the record holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the
registered holder as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise
hereof or any distribution to the holder, and for all other purposes, and the

3. AUTHORIZATION OF SHARES. The Company covenants that all shares
of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of rights represented by
this Warrant will, upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant and
payment of the Exercise Price as set forth herein, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens,
encumbrances and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in
respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue or otherwise
specified herein).
4. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Exercise Procedure. Exercise of the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant may be made at any time and from time to time, in
whole or in part, on or after the date hereof but before 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time
on the Expiration Date, by delivering the Notice of Exercise annexed hereto duly
completed and executed (which delivery may be by facsimile) to the Company at
the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered holder hereof
at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company), and upon
payment of the full Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased (subject to
subsection (b) below), the holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for
the number of shares of Common Stock so purchased. Subject to subsection (b)
below, payment of the Exercise Price of the shares shall be by certified check
or cashier's check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company
in an aggregate amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of
shares being purchased.
(b) Cashless Exercise. Alternatively, and only in the
event the Warrant Shares are not subject to an effective registration statement,
the holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part in a "CASHLESS" or
"NET-ISSUE" exercise by delivering to the offices of the Company or any transfer
agent for the Common Stock a Notice of Exercise specifying the number of Warrant
Shares to be delivered to such holder ("DELIVERABLE SHARES") and the number of
Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised ("EXERCISED
SHARES"). The number of Deliverable Shares shall be calculated as follows:
# of Deliverable Shares = # of Exercised Shares X (Fair Market Value of Common
Stock less Exercise Price)/
Fair Market Value of Common
Stock
"FAIR MARKET VALUE" shall be deemed to be the last reported
sale price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of
exercise, or, if not reported, the fair market value of such Common Stock as
reasonably determined by the Company and such holder.
(c) Issuance of Warrant Shares and Unexercised Warrants.
Subject to subsection (d) below, in the event that this Warrant is not exercised
in full, the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised
shall be reduced by the number of such Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is
exercised and/or surrendered pursuant to this Section 4, and the Company, at its
expense, shall within five (5) Trading Days, issue and deliver to or upon the
order of the holder a new Warrant of like tenor in the name of the holder or as
the holder (upon payment by the holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may
request, reflecting such remaining number of Warrant Shares.
All exercises of this Warrant will be deemed to occur as of
the date of receipt by the Company of a validly executed Notice of Exercise (or
such later date as may be indicated on such Notice of Exercise) (such date being
referred to herein as the "EXERCISE DATE"), and certificates for shares of
Common Stock purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the holder hereof within
three (3) Trading Days after the Exercise Date. The holder may withdraw its
Notice of Exercise under Section 3(a) or 3(b) upon
3
written notice to the Company at any time thereafter, in whole or in part, if
the Company fails to timely deliver the applicable certificates to the holder as
provided in this Warrant.
In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the
Warrant Shares issuable upon conversion of this Warrant, provided the Company's
transfer agent is a participant in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast
Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST") program, upon request of the holder, the
Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically
transmit the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise to the holder, by crediting
the account of the holder's prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission ("DWAC") system. The time periods for delivery described above
shall apply to the electronic transmittals through the DWAC system. The Company
agrees to use its best commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with DTC to
accomplish this objective.
(d) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth herein, upon partial exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the
terms hereof, the holder shall not be required to physically surrender this
Warrant to the Company unless such holder is purchasing the full amount of
Warrant Xxxxxx then represented by this Warrant. The holder and the Company
shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares so purchased
hereunder and the dates of such purchases or shall use such other method,
reasonably satisfactory to the holder and the Company, so as not to require
physical surrender of this Warrant upon each such exercise.
5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP. No fractional Warrant Shares or
scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise
of this Warrant. Any fractional share or scrip shall be rounded up to the
nearest whole number.
6. CHARGES, TAXES AND EXPENSES. Issuance of certificates for
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without
charge to the holder hereof for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in
the name of the holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the
holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for shares of Common
Stock are to be issued in a name other than the name of the holder, this Warrant
when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form
attached hereto duly executed by the holder hereof, and provided further, that
the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes or any other fees or
expenses applicable to the holder or its transferee which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of any Warrant certificates or
any certificates for the Warrant Shares in a name other than the name of the
holder.
7. CLOSING OF BOOKS. The Company will at no time close its
stockholder books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely
exercise of this Warrant.
8. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE. Subject to Sections
12 and 13 of this Warrant and the provisions of any other written agreement
between the Company and the holder, prior to the exercise of this Warrant as
provided herein, the holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends
or be deemed the holder of Warrant Shares or any other securities of the Company
that may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor
shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder, 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, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change
of par value, or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger,
conveyance or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive
dividends or subscription rights. However, at the time of the exercise of this
Warrant pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Warrant Shares so
4
purchased hereunder shall be deemed to be issued to such holder as the record
owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this
Warrant shall have been exercised.
9. REMEDIES. If the Company shall fail to deliver to the holder
the Warrant Shares to be issued to the holder hereunder by the third Trading Day
following the Exercise Date, whether by physical delivery of certificates or by
book-entry transfer through DTC for such Warrant Shares, the Company shall, in
addition to any other remedies under this Warrant or at law or in equity, pay as
additional damages in cash to the holder, by the seventh (7th) Trading Day
following the Exercise Date, an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the value of
the Warrant Shares, and on each succeeding fifth (5th) Trading Day thereafter
until such Warrant Shares are delivered, an amount equal to two percent (2%), of
the value of the Warrant Shares not delivered to the holder by such third (3rd)
Trading Day following the Exercise Date, based on the Fair Market Value as of
the Exercise Date. The Company acknowledges that this remedy is partial and
non-exclusive.
10. LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT;
DENOMINATION. In the event that any holder notifies the Company that its
Warrant(s) have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then replacement Warrant(s)
identical in all respects to the original Warrant(s) (except for any
registration number and any adjustments to the Exercise Price or the number of
Warrant Shares issuable hereunder pursuant hereto, if different than that shown
on the original Warrant(s)) shall be delivered to the holder by the Company
within three (3) Trading Days; provided that such holder executes and delivers
to the Company an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company to indemnify
the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such Warrants. This
Warrant is exchangeable for an equal aggregate number of Warrants of different
denominations, as requested by the holder surrendering the same. No service
charge will be made for such registration, replacement, transfer or exchange.
11. SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS, HOLIDAYS, ETC. If the last or appointed
day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or
granted herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action
may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a
legal holiday.
12. EFFECT OF CERTAIN EVENTS. If at any time while this Warrant or
any portion hereof is outstanding and unexpired there shall be a Change in
Control Transaction, then the holder shall have the right thereafter to
purchase, by exercise of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such Change in Control Transaction, the
kind and amount of consideration including cash, stock, other securities, assets
or any other property, which it would have owned or have been entitled to
receive upon or after the happening of such transaction had this Warrant been
exercised immediately prior thereto, subject to further adjustment as provided
in Section 13. The Company shall not consummate a Change in Control Transaction
unless the entity resulting from such transaction (if not the Company), or such
transferee entity, as the case may be, shall expressly assume, by supplemental
agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the holder, the due
and punctual performance and observance of each and every covenant and condition
of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company.
13. ADJUSTMENTS OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES.
For purposes of any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section
13, the "EXERCISE PRICE" shall be deemed to be the Exercise Price as may have
been previously adjusted hereunder.
(a) Stock Dividends, Splits, Combinations and
Reclassifications. If, to the extent not covered by Section 12 above, the
Company or any Subsidiary, at any time while this Warrant or any portion thereof
is issued, outstanding and unexpired: (A) shall declare or pay a stock dividend
or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on any equity securities
(including securities convertible
5
into or exchangeable or exercisable for such equity securities) in shares of
Common Stock; (B) subdivide the then outstanding Common Stock into a larger
number of shares; (C) combine the then outstanding Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a
reclassification of the Common Stock (including, without limitation, in
connection with any merger or consolidation), then the Exercise Price then in
effect hereunder shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 13(a) shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
(b) Distributions. If the Company or any Subsidiary, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of
Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets or cash or rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, then the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on
the day following the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted by multiplying
such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Fair
Market Price (as defined below) per share of the Common Stock less the then fair
market value as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the portion
of the evidences of indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants so distributed
(and for which an adjustment to the Exercise Price has not previously been made
pursuant to the terms of this Section 13) applicable to one share of Common
Stock, and the denominator of which shall be such Fair Market Price per share of
the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the
opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution. "FAIR MARKET
PRICE" shall mean the closing market price per share of Common Stock on the
Principal Market on the Trading Day next preceding such fixed determination date
or such other date on which the Fair Market Price is being determined. The
Company shall deliver to each holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price
after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment and the computation thereof. In the event that the Exercise
Price shall change by more than 5%, the holder shall have the right to have the
fair market value determined by an independent nationally reputable investment
banker mutually selected by the Company and the holder, at the Company's
expense.
For the purposes of the foregoing adjustments, in the case of
the issuance of any Convertible Securities, the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible
Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding, provided that no further
adjustment shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise,
exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities.
(c) Inverse Proportional Adjustments to Exercise Price
and Warrant Shares. In the event of any adjustment in the number of Warrant
Shares issuable hereunder upon exercise pursuant to Section 13(a) or 13(b)
hereof, the Exercise Price shall be inversely proportionately increased or
decreased, as the case may be, such that aggregate purchase price for Warrant
Shares upon full exercise of this Warrant shall remain the same. Similarly, in
the event of any adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 13(a) or
13(b) hereof, the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder upon exercise
shall be inversely proportionately increased or decreased as the case may be,
such that aggregate purchase price for Warrant Shares upon full exercise of this
Warrant shall remain the same.
(d) Additional Sales or Issuances of Securities. If the
Company sells or issues any securities of the Company during the period ending
on the date (such date, the "FINAL DATE") that is the earlier to occur of (i)
February 10, 2005 or (ii) the first date after the date hereof on which the
Company
6
consummates one or more financings resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the
Company of $10,000,000 or more and, in connection with such subsequent sale(s)
or issuance(s), a party is issued one or more warrants to purchase a number of
shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents that is greater than 10% (the
percentage of shares which may be purchased by such warrant or warrants, the
"WARRANT COVERAGE PERCENTAGE") of the total number of shares of Common Stock or
Common Stock equivalents purchased by such party (excluding any warrants issued
other than in connection with a financing), then the number of Warrant Shares
issuable hereunder upon exercise shall be automatically increased (but not
decreased) by an amount (the "ADDITIONAL WARRANT SHARES AMOUNT") equal to (X)
the Warrant Coverage Percentage minus 10% multiplied by (Y) 2,295,230. Any
adjustment in the number of shares into which this Warrant is exercisable
pursuant to this Section 13(d) shall not result in an adjustment to the Exercise
Price pursuant to Section 13(c). In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, in the event of one or more partial transfers of this Warrant,
then the number of additional Warrant Shares, if any, into which this Warrant
may become exercisable pursuant to this Section 13(d) shall be proportionately
allocated between the Holder and any such partial transferees of this Warrant in
a manner such that under no circumstances will the aggregate number of
additional Warrant Shares issuable to all such transferee holders and the Holder
as a result of the adjustment contemplated by this Section 13(d) exceed the
Additional Warrant Shares Amount (and any replacement or partial replacement
Warrant certificates issued to any such transferees will reflect the allocation
contemplated by this sentence). In the event that the Company sells or issues
any securities on or prior to the Final Date other than in connection with a
placement of common stock, or any rights that could be exercised or converted
into common stock, with warrant coverage, the Company and the Holder shall
negotiate in good faith to determine the Additional Warrant Shares Amount, or in
the absence of agreement, such determination shall be made by a third party
independent appraiser mutually acceptable to the Company and the Holder, which
appraiser shall determine the Additional Warrant Shares Amount based on the
dilutive effect of any rights that could be exercised or converted into
securities issued in such sale(s) or issuance(s) as compared to the value of the
Warrant delivered in connection with the Purchase Agreement (with the objective
that the value of the Warrant issued in connection with the Purchase Agreement
(taking into account the size of the financing contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement) should be comparable to the value of the warrant issued in such other
sale(s) or issuance(s) (taking into account the size of the financing in such
other sale(s) or issuance(s)).
14. NOTICES. If:
(i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution) on its Common Stock; or
(ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash
dividend on or a redemption of its Common Stock; or
(iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to all
holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; or
(iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall
be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock
of the Company, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a
party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common
Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or
(v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company;
7
then the Company shall cause to be facsimiled and mailed to each holder at their
last addresses as they shall appear upon the Warrant register of the Company, at
least 20 business days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or
warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date fixed to determine which
holders of Common Stock of record will be entitled to such dividend,
distributions, redemption, rights or warrants and/or (y) the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is
expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected
that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their
shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
15. VOLUNTARY ADJUSTMENT BY THE COMPANY . The Company may at its
option, at any time during the term of this Warrant, reduce but not increase the
then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed
appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
16. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or
number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Company shall promptly
facsimile and mail by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to
the registered holder a notice setting forth the number of Warrant Shares (and
other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and
the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares after giving effect to such
adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.
17. AUTHORIZED SHARES . The Company covenants that during the
period this Warrant is outstanding and exercisable, it will reserve from its
authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide
for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any and all purchase
rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of
this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged
with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights
under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as is
necessary and within its control to assure that such Warrant Shares may be
issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation,
or of any requirements of the Principal Market or any other domestic securities
exchange or market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
