer shall not be
required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do
business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states
or jurisdictions.
(v) Notify each holder of Restricted Securities immediately of
the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in
such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
of material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances then existing, and use its best efforts promptly to update
and/or correct such prospectus.
(vi) In connection with an underwritten offering, furnish, at
the request of any holder of Restricted Securities, (1) an opinion of counsel
of the Issuer, dated the closing date of the offering statement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to such holder and its counsel and covering,
without limitation, such matters as the due authorization and issuance of the
securities being registered and compliance with securities laws by the Issuer
in connection with the authorization, issuance and registration thereof, and
(2) if such registration is made in connection with an underwritten public
offering, a letter or letters of the Issuer's independent public accountants
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holder, such holder's
lead underwriter and their respective counsel.
(vii) Use its best efforts to list the Warrant Stock covered
by such registration statement with any securities exchange or market on which
the Common Stock is then listed.
(viii) Make available for inspection by the holder of
Restricted Securities, upon request, all reports, schedules, forms, statements
and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to
reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
including
18
116
material filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) and filed subsequent to the
Effective Date and require the Issuer's officers, directors and employees to
supply all information reasonably requested by any holder of Restricted
Securities in connection with such registration statement.
(ix) Permit an offering made pursuant to a registration made
at the request of requisite holders under Section 10.3 to be underwritten by
an underwriter of recognized national standing and enter into such agreements
with such underwriter (including agreements to indemnify) and cause delivery
of such legal opinions and letters of independent public accountants as is
customary in underwritten public offerings in accordance with clause (vi), in
each case, at the Issuer's expense.
(b) Each Seller will furnish to the Issuer in connection with
any registration under this Section 10 such information regarding itself, the
Restricted Stock and other securities of the Issuer held by it, and the
intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably
required to effect the registration of the Restricted Stock held by such
Seller. The intended method of disposition (Plan of Distribution) of such
securities as so provided by any such holder shall be included without
alteration in the registration statement covering the Restricted Stock and
shall not be changed without the written consent of such holder.
10.6. Indemnification. (a) The Issuer shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless each Seller and each of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, partners or controlling persons (within the meaning of the
Act) (each, a "Holder Indemnified Party") from and against, and shall
reimburse such Holder Indemnified Party with respect to, any and all claims,
suits, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or
expenses ("Liabilities") to which such Holder Indemnified Party may become
subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, arising from or relating to
(A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in such registration statement, any prospectus contained therein or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were
made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be liable
with respect to any Seller in any such case to the extent that any such
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission so
made in such registration statement, prospectus or amendment or supplement
thereto in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information
furnished in an instrument duly executed by such Seller specifically for use
in the registration statement; provided further, that the Issuer shall not be
liable with respect to any Seller in any such case to the extent that any such
Liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission made
in any preliminary prospectus if (i) such Seller under an obligation to send
or deliver a copy of the prospectus with or prior to the delivery of written
confirmation of the sale of Restricted Stock to the person asserting such
Liability who purchased such Restricted Stock that are the subject thereof
from such Seller failed to do so and (ii) the prospectus would have completely
corrected such untrue statement or omission and if, having previously been
furnished by or on behalf of the Issuer with copies of the prospectus so
correcting such untrue statement or omission and having been obligated to
deliver such prospectus, such Seller thereafter failed to deliver such
prospectus prior to or concurrently with the sale of Restricted Stock to the
person asserting such Liability who purchased such Restricted Stock that is
the subject thereof from such Seller; and provided further, that the Issuer
shall not be liable with respect to any Seller in any such case to the extent
that any Liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in the prospectus, if
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged
omission is completely corrected in an amendment or supplement to the
prospectus and if, having previously been furnished by or on behalf of the
Issuer with copies of the prospectuses so amended or supplemented and having
been obligated to deliver such prospectuses, such Seller thereafter failed to
deliver such prospectus as so amended or supplemented, prior to or
concurrently
19
117
with the sale of Restricted Stock to the person asserting such Liability who
purchased such Restricted Stock that is the subject thereof from such Seller.
(b) In the event of any registration under the Securities Act
of Restricted Stock pursuant to Section 10, each Seller hereby severally
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, and its officers,
directors, employees, agents, partners or controlling persons (within the
meaning of the Act) (each, an "Issuer Indemnified Party") from and against,
and shall reimburse such the Issuer Indemnified Party with respect to, any and
all Liabilities to which such the Issuer Indemnified Party may become subject
under the Securities Act or otherwise, arising from or relating to (A) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
such registration statement, any prospectus contained therein or any amendment
or supplement thereto, or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading; provided, that such holders will be liable in any such case to the
extent, and only to the extent, that any such liability arises out of or is
based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission so made in such registration statement, prospectus or
amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in strict conformity with
written information furnished in an instrument duly executed by such holder
specifically for use in the preparation thereof; provided further that in no
case shall any such holder be liable in any such case in an amount in excess
of the net proceeds received by such holder upon the sale of Restricted Stock
pursuant to such registration statement, prospectus or amendment or supplement
thereto.
(c) (i) Promptly after receipt by any Holder Indemnified
Party of notice of the commencement of any action, such Holder Indemnified
Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Issuer
hereunder, notify the Issuer in writing thereof but the omission so to notify
the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer from any Liability that it may have to
the Holder Indemnified Party other than under this section and shall only
relieve it from any Liability that it may have to the Holder Indemnified Party
under this section if and to the extent the Issuer is actually prejudiced by
such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any Holder
Indemnified Party and such Holder Indemnified Party shall notify the Issuer of
the commencement thereof, the Issuer shall be entitled to participate in and,
to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Holder Indemnified Party, and, after
notice from such Seller to the Holder Indemnified Party of its election so to
assume and undertake the defense such Seller shall not be liable to the Holder
Indemnified Party under this section for any legal expenses subsequently
incurred by the Holder Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with
counsel so selected; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such
action include both the Issuer and such Holder Indemnified Party and the
Holder Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
reasonable defenses available to it that are different from or additional to
those available to the Issuer or if the interests of the Holder Indemnified
Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Issuer,
the Holder Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel
and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense
of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel
and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed
by the Issuer as incurred. In clarification of the foregoing, the Issuer
shall pay the reasonable expenses and fees of one separate counsel whose
selection is approved by the largest group of similarly situated Holder
Indemnified Parties as measured by the aggregate par value of such Restricted
Stock owned by such group. Any Holder Indemnified Party who chooses not to be
represented by the foregoing separate counsel shall be entitled, at its own
expense, to be represented by counsel of its own selection.
(ii) Promptly after receipt by any Issuer Indemnified Party of
notice of the commencement of any action, such Issuer Indemnified Party shall,
if a claim in respect thereof is to be
20
118
made against any Seller hereunder, notify such Seller in writing thereof but
the omission so to notify such Seller shall not relieve such Seller from any
Liability that it may have to the Issuer Indemnified Party other than under
this section and shall only relieve it from any Liability that it may have to
the Issuer Indemnified Party under this section if and to the extent such
Seller is actually prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall
be brought against any Issuer Indemnified Party and such Issuer Indemnified
Party shall notify Seller of the commencement thereof, such Seller shall be
entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and
undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Issuer Indemnified Party, and, after notice from such Seller to the Issuer
Indemnified Party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense such
Seller shall not be liable to the Issuer Indemnified Party under this section
for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Issuer Indemnified Party
in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however, that
if the defendants in any such action include both the Sellers and such Issuer
Indemnified Party and the Issuer Indemnified Party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it that are
different from or additional to those available to the Sellers or if the
interests of the Issuer Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict
with the interests of the Sellers, the Issuer Indemnified Party together with
all other defendant Issuer Indemnified Parties shall have the right to select
one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to
participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and
fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such
participation to be reimbursed by such Sellers as incurred.
10.7. Expenses; Limitations on Registration. (a) With
respect to the inclusion of Restricted Stock in a registration statement
pursuant to Section 10, all fees, costs and expenses of and incidental to such
registration, inclusion and public offering shall be borne by the Issuer;
provided, however, that any securityholders participating in such registration
shall bear their pro-rata share of the underwriting discounts and commissions,
if any, incurred by them in connection with such registration.
(b) The fees, costs and expenses of registration to be borne
by the Issuer as provided in this Section 10 shall include, without
limitation, all registration, filing and NASD fees, listing fees, printing
expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for the Issuer,
and all legal fees and disbursements and other expenses of complying with
state securities or Blue Sky laws of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions in
which securities to be offered are to be registered and qualified. Subject to
appropriate agreements as to confidentiality, the Issuer shall make available
to counsel for the Sellers its documents and personnel for due diligence
purposes. Except as otherwise provided herein, fees and disbursements of
counsel and accountants for the selling securityholders shall be borne by the
respective selling securityholders.
(c) The holders of all Restricted Securities shall be entitled
to an aggregate of two (2) effective registrations pursuant to requests made
under Section 10.3 and an unlimited number of registrations pursuant to
requests made under Section 10.4; provided that any such registration request
made by the requisite number of holders which request shall be withdrawn
(other than by reason of the Company's failure to perform its obligations
hereunder) by the holders of a majority in number of shares evidenced or
covered by the Restricted Securities sought to be so registered, after the
respective registration statement shall have become effective, shall be
treated as an "effective" registration for purposes of this Warrant.
(d) Notwithstanding the rights of the holders pursuant to
Sections 10.3 and 10.4, the Issuer shall have no obligation to effect a
registration for any securities that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule
144(k) under the Securities Act, provided that the Issuer's transfer agent has
accepted an
21
119
instruction from the Company specifying that such securities are eligible for
sale without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k).
SECTION 11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. No provision hereof, in
the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase shares of Warrant
Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the
Holder, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the purchase price
of the Warrant Stock or as a stockholder of the Issuer, whether such liability
is asserted by the Issuer or by creditors of the Issuer.
SECTION 12. LOSS, DESTRUCTION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. Upon
receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer
(the original Warrant holder's or any other institutional Warrant holder's
indemnity being satisfactory indemnity in the event of loss, theft or
destruction of any Warrant owned by such original or institutional holder),
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of
such Warrant, the Issuer shall make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing
the right to purchase the same aggregate number of shares of Common Stock.
SECTION 13. FURNISH INFORMATION. The Issuer agrees that it
shall deliver to the Holder promptly after their becoming available copies of
all financial statements, reports and proxy statements that the Issuer shall
have sent to its stockholders generally.
SECTION 14. AMENDMENTS; LIKE TREATMENT OF HOLDERS OF WARRANTS.
The terms of this Warrant and all other warrants issued to Investors (as
defined in the Investment Agreement) may be amended, and the observance of any
term therein may be waived, but only with the written consent of the holders
of warrants evidencing a majority in number of the total number of Stock Units
at the time purchasable upon the exercise of all then outstanding warrants
issued to Investors, provided that no such action may change the number of
shares of stock comprising a Stock Unit or the Exercise Price, without the
written consent of the holders of warrants evidencing 100% in number of the
total number of Stock Units at the time purchasable upon the exercise of all
then outstanding warrants. For the purposes of determining whether the
holders of outstanding warrants issued to Investors entitled to purchase a
requisite number of Stock Units at any time have taken any action authorized
by this Warrant, any warrants owned by the Issuer or any Affiliate of the
Issuer (other than an institutional investor which may be deemed an Affiliate
solely by reason of the ownership of warrants) shall be deemed not to be
outstanding. Neither the Issuer nor any of its subsidiaries shall, directly
or indirectly, pay or cause to the paid any consideration, whether by way of
interest, fee or otherwise, to any holder of warrants issued to Investors for,
or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any terms or
provisions of such warrants issued to Investors unless such consideration is
offered to be paid to or agreed to be paid to all such holders which so
consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation
documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. Neither the Issuer
nor any of its subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, redeem or
repurchase any warrants issued to Investors unless such offer of redemption or
repurchase is made pro rata to all holders of such warrants on identical
terms.
SECTION 15. OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. So long as this Warrant
remains outstanding, the Issuer shall maintain an office in the City of New
York where this Warrant may be presented for exercise, transfer, division or
combination as provided in this Warrant. Such office shall be at
[____________________________________________________________________________],
Attention: [__________], unless and until the Issuer shall designate and
maintain some other office for such purposes and deliver written notice thereof
to the holders of all outstanding Warrants.

of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a
waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement, nor
shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right under this
Agreement in any manner impair the exercise of any such right accruing to it
after such waiver. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided in
this Warrant are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers
and privileges provided by law.
SECTION 20. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE AND COUNSEL FEES. The Issuer

law, and if the rights or obligations of any party under this Agreement will
