1. DATE OF ISSUANCE.
This Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on September 15, 1999 ("Date of
Issuance").
2. EXERCISE.
(a) MANNER OF EXERCISE. During the Exercise Period, this Warrant may be
exercised as to all or any lesser number of full shares of Common Stock covered
hereby upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Exercise Form attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the "Exercise Form") duly executed, together with the full Exercise
Price (as defined below) for each share of Common Stock as to which this Warrant
is exercised, at the office of the Company, Avenue Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxxxx 00, 0000
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx; Attention: President, Telephone No. (41-22) 301-
0360, Telecopy No. (00-00) 000-0000, or at such other office or agency as the
Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail, with an advance copy of the
Exercise Form sent to the Company by facsimile (such surrender and payment of
the Exercise Price hereinafter called the "Exercise of this Warrant").
(b) DATE OF EXERCISE. The "Date of Exercise" of the Warrant shall be
defined as the date that the advance copy of the Exercise Form is sent by
facsimile to the Company, provided that the original Warrant and
1
Exercise Form are received by the Company as soon as practicable thereafter.
Alternatively, the Date of Exercise shall be defined as the date the original
Exercise Form is received by the Company, if Holder has not sent advance notice
by facsimile.
(c) CANCELLATION OF WARRANT. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the
Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise,
Holder shall be entitled to receive Common Stock for the number of shares
purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not
exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing
terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this
Warrant in addition to such Common Stock.
(d) HOLDER OF RECORD. Each person in whose name any Warrant for shares of
Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of
record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of
the date of delivery of the Common Stock purchased upon the Exercise of this
Warrant. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder
any rights as a stockholder of the Company.
3. PAYMENT OF WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE.
The Exercise Price shall equal $0.75 per share ("Exercise Price").
Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a
combination thereof, at the election of Holder: cash, certified check, cashiers
check or wire transfer.
4. TRANSFER AND REGISTRATION.
(a) TRANSFER RIGHTS. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this
Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole
or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly
endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as
practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made shall be
entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant
transferred and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to the
portion hereof retained.
(b) REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. The Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant constitutes "Registrable Securities" under that certain
Registration Rights Agreement dated on or about __________________, 1999 between
the Company and the Holders and, accordingly, has the benefit of the
registration rights pursuant to that agreement.
5. ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS.
(a) STOCK DIVIDEND. If the Company shall at any time declare a dividend
payable in shares of Common Stock, then Holder, upon Exercise of this Warrant
after the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to receive such dividend, shall be entitled to receive upon Exercise of this
Warrant, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this
Warrant is exercised, such additional shares of Common Stock as such Holder
would have received had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such
record date and the Exercise Price will be proportionately adjusted.
2
(b) RECAPITALIZATION OR RECLASSIFICATION. If the Company shall at any time
the Warrants are outstanding effect a recapitalization, reclassification or
other similar transaction of such character that the shares of Common Stock
shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of
shares, then upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common
Stock which Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant
shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the
increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such
recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise
Price shall be, in the case of an increase in the number of shares,
proportionally decreased and, in the case of decrease in the number of shares,
proportionally increased. The Company shall give Holder same notice it provides
to holders of Common Stock of any transaction described in this Section 5 (b).
(c) DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company shall at any time the Warrants are
outstanding distribute for no consideration to holders of Common Stock cash,
evidences of indebtedness or other securities or assets (other than cash
dividends or distributions payable out of earned surplus or net profits for the
current or preceding year) then, in any such case, Holder shall be entitled to
receive, upon Exercise of this Warrant, with respect to each share of Common
Stock issuable upon such exercise, the amount of cash or evidences of
indebtedness or other securities or assets which Holder would have been entitled
to receive with respect to each such share of Common Stock as a result of the
happening of such event had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the
record date or other date fixing shareholders to be affected by such event (the
"Determination Date") or, in lieu thereof, if the Board of Directors of the
Company should so determine at the time of such distribution, a reduced Exercise
Price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price on the Determination Date by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the result of such Exercise Price reduced
by the value of such distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock (such
value to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in its
discretion) and the denominator of which is such Exercise Price.
(d) NOTICE OF CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER. In the event of a merger,
consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other
similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into
the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes
of stock or securities or other assets of the Company or another entity or there
is a sale of all or substantially all the Company's assets (a "Corporate
Change"), then this Warrant shall be exercisable into such class and type of
securities or other assets as Holder would have received had Holder exercised
this Warrant immediately prior to such Corporate Change; provided, however, that
Company may not affect any Corporate Change unless it first shall have given
thirty (30) business days notice to Holder hereof of any Corporate Change.
(e) EXERCISE PRICE ADJUSTED. As used in this Warrant, the term "Exercise
Price" shall mean the purchase price per share specified in Section 3 of this
Warrant, until the occurrence of an event stated in subsection (a), (b) or (c)
of this Section 5, and thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to
time in accordance with the provisions of said subsection. No such adjustment
under this Section 5 shall be made unless such adjustment would change the
Exercise Price at the time by $.01 or more; provided, however, that all
adjustments not so made shall be deferred and made when the aggregate thereof
would change the Exercise Price at the time by $.01 or more. No adjustment made
3
pursuant to any provision of this Section 5 shall have the net effect of
increasing the Exercise Price. The number of shares of Common Stock subject
hereto shall increase proportionately with each decrease in the Exercise Price.
(f) ADJUSTMENTS: ADDITIONAL SHARES, SECURITIES OR ASSETS. In the event
that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5,
Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares
and/or other securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever
appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to
refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and
thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5.
6. FRACTIONAL INTERESTS.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant,
Holder may purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock, if, on
Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of
Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such
fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise shall be the next higher number of shares.
7. RESERVATION OF SHARES.
The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities substituted
therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise of
this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price. The Company covenants and agrees
that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and
not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of
any person or entity.
8. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
(a) REGISTRATION OR EXAMINATION REQUIRED. This Warrant has been issued in
a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Act by virtue of
Regulation D and is exempt from state registration under applicable state laws.
The Warrant and the Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant may
not be sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an
exemption to the registration requirements of the Act and applicable state laws.
(b) ASSIGNMENT. If Holder can provide the Company with reasonably
satisfactory evidence that the conditions of (a) above regarding registration or
exemption have been satisfied, Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or
otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a
written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached
hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the person or persons to whom the Warrant shall
