1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
1.1 EXERCISE. (a) This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof

specified in the first paragraph hereof until the Expiration Date by surrender
of this Warrant and the subscription form annexed hereto (duly executed by the
Holder), to the Company's transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock, and
by making payment, in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the
order of the Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of
shares of Common Stock designated by the Holder in the subscription form by (b)
the Purchase Price then in effect. On any partial exercise the Company will
forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder hereof a new
Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder hereof or as the
Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may
request, providing in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the
purchase of the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant or
Warrants may still be exercised.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, in no event
shall the Holder be entitled at any time to purchase a number of shares of
Common Stock on exercise of this Warrant in excess of that number of shares upon
purchase of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and all persons whose beneficial ownership of
shares of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder's beneficial
ownership of shares of Common Stock for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934
Act and Regulation 13D-G thereunder, (each such person other than the Holder an
"Aggregated Person" and all such persons other than the Holder, collectively,
the "Aggregated Persons") (other than shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially
owned through the ownership by the Holder and all Aggregated Persons of the
Holder of the unexercised portion of this Warrant and any other security of the
Company which contains similar provisions) and (2) the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the portion of this Warrant with respect
to which the determination in this sentence is being made, would result in
beneficial ownership by the Holder and all Aggregated Persons of the Holder of
more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the
immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and Regulation 13D-G thereunder,
except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of the immediately preceding
sentence.
-3-
For purposes of the second preceding sentence, the Company shall be entitled to
rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any statement or
representation made by the Holder to the Company in connection with a particular
exercise of this Warrant, without any obligation on the part of the Company to
make any inquiry or investigation or to examine its records or the records of
any transfer agent for the Common Stock.
1.2 NET ISSUANCE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in Section 1.1, the Holder may elect to exercise this Warrant in whole or in
part by receiving shares of Common Stock equal to the net issuance value (as
determined below) of this Warrant, or any part hereof, upon surrender of this
Warrant to the Company's transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock the
principal office of the Company together with the subscription form annexed
hereto (duly executed by the Holder), in which event the Company shall issue to
the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following
formula:
X = Y (A-B)
-------
A
Where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this
Warrant is to be exercised
A = the current fair market value of one share of Common Stock
calculated as of the last trading day immediately preceding
the exercise of this Warrant
B = the Purchase Price
As used herein, current fair market value of Common Stock as of a
specified date shall mean with respect to each share of Common Stock the average
of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the principal securities market
on which the Common Stock may at the time be listed or, if there have been no
sales on any such exchange on such day, the average of the highest bid and
lowest asked prices on the principal securities market at the end of such day,
or, if on such day the Common Stock is not so listed, the average of the
representative bid and asked prices quoted in the Nasdaq System as of 4:00 p.m.,
New York City time, or, if on such day the Common Stock is not quoted in the
Nasdaq System, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked price on such day
in the domestic over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation
Bureau, Incorporated, or any similar successor organization, in each such case
averaged over a period of five consecutive Trading Days consisting of the day as
of which the current fair market value of a share of Common Stock is being
determined (or if such day is not a Trading Day, the Trading Day next preceding
such day) and the four consecutive Trading Days prior to such day. If on the
date for which current fair market value is to be determined the Common Stock is
not listed on any securities exchange or quoted in the Nasdaq System or the
over-the-counter market, the current fair market value of Common Stock shall be
the highest price per share which the Company could then obtain from a willing
buyer (not a current
-4-
employee or director) for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company, from
authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company, unless prior to such date the Company has become
subject to a merger, acquisition or other consolidation pursuant to which the
Company is not the surviving party, in which case the current fair market value
of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the value received by the holders of
the Company's Common Stock for each share thereof pursuant to the Company's
acquisition.
1.3 LIMITATION ON SHARES ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE. Notwithstanding any
other provision herein, unless the Stockholder Approval shall have been obtained
from the stockholders of the Company or waived by the Nasdaq (or other
appropriate stock exchange or market), so long as the Common Stock is listed on
the Nasdaq, the Nasdaq SmallCap, the NYSE or the AMEX the Company shall not be
required to issue upon conversion of this Warrant a number of shares of Common
Stock in excess of the Maximum Share Amount. The Company shall maintain records
which show the number of shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon
conversion from time to time of the Note and exercise of this Warrant, which
records shall be controlling in the absence of manifest error. Upon surrender
of this Warrant for transfer or re-registration hereof (or, at the option of the
Holder, for exercise of less than all of this Warrant), the Company shall make a
notation on the new Warrant issued upon such transfer or re-registration or
evidencing such unexercised portion of this Warrant, as the case may be, as to
the remaining number of shares of Common Stock from the Maximum Share Amount
remaining available for conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrant
evidenced by such new certificate. If this Warrant is surrendered for split-up
into two or more Warrants representing the right to purchase an aggregate number
of shares equal to the number of shares which may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant at the time so surrendered (as reduced by any contemporaneous
exercise of this Warrant), each Warrant issued on such split-up shall bear a
notation of the portion of the Maximum Share Amount allocated thereto determined
by pro rata allocation from among the remaining Maximum Share Amount at the time
this Warrant is so surrendered.
2. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES, ETC., ON EXERCISE. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, and in any event within three
Trading Days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it
of any applicable issue or stamp taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of
and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder
of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate or certificates for
the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, in such
denominations as may be requested by the Holder, plus, in lieu of any fractional
share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such
fraction multiplied by the then current fair market value (as determined in
accordance with subsection 1.2) of one full share, together with any other stock
or other securities any property (including cash, where applicable) to which the
Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise. Upon
exercise of this Warrant as provided herein, the Company's obligation to issue
and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to
enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof,
the recovery of
-5-
any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure
or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Company to the
Holder, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or
any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other person of any obligation
to the Company, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise
limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with such
exercise. If the Company fails to issue and deliver the certificates for the
Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph as
and when required to do so, in addition to any other liabilities the Company may
have hereunder and under applicable law, the Company shall pay or reimburse the
Holder on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses including, without limitation,
fees and expenses of legal counsel incurred by the Holder as a result of such
failure.
3. ADJUSTMENT FOR DIVIDENDS IN OTHER STOCK, PROPERTY, ETC.;
RECLASSIFICATION, ETC. In case at any time or from time to time, all the
holders of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall have received, or (on or
after the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders eligible to
receive) shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor,
(a) other or additional stock or other securities or property (other
than cash) by way of dividend, or
(b) any cash (excluding cash dividends payable solely out of earnings
or earned surplus of the Company), or
(c) other or additional stock or other securities or property
(including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up, reclassification,
recapitalization, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement,
other than additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued as a
stock dividend or in a stock-split (adjustments in respect of which are provided
for in Section 5), then and in each such case the Holder, on the exercise hereof
as provided in Section 1, shall be entitled to receive the amount of stock and
other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in
subdivisions (b) and (c) of this Section 3) which the Holder would hold on the
date of such exercise if on the date thereof the Holder had been the holder of
record of the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of this
Warrant and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and
including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and all such other or
additional stock and other securities and property (including cash in the case
referred to in subdivisions (b) and (c) of this Section 3) receivable by the
Holder as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called
for during such period by Section 4.
4. EXERCISE UPON REORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In
case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a
reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c)
transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other
person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the
Company, then, in each such case, as a condition of such reorganization,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the Company shall give at least 30
days notice to the Holder of such pending
-6-
transaction whereby the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant
prior to any such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any
exercise of this Warrant pursuant to notice under this Section shall be
conditioned upon the closing of such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale
or conveyance which is the subject of the notice and the exercise of this
Warrant shall not be deemed to have occurred until immediately prior to the
closing of such transaction.
5. ADJUSTMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS. In the event that the
Company shall (i) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or
other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such
event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such
event, be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior
to such event by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be
the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be
readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or
events described herein in this Section 5. The Holder shall thereafter, on the
exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive that number of
shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common
Stock which would be issuable on such exercise immediately prior to such
issuance by a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the Purchase Price in
effect immediately prior to such issuance and (ii) the denominator is the
Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.
6. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Company will take all action that may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue
fully paid and nonassessable shares of stock, free from all taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issue thereof, on the exercise of all or any portion
of this Warrant from time to time outstanding.
7. NOTICES OF RECORD DATE, ETC. In the event of
(a) any taking by the Company 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 on, 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 any other right, or
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company to or consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into any other person, or
(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-
up of the Company,
-7-
then and in each such event the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
Holder, at least ten days prior to such record date, a notice specifying (i) the
date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution or right, (ii) the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is
to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) for securities or other property deliverable on such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and (iii) the amount and character of
any stock or other securities, or rights or options with respect thereto,
proposed to be issued or granted, the date of such proposed issue or grant and
the persons or class of persons to whom such proposed issue or grant is to be
offered or made. Such notice shall also state that the action in question or
the record date is subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement
under the 1933 Act, or a favorable vote of stockholders if either is required.
Such notice shall be mailed at least ten days prior to the date specified in
such notice on which any such action is to be taken or the record date,
whichever is earlier.
8. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC., ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.
The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
but unissued shares of capital stock, solely for issuance and delivery on the
exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) to effect the full exercise of this Warrant and the exercise,
conversion or exchange of any other warrant or security of the Company
exercisable for, convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise entitling the
holder to acquire shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities), and if at any
time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) shall not be sufficient to effect such exercise, conversion or
exchange, the Company shall take such action as may be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to such
number as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
9. TRANSFER OF WARRANT. This Warrant shall inure to the benefit of
the successors to and assigns of the Holder. This Warrant and all rights

Company referred to below by the Holder hereof in person or by his duly

so registered as the sole and absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes.

and purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to
subscribe for and purchase such number of shares as shall be designated by said
Holder hereof at the time of such surrender.

mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its
expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
13. WARRANT AGENT. In accordance with the Transfer Agent Agreement,
dated August __, 1998, by and among the Company, American Stock Transfer & Trust

the Company has appointed the Transfer Agent as the exercise agent for purposes
of issuing shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of this

Holder in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the
performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and
will not be adequate, and that such terms may be specifically enforced by a
decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an
injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.
15. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS A STOCKHOLDER. This Warrant shall
not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a
stockholder of the Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of
affirmative action by the Holder hereof to purchase Common Stock, and no mere
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give
rise to any liability of the Holder for the Purchase Price or as a stockholder
of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by
creditors of the Company.
16. NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications from the
Company to the registered Holder shall be mailed by first class certified mail,
postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to the Company in
writing by the Holder or at the address shown for the Holder on the register of
Warrants referred to in Section 10.
17. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder
represents to the Company that this Warrant is being acquired for the Holder's
own account and for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for
sale in connection with, the
-9-
distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of distributing or selling
the Warrant or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. The
Holder acknowledges and agrees that this Warrant and, except as otherwise
provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant (if any) have not been (and at the time of acquisition
by the Holder, will not have been or will not be), registered under the 1933 Act
or under the securities laws of any state, in reliance upon certain exemptive
provisions of such statutes. The Holder further recognizes and acknowledges that
because this Warrant and, except as provided in the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (if any) are
unregistered, they may not be eligible for resale, and may only be resold in the
future pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and
any applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to a valid exemption from such
registration requirements. Unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant have theretofore been registered for resale under the
1933 Act, the Company may require, as a condition to the issuance of Common
Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant (i) in the case of an exercise in
accordance with Section 1.1 hereof, a confirmation as of the date of exercise of
the Holder's representations pursuant to this Section 17, or (ii) in the case of
an exercise in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof, an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the shares of Common Stock to be
issued upon such exercise may be issued without registration under the 1933 Act.
18. LEGEND. Unless theretofore registered for resale under the 1933
Act, each certificate for shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall bear
the following legend:
The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The securities have been
acquired for investment and may not be resold, transferred or assigned in
the absence of an effective registration statement for the securities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an opinion of counsel that
registration is not required under said Act.
19. MISCELLANEOUS. This Warrant and any terms hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the
party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination
is sought. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and
governed by the internal laws of the State of New York. The headings in this
Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise
affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any
other provision.
