Common Stock Purchase Warrant
New York, New York
No. W-1 August 12, 1999
Information Management Associates, Inc. (the "Company"), a Connecticut
corporation, for value received, hereby certifies that Wand Equity Portfolio
Fund II L.P. and Wand Affiliates Fund L.P., or their registered assigns
(collectively, the "Holder"), are entitled to purchase from the Company the
number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares
of common stock, without par value of the Company (the "Common Stock") set forth
opposite their names on Exhibit A hereto, at the purchase price per share equal
to the higher of (i) $3.25 or (ii) the last sale price of the Company's Common
Stock reported as of the close of trading on the NASDAQ National Market on
August 12, 1999, at any time or from time to time prior to 5:00 P.M., New York
City time, on August 11, 2007 (or such later date as may be determined pursuant
to section 18), all subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments set forth
below in this Warrant.
This Warrant is the Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Warrant", such
term to include any such warrants issued in substitution therefor) originally
issued in connection with the Senior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note
and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated August 12, 1999, by and among the Company
and the Holder, and the issue by the Company of a 9% Senior Subordinated
Convertible Note, dated August 12, 1999, to the Holder. The Warrant originally
so issued evidences rights to purchase an aggregate of 425,000 shares of Common
Stock subject to adjustment as provided herein. Certain capitalized terms used
in this Warrant are defined in section 13; references to an "Exhibit" are,
unless otherwise specified, to one of the Exhibits attached to this Warrant and
references to a "section" are, unless otherwise specified, to one of the
sections of this Warrant.
1. Exercise of Warrant.
1.1. Manner of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder,
in whole or in part, during normal business hours on any Business Day, by
surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office, accompanied by
a subscription in substantially the form attached to this Warrant (or a
reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by the Holder and accompanied by
payment, in cash, by certified or official bank check payable to the order of
the Company or by wire transfer, in lawful money of the United States of
America, or in the manner provided in section 1.5 or section 1.6 (or by any
combination of such methods), in the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the
number of shares of Common Stock (without giving effect to any adjustment
thereof) designated in such subscription by (b) $3.25, and such holder shall
thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
determined as provided in sections 2 through 4.
1.2. 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 the Company as
provided in section 1.1, and at such time the Person or Persons in whose name or
names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in section 1.3
shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof.
1.3. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. As soon as practicable after
each exercise from time to time of this Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any
event within five Business Days thereafter, the Company at its expense
(including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be
issued in the name of and delivered to the holder hereof or, subject to section
9, as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes)
may direct,
(a) a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common
Stock (or Other Securities) to which such holder shall be entitled upon
such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder
would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount equal to the same fraction
of the Market Price per share on the Business Day next preceding the date
of such exercise, and
(b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant or Warrants
of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for
the number of shares of Common Stock equal (without giving effect to any
adjustment thereof) to the number of such shares called for on the face of
this Warrant minus the number of such shares designated by the holder upon
such exercise as provided in section 1.1.
All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
1.4. Company to Reaffirm Obligations. The Company will, at the time of
each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder, acknowledge in
writing its continuing obligation to afford to the 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 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.
1.5 Payment by Application of Shares Otherwise Issuable. Upon any
exercise of this Warrant, the Holder may, at its option, instruct the Company,
by written notice accompanying the surrender of this Warrant at the time of such
exercise, to apply to the payment required by section 1.1 such number of the
shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to such holder upon such exercise as
shall be specified in such notice, in which case an amount equal to the excess
of the aggregate Current Market Price of such specified number of shares on the
date of exercise over the portion of the payment required by section 1.1
attributable to such shares 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.
2. Adjustment of Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise.
2.1. General; Warrant Price. The number of shares of Common Stock
which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon each exercise
hereof shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock
which would otherwise (but for the provisions of this section 2) be issuable
upon such exercise, as designated by the holder hereof pursuant to section 1.1,
by the fraction of which (a) the numerator is $3.25 and (b) the denominator is
the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise. The "Warrant Price"
shall initially be $3.25 per share, shall be adjusted and readjusted from time
to time as provided in this section 2 and, as so adjusted or readjusted, shall
remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment thereof is required
by this section 2.
2.2. Adjustment of Warrant Price.
2.2.1 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 2.3 or 2.4) without consideration
or for a consideration per share less than the lesser of the Current Market
Price and the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale,
then, and in each such case, subject to section 2.8, such Warrant 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 Warrant Price by a
fraction
(a) the numerator of which shall be (i) the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale plus (ii) 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 the lesser of such Current Market
Price and such Warrant 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 2.2.1, (x) immediately after any
Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to have been issued pursuant to
section 2.3 or 2.4, such Additional Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding,
and (y) treasury shares shall not be deemed to be outstanding.
2.2.2 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 dividend
payable in Additional Shares of Common Stock, then, and in each such case,
subject to section 2.8, the Warrant 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 (calculated to the nearest .001 of a cent) determined by reducing such
Warrant Price by the amount of such dividend or distribution (as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) applicable to one share of
Common Stock.
2.3. 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 entitled to receive, any Options or
Convertible Securities, 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
the consideration per share (determined pursuant to section 2.5) of such shares
would be less than the lesser of the Current Market Price and the Warrant 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 provided,
further, that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are
deemed to be issued
(a) no further adjustment of the Warrant 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; provided, that, no such further adjustment shall be made
if such event or occurrence results in an adjustment to the Warrant Price
under the other provisions hereof that equitably accounts for such event or
occurrence.
(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 Warrant 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 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 Warrant 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, 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 2.5) 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 Warrant 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 Warrant 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.
2.4. 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.
2.5. Computation of Consideration. For the purposes of this section 2,
(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, as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company (subject to confirmation by a firm of
independent certified public accountants of recognized standing
approved by the Holder), 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, all
as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company
(subject to confirmation by a firm of independent public accountants
of recognized standing approved by the Holder);
(b) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
pursuant to section 2.3, 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 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 2.4, relating to stock dividends, stock splits, etc.,
shall be deemed to have been issued for no consideration.
2.6. 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 Warrant Price in
effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall,
concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be
proportionately increased.
2.7. 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 3) 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 2, the purchase rights granted by this Warrant,
then, and in each such case, the computations, adjustments and readjustments
provided for in this section 2 with respect to the Warrant Price 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.
2.8. Minimum Adjustment of Warrant Price. If the amount of any
adjustment of the Warrant Price required pursuant to this section 2 would be
less than one percent (1%) of the Warrant 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 at least one percent (1%)
of such Warrant Price.
3. Consolidation, Merger, etc.
3.1. Adjustments for Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets,
Reorganization, etc. In case the Company after the date hereof (a) shall
consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing
or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) shall 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) shall transfer all or substantially all of its
properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) shall effect a capital
reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock or Other Securities
(other than a capital reorganization or reclassification resulting in the issue
of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which adjustment in the Warrant Price
is provided in section 2.2.1 or 2.2.2), 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 Warrant 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 the rights represented by this Warrant
immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such
consummation) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for
in sections 2 through 4.
3.2. Assumption of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Warrant to the contrary, the Company will not effect any of the
transactions described in clauses (a) through (d) of section 3.1 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, (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),
and (b) 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 3, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and such Person shall
have similarly delivered to the Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person,
which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such holder, stating that this
Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof
(including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this section 3) shall
be applicable to the stock, securities, cash or property which such Person may
be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any
rights pursuant hereto.
4. Other Dilutive Events. In case any event shall occur as to which
the provisions of section 2 or section 3 are not strictly applicable but the
failure to make any adjustment 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 (such firm to be subject to the approval of the Holder), which shall
give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the
essential intent and principles established in sections 2 and 3, necessary to
preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant.
Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to
the Holder and shall make the adjustments described therein.
5. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will 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 (a) will 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) will 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 on the exercise of the
Warrants from time to time outstanding, (c) will not take any action which
results in any adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable after the action upon the exercise
of the Warrant 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) will 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.
6. Accountants' Report 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, the Company at its expense will
promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of
this Warrant and cause independent certified public accountants of recognized
national standing (such firm to be subject to the approval of The Holder)
selected by the Company to verify such computation and prepare a report 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, and (c) the Warrant Price in
effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted
(if required by section 2) on account thereof. The Company will forthwith mail a
copy of each such report to The Holder and will, upon the written request at any
time of the Holder, furnish to the Holder a like report setting forth the
Warrant Price at the time in effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was
calculated. The Company will also keep copies of all such reports at its
principal office and will cause the same to be available for inspection at such
office during normal business hours by The Holder or any prospective purchaser
of a Warrant designated by the holder thereof.
7. 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 (other than a regular periodic dividend
payable in cash out of earned surplus in an amount not exceeding the amount
of the immediately preceding cash dividend for such period) 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 or any consolidation
or merger involving the Company and any other Person or any transfer 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 will mail to each holder of a Warrant 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, 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 30 days prior to the date therein specified.
8. Registration of Common Stock. If any shares of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) 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 will, 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. At any such time as Common Stock is
listed on any national securities exchange, the Company will, at its expense,
obtain promptly and maintain the approval for listing on each such exchange,
upon official notice of issuance, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the then outstanding Warrants and maintain the listing of such
shares after their issuance; and the Company will also list on such national
securities exchange, will register under the Exchange Act and will maintain such
listing of, any Other Securities that at any time are issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants, if and at the time that any securities of the same class shall be
listed on such national securities exchange by the Company.
9. Restrictions on Transfer.
9.1. Restrictive Legends. Except as otherwise permitted by this
section 9, each Warrant (including each Warrant issued upon the transfer of any
Warrant) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form:
"This Warrant and any shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and may not be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of except
while a registration under such Act is in effect or pursuant to an
exemption therefrom under such Act. This Warrant and such shares may be
transferred only in compliance with the conditions specified in this
Warrant."
Except as otherwise permitted by this section 9, each certificate for Common
Stock (or Other Securities) issued upon the exercise of any Warrant, and each
certificate issued upon the transfer of any such Common Stock (or Other
Securities), shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in
substantially the following form:
"The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be transferred in the absence
of such registration or an exemption therefrom under such Act. Such shares
may be transferred only in compliance with the conditions specified in
certain Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued by Information Management
Associates, Inc. A complete and correct copy of the form of such Warrant is
available for inspection at the principal office of Information Management
Associates, Inc. or at the office or agency maintained by Information
Management Associates, Inc. as provided in such Warrant and will be
furnished to the holder of such shares upon written request and without
charge."
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion
of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under the Act)
shall also bear such legend unless the holder of such certificate delivers to
the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that an
exemption from registration under the Act is available with respect to Common
Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant.

reporting requirements of Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and will
comply with all other public information reporting requirements of the
Commission (including Rule 144 adopted by the Commission under the Securities
Act) from time to time in effect and relating to the availability of an
exemption from the Securities Act for the sale of any Common Stock. The Company
will furnish to each holder of any Warrants, promptly upon their becoming
available, copies of all financial statements, reports, notices and proxy
statements sent or made available generally by the Company to its stockholders,
and copies of all regular and periodic reports and all registration statements
and prospectuses filed by the Company with any securities exchange or with the
Commission.
11. Reservation of Stock, etc. The Company will at all times reserve
and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the
Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time
to time issuable upon exercise of all Warrants at the time outstanding. All
shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon exercise of any
Warrants shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be
validly issued and, in the case of shares, fully paid and nonassessable with no
liability on the part of the holders thereof.
12. Registration and Transfer of Warrants, etc.
12.1. Warrant Register; Ownership of Warrants. The Company will keep

registration of Warrants and the registration of transfers of Warrants. The
Company may treat the Person in whose name any Warrant is registered on such
register as the owner thereof for all other purposes, and the Company shall not
be affected by any notice to the contrary, except that, if and when any Warrant
is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to)
treat the bearer thereof as the owner of such Warrant for all purposes. Subject
to section 9, a Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder
without a new Warrant first having been issued.
12.2. Transfer and Exchange of Warrants. Upon surrender of any Warrant
for registration of transfer or for exchange to the Company at its principal
office, the Company at its expense will (subject to compliance with section 9,
if applicable) execute and deliver in exchange therefor a new Warrant or
Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such holder or as such holder (upon
payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in
the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common
Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered.
12.3. Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of any Warrant,
upon delivery of an indemnity bond in such reasonable amount as the Company may
determine or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon the surrender of such
Warrant for cancellation to the Company at its principal office, the Company at
its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like
tenor.
