A. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. Subject to the following conditions precedent and the
provisions of Section H hereof, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in
part at any time or from time to time on or after October 15, 1999, and
before 5:00 P.M. New York Time on December 31, 2000, or, if either such day

for the number of shares specified in such form. If this Warrant should be
exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for
cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the
Holder hereof to purchase the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder. Upon
receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its office, or by the Warrant Agent
of the Company at its office, in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be
deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company
shall then be closed or that certificate representing such shares of Common
Stock shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder.
B. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there
shall be reserved for issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of this Warrant
such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance
of delivery upon exercise of this Warrant.
C. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to
any fraction of a share called for upon exercise hereof, the Company shall
issue to the Holder the next whole share.
D. EXCHANGE, ASSIGNMENT OR LOSS OF WARRANT. This Warrant is exchangeable,
without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and
surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of the Warrant Agent for
other Warrants of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to
purchase in aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder. The term Warrant as used herein includes any Warrants into which
this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or
mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction)
of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will execute and
deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new warrant executed
and delivered shall constitute an additional contractual obligation on the
part of the Company, whether or not this Warrant so lost stolen, destroyed,
or mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
E. RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue here of, be entitled
to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and
the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in the Warrant and
are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth
herein.
F. STOCK DIVIDENDS, RECLASSIFICATION, REORGANIZATION, ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS,
ETC. This Warrant is subject to the following further provisions:
2
3
1. In case, prior to the expiration of this Warrant by exercise or by its
terms, the Company shall issue any shares of its Common Stock as a stock
dividend or subdivide the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares, then, in either of such cases, the
Exercise Price per share of the Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to
this Warrant in effect at the time of such action shall be
proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares at that time
purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be proportionately increased;
and conversely, in the event the Company shall contract the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock by combining such shares into a
smaller number of shares, then, in such case, the Exercise Price per
share of the Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant in
effect at the time of such action shall be proportionately increased and
the number of Warrant Shares at that time purchasable pursuant to this
Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Provided however, the maximum
Exercise Price shall not exceed $10.00 and the corresponding minimum
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise hereof shall equal the
number determined by multiplying the initial number of Warrant Shares
which could be obtained upon exercise by $2.50 and dividing the product
so obtained by $10.00. Any dividend paid or distributed upon the Common
Stock in stock of any other class of securities convertible into shares
of Common Stock shall be treated as a dividend paid in Common Stock to
the extent that shares of Common Stock are issuable upon the conversion
thereof.
2. In case, prior to the expiration of this Warrant by exercise or by its
terms, the Company shall be recapitalized by reclassifying its
outstanding Common Stock, $.001 par value, into stock with a different
par value or by changing its outstanding Common Stock with par value to
stock without par, the Company or a successor corporation shall be
consolidated or merge with or convey all or substantially all of its or
of any successor corporation's property and assets to any other
corporation or corporations (any such corporation being included within
the meaning of the term successor corporation in the event of any
consolidation or merger of any such corporation with, or the sale of all
or substantially all of the property of any such corporation to, another
corporation or corporations), in exchange for stock or securities of a
successor corporation, the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter have
the right to purchase upon the terms and conditions and during the time
specified in this Warrant, in lieu of the Warrant Shares theretofore
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities receivable upon such
recapitalization or consolidation, merger or conveyance by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder of this Warrant
might have purchased immediately prior to such recapitalization or
consolidation, merger or conveyance.
3. Upon the occurrence of each event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise
Price and of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such adjusted
Exercise Price
3
4
by reason of such event in accordance with the provisions of this Section
F, the Company shall compute the adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted
number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such adjusted Exercise Price by
reason of such event in accordance with the provisions of this Section F
and shall prepare a certificate setting forth such adjusted Exercise
Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares and showing in detail the
facts upon which such conclusions are based. The Company shall mail
forthwith to each holder of this Warrant a copy of such certificate, and
thereafter said certificate shall be conclusive and shall be binding upon
such holder unless contested by such holder by written notice to the
Company within thirty (30) days after receipt of the certificate by such
holder.
4. In case:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or any other
distribution in respect of the Common Stock (including cash),
pursuant to without limitation, any spin-off, split-off or
distribution of the Company's assets; or
(b) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of stock of any class or to receive any other rights; or
(c) of any classification, reclassification or other reorganization of
the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into another corporation, or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of the Company;
then, and in any such case, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at
least twenty (20) days prior thereto, a notice stating the date or
expected date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend or distribution of rights, or the date on which such
classification, reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger,
conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up is to take place, as
the case may be. Such notice shall also specify the date or expected
date, if any is to be fixed, as of which holders of Common Stock of
record shall be entitled to participate in said dividend or distribution
of rights, or shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common stock
for securities or other property deliverable upon such classification,
reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation, or winding up, as the case may be. The failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of any such proceeding
or transaction and shall not affect the right of the holder of this
4
5
Warrant to participate in said dividend, distribution of rights, or any
such exchange and acquire the kind and amount of cash, securities or
other property as the Holder would have been entitled to acquire if it
was the record holder of the Warrant Shares which could be obtained upon
the exercise of the Warrants immediately before such proceeding or
transaction; provided that, the Holder exercises the Warrants within 30
days after discovery that such action or proceeding has taken place.
5. In case the Company at any time while this Warrant shall remain unexpired
and unexercised, shall dissolve, liquidate, or wind up its affairs, the
holder of this Warrant may thereafter receive upon exercise hereof in
lieu of each share of Common Stock of the Company which it would have
been entitled to receive, the same kind and amount of any securities or
assets as may be issuable, distributable or payable upon any such
dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to each share of
Common Stock of the Company.
G. OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as
required by the provisions of the foregoing Section, the Company shall
forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary at its principal office and
with the Warrant Agent, if any, an officer's certificate showing the
adjusted Exercise Price determined as therein provided, setting forth in
reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment, including a statement
of the number of additional shares of Common Stock, if any, the
consideration for such shares, determined as provided in such Section F, and
such other facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for and the manner
of computing such adjustment. Each such officer's certificate shall be made
available at all reasonable times for inspection by the holder and the
Company shall, forthwith after each such adjustment, mail a copy of such
certificate to the holder.
H. TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. Neither this Warrant,
the Warrant Shares, nor any other security issued or issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant may be sold or otherwise disposed or except as follows:
1. to a person who, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, is a person to whom the Warrant or Warrant Shares may legally be
transferred without registration and without the delivery of a current
prospectus under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") with
respect thereto and then only against receipt of an agreement of such
person to comply with the provisions of this Section H with respect to
any resale or other disposition of such securities; or

of the Act relating to such securities and the offering thereof for such
sale or disposition.
