STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT CANNOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED,
UNLESS AND UNTIL (i) THEY ARE SO REGISTERED OR, (ii) RULE 144, RULE 144A OR
ANY
SUCCESSOR RULE UNDER THE ACT PERMITS SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER, OR (iii) UNLESS
SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT THEN REQUIRED UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF SUCH EXERCISE,

WARRANT
TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK OF
THIS
CERTIFIES that, for value received, ________________________ (herein called
"Holder") is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise
and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or prior to the close
of business on the five year anniversary of the effective date of this Warrant
(the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from
TechnoConcepts, Inc. (herein called the "Company") a corporation organized
and
existing under the laws of the State of Colorado, at the price of $1.00 per
share (the "Warrant Exercise Price"), ________________ fully paid and
nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, no par value per share,
subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 3 below.
This
Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and
conditions:
1. Exercise;
Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
(a)
The
rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in
whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share) at the principal office
of
the Company (or such office or agency of the Company as it may from time to
time
reasonably designate) at any time prior to the Termination Date, and
(i)
by
payment to the Company by certified check or bank draft of the Warrant Exercise
Price for such shares, or
(ii)
by
“cashless exercise”; only if at any time after one year from the date of
issuance of this Warrant there is no effective Registration Statement
registering the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant
may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which
the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant
Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A),
where:
(A)
|
=
|
the
VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such
election;
|
|
(B)
|
=
|
the
Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
|
|
(X)
|
=
|
the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash
exercise
rather than a cashless
exercise.
|
“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses
that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading
Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such
date (or the nearest preceding date) on the primary Trading Market on which
the
Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P.
(based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. EST to 4:02 p.m. Eastern Time) using
the
VAP function; (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on the
Trading Market and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the
“Pink
Sheets” published by the Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or agency
succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price
per
share of the Common Stock so reported; or (c) in all other cases, the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by a nationally
recognized-independent appraiser selected in good faith by Purchasers holding
a
majority of the principal amount of Debentures then outstanding.
or
(iii)
by
a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of
this
Warrant.
The
notice accompanying the Warrant shall also set forth the number of shares
remaining subject to the Warrant. The Company shall not be obligated to issue
fractional shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant but shall pay
to
the Holder an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Price per share
multiplied by such fraction (rounded to the nearest cent). The Company agrees
that the shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as
the
record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which
a
properly executed notice of exercise of this Warrant shall have been surrendered
by facsimile, physical delivery, or other reasonable medium of delivery and
payment made for such shares as aforesaid. Subject to the provisions of the
next
succeeding Section and this Section 1, certificates for the shares of stock
so
purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within two business days after the
rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised along with
receipt by the Company of the physical Warrant or a duly executed Affidavit
of
Lost Warrant, and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing
the number of shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not
then
have been exercised or surrendered shall also be delivered to the Holder hereof
within two business days.
(b)
For
the purpose of any computation under this Section the "Current Market Price"
at
any date (the "Computation Date") shall be deemed to be the average of the
daily
closing prices of the Common Stock for ten consecutive trading days ending
the
trading day immediately prior to the Computation Date. The closing price for
each day shall be the last reported sale price or, in case no such reported
sale
takes place on such date, the average of the last reported asked prices, in
either case on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common
Stock is admitted to trading or listed if that is the principal market for
the
Common Stock or if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities
exchange or if such national securities exchange is not the principal market
for
the Common Stock, the closing bid prices reported by NASDAQ or its successor,
if
any, or such other generally accepted source of publicly reported bid and asked
quotations as the Company may reasonably designate. If the price of the Common
Stock is not so reported or the Common Stock is not publicly traded, the Current
Market Price per share as of any Computation Date shall be determined by the
Board of Directors in good faith, on such basis as it considers appropriate,
and
such determination shall be described in a duly adopted board resolution
certified by the Company's secretary or assistant secretary.
(c)
Exercise
Limitations;
Holder’s
Restrictions.
The
Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant,
pursuant to Section 2(c) or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect
to
such issuance after exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, would
beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance. For purposes
of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the
determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number
of
shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the
remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder
or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised
or
nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any other Debentures or Warrants) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially
owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the
preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership
shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it
being acknowledged by Holder that the Company is not representing to Holder
that
such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in
accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this
Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable
(in relation to other securities owned by the Holder) and of which a portion
of
this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder,
and
the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be such Holder’s
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by such Holder) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation,
and
the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such
determination. For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number
of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent
Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the
Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company
shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect
to
the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant,
by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The provisions of this Section
2(d) may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less
than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Section
2(d) shall continue to apply until such 61st
day (or
such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice
of waiver).
2. Shares
to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares.
The
Company covenants and agrees:
(a) That
all
Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented
by
this Warrant, will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable and free
from
all pre-emptive rights, and taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issuance thereof;
(b) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, that the Company will from time to
time take all such action as may be necessary to assure that the par value
per
share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then
effective Warrant Exercise Price per share of the Common Stock issuable pursuant
to this Warrant;
(c) That
during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the
purpose of the issuance upon exercise of the rights evidenced by this Warrant,
a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of
the
rights represented by this Warrant;
(d) That
the
Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that the Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof may be so issued without violation
of
any applicable law or regulation or of any requirements of any domestic
securities exchange or market upon which any capital stock of the Company may
be
listed or traded;
(e) That
the
Company will not take any action if the total number of shares of Common Stock
issuable after such action and upon exercise of all warrants and other rights
to
purchase or acquire Common Stock, together with all shares of Common Stock
then
outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then
authorized by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation. In the event any
stock
or securities of the Company other than Common Stock are issuable upon the
exercise hereof, the Company will take or refrain from taking any action
referred to in clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 2 as though such clauses
applied to such other shares or securities then issuable upon the exercise
hereof;
(f)
The
Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver
this Warrant; the execution and delivery of this Warrant have been duly and
validly authorized by the Company's Board of Directors and no other corporate
proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Warrant;
this Warrant has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company
and
constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms;
(g) No
order,
permit, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, and no
registration or filing of notice with, any governmental entity is necessary
to
authorize or permit, or is required in connection with, the execution, delivery
or performance of this Warrant or the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated hereby; and
(h) Neither
the execution, delivery nor compliance by the Company with any of the provisions
hereof will (i) violate, conflict with or result in any breach of any provision
of the Company's charter documents, (ii) result in a violation or breach or
termination of, or constitute a default under or conflict with any provision
of,
any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, lease, agreement or other
instrument or obligation to which the Company is subject, or (iii) violate
any
judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, award, statute, rule or regulation
to
which the Company is subject.
3. Adjustment
of Shares Issuable or Warrant Exercise Price.
The
above
provisions are subject to the following:
(a)
If
the
Company shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in shares of its Common
Stock, subdivide (split) its outstanding shares of Common Stock, combine
(reverse split) its outstanding shares of Common Stock, issue by
reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares or other securities
of
the Company, or distribute to holders of its Common Stock any securities or
any
assets of the Company or of another entity, the number of shares of Common
Stock
or other securities the Holder hereof is entitled to purchase pursuant to this
Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall
be
entitled to receive upon exercise the number of shares of Common Stock or other
securities or assets which such Holder would have owned or would have been
entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above
had
this Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior to the happening of such
event, and the Warrant Exercise Price per share shall be correspondingly
adjusted and the aggregate price upon exercise for all Warrants issuable
hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment shall not exceed the aggregate
amount payable upon exercise of such Warrant prior to such adjustment. An
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3 shall become effective immediately
after the record date in the case of a stock dividend or other distribution
and
shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of
a
subdivision, combination or reclassification. The Holder of this Warrant shall
be entitled to participate in any subscription or other rights offering made
to
holders of shares of Common Stock as if such Holder had purchased the full
number of shares as to which this Warrant remains unexercised immediately prior
to the record date for such subscription rights offering. If the Company is
consolidated or merged with or into another corporation or entity or if all
or
substantially all of its assets are conveyed to another corporation or entity
this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the purchase of the kind and
number of shares of stock or other securities or property, if any, receivable
upon such consolidation, merger or conveyance by a Holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company which could have been purchased on the
exercise of this Warrant in full immediately prior to such consolidation, merger
or conveyance; and, in any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined
in
good faith 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 Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions set forth herein
(including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the
number of shares of Common Stock the Holder of this Warrant is entitled to
purchase) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, in relation
to
any shares of Common Stock or other securities or other property thereafter
deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
The
Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or conveyance, unless
upon or prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation, or if
the
Company shall be the surviving corporation in any such transaction and is not
the issuer of the shares of stock or other securities or property to be
delivered to holders of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the effective
time thereof, then such issuer shall assume by written instrument the obligation
to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or other
property as the Holder shall be entitled to purchase in accordance with the
foregoing provisions.
(b)
If
at any
time the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock, or securities
convertible into Common Stock, for a consideration per share consisting solely
of cash (which consideration, in the case of securities convertible into Common
Stock, shall be the price per share of the Common Stock as a function of the
price per unit of the other securities) less than the lower of the Warrant
Price
in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Common Stock, the Warrant
Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall immediately
(except as provided in this Section 3) be adjusted to a price equal to said
consideration per share.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no adjustment to the Warrant Price will be made:
(i)
Upon
the
grant or exercise of options to purchase Common Stock, or the issuance of Common
Stock, to officers, employees and directors of, or consultants to, the Company
pursuant to arrangements, contracts or plans approved by the Board of Directors
for compensatory purposes; or
(ii) Upon
the
exercise of warrants to purchase Common Stock outstanding on the date hereof,
upon the issuance or exercise of this Warrant, or upon the exercise of any
Convertible Debenture dated as of November 18, 2004, or upon the issuance or
exercise of any securities contained therein; or
(iii) Upon
the
conversion of Preferred Stock;
(vii) Any
determination as to whether an adjustment in the Warrant Price in effect
hereunder is required pursuant to this Section 3, or as to the amount of any
such adjustment, if required, shall be binding upon the Holder and the Company
if made in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
4. Notice
of Adjustment.
Upon
any
adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant or the Warrant Exercise Price, then and in each such case, the
Company shall give written notice thereof by first class mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to the Holder at the address of such Holder as shown on the books
of
the Company and pursuant to Section 16, which notice shall state the Warrant
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease,
if
any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of
this
Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the
facts upon which such calculation is based.
5. Other
Notices.
In
case
at any time prior to the Termination Date:
(a) The
Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Common Stock payable in stock
or make any special dividend or other distribution (other than regular cash
dividends) to the Holders of its Common Stock;
(b) The
Company shall offer for subscription to the Holders of any of its Common Stock
any additional shares of Common Stock of any class or other rights;
(c) There
shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock
of
the Company or consolidation or merger of the Company with or sale of all or
substantially of its assets to another corporation or entity; or
(d)
There
shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of
the Company;
Then
in
any one or more of said cases the Company shall give by first class mail postage
prepaid, addressed to the Holder of this Warrant at the address of such Holder
as shown on the books of the Company, pursuant to Section 16, (i) at least
20
days prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall
close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription
rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding and (ii) in the case of such reorganization or reclassification,
consolidation, merger or sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least
20 days prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Any
notice required by clause (i) shall also specify in the case of any such
dividend, distribution or subscription rights the date on which the holders
of
Common Stock shall be entitled thereto and a notice required by clause (ii)
shall also specify the date on which the holders of the Common Stock shall
be
entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger or sale,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up as the case may be.
6. Issue
Tax.
The
issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in
respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and
delivery of any certificate in a name other that of the Holder of the Warrant
exercised.
7. Closing
of Books.
The
Company will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of this
Warrant or of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise
of
this Warrant in any matter which interferes with a timely exercise of this
Warrant. The Company will not, by any action, seek to avoid the observance
or
performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good
faith seek to carry out all such terms and take all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against
impairment.
8. No
Voting Rights.
This
Warrant shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights
as a stockholder of the Company.
9. Transfers.
Prior
to
any transfer or attempted transfer of any securities (except a transfer by
a
Holder to an affiliate, subsidiary, employee or shareholder of the Holder),
the
Holder shall give written notice to the Company of such Holder's intention
to
effect such transfer. Holder will not transfer or dispose of this Warrant and
will not sell or transfer any securities except pursuant to (i) an effective
registration statement under the Act, (ii) Rule 144, Rule 144A or any successor
rule under the Act permitting such sale or transfer or (iii) any other exemption
under the Act provided that the Holder delivers an opinion of Holder's counsel
reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company that an exemption from
registration under the Act is available. Each certificate evidencing the
securities issued upon such transfer shall bear the restrictive legend set
forth
on the first page of this Warrant modified to delete references to the Warrant,
if appropriate, unless in the reasonable opinion of Holder's counsel such legend
is not required in order to insure compliance with the Act.
10. Rights
to Register
(a) At
any
time after the date of this Warrant, the holders at least fifty-one (51%)
percent of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
associated with the Company’s Series A Secured Subordinated Promissory Notes
(the "Registrable Securities") request that the Company file a Registration
Statement for the Registrable Securities, the Company will use its best efforts
to cause such shares to be registered; provided, however, that the Company
shall
not be obligated to effect any such registration prior to 120 days from the
date
of Closing. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than one (1)
registration under this demand right provision.
(b) If
at any
time 120 days after the date of this Warrant the Company proposes to register
any of its securities under the Securities Act by registration on Forms X-0,
X-0
or S-3 or any successor or similar forms (except registrations on such Forms
solely for registration of shares in connection with an employee benefit plan
or
a merger or consolidation) in an underwritten public offering that will effect
a
broad distribution of the shares to be so registered, whether or not for sale
for its own account, it will each such time give prompt written notice to the
Holder of its intention to do so and of such Holder's rights under this Section
10. Upon the written request of Holder made within 20 days after the receipt
of
any such notice (which request shall specify the number of Warrants and/or
shares of Common Stock issued as a result of the exercise of this Warrant or
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the "Registrable Securities") intended
to be disposed of by the Holder), the Company will use its reasonable efforts
to
effect the registration under the Securities Act in such underwritten public
offering of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested
to register by Holder.
(c) If
the
managing underwriter for any underwritten offering in a registration pursuant
to paragraph 10(b) shall inform the Company and the Holder requesting such
registration
by letter of its belief that the number of securities requested to be included
in such registration would materially adversely affect its ability to effect
such offering, then the Company will include in such registration, to the extent
of the number which the Company is so advised can be sold in (or during the
time
of) such offering, first, all securities proposed by the Company to be sold
for
its own account, and second, such Registrable Securities and other securities
of
the Company requested to be included in such registration, pro rata on the
basis
of the number of shares of such securities so proposed to be sold and so
requested to be included; provided, however, if such other securities are being
offered for the account of persons exercising their“demand”
registration rights, any reduction of such other securities shall be made after
all Registrable Securities have been excluded from such registration.
11. Obligations
of the Company
Whenever
required under Section 10 to use its best efforts to effect the registration
of
any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as
possible:
(a) Prepare
and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") a registration
statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts
to cause such registration statement to become effective, and keep such
registration statement effective for up to six months.
(b) Prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration
statement, and use its best efforts to cause each such amendment to become
effective, as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the such
registration statement.
(c) Furnish
to the Holder such reasonable number of copies of a prospectus, including any
preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities
Act, and any amendments or supplements prepared pursuant to Section 10 and
such
other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(d) Use
its
best efforts to register or 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, provided that the Company 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 jurisdiction.
(e) Enter
into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual
and
customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. The Holder
shall
also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement, including
furnishing any opinion of counsel or entering into a lock-up agreement
reasonably requested by the managing underwriter.
(f) Notify
the Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement,
at
any time when a prospectus relating thereto covered by such registration
statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, 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 a material fact
or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
then existing and promptly file such amendments and supplements which may be
required pursuant to Section 10 on account of such event and use its best
efforts to cause each such amendment and supplement to become effective.
(g) Apply
for
listing and use its best efforts to list the Registrable Securities being
registered on any national securities exchange on which a class of the Company's
equity securities are listed or, if the Company does not have a class of equity
securities listed on a national securities exchange, apply for qualification
and
use its best efforts to qualify the Registrable Securities being registered
for
inclusion on the automated quotation system of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc.
It
shall
be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action
pursuant to Section 10 that Holder shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method
of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the
registration of its Registrable Securities.
All
expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions, transfer taxes,
if
any, and fees and disbursements of counsel to the Holder) relating to
Registrable Securities incurred in connection with the registrations, filings
or
qualifications pursuant to Section 10 including (without limitation) all
registration, filing and qualification fees, printing and accounting fees,
and
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne by the
Company.
12. Indemnification.
The
Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and any underwriter (as
defined in the Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls the
Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to
which the Holder or underwriter or such controlling person may become subject,
under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) are caused by any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration
Statement under which the securities were registered under the Act, any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and will reimburse
the
Holder, underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Holder, underwriter or such controlling
person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, expense or liability or action; provided, however, that the Company
will
not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
expense or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity
with written information furnished by the Holder or underwriter in writing
specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
Each
Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors,
each
of its officers who have signed said Registration Statement, and each person,
if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, or any such director,
officer or controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) are caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in said Registration Statement, said preliminary prospectus
or
prospectus, or amendment or amendments or supplements thereto, or arise out
of
or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading; in each case to the extent, but only to the extent,
that
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission was so made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished by the Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof; and
will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company
or
any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.
It
shall be a condition of the Company under Section 11 above that the Holder
confirm to the Company in writing, prior to the effective date of any
Registration Statement in which are included securities of such Holder, the
agreement of such Holder as set forth in the previous sentence.
Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party pursuant hereto of notice of any claim
or
the commencement of any action to which indemnity would apply, such indemnified
party will, if a claim thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
pursuant hereto, notify the indemnifying party of such claim or action; but
the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than hereunder.
In case such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies
the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party
will
be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly
with
any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof,
with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, provided, however, that
any
person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ
separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person and not
of
the indemnifying party unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay
such
fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assure
the
defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party, or (c) in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified party
a
conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the
indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the
indemnified party notifies the indemnifying part in writing that such
indemnified party elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume
the defense of such claim on behalf of such indemnified party.)

the reports required to be filed by it under the Act and the 34 Act, and the
rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and it will take
such further action as the Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent
required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell securities without
registration under the Act within the limitation of the conditions provided
by
(a) Rule 144 and Rule 144A under the Act, as such Rules may be amended from
time

Holder a written statement verifying that it has complied with such information
and requirements.

from discharging its obligations hereunder.
19. Nonwaiver
and Expenses.

course
of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part
