of identification or designation and such legends,
-3-
summaries or endorsements printed, lithographed, engraved or typed
thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent
with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply
with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or
with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Warrants
may be listed, or to conform to usage. The Warrant Certificates shall
be dated the date of issuance thereof (whether upon initial issuance,
transfer, exchange or in lieu of mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed
Warrant Certificates) and issued in registered form. Warrants shall be
numbered serially with the letters PW.
(b) Warrant Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the
Company by its Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer,
President or any Vice President and by its Chief Financial Officer,
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, by manual signatures or by
facsimile signatures printed thereon, and shall have imprinted thereon
a facsimile of the Company's seal. In case any officer of the Company
who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates shall cease to be
such officer of the Company before the date of issuance of the Warrant
Certificates and issue and delivery thereof, such Warrant Certificates
may nevertheless be issued and delivered with the same force and effect
as though the person who signed such Warrant Certificates had not
ceased to be such officer of the Company. After execution by the
Company, Warrant Certificates shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent
to the Registered Holder.
SECTION 4. EXERCISE.
(a) Each Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder
thereof at any time on or after the Initial Exercise Date, but not
after the Warrant Expiration Date, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Warrant Certificate.
A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to
the close of business on the Exercise Date and the person entitled to
receive the securities deliverable upon such exercise shall be treated
for all purposes as the holder upon exercise thereof as of the close of
business on the Exercise Date. As soon as practicable on or after the
Exercise Date the Warrant Agent shall deposit the proceeds received
from the exercise of a Warrant, and promptly after clearance of checks
received in payment of the Exercise Price pursuant to such Warrants,
cause to be issued and delivered by the Transfer Agent, to the person
or persons entitled to receive the same, a certificate or certificates
for the securities deliverable upon such exercise, (plus a certificate
for any remaining unexercised Warrants of the Registered Holder).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of payment made in the form
of a check drawn on an account of Commonwealth or such other investment
banks and brokerage houses as the Company shall approve, certificates
shall immediately be issued without any delay. Upon the exercise of any
Warrant and clearance of the funds received, the Warrant Agent shall
promptly remit the payment received for the Warrant to the Company or
as the Company may direct in writing.
-4-
(b) The Registered Holder may, at its option, exchange this
Warrant, in whole or in part (a "Warrant Exchange"), into the number of
Warrant Shares determined in accordance with this Section (4)(c), by
surrendering the Warrant Certificate at the principal office of the
Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, accompanied by a
notice stating such Registered Holder's intent to effect such exchange,
the number of Warrant Shares to be exchanged and the date on which the
Registered Holder requests that such Warrant Exchange occur (the
"Notice of Exchange"). The Warrant Exchange shall take place on the
date specified in the Notice of Exchange or, if later, the date the
Notice of Exchange is received by the Company (the "Exchange Date").
Certificates for the shares issuable upon such Warrant Exchange and, if
applicable, a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the balance of the
shares remaining subject to such Warrant, shall be issued as of the
Exchange Date and delivered to the Registered Holder within seven (7)
days following the Exchange Date. In connection with any Warrant
Exchange, a Warrant shall represent the right to subscribe for and
acquire the number of Warrant Shares (rounded to the next highest
integer) equal to (i) the number of Warrant Shares specified by the
Registered Holder in its Notice of Exchange (the "Total Number") less
(ii) the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (A) the product of the Total Number and the existing Exercise
Price by (B) the current market value of a share of Common Stock.
Current market value shall have the meaning set forth Section 10(a)
hereof, except that for purposes hereof, the date of exercise, as used
in such Section 10(a) hereof, shall mean the Exchange Date.
SECTION 5. RESERVATION OF SHARES; LISTING; PAYMENT OF TAXES; ETC.
(a) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve
and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of issue upon exercise of Warrants, such number of shares of
Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all
outstanding Warrants. The Company covenants that all shares of Common
Stock which shall be issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and payment
of the Exercise Price shall, at the time of delivery, be duly and
validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free from all taxes,
liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof (other than those
which the Company shall promptly pay or discharge).
(b) The Company will use reasonable efforts to obtain
appropriate approvals or registrations under state "blue sky"
securities laws with respect to the exercise of the Warrants; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general
consent to service of process or qualify as a foreign corporation in
any jurisdiction. With respect to any such securities laws, however,
Warrants may not be exercised by, or shares of Common Stock issued to,
any Registered Holder in any state in which such exercise would be
unlawful.
-5-
(c) The Company shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar
taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect
to the issuance of Warrants, or the issuance, or delivery of any shares
upon exercise of the Warrants; provided, however, that if the shares of
Common Stock are to be delivered in a name other than the name of the
Registered Holder of the Warrant Certificate representing any Warrant
being exercised, then no such delivery shall be made unless the person
requesting the same has paid to the Warrant Agent the amount of
transfer taxes or charges incident thereto, if any.
(d) The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to
requisition the Company's Transfer Agent from time to time for
certificates representing shares of Common Stock required upon exercise
of the Warrants, and the Company will authorize the Transfer Agent to
comply with all such proper requisitions.
SECTION 6. EXCHANGE AND REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER. Subject to the
restrictions on transfer contained in the Warrant Certificates and the
Subscription Agreements between the Company and the purchasers of Units:
(a) Warrant Certificates may be exchanged for other Warrant
Certificates representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants of the
same class or may be transferred in whole or in part. Warrant
Certificates to be exchanged shall be surrendered to the Warrant Agent
at its Corporate Office, and upon satisfaction of the terms and
provisions hereof, the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent
shall countersign, issue and deliver in exchange therefor the Warrant
Certificate or Certificates which the Registered Holder making the
exchange shall be entitled to receive.
(b) The Warrant Agent shall keep at its office books in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall
register Warrant Certificates and the transfer thereof in accordance
with its regular practice. Upon due presentment for registration of
transfer of any Warrant Certificate at its office, the Company shall
execute and the Warrant Agent shall issue and deliver to the transferee
or transferees a new Warrant Certificate or Certificates representing
an equal aggregate number of Warrants.
(c) With respect to all Warrant Certificates presented for
registration of transfer, or for exchange or exercise, the subscription
form on the reverse thereof shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied
by a written instrument or instruments of transfer and subscription, in
form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Registered
Holder or his attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.
(d) The Company may require payment by such holder of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith.
-6-
(e) All Warrant Certificates surrendered for exercise or for
exchange in case of mutilated Warrant Certificates shall be promptly
canceled by the Warrant Agent and thereafter retained by the Warrant
Agent until termination of this Agreement or resignation of the Warrant
Agent, or, with the prior written consent of Commonwealth, disposed of
or destroyed, at the direction of the Company.
(f) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer
thereof, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the
Registered Holder of any Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner
thereof and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any
notations of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than a
duly authorized officer of the Company or the Warrant Agent) for all
purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 7. LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt by the Company and the
Warrant Agent of evidence satisfactory to them of the ownership of and loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate and (in case of
loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to them, and (in the case
of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company shall
execute and the Warrant Agent shall (in the absence of notice to the Company
and/or Warrant Agent that the Warrant Certificate has been acquired by a
bonafide purchaser) countersign and deliver to the Registered Holder in lieu
thereof a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor representing an equal aggregate
number of Warrants. Applicants for a substitute Warrant Certificate shall comply
with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as
the Warrant Agent may prescribe.
SECTION 8. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. Subject to the provisions of
Section l hereof, the Exercise Price in effect at any time and the number and
kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as
follows:
(a) In case the Company shall hereafter (i) declare a dividend
or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii)
combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of
the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective
date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be
adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to
such action, and the numerator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action. Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above
shall occur.
-7-
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section (i) below, in case
the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights or
warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe
for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into
Common Stock) at a price (the "Subscription Price") (or having a
conversion price per share) less than the current market price on such
record date or less than the Exercise Price, the Exercise Price shall
be adjusted so that the same shall equal the lower of (i) the price
determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to the date of such issuance by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the record date mentioned below and the number of
additional shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of
the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered (or the aggregate
conversion price of the convertible securities so offered) would
purchase at such current market price per share of the Common Stock,
and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding on such record date and the number of
additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase
(or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible)
or (ii) in the event the Subscription Price is equal to or higher than
the current market price but is less than the Exercise Price, the price
determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to the date of issuance by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the sum of the number of shares outstanding on the record date
mentioned below and the number of additional shares of Common Stock
which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of
Common Stock so offered (or the aggregate conversion price of the
convertible securities so offered) would purchase at the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to the date of such issuance, and the
denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding on the record date mentioned below and the number of
additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase
(or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible).
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such rights or
warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive
such rights or warrants; and to the extent that shares of Common Stock
are not delivered (or securities convertible into Common Stock are not
delivered) after the expiration of such rights or warrants the Exercise
Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in
effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or
warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of
shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock)
actually delivered.
(c) In case the Company shall hereafter distribute to the
holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets
(excluding cash dividends or distributions and dividends or
distributions referred to in Subsection (a) above) or subscription
rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in Subsection (b)
above), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect thereafter
shall be determined by
-8-
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the current market price per
share of Common Stock, less the fair market value (as determined by the
Company's Board of Directors) of said assets or evidences of
indebtedness so distributed or of such rights or warrants, and the
denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding multiplied by such current market price per share of
Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such
a record date is fixed. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such
distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive
such distribution.
(d) Subject to the provisions of Section (i) below, in case
the Company shall hereafter issue shares of its Common Stock (excluding
shares issued (i) in any of the transactions described in Subsection
(a) above, (ii) upon exercise of options granted to the Company's
officers, directors, employees and consultants under a plan or plans
adopted by the Company's Board of Directors and approved by its
shareholders, if such shares would otherwise be included in this
Subsection (d), (but only to the extent that the aggregate number of
shares excluded hereby and issued after the date hereof, shall not
exceed 10% of the Company's Common Stock outstanding, on a fully
diluted basis, at the time of any issuance), (iii) upon exercise of
options, warrants, convertible securities and convertible debentures
outstanding as of the final closing of the Private Placement, a
Qualified Private Offering, or exercise of the Warrants, (iv) to
shareholders of any corporation which merges into the Company in
proportion to their stock holdings of such corporation immediately
prior to such merger, upon such merger, (v) issued in a private
placement through Commonwealth, as placement agent, or upon exercise or
conversion of any securities issued in or in connection with such a
private placement (including agent, consulting or advisory warrants) or
(vi) issued in a bona fide public offering pursuant to a firm
commitment underwriting, but only if no adjustment is required pursuant
to any other specific subsection of this Section 8 (without regard to
Subsection (i) below) with respect to the transaction giving rise to
such rights) for a consideration per share (the "Offering Price") less
than the current market price on the date the Company fixes the
offering price of such additional shares or less than the Exercise
Price, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately thereafter so
that it shall equal (i) the price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional
shares and the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
consideration received for the issuance of such additional shares would
purchase at such current market price per share of Common Stock, and
the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after the issuance of such additional shares or
(ii) in the event the Offering Price is equal to or higher than the
current market price per share but less than the Exercise Price, the
price determined by multiplying the
-9-
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such
additional shares and the number of shares of Common Stock which the
aggregate consideration received for the issuance of such additional
shares would purchase at the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to the date of such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the
issuance of such additional shares. Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever such an issuance is made.
(e) Subject to the provisions of Section (i) below, in case
the Company shall hereafter issue any securities convertible into or
exchangeable for its Common Stock (excluding securities issued in
transactions described in Subsections (b) and (c) above) for a
consideration per share of Common Stock (the "Exchange Price")
initially deliverable upon conversion or exchange of such securities
(determined as provided in Subsection (g) below) less than the current
market price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such, or
less than the Exercise Price, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted
immediately thereafter so that it shall equal lower of (i) the price
determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the issuance of such securities and the number of shares of Common
Stock which the aggregate consideration received for such securities
would purchase at such current market price per share of Common Stock,
and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock of the Company deliverable
upon conversion of or in exchange for such securities at the initial
conversion or exchange price or rate or (ii) in the event the Exchange
Price is equal to or higher than the current market price per share but
less than the Exercise Price, the price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of
shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such securities
and the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
consideration received for such securities would purchase at the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such
issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance
of such securities and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock of
the Company deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for such
securities at the initial conversion or exchange price or rate. Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is
made.
(f) Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each
Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e)
above and (i) below or pursuant to the last sentence of Section 1(d)
hereof, the number of Shares purchasable upon
-10-
exercise of this Warrant shall simultaneously be adjusted by
multiplying the number of Shares initially issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect on the date hereof and
dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.
(g) For purposes of any computation respecting consideration
received pursuant to Subsections (d) and (e) above, the following shall
apply:
(A) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common
Stock for cash, the consideration shall be the amount of such
cash, provided that in no case shall any deduction be made for
any commissions, discounts or other expenses incurred by the
Company for any underwriting of the issue or otherwise in
connection therewith;
(B) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common
Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash,
the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the
fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company (irrespective of the
accounting treatment thereof), whose determination shall be
conclusive; and
(C) in the case of the issuance of securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock,
the aggregate consideration received therefor shall be deemed
to be the consideration received by the Company for the
issuance of such securities plus the additional minimum
consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the
conversion or exchange thereof (the consideration in each case
to be determined in the same manner as provided in clauses (A)
and (B) of this Subsection (g)).
(h) For the purpose of any computation under Subsections (b),
(c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of Common
Stock at any date shall be determined in the manner set forth in
Section 11.
(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, in the
event that the Company issues securities under Subsections (b), (d) or
(e) prior to the date which is 60 days after the expiration of any
lock-up agreement entered into by the Private Placement investors in
connection with a Qualified Public Offering having an Offering Price,
Subscription Price or Conversion Price less than the Exercise Price,
then the Exercise Price shall be immediately reset to equal such lower
Offering Price, Subscription Price or Conversion Price.
(j) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required
unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least five cents ($0.05) in such price; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this Subsection (i) are
-11-
not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account
in any subsequent adjustment required to be made hereunder. All
calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or
to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything
in this Section 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be
entitled, but shall not be required, to make such changes in the
Exercise Price, in addition to those required by this Section 8, as it
shall determine, in its sole discretion, to be advisable in order that
any dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock, or any
subdivision, reclassification or combination of Common Stock, hereafter
made by the Company shall not result in any Federal Income tax
liability to the holders of Common Stock or securities convertible into
Common Stock (including Warrants).
(k) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein
provided, the Company shall promptly but no later than 10 days after
any request for such an adjustment by the Holder, cause a notice
setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number of Shares
issuable upon exercise of each Warrant, and, if requested, information
describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments, to be
mailed to the Holders at their last addresses appearing in the Warrant
Register, and shall cause a certified copy thereof to be mailed to its
transfer agent, if any. The Company may retain a firm of independent
certified public accountants selected by the Board of Directors (who
may be the regular accountants employed by the Company) to make any
computation required by this Section 8, and a certificate signed by
such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such
adjustment.
(l) In the event that at any time, as a result of an
adjustment made pursuant to Subsection (a) above, the Holder of this
Warrant thereafter shall become entitled to receive any shares of the
Company, other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other
shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common
Stock contained in Subsections (a) to (j), inclusive above.
(m) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or
the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant,
Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the
same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in the similar
Warrants initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 9. REDEMPTION.
(a) On not less than 30 days' written notice (the "Redemption
Notice") to Registered Holders of the Warrants being redeemed, the
Warrants may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, at a redemption
price of $0.05 per Warrant, provided (i) the market price (determined
in accordance with Section 11 hereof) shall exceed 300% of the
-12-
then current Exercise Price for the 20 consecutive trading days ending
on the fifth trading day prior to the date of the Redemption Notice
(the "Target Price"), subject to adjustment as set forth in Section
9(f) hereof and (ii) a registration statement covering the Warrant
Shares filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act")
has been declared effective and remains effective on the date fixed for
redemption of the Warrants (the "Redemption Date").
(b) If the conditions set forth in Section 9(a) are met, and
the Company desires to exercise its right to redeem the Warrants, it
shall mail a Redemption Notice to each of the Registered Holders of the
Warrants to be redeemed, first class, postage prepaid, not later than
the thirtieth day before the date fixed for redemption, at their last
address as shall appear on the records maintained pursuant to Section
6(b). Any notice mailed in the manner provided herein shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the
Registered Holder receives such notice.
(c) The Redemption Notice shall specify (i) the redemption
price, (ii) the Redemption Date, (iii) the place where the Warrant
Certificates shall be delivered and the redemption price paid, and (iv)
that the right to exercise the Warrant shall terminate at 5:00 P.M.
(New York time) on the business day immediately preceding the
Redemption Date. No failure to mail such notice nor any defect therein
or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings
for such redemption except as to a Registered Holder (a) to whom notice
was not mailed or (b) whose notice was defective. An affidavit of the
Warrant Agent or of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the
Company that notice of redemption has been mailed shall, in the absence
of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
(d) Any right to exercise a Warrant shall terminate at 5:00
P.M. (New York time) on the business day immediately preceding the
Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date, Registered Holders
of the Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive, upon
surrender of the Warrant, the Redemption Price.
(e) From and after the Redemption Date, the Company shall, at
the place specified in the Redemption Notice, upon presentation and
surrender to the Company by or on behalf of the Registered Holder
thereof of one or more Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants to be
redeemed, deliver or cause to be delivered to or upon the written order
of such Registered Holder a sum in cash equal to the Redemption Price
of each such Warrant. From and after the Redemption Date and upon the
deposit or setting aside by the Company of a sum sufficient to redeem
all the Warrants called for redemption, such Warrants shall expire and
become void and all rights hereunder and under the Warrant
Certificates, except the right to receive payment of the Redemption
Price, shall cease.
-13-
(f) If the shares of the Company's Common Stock are subdivided
or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock,
the Target Price shall be proportionally adjusted by the ratio which
the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock
to be outstanding immediately after such event.
SECTION 10. REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. The Company
agrees to register the Warrant Shares for resale under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act") on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in Article IV of the Subscription Agreement between the Company and each
of the investors in the Private Placement.
SECTION 11. FRACTIONAL WARRANTS AND FRACTIONAL SHARES.
(a) If the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon
the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Section 8 hereof,
the Company shall nevertheless not be required to issue fractions of
shares, upon exercise of the Warrants or otherwise, or to distribute
certificates that evidence fractional shares. With respect to any
fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company
shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the current market value of such fractional share,
determined as follows:
(A) If the Common Stock is listed on a national
securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges
on such exchange or listed for trading on the Nasdaq National
Market System ("NMS"), the current market value shall be the
average of the last reported sale prices of the Common Stock
on such exchange for the 10 trading days prior to the date of
exercise of this Warrant; provided that if no such sale is
made on a day within such period or no closing sale price is
quoted, that day's market value shall be the average of the
closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or
system; or
(B) If the Common Stock is listed in the
over-the-counter market (other than on NMS) or admitted to
unlisted trading privileges, the current market value shall be
the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices reported by
the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. for the 10 trading days
prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant; or
(C) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted
to unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices are
not so reported, the current market value shall be an amount
determined in a reasonable manner by the Board of Directors of
the Company.
-14-
SECTION 12. WARRANT HOLDERS NOT DEEMED STOCKHOLDERS. No holder of
Warrants shall, as such, be entitled to vote or to receive dividends or be
deemed the holder of Common Stock that may at any time be issuable upon exercise
of such Warrants for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall anything contained herein
be construed to confer upon the holder of Warrants, as such, any of the rights
of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of
directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof,
or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any
recapitalization, issue or reclassification of stock, change of par value or
change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger or conveyance or
otherwise), or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or
subscription rights, until such Holder shall have exercised such Warrants and
been issued shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions hereof.
SECTION 13. RIGHTS OF ACTION. All rights of action with respect to this
Agreement are vested in the respective Registered Holders of the Warrants, and
any Registered Holder of a Warrant, without consent of the Warrant Agent or of
the holder of any other Warrant, may, on his own behalf and for his own benefit,
enforce against the Company his right to exercise his Warrants for the purchase
of shares of Common Stock in the manner provided in the Warrant Certificate and
this Agreement.
SECTION 14. AGREEMENT OF WARRANT HOLDERS. Every holder of a Warrant, by
his acceptance thereof, consents and agrees with the Company, the Warrant Agent
and every other holder of a Warrant that:
(a) The Warrants are transferable only on the registry books
of the Warrant Agent by the Registered Holder thereof in person or by
his attorney duly authorized in writing and only if the Warrant
Certificates representing such Warrants are surrendered at the office
of the Warrant Agent, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper
instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the
Company in their sole discretion, together with payment of any
applicable transfer taxes; and
(b) The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name
the Warrant Certificate is registered as the holder and as the
absolute, true and lawful owner of the Warrants represented thereby for
all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly provided in
Section 7 hereof.
SECTION 15. CANCELLATION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. If the Company shall
purchase or acquire any Warrant or Warrants, the Warrant Certificate or Warrant
Certificates evidencing the same shall thereupon be canceled by it and retired.
The Warrant Agent shall also cancel Common Stock following exercise of any or
all of the Warrants represented thereby or delivered to it for transfer,
splitup, combination or exchange.
SECTION 16. CONCERNING THE WARRANT AGENT.
-15-
(a) The Warrant Agent acts hereunder as agent and in a
ministerial capacity for the Company, and its duties shall be
determined solely by the provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent shall
not, by issuing and delivering Warrant Certificates or by any other act
hereunder be deemed to make any representations as to the validity,
value or authorization of the Warrant Certificates or the Warrants
represented thereby or of any securities or other property delivered
upon exercise of any Warrant or whether any stock issued upon exercise
of any Warrant is fully paid and nonassessable.
(b) The Warrant Agent shall account promptly to the Company
with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently pay the Company, as
provided in Section 4, all moneys received by the Warrant Agent upon
the exercise of such Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall, upon request of
the Company from time to time, deliver to the Company such complete
reports of registered ownership of the Warrants and such complete
records of transactions with respect to the Warrants and the shares of
Common Stock as the Company may request. The Warrant Agent shall also
make available to the Company and Commonwealth for inspection by their
agents or employees, from time to time as either of them may request,
such original books of accounts and record (including original Warrant
Certificates surrendered to the Warrant Agent upon exercise of
Warrants) as may be maintained by the Warrant Agent in connection with
the issuance and exercise of Warrants hereunder, such inspections to
occur at the Warrant Agent's office as specified in Section 18, during
normal business hours.
(c) The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty
or responsibility to any holder of Warrant Certificates to make or
cause to be made any adjustment of the Exercise Price provided in this
Agreement, or to determine whether any fact exists which may require
any such adjustments, or with respect to the nature or extent of any
such adjustment, when made, or with respect to the method employed in
making the same. It shall not (i) be liable for any recital or
statement of facts contained herein or for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it in reliance on any Warrant Certificate or other
document or instrument believed by it in good faith to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, (ii)
be responsible for any failure on the part of the Company to comply
with any of its covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement
or in any Warrant Certificate, or (iii) be liable for any act or
omission in connection with this Agreement except for its own
negligence or wilful misconduct.
The Warrant Agent may at any time consult with counsel satisfactory to
it (who may be counsel for the Company) and shall incur no liability or
responsibility for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good
faith in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel.
(d) Any notice, statement, instruction, request, direction,
order or demand of the Company shall be sufficiently evidenced by an
instrument signed by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive
Officer, President, any Vice President, its Secretary, or
-16-
Assistant Secretary, (unless other evidence in respect thereof is
herein specifically prescribed). The Warrant Agent shall not be liable
for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with such
notice, statement, instruction, request, direction, order or demand
believed by it to be genuine.
(e) The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable
compensation for its services hereunder and to reimburse it for its
reasonable expenses hereunder; it further agrees to indemnify the
Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all losses, expenses
and liabilities, including judgments, costs and counsel fees, for
anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution of its
duties and powers hereunder except losses, expenses and liabilities
arising as a result of the Warrant Agent's negligence or wilful
misconduct.
(f) The Warrant Agent may resign its duties and be discharged
from all further duties and liabilities hereunder (except liabilities
arising as a result of the Warrant Agent's own negligence or wilful
misconduct), after giving 30 days' prior written notice to the Company.
At least 15 days prior to the date such resignation is to become
effective, the Warrant Agent shall cause a copy of such notice of
resignation to be mailed to the Registered Holder of each Warrant
Certificate at the Company's expense. Upon such resignation, or any
inability of the Warrant Agent to act as such hereunder, the Company
shall appoint a new warrant agent in writing. If the Company shall fail
to make such appointment within a period of 15 days after it has been
notified in writing of such resignation by the resigning Warrant Agent,
then the Registered Holder of any Warrant Certificate may apply to any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new warrant
agent. Any new warrant agent, whether appointed by the Company or by
such a court, shall be a bank or trust company having a capital and
surplus, as shown by its last published report to its stockholders, of
not less than $10,000,000 or a stock transfer company. After acceptance
in writing of such appointment by the new warrant agent is received by
the Company, such new warrant agent shall be vested with the same
powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been
originally named herein as the Warrant Agent, without any further
assurance, conveyance, act or deed; but if for any reason it shall be
necessary or expedient to execute and deliver any further assurance,
conveyance, act or deed, the same shall be done at the expense of the
Company and shall be legally and validly executed and delivered by the
resigning Warrant Agent. Not later than the effective date of any such
appointment the Company shall file notice thereof with the resigning
Warrant Agent and shall forthwith cause a copy of such notice to be
mailed to the Registered Holder of each Warrant Certificate.
(g) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent or any new
warrant agent may be converted or merged or any corporation resulting
from any consolidation to which the Warrant Agent or any new warrant
agent shall be a party or any corporation succeeding to the trust
business of the Warrant Agent shall be a successor warrant agent under
this Agreement without any further act, provided that such corporation
is eligible
-17-
for appointment as successor to the Warrant Agent under the provisions
of the preceding paragraph. Any such successor warrant agent shall
promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed
to the Company and to the Registered Holder of each Warrant
Certificate.
(h) The Warrant Agent, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and
any of its or their officers or directors, may buy and hold or sell
Warrants or other securities of the Company and otherwise deal with the
Company in the same manner and to the same extent and with like effects
as though it were not Warrant Agent. Nothing herein shall preclude the
Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for
any other legal entity.
SECTION 17. MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT. Subject to the provisions of
Section 4(b), the parties hereto may by supplemental agreement make any changes
or corrections in this Agreement (i) that it shall deem appropriate to cure any
ambiguity or to correct any defective or inconsistent provision or manifest
mistake or error herein contained; (ii) to reflect an increase in the number of
Warrants which are to be governed by this Agreement resulting from an increase
in the size of the Private Placement; (iii) to reflect an increase in the number
of Warrants which are to be governed by this Agreement resulting from the
conversion of warrants issued to Commonwealth or its designees in connection
with the Private Placement; or (iv) that it may deem necessary or desirable and
which shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of Warrant
Certificates; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not otherwise be
modified, supplemented or altered in any respect except with the consent in
writing of the Company, Commonwealth and a committee to be designated by
Commonwealth whose members hold in the aggregate not less than 20% of the
outstanding principal amount of the Preferred Shares or 20% of the outstanding
Warrants; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification or waiver
which would decrease the number of the securities purchasable upon the exercise
of any Warrant, or increase in the Exercise Price therefor (other than as a
result of the waiver or modification of any anti-dilution provisions contained
in Section 8 hereof), shall be made without the consent in writing of the
holders of not less than 50% of the outstanding Warrants.
SECTION 18. NOTICES. All notices, requests, consents and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
made when delivered or mailed first class registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid as follows: if to the Registered Holder of a Warrant Certificate, at the
address of such holder as shown on the registry books maintained by the Warrant
Agent; if to the Company, 00 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Att:

Commonwealth, at Commonwealth Associates, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx
00000, Attention: Xxxx Xxxxxxxx.
SECTION 19. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without
reference to principles of conflict of laws.
-18-
SECTION 20. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Company and the Warrant Agent (and their respective
successors and assigns) and the holders from time to time of Warrant
Certificates. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to
confer upon any other person any right, remedy or claim, in equity or at law, or
to impose upon any other person any duty, liability or obligation.
SECTION 21. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier
to occur of (i) the close of business on the Expiration Date of all the
Warrants; or (ii) the date upon which all Warrants have been exercised or
redeemed.
SECTION 22. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, which taken together shall constitute a single document.

Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.

Holder at the time of such surrender. Upon due presentment with any tax or other
governmental charge imposed in connection therewith, for registration of

notice of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided in the Warrant

Warrants represented hereby except to receive the $.05 per Warrant upon
surrender of this Warrant Certificate.
