2. Method of Exercise; Net Issue Exercise.
--------------------------------------
2.1 Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. The
----------------------------------------------------
purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the holder
hereof, in whole or in part and from time
to time, by either, at the election of the holder hereof, (a) the surrender of
this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1
duly executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the
Company, by certified or bank check or by wire transfer, of an amount equal to
the then applicable Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant
Shares then being purchased or (b) if in connection with a registered public
offering of the Company's securities (provided that such offering includes the
Warrant Shares and that the holder shall have elected to participate therein
pursuant to the exercise of the registration rights referred to in Article 7 of
the Conversion Agreement of the Company dated as of February 2, 1994 pursuant to
which this Warrant has been issued), the surrender of this Warrant (with the

satisfactory to the Company and any underwriter, in the case of an underwritten
registered public offering, for payment to the Company either by certified or
bank check or by wire transfer or from the proceeds of the sale of Warrant
Shares to be sold by the holder in such public offering of an amount equal to
the then applicable Warrant Price per Warrant Share multiplied by the number of
Warrant Shares then being purchased. The person or persons in whose name(s) any
certificate(s) representing Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the shares
represented thereby (and such shares shall be deemed to have been issued)
immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which this
Warrant is exercised and the then applicable Warrant Price paid. In the event of
any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the
shares of stock so purchased shall be delivered to the holder hereof as soon as
possible and in any event within thirty days of receipt of such notice and
payment of the then applicable Warrant Price and, unless this Warrant has been
fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant representing the portion of the
Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have
been exercised shall also be issued to the holder hereof as soon as possible and
in any event within such thirty-day period.
2.2 Net Issue Exercise.
------------------
(a) If at the time the holder proposes to exercise this Warrant the
Company has theretofore effected a registered public offering of its Common
Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") in lieu of
exercising this Warrant, the holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares equal to
the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled) by surrender
of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of
such election in which event the Company
- 2 -
shall issue to the holder a number of shares of the Warrant Shares computed
using the following formula:
X = Y (A - B)
-------
A
Where X - The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the
holder.
Y - the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under
this Warrant.
A - the fair market value of one Warrant Share.
B - Warrant Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculations).
(b) For purposes of this Section, fair market value of a Warrant Share
shall mean the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Company's
Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the closing price
quoted on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is
applicable, as published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal for
the ten trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value, or
if no transactions have occurred during such period, the last closing price at
which such Common Stock has traded.
3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All Warrant Shares that may
---------------------------------------
be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon
issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which the
rights represented by the Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all
times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of
the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of Warrant
Shares to provide for the exercise of the right represented by this Warrant.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind
------------------------------------------------
of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant and the Warrant Price
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain
events, as follows:
4.1 Reclassification. In case of any reclassification, change or
----------------
conversion of securities of the class of securities issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination), the Company, shall execute a new Warrant (in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the holder of this Warrant)
- 3 -
providing that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to exercise such
new Warrant and upon such exercise and payment of the then applicable Warrant
Price to receive, in lieu of each Warrant Share theretofore issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other
securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification or change
by a holder of one share of Common Stock. Such new Warrant shall provide for
adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 4.1. The provisions of this Section 4.1
shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes.
4.2 Subdivisions or Combinations of Shares. If the Company at any
--------------------------------------
time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or
combine its Common Stock, the Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise hereof shall be equitably adjusted.
4.3 Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is
---------------
outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock
(except any distribution specifically provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1
and 4.2), then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately
prior to such date of determination by a fraction (a) the numerator of which
shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall
be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
dividend or distribution and the number of Warrant Shares subject to this
Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted.
4.4 Dilutive Issuances. In the event the Company shall issue
------------------
additional shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into,
exchangeable for or exercisable for Common Stock (the "Additional Securities")
without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable
Warrant Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue
(other than shares of Common Stock issued to employees and consultants of the
Company in accordance with Section 5.12 of the Company's Series C and Series D
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 25, 1991 (the "Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement"), up to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares as adjusted for any
dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock), then and in such event,
such applicable Warrant Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to
a price (calculated to the nearest tenth of a cent) determined by multiplying
such applicable Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue
plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consi-
- 4 -
deration received by the corporation for the total number of shares of
Additional Securities so issued would purchase at such applicable Warrant Price;
and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares of such
Additional Securities so issued. For the purpose of performing the calculations
required by this Section 4.4, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion, exchange or exercise of outstanding securities (including, without
limitation, options issued to employees and consultants) shall be deemed to be
outstanding, and immediately after the consideration for any shares of
Additional Securities has been received, they shall be deemed to be outstanding.
4.5 No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter
-------------
or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, 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 to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
Article 4 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
impairment.
4.6 Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company
----------------------
of a record of its shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who
are entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, or for
the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to vote in connection
with any proposed merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other
corporation, or any proposed sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, or any proposed liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to the holder of this Warrant,
at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice
specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of
such dividend, distribution or vote, and the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or vote.
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price shall be adjusted
---------------------
pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Company shall within thirty (30) days of
such adjustment deliver a certificate signed by its chief financial officer to
the registered holder(s) hereof setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event
requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such
adjustment was calculated and the Warrant Price after giving effect to such
adjustment.
6. Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in
-----------------
connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of
- 5 -
such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the
basis of the Warrant Price then in effect.
7. Compliance with Securities Act; Disposition of Warrant or Shares.
----------------------------------------------------------------
7.1 Compliance with Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant, by
------------------------------
acceptance hereof, confirms as to itself the representations made by each
Investor in the Conversion Agreement and agrees to the placement of a
restrictive transfer legend on this Warrant and the certificates representing
the Warrant Shares.
7.2 Disposition of Warrant and Shares. With respect to any offer,
---------------------------------
sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares acquired
pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant prior to registration of such shares,
the holder hereof and each subsequent holder of this Warrant agrees to give
written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner
thereof, together with a written opinion of such holder's counsel, if reasonably
requested by the Company (and, in such case, such counsel and opinion must be
reasonably acceptable to the Company), to the effect that such offer, sale or
other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under
the Act) as then in effect or any federal or state law then in effect) of this
Warrant or such Warrant Shares and indicating whether or not under the Act
certificates for this Warrant or such Warrant Shares to be sold or otherwise
disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on
transferability in order to insure compliance with the Act. Each certificate
representing this Warrant or the Warrant Shares thus transferred (except a
transfer pursuant to Rule 144) shall bear a legend as to the applicable
restrictions on transferability in order to insure compliance with the Act,
unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the holder, such legend is not
required in order to insure compliance with the Act. Nothing herein shall
restrict the transfer of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the initial
holder hereof to any partner of the holder, any partnership affiliated with the
holder, or to any partner of any such partnership, provided such transfer may be
made in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. The
Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection
with the foregoing restrictions.
8. Rights as Shareholder; Additional Rights.
----------------------------------------
8.1 Shareholder Rights. No holder of the Warrant, as such, shall be
------------------
entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Warrant Shares
or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the
exercise thereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be
construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights
of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for
- 6 -
the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any
meeting thereof, or to receive notice of meetings (except as otherwise provided

or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided
herein.

exchange, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
property or business, or (ii) merge into or consolidate with any other
corporation (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), or effect any
transaction (including a merger or other reorganization) or series of related
transactions, in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is

hereof receives in connection with such transaction either (i) a new Warrant (in
