2. TITLE OF WARRANT. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records

holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any
exercise hereof or any distribution to the holder, and for all other purposes,
and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary except as
provided herein.
With the written consent of the Company, such written consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, prior to the expiration hereof and subject to compliance
with applicable laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in
whole or in part, at the office or agency of the Company by the holder hereof in
person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant together
with (a) the Assignment Form annexed hereto properly endorsed, and (b) any other
documentation reasonably necessary to satisfy the Company that such transfer is
in compliance with all applicable securities laws; provided that no such
transfer may be made to a person that is not an "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" as defined
in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act; and provided further that no
consent of the Company is required for any transfer or assignment in whole or in
part from time to time to an affiliate of the Purchaser or the then holder of
this Warrant that is an "ACCREDITED INVESTOR." The term "HOLDER" as used

herein shall refer to the Holder or any subsequent permitted transferee of this
Warrant. If this Warrant is duly assigned in accordance with the terms hereof,
then the Company agrees, upon the request of the assignee, to amend or
supplement promptly any effective registration statement covering the Warrant
Shares so that such assignee is entitled to be a selling stockholder thereunder.
3. AUTHORIZATION OF SHARES. The Company covenants that all shares of
Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of rights represented by this
Warrant will, upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant and
payment of the Exercise Price as set forth herein, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens,
encumbrances and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in
respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue or otherwise
specified herein).
4. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Exercise Procedure. Exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant may be made at any time and from time to time, in whole or in
part, on or after the date hereof but before 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the
Expiration Date, by delivering the Notice of Exercise annexed hereto duly
completed and executed (which delivery may be by facsimile) to the Company at
the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered holder hereof
at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company), and upon
payment of the full Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased (subject to
subsection (b) below), the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive a
certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock so purchased. Subject to
subsection (b) below, payment of the Exercise Price of the shares shall be by
certified check or cashier's check or by wire transfer to an account designated
by the Company in an aggregate amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by
the number of shares being purchased.
(b) Cashless Exercise. Alternatively, and only in the event the
Warrant Shares are not subject to Effective Registration, the Holder may
exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part in a "CASHLESS" or "NET-ISSUE"
exercise by delivering to the offices of the Company or any transfer agent for
the Common Stock a Notice of Exercise specifying the number of Warrant Shares to
be delivered to such Warrant holder ("DELIVERABLE SHARES") and the number of
Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised ("EXERCISED
SHARES"). The number of Deliverable Shares shall be calculated as follows:
Fair Market Value of Common Stock less Exercise Price
# of Deliverable Shares = # of Exercised Shares X
Fair Market Value of Common Stock
"FAIR MARKET VALUE" shall be deemed to be the last reported sale
price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of
exercise, or, if not reported, the fair market value of such Common Stock as
reasonably determined by the Company and such Holder.
(c) Issuance of Warrant Shares and Unexercised Warrants. Subject to
subsection (d) below, in the event that this Warrant is not exercised in full,
the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be
reduced by the number of such Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised
and/or surrendered pursuant to this Section 4, and the Company, at its expense,
shall within five (5) Trading Days, issue and deliver to or upon the order of
the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor in the name of the Holder or as the
Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may
request, reflecting such remaining number of Warrant Shares.
3
All exercises of this Warrant will be deemed to occur as of the date
of receipt by the Company of a validly executed Notice of Exercise (or such
later date as may be indicated on such Notice of Exercise) (such date being
referred to herein as the "EXERCISE DATE"), and certificates for shares of
Common Stock purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder hereof within
three (3) Trading Days after the Exercise Date. The Holder may withdraw its
Notice of Exercise under Section 3(a) or 3(b) upon written notice to the Company
at any time thereafter, in whole or in part, if the Company fails to timely
deliver the applicable certificates to the Holder as provided in this Warrant.
In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant
Shares issuable upon conversion of this Warrant, provided the Company's transfer
agent is a participant in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated
Securities Transfer ("FAST") program, upon request of the holder, the Company
shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically
transmit the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise to the holder, by crediting
the account of the holder's prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission ("DWAC") system. The time periods for delivery described above
shall apply to the electronic transmittals through the DWAC system. The Company
agrees to use its best commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with DTC to
accomplish this objective.
(d) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, upon partial exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms
hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to
the Company unless such Xxxxxx is purchasing the full amount of Warrant Shares
then represented by this Warrant. The Holder and the Company shall maintain
records showing the number of Warrant Shares so purchased hereunder and the
dates of such purchases or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory
to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this
Warrant upon each such exercise.
5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP. No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip
representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. Any fractional share or scrip shall be rounded up to the nearest whole
number.
6. CHARGES, TAXES AND EXPENSES. Issuance of certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to
the holder hereof for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in
respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses
shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name
of the holder of this Warrant or in such name or names as may be directed by the
holder of this Warrant; provided, however, that in the event certificates for
shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than the name of the
holder of this Warrant, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be
accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the holder
hereof, and provided further, that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax or taxes or any other fees or expenses applicable to the holder or its
transferee which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance of any Warrant certificates or any certificates for the Warrant Shares
in a name other than the name of the holder.
7. CLOSING OF BOOKS. The Company will at no time close its stockholder
books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this
Warrant.
8. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER UNTIL EXERCISE. Subject to Sections 12 and 13
of this Warrant and the provisions of any other written agreement between the
Company and the Holder, prior to the exercise of this Warrant as provided
herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be
deemed the holder of Warrant Shares or any other securities of the Company that
may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall
anything contained herein be construed to
4
confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the
Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter
submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent
to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock,
reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no par
value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to receive notice of
meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights. However, at the time
of the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Warrant Shares
so purchased hereunder shall be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the record
owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this
Warrant shall have been exercised.
9. REMEDIES. If the Company shall fail to deliver to the Holder the
Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder hereunder by the third Trading Day
following the Exercise Date, whether by physical delivery of certificates or by
book-entry transfer through DTC for such Warrant Shares, the Company shall, in
addition to any other remedies under this Warrant or at law or in equity, pay as
additional damages in cash to the Holder, by the seventh (7th) Trading Day
following the Exercise Date, an amount equal to one percent (1%), and on each
succeeding fifth (5th) Trading Day thereafter until such Warrant Shares are
delivered, an amount equal to two percent (2%), of the value of the Warrant
Shares not delivered to the Holder by such third (3rd) Trading Day following the
Exercise Date, based on the Fair Market Value as of the Exercise Date. The
Company acknowledges that this remedy is partial and non-exclusive.
10. LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT; DENOMINATION. In
the event that any holder notifies the Company that its Warrant(s) have been
lost, stolen or destroyed, then replacement Warrant(s) identical in all respects
to the original Warrant(s) (except for any registration number and any
adjustments to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable
hereunder pursuant hereto, if different than that shown on the original
Warrant(s)) shall be delivered to the holder by the Company within three (3)
Trading Days, provided that such holder executes and delivers to the Company an
agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from
any loss incurred by it in connection with such Warrants. This Warrant is
exchangeable for an equal aggregate number of Warrants of different
denominations, as requested by the holder surrendering the same. No service
charge will be made for such registration, replacement, transfer or exchange.
11. SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS, HOLIDAYS, ETC. If the last or appointed day for
the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be
taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a legal
holiday.
12. EFFECT OF CERTAIN EVENTS. If at any time while this Warrant or any
portion hereof is outstanding and unexpired there shall be a Change in Control
Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to purchase, by
exercise of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such Change in Control Transaction, the kind and amount of
consideration including cash, stock, other securities, assets or any other
property, which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive upon or
after the happening of such transaction had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior thereto, subject to further adjustment as provided in Section
13. The Company shall not consummate a Change in Control Transaction unless the
entity resulting from such transaction (if not the Company), or such transferee
entity, as the case may be, shall expressly assume, by supplemental agreement
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder, the due and
punctual performance and observance of each and every covenant and condition of
this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company.
5
13. ADJUSTMENTS OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. For
purposes of any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 13,
the "EXERCISE PRICE" shall be deemed to be the Exercise Price as may have been
previously adjusted hereunder.
(a) Stock Dividends, Splits, Combinations and Reclassifications. If,
to the extent not covered by Section 12 above, the Company or any Subsidiary, at
any time while this Warrant or any portion thereof is issued, outstanding and
unexpired: (A) shall declare or pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a
distribution or distributions on any equity securities (including securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such equity securities) in
shares of Common Stock; (B) subdivide the then outstanding Common Stock into a
larger number of shares; (C) combine the then outstanding Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares; or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a
reclassification of the Common Stock (including without limitation in connection
with any merger or consolidation), then the Exercise Price then in effect
hereunder shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and the denominator of
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares,
if any) outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 13(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision or combination.
(b) Distributions. If the Company or any Subsidiary, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common
Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets or cash or rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any security of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, then the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on
the day following the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted by multiplying
such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Fair
Market Price (as defined below) per share of the Common Stock less the then fair
market value as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the portion
of the evidences of indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants so distributed
(and for which an adjustment to the Exercise Price has not previously been made
pursuant to the terms of this Section 13) applicable to one share of Common
Stock, and the denominator of which shall be such Fair Market Price per share of
the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the
opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution. "FAIR MARKET
PRICE" shall mean the closing market price per share of Common Stock on the
Principal Market on the Trading Day next preceding such fixed determination date
or such other date on which the Fair Market Price is being determined. The
Company shall deliver to each holder of Warrants a notice setting forth the
Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment and the computation thereof. In the event that
the Exercise Price shall change by more than 5%, the holders of Warrants shall
have the right to have the fair market value determined by an independent
nationally reputable investment banker mutually selected by the Company and the
Holder, at the Company's expense.
For the purposes of the foregoing adjustments, in the case of the
issuance of any Convertible Securities, the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible
Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding, provided that no further
adjustment shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise,
exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities.
(c) Inverse Proportional Adjustments to Exercise Price and Warrant
Shares. In the event of any adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable
hereunder upon exercise, the Exercise Price shall be inversely proportionately
increased or decreased, as the case may be, such that aggregate
6
purchase price for Warrant Shares upon full exercise of this Warrant shall
remain the same. Similarly, in the event of any adjustment in the Exercise Price
hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder upon exercise shall
be inversely proportionately increased or decreased as the case may be, such
that aggregate purchase price for Warrant Shares upon full exercise of this
Warrant shall remain the same.
14. NOTICES. If:
(i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution)
on its Common Stock; or
(ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend
on or a redemption of its Common Stock; or
(iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the
Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
capital stock of any class or of any rights; or
(iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be
required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock of
the Company, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party,
any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is
converted into other securities, cash or property; or
(v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company;
then the Company shall cause to be facsimiled and mailed to each Holder at their
last addresses as they shall appear upon the Warrant register of the Company, at
least 20 business days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or
warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date fixed to determine which
holders of Common Stock of record will be entitled to such dividend,
distributions, redemption, rights or warrants and/or (y) the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is
expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected
that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their
shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
15. VOLUNTARY ADJUSTMENT BY THE COMPANY . The Company may at its option,
at any time during the term of this Warrant, reduce but not increase the then
current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed
appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
16. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number
or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Company shall promptly facsimile
and mail by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the
registered holder of this Warrant a notice setting forth the number of Warrant
Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares after giving effect to
such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.
7
17. AUTHORIZED SHARES. The Company covenants that during the period this
Warrant is outstanding and exercisable, it will reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance
of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any and all purchase rights under
this Warrant (without regard to the limitations contained in Section 18 below).
The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute
full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock
certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
will take all such reasonable action as is necessary and within its control to
assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the
Principal Market or any other domestic securities exchange or market upon which
the Common Stock may be listed.
18. EXERCISE LIMITATION.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon
exercise pursuant to the terms hereof shall not exceed a number that, when added
to the total number of shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by such
Holder (other than by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire
securities (including the Warrant Shares) that have limitations on the Holder's
right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth
herein), together with all shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned
(other than by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire
securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase
similar to the limitation set forth herein) by the Holder's "AFFILIATES" (as
defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act) ("AGGREGATION PARTIES") that would be
aggregated for purposes of determining whether a group under Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act exists, would exceed 9.9% of the total issued and outstanding
shares of the Common Stock (the "RESTRICTED OWNERSHIP PERCENTAGE"). Each Holder
shall have the right (x) at any time and from time to time to reduce its
Restricted Ownership Percentage immediately upon notice to the Company and (y)
(subject to waiver) at any time and from time to time, to increase its
Restricted Ownership Percentage immediately in the event of the announcement as
pending or planned, of a Change in Control Transaction.
(b) The Holder covenants at all times on each day (each such day
being referred to as a "COVENANT DAY") as follows: During the balance of such
Covenant Day and the succeeding sixty-one (61) days (the balance of such
Covenant Day and the succeeding 61 days being referred to as the "COVENANT
PERIOD") such Holder will not acquire shares of Common Stock pursuant to any
right (including, without limitation, exercise of this Warrant) existing at the
commencement of the Covenant Period to the extent the number of shares so
acquired by such Holder and its Aggregation Parties (ignoring all dispositions)
would exceed:
(i) the Restricted Ownership Percentage of the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding at the commencement of the Covenant
Period, minus
(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock actually owned by such
Holder and its Aggregation Parties at the commencement of the Covenant
Period.
A new and independent covenant will be deemed to be given by the
Holder as of each moment of each Covenant Day. No covenant will terminate,
diminish or modify any other covenant. The Holder agrees to comply with each
such covenant. This Section 18 controls in the case of any conflict with any
other provision of the Purchase Agreement or the Securities Purchase Agreement
or any agreement entered into in connection therewith.
8
The Company's obligation to issue Common Stock which would exceed
such limits referred to in this Section 18 shall be suspended to the extent
necessary until such time, if any, as shares of Common Stock may be issued in
compliance with such restrictions, provided that the Expiration Date shall not
be extended therefor.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in no event shall the
Company be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock hereunder to the extent
that the total number of shares issued or deemed issued to the Holder under the
Securities Purchase Agreement would exceed 19.9% of the Company's issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock on the date of of the Securities Purchase
Agreement unless otherwise approved in advance by the Company's stockholders.
Instead, the Company shall redeem this Warrant to the extent necessary for such
consideration as is required to place the Holder in the same economic position
they would have been if not for such limitation or as otherwise provided under
the Securities Purchase Agreement.
