exercise this Warrant, on any Business Day, for all or any part of the number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.
In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, Holder
shall deliver to the Company at the office or agency designated by the Company
pursuant to Section 12, (i) a written notice of Holder's election to exercise
this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to
be purchased, (ii) payment by cash, check or bank draft payable to the Company
of the Warrant Price in cash or by wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a
3
United States bank for all shares then being purchased and (iii) this Warrant.
Such notice shall be substantially in the form of the subscription form
appearing at the end of this Warrant as Exhibit 1, duly executed by Holder or
its agent or attorney. Upon receipt of the items referred to in clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) above, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any
event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, execute or cause to be executed
and deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as
hereinafter provided. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall
be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as Holder
shall request in the notice and shall be registered in the name of Holder or,
subject to Section 9, such other name as shall be designated in the notice. This
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or
certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other Person
so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of
record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been
exercised by payment to the Company of the Warrant Price. If this Warrant shall
have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the
certificate or certificates representing Warrant Stock, deliver to Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased shares of
Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other
respects be identical with this Warrant.
The Holder shall be entitled to exercise the Warrant
notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. ss. 101 et seq.
(the "Bankruptcy Code"). In the event the Company is a debtor under the
Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted any
rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. ss. 362 in respect of the Holder's
exercise right. The Company hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted any
rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. ss. 362 in respect of the exercise
of the Warrant. The Company agrees, without cost or expense to the Holder, to
take or consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate relief under 11
U.S.C. ss. 362.
2.2. Payment of Taxes and Charges. All shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and without any preemptive rights.
The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other
governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issue or delivery
thereof.
2.3. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to
issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon
such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final
fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price per share
of Common Stock on the relevant exercise date.
2.4. Continued Validity. A holder of shares of Common Stock
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part (other than a
holder who acquires such shares after the same have been publicly sold pursuant
to a Registration Statement under the Securities Act or sold pursuant to Rule
144 thereunder), shall continue to be entitled with respect to such shares to
all rights to which it would have been entitled as Holder under Sections 9, 10
and 14 of this Warrant. The Company will, at the time of exercise of this
Warrant, in whole or in part, upon the request of Holder, acknowledge in
writing, in form reasonably satisfactory to Holder, its continuing obligation to
afford Holder all such rights; provided, however, that if Holder shall fail to
make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation
of the Company to afford to Holder all such rights.

3. TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION
3.1. Transfer. Subject to compliance with Sections 9, transfer
of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be
registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon
surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company referred to in
Section 2.1 or the office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to
Section 12, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in
the form of Exhibit 2 hereto duly executed by Holder or its agent or attorney.
Upon such surrender, the Company shall, subject to Section 9, execute and
deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and
in the denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue
to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so
assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly
assigned in compliance with Section 9, may be exercised by a new Holder for the
purchase of shares of Common Stock without having a new Warrant issued.
3.2. Division and Combination. Subject to Section 9, this
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office or agency of the Company, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued,
signed by Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section
3.1 and with Section 9, as to any transfer which may be involved in such
division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in
accordance with such notice.
3.3. Expenses. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at
its own expense the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 3.
3.4. Maintenance of Books. The Company agrees to maintain, at
its aforesaid office or agency, books for the registration and the registration
of transfer of the Warrants.
4. ADJUSTMENTS
The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable, or the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in
this Section 4. The Company shall give Holder notice of any event described
below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 at the time of
such event.
4.1. Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any
time the Company shall:
(a) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other
distribution of, Additional Shares of Common Stock,
(b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or
(c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,
then (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall
be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder
of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be
entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (ii) the Current
Warrant Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Current Warrant Price
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of
shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
5
4.2. Certain Other Distributions.
In case the Company shall issue any Common Stock or any
rights, options or warrants to all holders of record of its Common Stock
entitling all holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price per share less than the Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the
date fixed for such issue, the Current Warrant Price in effect immediately prior
to the close of business on the date fixed for such determination shall be
reduced to the amount determined by multiplying such Current Warrant Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for
such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered
for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Market Price and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for such
determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for
subscription or purchase, such reduced amount to become effective immediately
after the close of business on the date fixed for such determination. For the
purposes of this clause (b), (i) the number of shares of Common Stock at any
time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company
and (ii) in the case of any rights, options or warrants which expire by their
terms not more than 60 days after the date of issue, sale, grant or assumption
thereof, no adjustment of the Current Warrant Price shall be made until the
expiration or exercise of all rights, options or warrants, whereupon such
adjustment shall be made in the manner provided in this clause (b), but only
with respect to the shares of Common Stock actually issued pursuant thereto.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event specified above
shall occur. In the event that any or all rights, options or warrants covered by
this clause (b) are not so issued or expire or terminate before being exercised,
the Current Warrant Price then in effect shall be appropriately readjusted.
4.3. Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this
Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of
adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable and the Current Warrant Price provided for in this Section 4:
(a) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments
required by this Section 4 shall
be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment
shall occur. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be
deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(b) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments
under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into
account to the nearest 1/10th of a share.
(c) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company
shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase
rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders
thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution,
subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required
by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made
in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
6
(d) Challenge to Good Faith Determination. Whenever
the Board of Directors of the Company shall be required to make a determination
in good faith of the fair value of any item under this Section 4, such
determination may be challenged in good faith by the Holder, and any dispute
shall be resolved by an investment banking firm of recognized national standing
selected by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company.
(e) Proceeding Prior to Any Action Requiring
Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would
require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, the Company shall take any
action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory approvals or
exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue
as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock which the Holder is
entitled to receive upon exercise hereof.
4.4. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation
or Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital,
reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another
corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there
is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company),
or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property,
assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of
assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any
cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever
(including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or
in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("Other
Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock
of the Company, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon
exercise of the Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor
or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor
or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the
due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and
condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all
the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may
be deemed appropriate, subject to the Holder's consent, in order to provide for
adjustments of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided
for in this Section 4. For purposes of this Section 4.4, "common stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of
any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class
of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall
also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities
which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either
immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a
specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase
any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly
apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations
or disposition of assets.
4.5. Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case at any time
or from time to time the Company shall take any action in respect of its Common
Stock, other than any action taken in the ordinary course of the Company's
business or any action described in this Section 4, which would have a material
adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder, the number of shares of Common
Stock and/or the purchase price thereof shall be adjusted in such manner as may
be equitable in the circumstances, as determined in good faith by an investment
bank selected by Holder.
7
4.6. Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Company agrees not to enter into any transaction which, by
reason of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the Current Warrant Price to be
less than the par value per share of Common Stock.
4.7. No Voting Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle its
Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company.
5. NOTICES TO HOLDER
5.1. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, or whenever the price at
which a share of such Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of the
Warrants, shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall forthwith
prepare a certificate to be executed by an executive officer of the Company
setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the
method by which such adjustment was calculated, specifying the number of shares
of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and describing the number
and kind of any other shares of stock or Other Property for which this Warrant
is exercisable, and any change in the purchase price or prices thereof, after
giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Company shall promptly cause a
signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder in accordance with
Section 14.2. The Company shall keep at its office or agency designated pursuant
to Section 12 copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available
for inspection at said office during normal business hours by the Holder, its
representatives, or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the
Holder.
5.2. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of
its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or
other distribution (whether in cash, or any right to subscribe for or purchase
any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property of any nature whatsoever, or to receive any warrants or
other rights (including, without limitation, rights to subscribe for or purchase
any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its stock or any other
securities or property of any nature whatsoever), or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the
Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the
Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale,
transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets
or business of the Company to, another corporation, or
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at
least thirty (30) Business Days' prior written notice of the date on which a
record date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for
determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least thirty (30)
Business Days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place.
Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the
date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be
8
entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and
character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
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 Common Stock shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder
at the last address of Holder appearing on the books of the Company and
delivered in accordance with Section 14.2.
A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in
par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value)
into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be
deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock of such
shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section and, if
the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller
number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change
shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4.1.
6. NO IMPAIRMENT
The Company shall not by any action, including, without
limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any
reorganization, 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 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 actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the
rights of Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of
Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount
payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par
value, (b) 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
Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use its best efforts to
obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public
regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the
Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Upon the request of Holder, the Company will at any time
during the period this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form
reasonably satisfactory to Holder, the continuing validity of this Warrant and
the obligations of the Company hereunder.
7. RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF COMMON STOCK
From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall at all
times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such
number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be
sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. All
shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of
any Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant,
shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not
subject to preemptive rights.
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment
reducing the Current Warrant Price below the then par value, if any, of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall
take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common
Stock at such adjusted Current Warrant Price.
9
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment
in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or
in the Current Warrant Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations
or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public
regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
8. TAKING OF RECORD; STOCK AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS
In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the
Company to the holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision
of Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will
in each such case take such a record as of the close of business on a Business
Day. The Company will not at any time close its stock transfer books or Warrant
transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or
transfer of any Warrant.
9. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY
The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall not be transferred,
hypothecated or assigned before satisfaction of the conditions specified in this
Section 9, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the Transfer of any Warrant or
any Warrant Stock. Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to be bound by
the provisions of this Section 9.

and any Warrant Stock agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Stock issuable

Securities Act or (ii) a registration statement relating to such securities has
been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Commission.

substantially worded as follows unless such securities have been sold pursuant

securities may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned,
offered, transferred or otherwise distributed for value except
(i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Act or any state securities laws or (ii) pursuant to an
exemption from registration or prospectus delivery
requirements under the Act or any state securities laws in
respect of which the Company has received an opinion of
counsel satisfactory to the Company to such effect. Copies of
the agreement covering both the purchase of the securities and
restricting their transfer may be obtained at no cost by
written request made by the holder of record of this
certificate to the Secretary of the Company at the principal
executive offices of the Company."
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9,
the Warrant shall be stamped

have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or any state securities laws and may not be

regulations thereunder or any state securities laws or the
provisions of this Warrant."
9.2. Notice of Proposed Transfers. Prior to any Transfer or
attempted Transfer of any Warrants or any shares of Restricted Common Stock, the
Holder shall give five (5) days' prior written notice (a "Transfer Notice") to
the Company of Holder's intention to effect such Transfer, describing the manner
and circumstances of the proposed Transfer, and obtain from counsel to Holder an
opinion that the proposed Transfer of such Warrants or such Restricted Common
Stock may be effected without registration under the Securities Act or state
securities laws. After the Company's receipt of the Transfer Notice and opinion,
such Holder shall thereupon be entitled to Transfer such Warrants or such
Restricted Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Transfer Notice.
Each certificate, if any, evidencing such shares of Restricted Common Stock
issued upon such Transfer and the Warrant issued upon such Transfer shall bear
the restrictive legends set forth in Section 9.1, unless in the opinion of such
counsel such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the
Securities Act.
9.3. Termination of Restrictions. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of Section 9, the restrictions imposed by this Section upon
the transferability of the Warrants, the Warrant Stock and the Restricted Common
Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants) and the
legend requirements of Section 9.1 shall terminate as to any particular Warrant
or share of Warrant Stock or Restricted Common Stock (or Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of the Warrants) (i) when and so long as such security shall
have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws and disposed of pursuant thereto or (ii) when the Company shall
have received an opinion of counsel that such shares may be transferred without
registration thereof under the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws. Whenever the restrictions imposed by Section 9 shall terminate as to this
Warrant, as hereinabove provided, the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive
from the Company upon written request of the Holder, at the expense of the
Company, a new Warrant bearing the following legend in place of the restrictive
legend set forth hereon:
"THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF THE WITHIN
WARRANT CONTAINED IN SECTION 9 HEREOF TERMINATED ON ________,
20__, AND ARE OF NO FURTHER FORCE AND EFFECT."
All Warrants issued upon registration of transfer, division or combination of,
or in substitution for, any Warrant or Warrants entitled to bear such legend
shall have a similar legend endorsed thereon. Whenever the restrictions imposed
by this Section shall terminate as to any share of Restricted Common Stock, as
hereinabove provided, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the
Company, at the Company's expense, a new certificate representing such Common
Stock not bearing the restrictive legends set forth in Section 9.1.
9.4. Listing on Securities Exchange. If the Company shall list
any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange, it will, at its expense,
list thereon, maintain and, when necessary, increase such listing of, all shares
of Common Stock issued or, to the extent permissible under the applicable
securities exchange rules, issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant so long as
any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed during the Exercise Period.
11
10. SUPPLYING INFORMATION
The Company shall cooperate with Holder in supplying such
information as may be reasonably necessary for Holder to complete and file any
information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as
a condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the
sale of any Warrant or Restricted Common Stock.
11. LOSS OR MUTILATION
Upon receipt by the Company from Holder of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being
understood that the written agreement of the Holder shall be sufficient
indemnity), and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof,
the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor
to Holder; provided, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required
if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for
cancellation.
12. OFFICE OF THE COMPANY
As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company
shall maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices
of the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration
of transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant, such office to
be initially located at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, provided,
however, that the Company shall provide prior written notice to Holder of a
change in address no less than thirty (30) days prior to such change.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by
Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the
rights or privileges of Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of
Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the
Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.
14. MISCELLANEOUS
14.1. Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any
delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall
operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder's rights, powers
or remedies, notwithstanding all rights hereunder terminate on the Expiration
Date. If the Company fails to make, when due, any payments provided for
hereunder, or fails to comply with any other provision of this Warrant, the
Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any
direct and indirect losses, damages, costs and expenses including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate
proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or
in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
14.2. Notice Generally. Except as may be otherwise provided
herein, any notice or other communication or delivery required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or sent by
certified mail, postage prepaid, or by a nationally recognized overnight courier
service, and shall be deemed given when so delivered personally or by overnight

Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or
invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
