Securities Laws
Compliance. If, at
the time of the surrender of this Warrant in
connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant
shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and
under applicable state securities or blue
sky laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such
transfer, that:
|
|
(a)
|
the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the
case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel (which
opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of
counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may
be made without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws;

|
6. No Rights as Shareholder
until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to
any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the
exercise hereof. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been
issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall
be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as
of the close of business on the date the Exercise and all taxes required to be
paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to paragraph 3.3 prior to the issuance of
such shares, have been paid.
7. Loss, Theft, Destruction or
Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt
by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to
the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft, or destruction of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall
not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of
such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
8. Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of
any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a
Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right
may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or legal
holiday.
9. Adjustments of Exercise
Price and Warrant Shares. The number and kind of securities
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of any of the
following. If the Company:
4
(a)
|
pays
a dividend in shares of common stock or make a distribution in shares of
common stock to holders of its outstanding common
stock,
|
(b)
|
subdivides
its outstanding shares of common stock into a greater number of
shares,
|
(c)
|
combines
its outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares of
common stock, or
|
(d)
|
issues
any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the common
stock,
|
then the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive
the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which
it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been
exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind
and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which are
purchasable hereunder, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the
number of Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at
an Exercise Price per Warrant Share or other security obtained by multiplying
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of
the Company that are purchasable pursuant hereto immediately after such
adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive
to the record date, if any, for such event.
10. Reorganization,
Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of
Assets. If the Company shall reorganize its
capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another
corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation, or sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property,
assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of
assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any
cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever
(including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or
in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other
Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of common stock
of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive. upon
exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor
or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of
the number of shares of common stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor
or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the
due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and
condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all
the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may
be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares
for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this paragraph 10. For
purposes of this paragraph 10, “common stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation” shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not
preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such
corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any
evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are
convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon
the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any
warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such
stock. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph 10 shall similarly
apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations
or disposition of assets.

11. Voluntary Adjustment by the
Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this
Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period
of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company, but not
below the par value of the common stock.
12. Notice of
Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or
kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall
give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the number of
Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other
securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by
which such adjustment was made.
13. Authorized
Shares. The Company covenants that during the period this
Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued common
stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this
Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this
Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the
duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights
under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action
as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided
herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of the Trading Market upon which the common stock may be
listed.
