1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(A) EXERCISE. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder in
whole at any time or in part from time to time on or before the Expiration Date
by (x) surrendering this Warrant to the Company, (y) giving a subscription form
in the form of EXHIBIT 1 to this Warrant (duly executed by the Holder) to the
Company, and (z) making payment, in cash or by certified or official bank check
payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer of funds to the account
of the Company, in any such case, in the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the
number of shares of Common Stock designated by the Holder in the subscription
form by (b) the Purchase Price then in effect. On any partial exercise the
Company will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder a
new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the
Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may
request, providing in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the
purchase of the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant or
Warrants may still be exercised. The subscription form may be surrendered by
telephone line facsimile transmission to such telephone number for the Company
as shall have been specified in writing to the Holder by the Company; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if the subscription form is given to the Company by telephone line
facsimile transmission the Holder shall send an original of such subscription
form to the Company within ten Business Days after such subscription form is so
given to the Company; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that any failure or delay on
the part of the Holder in giving such original of any subscription form shall
not affect the validity or the date on which such subscription form is so given
by telephone line facsimile transmission.
(B) NET EXERCISE. The Holder may elect to exercise this
Warrant, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, by receiving shares
of Common Stock equal to the net issuance value (as determined below) of this
Warrant, or any part hereof, upon surrender of the subscription form annexed
hereto (duly executed by the Holder) to the Company (followed by surrender of
this Warrant to the Company within three Trading Days after surrender of such
subscription form), in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a
number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
-5-
X = Y x (A - B)
-----------
A
where,
X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this
Warrant is to be exercised
A = the Current Fair Market Value of one share of Common
Stock calculated as of the last Trading Day immediately
preceding the exercise of this Warrant
B = the Purchase Price
(C) 9.9% LIMITATION. (1) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by the Holder upon exercise pursuant to the terms hereof at any time
shall not exceed a number that, when added to the total number of shares of
Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by the Holder (other than by virtue of
the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have
limitations on the Holder's right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to
the limitation set forth herein (the "Excluded Shares"), together with all
shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned at such time (other than by
virtue of the ownership of the Excluded Shares) by Persons whose beneficial
ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the beneficial ownership by
the Holder for purposes of determining whether a group exists or for purposes of
determining the Holder's beneficial ownership (the "Aggregation Parties"), in
either such case for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and Regulation
13D-G thereunder (including, without limitation, as the same is made applicable
to Section 16 of the 1934 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder), would
result in beneficial ownership by the Holder or such group of more than 9.9% of
the shares of Common Stock for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the
1934 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (as the same may be modified by
the Holder as provided herein, the "Restricted Ownership Percentage"). The
Holder shall have the right at any time and from time to time to reduce its
Restricted Ownership Percentage immediately upon notice to the Company in the
event and only to the extent that Section 16 of the 1934 Act or the rules
promulgated thereunder (or any successor statute or rules) is changed to r educe
the beneficial ownership percentage threshold t hereunder to a percentage less
than 9.9%. If at any time the limits in this Section 1(c) make this Warrant
unexercisable in whole or in part, the Company shall not by reason thereof be
-6-
relieved of its obligation to issue shares of Common Stock at
any time or from time to time thereafter upon exercise of this Warrant as and
when shares of Common Stock may be issued in compliance with such restrictions.
(2) For purposes of this Section 1(c), in determining the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock at any time the Holder may rely on
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the
Company's then most recent Form 10-Q, Form 10-K or other public filing with the
SEC, as the case may be, (2) a public announcement by the Company that is later
than any such filing referred to in the preceding clause (1) or (3) any other
notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number shares of
Common Stock outstanding and knowledge the Holder may have about the number of
shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or exercise of Common Stock
Equivalents by any Person, including the Holder, which are not reflected in the
preceding clauses (1) through (3). Upon the written request of the Holder, the
Company shall within three Business Days confirm in writing to the Holder the
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to
the conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents, including the Warrants,
by the Holder or its affiliates, in each such case subsequent to, the date as of
which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.
2. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES, ETC., ON EXERCISE. As soon
as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant and in any event within five
Trading Days thereafter, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Warrant, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any
applicable issue or stamp taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and
delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any
applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate or certificates for the
number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, in such
denominations as may be requested by the Holder, plus, in lieu of any fractional
share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such
fraction multiplied by the then Current Fair Market Value of one full share,
together with any other stock or Other Securities or any property (including
cash, where applicable) to which the Holder is entitled upon such exercise
pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise. The Company shall pay any taxes and other
governmental charges that may be imposed under the laws of the United States of
America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein in
respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
or payment of cash upon exercise of this Warrant (other than income taxes
imposed on the Holder). The Company shall not be required, however, to pay any
tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the
issue of any certificate for shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or payment of cash to any Person other
than the Holder, and in case of such transfer or payment the Company shall not
be required to deliver any
-7-
certificate for shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) upon such exercise
or pay any cash until such tax or charge has been paid or it has been
established to the Company's reasonable satisfaction that no such tax or charge
is due. Upon exercise of this Warrant as provided herein, the Company's
obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the
Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision
hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce
the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the
Company to the Holder, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or
termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person
of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by
the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which
might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection
with such exercise. If the Company fails to issue and deliver the certificates
for the Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to the first sentence of this
paragraph as and when required to do so, in addition to any other liabilities
the Company may have hereunder and under applicable law, the Company shall pay
or reimburse the Holder on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses, including,
without limitation, fees and expenses of legal counsel, incurred by the Holder
as a result of such failure.
3. ADJUSTMENT FOR DIVIDENDS IN OTHER STOCK, PROPERTY, ETC.;
RECLASSIFICATION, ETC. In case at any time or from time to time on or after the
Issuance Date, all the holders of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall have
received, or (on or after the record date fixed for the determination of
stockholders eligible to receive) shall have become entitled to receive, without
payment therefor,
(a) other or additional stock, rights, warrants or other
securities or property (other than cash) by way of dividend, or
(b) any cash (excluding cash dividends payable solely out of
earnings or earned surplus of the Company), or
(c) other or additional stock, rights, warrants or other
securities or property (including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up,
reclassification, recapitalization, combination of shares or similar
corporate rearrangement,
other than (i) additional shares of Common Stock ( or Other Securities)
issued as a stock dividend or in a stock-split (adjustments in respect of
which are provided for in Section 5) and (ii) rights or warrants to
subscribe for Common Stock at less than the Current Fair Market Value
(adjustments in respect of which are provided in Section 6), then and
in each such case the Holder, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1,
shall be entitled to receive the amount of stock, rights, warrants and Other
Securities and property ( including cash in the cases referred to in
-8-
subdivisions (b) and (c) of this Section 3) which the Holder would hold on the
date of such exercise if on the date thereof the Holder had been the holder of
record of the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of this
Warrant and had thereafter, during the period from the date thereof to and
including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and all such other or
additional stock, rights, warrants and Other Securities and property (including
cash in the case referred to in subdivisions (b) and (c) of this Section 3)
receivable by the Holder as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all
adjustments called for during such period by Section 4.
4. EXERCISE UPON A REORGANIZATION EVENT. In case of any
Reorganization Event the Company shall, as a condition precedent to the
consummation of the transactions constituting, or announced as, such
Reorganization Event, cause effective provisions to be made so that the Holder
shall have the right thereafter, by exercising this Warrant (in lieu of the
shares of Common Stock of the Company and Other Securities or property
purchasable and receivable upon exercise of the rights represented hereby
immediately prior to such transaction) to purchase the kind and amount of
shares of stock and Other Securities and property (including cash) receivable
upon such Reorganization Event by a holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock that might have been received upon exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior to such Reorganization Event. Any such provision shall include provisions
for adjustments in respect of such shares of stock and Other Securities and
property that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 4
shall apply to successive Reorganization Events.
5. ADJUSTMENT FOR CERTAIN EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS. In the event
that on or after the Issuance Date the Company shall (i) issue additional
shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common
Stock, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price
shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by
multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such event by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then
in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same
manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in
this Section 5. The Holder shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as
provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive that number of shares of
Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock
which would be issuable on such exercise immediately prior to such issuance
by a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the
-9-
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance and (ii) the
denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.
6. ISSUANCE OF RIGHTS OR WARRANTS TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS AT
LESS THAN CURRENT FAIR MARKET VALUE. In case the Company shall on or after the
Issuance Date issue rights or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares
of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common
Stock at a price per share less than the Current Fair Market Value on the record
date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights
or warrants, then
(a) the Purchase Price shall be adjusted so that the same
shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in
effect at the opening of business on the day after such record date by
a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record date
plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the
total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Current Fair
Market Value, and the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on such record date
plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered
for subscription or purchase; and
(b) the number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder may
thereafter purchase upon exercise of this Warrant at the opening of
business on the day after such record date shall be increased to a
number equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Aggregate
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment in the
Purchase Price pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 6 BY (y) the
Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment in the
Purchase Price pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 6.
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business
on the day following the record date fixed for determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common
Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration
or termination of such rights or warrants, the Purchase Price shall be
readjusted to the Purchase Price which would then be in effect had the
adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the
basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually
delivered and the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may
thereafter be exercised shall be readjusted (subject to proportionate adjustment
for any intervening exercises of this Warrant) to the number which would then be
in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants
been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock
actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued,
the Purchase Price shall again be
-10-
adjusted to be the Purchase Price which would then be in effect if such record
date had not been fixed and the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant may thereafter be exercised shall again be adjusted (subject to
proportionate adjustment for any intervening exercises of this Warrant) to be
the number which would then be in effect if such record date had not been
fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holder to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Fair
Market Value, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of
Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for
such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash,
to be determined by the Board of Directors.
7. ISSUANCE AT LESS THAN CURRENT FAIR MARKET VALUE. (a) In
case at any time on or after the Issuance Date the Company shall issue shares of
its Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (collectively, the "Newly Issued
Shares"), other than an issuance pro rata to all holders of its outstanding
Common Stock (adjustments for which are provided in Sections 5 and 6) and other
than an issuance in respect of which Section 9 is applicable, at a price below
the Current Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of such issuance,
then following such issuance of Newly Issued Shares the Purchase Price shall be
reduced as provided in clause (b) of this Section 7 and the number of shares of
Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
increased as provided in clause (c) of this Section 7.
(b) The reduction in the Purchase Price following any such
adjustment shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price immediately
prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the sum
of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
issuance of the Newly Issued Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted basis
assuming the exercise or conversion of all options, warrants, purchase rights or
convertible securities which are exercisable or convertible at the time of the
issuance of the Newly Issued Shares) PLUS (2) the number of shares of Common
Stock which the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the Company for the
number of Newly Issued Shares would purchase at a price equal to the Current
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of such issuance, and the
denominator shall be the sum of (X) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the Newly Issued Shares
(calculated on a fully-diluted basis assuming the exercise or conversion of all
options, warrants, purchase rights or convertible securities which are
exercisable or convertible at the time of the issuance of the Newly Issued
Shares) PLUS (Y) the number of Newly Issued Shares. The adjustment provided for
in this Section 7(b) may be expressed as the following mathematical formula:
-11-
( O +(C / FMV)) x PP
-------------------
NPP = ( O + N )
where,
C = aggregate consideration received by the Company for the
Newly Issued Shares
N = number of Newly Issued Shares
O = number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (on a fully
diluted basis,as described above) immediately prior to the
issuance of the Newly Issued Shares
FMV = Current Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time
of issuance of the Newly Issued Shares
PP = Purchase Price immediately prior to the issuance of the
Newly Issued Shares
NPP = Purchase Price immediately after the issuance of the Newly
Issued Shares
(c) If the Purchase Price is reduced in connection with the
issuance of Newly Issued Shares as provided in Section 7(b), then the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may thereafter be exercised shall
be increased at the time of such reduction in the Purchase Price to a number
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Aggregate Purchase Price in
effect immediately prior to such issuance of Newly Issued Shares BY (y) the
Purchase Price in effect immediately after such issuance of Newly Issued Shares
after giving effect to such reduction in the Purchase Price pursuant to Section
7(b).
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made
under this Section 7 by reason of:
(1) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock pro
rata to all holders of the Common Stock so long as (i) any adjustment required
by Section 5 is made and (ii) the Company shall have given notice thereof to the
Holder pursuant to Section 14;
(2) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof;
(3) the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding on the Issuance Date;
-12-
(4) the issuance by the Company of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents in connection with a Subsequent Financing (as defined in the
Bridge Agreement, dated December 12, 2003, between the Company and the original
Holder of this Warrant, except without regard to the 45 days proviso) and the
issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common
Stock Equivalents; or
(5) the issuance by the Company of Newly Issued Shares upon
grant or exercise of options for employees, directors and consultants under a
stock option, equity compensation or similar plan duly adopted by the Board of
Directors.
8. ADJUSTMENT FOR CERTAIN ISSUANCES. (a) If at any time on or
before December 12, 2004 the Company issues shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents that are not registered for sale by the Company in such
offering under the 1933 Act or issues shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents in an offering of a type commonly known as a PIPE or an equity line,
in any such case in an amount which, together with all other offerings by the
Company that would be integrated with such offering for purposes of Regulation D
under the 1933 Act, results in gross proceeds to the Company of at least
$250,000, at a price per share at which the Company sells such shares of Common
Stock or the price per share at which the holders of such Common Stock
Equivalents are entitled to acquire shares of Common Stock upon conversion or
exercise thereof which is less than the Purchase Price in effect at the time of
such issuance, then following such issuance the Purchase Price shall be reduced
to the price per share (or weighted average price per share, if such shares are
issued, or such Common Stock Equivalents may be converted or exercised, at
different prices) at which such shares of Common Stock are issued or at which
such Common Stock Equivalents may be exercised, if the same is lower than the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance. If the Purchase
Price is reduced pursuant to this Section 8, then the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant may thereafter be exercised shall be increased at
the time of such reduction of the Purchase Price to a number equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Aggregate Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such issuance BY (y) the Purchase Price in effect
immediately after such issuance after giving effect to such reduction in the
Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 8.
(b) If any adjustment in the Purchase Price is made pursuant
to this Section 8 in respect of any issuance of shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents, no adjustment in the Purchase Price or the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made by reason
of such issuance pursuant to Section 8.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made
under this Section 8 by reason of:
-13-
(1) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock pro
rata to all holders of the Common Stock so long as (i) any adjustment required
by Section 5 is made and (ii) the Company shall have given notice thereof to the
Holder pursuant to Section 14;
(2) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof;
(3) the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding on the Issuance Date; or
(4) the issuance by the Company of Newly Issued Shares upon
grant or exercise of options for employees, directors and consultants under a
stock option, equity compensation or similar plan duly adopted by the Board of
Directors.
9. EFFECT OF RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE.
(a) If any of the following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or
change of the outstanding shares of 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, or
as a result of a subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation, merger or
combination of the Company with another corporation as a result of which holders
of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property
or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock,
or (iii) any sale or conveyance of the properties and assets of the Company as,
or substantially as, an entirety to any other Person as a result of which
holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other
property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such
Common Stock, then the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the
case may be, shall execute with the Holder a written agreement providing that
(x) this Warrant shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the kind and
amount of shares of stock and Other Securities or property or assets (including
cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger,
combination, sale or conveyance by the holder of a number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (assuming, for such purposes, a
sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available to exercise
this Warrant) immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation,
-14-
merger, combination, sale or conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock did
not exercise such holder's rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount
of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation,
merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance (PROVIDED that, if the kind or
amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation,
merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of
Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been
exercised ("non-electing share"), then for the purposes of this Section 9 the
kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance for each
non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per
share by a plurality of the non-electing shares), (y) in the case of any such
successor or purchasing Person, upon such consolidation, merger, combination,
sale or conveyance such successor or purchasing Person shall be jointly and
severally liable with the Company for the performance of all of the Company's
obligations under this Warrant and (z) if registration or qualification is
required under the 1933 Act or applicable state law for the public resale by the
Holder of such shares of stock and Other Securities so issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant, such registration or qualification shall be completed prior to
such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination or sale. Such
written agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Warrant. If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and
assets receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock includes
shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or
conveyance, then such written agreement shall also be executed by such other
corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the
interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider
necessary by reason of the foregoing.
(b) The above provisions of this Section 9 shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations,
sales and conveyances.
(c) If this Section 9 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 4
shall not apply to such event or occurrence.
10. TAX ADJUSTMENTS. The Company may make such reductions in
the Purchase Price, in addition to those required by Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and
8, as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any
income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock
resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire
stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.
11. MINIMUM ADJUSTMENT. (a) No adjustment in the Purchase
Price (and no related adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock which
may thereafter be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be required
unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in
the Purchase Price; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any adjustments which by reason of
this Section 11 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken
into account in any subsequent adjustment. All such calculations under this
Warrant shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to
the nearest one hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
-15-
(b) No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value
of the Common Stock or from par value to no par value or from no par value to
par value.
12. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. Whenever the Purchase Price is
adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later
than five Trading Days thereafter, give a notice to the Holder setting forth the
Purchase Price and number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased upon
exercise of this Warrant after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment but which such statement shall
not include any information which would be material non-public information for
purposes of the 1934 Act. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the
legality or validity of any such adjustment.
13. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Company will take all action that
may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of stock, free from all taxes,
liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, on the exercise of all or
any portion of this Warrant from time to time outstanding.
14. NOTICE TO HOLDER PRIOR TO CERTAIN ACTIONS. In case on or
after the Issuance Date:
(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution) on its Common Stock (other than in cash out of retained earnings);
or
(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of
its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of
any class or any other rights or warrants; or
(c) the Board of Directors shall authorize any
reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of
its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no
par value, or from no par value to par value), or any consolidation or merger or
other business combination transaction to which the Company is a party and for
which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or the sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(d) there shall be pending the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
the Company shall give the Holder, as promptly as possible but in any event at
least ten Trading Days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a
notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of
such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be
taken, the
-16-
date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such
dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, other business combination
transaction, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected
to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that
holders of Common Stock of record who shall be entitled to exchange their Common
Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, other business combination transaction, sale, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up shall be determined. Such notice shall
not include any information which would be material non-public information for
purposes of the 1934 Act. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up. In the case of any such action of which the Company
gives such notice to the Holder or is required to give such notice to the
Holder, the Holder shall be entitled to give a subscription form to exercise
this Warrant in whole or in part that is contingent on the completion of such
action.
15. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC., ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE OF
WARRANTS. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, solely for issuance and
delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) to effect the full exercise of this Warrant
and the exercise, conversion or exchange of any other warrant or security of the
Company exercisable for, convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise
entitling the holder to acquire shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities),
and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
(or Other Securities) shall not be sufficient to effect such exercise,
conversion or exchange, the Company shall take such action as may be necessary
to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) to such number as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
16. TRANSFER OF WARRANT. This Warrant shall inure to the
benefit of the successors to and assigns of the Holder. This Warrant and all
rights hereunder, in whole or in part, are registrable at the office or agency
of the Company referred to below by the Holder in Person or by his duly

customary form, duly executed by the transferring Holder.
17. REGISTER OF WARRANTS. The Company shall maintain, at the
principal office of the Company (or such other office as it may designate by
notice to the Holder), a register in which the Company shall record the name and
address of the Person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the
name and address of each successor and prior owner of such Warrant. The Company
shall be
-17-
entitled to treat the Person in whose name this Warrant is so registered as the
sole and absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes.
18. EXCHANGE OF WARRANT. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon
the surrender hereof by the Holder at the office or agency of the Company
referred to in Section 16, for one or more new Warrants of like tenor
representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number
of shares of Common Stock which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder,
each of such new Warrants to represent the right to subscribe for and purchase
such number of shares as shall be designated by the Holder at the time of such
surrender.
19. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT. On receipt by the Company of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (a) in the case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity from the Holder reasonably satisfactory in form to the
Company (and without the requirement to post any bond or other security), or (b)
in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the
Company will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor
without charge to the Holder.
20. WARRANT AGENT. The Company may, by written notice to the
Holder, appoint the transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock as the
Company's agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on

written notice to the Holder, appoint an agent having an office in the United
States of America for the purpose of exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section
18, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 19, or any of the foregoing,
and thereafter any such exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be

21. REMEDIES. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law
of the Holder in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company
in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are
not and will not be adequate, and that such terms may be specifically enforced
by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by
an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.
22. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS A STOCKHOLDER. This Warrant
shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a
stockholder of the Company. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed
as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to consent or to receive
notice as a stockholder of the Company on any matters or with respect to any
rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. No dividends or interest
shall be payable or accrued in respect of this Warrant or the interest
represented hereby or the Common Stock (or
-18-
Other Securities) purchasable hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this
Warrant shall have been exercised in accordance with its terms.
23. NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications from
the Company to the Holder shall be mailed by first class certified mail, postage
prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to the Company in writing by

statement, if any, relating to the shares of Common Stock underlying this
Warrant and the prospectus included therein, each as amended or supplemented to
the date of transfer to such transferee, and the reports and other information
concerning the Company which at the time of such transfer have been filed by the
Company with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act and which are incorporated by
reference in such prospectus as of the date of such transfer.

continue to be Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any
prospective purchaser of this Warrant from the Holder, the information required
pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the 1933 Act upon the request of the Holder
and it will take such further action as the Holder may reasonably request, all
to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holder to sell this

transferred or assigned in the absence of an effective registration
statement for the securities under the 1933 Act, or an opinion of
counsel that registration is not required under the 1933 Act.
27. AMENDMENT; WAIVER. This Warrant and any terms hereof may
be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge
or termination is sought.
