(a) The Warrant Certificates shall be substantially in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the provisions of which are hereby incorporated
herein) and may have such letters, numbers, or other marks of identification
or designation and such legends, summaries, or endorsements printed,
lithographed, or engraved thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as
are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be
required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant
thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the
Warrants may be listed, or to conform to
4
usage or to the requirements of Section 2(b). The Warrant Certificates shall
be dated the date of issuance thereof (whether upon initial issuance,
transfer, exchange, or in lieu of mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed
Warrant Certificates) and issued in registered form. Warrant Certificates
shall be numbered serially with the letter W.
(b) Warrant Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company
by its President, or any Vice President and by its Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary, by manual signatures or by facsimile signatures printed thereon,
and shall have imprinted thereon a facsimile of the Company's seal. Warrant
Certificates shall be manually countersigned by the Warrant Agent and shall
not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. In case any officer of
the Company who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates shall cease
to be an officer of the Company or to hold the particular office referenced
in the Warrant Certificate before the date of issuance of the Warrant
Certificates or before countersignature by the Warrant Agent and issue and
delivery thereof, such Warrant Certificates may nevertheless be countersigned
by the Warrant Agent, issued and delivered with the same force and effect as
though the person who signed such Warrant Certificates had not ceased to be
an officer of the Company or to hold such office. After countersignature by
the Warrant Agent, Warrant Certificates shall be delivered by the Warrant
Agent to the Registered Holder without further action by the Company, except
as otherwise provided by Section 4 hereof.
4. Exercise. Each Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder
thereof at any time on or after the Initial Warrant Exercise Date, but not
after the Warrant Expiration Date, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Warrant Certificate. A
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close
of business on the Exercise Date and the person entitled to receive the
securities deliverable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes
as the holder of those securities upon the exercise of the Warrant as of the
close of business on the Exercise Date. As soon as practicable on or after
the Exercise Date, the Warrant Agent shall deposit the proceeds received from
the exercise of a Warrant and shall notify the Company in writing of the
exercise of the Warrants. Promptly following, and in any event within five
(5) business days after the date of such notice from the Warrant Agent,
5
the Warrant Agent, on behalf of the Company, shall cause to be issued and
delivered by the Transfer Agent, to the person or persons entitled to receive
the same, a certificate or certificates for the securities deliverable upon
such exercise (plus a certificate for any remaining unexercised Warrants of
the Registered Holder), unless prior to the date of issuance of such
certificates the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent to refrain from
causing such issuance of certificates pending clearance of checks received in
payment of the Purchase Price pursuant to such Warrants. Upon the exercise of
any Warrant and clearance of the funds received, the Warrant Agent shall
promptly remit the payment received for the Warrant (the "Warrant Proceeds")
to the Company or as the Company may direct in writing.
5. Reservation of Shares; Listing; Payment of Taxes, etc.
------------------------------------------------------
(a) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and
keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
issue upon exercise of Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as
shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The
Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants shall, at the time of delivery, be duly and
validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens,
and charges with respect to the issue thereof, (other than those which the
Company shall promptly pay or discharge) and that upon issuance such shares
shall be listed on each national securities exchange or eligible for
inclusion in each automated quotation system, if any, on which the other
shares of outstanding Common Stock of the Company are then listed or eligible
for inclusion.
(b) The Company covenants that if any securities to be reserved for
the purpose of exercise of Warrants hereunder require registration with, or
approval of, any governmental authority under any federal securities law
before such securities may be validly issued or delivered upon such exercise,
then the Company will, to the extent the Purchase Price is less than the
Market Price (as hereinafter defined), in good faith and as expeditiously as
reasonably possible, endeavor to secure such registration or approval and
will use its reasonable efforts to obtain appropriate approvals or
registrations under state "blue sky" securities laws. With respect to any
such securities, however, Warrants may not be
6
exercised by, or shares of Common Stock issued to, any Registered Holder in
any state in which such exercise would be unlawful.
(c) The Company shall pay all documentary, stamp, or similar taxes
and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the
issuance of Warrants, or the issuance, or delivery of any shares upon
exercise of the Warrants; provided, however, that if the shares of Common
Stock are to be delivered in a name other than the name of the Registered
Holder of the Warrant Certificate representing any Warrant being exercised,
then no such delivery shall be made unless the person requesting the same has
paid to the Warrant Agent the amount of transfer taxes or charges incident
thereto, if any.
(d) The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized for such
time as it is acting as such to requisition the Company's Transfer Agent
from time to time for certificates representing shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and the Company will authorize the
Transfer Agent to comply with all such proper requisitions. The Company will
file with the Warrant Agent a statement setting forth the name and address of
the Transfer Agent of the Company for shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants.
6. Exchange and Registration of Transfer.
--------------------------------------
(a) Warrant Certificates may be exchanged for other Warrant
Certificates representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants of the same
class or may be transferred in whole or in part. Warrant Certificates to be
exchanged shall be surrendered to the Warrant Agent at its Corporate Office,
and upon satisfaction of the terms and provisions hereof, the Company shall
execute and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, issue, and deliver in
exchange therefor the Warrant Certificate or Certificates which the
Registered Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive.
(b) The Warrant Agent shall keep at its office books in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall register
Warrant Certificates and the transfer thereof in accordance with its regular
practice. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant
Certificate at such office, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent
shall issue and
7
deliver to the transferee or transferees a new Warrant Certificate or
Certificates representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants.
(c) With respect to all Warrant Certificates presented for
registration or transfer, or for exchange or exercise, the subscription form
on the reverse thereof shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer and subscription, in form satisfactory
to the Company and the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the Registered Holder
or his attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.
(d) A service charge may be imposed by the Warrant Agent for any
exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates. In addition,
the Company may require payment by such holder of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
therewith.
(e) All Warrant Certificates surrendered for exercise or for
exchange in case of mutilated Warrant Certificates shall be promptly canceled
by the Warrant Agent and thereafter retained by the Warrant Agent until
termination of this Agreement or resignation as Warrant Agent, or disposed of
or destroyed, at the direction of the Company.
(f) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer thereof,
the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Registered Holder of
any Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof and of each Warrant
represented thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing
thereon made by anyone other than a duly authorized officer of the Company or
the Warrant Agent) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice
to the contrary. The Warrants which are being publicly offered in Units with
shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement will be
immediately detachable from the Common Stock and transferable separately
therefrom.
7. Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company and the Warrant
Agent of evidence satisfactory to them of the ownership of and loss, theft,
destruction, or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate and (in case of loss,
theft, or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to them, and (in the case of
mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company shall
execute and the Warrant Agent shall (in the absence of notice to the
8
Company and/or Warrant Agent that the Warrant Certificate has been acquired
by a bona fide purchaser) countersign and deliver to the Registered Holder in
lieu thereof a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor representing an equal
aggregate number of Warrants. Applicants for a substitute Warrant
Certificate shall comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such
other reasonable charges as the Warrant Agent may prescribe.
8. Redemption.
-----------
(a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2(e) hereof, the
Warrants are redeemable by the Company for $.05 per Warrant, on not less than
thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days written notice if the closing
bid price for the Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share during any
thirty (30) consecutive trading day period ending not more than fifteen (15)
days prior to the date that the notice of redemption is mailed, and provided
there is then a current effective registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") with respect to the issuance and sale of
Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants. Any redemption of the
Warrants during the one-year period commencing on the date of the Prospectus
shall require the written consent of Xxxxxx Xxxxx.
(b) If the conditions set forth in Section 8(a) are met, and the
Company desires to exercise its right to redeem the Warrants, it shall mail a
notice of redemption to each of the Registered Holders of the Warrants to be
redeemed, first class, postage prepaid, not later than the thirtieth day
before the date fixed for redemption, at their last address as shall appear
on the records maintained pursuant to Section 6(b). Any notice mailed in the
manner provided herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given
whether or not the Registered Holder receives such notice.
(c) The notice of redemption shall specify (i) the redemption
price, (ii) the date fixed for redemption, (iii) the place where the Warrant
Certificates shall be delivered and the redemption price paid, and (iv) that
the right to exercise the Warrant shall terminate at 5:00 P.M. (New York
time) on the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for
redemption. The date fixed for the redemption of the Warrants shall be the
Redemption Date. No failure to mail such notice nor any defect
9
therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the
proceedings for such redemption except as to a Registered Holder (a) to whom
notice was not mailed or (b) whose notice was defective and then only to the
extent that the Registered Holder is prejudiced thereby. An affidavit of the
Warrant Agent or of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company
that notice of redemption has been mailed shall, in the absence of fraud, be
prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
(d) Any right to exercise a Warrant shall terminate at 5:00 P.M.
(New York time) on the business day immediately preceding the Redemption
Date. On and after the Redemption Date, Holders of the Warrants shall have
no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrant, the
Redemption Price.
(e) From and after the Redemption Date specified for, the Company
shall, at the place specified in the notice of redemption, upon presentation
and surrender to the Company by or on behalf of the Registered Holder thereof
of one or more Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants to be redeemed,
deliver or cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of such Holder
a sum in cash equal to the redemption price of each such Warrant. From and
after the Redemption Date and upon the deposit or setting aside by the
Company of a sum sufficient to redeem all the Warrants called for redemption,
such Warrants shall expire and become void and all rights hereunder and under
the Warrant Certificates, except the right to receive payment of the
redemption price, shall cease.
(f) If the shares of the Company's Common Stock are subdivided or
combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the
Target Price shall be proportionally adjusted by the ratio which the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event
bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding
immediately after such event.
9. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares of Common Stock or
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Warrants.
---------
(a) Subject to the exceptions referred to in Section 9(g) below, in
the event the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date
hereof, sell any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less
than the Market Price of the
10
Common Stock (as defined in Section 8) on the date of the sale or issue any
shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend to the holders of Common Stock, or
subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or
lesser number of shares (any such sale, issuance, subdivision, or combination
being herein called a "Change of Shares"), then, and thereafter upon each
further Change of Shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to
such Change of Shares shall be changed to a price (including any applicable
fraction of a cent) determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the issuance of such additional shares and the number of shares of Common
Stock which the aggregate consideration received (determined as provided in
subsection 9(f) below) for the issuance of such additional shares would
purchase at such current market price per share of Common Stock, and the
denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after the issuance of such additional shares. Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made.
Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this
Section 9, the total number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant shall (subject to the provisions contained in
Section 9(b) hereof) be such number of shares (calculated to the nearest
tenth) purchasable at the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the
denominator of which shall be the Purchase Price in effect immediately after
such adjustment.
(b) The Company may elect, upon any adjustment of the Purchase
Price hereunder, to adjust the number of Warrants outstanding, in lieu of the
adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant as hereinabove provided, so that each Warrant
outstanding after such adjustment shall represent the right to purchase one
share of Common Stock. Each Warrant held of record prior to such adjustment
of the number of Warrants shall become that number of Warrants (calculated to
the nearest tenth) determined by multiplying the number one by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the Purchase Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment and
11
the denominator of which shall be the Purchase Price in effect immediately
after such adjustment. Upon each adjustment of the number of Warrants
pursuant to this Section 9, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable,
cause to be distributed to each Registered Holder of Warrant Certificates on
the date of such adjustment Warrant Certificates evidencing, subject to
Section 10 hereof, the number of additional Warrants to which such Holder
shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment or, at the option of the
Company, cause to be distributed to such Holder in substitution and
replacement for the Warrant Certificates held by him prior to the date of
adjustment (and upon surrender thereof, if required by the Company) new
Warrant Certificates evidencing the number of Warrants to which such Holder
shall be entitled after such adjustment.
(c) In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or
other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or in case of any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation
(other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, capital
reorganization, or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in
case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the
Company as, or substantially as, an entirety (other than a sale/leaseback,
mortgage, or other financing transaction), the Company shall cause effective
provision to be made so that each holder of a warrant then outstanding shall
have the right thereafter, by exercising such Warrant, to purchase the kind
and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including
cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization, or other
change, consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance by a holder of the number
of shares of Common Stock that might have been purchased upon exercise of
such Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, capital
reorganization, or other change, consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance.
Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments that shall be as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
this Section 9. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger,
or sale unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the
successor (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or
merger or the corporation purchasing assets or other appropriate corporation
or entity shall assume, by written instrument executed and delivered
12
to the Warrant Agent, the obligation to deliver to the holder of each Warrant
such shares of stock, securities, or assets as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to purchase and the other
obligations under this Agreement. The foregoing provisions shall similarly
apply to successive reclassification, capital reorganizations, and other
changes of outstanding shares of Common Stock and to successive
consolidations, mergers, sales, or conveyances.
(d) Irrespective of any adjustments or changes in the Purchase
Price or the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of
the Warrants, the Warrant Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued
shall, unless the Company shall exercise its option to issue new Warrant
Certificates pursuant to Section 2(d) hereof, continue to express the
Purchase Price per share, the number of shares purchasable thereunder, and
the Redemption Price therefor as the Purchase Price per share, and the number
of shares purchasable and the Redemption Price therefore were expressed in
the Warrant Certificates when the same were originally issued.
(e) After each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this
Section 9, the Company will promptly prepare a certificate signed by the
President or a Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer
or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, of the Company setting forth: (i)
the Purchase Price as so adjusted, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant after such adjustment, and, if the
Company shall have elected to adjust the number of Warrants, the number of
Warrants to which the registered holder of each Warrant shall then be
entitled, and the adjustment in Redemption Price resulting therefrom, and
(iii) a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment. The
Company will promptly file such certificate with the Warrant Agent and cause
a brief summary thereof to be sent by ordinary first class mail to Xxxxxx
Xxxxx and to each registered holder of Warrants at his last address as it
shall appear on the registry books of the Warrant Agent. No failure to mail
such notice nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the
validity thereof except as to the holder to whom the Company failed to mail
such notice, or except as to the holder whose notice was defective. The
affidavit of an officer of the Warrant Agent or the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary of the Company that such notice has been mailed shall, in
13
the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
(f) For purposes of Section 9(a) and 9(b) hereof, the following
provisions (i) to (vii) shall also be applicable:
(i) The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any
given time shall include shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the
account of the Company and the sale or issuance of such treasury shares or
the distribution of any such treasury shares shall not be considered a Change
of Shares for purposes of said sections.
(ii) No adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made unless
such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least $.10 in
such price; provided that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection
(ii) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made
at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which,
together with any adjustment(s) so carried forward, shall require an increase
or decrease of at least $.10 in the Purchase Price then in effect hereunder.
(iii) In case of (1) the sale by the Company for cash of any
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase, or any options for the
purchase of, Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Stock without the payment of any further consideration other than
cash, if any (such convertible or exchangeable securities being herein called
"Convertible Securities"), or (2) the issuance by the Company, without the
receipt by the Company of any consideration therefor, of any rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase, or any options for the purchase of,
Common Stock or Convertible Securities, in each case, if (and only if) the
consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of such rights,
warrants, or options shall consist of cash, whether or not such rights,
warrants, or options, or the right to convert or exchange such Convertible
Securities, are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which
Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such rights, warrants, or
options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities
(determined by dividing (x) the minimum aggregate consideration payable to
the Company upon the exercise of such rights, warrants, or options, plus the
14
consideration received by the Company for the issuance or sale of such
rights, warrants, or options, plus, in the case of such Convertible
Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any,
other than such Convertible Securities, payable upon the conversion or
exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of such rights, warrants, or options or upon the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the
exercise of such rights, warrants, or options) is less than the fair market
value of the Common Stock on the date of the issuance or sale of such rights,
warrants, or options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of such rights, warrants, or options or upon the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (as of the date of the
issuance or sale of such rights, warrants, or options) shall be deemed to be
outstanding shares of Common Stock for purposes of Sections 9(a) and 9(b)
hereof and shall be deemed to have been sold for cash in an amount equal to
such price per share.
(iv) In case of the sale by the Company for cash of any
Convertible Securities, whether or not the right of conversion or exchange
thereunder is immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which
Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities (determined by dividing (x) the total amount of consideration
received by the Company for the sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the
minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, other than such
Convertible Securities, payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by
(y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities) is less than the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date of the sale of such Convertible
Securities, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (as of the
date of the sale of such Convertible Securities) shall be deemed to be
outstanding shares of Common Stock for purposes of Sections 9(a) and 9(b)
hereof and shall be deemed to have been sold for cash in an amount equal to
such price per share.
(v) In case the Company shall modify the rights of conversion,
exchange, or exercise of any of the securities referred to in subsection
(iii) above or any other securities of the Company convertible, exchangeable,
or exercisable for shares of Common
15
Stock, for any reason other than an event that would require adjustment to
prevent dilution, so that the consideration per share received by the Company
after such modification is less than the market price on the date prior to
such modification, the Purchase Price to be in effect after such modification
shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately
prior to such event by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the market price on the
date prior to the modification plus the number of shares of Common Stock
which the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company for the
securities affected by the modification would purchase at the market price
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on such date plus the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued upon conversion, exchange, or exercise of the modified securities at
the modified rate. Such adjustment shall become effective as of the date
upon which such modification shall take effect.
(vi) On the expiration of any such right, warrant, or option or
the termination of any such right to convert or exchange any such Convertible
Securities, the Purchase Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be
readjusted to such Purchase Price as would have obtained (a) had the
adjustments made upon the issuance or sale of such rights, warrants, options,
or Convertible Securities been made upon the basis of the issuance of only
the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore actually delivered (and the
total consideration received therefor) upon the exercise of such rights,
warrants, or options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities and (b) had adjustments been made on the basis of the Purchase
Price as adjusted under clause (a) for all transactions (which would have
affected such adjusted Purchase Price) made after the issuance or sale of
such rights, warrants, options, or Convertible Securities.
(vii) In case of the sale for cash of any shares of Common
Stock, any Convertible Securities, any rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or Convertible
Securities, the consideration received by the Company therefore shall be
deemed to be the gross sales price therefor without deducting therefrom any
expense paid or incurred by the Company or any underwriting discounts
16
or commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection
therewith.
(g) No adjustment to the Purchase Price of the Warrants or to the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each
Warrant will be made, however,
(i) upon the sale or exercise of the Warrants, including
without limitation the sale or exercise of any of the Warrants or Common
Stock comprising the Purchase Option; or
(ii) upon the sale of any shares of Common Stock in the
Company's initial public offering, including, without limitation, shares sold
upon the exercise of any over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters in
connection with such offering; or
(iii) upon the issuance or sale of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities upon the exercise of any rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or Convertible
Securities, whether or not such rights, warrants, or options were outstanding
on the date of the original sale of the Warrants or were thereafter issued or
sold; or
(iv) upon the issuance or sale of Common Stock upon conversion
or exchange of any Convertible Securities, whether or not any adjustment in
the Purchase Price was made or required to be made upon the issuance or sale
of such Convertible Securities and whether or not such Convertible Securities
were outstanding on the date of the original sale of the Warrants or were
thereafter issued or sold; or
(v) upon the issuance or sale of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities in a private placement unless the issuance or sale price is less
than 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of
issuance, in which case the adjustment shall only be for the difference
between 85% of the fair market value and the issue or sale price;
(vi) upon the issuance or sale of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities to shareholders of any corporation which merges and/or
consolidates into or is acquired by the Company or from which the Company
acquires assets and some or all of the
17
consideration consists of equity securities of the Company, in proportion to
their stock holdings of such corporation immediately prior to the acquisition
but only if no adjustment is required pursuant to any other provision of this
Section 9;
(vii) upon the issuance or exercise of options granted to the
Company's directors, employees or consultants under a plan or plans adopted
by the Company's Board of Directors and approved by its stockholders (but
only to the extent that the aggregate number of shares excluded hereby and
issued after the date hereof shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the
Company's Common Stock at the time of issuance);
(viii) upon the issuance of Common Stock to the Company's
directors, employees or consultants under a plan or plans which are qualified
under the Internal Revenue Code; or
(ix) upon the issuance of Common Stock in a bona fide public
offering pursuant to a firm commitment underwriting.
(h) Intentionally Omitted.
(i) Any determination as to whether an adjustment in the Purchase
Price in effect hereunder is required pursuant to Section 9, or as to the
amount of any such adjustment, if required, shall be binding upon the holders
of the Warrants and the Company if made in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
(j) If and whenever the Company shall grant to the holders of
Common Stock, as such, rights or warrants to subscribe for or to purchase, or
any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or securities convertible into
or exchangeable for or carrying a right, warrant, or option to purchase
Common Stock, the Company shall concurrently therewith grant to each
Registered Holder as of the record date for such transaction of the Warrants
then outstanding, the rights, warrants, or options to which each Registered
Holder would have been entitled if, on the record date used to determine the
stockholders entitled to the rights, warrants, or options being granted by
the Company, the Registered Holder were the holder of record of the number of
whole shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise (assuming, for
purposes of this section 9(j), that exercise of warrants is permissible
during periods prior to the Initial Warrant Exercise Date) of his
18
Warrants. Such grant by the Company to the holders of the Warrants shall be
in lieu of any adjustment which otherwise might be called for pursuant to
this Section 9.
10. Fractional Warrants and Fractional Shares.
------------------------------------------
(a) If the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the
Company nevertheless shall not be required to issue fractions of shares, upon
exercise of the Warrants or otherwise, or to distribute certificates that
evidence fractional shares. In such event, the Company may at its option
elect to round up the number of shares to which the Holder is entitled to the
nearest whole share or to pay cash in respect of fractional shares in
accordance with the following: With respect to any fraction of a share
called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an
amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the current market value
of such fractional share, determined as follows:
(i) 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 Quotation System or the NASD Bulletin Board,
the current value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock
on such exchange 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
(ii) If the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges, the current value shall be the mean of the last reported
bid and asked prices reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. or the
NASD Bulletin Board on the last business day prior to the date of the
exercise of this Warrant; or
(iii) 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 value shall be an amount determined in such reasonable manner as may
be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Company.
11. Warrant Holders Not Deemed Stockholders. No holder of Warrants
shall, as such, be entitled to vote or to receive
19
dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock that may at any time be
issuable upon exercise of such Warrants for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall
anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of Warrants,
as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to
vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to
stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any
corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issue or
reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par
value, consolidation, merger, or conveyance or otherwise), or to receive
notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights, until
such Holder shall have exercised such Warrants and been issued shares of
Common Stock in accordance with the provisions hereof.
12. Rights of Action. All rights of action with respect to this
Agreement are vested in the respective Registered Holders of the Warrants,
and any Registered Holder of a Warrant, without consent of the Warrant Agent
or of the holder of any other Warrant, may, in his own behalf and for his own
benefit, enforce against the Company his right to exercise his Warrants for
the purchase of shares of Common Stock in the manner provided in the Warrant
Certificate and this Agreement.
13. Agreement of Warrant Holders. Every holder of a Warrant, by his
acceptance thereof, consents and agrees with the Company, the Warrant Agent
and every other holder of a warrant that:
(a) The warrants are transferable only on the registry books of the
Warrant Agent by the Registered Holder thereof in person or by his attorney
duly authorized in writing and only if the Warrant Certificates representing
such Warrants are surrendered at the office of the Warrant Agent, duly
endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer satisfactory to
the Warrant Agent and the Company in their mutual discretion, together with
payment of any applicable transfer taxes; and
(b) The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person
in whose name the Warrant Certificate is registered as the holder and as the
absolute, true, and lawful owner of the Warrants represented thereby for all
purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by
any notice or
20
knowledge to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section
7 hereof.
14. Cancellation of Warrant Certificates. If the Company shall purchase
or acquire any Warrant or Warrants, the Warrant Certificate or Warrant
Certificates evidencing the same shall thereupon be delivered to the Warrant
Agent and canceled by it and retired. The Warrant Agent shall also cancel
Common Stock following exercise of any or all of the Warrants represented
thereby or delivered to it for transfer, split up, combination, or exchange.
15. Concerning the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent acts hereunder as
agent and in a ministerial capacity for the Company, and its duties shall be
determined solely by the provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent shall not, by
issuing and delivering Warrant Certificates or by any other act hereunder be
deemed to make any representations as to the validity, value, or
authorization of the Warrant Certificates or the Warrants represented thereby
or of any securities or other property delivered upon exercise of any Warrant
or whether any stock issued upon exercise of any Warrant is fully paid and
nonassessable.
The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or
responsibility to any holder of Warrant Certificates to make or cause to be
made any adjustment of the Purchase Price or the Redemption Price provided in
this Agreement, or to determine whether any fact exists which may require any
such adjustments, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such
adjustment, when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the
same. It shall not (i) be liable for any recital or statement of facts
contained herein or for any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it in
reliance on any warrant Certificate or other document or instrument believed
by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties, (ii) be responsible for any failure on the part of
the Company to comply with any of its covenants and obligations contained in
this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate, or (iii) be liable for any act
or omission in connection with this Agreement except for its own negligence
or wilful misconduct.
The Warrant Agent may at any time consult with counsel satisfactory
to it (who may be counsel for the Company) and shall
21
incur no liability or responsibility for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it in good faith in accordance with the opinion or advice of such
counsel.
Any notice, statement, instruction, request, direction, order, or
demand of the Company shall be sufficiently evidenced by an instrument signed
by the President, any Vice President, its Secretary, or Assistant Secretary,
(unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed).
The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it in accordance with such notice, statement, instruction,
request, direction, order, or demand reasonably believed by it to be genuine.
The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable compensation
for its services hereunder and to reimburse it for its reasonable expenses
hereunder; it further agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it
harmless against any and all losses, expenses, and liabilities, including
judgments, costs, and counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the
Warrant Agent in the execution of its duties and powers hereunder except
losses, expenses, and liabilities arising as a result of the Warrant Agent's
negligence or wilful misconduct.
The Warrant Agent may resign its duties and be discharged from all
further duties and liabilities hereunder (except liabilities arising as a
result of the Warrant Agent's own negligence or wilful misconduct), after
giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company. At least
fifteen (15) days prior to the date such resignation is to become effective,
the Warrant Agent shall cause a copy of such notice of resignation to be
mailed to the Registered Holder of each Warrant Certificate at the Company's
expense. Upon such resignation, or any inability of the Warrant Agent to act
as such hereunder, the Company shall appoint a new warrant agent in writing.
If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of fifteen
(15) days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation by the
resigning Warrant Agent, then the Registered Holder of any Warrant
Certificate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of
New York for the appointment of a new warrant agent. Any new warrant agent,
whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be a bank or trust
company having a capital and surplus, as shown by its last published report
to its stockholders,
22
of not less than $10,000,000 or a stock transfer company. After acceptance
in writing of such appointment by the new warrant agent is received by the
Company, such new warrant agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights,
duties, and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as the
Warrant Agent, without any further assurance, conveyance, act, or deed; but
if for any reason it shall be necessary or expedient to execute and deliver
any further assurance, conveyance, act, or deed, the same shall be done at
the expense of the Company and shall be legally and validly executed and
delivered by the resigning Warrant Agent. Not later than the effective date
of any such appointment the Company shall file notice thereof with the
resigning Warrant Agent and shall forthwith cause a copy of such notice to be
mailed to the Registered Holder of each Warrant Certificate.
Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent or any new warrant
agent may be converted or merged or any corporation resulting from any
consolidation to which the Warrant Agent or any new warrant agent shall be a
party or any corporation succeeding to the trust business of the Warrant
Agent shall be a successor warrant agent under this Agreement without any
further act, provided that such corporation is eligible for appointment as
successor to the Warrant Agent under the provisions of the preceding
paragraph. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of
its succession as warrant agent to be mailed to the Company and to the
Registered Holder of each Warrant Certificate.
The Warrant Agent, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and any of its
or their officers or directors, may buy and hold or sell Warrants or other
securities of the Company and otherwise deal with the Company in the same
manner and to the same extent and with like effects as though it were not the
Warrant Agent. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting
in any other capacity for the Company if so authorized by the Company or for
any other legal entity.
16. Modification of Agreement. The Warrant Agent and the Company may by
supplemental agreement make any changes or corrections in this Agreement (i)
that they shall deem appropriate to cure any ambiguity or to correct any
defective or inconsistent provision or manifest mistake or error herein
contained; or (ii) that they may deem necessary or desirable and which shall
not
23
adversely affect the interests of the holders of Warrant Certificates;
provided, however, that this Agreement shall not otherwise be modified,
supplemented, or altered in any respect except with the consent in writing of
the Registered Holders of Warrant Certificates representing not less than
fifty percent (50%) of the Warrants then outstanding; and provided, further,
that no change in the number or nature of the securities purchasable upon the
exercise of any Warrant, or the Purchase Price therefor, or the acceleration
of the Warrant Expiration Date, shall be made without the consent in writing
of the Registered Holder of the Warrant Certificate representing such
Warrant, other than such changes as are specifically prescribed by this
Agreement as originally executed or are made in compliance with applicable
law.
17. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been made when
delivered or mailed first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid
as follows: if to the Registered Holder of a Warrant Certificate, at the
address of such holder as shown on the registry books maintained by the
Warrant Agent; if to the Company, 00000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000,
Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, or at such other
address as may have been furnished to the Warrant Agent in writing by the
Company; and if to the Warrant Agent, at its corporate office.
18. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to
principles of conflict of laws.
19. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Company and the Warrant Agent, and their respective
successors and assigns, and the holders from time to time of Warrant
Certificates. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to
confer upon any other person any right, remedy, or claim, in equity or at
law, or to impose upon any other person any duty, liability, or obligation.
20. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at the close of
business on the Warrant Expiration Date of all the Warrants or such earlier
date upon which all Warrants have been exercised, except that the Warrant
Agent shall account to the Company for cash held by it and the provisions of
Section 15 hereof shall survive such termination.
24
21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts,
which taken together shall constitute a single document.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed as of the date first above written.

Void after ______ , 2002
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT CERTIFICATE FOR PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK
e-Net, INC.
This certifies that For Value Received
or registered assigns (the "Registered Holder") is the owner of the number of
Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants ("Warrants") specified above. Each
Warrant initially entitles the Registered Holder to purchase, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in this Certificate and the Warrant Agreement
(as hereinafter defined), one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common
Stock, $.01 par value ("Common Stock"), of e-Net, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), at any time between the Initial Warrant Exercise
Date (as herein defined) and the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined),
upon the presentation and surrender of this Warrant Certificate with the
Subscription Form on the reverse hereof duly executed, at the corporate
office of AMERICAN STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY as Warrant Agent, or its
successor (the "Warrant Agent"), accompanied by payment of 5.25(the "Purchase
Price") in lawful money of the United States of America in cash or by
official bank or certified check made payable to e-Net, Inc.
This Warrant Certificate and each Warrant represented hereby are issued
pursuant to and are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions set
forth in the Warrant Agreement (the "Warrant Agreement") dated _______ ,
1997, by and between the Company and the Warrant Agent.
In the event of certain contingencies provided for in the Warrant
Agreement, the Purchase Price or the number of shares of Common Stock subject
to purchase upon the exercise of each Warrant represented hereby are subject
to modifications or adjustment.
Each Warrant represented hereby is exercisable at the option of the
Registered Holder, but no fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued.
In the case of the exercise of less than all the Warrants represented hereby,
the Company shall cancel this Warrant Certificate upon the surrender hereof
and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant
Certificates of like tenor, which the Warrant Agent shall countersign, for
the balance of such Warrants.
The term "Initial Warrant Exercise Date" shall mean ______, 1997.
The term "Expiration Date" shall mean 5:00 p.m. (New York time on August
______, 2002, or such earlier date as the Warrants shall be redeemed. If such

York time) the next following day which in the State of New York is not a
holiday or a day on which banks are authorized to close.
The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any securities pursuant to
the exercise of this Warrant unless a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to such securities is
effective. The Company has covenanted and agreed that it will file a
registration statement and will use its best efforts to cause the same to
become effective and to keep such registration statement current while any of
the Warrants are outstanding. This Warrant shall not be exercisable by a
Registered Holder in any state where such exercise would be unlawful.
This Warrant Certificate is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by
the Registered Holder at the corporate office of the Warrant Agent, for a new
Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor representing an
equal aggregate number of Warrants, each of such new Warrant Certificates to
represent such number of Warrants as shall be designated by such Registered
Holder at the time of such surrender. Upon due presentment with any transfer
fee in addition to any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection
therewith, for registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate at such
office, a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates representing an
equal aggregate number of Warrants will be issued to the transferee in
exchange therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant
Agreement.
Prior to the exercise of any Warrant represented hereby, the Registered
Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the Company,
including, without limitation, the right to vote or to
2
receive dividends or other distributions, and shall not be entitled to
receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided in
the Warrant Agreement.
The Warrants are redeemable by the Company for $.05 per Warrant, on not
less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days written notice if
the closing bid price for the Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share
during any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period ending not more than
fifteen (15) days prior to the date that the notice of redemption is mailed,
and provided there is then a current effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") with respect to the
issuance and sale of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants. Any
redemption of the Warrants during the one-year period commencing on the date
of the Prospectus shall require the written consent of Xxxxxx Xxxxx.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer hereof, the Company
and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Registered Holder as the
absolute owner hereof and of each Warrant represented hereby (notwithstanding
any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than a duly
authorized officer of the Company or the Warrant Agent) for all purposes and
shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.
This Warrant Certificate is not valid unless countersigned by the Warrant
Agent.
