Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part, at any time
or from time to time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration
Date, by surrendering to the Company at its principal office this Warrant, with
the form of Election to Purchase Shares attached hereto as Exhibit A (or a
reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by the Holder and accompanied by
payment of the Purchase Price for the number of shares of Common Stock specified
in such form.
(b) Payment of the Purchase Price may be made as follows (or by any
combination of the following): (i) in United States currency by cash or delivery
of a certified
5
check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer to
the Company, (ii) by cancellation of all or any part of the unpaid principal
amount of Loans held by the Holder in an amount equal to the Purchase Price,
(iii) by cancellation of such number of shares of Common Stock otherwise
issuable to the Holder upon such exercise as shall be specified in such Election
to Purchase Shares, such that the excess of the aggregate Current Market Price
of such specified number of shares on the date of exercise over the portion of
the Purchase Price attributable to such shares shall equal the Purchase Price
attributable to the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise, in
which case such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to the Company and the
number of shares issuable upon such exercise shall be reduced by such specified
number, or (iv) by surrender to the Company for cancellation certificates
representing shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by the Holder (properly
endorsed for transfer in blank) having a Current Market Price on the date of
Warrant exercise equal to the Purchase Price.
2.2. When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the
Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to, and the
Purchase Price shall have been received by, the Company as provided in Section
2.1, and, to the extent permitted by law, at such time the Person or Persons in
whose name or names any certificate or certificates for Common Stock (or Other
Securities) shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 2.3
shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof for all
purposes.
2.3. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc.; Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. (a) As soon as practicable after each exercise of this Warrant, in
whole or in part, and in any event within seven (7) Business Days thereafter,
the Company shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder
hereof or, subject to Section 10, as the Holder may direct,
(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common
Stock (or Other Securities) to which the Holder shall be entitled upon
such exercise plus, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share to which
the Holder would otherwise be entitled, if any, a check for the amount of
cash equal to the same fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price per share
on the date of Warrant exercise, and
(ii) in case such exercise is for less than all of the shares of
Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant, a new Warrant or Warrants of
like tenor, for the balance of the shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder.
(b) Issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the initial Holder
hereof for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense, in respect of
the issuance of such certificates, all of which such taxes and expenses shall be
paid by the Company.
2.4. Exercise Disputes. In the case of any dispute with respect to
the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company
shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed
and shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the
Holder via facsimile within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Holder's
Election to Purchase Shares. If the Holder and the Company are
6
unable to agree as to the determination of the number of issuable shares within
five (5) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation
being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, in accordance with this
Section, submit via facsimile the disputed determination to an independent
reputable accounting firm of national standing, selected by the Company and
reasonably acceptable to the Holder. The Company shall cause such accounting
firm to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and
the Holder of the results within forty-eight (48) hours from the time it
receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such accounting firm's
determination shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error. The
Company shall, on the next Business Day, issue certificate(s) representing the
appropriate number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with such accounting
firm's determination and this Section. All fees and expenses of such
determinations and calculations shall be borne by the Company.
2.5. Company to Reaffirm Obligations. The Company shall, at the time
of each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,
acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all
rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if the Holder of this
Warrant shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the
continuing obligation of the Company to afford such rights to the Holder.
2.6. Tax Basis. The Company and the Holder shall mutually agree as
to the tax basis of this Warrant for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and the treatment of this Warrant under such Code by each of
the Company and the Holder shall be consistent with such agreement.
3. ADJUSTMENT OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE.
3.1. Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
Purchase Price as a result of the calculations made in this Section 3 and
subject to the limitation of the amount of shares set forth in the introductory
paragraph to this Warrant, this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to
receive, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of shares of Common Stock
(calculated to the nearest one-hundredth) obtained by dividing (i) the product
of the aggregate number of shares covered by this Warrant immediately prior to
such adjustment and the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment of the Purchase Price by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect
immediately after such adjustment of the Purchase Price.
3.2. Adjustment of Number of Shares.
3.2.1. Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In case the
Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue or
sell Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common
Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4 but excluding
Additional Shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of Rights referred
to in Section 3.10) without consideration or for a consideration per share less
than the Current Market Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale,
then, and in each such case, subject to Section 3.8, the Purchase Price shall be
reduced, concurrently with such issue or sale, to a price (calculated to the
nearest .001 of a cent) determined by multiplying such Purchase Price by a
fraction
7
(a) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale
and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
consideration received by the Company for the total number of such
Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold would purchase at such
Current Market Price, and
(b) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, provided that, for
the purposes of this Section 3.2.1, (i) immediately after any Additional
Shares of Common Stock are deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section
3.3 or 3.4, such Additional Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding, and
(ii) treasury shares shall not be deemed to be outstanding.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no adjustment to
Purchase Price shall be required for any sale of Additional Shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the Proposed Offering if the Purchase Price adjustment under
this section as a result of such sales pursuant to the Proposed Offering would
be less than an amount equal to ten percent of Market Price as computed on the
date of the initial sale of Common Stock pursuant to the Proposed Offering.
3.2.2. Extraordinary Dividends and Distributions. In case the
Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall declare,
order, pay or make a dividend or other distribution (including, without
limitation, any distribution of other or additional stock or other securities or
property or Options by way of dividend or spin-off, reclassification,
recapitalization or similar corporate rearrangement) on the Common Stock other
than (a) a dividend payable in Additional Shares of Common Stock or (b) a
regularly scheduled cash dividend (at a rate not in excess of the rate of the
last regularly scheduled cash dividend theretofore paid) payable out of
consolidated earnings or earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, or (c) a dividend of Rights referred to in
Section 3.10 hereof, then, in each such case, subject to Section 3.8, the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the
record date fixed for the determination of holders of any class of securities
entitled to receive such dividend or distribution shall be reduced, effective as
of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by
multiplying such Purchase Price by a fraction
(x) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price in
effect on such record date or, if the Common Stock trades on an
ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend
trading, less the Fair Value of such dividend or distribution applicable
to one share of Common Stock, and
(y) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price,
provided that, in the event that the amount of such dividend as so determined is
equal to or greater than 10% of such Current Market Price or in the event that
such fraction is less than 9/10ths, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment,
adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive, upon Warrant
exercise, a pro rata share of such dividend based upon the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock at the time issuable to the Holder (determined without
regard to whether the Warrant is exercisable at such time.)
8
3.3. Treatment of Options and Convertible Securities. In case the
Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue,
sell, grant or assume, or shall fix a record date for the determination of
holders of any class of securities of the Company entitled to receive, any
Options or Convertible Securities (whether or not the rights thereunder are
immediately exercisable, but exclusive of options or convertible securities
excluded from the definition of Additional Shares of Common Stock), then, and in
each such case, the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock (as set
forth in the instrument relating thereto, without regard to any provisions
contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the
exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options
therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be
deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such
issue, sale, grant or assumption or, in case such a record date shall have been
fixed, as of the close of business on such record date (or, if the Common Stock
trades on an ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of
ex-dividend trading), provided that such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall
not be deemed to have been issued unless (i) the consideration per share
(determined pursuant to Section 3.5) of such shares would be less than the
Current Market Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such
issue, sale, grant or assumption or immediately prior to the close of business
on such record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on
the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading), as the case may be,
and (ii) such Additional Shares of Common Stock are not purchasable pursuant to
Rights referred to in Section 3.10, and provided, further, that in any such case
in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued
(a) whether or not the Additional Shares of Common Stock underlying
such Options or Convertible Securities are deemed to be issued, no further
adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue
or sale of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities, except in the case of any such Options or Convertible
Securities which contain provisions requiring an adjustment, subsequent to
the date of the issue or sale thereof, of the number of Additional Shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities by reason of (x) a
change of control of the Company, (y) the acquisition by any Person or
group of Persons of any specified number or percentage of the voting
securities of the Company or (z) any similar event or occurrence, each
such case to be deemed hereunder to involve a separate issuance of
Additional Shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as
the case may be;
(b) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the
consideration payable to the Company, or decrease in the number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion
or exchange thereof (by change of rate or otherwise), the Purchase Price
computed upon the original issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof (or
upon the occurrence of the record date, or date prior to the commencement
of ex-dividend trading, as the case may be, with respect thereto), and any
subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or
decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or
decrease insofar as it affects such Options, or
9
the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities,
which are outstanding at such time;
(c) upon the expiration (or purchase by the Company and cancellation
or retirement) of any such Options which shall not have been exercised or
the expiration of any rights of conversion or exchange under any such
Convertible Securities which (or purchase by the Company and cancellation
or retirement of any such Convertible Securities the rights of conversion
or exchange under which) shall not have been exercised, the Purchase Price
computed upon the original issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof (or
upon the occurrence of the record date, or date prior to the commencement
of ex-dividend trading, as the case may be, with respect thereto), and any
subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration (or such
cancellation or retirement, as the case may be), be recomputed as if:
(i) in the case of Options for Common Stock or Convertible
Securities, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or
sold were the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually
issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion
or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration
received therefor was the consideration actually received by the
Company for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of all such
Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually
received by the Company upon such exercise, or for the issue or sale
of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or
exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually
received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, and
(ii) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only
the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued or sold upon the
exercise of such Options were issued at the time of the issue or
sale, grant or assumption of such Options, and the consideration
received by the Company for the Additional Shares of Common Stock
deemed to have then been issued was the consideration actually
received by the Company for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of
all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration
deemed to have been received by the Company (pursuant to Section
3.5) upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities with
respect to which such Options were actually exercised;
(d) no readjustment pursuant to subdivision (b) or (c) above shall
have the effect of increasing the Purchase Price by an amount in excess of
the amount of the adjustment thereof originally made in respect of the
issue, sale, grant or assumption of such Options or Convertible
Securities; and
(e) in the case of any such Options which expire by their terms not
more than 30 days after the date of issue, sale, grant or assumption
thereof, no adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made until the
expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment
shall be made in the manner provided in subdivision (c) above.
10
3.4. Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc. In case the
Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall declare or
pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, or shall effect a
subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a
dividend in Common Stock), then, and in each such case, Additional Shares of
Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued (a) in the case of any such
dividend, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the
determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such
dividend, or (b) in the case of any such subdivision, at the close of business
on the day immediately prior to the day upon which such corporate action becomes
effective.
3.5. Computation of Consideration. For the purposes of this Section
3,
(a) the consideration for the issue or sale of any Additional Shares
of Common Stock shall, irrespective of the accounting treatment of such
consideration,
(i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the net
amount of cash received by the Company, without deducting any
expenses paid or incurred by the Company or any commissions or
compensations paid or concessions or discounts allowed to
underwriters, dealers or others performing similar services in
connection with such issue or sale,
(ii) insofar as it consists of property (including securities)
other than cash, be computed at the Fair Value thereof at the time
of such issue or sale, and
(iii) in case Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued or
sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of the
Company for a consideration which covers both, be the portion of
such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (i)
and (ii) above, allocable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock,
such allocation to be determined in the same manner that the Fair
Value of property not consisting of cash is to be determined as
provided in the definition of `Fair Value' herein;
(b) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
pursuant to Section 3.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities,
shall be deemed to have been issued for a consideration per share
determined by dividing
(i) the total amount, if any, received and receivable by the
Company as consideration for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of
the Options or Convertible Securities in question, plus the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the
instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision
contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration
to protect against dilution) payable to the Company upon the
exercise in full of such Options or the conversion or exchange of
such Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options for
Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible
Securities and the conversion or exchange of such
11
Convertible Securities, in each case computing such consideration as
provided in the foregoing subdivision (a),
by
(ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set
forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any
provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such
number to protect against dilution) issuable upon the exercise of
such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities; and
(c) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
pursuant to Section 3.4, relating to stock dividends, stock splits, etc.,
shall be deemed to have been issued for no consideration.
3.6. Adjustments for Combinations, etc. In case the outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or
otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price in
effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall,
concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be
proportionately increased.
3.7. Dilution in Case of Other Securities. In case any Other
Securities shall be issued or sold or shall become subject to issue or sale upon
the conversion or exchange of any stock (or Other Securities) of the Company (or
any issuer of Other Securities or any other Person referred to in Section 4) or
to subscription, purchase or other acquisition pursuant to any Options issued or
granted by the Company (or any such other issuer or Person) for a consideration
such as to dilute, on a basis consistent with the standards established in the
other provisions of this Section 3, the purchase rights granted by this Warrant,
then, and in each such case, the computations, adjustments and readjustments
provided for in this Section 3 with respect to the Purchase Price and the number
of shares purchasable upon Warrant exercise shall be made as nearly as possible
in the manner so provided and applied to determine the amount of Other
Securities from time to time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants, so as
to protect the holders of the Warrants against the effect of such dilution.
3.8. De Minimis Adjustments. If the amount of any adjustment of the
Purchase Price required pursuant to this Section 3 would be less than one tenth
(1/10) of one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price in effect at the time such
adjustment is otherwise so required to be made, such amount shall be carried
forward and adjustment with respect thereto made at the time of and together
with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other
amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate a change in the Purchase
Price of at least one tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of such Purchase Price.
All calculations under this Warrant shall be made to the nearest one-hundredth
of a share.
3.9. Abandoned Dividend or Distribution. If the Company shall take a
record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
receive a dividend or other distribution (which results in an adjustment to the
Purchase Price under the terms of this Warrant) and shall, thereafter, and
before such dividend or distribution is paid or delivered to
12
shareholders entitled thereto, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such
dividend or distribution, then any adjustment made to the Purchase Price and
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon Warrant exercise by reason of
the taking of such record shall be reversed, and any subsequent adjustments,
based thereon, shall be recomputed.
3.10. Shareholder Rights Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that the Company shall distribute "poison pill" rights pursuant to a
"poison pill" shareholder rights plan (the "Rights"), the Company shall, in lieu
of making any adjustment pursuant to Section 3.2.1 or Section 3.2.2 hereof, make
proper provision so that each Holder who exercises a Warrant after the record
date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of the
Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise, in addition to the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, a number of Rights to be
determined as follows: (i) if such exercise occurs on or prior to the date for
the distribution to the holders of Rights of separate certificates evidencing
such Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of Rights to which a
holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise at the time of such exercise would be
entitled in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the
Rights; and (ii) if such exercise occurs after the Distribution Date, the same
number of Rights to which a holder of the number of shares into which the
Warrant so exercised was exercisable immediately prior to the Distribution Date
would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms
and provisions of and applicable to the Rights.
4. CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.
4.1. Adjustments for Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets,
Reorganization, etc. In case the Company after the date hereof shall (a)
consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing
or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any
other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company and the Company shall
be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation
or merger, the Common Stock or Other Securities shall be changed into or
exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person or cash or any other
property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets
to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification
of the Common Stock or Other Securities, (other than a capital reorganization or
reclassification resulting in the issue or Additional Shares of Common Stock for
which adjustment in the Purchase Price is provided in section 3.2.1 or 3.2.2),
then, and in the case of each such transaction, proper provision shall be made
so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this
Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time after
the consummation of such transaction, shall be entitled to receive (at the
aggregate Purchase Price in effect at the time of such consummation for all
Common Stock or Other Securities issuable upon such exercise immediately prior
to such consummation), in lieu of the Common Stock or Other Securities issuable
upon such exercise prior to such consummation, the highest amount of securities,
cash or other property to which such Holder would actually have been entitled as
a shareholder upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant
immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such
consummation) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for
in Sections 3 through 5, provided that if a purchase, tender or exchange offer
shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, and if the Holder so designates in
13
a notice given to the Company on or before the date immediately preceding the
date of the consummation of such transaction, the Holder of this Warrant shall
be entitled to receive upon surrender of this Warrant the highest amount of
securities, cash or other property to which it would actually have been entitled
as a shareholder if the Holder of this Warrant had exercised this Warrant prior
to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer and accepted such
offer, subject to adjustments (from and after the consummation of such purchase,
tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments
provided for in Sections 3 through 5.
4.2. Assumption of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained
in this Warrant or in the Loan Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not
effect any of the transactions described in clauses (a) through (d) of Section
4.1 unless, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the
Company) which may be required to deliver any stock, securities, cash or
property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by
written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of
this Warrant, (a) the obligations of the Company under this Warrant (and if the
Company shall survive the consummation of such transaction, such assumption
shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Company from, any continuing
obligations of the Company under this Warrant), (b) the obligations of the
Company to the Holder under the Registration Rights Agreement and (c) the
obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or
property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, the
Holder may be entitled to receive. Nothing in this Section 4 shall be deemed to
authorize the Company to enter into any transaction not otherwise permitted by
the Loan Agreement.
5. OTHER DILUTIVE EVENTS. In case any event shall occur as to which
the provisions of Section 3 or Section 4 hereof are not strictly applicable or
if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such
Sections, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of
independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing (which
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Holder), which shall give their opinion on
the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and
principles established in Section 3, necessary to preserve, without dilution,
the purchase rights represented by this Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion,
the Company shall promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder and shall make the
adjustments described therein.
6. NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not, by amendment of
its certificate of incorporation or through any consolidation, merger,
reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or
any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist
in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of
this Warrant against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company shall (a) not permit the par value of
any shares of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise, (b) take all such action as 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 liens, security
interests, encumbrances, taxes, preemptive rights and charges on the exercise of
the Warrants from time to
14
time outstanding, (c) not take any action which results in an increase of the
total number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable after the
action upon the exercise of this Warrant if that total number of issuable shares
would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
then authorized by the Company's certificate of incorporation and available for
the purpose of issue upon such exercise, and (d) shall not issue any capital
stock of any class which is preferred as to dividends or as to the distribution
of assets upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up,
unless the rights of the holders thereof shall be limited to a fixed sum or
percentage of par value or a sum determined by reference to a formula based on a
published index of interest rates, an interest rate publicly announced by a
financial institution or a similar indicator of interest rates in respect of
participation in dividends and to a fixed sum or percentage of par value in any
such distribution of assets.
7. CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment or
readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant (e.g., by reason of the issuance of Additional
Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities), the Company at its expense
shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the
terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate, signed by the Chairman of the
Board, President or one of the Vice Presidents of the Company, and by the Chief
Financial Officer, the Treasurer or one of the Assistant Treasurers of the
Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable
detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the
consideration received or to be received by the Company for any Additional
Shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued, (b) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding on a
Fully Diluted Basis and (c) the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to
such issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted (if required by Section 3) on
account thereof. The Company shall forthwith mail a copy of each such
certificate to each holder of a Warrant and shall, upon the written request at
any time of any holder of a Warrant, furnish to such holder a like certificate.
The Company shall also keep copies of all such certificates at its principal
office and shall cause the same to be available for inspection at such office
during normal business hours by any holder of a Warrant or any prospective
purchaser of a Warrant designated by the holder thereof. The Company shall upon
the request in writing of Hilco Capital LP (at the Company's expense), retain
independent public accountants of recognized national standing selected by the
Board of Directors of the Company to make any computation required in connection
with adjustments under this Warrant.
8. NOTICES OF CORPORATE ACTION. In the event of:
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any
class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are
entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or
any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification
or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or
merger involving the Company and any other Person, any transaction or series of
transactions in which more than 50%
15
of the voting securities of the Company are transferred to another Person, or
any transfer, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets
of the Company to any other Person, or
(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company,
the Company shall mail to the Holder a notice specifying (i) the date or
expected date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution or right, and (ii) the date or expected date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger,
transfer, sale, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take
place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of
record of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be entitled to exchange their
shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) for the securities or other
property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least 45 days prior to the date
therein specified.
9. REGISTRATION OF COMMON STOCK. If any shares of Common Stock
required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of this Warrant require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or
state law (other than the Securities Act) before such shares may be issued upon
exercise, the Company shall, at its expense and as expeditiously as possible,
use its best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, as
the case may be. The Holder's rights regarding registration of the Warrant
Shares under the Securities Act shall be governed by the Registration Rights
Agreement.

sold pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the

any sale or other disposition of such securities without registration
thereunder. Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any
Restricted Securities, the Holder shall be entitled to receive from the Company,
without expense, new securities of like tenor not bearing the applicable legends

instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or result

12. Availability of Information. So long as the Company shall not
have filed a registration statement pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act
or a registration statement pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act,
the Company shall, at any time and from time to time, upon the request of any
holder of Restricted Securities and upon the request of any Person designated by
such holder as a prospective purchaser of any Restricted Securities, furnish in
writing to such holder or such prospective purchaser, as the case may be, a
statement as of a date not earlier than 12 months prior to the date of such
request of the nature of the business of the Company and the products and
services it offers and copies of the Company's most recent balance sheet and
profit and loss and retained earnings statements, together with similar
financial statements for such part of the two preceding fiscal years as the
Company shall have been in operation, all such financial statements to be
audited to the extent
19
audited statements are reasonably available, provided that, in any event the
most recent financial statements so furnished shall include a balance sheet as
of a date less than 16 months prior to the date of such request, statements of
profit and loss and retained earnings for the 12 months preceding the date of
such balance sheet, and, if such balance sheet is not as of a date less than six
months prior to the date of such request, additional statements of profit and
loss and retained earnings for the period from the date of such balance sheet to
a date less than six months prior to the date of such request. If the Company
shall have filed a registration statement pursuant to the requirements of
Section 12 of the Exchange Act or a registration statement pursuant to the
requirements of the Securities Act, the Company shall timely file the reports
required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
(including but not limited to the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c) of Rule 144 adopted by the
Commission under the Securities Act)) and will take such further action as any
holder of Restricted Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent
required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Restricted Securities
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 and Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as
such rules may be amended from time to time, or (b) any other rule or regulation
now existing or hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any
holder of Restricted Securities, the Company will deliver to such holder a
written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
13. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC. The Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of
this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from
time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time outstanding. All
shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise or
conversion, shall be validly issued and, in the case of shares, fully paid and
nonassessable, with no liability on the part of the holders thereof, and, in the
case of all securities, shall be free from all taxes, liens, security interests,
encumbrances, taxes, preemptive rights and charges. The transfer agent for the
Common Stock, which may be the Company ("Transfer Agent"), and every subsequent
Transfer Agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the
exercise of any of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, are hereby
irrevocably authorized and directed at all times until the Expiration Date to
reserve such number of authorized and unissued shares as shall be requisite for
such purpose. The Company shall keep copies of this Warrant on file with the
Transfer Agent for the Common Stock and with every subsequent Transfer Agent for
any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the
rights of purchase represented by this Warrant. The Company shall supply such
Transfer Agent with duly executed stock certificates for such purpose. All
Warrants surrendered upon the exercise of the rights thereby evidenced shall be
canceled, and such canceled Warrants shall constitute sufficient evidence of the
number of shares of stock which have been issued upon the exercise of such
Warrants. Subsequent to the Expiration Date, no shares of stock need be reserved
by the Company in respect of any unexercised portion of this Warrant.
14. REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF WARRANTS.
14.1. Warrant Register; Ownership of Warrants. This Warrant shall be
numbered and shall be registered in a warrant register (the "Warrant Register")
as it is issued and
20
transferred, which Warrant Register shall be maintained by the Company at its
principal office or, at the Company's election and expense, by a warrant agent
or the Company's transfer agent. The Company shall be entitled to treat the
registered Holder of this Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in fact
thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or
other claim to or interest in this Warrant on the part of any other Person, and
shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, except that, if and when
this Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be
obligated to) treat the bearer thereof as the owner of this Warrant for all
purposes. Subject to Section 10, a Warrant, if properly assigned, may be
exercised by a new holder without a new Warrant first having been issued.
14.2. Transfer of Warrants. Subject to compliance with Section 10,
if applicable, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole
or in part, without charge to the Holder hereof, upon surrender of this Warrant
with a properly executed Form of Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B at the
principal office of the Company. Upon any partial transfer, the Company shall at
its expense issue and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor, in the
name of the Holder, which shall be exercisable for such number of shares of
Common Stock with respect to which rights under this Warrant were not so
transferred.
14.3. Replacement of Warrants. On receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably
satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such
mutilation, on surrender of such Warrant to the Company at its principal office
and cancellation thereof, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver,
in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
14.4. Adjustments To Purchase Price and Number of Shares.
Notwithstanding any adjustment in Purchase Price or the number or kind of shares
of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, any Warrant
theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same number and
kind of shares of Common Stock as are stated in this Warrant, as initially
issued.
14.5. Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any adjustment pursuant to
Section 3 in the number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant or any
other provision of this Warrant, the Company shall not be required to issue
fractions of shares upon exercise of this Warrant or to distribute certificates
which evidence fractional shares. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company
shall make payment to the Holder, at the time of exercise of this Warrant as
herein provided, in an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the
Current Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of Warrant exercise.
15. PUT RIGHTS. At any time and from time to time after (i) the
occurrence of a Event of Default, (ii) the payment in full of the entire
principal balance of the Promissory Note or (iii) four (4) years from the
Closing Date, the Holder may deliver one or more written notices to the Company
(each, a "Put Notice") of its intention to require the Company to purchase for
cash a portion of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares then owned by the Holder
not to exceed an aggregate amount of _______ shares of Common Stock (the "Put
Portion"). Each Put Notice shall specify the exact number of shares to be
subject to such purchase request
21
provided that the sum of all shares, when taken together with all prior shares
purchased by the Company in connection with any prior Put Notice, do not exceed
the Put Portion. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such a Put Notice, the
Company shall purchase the portion of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares then
owned by the Holder specified in such Put Notice for a cash purchase price equal
to the "Redemption Price". As used herein, the "Redemption Price" shall be equal
to the greater of (a) the Current Market Price, determined as of the date of
delivery of such notice, of the number of shares of Common Stock represented by
the portion of the Warrant and Warrant Shares which are subject to the Put
Notice minus, without duplication, the unpaid Purchase Price for any previously
unissued Warrant Shares which are required to be purchased pursuant to the Put
Notice and (b) the Appraised Fair Value, determined as of the date of delivery
of such notice, of the portion of the Warrant and Warrant Shares subject to the
Put Notice minus, without duplication, the unpaid Purchase Price for any
previously unissued Warrant Shares which are required to be purchased pursuant
to the Put Notice. The Holder may exercise its rights under this Section at any
time and from time to time on or after the occurrence of any of the events
described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above. If for any reason the Issuer
shall fail to pay its obligations under this Section when due, interest at a per
annum rate equal to four (4.0) percent above the interest rate that would
otherwise be applicable under Section 2.6 of the Loan Agreement, compounded
daily, shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of such unpaid obligations
until paid in full in cash. Following any such default in payment, the Company
shall promptly issue to the Holder a demand note in the principal amount equal
to any unpaid amounts, bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to four (4.0)
percent above the interest rate that would be otherwise applicable under Section
2.6 of the Loan Agreement, compounded daily, with the Company required to use
any available cash to pay any accrued interest and unpaid principal on such
note. So long as any obligations shall remain outstanding under the Revolver
Loan Agreement, such note shall be subordinated to the payment and performance
of the obligations of Company under the Revolver Loan Agreement in such manner
as to constitute "Subordinated Indebtedness" under the Revolver Loan Agreement.
Such rights shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to
the Holder upon a breach by the Company of its obligations under this Section.
16. Call Right. At anytime following January 31, 2008, so long as
the Company has fully repaid all Obligations owing under the Loan Agreement, the
Company shall have the right to purchase from the Holder a portion of the
unexercised Warrant representing the lesser of (x) ___________ shares of Common
Stock or (y) the remaining balance of the unexercised Warrant (such lesser
amount, the "Maximum Call Amount") by providing written notice to the Holder
(the "Call Notice"). The Company shall not deliver a Call Notice to any Holder
of a Warrant, without concurrently providing all Holders with a Call Notice. The
Company shall be entitled to only one Call Notice and such Call Notice shall
specify the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such call right up to
the Maximum Call Amount. Any exercise by the Company of its call right shall be
irrevocable. In every case of a call of less than the Maximum Call Amount from
all Holders, the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased from each
Holder shall be equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that are
the subject to the Call Notice(s) times a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant
held by the individual Holder and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all outstanding Warrants.
The closing of the purchase by the Company, and the sale by the Holder, of the
portion of the unexercised Warrant specified in the Call Notice,
22
following exercise by the Company of its call right (the "Call Closing") shall
be held at the principal office of Hilco Capital LP or its legal counsel within
30 days of Holder's receipt of the Company's Call Notice. At the Call Closing,
Holder shall deliver the unexercised portion of the Warrant to the Company
against receipt from the Company of the aggregate Call Price (as defined below)
therefor in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Holder's
designated account. To the extent that the Call Notice is for less than the
entire balance of the unexercised Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to
receive an amended and restated warrant for the unpurchased balance of the
Warrant remaining after such call which shall be on terms and conditions
identical to this Warrant except for the inclusion of any further call rights.
As used herein: "Call Price" shall mean an amount equal to the greater of (a)
the Current Market Price, determined as of the date of delivery of a Call
Notice, of the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Call Notice
minus, without duplication, the unpaid Purchase Price for the unexercised
portion of the Warrant represented by the Call Notice and (b) the Appraised Fair
Value, determined as of the date of delivery of a Call Notice, of the number of
shares of Common Stock represented by the Call Notice minus, without
duplication, the unpaid Purchase Price for the unexercised portion of the
Warrant represented by the Call Notice. If Holder tenders this Warrant at the
Call Closing and the Company fails to tender payment of the required aggregate
Call Price at the Call Closing, then the Company's call right shall thereupon
terminate and be of no force or effect, notwithstanding its previous exercise
thereof, and the Company shall indemnify Holder against all costs, expenses
(including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees), losses and damages
paid, suffered or incurred by Holder as a result of the Company's exercise of
such call right and failure to tender such aggregate Call Price.
17. REMEDIES; SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The Company stipulates that
there would be no adequate remedy at law to the Holder of this Warrant 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 and accordingly, the Company
agrees that, in addition to any other remedy to which the Holder may be entitled
at law or in equity, the Holder shall be entitled to seek to compel specific
performance of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant, without the
posting of any bond, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant
in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction, and
if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of
this Warrant, the Company shall not raise the defense that there is an adequate
remedy at law. Except as otherwise provided by law, a delay or omission by the
Holder hereto in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon any such breach
shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence
in any such breach. No remedy shall be exclusive of any other remedy. All
available remedies shall be cumulative.
18. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS SHAREHOLDER. Nothing contained in
this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder hereof any rights
as a shareholder of the Company or as imposing any obligation on the Holder to
purchase any securities or as imposing any liabilities on the Holder as a
shareholder of the Company, whether such obligation or liabilities are asserted
by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
