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
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.
4
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.
5
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.
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
6
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.
(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,
7
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.
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.
8
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
entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and
character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization,
9
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.
10
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.
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

the provisions of this Section 9.

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

(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
11

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."

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."
12
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.
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.
13
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

14.4. Amendment. This Warrant and all other Warrants may be modified or
amended or the provisions hereof waived only with the prior written consent of
the Company and the Holder.
14.5. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this 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

of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part
of this Warrant.
14.7. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Missouri, without regard to the provisions thereof relating to conflict
of laws. The Company consents to the jurisdiction of the federal courts whose
districts encompass any part of the City of Joplin or the state courts of the
State of Missouri sitting in the City of Joplin in connection with any dispute
arising under this Warrant or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and
hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including
any objections based on forum non conveniens, to the bringing of any such
proceeding in such jurisdictions.
15. REDEMPTION OF WARRANTS
15.1 At any time commencing on the date twelve (12) months following
the issuance of this Warrant, on not less than ten (10) days prior written
