a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of New York, with all requisite corporate power and authority
to own its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted. Seller
is qualified to do business and is in good standing (or has active status) in
each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified is reasonably likely

has taken all corporate and stockholder action necessary to authorize the

constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller
in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, the availability of equitable remedies and to
general equity principles. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of
this Agreement and compliance by Seller with the terms hereof will not violate,
conflict with or cause an event of default under Seller's Certificate of
Incorporation, the Certificate of Amendment or Seller's Bylaws, or any
resolutions of Seller's Board of Directors or stockholders or any agreement,
instrument, judgment, order, law, rule or regulation applicable to Seller or by
which Seller is bound or to which any of Seller's properties are subject, except
where such violation, conflict or event of default would not result in a
material adverse effect on Seller's business, financial condition, results of
operations or properties (a "Material Adverse Effect"). The Shares, upon
issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Warrants, upon
issuance in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, are and will
continue upon issuance to be duly authorized and reserved, validly issued,
fully-paid and nonassessable and free of any liens, claims or encumbrances and
rights of first refusal ("Encumbrances") other than the terms and provisions of
the Certificate of Amendment, the Warrant Agreement and restrictions imposed by
applicable federal and state securities laws.

share (the "Class A Preferred Stock"), of which 1,380,000 shares are issued and
outstanding, (b) 10,000,000 shares of Class B preferred stock, no par value, of
which (x) 500,000 shares have been designated Class B Series 1 Preferred Stock,
par value $.001 per share, no shares of which are issued and outstanding, and
(y) 80,000 shares have been designated as Preferred Stock, all of such Preferred
Stock will be outstanding upon the issuance of the Shares to be sold to

15,481,242 shares are issued and outstanding. Except with respect to the
Securities or as set forth on Schedule 3.3 annexed hereto, there are no
outstanding subscriptions, rights, options, warrants, conversion rights,
agreements or other claims for the purchase or acquisition from Seller of any
shares of its capital stock or obligating Seller to issue, repurchase, register

convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitling the
holder to acquire, any shares of capital stock of Seller.

relating to all meetings of its shareholders (whether annual or special) since
January 1, 1998 and (iii) all other reports or registration statements filed by
Seller with the SEC since January 1, 1998 (such reports, registration statements

the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and did not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact

Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and fairly present the financial position of
Seller at the dates thereof and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the periods then ended.
3.5 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as publicly
disclosed prior to the date of this Agreement or as otherwise contemplated by
this Agreement, since December 31, 1998, there has not been any material adverse
change or material adverse development in the financial condition or in the
results of operations or the business, properties, assets or liabilities of
Seller or, in so far as can reasonably be foreseen, prospects of Seller.

information relating to Seller, its officers or directors, supplied by Seller
for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the registration statement to be

any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not

in an
7
amendment, or a supplement to, the Registration Statement, such event shall be
so described and such description in such amendment or supplement of such
information will not contain any statement which, at the time and in light of
circumstances under which it is made, is false or misleading with respect to any
material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements therein or
in the Registration Statement not false or misleading.
3.7 Compliance With Laws. The conduct of the business of
Seller complies in all material respects with all statutes, laws, regulations,
ordinances, rules, judgments, orders or decrees applicable thereto. Seller has

or foreign) which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of this Agreement, the Certificate of Amendment or the
Warrant Agreement and (ii) could reasonably be expected to, individually or in
the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

or regulation of any governmental entity, except where such violations have not
resulted or would not reasonably result, individually or in the aggregate, in a
Material Adverse Effect. Seller is not in breach of
8
any agreement where such breach, individually or in the aggregate, would have a
Material Adverse Effect.

Securities to Purchaser will not be integrated with any other offer, sale and
issuance of Seller's securities (past, current, or future) under the Securities
Act or any regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on which
any of the securities of Seller are listed or designated or for purposes of any
stockholder approval provision applicable to Seller or its securities. Subject

Purchaser contained in Article IV hereof, the offer, sale and issuance by Seller
to Purchaser of the Securities hereunder is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.

the listing or maintenance requirements of such exchange or market.
3.16 Registration Rights; Rights of Participation. Except as
set forth on Schedule 3.16 annexed hereto, Seller has not granted or agreed to
grant to any person any rights (including "piggy-back" registration rights) to

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER
In order to induce Seller to enter into this Agreement and
issue the Securities, Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller as follows:
4.1 Organization, Good Standing and Corporate Power. Purchaser
is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of its organization, with all requisite corporate power and
authority to own its properties, conduct its business, enter into this Agreement
and perform its obligations hereunder.
4.2 Due Authorization; Enforceability; No Conflicts. Purchaser
has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the execution, delivery
and performance by it of this Agreement. Assuming the due execution and delivery
of this Agreement by Seller, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally, the availability of equitable remedies and general equity principles.
The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement and
compliance by Purchaser with the terms hereof will not violate, conflict with or
cause an event of default under Purchaser's Certificate of Incorporation or any
other agreement, instrument, judgment, order, law, rule or regulation by which
Purchaser is bound or to which any properties of Purchaser are subject.
4.3 Accredited Investor. Purchaser represents that it is an
"accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act.
4.4 Suitability as an Investor. Purchaser represents that it
can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Securities of Seller and is
investing in its own name and for its own account.
4.5 Investment. Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for
investment for its own account and not with a present view to, or for resale in
connection with, any distribution thereof. Purchaser understands that the Shares
and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof have not been
registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws by
reason of certain exemptions from the registration provisions thereof that
depend upon, among other things, the truth and accuracy of Purchaser's
representations and warranties herein; provided, however, that
10
by making the representations herein, Purchaser does not agree to hold any of
the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to
dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a
registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.
4.6 Restricted Transferability. Purchaser acknowledges that
the Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof are
being offered and sold hereunder in a private placement that is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and that certificates for such
Shares will bear the legend referred to in Section 6.2 below.
4.7 Risk of Investment. Purchaser recognizes, acknowledges and
warrants that it has such knowledge and experience in business and financial
affairs as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in
the Securities of Seller contemplated hereby and is aware of the speculative
nature of and risks of loss associated with such investment. Purchaser
recognizes, acknowledges and warrants that Seller has made available to it, at a
reasonable time prior to the Initial Closing under this Agreement, the
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and
conditions of the Securities and to obtain any additional information which
Seller possesses which Purchaser judges necessary to evaluate its investment in
the Securities. The financial situation of Purchaser enables it to bear the
risks of this investment in the Securities and, at the present time, Purchaser
is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

INDEMNIFICATION
(a) The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in

and their successors and assigns (in accordance with the provisions of Section
7.5 hereof), each other holder of the Securities and all of their stockholders,
officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the
foregoing person's agents or other representatives (including, without
limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement) (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all
actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, proceedings, costs (as
incurred), penalties, fees (including reasonable legal fees and expenses),
liabilities and damages,
11
and expenses in connection therewith (including costs, fees and expenses
incurred by an Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to
which the Indemnitee is not a named party if such costs, fees or expenses relate
to, or are incurred in connection with, a request made by or on behalf of
Seller), and including interest, penalties and attorneys' fees and disbursements
(the "Indemnified Liabilities"), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or
arising out of, or relating to (a) any material misrepresentation or breach of
any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement, the Certificate
of Amendment or the Warrant Agreement, or any other certificate, instrument or
document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any material breach of any
covenant, agreement or obligation of Seller contained in this Agreement, the
Certificate of Amendment or the Warrant Agreement, or any other certificate,
instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of
action, suit or claim brought or made, other than by Seller, against such
Indemnitee and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery,
performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Certificate of Amendment or
the Warrant Agreement; provided, however, that in the absence of fraud the
aggregate amount of claims for which Seller may be liable under this Section
5(b) shall not exceed the Purchase Price received by the Seller for the
Securities. The indemnification obligations of Seller under this paragraph shall
be in addition to any liability which Seller may otherwise have, shall extend
upon the same terms and conditions to any affiliate of Purchaser and partners,
directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may
be, of Purchaser and any such affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of
Seller, Purchaser and any such affiliate and any such person. Seller also agrees
that neither Purchaser nor any such affiliates, partners, directors, agents,
employees or controlling person shall have any liability to Seller or any person
asserting claims on behalf of or in right of Seller in connection with or as a
result of the consummation of this Agreement, the Certificate of Amendment or
the Warrant Agreement except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses incurred by Seller result from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Purchaser or such entity in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Certificate of Amendment or the
Warrant Agreement. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by Seller may be
unenforceable for any reason, Seller shall make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is
permissible under applicable law.
(c) Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless
from and against all damages, losses or expenses (including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred, suffered or paid, directly or indirectly,
by Seller arising out of the failure of any representation and warranty made by
Purchaser in this Agreement to be true and correct in all material respects as
of the Initial Closing and the Second Closing; provided, however, that the
aggregate amount of claims for which Purchaser
12
may be liable under this Section 5(c) shall not exceed the Purchase Price paid
for the Securities.

be at least equal to 100% of the sum of the number of shares that are then
issuable upon conversion of the Shares and exercise of the Warrants, without
regard to any limitation on Purchaser' ability to convert the Shares or exercise
the Warrants. Notice of effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall be
furnished promptly to Purchaser. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable
best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and
from time to time will amend or supplement such Registration Statement and the
prospectus contained therein as and to the extent necessary to comply with the
Securities Act to permit the sale of the Registrable Securities by Purchaser.
Seller shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable
Securities until all of the Registrable Shares have been sold by Purchaser
pursuant thereto or such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be sold
by Purchaser without registration.
(b) As a condition to the inclusion of the
Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement, Purchaser will furnish to
Seller such information with respect to Purchaser as is required to be disclosed
in the Registration Statement (and the prospectus included therein) by the
applicable rules, regulations and guidelines of the SEC.
(c) In connection with the registration of
Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, Seller shall:
(i) prepare and file with the SEC a
Registration Statement on the appropriate form with respect to such Registrable
Securities and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such
Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after such
filing;
13
(ii) prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments and supplements (including post-effective amendments and supplements)
to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities and the
prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such
Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of the Registrable
Securities registered thereunder have been disposed of in accordance with the
intended method of disposition by Purchaser;
(iii) furnish to Purchaser of such
Registrable Securities registered under the Securities Act such number of copies
of a prospectus and preliminary prospectus in conformity with the requirements
of the Securities Act, and such other documents as Purchaser may reasonably
request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of such
Registrable Securities;
(iv) notify Purchaser of such Registrable
Securities if, at any time when a prospectus relating to such Registrable
Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event shall
have occurred as a result of which the prospectus then in use with respect to
such Registrable Securities would include an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under
which made or for any other reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement
such prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act, and prepare and
furnish to Purchaser a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an
amendment of such prospectus which will correct such statement or omission or
effect such compliance;
(v) use its commercially reasonable best
efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as Purchaser shall reasonably
request, to keep such registrations and qualifications in effect for so long as
the Registration Statement referred to in paragraph 6.1(c)(i) above remains in
effect, and to do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or
desirable to enable Purchaser to consummate the public sale or other disposition
in each such jurisdiction of such Registrable Securities owned by Purchaser;
provided, however, that Seller will not be required to (A) qualify to do
business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify
but for this paragraph 6.1(c)(v) or (B) consent to general service of process in
any such jurisdiction;
(vi) keep the Purchaser informed of Seller's
best estimate of the earliest date on which such Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment or supplement thereto will become effective and
promptly notify Purchaser of the following: (A) when such Registration Statement
or any post-effective
14
amendment or supplement thereto becomes effective or is approved, (B) of the
issuance by any competent authority of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness or qualification of such Registration Statement or the prospectus
then in use or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for that purpose, and
(C) of the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities
included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction;
(vii) cooperate with Purchaser, give
Purchaser and its counsel and accountants, such access to its books and records
and such opportunities to discuss the business of Seller with its officers and
independent public accountants as shall be necessary to enable them to conduct a
reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act; and
(viii) pay all costs and expenses incident
to the performance and compliance by Seller with the provisions of this Section
6.1, including without limitation, (A) all registration and filing fees, (B) all
printing expenses, (C) all fees and disbursements of counsel and independent
public accountants for Seller, including, without limitation, the entire expense
of any special audits required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, (D) all
blue sky fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel in connection
with blue sky surveys) and (E) the cost of distributing prospectuses in
preliminary and final form as well as any supplements thereto; expressly
excluding, however, commissions relating to the Registrable Securities sold and
the fees and expenses of counsel for Purchaser. Seller shall (i) not later that
the third business day following the Initial Closing or the Second Closing, as
the case may be, prepare and file with Nasdaq an additional shares listing
application covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Shares and exercise of the Warrants, (ii) take all steps after the Initial
Closing or the Second Closing, as the case may be, necessary to cause such
Securities to be approved for listing on Nasdaq (as well as on any other
national securities exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed)
as soon as possible thereafter, and (iii) provide to Purchaser evidence of such
listing. Seller shall maintain the listing of its Common Stock on such exchange.
(d) If (i) the Registration Statement is not (A)
filed with the SEC on or before the Filing Date or (B) declared effective by the
SEC on or before the Effectiveness Date (or in the case of delay in the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement caused by "plain english" comments
on the Registration Statement from the staff of the SEC, the thirtieth (30th)
day after the Effectiveness Date), (ii) on any day after the Registration
Statement has been declared effective by the SEC (A) sales of the Registrable
Securities required to be included on the Registration Statement cannot be made
pursuant to the Registration Statement (including, without limitation, because
of a failure to keep the Registration Statement effective, to disclose such
information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to the Registration
Statement, or to register
15
sufficient shares of Common Stock) or (B) the Common Stock is not listed or
included for quotation on the Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq SmallCap or Nasdaq
National Market), after being so listed or included for quotation, due to events
or circumstances within the control of Seller and such condition continues
unremedied for fifteen (15) days or (iii) Seller shall otherwise fail to file
the Registration Statement (each such event specified in (i), (ii) and (iii)
above, an "Event"), then, as partial relief for the damages to Purchaser by
reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Registrable
Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available
at law or in equity): (y) Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount in cash (a
"Registration Delay Payment") equal to two percent (2%) of the product of (I)
the number of Shares held by Purchaser and (II) $100, multiplied by the sum of:
(i) the number of months (prorated for partial months) after the end of the
Effectiveness Date and prior to the date the Registration Statement is declared
effective by the SEC; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from such
period any delays which are solely attributable to changes required by Purchaser
in the Registration Statement with respect to information relating to Purchaser,
(ii) the number of months (prorated for partial months) that sales cannot be
made pursuant to the Registration Statement after the Registration Statement has
been declared effective and (iii) the number of months (prorated for partial
months) that the Common Stock is not listed or included for quotation on the
Nasdaq or that trading thereon is halted after the Registration Statement has
been declared effective; and (z) the Conversion Price (as defined in the
Certificate of Amendment) of the Shares and the Exercise Price (as defined in
the Warrant Agreement) shall be decreased 2% on the date of such Event and shall
be decreased an additional 2% as of each monthly anniversary of the date of such
Event. Seller shall pay any required Registration Delay Payment to Purchaser in
cash on the last business day of each month during which an Event has occurred
and is continuing. In the event Seller fails to make a Registration Delay
Payment in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payment shall bear interest
at the rate of 2.0% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.
(e) (i) Seller will indemnify and hold harmless
Purchaser and each person, if any, who Controls (as defined below) Purchaser
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and legal and
other expenses (including costs of investigation) caused by any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration
Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the
Securities Act, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus contained therein or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which made, except to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses are caused by any such untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission included in reliance upon and
in conformity with information furnished to Seller in writing by such seller
expressly for use therein.
16
As used in this paragraph 6.1(e)(i) and in paragraph 6.1(e)(ii) below, a person
"Controls" another person if such first person possesses, directly or
indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and
policies of such second person, whether through the ownership of voting
securities, by contract, or otherwise.
(ii) It shall be a condition to the
obligation of Seller to effect a registration of Registrable Securities under
the Securities Act pursuant hereto that Purchaser indemnify and hold harmless
Seller and each person, if any, who Controls Seller to the same extent as the
indemnity from Seller in the foregoing paragraph, but only with reference to
information included in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished to Seller in writing by Purchaser expressly for use in the
Registration Statement, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus contained
therein or any amendment or supplement thereto; provided, however, that in the
absence of fraud the aggregate amount of claims for which Purchaser may be
liable under this paragraph 6.1(e)(ii) shall not exceed the Purchase Price paid
by Purchaser for the Securities.
(iii) In case any claim shall be made or any
proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted
involving any indemnified party in respect of which indemnity may be sought
pursuant to this paragraph (e), such indemnified party shall promptly notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the same; provided that failure to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability it may have to an
indemnified party otherwise than under this paragraph (e). The indemnifying
party, upon request of the indemnified party or parties, shall retain one
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or parties to represent
the indemnified party or parties in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable
fees and disbursements of such counsel. In any such claim or proceeding, any
indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees
and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified
party unless (A) the indemnifying party shall have failed to retain counsel for
the indemnified party as aforesaid, (B) the indemnifying party and such
indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or
(C) representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate in the opinion of counsel to such
indemnified party due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between such
indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding; provided that Seller shall not be liable for the fees and
disbursements of more than one counsel for all indemnified parties. The
indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to
indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason
of such settlement or judgment.
17
6.2 Restrictive Legend. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that
each certificate representing the Shares and any shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion thereof will (unless the securities evidenced by such
certificate shall have been registered under the Securities Act) be stamped or
otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form (in
addition to any additional legend required under applicable state securities
laws):
"THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
(COLLECTIVELY, THE "SECURITIES LAWS") AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED
OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH
SECURITIES LAWS COVERING SUCH SECURITIES OR THE ISSUER RECEIVES AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
ISSUER, TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS
EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH SECURITIES LAWS."
Neither the Securities nor any shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion or exercise thereof shall contain the legend set forth above (or
any other legend) (i) at any time while a registration statement is effective
under the Securities Act covering such security, (ii) if in the written opinion
of counsel to Seller experienced in the area of United States securities laws
(the form and substance of which opinion shall be customary for opinions of
counsel in comparable transactions), such legend is not required under
applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) or (iii) if
such Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k). Seller agrees that it will
provide Purchaser, upon request, with a certificate or certificates representing
such Securities, free from such legend at such time as such legend is no longer
required hereunder. If such certificate or certificates had previously been
issued with such a legend or any other legend, Seller shall, upon request,
receive such certificate or certificates free of any legend. Seller may not make
any notation on its records or give instruction to any transfer agent of Seller
which enlarge the restrictions set forth above.
6.3 Restriction on Conversion by Purchaser. Notwithstanding
anything herein, or in the Certificate of Amendment or the Warrant Agreement to
the contrary, in no event shall Purchaser have the right to (i) convert the
Shares or (ii) exercise the Warrants if, as a result of such conversion or
exercise, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
such Purchaser and its affiliates would exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares
of the Common Stock following such exercise. For purposes of this Section 6.3,
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act. The provisions of this Section 6.3 may be waived by Purchaser as
to itself (and solely as to itself) upon not less than 65 days
18
prior written notice to Seller, and the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall
continue to apply until such 65th day (or later, if stated in the notice of
waiver). Nothing in this Section 6.3 shall be deemed to limit or otherwise
affect Seller's right to compel the involuntary conversion of the Shares or the
involuntary exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the
Certificate of Amendment and the Warrant Agreement.
7. MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set
forth herein, each party will pay all of its own expenses in connection with the

7.3 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be
amended only in a writing signed by all parties hereto. Any provision of this
Agreement may be waived by the party entitled to the benefit thereof only in a
writing executed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced;
provided, however, that, with the exception of any waiver that would have an
adverse affect on the economic terms of the Securities, the holders of a
majority of the Shares may waive any provision for the benefit of holders of
such Shares, which waiver shall be binding on all holders of Shares. No waiver
shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, and no waiver
of a breach hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent breach
of this Agreement.
7.4 Notice. All notices, demands and other
communications to be given or delivered hereunder shall be in writing and will
be deemed to have been given if personally delivered, sent by overnight courier

7.10 Seniority; Exclusivity. Except for the shares of Class A
Preferred Stock, no class of equity securities of Seller will be senior to the

liquidation, dissolution or otherwise. Seller shall not issue and sell any
Preferred Stock, other than to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, without the
prior written consent of Purchaser.
7.11 Broker Fees. Except for the fees payable by Seller to
Xxxxxx Brothers International, no fees or commissions or similar payments with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Warrant
Agreement or the Certificate of Amendment have been paid or will be payable by

Purchaser shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to
any claims made by or on behalf of other persons for fees of a type contemplated
in this Section 7.11 that may be due in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the Warrant Agreement or the Certificate of
Amendment. As compensation for Purchaser's services in connection with the
financing contemplated herein, Seller will pay to Purchaser, at each of the

Purchase Price of the Shares sold, which fee shall be payable in cash or, at
Seller's option, (ii) a fee equal to 5% of the Purchase Price of the Shares sold
plus 50,000 warrants, such warrants having the same terms and conditions as the
Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement. In addition, Seller
will reimburse upon demand for Purchaser's reasonable expenses (including

each of the Initial Closing and the Second Closing, if any, respectively.
7.12 Press Releases. From and after the date of the Initial
Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any press
releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to the transactions

otherwise make any such public statement without the prior written consent of
the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except
that no prior consent shall be required
21
if such disclosure is required by law (or recommended by corporate counsel to
fulfill the disclosure obligations of the disclosing party), in which such case
the disclosing party shall provide the other party with prior notice of such
public statement.
7.13 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended

Schedule 3.3 Capital Stock
Seller maintains a stock option plan entitled "1992 Stock Option Plan".
Seller may grant up to 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the 1992
Stock Option Plan, as amended. The 1992 Stock Option Plan permits grants to
employees, consultants and certain other professionals who provide services to
Seller. As of June 14, 1998, options for 3,223,999 shares of Common Stock were
issued and outstanding.
At June 14, 1998, warrants to purchase 478,273 shares of Common Stock
at $1.67 per share were outstanding. These warrants, issued to a placement agent
in previous years in connection with equity financings, expire as follows: (i)
124,299 warrants issued on January 6, 1995 expire January 6, 2002; 408 warrants
issued on March 13, 19995 expire March 13, 2002; (iii) 93,628 warrants issued on
May 4, 1995 expire on May 4, 2002; and (iv) 259,938 warrants issued on June 8,
1995 expire on June 8, 2002.
On December 31, 1998, Seller's Board of Directors adopted a
Shareholders' Rights Plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, each shareholder will
receive a dividend of one right for each share of Seller's outstanding Common
Stock (a "Right") subject to the terms of the rights agreement between Seller
and its transfer agent. Each Right will entitle the holder to purchase one
one-hundredth of a share of Seller's Class B Series 1 Preferred Stock at an
initial exercise price of $28.00 per share. If a person (other than an existing
shareholder or pursuant to any pre-approved acquisition) becomes a 20% owner in
Seller, all Rights holders, other than such person, will be entitled to purchase
shares of Seller's stock at a discount price. If Seller is acquired in a merger
after such an acquisition, all Rights holders except the buyer will be entitled
to purchase stock in the buyer at the discount. The distribution of Rights was
made on January 11, 1999 to shareholders of record of Common Stock on that date
and shares of Common Stock that are newly issued after that date will also carry
Rights until the Rights become detached from the common stock. The Rights will
expire on January 11, 2009.
The Class A Preferred Stock has voting rights equivalent to each share
of Common Stock and is convertible into 0.979 shares of Common Stock if (i)
Seller's earnings (pre-tax income before interest expense) for any two
consecutive calender years ending on December 31, 200 exceed $20,000,000 or (ii)
the closing bid price of the Common Stock has been at least $31.11 on 30
consecutive trading days at any time ending on December 31, 2000. Such shares of
Class A Preferred Stock shall otherwise be called for redemption during 120 days
following December 31, 2000 at $.01 per share plus any declared but unpaid
dividends.
On April 15, 1999, Seller issued an aggregate of $5,000,000 14% senior
convertible debentures due April 15, 2002 in a private placement. The
outstanding principal amount of the debentures, together with accrued interest
thereon, is
26
convertible into shares of Common Stock of Seller, at a conversion price of
$5.00, subject to the anti-dilution provisions stated therein. Pursuant to the
terms of the private placement, Seller is required to file a registration
statement for all shares of Common Stock of Seller issuable upon conversion of
the outstanding principal amount of and accrued interest on the debentures and
to use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be effective.
27
Schedule 3.9 Litigation
Three putative class actions were commenced against Seller and certain
of its officers and directors in the Southern District of New York. The first
two commenced in June 1998 and are captioned X.X. Xxxx v. Chromatics Color
Sciences International, Inc., et. al, C.A. No. 98 CV 4111 and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx
v. Chromatics Color Sciences International, Inc., et. al., C.A. No. 98 CV 4335.
The third action was commenced in August 1998 and is captioned Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
v. Chromatics Color Sciences International, Inc., et. al., C.A. No. 98 CV 5646.
The three actions were consolidated by the court and the consolidated complaint
is now captioned In re Chromatics Color Sciences International, Inc.,
Consolidated Matter File No. 98 Civ. 411 (SHS).
Plaintiffs purport to bring the consolidated action on behalf of all
purchasers of the Common Stock of Seller, between July 30, 1997 and June 9,
1998, seeking damages for the alleged violation by defendants of Section 10(b)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. Section 78j(b), and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder, 17 C.F.R. Section 240 10b-5, and pursuant to Section
20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. Section 78t(a), with
respect to the individual named defendants as "controlling persons." The
consolidated complaint alleges that Seller "embarked upon a scheme" to inflate
the price of Seller's Common Stock by making false and misleading statements
concerning: (i) the new and innovative nature of Seller's ColorMate(Registered)
TLc-BiliTest(Trademark) System; (ii) the market size and revenue potential of
the ColorMate(Registered) TLc-BiliTest(Trademark) System; and (iii) the
existence and status of negotiations with potential distributors of the
ColorMate(Registered) TLc-BiliTest(Trademark) System.
28
Schedule 3.16 Registration Rights
On April 15, 1999, Seller issued an aggregate of $5,000,000 14% senior
convertible debentures due April 15, 2002 in a private placement. The
outstanding principal amount of the debentures, together with accrued interest
thereon, is convertible into shares of Common Stock of Seller. Pursuant to the
terms of the private placement, Seller is required to file a registration
statement for all shares of Common Stock of Seller issuable upon conversion of
the outstanding principal amount of and accrued interest on the debentures and
to use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be effective.

(3) The shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock shall, with
respect to the distribution of assets on liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation, rank (i) senior and prior to the common stock, $.001 par
value (the "Common Stock"), of the Corporation and any other class or series of
capital stock of the Corporation hereafter issued, the terms of which
specifically provide that shares of such class or
series shall rank junior to shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock
(collectively, the "Junior Securities"), (ii) on a parity with any other class
or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter issued, the terms of
which specifically provide that shares of such class or series shall rank on a
parity with the shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the
"Parity Securities") and (iii) junior to the Class A Convertible Preferred Stock
and any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter
issued, the terms of which specifically provide that shares of such class or
series shall rank senior to shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock
(collectively, the "Senior Securities").
(4) The holders of shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock shall
not be entitled to any voting rights other than those provided by law. However,
so long as any shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding,
the Corporation shall not and shall cause its subsidiaries not to, without the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Class B
Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding, (a) alter or change adversely the
absolute or relative powers, preferences or rights given to the Class B
Convertible Preferred Stock, (b) alter or amend this Certificate of Amendment,
(c) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or
distribution of assets upon a liquidation or otherwise senior to the Class B
Convertible Preferred Stock, (d) amend its Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws
or other charter documents so as to affect adversely any rights of any holders
of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock, (e) increase the authorized number of
shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock or (f) enter into any agreement
with respect to the foregoing.
(5) Except as set forth in Section 7 hereof, the holders of shares of
Class B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive dividends
with respect thereto.
(6) (a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, before any
distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of outstanding Junior
Securities, including, but not limited to, the Common Stock, the holders of
outstanding shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive, out of the assets of the Corporation at the time legally available
therefor, in exchange for their shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock an
amount in cash equal to $100.00 per share of Class B Convertible Preferred
Stock, together with all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, on a pari passu
basis with the rights of the holders of any Parity Securities; provided,
however, that the holders of the Class B Convertible Preferred Stock and any
outstanding Parity Securities shall not be entitled to receive such preferential
liquidation payments until the preferential liquidation payments on all
outstanding Senior Securities have been paid in full. If, upon any such
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs
of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation available therefor shall be
insufficient to permit the payment in full to the holders of outstanding shares
of Class B
2
Convertible Preferred Stock of the preferential liquidation amounts to which
they are then entitled pursuant to the provisions of this clause (a), the entire
assets of the Corporation thus distributable shall be distributed among the
holders of outstanding shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock and any
Parity Securities ratably, in proportion to the full amounts to which such
holders would otherwise be entitled if such assets were sufficient to permit
payment in full.
(b) Upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, after the payment in full to the
holders of outstanding shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock and any
Parity Securities of the preferential liquidation amounts to which they are then
entitled pursuant to the provisions of clause (a) above, the holders of
outstanding shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be entitled
to participate in any further distributions made to the holders of the Common
Stock or any other class of Senior Securities or Junior Securities.
(c) At the option of the holders of a majority of the issued and
outstanding Class B Convertible Preferred Stock, the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the merger of the
Corporation with or into another corporation shall be deemed to be a
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation.
(7) (a) On the third anniversary of the date of initial issuance of the
shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Redemption Date"), and
provided the Corporation has not delivered a timely Extension Notice (as
hereinafter defined), all of the outstanding shares of Class B Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be subject to mandatory redemption by the Corporation for
a purchase price payable in cash equal to $115.00 per share (such amount is
hereinafter referred to the "Redemption Amount").
(b) From and after the Redemption Date, unless (i) default shall be
made by the Corporation on the Redemption Date in providing funds for the
payment of the Redemption Amount payable, or (ii) the Corporation, in its sole
discretion, has notified the holders of the shares of Class B Convertible
Preferred Stock by written notice delivered at least thirty (30) days prior to
the Redemption Date (the "Extension Notice") of its election to extend the
Redemption Date to the fifth anniversary of the date of initial issuance of the
shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Extended Redemption Date"),
all rights of the holders of the shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock
surrendered for redemption, except the right to receive the Redemption Amount in
respect of such shares, shall cease and terminate. The redemption of the shares
of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock upon the Redemption Date shall take place
at the principal place of business of the Corporation. On the Redemption Date,
the Corporation shall tender the Redemption Amount by check, subject to
collection, against receipt of the certificate or certificates representing the
shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemed.
3
(c) If the Redemption Date has been extended to the Extended Redemption
Date by timely delivery by the Corporation of the Extension Notice to each of
the holders of the shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock then
outstanding, on the Extended Redemption Date all of the outstanding shares of
Class B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subject to mandatory redemption by
the Corporation for a purchase price payable in cash equal to $115.00 per share,
together with all accrued but unpaid Extension Dividends (as hereinafter
defined) (such amount is hereinafter referred to the "Extended Redemption
Amount"). The "Extension Dividends" shall be the aggregate amount of dividends
accrued and owing on the Class B Convertible Preferred Stock, which shall be
paid at the rate of $8.00 per share per annum (computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days), shall accrue beginning
on the day after the Redemption Date and shall be cumulative whether or not
declared. From and after the Extended Redemption Date, unless default shall be
made by the Corporation on the Extended Redemption Date in providing funds for
the payment of the Extended Redemption Amount payable, all rights of the holders
of the shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock surrendered for redemption,
except the right to receive the Extended Redemption Amount in respect of such
shares, shall cease and terminate. The redemption of the shares of Class B
Convertible Preferred Stock upon the Extended Redemption Date shall take place
at the principal place of business of the Corporation. On the Extended
Redemption Date, the Corporation shall tender the Extended Redemption Amount by
check, subject to collection, against receipt of the certificate or certificates
representing the shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemed.
(8) (a) Subject to the provision for adjustment set forth below, each
share of the Class B Convertible Preferred Stock, plus the aggregate amount of
all accrued but unpaid Extension Dividends, shall be convertible at the option
of the holder thereof at any time after the date hereof, into a number of shares
of Common Stock equal to the then effective Conversion Ratio (as hereinafter
defined). As used herein, "Conversion Ratio," determined as of any date, shall
equal the number of shares of Common Stock into which one share of Class B
Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible pursuant to this Section 8, which
shall be determined by dividing $100.00, plus the amount of all accrued but
unpaid Extension Dividends per share, by the then effective Conversion Price (as
defined below). The "Conversion Price" shall be $7.25 for the shares of Class B
Convertible Preferred Stock issued on the date of initial issuance of shares of
Class B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Issue Date") and shall be subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 8(d). For all shares of Class B Convertible
Preferred Stock issued subsequent to the Issue Date the "Conversion Price" shall
be the lower of (i) $7.25 and (ii) the average of the closing bid prices of the
Common Stock over the five consecutive trading days ending on the date
immediately prior to the date of the issuance of such shares, in either case
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8(d). The Conversion Ratio shall be
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8(d).
4
(b) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available for
issuance upon the conversion of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock, free from
any preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons
other than the holders of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of
shares of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will from time
to time be necessary to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class
B Convertible Preferred Stock, together with all accrued but unpaid dividends
thereon, into shares of Common Stock, and shall take all action required to
increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if necessary to permit
the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so
issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, fully paid,
nonassessable and freely tradeable.
(c) (i) Conversion of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock may be
effected by any holder thereof upon the surrender to the Corporation at the
offices of the Corporation of certificates representing Class B Convertible
Preferred Stock to be converted, accompanied by a written notice stating that
such holder elects to convert all or a specified portion of such Class B
Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8
and specifying the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The Corporation shall pay
the issue and transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or
delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Class B Convertible
Preferred Stock pursuant hereto. As promptly as practicable, and in any event
within two business days after the surrender of such certificates representing
Class B Convertible Preferred Stock and the receipt of such notice relating
thereto, the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered (i) certificates
representing the number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares
of Common Stock to which the holder of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock being
converted shall be entitled and (ii) if less than all of the shares represented
by the surrendered certificates are being converted, a new certificate
representing the number of shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock which
remains outstanding upon such partial conversion. Such conversion shall be
deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of giving such
notice so that the rights of the holder thereof as to Class B Convertible
Preferred Stock being converted shall cease except for the right to receive
shares of Common Stock in accordance herewith, and the persons entitled to
receive shares of Common Stock shall be treated for all purposes as having
become the record holder of such shares of Common Stock at such time.
(ii) If the Corporation fails to deliver to the holder such certificate
or certificates pursuant to this Section 8, including for purposes hereof, any
shares of Common Stock to be issued on account of accrued but unpaid dividends
hereunder, on or prior to the third trading day after the date the holder
surrenders to the Corporation the certificates to be converted (the "Delivery
Date"), in addition to all other remedies
5
that such holder may pursue hereunder or otherwise, the Corporation shall pay to
such holder in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $1,000 per day
(increasing to $5,000 per day after the fifth trading day after the Delivery
Date) until such certificates are delivered. If the Corporation fails to deliver
to the holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section 8 prior
to the 15th day after the Delivery Date the Corporation shall, at the holder's
option, (i) redeem from funds legally available therefor at the time of such
redemption, such number of shares of Preferred Stock then held by such holder,
as requested by such holder and (ii) pay all accrued but unpaid dividends on
account of the Class B Convertible Preferred Stock for which the Corporation
shall have failed to issue Common Stock certificates hereunder, in cash. If such
holder opts to redeem any number of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this
Section 8(c)(ii), then the Corporation shall immediately redeem, from funds
legally available therefor at the time of such redemption, such number of shares
of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock then held by such holder, as requested by
such holder. The redemption price shall be equal to the sum of (A) the aggregate
of all accrued but unpaid dividends, plus (B) the number of shares of Class B
Convertible Preferred Stock then held by such holder multiplied by (1) the
average closing price of the Corporation's Common Stock for the five trading
days immediately preceding the Delivery Date multiplied by (2) the Conversion
Ratio calculated on the Delivery Date. If the holder has requested that the
Corporation redeem shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to
this Section 8(c)(ii) and the Corporation fails for any reason to pay the
redemption price referenced above within seven days after such notice is deemed
delivered pursuant to Section 8(c)(ii), the Corporation will pay interest on the
redemption price at a rate of 15% per annum in cash to such holder, accruing
from such seventh day until the redemption price and any accrued interest
thereon is paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit a holder's right to pursue
actual damages for the Corporation's failure to deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified
herein (including, without limitation, damages relating to any purchase of
shares of Common Stock by such holder to make delivery on a sale effected in
anticipation of receiving certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon
conversion, such damages to be in an amount equal to (A) the aggregate amount
paid by such holder for the shares of Common Stock so purchased minus (B) the
aggregate amount of net proceeds, if any, received by such holder from the sale
of the shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation pursuant to such
conversion), and such holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies
available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief).
(iii) In addition to any other rights available to the holder, if the
Corporation fails to deliver to the holder such certificate or certificates
pursuant to Section 8(c)(ii) by the Delivery Date and after the Delivery Date
the holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of
Common Stock to deliver to the satisfaction of a sale by such holder of the
shares underlying the Class B Convertible Preferred Stock
6
which the holder anticipated receiving on the Delivery Date upon such conversion
(a "Buy-In"), then the Corporation shall pay in cash to the holder (in addition
to any remedies available to or elected by the holder) the amount by which (A)
the holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock purchased for a Buy-In exceeds (B) the aggregate
Conversion Price for the number of shares of Common Stock in the Buy-In for
which such conversion was not timely honored. For example, if the holder
purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to
cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of $10,000 aggregate
Conversion Price for the number of shares of Common Stock in the Buy-In, the
Corporation shall be required to pay the holder $1,000. The holder shall provide
the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to the holder in
respect of the Buy-In.
(d) (i) In the event of any change in the number of issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation by reason of any stock
split, stock dividend, subdivision, merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
combination, conversion or exchange of shares, or any other change in the
corporate or capital structure of the Corporation which would have the effect of
diluting or otherwise adversely affecting the rights and privileges of the
holders of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock under this Section 8, the
Conversion Ratio and Conversion Price in effect on the effective date thereof
shall be adjusted so that the holder of any shares of Class B Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the number and type of shares of
Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation which such holder would have
owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events
described above had such shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock been
converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the happening of such event or
the record date therefor. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8(d) shall
become effective (x) in the case of any such dividend or distribution to holders
of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, or
(y) in the case of such subdivision, merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
combination, conversion or exchange, at the close of business on the day upon
which such corporate action becomes effective.
(ii) Except with respect to Excluded Securities (as defined below), in
case the Corporation shall issue any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents (as defined below) after the Issue Date at a price per share (or
having a conversion or exercise price per share) of less than the Conversion
Price per share (the "Adjusted Conversion Price"), in each such case the
Conversion Price as in effect immediately prior thereto shall be reduced (but
not increased) to the Adjusted Conversion Price and the Conversion Ratio shall
be recalculated and increased (but not decreased) by dividing $100.00 by the
Adjusted Conversion Price. Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (ii)
shall be made on the next business day following the date on which any such
issuance is made and shall be effective retroactively to the close of business
on the date of such issuance. For purposes of this clause (ii), the
consideration receivable
7
by the Corporation in connection with the issuance of additional shares of
Common Stock or of Common Stock Equivalents since the Issue Date shall be deemed
to be equal to (X) in the case the consideration received by the Corporation is
cash, the sum of the aggregate offering price (before deduction of underwriting
discounts or commissions and expenses payable to third parties, if any) of all
such Common Stock and/or Common Stock Equivalents plus the minimum aggregate
amount, if any, payable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any such Common
Stock Equivalents, and (Y) in the case the consideration received by the
Corporation is other than cash, the fair market value of the consideration
received by the Corporation as determined by the good faith judgment of the
Board of Directors of the Corporation provided, however, that in the event the
holder disagrees in good faith with the determination of the Board of Directors
of the Corporation, such fair market value shall be determined by a nationally
recognized or major regional investment banking firm or firm of independent
certified public accountants of recognized standing (an "Appraiser") selected in
good faith by the holders of the Class B Convertible Preferred Stock; and
provided, further, that the Corporation, after receipt of the determination by
such Appraiser shall have the right to select in good faith an additional
Appraiser meeting the same qualifications, in which case the fair market value
shall be equal to the average of the determinations by each such Appraiser. Such
adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become
effective immediately after the record date mentioned above. The issuance or
reissuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (whether
treasury shares or newly issued shares) pursuant to a dividend or distribution
on, or subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the outstanding shares
of Common Stock requiring an adjustment in the Conversion Price and Conversion
Ratio pursuant to this clause (ii) shall not be deemed to constitute an issuance
of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents by the Corporation to which clause
(i) of this Section 8(d) applies. Upon the expiration or termination of any
unconverted, unexchanged or unexercised Common Stock Equivalents for which an
adjustment has been made pursuant to this clause (ii), the adjustments shall
forthwith be reversed to effect such Conversion Ratio as would have been in
effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Common Stock
Equivalents, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or
termination, had never been issued. As used herein, "Excluded Securities" shall
mean: (i) shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B
Convertible Preferred Stock; (ii) shares of Common Stock issuable or issued to
employees of or consultants to the Corporation pursuant to the Management Option
Plan (as hereinafter defined); (iii) any capital stock issued as a stock
dividend or upon any stock split or other subdivision or combination of shares
of the Corporation's capital stock; (iv) shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of any Common Stock Equivalents outstanding on the Issue Date, (v)
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Corporation's Class A
Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding on the Issue Date or (vi) Common Stock
issued upon the conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents issued after
the Issue Date as to which an adjustment to the Conversion
8
Ratio has been made pursuant to this clause (d) upon the issuance of such Common
Stock Equivalents. As used herein, "Common Stock Equivalents" shall mean
securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation. As used herein, the "Management Option Plan"
shall mean the Corporation's 1992 Stock Option Plan, as amended.
(iii) If the Corporation shall set a record date for the holders of its
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other
distribution and shall thereafter, and before such dividend or distribution is
paid or delivered to stockholders entitled thereto, legally abandon its plan to
pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then no adjustment in the
Conversion Ratio or the Conversion Price then in effect shall be made by reason
of the taking of such record, and any such adjustment previously made as a
result of the taking of such record shall be reversed.
(e) (i) Unless sooner redeemed or converted in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7 hereof or this Section 8 the outstanding shares of Class
B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subject to involuntary conversion at the
option of the Corporation, at its sole discretion, in whole but not in part, at
any time after six months after the Issue Date, for shares of the Corporation's
Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio. The Corporation may effectuate such
involuntary conversion on such date (the "Involuntary Conversion Date") provided
that the following conditions have been met:
(A) the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) of the
Common Stock is equal to or in excess of one hundred and fifty
percent (150%) of the Conversion Price for a period of at
least ten (10) consecutive trading days; and
(B) all of the shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred
Stock is being converted have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and such registration has
been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and is effective on such date; and
(C) the Corporation has a sufficient number of authorized shares
of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon full conversion of
the Class B Convertible Preferred Stock.
As used herein, "Current Market Price" shall mean for any day, the last sale
price for the Common Stock on the principal securities exchange on which the
Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or, if not so listed or admitted
to trading on any securities exchange, the last sale price for the Common Stock
on the National Association of Securities Dealers National Market System, or, if
the Common Stock shall not be listed on such system, the closing bid price in
the over-the-counter market.
9
(ii) Notice of involuntary conversion of outstanding shares of Class B
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be sent by or on behalf of the Corporation,
postage prepaid, to the holders of record of outstanding shares of Class B
Convertible Preferred Stock not less than ten (10) and not more than twenty (20)
days prior to the Involuntary Conversion Date.
(iii) Notice having been so given as provided in clause (ii) above,
from and after the Involuntary Conversion Date, unless default shall be made by
the Corporation on the Involuntary Conversion Date in issuing the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Class B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to
the Conversion Ratio, all rights of the holders of the shares of Class B
Convertible Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion, except the right to
receive the Common Stock in respect of such shares, shall cease and terminate.
The involuntary conversion of the shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock
for the Common Stock upon the Involuntary Conversion Date shall take place at
the principal place of business of the Corporation. On the Involuntary
Conversion Date, the Corporation shall tender such Common Stock against receipt
of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Class B
Convertible Preferred Stock being converted.
(iv) If any portion of the applicable redemption price under Sections 7
or 8 shall not be paid by the Corporation within seven (7) calendar days after
the date due, interest shall accrue thereon at the rate of 15% per annum until
the redemption price plus all such interest is paid in full (which amount shall
be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). In addition, if any portion
of such redemption price remains unpaid for more than seven (7) calendar days
after the date due, the holder of the Class B Convertible Preferred Stock
subject to such redemption may elect, by written notice to the Corporation given
within 30 days after the date due, to either (i) demand conversion in accordance
with the formula and the time frame therefor set forth in Section 8 of all of
the shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock for which such redemption
price, plus accrued liquidated damages thereof, has not been paid in full (the
"Unpaid Redemption Shares"), in which event the Conversion Price for such shares
shall be the lower of the Current Market Price of the Corporation's Common Stock
on the date such redemption price was originally due and the Current Market
Price of the Corporation's Common Stock as of the holder's written demand for
conversion, or (ii) invalidate ab initio such redemption, notwithstanding
anything herein contained to the contrary. If the holder elects option (i)
above, the Corporation shall within five (5) trading days of its receipt of such
election deliver to the holder the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Unpaid Redemption Shares subject to such holder conversion
demand and otherwise perform its obligations hereunder with respect thereto; or,
if the holder elects option (ii) above, the Corporation shall promptly, and in
any event not later than five (5) trading days from receipt of holder's notice
of such election, return to the holder all of the Unpaid Redemption Shares.
10
(9) Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price and the Conversion
Ratio then in effect pursuant to the provisions of Section 8, then, and in each
such case, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each of the holders of
Class B Convertible Preferred Stock a certificate signed by the President or a
Vice President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary
or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation setting forth in reasonable detail
the event requiring the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was
calculated and the Conversion Price and Conversion Ratio then in effect
following such adjustment. Where appropriate, such notice to the holders of
Class B Convertible Preferred Stock may be given in advance. "
FIFTH: The foregoing Amendment of the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation was authorized by unanimous consent of the
Board of Directors of the Corporation.

and warrants to the Warrant Holder as follows:
(a) The Issuer is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York
has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this
Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Certificate, to issue the Warrants
and to perform its obligations under this Warrant Agreement and the
Warrant Certificate.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of
this Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Certificate, the issuance of the
Warrants and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the
Warrants have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on
the part of the Issuer and do not and will not violate, or result in a
breach of, or constitute a default under, or require any consent under,
or result in the creation of a lien upon the assets of the Issuer
pursuant to, any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation
binding upon the Issuer.
(c) This Warrant Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Issuer and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and
enforceable obligation of the Issuer, except as such enforcement may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally
and except as equitable remedies may be limited by general principles
of equity. When the Warrants and Warrant Certificates have been issued
as contemplated hereby, (i) the Warrants and the Warrant Certificates
will constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of
the Issuer, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally and except as equitable remedies may be
limited by general principles of equity (whether such remedies are
sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and (ii) the Warrant
Shares, when issued upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with
the terms hereof, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock.
4
(d) As of the date of the Initial Closing immediately after
giving effect to the purchase and sale of the Preferred Stock and
Warrants on that date (i) the Issuer's capital stock (the "Capital
Stock") consists of (a) 1,400,000 shares of Class A preferred stock,
par value $.01 per share, of which 1,380,000 shares are issued and
outstanding, (b) 10,000,000 shares of Class B preferred stock, no par
value, of which (x) 500,000 shares have been designated Class B Series
1 Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of which no shares are
issued and outstanding, and (y) 80,000 shares have been designated as
Preferred Stock, all of such Preferred Stock will be issued and
outstanding upon the consummation of the Second Closing and (c)
50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 15,481,242 shares are
issued and outstanding. All issued and outstanding shares of Capital
Stock are validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and were issued in accordance with the registration or qualification
provisions of the Securities Act or pursuant to valid exemptions
therefrom.
SECTION 3. Issuance of Warrants. The Issuer hereby agrees to issue and
deliver to the Warrant Holder on the date of the Initial Closing Warrants
evidencing rights to purchase 5.51725 shares of Common Stock, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 11 hereof, for each share of Preferred Stock
purchased by the Warrant Holder pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement on the
date of the Initial Closing and at any time on or before 5:00 P.M., New York
City time, on the Expiration Date at a price per share equal to the Exercise
Price. On the date of the Second Closing, if any (which shall be at the option
of the Issuer in the circumstances described in Section 2.1(b)(iv) of the Stock
Purchase Agreement), the Issuer hereby agrees to issue to the Warrant Holder on
the date of the Second Closing Warrants evidencing rights to purchase 5.51725
shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 hereof,
for each share of Preferred Stock purchased by the Warrant Holder pursuant to
the Warrant Agreement on the date of the Second Closing; provided, however, that
if the Conversion Price of the Shares issued at the Second Closing is less than
$7.25 the number of Warrants issued for each Share sold at the Second Closing
shall be adjusted by the number obtained by (i) dividing $4,000,000 by the
Conversion Price of the Shares sold at the Second Closing, (ii) multiplying the
quotient obtained from such division by .40 and (iii) dividing the product
obtained from such multiplication by 40,000. On the date of the Initial Closing
and at the Second Closing, if any, simultaneously with the purchase of the
Preferred Stock by the Warrant Holder pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement,
the Issuer shall deliver to the Warrant Holder a Warrant Certificate evidencing
the Warrants which the Warrant Holder is entitled to receive at the Initial
Closing and the Second Closing, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms
hereof.

SECTION 4. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Issuer shall maintain at the Warrant Office the
Warrant Register for registration of the Warrants and Warrant
Certificates and transfers thereof. On the date hereof the Issuer shall
register the outstanding Warrants and Warrant Certificates in the name
of the Warrant Holder. The Issuer may deem and treat the registered
holder(s) of the Warrant Certificates as the absolute owner(s) thereof
and the Warrants represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing on the Warrant Certificates made by any
Person) for the purpose of any exercise thereof or any distribution to
the holder(s) thereof, and for all other purposes, and the Issuer shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(b) Subject to Section 13 hereof, the Issuer shall register
the transfer of any outstanding Warrants in the Warrant Register upon
surrender of the Warrant Certificate(s) evidencing such warrants to the
Issuer at the Warrant Office, accompanied (if so required by it) by a
written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to
it, duly executed by the registered holder or holders thereof or by the
duly appointed legal representative thereof. Upon any such registration
of transfer, new Warrant Certificate(s) evidencing such transferred
Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) and the surrendered
Warrant Certificate(s) shall be canceled. If less than all the Warrants
evidenced by Warrant Certificate(s) surrendered for transfer are to be
transferred, new Warrant Certificate(s) shall be issued to the holder
surrendering such Warrant Certificate(s) evidencing such remaining
number of Warrants.
(c) Warrant Certificates may be exchanged at the option of the
holder(s) thereof, when surrendered to the Issuer at the Warrant
Office, for another Warrant Certificate or other Warrant Certificates
of like tenor and representing in the aggregate a like number of
Warrants. Warrant Certificates surrendered for exchange shall be
canceled.
(d) No charge shall be made for any such transfer or exchange
except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection
therewith. Except as provided in Section 13(b) hereof, each Warrant
Certificate issued upon transfer or exchange shall bear the legend set
forth in Section 13(b) hereof if the Warrant Certificate presented for
transfer or exchange bore such legend.
SECTION 5. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. If any Warrant
Certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Issuer shall
issue, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated
Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant Certificate
lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and
representing an equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Issuer of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant
Certificate and, if reasonably requested, indemnity satisfactory to it. No
service charge shall be made for any such substitution, but all expenses and
reasonable charges
6
associated with procuring such indemnity and all stamp, tax and other
governmental duties that may be imposed in relation thereto shall be borne by
the holder of such Warrant Certificate. Each Warrant Certificate issued in any
such substitution shall bear the legend set forth in Section 13(b) hereof if the
Warrant Certificate for which such substitution was made bore such legend.
SECTION 6. Duration and Exercise of Warrants.
(a) The Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate shall be
exercisable in whole or in part by the registered holder thereof on any
Business Day at any time from and after the date of the Initial Closing
or the Second Closing, as the case may be, and prior to 5:00 P.M. in
New York City on the Expiration Date.
(b) Subject to the provisions of this Warrant Agreement, upon
presentation of the Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants to be
exercised, with the form of election to purchase on the reverse thereof
duly completed and signed by the registered holder or holders thereof,
to the Issuer at the Warrant Office, and upon payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which
such Warrants are being exercised in lawful money of the United States
of America, the Issuer shall issue and cause to be delivered to or upon
the written order of the registered holder(s) of such Warrants and in
such name or names as such registered holder(s) may designate, a
certificate for the Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise of such
Warrants. Any Person(s) so designated to be named therein shall be
deemed to have become holder(s) of record of such Warrant Shares as of
the date of exercise of such Warrants. Certificates for the Warrant
Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares
specified in the Warrant Certificate, shall be delivered to the
registered holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3)
Business Days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The
certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be
requested by the registered holder and shall be registered in the name
of the registered holder or such other name as shall be designated by
such registered holder.
(c) If less than all of the Warrants evidenced by a Warrant
Certificate are exercised at any time, a new Warrant Certificate or
Certificates shall be issued for the remaining number of Warrants
evidenced by such Warrant Certificate. Each new Warrant Certificate so
issued shall bear the legend set forth in Section 13(b) hereof if the
Warrant Certificate presented in connection with partial exercise
thereof bore such legend. All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon
exercise of Warrants shall be canceled.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the
six-month anniversary of the date hereof, the Issuer may, at its sole
option, compel the
7
involuntary conversion of all, but not less than all, of the
outstanding Warrants into Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price in the
event that (i) the Current Market Price Per Share (as hereinafter
defined) is equal to or in excess of two hundred percent (200%) of the
Exercise Price per Warrant Share for a period of at least twenty
consecutive Trading Days, (ii) the Warrant Shares have been registered
under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Stock Purchase
Agreement and such registration has been declared effective by the
Commission and is effective on such date and (iii) the Issuer has a
sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock reserved for
issuance upon conversion of the Warrants. In the event that the Issuer
elects to compel such involuntary conversion of all outstanding
Warrants, it shall promptly notify the Warrant Holder of such election
at least ten (10) days in advance of the date set forth in such
conversion notice whereupon the Warrants shall be deemed converted into
shares of Common Stock as of the date set forth in the Issuer's
conversion notice.
(e) In lieu of physical delivery of the Warrants, provided
that Issuer's transfer agent is participating in The Depository Trust
Company ("DTC") Shares Fast Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST")
program, upon request of the Warrant Holder and in compliance with the
provisions hereof, the Issuer shall use its best efforts to cause its
transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares to the
Warrant Holder by crediting the account of the Warrant Holder's prime
broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system.
The time period for delivery described herein shall apply to the
electronic transmittals described herein.
SECTION 7. No Fractional Shares. The Issuer shall not be required to
issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants but may
pay for any such fraction of a share an amount in cash equal to the Current
Market Price per Share of Common Stock of such share multiplied by such
fraction. The "Current Market Price Per Share" on any date shall be deemed to
be, for any day, the last sale price for the Common Stock on the principal
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading,
or, if not so listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange, the last
sale price for the Common Stock on the National Association of Securities
Dealers National Market System, or, if the Common Stock shall not be listed on
such system, the closing bid price of the Common Stock in the over-the-counter
market.
SECTION 8. Payment of Taxes. The Issuer will pay all taxes (other than
any applicable income or similar taxes payable by the holders of the Warrants or
Warrant Shares) attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of the Warrants; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to pay
any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue of
any Warrant Certificate or any certificate for Warrant Shares in a name other
than that of the registered holder of a
8
Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and the Issuer
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 Issuer
the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Issuer that such tax has been paid.
SECTION 9. Reservation and Issuance of Warrant Shares.
(a) The Issuer will at all times have authorized, and reserve
and keep available for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any
obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants,
the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of all
outstanding Warrants.
(b) Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment
pursuant to Section 11 hereof reducing the Exercise Price below the
then par value (if any) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants, the Issuer will take any corporate action which may be
necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully
paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price as so
adjusted.
(c) The Issuer covenants that all Warrant Shares will, upon
issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant Agreement, be
duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes with respect to the issuance thereof and from all liens, charges
and security interests created (whether by affirmative action or
inaction) by the Issuer and shall not have any legends or restrictions
on resale, except as required by Section 13(b) hereof.
(d) The Issuer shall promptly secure the listing of the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants upon the
national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any,
upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official
notice of issuance upon exercise of the Warrants) and shall maintain,
so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such
listing of all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon
the exercise of the Warrants.
SECTION 10. Obtaining of Governmental Approvals and Stock Exchange
Listings. The Issuer will, at its own expense, (a) obtain and keep effective any
and all permits, consents and approvals of governmental agencies and authorities
which may from time to time be required of the Issuer in order to satisfy its
obligations hereunder and (b) take all action which may be necessary so that the
Warrant Shares, immediately upon their issuance upon the exercise of the
Warrants, will be listed on each securities exchange or over-the-counter market,
if any, on which the Common Stock is then listed if such listing is permitted by
applicable law, regulation or rule.
9
SECTION 11. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares
Purchasable. Prior to the Expiration Date, the Exercise Price and the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant are subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of any of the events enumerated
in this Section 11.
(a) In the event that the Issuer shall at any time after the
date of this Agreement (i) declare a dividend on the Common Stock in
Common Stock, Convertible Securities or other Rights, (ii) split or
subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by
reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of Common Stock,
Convertible Securities or other Rights, then, in each such event, the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant
immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the holder shall be
entitled to receive the kind and number of such shares or other
securities of the Issuer which the holder would have owned or have been
entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described
above, had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the
happening of such event (or any record date with respect thereto). Such
adjustment shall be made whenever any of the events listed above shall
occur. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become
effective immediately after the effective date of the event retroactive
to the record date, if any, for the event.
(b) If at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant
to this Section 11, the holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised
shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Issuer other than
shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so
receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares
contained in this Section 11, and the provisions of this Agreement with
respect to the Warrant Shares shall apply on like terms to such other
shares.
(c) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of each warrant is adjusted pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof,
the Exercise Price per Warrant Share payable upon exercise of each
Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price
immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and the
denominator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
immediately after such adjustment; provided, however, that in no event
shall the Exercise Price be adjusted to an amount which is less than
the par value of the Common Stock.
(d) In the event of any capital reorganization of the Issuer,
or of any
10
reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a reclassification
referred to in Section 11(a)(iv) above), or in case of the
consolidation of the Issuer with or the merger of the Issuer with or
into any other corporation or of the sale of the properties and assets
of the Issuer as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other Person,
each Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification
of Common Stock, consolidation, merger or sale, and in lieu of being
exercisable for Warrant Shares, be exercisable, upon the terms and
conditions specified in this Warrant Agreement, for the number of
shares of stock or other securities or assets to which a holder of the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable (at the time of such capital
reorganization, reclassification of Common Stock, consolidation, merger
or sale) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled upon
such capital reorganization, reclassification of Common Stock,
consolidation, merger or sale; and in any such case, if necessary, the
provisions set forth in this Section 11 with respect to the rights
thereafter of the holders of the Warrants shall be appropriately
adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as they may reasonably be,
to any shares of stock or other securities or assets thereafter
deliverable on the exercise of the Warrants. The Issuer shall not
effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to or
simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation
(if other than the Issuer) resulting from such consolidation or merger
or the corporation purchasing such assets or the appropriate
corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument, the
obligation to deliver to the holder of each Warrant the shares of
stock, securities or assets to which, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, such holder may be entitled and all other obligations of
the Issuer under this Warrant Agreement. The provisions of this
paragraph (d) shall apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, consolidations, mergers and sales.
(e) Except with respect to Excluded Securities (as defined
below), in case the Issuer shall issue any shares of Common Stock or
Convertible Securities after the date hereof at a price per share (or
having a conversion or exercise price per share) of less than the
Exercise Price per Warrant Share, the Exercise Price per Warrant Share
shall be appropriately adjusted by decreasing (but not increasing) the
Exercise Price per Warrant Share to such lower price per share. An
adjustment made pursuant to clause (a) shall be made the next Business
Day following the date on which any such issuance is made and shall be
effective retroactively to the close of business on the date of such
issuance. For purposes of this clause (e), the consideration receivable
by the Issuer in connection with the issuance of additional shares of
Common Stock or of Convertible Securities after the date hereof shall
be deemed to be equal to (X) in the case the consideration received by
the Issuer is cash, the sum of the aggregate offering price (before
deduction of underwriting discounts or commissions and expenses payable
to third parties, if any) of all such Common Stock and/or Convertible
Securities plus the minimum aggregate amount, if any, payable upon
conversion, exchange or exercise of any such Convertible
11
Securities, and (Y) in the case the consideration received by the
Issuer is other than cash, the fair market value of the consideration
received by the Issuer as determined by the good faith judgment of the
Board of Directors of the Issuer; provided, however, that in the event
the Warrant Holder disagrees in good faith with the determination of
the Board of Directors of the Issuer, such fair market value shall be
determined by a nationally recognized or major regional investment
banking firm or firm of independent certified public accountants of
recognized standing (an "Appraiser") selected in good faith by the
Warrant Holder; and provided, further, that the Issuer, after receipt
of the determination by such Appraiser shall have the right to select
in good faith an additional Appraiser meeting the same qualifications,
in which case the fair market value shall be equal to the average of
the determinations by each such Appraiser. The issuance or reissuance
of any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (whether
treasury shares or newly issued shares) pursuant to a dividend or
distribution on, or subdivision, combination or reclassification of,
the outstanding shares of Common Stock requiring an adjustment in the
Exercise Price per Warrant Share pursuant to clause (a), shall not be
deemed to constitute an issuance of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities by the Issuer pursuant to which this clause (e) applies.
Upon the expiration or termination of any unconverted, unexchanged or
unexercised Convertible Securities for which an adjustment has been
made pursuant to this clause (e), the adjustments shall forthwith be
reversed to effect such Exercise Price per Warrant Share as would have
been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such
Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to
such expiration or termination, had never been issued. For purposes of
this clause (e), "Excluded Securities" shall mean: (i) shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock; (ii) shares of
Common Stock issuable or issued to employees of and consultants to the
Issuer pursuant to the Management Option Plan; (iii) any capital stock
issued as a stock dividend or upon any stock split or other subdivision
or combination of shares of the Issuer's capital stock; (iv) shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Convertible Securities
issued prior to the date hereof and outstanding on the date hereof, (v)
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Issuer's Class A
Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding on the date hereof or (vi)
Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exercise of Convertible
Securities issued after the date hereof as to which an adjustment to
the Exercise Price per Warrant Share has been made pursuant to this
clause (e) upon the issuance of such Convertible Securities.
(f) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or
the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants,
Warrant Certificates theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to
express the same Exercise Price per share and number and kind of shares
as are stated on the Warrant Certificates initially issuable pursuant
to this Agreement.
12
(g) If any question shall at any time arise with respect to
the adjusted Exercise Price or Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise,
such question shall be determined by the independent auditors of the
Issuer and such determination shall be binding upon the Issuer and the
holders of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares.
SECTION 12. Notices to the Warrant Holder. Upon any adjustment of the
Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise pursuant to
Section 11 hereof the Issuer shall promptly, but in any event within ten
Business Days thereafter, cause to be given to the Warrant Holder, at its
address appearing on the Warrant Register by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth the Exercise
Price as so adjusted and/or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of each Warrant as so adjusted and describing in reasonable detail
the facts accounting for such adjustment and the method of calculation used.
Where appropriate, such certificate may be given in advance and included as a
part of the notice required to be mailed under the other provisions of this
Section 12.
In the event:
(a) the Issuer shall authorize issuance to all holders of
Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Capital
Stock of the Issuer or of any other subscription rights or warrants; or
(b) the Issuer shall authorize a dividend or other
distribution to all holders of Common Stock payable in evidences of its
indebtedness, cash or assets; or
(c) of any consolidation or merger to which the Issuer is a
party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Issuer is
required, or of the conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets
of the Issuer substantially as an entirety, or of any capital
reorganization or reclassification or change 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, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination); or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Issuer; or
(e) the Issuer shall authorize any other action which would
require an adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise pursuant to Section 11 hereof;
then the Issuer shall cause to be given to the Warrant Holder at its address
appearing on the Warrant Register, at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to
the applicable record
13
date hereinafter specified (or as expeditiously as possible after the occurrence
of any involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up referred to in clause
(d) above), by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a written notice stating (i)
the date as of which the holders of record of Common Stock to be entitled to
receive any such rights, warrants or distribution are to be determined, or (ii)
the date on which any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective (or has
become effective, in the case of any involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up), and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of
Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities or other
property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. The failure to
give the notice required by this Section 12 or any defect therein shall not
affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, warrant,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, or the vote upon any action.
SECTION 13. Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) The Warrant Holder represents that it is not acquiring the
Warrants (and upon any exercise of the Warrants, each holder represents
that it will not be acquiring the Warrant Shares) with a view to any
distribution or public offering within the meaning of the Securities
Act but subject to any requirement of law that the disposition of its
property shall at all times be within its control. The Warrant Holder
acknowledges that the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants have not as of the date hereof been registered under the
Securities Act and agrees that it will not sell or otherwise transfer
any of its Warrant Shares except upon the terms and conditions
specified herein.
(b) (i) The Warrant Holder agrees, and each subsequent
transferee described in paragraph (ii) below shall agree, that it will
not transfer any Warrant Shares except pursuant to an exemption from,
or otherwise in a transaction not subject to, the registration
requirements of the Securities Act (as confirmed in an opinion of
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to the transferor to the
effect that the proposed transfer may be effected without registration
under the Securities Act) or pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act.
(ii) Each Warrant Certificate and each certificate for the
Warrant Shares (unless the legal opinion delivered in connection
therewith is to the effect that the first paragraph of such legend is
not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act)
shall include a legend in substantially the following form:
THE WARRANTS AND UNDERLYING SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933 OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
14
TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER, AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR OTHERWISE IN A
TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF
SUCH ACT.
IN ADDITION, THE WARRANTS AND UNDERLYING SHARES MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY
IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE WARRANT AGREEMENT,
DATED AS OF JUNE 11, 1999, BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE INITIAL HOLDER OF
THE WARRANTS NAMED THEREIN, A COMPLETE AND CORRECT COPY OF WHICH IS
AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER AND WILL
BE FURNISHED TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT
CHARGE.
SECTION 14. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Warrant
Agreement may be amended, supplemented, waived, discharged or terminated by a
written instrument signed by the Issuer and the holders of a majority of the
then outstanding Warrants.
SECTION 15. Notices.
(a) Any notice or demand to be given or made by the holders of
the Warrants or the Warrant Shares to the Issuer pursuant to this
Warrant Agreement shall be sufficiently given or made if personally
delivered, sent by overnight courier or telecopied (in each such case
delivery will be effective upon receipt) or mailed by certified mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested (delivery will be effective
three days after the date of mailing) addressed to the Issuer at the
Warrant Office.
(b) Any notice to be given by the Issuer to the Warrant Holder
shall be sufficiently given if personally delivered, sent by overnight
courier or telecopied (in each such case delivery will be effective
upon receipt) or mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested (delivery will be effective three days after the date
of mailing) addressed to such holder as such holder's name and address
