OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER

WARRANT TO PURCHASE
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
OF
MANARIS CORPORATION
Expires August 3, 2010
No.: W-IB-07- Number of Shares: __________
Date of Issuance: August 3, 2005
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, the
undersigned, Manaris Corporation (f/k/a C-Chip Technologies Corporation), a
Nevada corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"),
hereby certifies that ________________or his registered assigns is entitled to
subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to
__________________________shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided)
of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common
Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price
then in effect, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section
9 hereof.
1. Term. The term of this Warrant shall commence on August 3, 2005 and
shall expire at 6:00 p.m., eastern time, on August 3, 2010 (such period being
the "Term").
2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and
Exchange.
(a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised in whole or in part during the Term.
(b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in
whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form
attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the
-1-
payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the
Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of
shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised, payable at such Holder's election (i) by certified or official bank
check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by
"cashless exercise" in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this
Section 2, (iii) by the surrender and cancellation of all or a portion of the
principal amount plus any accrued but unpaid interest on the Holder's Notes, or
(iv) by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder
of this Warrant.
(c) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
contrary and commencing one (1) year following the Original Issue Date, if (i)
the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the
Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below) and (ii) a
registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the
Warrant Stock is not then in effect, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by
payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and
shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as
determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the
Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed
using the following formula:
X = Y - (A)(Y)
------
B
Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder.
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise
of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is
being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.
A = the Warrant Price.
B = the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock.
(d) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, (i) certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so
purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder
hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such
exercise (the "Delivery Date") or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a
registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the
Warrant Stock is then in effect), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust
Company ("DTC") account on the Holder's behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission System ("DWAC") within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3)
Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all
purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the
date of such exercise and (ii) unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant
representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock, if any, with respect to
which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised (less any amount thereof
which shall have been canceled in payment or partial payment of the Warrant
Price as hereinabove provided) shall also be issued to the Holder hereof at the
Issuer's expense within such time.
-2-
(e) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon
Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer
fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Warrant Stock pursuant to an exercise on or before
the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker
to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock
to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Stock which
the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a "Buy-In"), then the
Issuer shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder's
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the
number of shares of Warrant Stock that the Issuer was required to deliver to the
Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the
sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the
option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent
number of shares of Warrant Stock for which such exercise was not honored or
deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been
issued had the Issuer timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations
hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total
purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted
exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to
such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The
Holder shall provide the Issuer written notice indicating the amounts payable to
the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and
other evidence reasonably requested by the Issuer. Nothing herein shall limit a
Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or
in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Issuer's failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant
as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(f) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(h), this Warrant may
be transferred by a Holder without the consent of the Issuer. If transferred
pursuant to this paragraph and subject to the provisions of subsection (h) of
this Section 2, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by
the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of
this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the
Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of
any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such
transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for
Warrants to purchase the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each
new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant
Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All
Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date
and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares of
Warrant Stock issuable pursuant thereto.
(g) Continuing Rights of Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any
time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,
acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to
-3-
afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant,
provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the
failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such
rights to such Holder.
(h) Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges
that this Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon
exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder's own account and
not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the
Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any
shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant
to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration,
under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and
all certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise
hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the
following form:
THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE
HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY
NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
(iii) The Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates
representing any of the Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above
if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the
Holder shall give written notice to the Issuer upon the occurrence of: (a)
either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration of such
securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with
such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities
Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Issuer with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become effective under the
Securities Act, (iii) the Issuer has received other evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification under
the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required, or (iv) the
Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable assurances that such security
can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either
(i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Issuer, to the effect that registration or qualification under the
securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not required in connection
with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state
securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid exemption
-4-
exists with respect thereto. The Issuer will respond to any such notice
from a holder within three (3) business days. In the case of any proposed
transfer under this Section 2(h), the Issuer will use reasonable efforts
to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws,
but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any
state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would
subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where
it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or "blue
sky" laws of any state for which registration by coordination is
unavailable to the Issuer. The restrictions on transfer contained in this
Section 2(h) shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any
other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this
Warrant. Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required
to be issued to a the Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering
physical certificates representing the Warrant Stock, provided the
Issuer's transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated
Securities Transfer program, the Issuer shall use its reasonable best
efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant
Stock to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's Prime Broker
with DTC through its DWAC system (to the extent not inconsistent with any
provisions of this Warrant).
(i) In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in whole or in part
unless the Holder is an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D under
the Securities Act.
3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Stock Fully Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and
agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the
terms of this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through
the Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period
within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have
authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this
Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least one hundred twenty
percent (120%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to provide for
the exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder
require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any
federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in
good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to
cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list
any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its
expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of,
all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this
Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Stock has
been registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act
then in effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities
exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time
issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed.
The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will
maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant
shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time
any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or
market by the Issuer.
-5-
(c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without
limitation, amending the Articles of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer,
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other 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 actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect
the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically
provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its Common
Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any
provision of the Articles of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any
manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants,
(iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the
Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions
(other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use
its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from
any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably
necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
(d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such
Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the
right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price. The price at which such shares of Warrant
Stock may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall
give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment
pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in
Section 5.
(a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation,
Merger or Sale.
(i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of
the following (each, a "Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate or merge with
or into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or
surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any
other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer
shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such
consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed
into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other
property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or
assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or
reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such
Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis
-6-
and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of
this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after
the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is
not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant
Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such
Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise
of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and
property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the
consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the
rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto (including
the right of a shareholder to elect the type of consideration it will
receive upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to
such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments
provided for elsewhere in this Section 4.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the
contrary, a Triggering Event shall not be deemed to have occurred if,
prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer)
which may be required to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the
exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written
instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of
this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if
the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such
assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from,
any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the
obligation to deliver to such Holder such Securities, cash or property as,
in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), such
Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have similarly
delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person, which
counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, or in the
alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief
Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall
thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof
(including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection
(a)) shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which such
Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the
exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.
(b) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the
Issuer shall:
(i) make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend
payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock,
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
larger number of shares of Common Stock, or
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock,
-7-
then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted
to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to
receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in
effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after
such adjustment.
(c) Certain Other Distributions. If at any time the Issuer shall make or
issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of:
(i) cash (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings
or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the
laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Issuer),
(ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of
any class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever
(other than cash), or
(iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or
purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any
class or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other
than cash),
then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Per
Share Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the
denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount
allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of
the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Issuer and supported by an opinion from an investment banking firm of recognized
national standing acceptable to (but not affiliated with) the Holder) of any and
all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or
property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable,
and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the
Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment
divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common
Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or
from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any
other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders
of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the
meaning of this Section 4(c) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a
part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or
combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
within the meaning of Section 4(b).
-8-
(d) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Issuer
shall at any time following the Original Issue Date issue any Additional Shares
of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (a)
through (c) of this Section 4), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price
then in effect or without consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such
issuance shall be adjusted to the price equal to the consideration per share
paid for such Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(e) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If at any time the Issuer shall
take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling
them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or
by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation)
issue or sell, any Common Stock Equivalents, whether or not the rights to
exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per
share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall
be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such
issue or sale, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the
price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable
thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less
than the Warrant Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment,
then the Warrant Price then in effect upon each such issuance or amendment shall
be adjusted as provided in Section 4(d). No further adjustments of the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant
Price then in effect shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock
upon conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.
(f) Superseding Adjustment. If, at any time after any adjustment of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the
Warrant Price then in effect shall have been made pursuant to Section 4(e) as
the result of any issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, and (i) such Common
Stock Equivalents, or the right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock
Equivalents, shall expire, and all or a portion of such or the right of
conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion of such Common Stock
Equivalents, as the case may be, shall not have been exercised, or (ii) the
consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant
to such Common Stock Equivalents shall be increased, then such previous
adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the Additional Shares of Common
Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the computation made in
connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be
deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation. Upon the occurrence of
an event set forth in this Section 4(f) above, there shall be a recomputation
made of the effect of such Common Stock Equivalents on the basis of: (i)
treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock theretofore actually
issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of Common Stock Equivalents
or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date
or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and
receivable therefor, and (ii) treating any such Common Stock Equivalents which
then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the
time of such increase of the consideration per share for which Additional Shares
of Common Stock are issuable under such Common Stock Equivalents; whereupon a
new adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made, which new
adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.
-9-
(g) Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The
following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the
Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4:
(i) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any Additional
Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants or other
rights therefor) shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration
received by the Issuer therefor shall be the amount of the cash received by the
Issuer therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription price,
or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are
sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription
offering, the initial public offering price (in any such case subtracting any
amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without
taking into account any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by
the Issuer for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the
issuance thereof). In connection with any merger or consolidation in which the
Issuer is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in
which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer shall be
changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another
corporation), the amount of consideration therefore shall be, deemed to be the
fair value of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving
corporation as the Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be. Such determination
of the fair value of such consideration shall be made by an Independent
Appraiser. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable
pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same
shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such warrants or
other rights plus the additional consideration payable to the Issuer upon
exercise of such warrants or other rights. The consideration for any Additional
Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Common Stock
Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing
warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Common Stock
Equivalents, plus the consideration paid or payable to the Issuer in respect of
the subscription for or purchase of such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the
additional consideration, if any, payable to the Issuer upon the exercise of the
right of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents. In the event
of any consolidation or merger of the Issuer in which the Issuer is not the
surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other
securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Issuer for stock or other securities of
any corporation, the Issuer shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of
its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other
corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the
transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market
value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other
property of the other corporation. In the event any consideration received by
the Issuer for any securities consists of property other than cash, the fair
market value thereof at the time of issuance or as otherwise applicable shall be
as determined in good faith by the Board. In the event Common Stock is issued
with other shares or securities or other assets of the Issuer for consideration
which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section
4(g)(i) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in
good faith by the Board.
-10-
(ii) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this
Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring
an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be
required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of
shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not
beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other
adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of
the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of
less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be
carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other
adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in
a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any
adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of
business on the date of its occurrence.
(iii) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this
Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to

of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive
a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall,
thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon

rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking

is taken, and the Holder exercises this Warrant, any shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise by reason of such adjustment shall be deemed the last
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any
other provision to the contrary herein) and such shares or other property shall
be held in escrow for the Holder by the Issuer to be issued to the Holder upon
and to the extent that the event actually takes place, upon payment of the
current Warrant Price. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary
herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is

(i) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this
Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring
an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be
required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of
shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not
beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other
adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of
the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of
less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be
carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other
adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in
a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any
adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of
business on the date of its occurrence.
(ii) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this
Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to
the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share.
(iii) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Issuer shall take a
record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall,
thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon
its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase
rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking
of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall
be rescinded and annulled.
(k) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not
be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and
kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(l) Escrow of Warrant Stock. If after any property becomes distributable
pursuant to this Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the holders
of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record
is taken, and the Holder exercises this Warrant, any shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise by reason of such adjustment shall be deemed the last
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any
other provision to the contrary herein) and such shares or other property shall
be held in escrow for the Holder by the Issuer to be issued to the Holder upon
and to the extent that the event actually takes place, upon payment of the
current Warrant Price. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary
herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is
rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be cancelled by the Issuer and
escrowed property returned.
-12-
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share
Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial
Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable
detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the
method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the
basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant
Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall
cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant
promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of
this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at
the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to a national or regional
accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Holder, provided
that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such
Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such
Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of
objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the
preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such
matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after submission
to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties
hereto. The costs and expenses of the initial accounting firm shall be paid
equally by the Issuer and the Holder and, in the case of an objection by the
Issuer, the costs and expenses of the subsequent accounting firm shall be paid
in full by the Issuer.
6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued
in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares,
the Issuer shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of
the applicable fraction multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then in effect.
7. Ownership Cap and Certain Exercise Restrictions. (a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time may a Holder of
this Warrant exercise this Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued pursuant to such exercise would exceed, when aggregated with all other
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder at such time, the
number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such Holder beneficially
owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that upon a holder of this Warrant
providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 13
hereof) (the "Waiver Notice") that such Holder would like to waive this Section
7(a) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant, this Section 7(a) will be of no force or effect with regard to all
or a portion of the Warrant referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further,
that this provision shall be of no further force or effect during the sixty-one
(61) days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this Warrant.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Warrant, at no time may a Holder of this Warrant exercise this Warrant if the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would
exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by such Holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would
result in such Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99%
of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided, however,
-13-
that upon a holder of this Warrant providing the Issuer with a Waiver Notice
that such holder would like to waive this Section 7(b) with regard to any or all
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 7(b)
shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of Warrant Stock
referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be
of no further force or effect during the sixty-one (61) days immediately
preceding the expiration of the term of this Warrant.
8. Registration Rights. If the Issuer proposes to register any of its
securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration relating solely
to the sale of securities to participants in an Issuer stock plan or on Form
S-8), the Issuer shall, at such time, promptly give the Holder written notice of
such proposed registration. Upon the written request of the Holder given within
twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice, the Issuer shall include in the
registration statement all of the Warrant Stock that the Holder has requested to
be registered. Upon a registration of securities pursuant to this Section 8, the
Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration
statement to become effective and keep such registration statement effective
until the earlier of such time as all of such securities have been disposed of
in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers
thereof set forth in such registration statement or after such time at which all
shares of Warrant Stock held by the Holder can be sold without registration in
compliance with Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act.
