at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period, by presentation and
surrender hereof to the Company at its principal office at the address set forth
on the signature page hereof (or at such other address of the Company or any
agent appointed by the Company to act hereunder as the Company or such agent may
hereafter designate in writing to the Holder), with the exercise form annexed
hereto (the "Exercise Form") duly executed and accompanied by cash or a
certified or official bank check drawn to the order of "xxxxxxxxx.xxx, inc." (or
its successor in interest, if any) in the amount of the applicable Exercise
Price, multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares specified in such Exercise
Form, together with applicable transfer taxes, if any. If this Warrant should

be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests,
charges and other encumbrances or
2
restrictions on sale and free of all preemptive rights. Before taking any action
that would cause an adjustment pursuant to Section 7 hereof reducing the
Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take any corporate action that
may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares at the
Exercise Price as so adjusted.
Section 4. Transfer in Compliance with Applicable Securities Laws.
------------------------------------------------------
Neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares, nor any interest in either,
may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or in any other manner
transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, except in accordance with
applicable United States federal and state securities laws and the terms and
conditions hereof. The Company may require the Holder to obtain an opinion of
counsel, at the expense of the Holder, reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
that the proposed sale, offer for sale, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer
or disposition may be effected without registration under the Act or state
securities or Blue Sky laws. No opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a
transfer by the Holder to one or more Affiliates (as such term is defined in
Section 11(f) of the Warrant). Each Warrant shall bear a legend in substantially
=
the same form as the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant. Each
certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at
the time of exercise such Warrant Shares are registered under the Act, shall
bear a legend substantially in the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED OR REGISTERED UNDER STATE SECURITIES OR
BLUE SKY LAWS. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH
A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION, AND NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST OR
PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS AND THE
APPLICABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY
REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO
THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS.
Subject to this Section 4, this Warrant may be transferred and
assigned, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at
its principal office or to the Company's agent at its office, with the Warrant
Assignment Form duly executed and accompanied by funds sufficient to pay any
transfer tax, except that no transfer or assignment of this Warrant may be made
unless (A) the Company consents in writing to such transfer or assignment, which
consent may be withhold in its absolute discretion, and (B) the transferee has
agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by the provisions
of this Section 4 to the extent this Section 4 is then applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees that consent will not be
withheld in the case of a transfer or assignment of the Warrant in whole or in
part by the Holder to one or more Affiliates; provided, however, that if the
Warrant is transferred or assigned in part by the Holder to one or more
Affiliates, at least 100,000 Warrant Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to
Section 7) must underlie each transferred or assigned part of the Warrant.
The Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the
name of the assignee or assignees named in such Warrant Assignment Form and, if
the Holder's entire interest is not being transferred or assigned, in the name
of the Holder; and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.
3
Section 5. Lost, Mutilated or Missing Warrant. Upon receipt by the
----------------------------------
Company or its agent of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft or
destruction of this Warrant, and of satisfactory indemnification, and upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant if mutilated, the Company or its
agent shall execute and deliver a Warrant of like tenor and date in exchange for
this Warrant.
Section 6. Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue
--------------------
hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law
or in equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in
this Warrant.
Section 7. Certain Events.
--------------
(a) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations. If the Company shall
-------------------------------------------
(A) declare a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (or other securities
deliverable hereunder) payable in shares of capital stock (whether shares of
Common Stock or capital stock of any other class), (B) subdivide shares of the
Common Stock into a greater number of shares or (C) combine the Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares then, in any such event, the Holder shall be
entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares which, if the
Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to the record date for such action,
he would have been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, distribution,
subdivision or combination, and the Exercise Price shall be appropriately
adjusted. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed
above shall occur.
(b) Reorganization Event. In case of any Reorganization Event the
--------------------
Company shall, as a condition precedent to the consummation of the transaction
constituting, or announced as, such Reorganization Event, cause effective
provisions to be made so that the Holder shall have the right immediately
thereafter, by exercising this Warrant, to receive the aggregate amount and kind
of shares of stock and other securities and property that were receivable upon
such Reorganization Event by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
that would have been received immediately prior to such Reorganization Event
upon exercise of this Warrant. Any such provision shall include provision for
adjustments in respect of such shares of stock and other securities and property
that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
provided for in Section 7(a). The foregoing provisions of this Section 7(b)
shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events.
(c) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by
--------------
the provisions of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such
provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation
rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the
Company's Board of Directors in its reasonable judgment shall make an
appropriate adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise
of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holders of the Warrant.
(d) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock (or other
-----------------
securities deliverable hereunder) or scrip shall be issued to any Holder in
connection with the exercise of this Warrant. Instead of any fractional share
of Common Stock (or other securities deliverable hereunder) that would otherwise
be issuable to such Holder, the Company shall pay to such Holder a cash
adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to such
fractional interest multiplied by the Exercise Price on the date of such
exercise.
(e) Carryover. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7,
---------
no adjustment shall be made to the number of shares of Common Stock (or other
securities deliverable hereunder) to be delivered to each Holder (or
corresponding change to the Exercise Price) if such adjustment would represent
less than one percent of the number of shares to be so delivered, but any such
adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together
with the next subsequent adjustment which,
4
together with any adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to one percent or
more of the number of shares to be so delivered.
(f) Notices of Certain Events. If at any time after the date hereof
-------------------------
and before the expiration of the Exercise Period:
(i) the Company declares any dividend or distribution on its
Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock or otherwise
subdivides or combines the Common Stock;
(ii) there shall be any Reorganization Event;
(iii) there shall be any voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company; or
(iv) there shall be any other event that would result in an
adjustment pursuant to this Section 7 in the Exercise Price or
the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon the
exercise hereof;
the Company will cause to be mailed to the Holder, at least twenty days before
the applicable record or effective date, as applicable, for the action
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date as of which the holders of
Common Stock of record entitled to receive any such dividends or distributions
is to be determined, or (B) the date on which any such subdivision, combination,
Reorganization Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to
become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common
Stock of record will be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such Reorganization
Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
(g) Failure to Give Notice. The failure to give the notice required
----------------------
by Section 7(f) hereof or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or
validity of any dividend or distribution, subdivision, combination,
Reorganization Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up or the vote upon
any such action.
Section 8. Officers' Certificate. Whenever the number of Warrant
---------------------
Shares that may be purchased on exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price
is adjusted as required by the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the Company will
forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its
principal office and at the office of its agent an officers' certificate showing
the adjusted number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased at the Exercise
Price on exercise of this Warrant and the adjusted Exercise Price determined as
herein provided, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such
adjustment and the manner of computing such adjustment. Each such officers'
certificate shall be signed by the Chief Executive Officer, President or Chief
Financial Officer of the Company. Each such officers' certificate shall be made
available at all reasonable times for inspection by the Holder. The Company
shall, promptly after each such adjustment, cause such certificate to be mailed
to the Holder.
Section 9. Warrant Register. The Company will register this
----------------
Warrant in the Warrant Register in the name of the record holder to whom it has
been distributed or assigned in accordance with the terms hereof. The Company
may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner
hereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made
by anyone) for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
5
