Company who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates shall cease to be
an officer of the Company or to hold the particular office referenced in the
Warrant Certificate before the date of issuance of the Warrant Certificates or
before countersignature by the Warrant Agent and issue and delivery thereof,
such Warrant Certificates may nevertheless be countersigned by the Warrant

Company or to hold such office. After countersignature by the Warrant Agent,
Warrant Certificates shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Registered
Holder without further action by the Company, except as otherwise provided by
Section 4(a) hereof.
SECTION 4. Exercise.
(a) Each Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder
thereof at any time on or after the Initial Exercise Date, but not after the
Warrant Expiration Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
herein and in the applicable Warrant Certificate. A Warrant shall be deemed to
have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the Exercise
Date and the person entitled to receive the securities deliverable upon such
exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of those securities
deliverable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder
of those securities upon the exercise of the Warrant as of the close of business
on the Exercise Date. As soon as practicable on or after the Exercise Date, the
Warrant Agent shall deposit the proceeds received from the exercise of a Warrant
and shall notify the Company in writing of the exercise of the Warrants.
Promptly following, and in any event within five days after the date of such
notice from the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent, on behalf of the Company,
shall cause to be issued and delivered by the Transfer Agent, to the person or
persons entitled to receive the same, a certificate or certificates for the
securities deliverable upon such exercise (plus a Warrant Certificate for any
remaining unexercised Warrants of the Registered Holder), unless prior to the
date of issuance of such certificates the Company shall instruct the Warrant
Agent to refrain from causing such issuance of certificates pending clearance of
checks received in payment of the Exercise Price pursuant to such Warrants. Upon
the exercise of any Warrant and clearance of the funds received, the Warrant
Agent shall promptly remit the payment received for the Warrant (the "Warrant
Proceeds") to the Company or as the Company may direct in writing.
5
(b) In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section
4(a), above, a Registered Holder may from time to time at the Registered
Holder's option convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company determined by dividing (A) the aggregate
Fair Value of such shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant minus the aggregate Exercise Price of such shares by (B) the
Fair Value of one such share.
SECTION 5. Reservation of Shares; Listing; Payment of Taxes; etc.
(a) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve
and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
issue upon exercise of Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall
then be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The Company
covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants shall, at the time of delivery, be duly and validly issued,
fully paid, nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with
respect to the issue thereof (other than those which the Company shall promptly
pay or discharge), and that upon issuance such shares shall be listed on each
national securities exchange on which the other shares of outstanding Common
Stock of the Company are then listed or shall be eligible for inclusion in the
Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market if the other shares of
outstanding Common Stock of the Company are so included.
(b) The Company covenants that if any securities to be
reserved for the purpose of exercise of the Warrants hereunder require
registration with, or approval of, any governmental authority under any federal
securities law before such securities may be validly issued or delivered upon
such exercise, then the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as
reasonably possible, endeavor to secure such registration or approval. The
Company will use reasonable efforts to obtain appropriate approvals or
registrations under state "blue sky" securities laws. With respect to any such
securities, however, Warrants may not be exercised by, or shares of Common Stock
issued to, any Registered Holder in any state in which such exercise would be
unlawful.
(c) The Company shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar
taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the
issuance of Warrants, or the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock
upon exercise of the Warrants; provided, however, that if the shares of Common
Stock are to be delivered in a name other than the name of the Registered Holder
of the Warrant Certificate representing any Warrant being exercised,
6
then no such delivery shall be made unless the person requesting the same has
paid to the Warrant Agent the amount of transfer taxes or charges incident
thereto, if any.
(d) The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to
requisition the Company's Transfer Agent from time to time for certificates
representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and
the Company will authorize the Transfer Agent to comply with all such proper
requisitions. The Company will file with the Warrant Agent a statement setting
forth the name and address of the Transfer Agent of the Company for shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
SECTION 6. Exchange and Registration of Transfer.
(a) Warrant Certificates may be exchanged for other Warrant
Certificates representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants of the same
class or may be transferred in whole or in part. Warrant Certificates to be
exchanged shall be surrendered to the Warrant Agent at its Corporate Office, and
upon satisfaction of the terms and provisions hereof, the Company shall execute
and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, issue and deliver in exchange therefor
the Warrant Certificate or Certificates which the Registered Holder making the
exchange shall be entitled to receive.
(b) The Warrant Agent shall keep at its office books in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall register
Warrant Certificates and the transfer of any Warrant Certificate at such office,
the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall issue and deliver to the
transferee or transferees a new Warrant Certificate or Certificates representing
an equal aggregate number of Warrants.
(c) With respect to all Warrant Certificates presented for
registration or transfer, or for exchange or exercise, the subscription form on
the reverse thereof shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer and subscription, in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the registered Holder or his
attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.
(d) A service charge may be imposed by the Warrant Agent for
any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates. In addition,
the Company may require payment by such holder of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
(e) All Warrant Certificates surrendered for exercise or for
exchange in case of mutilated Warrant Certificates shall be promptly canceled by
the Warrant Agent and thereafter retained by the Warrant Agent until termination
of this Agreement or resignation as Warrant Agent, or, with the prior written
consent of PHSG, disposed of or destroyed, at the direction of the Company.
7
(f) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer
thereof, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Registered
Holder of any Warrant certificate as the absolute owner thereof and of each
Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or
writing thereon made by anyone other than a duly authorized officer of the
Company or the Warrant Agent) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary. The Warrants, which are being publicly offered in Units
with shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, will
be immediately detachable from the Class A Common Stock and transferable
separately therefrom.
SECTION 7. Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company and the
Warrant Agent of evidence satisfactory to them of the ownership of and loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate and (in case of
loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to them, and (in the case
of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company shall
execute and the Warrant Agent shall (in the absence of notice to the Company
and/or Warrant Agent that the Warrant Certificate has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser) countersign and deliver to the Registered Holder in lieu thereof
a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor representing an equal aggregate number
of Warrants. Applicants for a substitute Warrant Certificate shall comply with
such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the
Warrant Agent may prescribe.
SECTION 8. Redemption.
(a) On not less than thirty (30) days notice given at any time after
_________ __, 199_ (the "Redemption Notice"), to Registered Holders of the
Warrants being redeemed, the Warrants may be redeemed, at the option of the
Company, at a redemption price of $0.05 per Warrant, provided the Market Price
of the Common Stock receivable upon exercise of such Warrants shall exceed $_.__
(the "Target Price"), subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 8(f), below.
Market Price shall mean (i) the average closing bid price of the Common Stock,
for twenty (20) consecutive business days (or such other period as PHSG may
consent to), ending on the Calculation Date, as reported by Nasdaq, if the
Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or (ii) the average last
reported sale price of the Common Stock, for twenty (20) consecutive business
days (or such other period as PHSG may consent to) ending on the Calculation
Date, as reported by the primary exchange on which the Common Stock is traded,
if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange, or by Nasdaq,
if the Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market. All Warrants must
be redeemed if any are redeemed. For purposes of this Section 8, the Calculation
Date shall mean a date within 15 days of the mailing of the Redemption Notice.
The date fixed for redemption of the Warrants is referred to herein as the
"Redemption Date."
(b) If the conditions set forth in Section 8(a) are met, and the
Company desires to exercise its right to redeem the Warrants, it shall request
the Warrant Agent to mail a Redemption Notice to each of the Registered Holders
of the Warrants to be redeemed, first class, postage prepaid, not later than the
thirtieth day before the date fixed for redemption, at their last address as
shall appear on the records maintained pursuant to Section 6. Any notice mailed
in the manner provided herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given whether or not the Registered Holder receives such notice.
(c) The Redemption Notice shall specify (i) the redemption price, (ii)
the Redemption Date, (iii) the place where the Warrant Certificates shall be
delivered and the redemption price paid, (iv) that the Warrant Agent will assist
each Registered Holder of a Warrant in connection with the exercise thereof and
(v) that the right to exercise the Warrant shall terminate at 5:00 P.M. (Arizona
time) on the business day immediately preceding the Redemption Date. No failure
to mail such notice nor any defect therein or in the mailing therein or in the
mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for such redemption
except as to a Registered Holder (a) to whom notice was not mailed or (b) whose
notice was defective. An affidavit of the Warrant Agent or of the Secretary or
an Assistant Secretary of the Warrant Agent or the Company that notice of
redemption has been mailed shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie
evidence of the facts stated therein.
(d) Any right to exercise a Warrant shall terminate at 5:00 P.M.
(Arizona time) on the business day immediately preceding the Redemption Date. On
and after the Redemption Date, Registered Holders of the Warrants shall have no
further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrant, the Redemption
Price.
(e) From and after the Redemption Date, the Company shall, at the place
specified in the Redemption Notice, upon presentation and surrender to the
Company by or on behalf of the Registered Holder thereof of one or more Warrant
Certificates evidencing Warrants to be redeemed, deliver or cause to be
delivered to or upon the written order of such Registered Holder a sum in cash
equal to the Redemption Price of each such Warrant. From and after the
Redemption Date and upon the deposit or setting aside by the Company of a sum
sufficient to redeem all the Warrants called for redemption, such Warrants shall
expire and become void and all rights hereunder and under the Warrant
Certificates, except the right to receive payment of the Redemption Price, shall
cease.
(f) If the shares of the Company's Common Stock are subdivided or
combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Target
Prices shall be proportionally adjusted by the ratio which the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event bears to the
total number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding immediately after such
event.
SECTION 9. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares of Common
Stock or Warrants.
(a) Exercise Price; Adjustment of Number of Shares. The
Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter
provided. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Registered Holders
shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment, a number of shares determined by multiplying the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares
purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing
the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(b) Adjustment of Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Common
Stock. In the event that the Company shall at any time issue or sell any
Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities, or declare any
dividend or authorize any other distribution upon any class of stock of the
Company payable in Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities,
and the Company shall receive consideration in respect of such issuance, sale,
dividend or distribution in an amount less than the Fair Value of the securities
so issued or sold or the securities with respect to which such dividend or
distribution relates, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such issuance, sale, dividend or distribution shall be
reduced to a number which shall be calculated by dividing (A) an amount equal to
the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such issuance, sale, dividend or distribution, multiplied by the then
existing Exercise Price plus (2) the aggregate consideration, if any, received
by the Company upon such issuance, sale, dividend or distribution, by (B) the
total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
8
immediately after such issuance, sale, dividend or distribution. In case at any
time on or after the date hereof, the Company shall declare any dividend, or
authorize any other distribution, upon any stock of the Company of any class,
payable in Additional Shares of Common Stock or by the issuance of Convertible
Securities, such declaration or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued
or sold (as of the record date) without consideration. For purposes of this
Section 9, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time
shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and
the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of
Common Stock for the purposes of this Section 9.
(c) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or
Sale. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of
the Company, or any or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another
corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall
be entitled to receive cash, stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provisions
shall be made whereby the Registered Holders shall thereafter have the right to
purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified
in this Warrant upon exercise of this Warrant and in lieu of the shares of the
Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable
upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, such cash, shares of stock,
securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange
for a number of outstanding shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares
of such Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the
exercise of the rights represented hereby, and in any such case appropriate
provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the
Registered Holders to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without
limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number
of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of
stock securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.
(d) Company to Prevent Dilution. In case at any time or from
time to time conditions arise by reason of action taken by the Company which are
not adequately covered by the provisions of this Section 9, and which might
materially and adversely effect the exercise rights of the Registered Holders
under this Warrant, the Board of Directors of the Company shall, cause an
appropriate adjustment to the Exercise Price and the number of shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, so as to preserve, without dilution,
the exercise rights of the Registered Holders.
(e) Stock Splits and Reverse Splits. In case at any time the
Company shall subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision
shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, in case at any time the
9
Company shall combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to
such combination shall be proportionately reduced.
(f) Dissolution, Liquidation and Wind-Up. In case the Company
shall, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant, dissolve, liquidate
or wind up its affairs, the Registered Holders shall be entitled, upon the
exercise of this Warrant, to receive, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of
the Company which such Registered Holders would have been entitled to receive,
the same kind and amount of assets as would have been issued, distributed or
paid to such Registered Holders upon any such dissolution, liquidation or
winding up with respect to such shares of Common Stock of the Company, had such
Registered Holders been the holders of record of the Warrant Shares receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant on the record date for the determination of
those persons entitled to receive any such liquidating distribution. After any
such dissolution, liquidation or winding up which shall result in any cash
distribution in excess of the Exercise Price provided for by this Warrant, the
Registered Holders may, at each such Registered Holder's option, exercise the
same without making payment of the Exercise Price, and in such case the Company
shall, upon the distribution to said Registered Holders, consider that said
Exercise Price has been paid in full to it and in making settlement to said
Registered Holders, shall deduct from the amount payable to such Registered
Holders an amount equal to such Exercise Price.
(g) Adjustment Certificate. In each case of an adjustment in
the number of shares of Common Stock or other stock, securities or property
receivable on the exercise of the warrants, the Board of Directors of the
Company and the Company's Chief Financial Officer shall compute such adjustment
in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare and duly execute and
deliver to the Registered Holders a certificate setting forth such adjustment
and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.
SECTION 10. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of Warrants.
With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon exercise hereof, such
fraction shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. A fraction of one-half
shall be rounded up to the next highest integer.
SECTION 11. Notices of Stock Dividends, Subscriptions,
Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers, etc.
If at any time: (i) the Company shall declare a cash or stock dividend
(or an increase in the then existing dividend rate), or declare a dividend on
Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its net earnings after taxes
for the prior fiscal year, or (ii) the Company shall authorize the granting to
the holders of Common Stock of rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or (iii) there shall be any
capital reorganization, or reclassification, or redemption of the capital stock
of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all
or substantially all of its assets to,
10
another corporation or firm; or (iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then the Company shall
give to the Registered Holders at the addresses of such Registered Holders as
shown on the books of the Company, at least twenty (20) days prior to the
applicable record date hereinafter specified, a written notice summarizing such
action or event and stating the record date for any such dividend or rights (or,
if a record date is not to be selected, the date as of which the holders of
Common Stock of record entitled to such dividend or rights are to be
determined), the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale of assets, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is
expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected the
holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to effect any exchange of
their shares of Common Stock for cash (or cash equivalent), securities or other
property deliverable upon any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale of assets, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
SECTION 12. Warrant Holders Not Deemed Stockholders. No holder of
Warrants shall, as such, be entitled to vote or to receive dividends or be
deemed the holder of Common Stock that may at any time be issuable upon exercise
of such Warrants for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall anything contained herein
be construed to confer upon the holder of Warrants, as such, any of the rights
of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of
directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof,
or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any
recapitalization, issue or reclassification of stock, change of par value or
change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger or conveyance or
otherwise), or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or
subscriptions rights, until such holder shall have exercised such Warrants and
been issued shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions hereof.
SECTION 13. Rights of Action. All rights of action with respect to this
Agreement are vested in the respective Registered Holders of the Warrants, and
any Registered Holder of a Warrant, without consent of the Warrant Agent or of
the holder of any other Warrant, may, in his own behalf and for his own benefit,
enforce against the Company his right to exercise his Warrants for the purchase
of shares of Common Stock in the manner provided in the Warrant Certificate and
this Agreement.
SECTION 14. Agreement of Warrant Holders. Every holder of a Warrant, by
his acceptance thereof,consents and agrees with the Company, the Warrant Agent
and every other holder of a Warrant that:
(a) The Warrants are transferable only on the registry books
of the Warrant Agent by the Registered Holder thereof in person or by his
attorney duly authorized in writing and only if the Warrant Certificates
representing such Warrants are surrendered at the office of the Warrant Agent,
duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer satisfactory to
the Warrant Agent and the Company in their sole discretion, together with
payment of any applicable transfer taxes; and
11
(b) The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the
person in whose name the Warrant Certificate is registered as the holder and as
the absolute, true and lawful owner of the Warrants represented thereby for all
purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any
notice or knowledge to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly provided in
Section 7 hereof.
SECTION 15. Cancellation of Warrant Certificates. If the Company shall
purchase or acquire any Warrant or Warrants, the Warrant Certificate or Warrant
Certificates evidencing the same shall thereupon be delivered to the Warrant
Agent and canceled by it and retired. The Warrant Agent shall also cancel the
Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates following exercise of any or all of
the Warrants represented thereby or delivered to it for transfer or exchange.
SECTION 16. Concerning the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent acts
hereunder as agent and in a ministerial capacity for the Company, and its duties
shall be determined solely by the provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent shall
not, by issuing and delivering Warrant Certificates or by any other act
hereunder be deemed to make any representations as to the validity, value or
authorization of the Warrant Certificates or the Warrants represented thereby or
of any securities or other property delivered upon exercise of any Warrant or
whether any stock issued upon exercise of any Warrant is fully paid and
nonassessable.
The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or
responsibility to any holder of Warrant Certificates to make or cause to be made
any adjustment of the Exercise Price or the Redemption Price provided in this
Agreement, or to determine whether any fact exists which may require any such
adjustments, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment,
when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same. It shall
not (i) be liable for any recital or statement of facts contained herein or for
any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in reliance on any Warrant
Certificate or other document or instrument believed by it in good faith to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties,
(ii) be responsible for any failure on the part of the Company to comply with
any of its covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement or in any
Warrant Certificate, or (iii) be liable for any act or omission in connection
with this Agreement except for its own negligence or wilful misconduct.
The Warrant Agent may at any time consult with counsel satisfactory to
it (who may be counsel for the Company) and shall incur no liability or
responsibility for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith in
accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel.
Any notice, statement, instruction, request, direction, order or demand
of the Company shall be sufficiently evidenced by an instrument signed by the
Chairman of the Board, President, any Vice President, its Secretary, or
Assistant Secretary (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein
specifically prescribed). The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with such notice, statement,
instruction, request, direction, order or demand believed by it to be genuine.
12
The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable compensation for
its services hereunder and to reimburse it for its reasonable expenses
hereunder; it further agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless
against any and all losses, expenses and liabilities, including judgments, costs
and counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the
execution of its duties and powers hereunder except losses, expenses and
liabilities arising as a result of the Warrant Agent's negligence or wilful
misconduct.
The Warrant Agent may resign its duties and be discharged from all
further duties and liabilities hereunder (except liabilities arising as a result
of the Warrant Agent's own negligence or wilful misconduct), after giving 30
days' prior written notice to the Company. At least 15 days prior to the date
such resignation is to become effective, the Warrant Agent shall cause a copy of
such notice of resignation to be mailed to the Registered Holder of each Warrant
Certificate of the Company's expense. Upon such resignation, or any inability of
the Warrant Agent to act as such hereunder, the Company shall appoint anew
warrant agent in writing. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment
within a period of 15 days after it has been notified in writing of such
resignation by the resigning Warrant Agent, then the Registered Holder of any
Warrant Certificate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a new warrant agent. Any new warrant agent, whether appointed by
the Company or by such a court, shall be a bank or trust company having a
capital and surplus, as shown by its last published report to its stockholders,
of not less than $10,000,000 or a stock transfer company that is a registered
transfer agent under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. After acceptance in
writing of such appointment by the new warrant agent is received by the Company,
such new warrant agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and
responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as the Warrant Agent,
without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed; but if for any reason it
shall be necessary or expedient to execute and deliver any further assurance,
conveyance, act or deed, the same shall be done at the expense of the Company
and shall be legally and validly executed and delivered by the resigning Warrant
Agent. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment the Company
shall file notice thereof with the resigning Warrant Agent and shall forthwith
cause a copy of such notice to be mailed to the Registered Holder of each
Warrant Certificate.
Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent or any new warrant agent
may be converted or merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation
to which the Warrant Agent or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any
corporation succeeding to the trust business of the Warrant Agent shall be a
successor warrant agent under this Agreement without any further act, provided
that such corporation is eligible for appointment as successor to the Warrant
Agent under the provisions of the preceding paragraph. Any such successor
warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to
be mailed to the Company and to the Registered Holder of each Warrant
Certificate.
The Warrant Agent, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and any of its or
their officers or directors, may buy and hold or sell Warrants or other
securities of the Company and otherwise deal with the Company in the same manner
and to the same extent and with like effects as
13
though it were not Warrant Agent. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant
Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal
entity.
SECTION 17. Modification of Agreement. Subject to the provisions of
Section 4(b), the parties hereto and the Company may by supplemental agreement
make any changes or corrections in this Agreement (i) that they shall deem
appropriate to cure any ambiguity or to correct any defective or inconsistent
provision or manifest mistake or error herein contained; (ii) to reflect an
increase in the number of Warrants which are to be governed by this Agreement
resulting from a subsequent public offering of Company securities which includes
Warrants having the same terms and conditions as the Warrants originally covered
by or subsequently added to this Agreement under this Section 15; or (iii) that
they may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not adversely affect the
interests of the holders of Warrant Certificates; provided, however, that this
Agreement shall not otherwise be modified, supplemented or altered in any
respect except with the consent in writing of the Registered Holders of Warrant
Certificates representing not less than 50% of the Warrants then outstanding;
and provided, further, that no change in the number or nature of the securities
purchasable upon the exercise of any Warrant, or the Exercise Price therefor, or
the acceleration of the Warrant Expiration Date, shall be made without the
consent in writing of the Registered Holder of the Warrant Certificate
representing such Warrant, other than such changes as are specifically
prescribed by this Agreement as originally executed or are made in compliance
with applicable law.
SECTION 18. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
made when delivered or mailed first class registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid as follows: if to the Registered Holder of a Warrant Certificate, at the
address of such holder as shown on the registry books maintained by the Warrant
Agent; if to the Company, at 0000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000,

000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000-0000.
SECTION 19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, without reference
to principles of conflict of laws.
SECTION 20. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Company and, the Warrant Agent and their respective
successors and assigns, and the holders from time to time of Warrant
Certificates. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to
confer upon any other person any right, remedy or claim, in equity or at law, or
to impose upon any other person any duty, liability or obligation.
SECTION 21. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at the close of
business on the earlier of the Warrant Expiration Date or the date upon which
all Warrants (including the warrants issuable upon exercise of the Option) have
been exercised, except that the Warrant
14
Agent shall account to the Company for cash held by it and the provisions of
Section 14 hereof shall survive such termination.
SECTION 22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, which taken together shall constitute a single document.
SECTION 23. Lockup. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Warrants (and related Warrant Certificates) issued to PHSG
pursuant to this Agreement and in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting
Agreement shall bear a restrictive legend that provides that the Warrant shall
not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of one
(1) year following the effective date of the Offering; provided, however, that
the Warrants may be transferred to such persons or entities as provided by Rule
2710 of the National Association of Securities Dealers.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed as of the date first above written.

lawful money of the United States of America in cash or by official bank or

In the event of certain contingencies provided for in the
Warrant Agreement, the Purchase Price or the number of shares of Common Stock
subject to purchase upon the exercise of each Warrant represented hereby are
subject to modification or adjustment.
Each Warrant represented hereby is exercisable at the option
of the Registered Holder, but no fractional shares of Common Stock will be
issued. In the case of the exercise of less than all the Warrants represented
hereby, the Company shall cancel this Warrant Certificate upon the surrender
hereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate
A-1

registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with
respect to such securities is effective. The Company has covenanted and agreed
that it will file a registration statement and will use its best efforts to
cause the same to become effective and to keep such registration statement
current while any of the Warrants are outstanding. The Warrants represented
hereby shall not be exercisable by a Registered Holder in any state where such
exercise would be unlawful.
This Warrant Certificate is exchangeable, upon the surrender
hereof by the Registered Holder at the corporate office of the Warrant Agent,
for a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor representing
an equal aggregate number of Warrants, each of such new Warrant Certificates to
represent such number of Warrants as shall be designated by such Registered
Holder at the time of such surrender. Upon due presentment with any applicable
transfer fee in addition to any tax or other governmental charge imposed in
connection therewith, for registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate
at such office, a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates representing
an equal aggregate number of Warrants will be issued to the transferee in
exchange therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement.
Prior to the exercise of any Warrant represented hereby, the
Registered Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the
Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive
dividends or other distributions, and shall not be entitled to receive any
notice of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided in the Warrant
Agreement.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer hereof,
the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Registered Holder as
the absolute owner hereof and of each Warrant represented hereby
(notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone
other than a duly authorized officer of the Company or the Warrant Agent) for
all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona.
