The term "Common Stock" means the Common Stock, par value $___ per share, of the Company as constituted on ____________, 199__ (the "Issue Date"). The number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon the exercise of this Warrant may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth. The shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such exercise, and as adjusted from time to time, are hereinafter referred to as "Warrant Stock." The term "Other Securities" means any other equity or debt securities that may be issued by the Company in addition thereto or in substitution for the Warrant Stock. 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, if mutilated, and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall 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. The Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant is issued, and all the rights hereunder shall be held, subject to all of the conditions, limitations and provisions set forth herein. 2 1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. (A) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time, or from time to time, during the period commencing on the date hereof and expiring 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date (the "Expiration Date") or, if such day is a day on which banking institutions in New York are authorized or required by law to close, then on the next succeeding day that shall not be such a day, by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office, or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Warrant Exercise Form attached hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment (either in cash or by certified or official bank check, payable to the order of the Company) of the Exercise Price for the number of shares specified in such form and instruments of transfer, if appropriate, duly executed by the Holder or his or her duly authorized attorney. 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 thereof to purchase the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company or the stock transfer agent of the Company of this Warrant, together with the Exercise Price, 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 certificates representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. (B) The Holder hereby acknowledges that neither this Warrant nor any of the securities that may be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state. The Holder acknowledges that, upon exercise of this Warrant, the securities to be issued upon such exercise may be subject to applicable federal and state securities (or other) laws requiring registration, qualification or approval of governmental authorities before such securities may be validly issued or delivered upon notice of such exercise. The Company's sole obligation to any Holder upon exercise hereof shall be to use its best efforts to obtain exemptions from registration or qualification for the issuance of such securities under applicable state and federal securities laws, and the Holder further agrees that the issuance of such securities shall be deferred until such exemption shall have been obtained; and it is further agreed that the Company shall have no other obligation to the Holder for the non-issuance of such securities except to return the Warrant so rendered and to refund to the Holder any consideration tendered in respect of the exercise price. With respect to any such securities, this Warrant may not be exercised by, and securities shall not be issued, to any Holder in any state in which such exercise would be unlawful. Any restrictions imposed by this section upon the exercise of this Warrant shall cease and terminate as to any particular shares of Common Stock (a) when such securities shall have been registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws, or (b) when, in the opinion of Counsel to the Company, such restrictions are no longer required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. -2- 3 2. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant all shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company (and Other Securities) from time to time receivable upon exercise of this Warrant. All such shares (and Other Securities) shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of all preemptive rights. 3. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay the Holder an amount equal to the fair market value of such fractional share of Common Stock in lieu of each fraction of a share otherwise called for upon any exercise of this Warrant. For purposes of this Warrant, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock shall be determined as follows: (a) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange or listed for trading on the NASDAQ system, the current market value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange or system on the last business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no such sale is made on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or system; or (b) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, the current market value shall be the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. on the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant; or (c) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current market value shall be an amount, not less than book value thereof as at the end of the most recent fiscal year of the Company ending prior to the date of the exercise of the Warrant, determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Company. 4. EXCHANGE, TRANSFER, 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 its stock transfer agent, if any, for other Warrants of different denominations, entitling the Holder or Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof. -3- 4 5. RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or in equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant. 6. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. 6.1 ADJUSTMENT FOR RECAPITALIZATION. If the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant) by recapitalization, reclassification or split-up thereof, or if the Company shall declare a stock dividend or distribute shares of Common Stock to its stockholders, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately increased, and if the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock by recapitalization, reclassification or combination thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased. Any such adjustment and adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be effective at the close of business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination or if any adjustment is the result of a stock dividend or distribution then the effective date for such adjustment based thereon shall be the record date therefor. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as provided in this Section 6.1, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to the nearest cent by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter. 6.2 CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock receivable on the exercise of the Warrant, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate executed by two executive officers of the Company setting forth such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to each Holder. 6.3 NOTICES OF RECORD DATE, ETC. In case: (a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or Other Securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend at the same rate as the rate of the last cash dividend theretofore paid) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right; or (b) of any capital reorganization of the Company any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into -4- 5 another corporation, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation; or (c) of any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then, and in each such case, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder of the Warrant at the time outstanding a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a 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, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place, and the time, if any, is to be fixed, as to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall be mailed at least 20 days prior to the date therein specified and the Warrant may be exercised prior to said date during the term of the Warrant. 7. REDEMPTION. The Company shall have the right, upon the giving of at least 30 days prior written notice to the Holders of all the Warrants, to redeem all of the Warrants at a price of $.05 per Warrant at any time after 90 days following the date that the Company completes a public offering of its Common Stock at an offering price of not less than $5 per share; provided, however, that the Holder shall have the right to exercise the unexercised portion of the Warrant up to the business day before the date set for redemption by giving the Company a Notice of Exercise and delivering an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is then being exercised. Such notice of redemption shall (a) designate the date of redemption which date shall be not less than 30 or more than 60 days from the date of such notice, (b) state the redemption price and that payment therefor will be made upon surrender of the Warrant of the offices of the Company and (c) indicate that the right to exercise the Warrant will terminate at the close of business on the business day prior to the redemption date. If the giving of notice of redemption shall be given as aforesaid, the right to exercise the Warrant shall terminate at the close of business on the business day preceding the date fixed for redemption and the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled upon surrender of this Warrant to receive the redemption price without interest. 8. TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE SECURITIES ACT. The Company shall be under no obligation to transfer this Warrant, or any of the Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless and until the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Company, that such transfer does not require registration of any such securities under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. This Warrant and any Warrant Stock or Other Securities may not be sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except as follows: (a) to a person who, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, is a -5- 6 person to whom this Warrant or the Warrant Stock or Other Securities may legally be transferred without registration and without the delivery of a current prospectus under the Securities Act with respect thereto and then only against receipt of an agreement of such person to comply with the provisions of this Section 8 with respect to any resale or other disposition of such securities; or (b) to any person upon delivery of a prospectus then meeting the requirements of the Securities Act relating to such securities and the offering thereof for such sale or disposition, and thereafter to all successive assignees. 9.
