REPRESENTATIVE'S WARRANT AGREEMENT dated as of _______, 1996
between SKYMALL, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and XXXXXXXXXX XXXX

W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue to the Representative
or their designees warrants ("Warrants") to purchase up to an aggregate 200,000
shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock"); and
WHEREAS, the Representative has agreed pursuant to the
underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") dated as of the date
hereof among the Representative, as the Representative of the Several
Underwriters named in Schedule A thereto, and the Company to act as the
Representative in connection with the Company's proposed public offering of up

WHEREAS, the Warrants to be issued pursuant to this Agreement
will be issued on the Closing Date (as such term is defined in the Underwriting
Agreement) by the Company to the Representative in consideration for, and as
part of the Representative's compensation in connection with, the Representative
acting as the Representative pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the payment
by the Representative to the Company of an aggregate two hundred dollars
($200.00), the agreements
3
herein set forth and other good and valuable consideration, hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Grant. The Representative is hereby granted the right to
purchase, at any time from _______, 1997 [one year from the effective date of
the registration statement], until 5:30 P.M., New York time, on ____________,
2001 [five years from the effective date of the registration statement], up to
an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") at an initial
exercise price (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8 hereof) of $____
per share of Common Stock [120% of the initial public offering price per share]
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as set forth
herein, the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are in all respects
identical to the shares of Common Stock being purchased by the Underwriters for
resale to the public pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Underwriting
Agreement.
2. Warrant Certificates. The warrant certificates (the
"Warrant Certificates") delivered and to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement
shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part
hereof, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions, and other
variations as required or permitted by this Agreement.
3. Exercise of Warrant.
Section 3.1 Method of Exercise. The Warrants initially are
exercisable at an aggregate initial exercise price (subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 8 hereof) per share of Common Stock set forth in Section 6
hereof payable by certified or official bank check in New York Clearing House
funds, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8 hereof. Upon surrender of
a Warrant Certificate with the annexed Form of Election to Purchase duly
executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined)
for the shares of Common
2
4
Stock purchased at the Company's principal offices in Phoenix, Arizona
(presently located at 0000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000) the
registered holder of a Warrant Certificate ("Holder" or "Holder") shall be
entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock
so purchased. The purchase rights represented by each Warrant Certificate are
exercisable at the option of the Holder thereof, in whole or in part (but not as
to fractional shares of the Common Stock underlying the Warrants). Warrants may
be exercised to purchase all or part of the shares of Common Stock represented
thereby. In the case of the purchase of less than all the shares of Common Stock
purchasable under any Warrant Certificate, the Company shall cancel said Warrant
Certificate upon the surrender thereof and shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant Certificate of like tenor for the balance of the shares of Common Stock
purchasable thereunder.
Section 3.2 Exercise by Surrender of Warrant. In addition to
the method of payment set forth in Section 3.1 and in lieu of any cash payment
required thereunder, the Holder(s) of the Warrants shall have the right at any
time and from time to time to exercise the Warrants in full or in part by
surrendering the Warrant Certificate in the manner specified in Section 3.1 in
exchange for the number of Shares equal to the product of (x) the number of
Shares as to which the Warrants are being exercised multiplied by (y) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Market Price (as defined in Section 3.3
below) of the Shares less the Exercise Price and the denominator of which is
such Market Price. Solely for the purposes of this paragraph, Market Price shall
be calculated either (i) on the date which the form of election attached hereto
is deemed to have been sent to the Company pursuant to Section 13 hereof
("Notice Date") or (ii) as the average of the Market Prices for each of the five
trading days preceding the Notice Date, whichever of (i) or (ii) is greater.
3
5
Section 3.3 Definition of Market Price. As used herein, the
phrase "Market Price" at any date shall be deemed to be the last reported sale
price, or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of
the last reported sale prices for the last three (3) trading days, in either
case as officially reported by the principal securities exchange on which the
Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or by the Nasdaq National Market
("NNM"), or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any
national securities exchanged or quoted by NNM, the average closing bid price as
furnished by the NASD through NNM or similar organization if NNM is no longer
reporting such information, or if the Common Stock is not quoted on NNM, as
determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company,
based on the best information available to it.
4. Issuance of Certificates. Upon the exercise of the
Warrants, the issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock and/or other
securities, properties or rights underlying such Warrants, shall be made
forthwith (and in any event within five (5) business days thereafter) without
charge to the Holder thereof including, without limitation, any tax which may be
payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such certificates shall (subject
to the provisions of Sections 5 and 7 hereof) be issued in the name of, or in
such names as may be directed by, the Holder thereof; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificates
in a name other than that of the Holder, and the Company shall not be required
to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons
requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of
such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such
tax has been paid.
4
6
The Warrant Certificates and the certificates representing the
Shares underlying the Warrants (and/or other securities, property or rights
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants) shall be executed on behalf of the
Company by the manual or facsimile signature of the then Chairman or Vice
Chairman of the Board of Directors or President or Vice President of the
Company. Warrant Certificates shall be dated the date of execution by the
Company upon initial issuance, division, exchange, substitution or transfer.
5. Restriction On Transfer of Warrants. The Holder of a
Warrant Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, covenants and agrees that the
Warrants are being acquired as an investment and not with a view to the
distribution thereof; that the Warrants may not be sold, transferred, assigned,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, in whole or in part, for a period of one
(1) year from the date hereof, except to officers of the Representative.
6. Exercise Price.
Section 6.1 Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 8 hereof, the initial exercise price of each
Warrant shall be $____ [120% of the initial public offering price] per share of
Common Stock. The adjusted exercise price shall be the price which shall result
from time to time from any and all adjustments of the initial exercise price in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof.
Section 6.2 Exercise Price. The term "Exercise Price" herein
shall mean the initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending
upon the context.
7. Registration Rights.
Section 7.1 Registration Under the Securities Act of 1933. The
Warrants, the Shares, and any of the other securities issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"), pursuant to the Company's Registration
5
7
Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-_____) (the "Registration
Statement"). All of the representations and warranties of the Company contained
in the Underwriting Agreement relating to the Registration Statement, the
Preliminary Prospectus and Prospectus (as such terms are defined in the
Underwriting Agreement) and made as of the dates provided therein, are hereby
incorporated by reference. The Company agrees and covenants promptly to file
post-effective amendments to such Registration Statement as may be necessary in
order to maintain its effectiveness and otherwise to take such action as may be
necessary to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as long as
any Warrants are outstanding. In the event that, for any reason, whatsoever, the
Company shall fail to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
upon exercise, in part or in whole, of the Warrants, certificates representing
the Shares underlying the Warrants, and any of the other securities issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants (collectively, the "Warrant Securities") shall
bear the following legend:
The securities represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
("Act"), and may not be offered or sold except pursuant to (i)
an effective registration statement under the Act, (ii) to the
extent applicable, Rule 144 under the Act (or any similar rule
under such Act relating to the disposition of securities), or
(iii) an opinion of counsel, if such opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the issuer, that an
exemption from registration under such Act is available.
Section 7.2 Piggyback Registration. If, at any time commencing
after the date hereof and expiring seven (7) years from the effective date, the
Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Act (other than in
connection with a merger or pursuant to Form S-8) it will give written notice by
registered mail, at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of each such
registration statement, to the Representative and to all other Holder(s) of the
Warrants and/or the Warrant Securities of its intention to do so. If the
Representative or other Holder(s)
6
8
of the Warrants and/or Warrant Securities notify the Company within twenty (20)
business days after receipt of any such notice of its or their desire to include
any such securities in such proposed registration statement, the Company shall
afford the Representative and such Holder(s) of the Warrants and/or Warrant
Securities the opportunity to have any such Warrant Securities registered under
such registration statement (sometimes referred to herein as the "Piggyback
Registration").
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.2, the
Company shall have the right at any time after it shall have given written
notice pursuant to this Section 7.2 (irrespective of whether a written request
for inclusion of any such securities shall have been made) to elect not to file
any such proposed registration statement, or to withdraw the same after the
filing but prior to the effective date thereof.
Section 7.3 Demand Registration.
(a) At any time commencing after the date hereof and expiring
five (5) years from the effective date, the Holder of the Warrants and/or
Warrant Securities representing a "Majority" (as hereinafter defined) of such
securities (assuming the exercise of all of the Warrants) shall have the right
(which right is in addition to the registration rights under Section 7.2
hereof), exercisable by written notice to the Company, to have the Company
prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"),
on one occasion, a registration statement and such other documents, including a
prospectus, as may be necessary in the opinion of both counsel for the Company
and counsel for the Representative and Holder, in order to comply with the
provisions of the Act, so as to permit a public offering and sale of their
respective Warrant Securities for nine (9) consecutive months by such Holder and
any
7
9
other Holder of the Warrants and/or Warrant Securities who notify the Company
within ten (10) days after receiving notice from the Company of such request.
(b) The Company covenants and agrees to give written notice of
any registration request under this Section 7.3 by any Holder or Holder(s) to
all other registered Holder(s) of the Warrants and the Warrant Securities within
ten (10) days from the date of the receipt of any such registration request.
(c) In addition to the registration rights under Section 7.2
and subsection (a) of this Section 7.3, at any time commencing after the date
hereof and expiring five (5) years from the effective date, any Holder of
Warrants and/or Warrant Securities shall have the right, exercisable by written
request to the Company, to have the Company prepare and file, on one occasion,
with the Commission a registration statement so as to permit a public offering
and sale for nine (9) consecutive months by any such Holder of its Warrant
Securities, provided, however, that the provisions of Section 7.4(b) hereof
shall not apply to any such registration request and registration and all costs
incident thereto shall be at the expense of the Holder or Holders making such
request.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if the Company shall not have filed a registration statement for the Warrant
Securities within the time period specified in Section 7.4(a) hereof pursuant to
the written notice specified in Section 7.3(a) of a Majority of the Holders of
the Warrants and/or Warrant Securities, the Company shall have the option, upon
the written notice of election of a Majority of the Holders of the Warrants
and/or Warrant Securities, to repurchase (i) any and all Warrant Securities at
the higher of the Market Price per share of Common Stock on (x) the date of the
notice sent pursuant to Section 7.3(a) or (y) the expiration of the period
specified in Section 7.4(a) and
8
10
(ii) any and all Warrants at such Market Price less the Exercise Price of such
Warrant. Such repurchase shall be in immediately available funds and shall close
within two (2) days after the later of (i) the expiration of the period
specified in Section 7.4(a) or (ii) the delivery of the written notice of
election specified in this Section 7.3(d).
Section 7.4 Covenants of the Company With Respect to
Registration. In connection with any registration under Section 7.2 or 7.3
hereof, the Company covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Company shall use its best efforts to file a
registration statement within thirty (30) days of receipt of any demand
therefor, shall use its best efforts to have any registration statements
declared effective at the earliest possible time, and shall furnish each Holder
desiring to sell Warrant Securities such number of prospectuses as shall
reasonably be requested.
(b) The Company shall pay all costs (excluding fees and
expenses of Holder(s)' counsel and any underwriting or selling commissions),
fees and expenses in connection with all registration statements filed pursuant
to Sections 7.2 and 7.3(a) hereof including, without limitation, the Company's
legal and accounting fees, printing expenses, blue sky fees and expenses. The
Holder(s) will pay all costs, fees and expenses in connection with any
registration statement filed pursuant to Section 7.3(c). If the Company shall
fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.4(a), the Company shall, in
addition to any other equitable or other relief available to the Holder(s), be
liable for any or all incidental or special damages sustained by the Holder(s)
requesting registration of their Warrant Securities.
(c) The Company will take all necessary action which may be
required in qualifying or registering the Warrant Securities included in a
registration statement for offering
9
11
and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as reasonably are
requested by the Holder(s), provided that the Company shall not be obligated to
execute or file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a
foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any such jurisdiction.
(d) The Company shall indemnify the Holder(s) of the Warrant
Securities to be sold pursuant to any registration statement and each person, if
any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or
Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all
expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against
any claim whatsoever) to which any of them may become subject under the Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration statement but only to
the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions pursuant to which the
Company has agreed to indemnify each of the Underwriters contained in Section 8
of the Underwriting Agreement.
(e) The Holder(s) of the Warrant Securities to be sold
pursuant to a registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall
severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its officers and directors
and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section
15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim,
damage or expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which
they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising
from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holder, or their successors
or assigns, for specific inclusion in such registration statement to the same
extent and with the same effect as the provisions
10
12
contained in Section 8 of the Underwriting Agreement pursuant to which the
Underwriters have agreed to indemnify the Company.
(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as
requiring the Holder(s) to exercise their Warrants prior to the initial filing
of any registration statement or the effectiveness thereof.
(g) The Company shall not permit the inclusion of any
securities other than the Warrant Securities to be included in any registration
statement filed pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof, without the prior written
consent of the Holder(s) of the Warrants and Warrant Securities representing a
Majority of such securities.
(h) The Company shall furnish to each Holder participating in
the offering and to each underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to
such Holder or underwriter, of (i) an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated
the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration
includes an underwritten public offering, an opinion dated the date of the
closing under the underwriting agreement), and (ii) a "cold comfort" letter
dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such
registration includes an underwritten public offering, a letter dated the date
of the closing under the underwriting agreement) signed by the independent
public accountants who have issued a report on the Company's financial
statements included in such registration statement, in each case covering
substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and
the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of such accountants' letter,
with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as
are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants'
letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of
securities.
11
13
(i) The Company shall as soon as practicable after the
effective date of the registration statement, and in any event within 15 months
thereafter, make "generally available to its security holders" (within the
meaning of Rule 158 under the Act) an earnings statement (which need not be
audited) complying with Section 11(a) of the Act and covering a period of at
least 12 consecutive months beginning after the effective date of the
registration statement.
(j) The Company shall deliver promptly to each Holder
participating in the offering requesting the correspondence and memoranda
described below and to the managing underwriters, copies of all correspondence
between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all
memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with respect
to the registration statement and permit each Holder and underwriters to do such
investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information
contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonably
necessary to comply with applicable securities laws or rules of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). Such investigation shall
include access to books, records and properties and opportunities to discuss the
business of the Company with its officers and independent auditors, all to such
reasonable extent and at such reasonable times and as often as any such Holder
or underwriter shall reasonably request.
(k) The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement
with the managing underwriters selected for such underwriting by Holder(s)
holding a Majority of the Warrant Securities requested to be included in such
underwriting, which may be the Representative. Such agreement shall be
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, each Holder and such managing
underwriters, and shall contain such representations, warranties and covenants
by the Company and such other terms as are customarily contained
12
14
in agreements of that type used by the managing underwriter. The Holder(s) shall
be parties to any underwriting agreement relating to an underwritten sale of
their Warrant Securities and may, at their option, require that any or all the
representations, warranties and covenants of the Company to or for the benefit
of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such
Holder(s). Such Holder(s) shall not be required to make any representations or
warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters except as they
may relate to such Holder(s) and their intended methods of distribution.
(l) In addition to the Warrant Securities, upon the written
request therefor by any Holder(s), the Company shall include in the registration
statement any other securities of the Company held by such Holder(s) as of the
date of filing of such registration statement, including without limitation
restricted shares of Common Stock, options, warrants or any other securities
convertible into shares of Common Stock.
(m) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Majority" in
reference to the Holder(s) of Warrants or Warrant Securities, shall mean in
excess of fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding Warrants or Warrant
Securities that (i) are not held by the Company, an affiliate, officer,
creditor, employee or agent thereof or any of their respective affiliates,
members of their family, persons acting as nominees or in conjunction therewith
and (ii) have not been resold to the public pursuant to a registration statement
filed with the Commission under the Act.
8. Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities.
Section 8.1 Subdivision and Combination. In case the Company
shall at any time subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
the Exercise Price shall
13
15
forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased
in the case of combination.
Section 8.2 Stock Dividends and Distributions. In case the
Company shall pay a dividend in, or make a distribution of, shares of Common
Stock or of the Company's capital stock convertible into Common Stock, the
Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased. An adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be made as of the record date for the subject
stock dividend or distribution.
Section 8.3 Adjustment in Number of Securities. Upon each
adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8,
the number of Warrant Securities issuable upon the exercise at the adjusted
exercise price of each Warrant shall be adjusted to the nearest full amount by
multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment by the number of Warrant Securities issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so
obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
Section 8.4 Definition of Common Stock. For the purpose of
this Agreement, the term "Common Stock" shall mean (i) the class of stock
designated as Common Stock in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company as
may be amended as of the date hereof, or (ii) any other class of stock resulting
from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting
solely of changes in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no
par value to par value.
Section 8.5 Merger or Consolidation. In case of any
consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with, or merger of
the Company into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger
which does not result in any reclassification or change
14
16
of the outstanding Common Stock), the corporation formed by such consolidation
or merger shall execute and deliver to the Holder a supplemental warrant
agreement providing that the holder of each Warrant then outstanding or to be
outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of such
Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of such warrant, the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
consolidation or merger, by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of
the Company for which such warrant might have been exercised immediately prior
to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such supplemental warrant
agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the
adjustments provided in Section 8. The above provision of this subsection shall
similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers.
Section 8.6 No Adjustment of Exercise Price in Certain Cases.
No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made:
(a) Upon the issuance or sale of the Warrants or the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
Warrants;
(b) If the amount of said adjustment shall be less
than two cents (2(cent)) per Warrant Security, provided,
however, that in such case any adjustment that would otherwise
be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall
be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent
adjustment which, together with any adjustment so carried
forward, shall amount to at least two cents (2(cent)) per
Warrant Security.
9. Exchange and Replacement of Warrant Certificates. Each
Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender thereof
by the registered Holder at the principal executive office of the Company, for a
new Warrant Certificate of like
15
17
tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same
number of Warrant Securities in such denominations as shall be designated by the
Holder thereof at the time of such surrender.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant
Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all
reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of
the Warrants, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant
Certificate of like tenor, in lieu thereof.
10. Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not
be required to issue certificates representing fractions of shares of Common
Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants, nor shall it be required to issue scrip
or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties
that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to
the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock or other securities,
properties or rights.
11. Reservation and Listing of Securities. The Company shall
at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized shares of Common
Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants,
such number of shares of Common Stock or other securities, properties or rights
as shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company covenants and agrees
that, upon exercise of the Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor,
all shares of Common Stock and other securities issuable upon such exercise
shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and not subject to
the preemptive rights of any stockholder. As long as the Warrants shall be
outstanding, the
16
18
Company shall use its best efforts to cause all shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of the Warrants to be listed (subject to official notice of
issuance) on all securities exchanges on which the Common Stock issued to the
public in connection herewith may then be listed and/or quoted.
12. Notices to Warrant Holder. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or
to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meetings of
stockholders for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any
rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. If, however, at any time
prior to the expiration of the Warrants and their exercise, any of the following
events shall occur:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of
its shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them
to receive a dividend or distribution payable otherwise than
in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise
than out of current or retained earnings, as indicated by the
accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the
books of the Company; or
(b) the Company shall offer to all the holders of its
Common Stock any additional shares of capital stock of the
Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for
shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right
or warrant to subscribe therefor; or
(c) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or
merger) or a sale of all or substantially all of its property,
assets and business as an entirety shall be proposed;
17
19
then, in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice
of such event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date fixed as a record
date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the
stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, convertible or
exchangeable securities or subscription rights, or entitled to vote on such
proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify
such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be.
Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity
of any action taken in connection with the declaration or payment of any such
dividend, or the issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities, or
subscription rights, options or warrants, or any proposed dissolution,
liquidation, winding up or sale.
13. Notices.
All notices, requests, consents and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made and
sent when delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested:
(a) If to a registered Holder of the Warrants, to the
address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company;
or
(b) If to the Company, to the address set forth in
Section 3 hereof or to such other address as the Company may
designate by notice to the Holder.
14. Supplements and Amendments. The Company and the
Representative may from time to time supplement or amend this Agreement without
the approval of any holder of Warrant Certificates (other than the
Representative) in order to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provision contained herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any
provisions herein, or to make any other provisions in regard to matters or
questions
18
20
arising hereunder which the Company and the Representative may deem necessary or
desirable and which the Company and the Representative deem shall not adversely
affect the interests of the Holder(s) of Warrant Certificates.
15. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the
Holder(s) and their respective successors and assigns hereunder.
16. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at the close
of business on _______, 2003. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification
provisions of Section 7 shall survive such termination until the close of
business on _______, 2009.
17. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement
and each Warrant Certificate issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract
made under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of said State without giving effect to the
rules of said State governing the conflicts of laws.
The Company, the Representative and the Holder hereby agree
that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of, or relating in
