Price is paid by a promissory note, the certificate or certificates
will be held in escrow until the note is paid in full.
3. Adjustments for Anti-Diluting Issues; Fractional Share Payments; Taxes.
3.1 Adjustment for Subdivisions and Certain Dividends and Distributions. If
the Company shall at any time (i) make subdivision of shares of Common
Stock outstanding or (ii) pay a dividend or make a distribution in
shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior
to such action shall be proportionately decreased, and the number of
Shares which may be purchased hereunder shall be proportionately
increased. If the Company shall at any time reduce the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding, by combination or otherwise, the Purchase
Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased and the number of Shares which may be
purchased hereunder shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment
made pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall, in the case of a subdivision
or combination, become effective as of the effective date thereof, and
shall, in the case of a dividend or distribution, become effective as
of the close of business of the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled thereto.
3.2 Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the
Company at any time or from time to time shall make or issue, or fix a
record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of
the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such
event provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant shall
receive upon exercise of this Warrant the amount of securities of the
Company that it would have received had this Warrant been converted
into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during
the period from the date of such event to and including the exercise
date, retained such securities receivable by it as aforesaid during
such period, giving application to all other adjustments called for
during such period under this Section 3 with respect to the rights of
the holder of this Warrant.
3.3 Adjustment for Reorganizations, Reclassifications and Other Changes. If
the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be
changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or
classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification
or otherwise (other than a merger, consolidation or sale of assets as
provided in Section 3.4 below, or a subdivision or combination of
shares or stock dividend provided for in Section 3.1 above, or a
reorganization provided for in Section 3.4 below), then and in each
such event the holder of this
Warrant shall have the right thereafter to convert this Warrant into
the kind and amounts of shares of stock and other securities and
property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other
change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which
this Warrant might have been converted immediately prior to such
reorganization, reclassification or change, all subject to further
adjustment as provided herein.
3.4 Adjustment for Mergers, Considerations or Sales of Assets. If at any
time or from time to time there shall be a capital reorganization of
the Company's capital stock (other than a subdivision, combination,
reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this
Section 3) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all the
Company's properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of
such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be
made so that the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to
receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of stock or
other securities of property of the Company, or of the successor
corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation or sale, to
which a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock deliverable
upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled on such capital
reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale. In any such case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the
provisions of this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the Holder
of this Warrant after the reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale
to the end that the provisions of this Section 3 (including adjustment
of the Purchase Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be applicable after that event as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
3.5 Adjustment for Sales Below Purchase Price. For purposes of this Section
3.5, "ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK" shall mean all shares of
Common Stock issued or deemed issued by the Company after the date
hereof, whether or not subsequently reacquired or retired by the
Company, excluding (i) shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of
this Warrant; and (ii) up to 4,882,776 shares of Common Stock (as
adjusted for all stock dividends, stock splits, subdivisions and
combinations) issued to employees, officers, directors, consultants or
other persons performing services for the Company (if so issued solely
because of any such person's status as an officer, director, employee,
consultant or other person performing services for the Company and not
as part of any offering of the Company's securities) pursuant to any
warrant, stock option plan, stock purchase plan, management incentive
plan, consulting agreement or arrangement or other contract or
undertaking approved by the Board.
(1) If at any time or from time to time the Company shall
issue or sell Additional Shares of Common Stock, other than
pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 above, for a
consideration per share less than the then existing Purchase
Price, then and in each case the then existing Purchase Price
shall be reduced, as of the opening of business on the date of
such issue or sale, to a price determined by multiplying the
existing Purchase Price by a fraction (A) the numerator of
which shall be (x) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (y)
the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate
consideration received by the Company for the total number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at
such Purchase Price, and (B) the denominator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such issue or sale plus the number of such Additional
Shares of Common Stock so issued. In addition, upon each
adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3.5
(1), the number of Shares of Common Stock purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall also be adjusted to that number
of Shares of Common Stock obtained by multiplying (i) the
number of Shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately prior
to such adjustment upon exercise of this Warrant; by (ii) the
Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment; and,
dividing the product so obtained by the new Purchase Price.
(2) For the purpose of making any adjustment in the
Purchase Price or number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
on exercise of this Warrant as provided above, the
consideration received by the Company for any issue or sale of
securities shall:
(A) to the extent it consists of cash, be
computed at the net amount of cash received by the
Company after deduction of any underwriting or
similar commissions, concessions or compensation paid
or allowed by the Company in connection with such
issue or sale;
(B) to the extent it consists of services or
property other than cash, be computed at the fair
value of such services or property as determined in
good faith by the Board; and
(C) if Additional Shares of Common Stock,
Convertible Securities (as hereinafter defined), or
rights or options to purchase either Additional
Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are
issued or sold together with other stock or
securities or other assets of the Company for a
consideration that covers both, be computed as the
portion of the consideration so received that may be
reasonably determined in good faith by the Board to
be allocable to such Additional Shares of Common
Stock, Convertible Securities or rights or options.
(3) For the purpose of the adjustment provided in Section
3.5(1), if the Company shall issue any rights or options for
the purchase of, or stock or other securities convertible
into, Additional Shares of Common Stock (such convertible
stock or securities being hereinafter referred to as
"CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES"), then, in each case, if the
Effective Price (as hereinafter defined) of such rights,
options or Convertible Securities shall be less than the then
existing Purchase Price, the Company shall be deemed to have
issued at the time of the issuance of such rights or options
or Convertible Securities the maximum number of Additional
Shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise
thereof and to have received as consideration for the issuance
of such shares an amount equal to the total amount of the
consideration, if any, received by the Company for the
issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities,
plus, in the case of such options or rights, the minimum
amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon
exercise or conversion of such options or rights. For purposes
of the foregoing, "EFFECTIVE PRICE" shall mean the quotient
determined by dividing the total of all such consideration by
such maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock. No
further adjustment of the Purchase Price adjusted upon the
issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities
shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of Additional
Shares of Common Stock on the exercise of any such rights or
options or the conversion of any such Convertible Securities.
If any such rights or options or the conversion privilege
represented by any such Convertible Securities shall expire
without having been exercised, the Purchase Price adjusted
upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible
Securities shall be readjusted to the Purchase Price that
would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the
basis that the only Additional Shares of Common Stock so
issued were the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any,
actually issued or sold on the exercise of such rights or
options, or rights of conversion of such Convertible
Securities, and such Additional Shares of Common Stock, if
any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually
received by the Company upon such exercise, plus the
consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for
the granting of all such rights and options, whether or not
exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or
selling the Convertible Securities actually converted plus the
consideration, if any, actually received by the Company on the
conversion of such Convertible Securities.
(4) For the purpose of the adjustment provided for in
Section 3.5(1), if the Company shall issue any rights or
options for the purchase of Convertible Securities, then in
each such case, if the Effective Price thereof is less than
the existing Purchase Price, the Company shall be deemed to
have issued at the time of the issuance of such rights or
options the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the total amount of
Convertible Securities covered by such rights or options and
to have received as consideration for the issuance of such
Additional Shares of Common Stock an amount equal to the
amount of consideration, if any, received by the Company for
the issuance of such rights or options, plus the minimum
amounts of
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the
conversion of such Convertible Securities. For the purposes of
the foregoing, "EFFECTIVE PRICE" shall mean the quotient
determined by dividing the total amount of such consideration
by such maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
No further adjustment of such Purchase Price adjusted upon the
issuance of such rights or options shall be made as a result
of the actual issuance of the Convertible Securities upon the
exercise of such rights or options or upon the actual issuance
of Additional Shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of
such Convertible Securities. The provisions of Section 3.5(3)
for the readjustment of such Purchase Price upon the
expiration of rights or options or the rights of conversion of
Convertible Securities, shall apply mutatis mutandis to the
rights, options and Convertible Securities referred to in this
Section 3.5(4).
3.6 Fractional Share Payment. No fractional shares or script representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant and
if the exercise of this Warrant results in a fraction, in lieu of any
such fractional share the Company shall pay cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the then effective Purchase Price.
3.7 Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Investor
for any tax in respect of the issuance of such certificates, and such
certificates shall be issued in the respective names of, or in such
names as may be directed by, the Investor; provided, however, 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
such certificate in the name other than that of the Investor, and the
Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates
unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof
shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have
establish to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been
paid.
3.8 Accountant's Certificate as to Adjustments. In the case of any
adjustment or readjustment in the Purchase Price or number of shares of
Common Stock issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at
its expense will promptly cause independent certified public
accountants of recognized standing selected by the Company to compute
such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or
readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment
or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the
consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional
shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or
sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to
be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price in effect and number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable
immediately prior to such issue or sale and as each is adjusted and
readjusted on account thereof. The Company will forthwith mail a copy
of each such certificate to Investor.
4. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its
certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of
assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities
or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times
in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the
taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
to protect the rights of the holders of this Warrant against dilution
or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of stock
receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable
therefor on such exercise, (b) will at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized capital stock, solely for the purpose
of issue upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, such number
of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant in full and shall take all such action as may be necessary
or appropriate in order that all shares of Common Stock that shall be
so issuable shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect
to the issue thereof, (c) will not effect a subdivision or split up of
shares or similar transaction with respect to any class of the Common
Stock without effecting an equivalent transaction with respect to all
other classes of Common Stock, and (d) will not issue any capital stock
of any class which is preferred as to dividends or as to the
distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up,
unless the rights of the holders thereof shall be limited to a fixed
sum or percentage of par value in respect of participation in dividends
and in any such distribution of assets.

satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any
such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of the Warrant, the
Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new
Warrant of like tenor; provided, however, if the original Investor is
the registered holder and the Warrant is lost, stolen or destroyed, the
affidavit of the President, Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the
registered holder setting forth the circumstances with respect to such
loss, theft or destruction shall be accepted as satisfactory evidence
thereof, and no indemnity bond or other security shall be required as a
condition to the execution and delivery by the Company of a new Warrant
in replacement of such lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant other than the
registered holder's written agreement to indemnify the Company.
