("Maker"), having a mailing address of 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxx 000,
Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, promises to pay to the order of FERNWOOD PARTNERS

assigns (Payee or such registered assigns at the time being the registered
holder or holders hereof are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Holder"), at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attn:
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, or at such other place as the Holder hereof may direct in
writing, the aggregate principal sum of One Million and No/100 Dollars
($1,000,000.00), together with interest from the date hereof on the unpaid
principal amount, as follows:
1. Interest. The unpaid principal amount hereof shall bear
interest at the rate of 11.5% per annum. Any amount of principal or interest not
paid when due (whether at the stated due date, at maturity, upon acceleration or
otherwise) shall thereafter bear interest until paid in full at the rate of
17.5% per annum. Interest shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed
on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. All interest
on this Note shall be compounded quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and
October 1 of each year commencing on April 1, 2001.

3. Payments. All payments of principal and interest are to be
made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments received
shall be applied first to unpaid interest, then principal. This Note cannot be
prepaid without the written consent of the Holder.
4. Default. In the event that (a) any payment of principal or
interest due hereunder is not paid when due; or (b) Maker becomes subject to any
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or debtor relief proceedings and, in the
case of any such proceedings initiated against Maker, the same have not been
discharged within sixty (60) days after institution; or (c) Maker makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits in writing an inability to
pay its debts generally as they become due; or (d) Maker fails to comply with or
perform any covenant, agreement or condition of this Note or any other Loan
Document; or (e) any statement, representation or warranty in any of the Loan
Documents, is false, misleading or erroneous in any material respect on the date

correct (as of the time such corrective action is taken) within the applicable
grace period (if any) provided for in such Loan Document; or (f) the occurrence
of any event or condition deemed to be a default under or as defined in any
other Loan Document; then an event of default hereunder shall be deemed to have
occurred and then or thereafter, at the option of the Holder hereof, the entire
principal and accrued interest of this Note shall become immediately due and
payable, without further notice to Maker. The failure of the Holder to exercise
any right or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a release or waiver of
any obligation or liability of the Maker. As used herein, the term "Loan
Document" means any other document or instrument now or hereafter evidencing,
governing, guaranteeing or securing this Note or any part thereof or otherwise
executed in connection with the loan evidenced or governed by this Note,
including, without limitation, the Loan Agreement and the Security Agreement.
5. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an event of default as
described above, the Holder may exercise any rights and remedies available to it
provided herein or by law or in equity. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, all benefits, rights and remedies hereunder shall be deemed cumulative and
not exclusive of any other thereof.
6. Security. This Note is secured by the security interests and
assignments created by that certain Security Agreement dated as of August 26,
1999 (as such may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented and/or restated,
the "Security Agreement"), executed by Maker in favor of the Secured Parties
thereunder, to which Security Agreement reference is made for a more complete
description of the collateral, the nature and extent of the security, and the
rights of the Holder in respect of such security.
7. Subordination. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is
expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Loan
Agreement, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all the Senior
Indebtedness of Maker. As used in this Note, the term "Senior Indebtedness"
shall mean the principal and unpaid accrued interest on all indebtedness of
Maker to Coast Business Credit, a division of Southern Pacific Bank, including
any renewals, extensions and refundings of such indebtedness.

8. Conversion.
8.1 Conversion by Holder. Any Holder of this Note has the
right, at the Holder's option, at any time prior to payment in full of the
principal balance of this Note, to convert this Note, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.3 hereof, in whole or in part, into fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock of Maker (the "Common Stock"). The number
of shares of Common Stock into which this Note may be converted (the "Conversion
Shares") shall be determined by dividing the aggregate principal amount together
with all accrued interest to the date of conversion by the Conversion Price (as
defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The initial Conversion Price
shall be equal to One Dollar and 51/100 ($1.51).
8.2 Conversion by Maker. At the option of Maker, the
entire principal amount together with all accrued interest of this Note may be
converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price if (i) shares of
the Common Stock close at a price in excess of Four Dollars ($4.00) per share
for ninety (90) consecutive trading days, and (ii) the shares of Common Stock
into which this Note is converted are fully registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and freely transferable.
8.3 Conversion Procedure.
(a) Notice of Conversion Pursuant to Section
8.1. Before the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note into shares of
Common Stock, it shall surrender this Note at the office of Maker and shall give
written notice by mail, postage prepaid, to Maker at its principal corporate
office, of the election to convert the same pursuant to Section 8.1, and shall
state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for
shares of Common Stock are to be issued. Maker shall, as soon as practicable
thereafter, issue and deliver to the Holder of this Note a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder of
this Note shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to
have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such
surrender of this Note, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes
as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date.
(b) Notice of Conversion Pursuant to Section
8.2. If this Note is converted by Maker pursuant to Section 8.2, written notice
shall be delivered to the Holder of this Note at the address last shown on the
records of Maker for the Holder or given by the Holder to Maker for the purpose
of notice or, if no such address appears or is given, at the place where the
principal executive office of Maker is located, notifying the Holder of the
conversion to be effected, specifying the principal amount of the Note to be
converted, the amount of accrued interest to be converted, the date on which
such conversion will occur and calling upon such holder to surrender to Maker,
in the manner and at the place designated, the Note.
8.4 Delivery of Stock Certificates. As promptly as
practicable after the conversion of this Note, Maker at its expense will issue
and deliver to the Holder of this Note a certificate or certificates for the
number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
9
10
8.5 Mechanics and Effect of Conversion. No fractional shares of
Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of Maker
issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note,
Maker shall pay to the Holder the amount of outstanding principal that is not so
converted, such payment to be in the form as provided below. Upon the conversion
of this Note, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the
principal office of Maker. At its expense, Maker shall, as soon as practicable
thereafter, issue and deliver to such Holder at such principal office a
certificate or certificates for the number of shares of such Common Stock to
which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion (bearing such legends as
are required by applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of
counsel to Maker), together with any other securities and property to which the
Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note, including
a check payable to the Holder for any cash amounts payable as described above.
In the event of any conversion of this Note, such conversion shall be deemed to
have been made immediately prior to the closing for the issuance and sale of
such Common Stock and on and after such date the Holder of this Note entitled to
receive the shares of such Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares. Upon conversion of
this Note, Maker shall be forever released from its obligations and liabilities
under this Note, except that Maker shall be obligated to pay the Holder, within
ten (10) days after the date of such conversion, any interest accrued and unpaid
or unconverted to and including the date of such conversion.
9. Adjustments. The Conversion Price in effect at any time shall
be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) Dividends, Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits. In
case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend on all its Common Stock in shares
of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock,
(iii) combine all the outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common
Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation, merger, conveyance
or transfer subject to Section 10) any shares, the Conversion Price in effect at
the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such
subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted
so that the Holder of this Note upon conversion after such time shall be
entitled to receive the number and kind of shares which the Holder would have
owned or have been entitled to receive had this Note been converted immediately
prior to such time. Such adjustment will become effective immediately prior to
the opening of business on the day following the date on which such dividend is
declared or such subdivision or combination becomes effective. Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) Issuances Below Market. In case the Company shall fix
a record date for the issuance of rights or warrants to all holders of its
Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock
at a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common
Stock (as determined pursuant to subsection (e) below) on such record date, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such rights or
warrants shall be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion
Price by a fraction, of
10
11
which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on
such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
offering price of the total number of shares to be offered would purchase at
such current market price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of
additional shares of Common Stock to be offered for subscription or purchase.
Such adjustment will become effective immediately prior to the opening of
business on the day following such record date. Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever such a record date is fixed, and in the event that such
rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be
adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record
date had not been fixed.
(c) Special Dividends. In case the Company shall fix a
record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock
(including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or
merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of its
indebtedness, securities or assets (excluding cash dividends paid out of
retained earnings) or subscription rights or warrants (excluding those referred
to in subsection (b) above), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such distribution shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a
fraction, of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share of
Common Stock (as determined pursuant to subsection (e) below) on such record
date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors) of the portion of such evidences of indebtedness, securities or
assets or of such subscription rights or warrants so applicable to one share of
Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price
per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment will become effective immediately
prior to the opening of business on the day following such record date. Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, and
in the event that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall
again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if
such record date had not been fixed.
(d) Other Distributions. In case the Company shall
distribute evidences of its indebtedness, securities, assets, rights or warrants
to any Person (as defined in Section 10) in connection with or as a result of or
related to any pending or future claims, suits, actions or proceedings against
the Company or any of its subsidiaries, then in each such case the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such distribution shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be
the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined by pursuant to
subsection (e) below) on the date of such distribution, less the fair market
value (as determined in good faith by the Board and Directors) of the portion of
such evidences of indebtedness, securities, assets, rights or warrants so
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the
denominator shall be such current market price per share of Common Stock. Such
adjustment will become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on
the day following the date of such distribution. Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever any such distribution or issuance is made. The intent of
this subsection is that if any evidences of indebtedness, securities, assets,
rights or warrants are distributed in connection with or as a result of or
related to any pending or future claims, suits, actions or proceedings against
the Company or any of its subsidiaries, that the
11
12
Holder of this Note shall be entitled to convert this Note into the same
percentage of the outstanding capital stock of the Company for the same
aggregate conversion price immediately after such distribution as the Holder of
this Note could convert immediately prior to such distribution.
(e) Other Dilutive Events. In case any event shall occur
as to which the provisions of Section 9 are not strictly applicable but the
failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the conversion rights
represented by this Note in accordance with the essential intent and principles
hereof then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent
certified public accountants of recognized national standing (which may be the
regular auditors of the Company), which shall give its opinion upon the
adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and
principles established in Section 9, necessary to preserve, without dilution,
the conversion rights represented by this Note. Upon receipt of such opinion,
the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder of this Note and
shall make the adjustments described therein. Notwithstanding anything contained
in this subsection (e) to the contrary, this subsection (e) shall not apply to
any issuance of Common Stock by the Company for which the Company has received
consideration equal to the fair market value of such Common Stock on the date of
issuance, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.
(f) No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by
amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
the provisions of this Section 9 and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion privilege of the
Holder of this Note against dilution or other impairment.
(g) Market Price Determination. For the purpose of any
computation under subsections (b), (c) and (d) above, the current market price
per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the
daily closing prices for the ten (10) consecutive trading dates immediately
preceding such date. The closing price for each day shall be the last reported
sale price on that day or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such
day, the average of the last reported bid and asked prices, regular way, on that
day, in either case, as reported in the consolidated transaction reporting
system with respect to securities quoted on Nasdaq or, if the shares of Common
Stock are not quoted on Nasdaq, as reported in the principal consolidated
transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal
national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or
admitted to trading or, if the shares of Common Stock are not quoted on Nasdaq
and not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the
last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low
asked prices on such other nationally recognized quotation system then in use,
or, if on any such day the shares of Common Stock are not quoted on any such
quotation system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished
by a professional market maker selected by the Board of Directors making a
market in the shares of Common Stock.
12
13
If the shares of Common Stock are not publicly held or so listed, quoted or
publicly traded, the current market price per share of Common Stock shall be
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(h) Minimum Adjustment Required. No adjustment in the
Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least $0.01 in such price; provided, however, that
any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (h) are not required to be
made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest
cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
(i) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. The Company may make
such adjustments in the Conversion Price so as to increase the number of shares
issuable on conversion, in addition to those adjustments required by this
Section 9, as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for
Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be
taxable to the recipients.
(j) Certificate. Whenever the Conversion Price is
adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly cause a certificate
setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a
brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and a computation thereof
to be mailed to the Holder of this Note at the address shown in the registration
books of the Company.
(k) Adjustments to Other Shares. In the event that at any
time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (a) above, the
Holder of this Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled
to receive any shares of the Company other than shares of its Common Stock,
thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of this
Note 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 Common
Stock contained in subsections (a)-(j) above.
10. Effect of Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance or Transfer. In
case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into,
any other person, any merger of another Person into the Company (other than a
merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or
cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any sale,
transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the
Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which
acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the
Holder a supplemental agreement providing that the Holder of this Note shall
have the right hereafter, during the period this Note shall be convertible, to
convert such Note into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other
property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which this
Note was convertible immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not a
Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or
which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer
13
14
was made, as the case may be ("Constituent Person"), or an affiliate of a
Constituent Person, and (ii) failed to exercise such Holder's rights of
election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other
property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer (provided
that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable
upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer is not the same for each share
of Common Stock of the Company held immediately prior to such consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or lease by other than a Constituent Person or an
affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have
been exercised ("Non-Electing Share"), then for the purpose of this Section 10
the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by each Non-Electing Share shall be
deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the
Non-Electing Shares). Such supplemental agreement shall provide for adjustments
which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental
agreement, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 10. The above provisions of this
Section 10 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers,
conveyances or transfers. For purposes of this Note, the term "Person" shall
mean any individual, firm, corporation, company, limited liability company,
association, partnership, joint venture or other entity.
11. Prior Notice of Certain Events. In the event that:
(a) Maker shall declare any dividend, whether payable in
cash or in any capital stock upon its Common Stock, or authorize any other
issuance or distribution to the holders of its Common Stock; or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization or
reclassification of the capital stock of Maker, or consolidation or merger of
Maker with another entity or a sale of all or substantially all its assets; or
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of Maker;
then, in any of said cases, Maker shall give prior written notice, by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered Holder of this
Note at the address of such registered Holder as shown on the registration books
of Maker, of the date on which (i) the books of Maker shall close or a record
shall be taken for such stock dividend, distribution or subscription rights,
(ii) such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up shall be consummated, or (iii) such other
event shall be consummated, as the case may be. Such notice shall also specify
the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record shall receive
said dividend, distribution or subscription rights or shall be entitled to
exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be. Such written notice shall be
given at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the event in question and
the record date or the date on which Maker's transfer books are closed in
respect thereto.
14
15
12. Change of Control. In the event that a Change of Control (as
defined below) has occurred, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, declare the
entire principal amount and accrued interest of this Note immediately due and
payable, without further notice to Maker. A "Change of Control" occurs upon any
of the following events: (i) upon any merger or consolidation of Maker with or
into any other Person or any other sale, transfer or other disposition, whether
direct or indirect, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, on
a consolidated basis, in one transaction or a series of related transactions,
if, immediately after giving effect to such transaction, any "person" or "group"
is or becomes the "beneficial owner," directly or indirectly, of more than 50%
of the total voting power in the aggregate normally entitled to vote in the
election of directors, managers, or trustees, as applicable, of the transferee
or surviving entity, (ii) when any "person" or "group" is or becomes the
"beneficial owner," directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting
power in the aggregate normally entitled to vote in the election of directors of
Maker, (iii) when, during any period of 12 consecutive months after the date
hereof, individuals who at the beginning of any such 12-month period constituted
the Board of Directors of Maker (together with any new directors whose election
by such Board or whose nomination for election by the stockholders of Maker was
approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who were
either directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination
for election was previously so approved) cease to constitute a majority of the
Board of Directors of Maker then in office, (iv) a sale, transfer or other
disposition, whether directly or indirectly, by Maker of all or substantially
all of its assets, on a consolidated basis, or (v) the pro rata distribution by
Maker to its stockholders of substantially all of its assets. For purposes of
this definition of "Change of Control," (i) the terms "person" and "group" shall
have the meanings used for purposes of Rules l3d-3 and 13d-5 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as in effect on the date
hereof, whether or not applicable; and (ii) the term "beneficial owner" shall
have the meaning used in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act as in
effect on the date hereof, whether or not applicable, except that a "person"
shall be deemed to have "beneficial ownership" of all shares that any such
person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately
or only after the passage of time or upon the occurrence of certain events.
13. Transfer of this Note or Securities Issuable on Conversion
Hereof. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Note or
securities into which this Note may be converted, the Holder will give written
notice to Maker prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together
with a written opinion of such Holder's counsel to the effect that such offer,
sale or other distribution may be effected without registration or qualification
(under any federal or state law then in effect). Promptly upon receiving such
written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion, if so requested, Maker, as
promptly as practicable, shall notify such Holder that such Holder may sell or
otherwise dispose of this Note or such securities, all in accordance with the
terms of the notice delivered to Maker. If a determination has been made
pursuant to this Section 13 that the opinion of counsel for the Holder is not
reasonably satisfactory to Maker, the Maker shall so notify the Holder promptly
after such determination has been made. Each Note thus transferred and each
certificate representing the securities thus transferred shall bear a legend as
to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance
with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), unless in the opinion
of counsel for Maker such
15
16
legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Act. Maker may
issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such
restrictions.
14. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company
shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the
Note such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of the Note; and if at any time the number
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to
effect the conversion of the entire outstanding principal amount and accrued
interest of this Note, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available
to the Holder, the Company will use its best efforts to take such corporate
action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall
be sufficient for such purposes.
15. Registration Rights. Upon conversion of this Note, the Holder
shall have and be entitled to exercise, together with all other holders of
Common Stock possessing registration rights under the Loan Agreement, the
registration rights granted under the Loan Agreement with respect to the shares
of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note.
16. Obligations Absolute. All obligations of Maker hereunder are
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any effect or counterclaim of Maker
against the Holder. Maker hereby waives the right to enforce any right of
offset, counterclaim or breach in any action brought to enforce the obligations
of Maker under this Note.
17. Waivers. Maker and any co-makers, sureties, endorsers and
guarantors of this Note hereby jointly and severally waive presentment for
payment, notices of non-performance or nonpayment, protest, notices of protest,
notice of dishonor, diligence in bringing suit hereon against any party hereto
and notice of acceleration, and further consent to any extension of time for
payment hereunder (whether one or more), any renewal hereof (whether one or
more), any substitution or release of any collateral, and any addition or
release of any party liable for payment of this Note. Any such extension,
renewal, substitution or release may be made by the Holder without notice to any
such party and without discharging such party's liability hereunder.
18. Collection Costs; Attorneys' Fees. Maker agrees to pay all
expenses and costs of collection, including all reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses as awarded by a court, court costs, and similar costs incurred by the
Holder in connection with the enforcement of this Note, endeavoring to collect
any amounts payable hereunder, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
19. Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Note or the
application thereof to any party or circumstances is held invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Note and the application of any such
provision to other parties or circumstances shall not be affected thereby, the
provisions of this Note being severable in any such instance. No invalid
provision hereof shall affect or impair any other provision of this Note.
16
17
20. Conflict. In the event of a conflict as between the terms and
conditions hereof and the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, the terms
and conditions of this Note shall control. In lieu of any such conflict of terms
both documents shall be of equal force and effect.
21. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to conflict
of law principles.
22. Amendments. Any amendment or modification to this Note shall
not be effective unless signed in writing by the Holder.
23. Headings; Construction. The headings of the sections of this
Note are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a
part hereof, words used herein of any gender shall be construed to include any
other gender where appropriate, and words used herein which are either singular
or plural shall be construed to include the other where appropriate.
24. Successors and Assigns. All of the covenants, stipulations,
promises, and agreements in this Note contained by or on behalf of Maker shall
bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not; provided, however,
that Maker may not, without the prior consent of the Holder, assign any rights,
duties, or obligations under this Note.
25. Maximum Interest Rate. Regardless of any provision contained
herein, or in any other documents or instruments executed in connection
herewith, the Holder hereof shall never be entitled to receive, collect, or
apply, as interest hereon, any amount in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate and
in the event the Holder hereof ever receives, collects, or applies, as interest,
any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed a
partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and, if the
principal hereof is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be refunded to
Maker. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any
specific contingency, exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, Maker and the Holder
hereof shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a)
characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than
as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c)
spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term
hereof; provided that if the interest received for the actual period of
existence hereof exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Holder hereof shall either
apply or refund to Maker the amount of such excess as herein provided, and in
such event the Holder hereof shall not be subject to any penalties provided by
any laws for contracting for, charging, or receiving interest in excess of the
Highest Lawful Rate. For purposes of this Note, the term "Highest Lawful Rate"
shall mean, at any given time, the maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any,
that may be contracted for or received on the indebtedness evidenced by this
Note under applicable federal and state laws.
26. NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THIS NOTE REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO
UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
17
18
27. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. MAKER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM
ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS NOTE BE TRIED BY JURY. THIS WAIVER
EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY ARISING FROM ANY SOURCE
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY
STATE THEREIN, COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE OR REGULATIONS. MAKER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING ITS RIGHT TO DEMAND
TRIAL BY JURY.

be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a
share called for upon the exercise of this Warrant, an amount equal to such
fraction multiplied by the closing price of the Common Stock on the day of such

Common Stock, on the last trading day with respect to the Common Stock preceding
such day) shall be paid to the Holder hereof in cash by the Company.

and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued
in the name of the Holder of this Warrant. Certificates will be issued in a name
other than that of
21
22
the Holder upon the request of the Holder and payment by the Holder of any
applicable transfer taxes.

that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and
unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuing upon exercise of the
purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock

The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation
or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance of
capital stock or sale of treasury stock (otherwise than upon exercise of this
Warrant) or sale of assets, or by any other voluntary act or deed, avoid or seek
to avoid the performance or observance of any of the covenants, stipulations or
conditions in this Warrant to be observed or performed by the Company. The
Company will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the
provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all other action which may be

of each change in the locations of such office.
SECTION 6.0. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant
and the Exercise Price thereof shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
after the date hereof upon the happening of certain events, as follows:
6.1. Adjustments to Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be subject
to adjustment as follows:
(a) Stock Dividends. In case the Company after the date
hereof shall pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of shares of
Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, then in any such case the Exercise Price
in effect at the opening of business on the day following the record date for
the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution shall be reduced to a price obtained by multiplying such Exercise
Price by a fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record date and (y)
the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding and the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such
dividend or distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after
the opening of business on the day following such record date. The Company will
not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in
the treasury of the Company.
22
23
(b) Stock Splits and Reverse Splits. In case after the
date hereof outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a
greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect at the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision
becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case
after the date hereof outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into
a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect at the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination
becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or
increase, as the case may be, shall entitle the Holder hereof to receive the
number and kind of shares which the Holder would have owned or have been
entitled to receive if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such
subdivision or combination. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately
prior to the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(c) Issuances Below Market. In case the Company after the
date hereof shall fix a record date of the issuance of rights or warrants to all
holders of its shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Closing Price
per share on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such rights or warrants, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of
business on the day following such record date shall be adjusted to a price
obtained by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (x) the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close
of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock that
the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares to be offered would
purchase at such Closing Price and (y) the denominator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record date
plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be offered for
subscription or purchase, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior
to the opening of business on the day following such record date; provided,
however, that no adjustment shall be made if the Company issues or distributes
to each Holder the rights or warrants that each Holder would have been entitled
to receive had the Warrants held by such Holder been exercised prior to such
record date. The Company shall not issue any rights or warrants in respect of
shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(d) Special Dividends. In case the Company after the date
hereof shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders
of shares of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection
with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving
corporation) evidences of its indebtedness, securities or assets (excluding any
dividends paid out of retained earnings), or subscription rights or warrants
(excluding those referred to in subsection (c) above), in each such case the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution shall be adjusted to a price obtained by multiplying such Exercise
Price by a fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the Closing Price per
share of Common Stock on such record date, less the then-current fair market
value as of such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors in its
good faith judgment) of the portion of assets, evidences of indebtedness,
securities or subscription rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one
share
23
24
of Common Stock, and (y) the denominator shall be such Closing Price, such
adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on
the day following such record date; provided, however, that no adjustment shall
be made (1) if the Company issues or distributes to each Holder the subscription
rights referred to above that each Holder would have been entitled to receive
had the Warrants held by such Holder been exercised prior to such record date,
or (2) if the Company grants to each Holder the right to receive, upon the
exercise of the Warrants held by such Holder at any time after the distribution
of the evidences of indebtedness or assets or equity securities referred to
above, the evidences of indebtedness or assets or equity securities that such
Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Warrants been exercised
prior to such record date. The Company shall provide any Holder, upon receipt of
a written request therefor, with any indenture or other instrument defining the
rights of the holders of any indebtedness, assets, subscription rights or equity
securities referred to in this subsection (d).
(e) Other Distributions. In case the Company after the
date hereof shall distribute evidences of its indebtedness, assets, equity
securities, rights or warrants to any Person in connection with or as a result
of or related to any pending or future claims, suits, actions or proceedings
against the Company or any of its subsidiaries, then in each such case the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date
of such distribution shall be adjusted to a price obtained by multiplying such
Exercise Price by a fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the Closing
Price per share of Common Stock on such date, less the then-current fair market
value as of such date (as determined by the Board of Directors in its good faith
judgment) of the portion of such evidences of indebtedness, assets, equity
securities, rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one share of Common
Stock, and (y) the denominator shall be such Closing Price, such adjustment to
become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day
following the date of such distribution. The intent of this subsection is that
if any evidences of indebtedness, securities, assets, rights or warrants are
distributed in connection with or as a result of or related to any pending or
future claims, suits, actions or proceedings against the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, that the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to exercise this
Warrant for the same percentage of the outstanding capital stock of the Company
for the same aggregate exercise price immediately after such distribution as the
Holder of this Warrant could acquire immediately prior to such distribution.
(f) Tender or Exchange Offer. In case a tender or ex
change offer made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any
portion of the Common Stock shall be consummated and such tender offer shall
involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by
the Board of Directors in its good faith judgment) at the last time (the "Offer
Time") tenders may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may
be amended) that, together with the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market
value (as determined by the Board of Directors in its good faith judgment), as
of the Offer Time, of consideration payable in respect of any tender or exchange
offer by the Company or any such subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common
Stock consummated preceding the Offer Time and in respect of which no Exercise
Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (f) has been made, exceeds 5% of
the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock at the Offer Time
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any
tendered shares) at the Offer Time, the Exercise Price shall be reduced so that
the same shall equal the price determined by
24
25
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Offer Time by
a fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be (i) the product of the Closing
Price of the Common Stock at the Offer Time multiplied by the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Offer Time
minus (ii) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate
consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum
specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly
tendered and not withdrawn as of the Offer Time (the shares deemed so accepted,
up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the
denominator shall be the product of (i) such Closing Price at the Offer Time
multiplied by (ii) such number of outstanding shares at the Offer Time minus the
number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior
to the opening of business on the day following the Offer Time. For purposes of
this subsection (f), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but
shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of
fractions of shares of Common Stock.
(g) Other Dilutive Events. In case any event shall occur
as to which the provisions of Section 6.1 are not strictly applicable but the
failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and
principles hereof then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of
independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing (which
may be the regular auditors of the Company), which shall give its opinion upon
the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and
principles established in Section 6.1, necessary to preserve, without dilution,
the purchase rights represented by this Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion,
the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder of this Warrant and
shall make the adjustments described therein. Notwithstanding anything contained
in this subsection (g) to the contrary, this subsection (g) shall not apply to
any issuance of Common Stock by the Company for which the Company has received
consideration equal to the fair market value of such Common Stock on the date of
issuance, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.
(h) No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by
amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
the provisions of this Section 6.1 and in the taking of all such action as may
be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the purchase privilege of the
Holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment.
(i) Closing Price Determination. For the purpose of any
computation under subsections (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 6.1, the Closing
Price of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the
Closing Prices for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding
such date; provided, however, that (i) if the "ex" date for any event (other
than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an
adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 6 occurs on or after
the tenth (10th) trading day prior to
25
26
the day in question and prior to the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution
requiring such computation, the Closing Price for each trading day prior to the
"ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing
Price by the same fraction which the Exercise Price is so required to be
adjusted as a result of such other event, (ii) if the "ex" date for any event
(other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that
requires an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 6 occurs
on or after the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution requiring such
computation and on or prior to the day in question, the Closing Price for each
trading day on and after the "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Closing Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the
Exercise Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event,
and (iii) if the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution requiring such
computation is on or prior to the day in question, after taking into account any
adjustment required pursuant to clause (ii) of this proviso, the Closing Price
for each trading day on or after such "ex" date shall be adjusted by adding
thereto the fair market value on the day in question (as determined by the Board
of Directors in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for the
purposes of subsection (d) of this Section 6.1) of the assets, evidences of
indebtedness, equity securities or subscription rights being distributed
applicable to one share of Common Stock as of the close of business on the day
before such "ex" date. For the purposes of any computation under subsection (f)
of this Section 6.1, the Closing Price on any date shall be deemed to be the
average of the daily Closing Prices for the ten (10) consecutive trading days
immediately preceding the Offer Time; provided, however, that if the "ex" date
for any event (other than the tender or exchange offer requiring such
computation) that requires an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this
Section 6 occurs on or after the tenth (10th) trading day prior to the Offer
Time for the tender or exchange offer requiring such computation, the Closing
Price for each trading day prior to the "ex" date for such other event shall be
adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the same fraction by which the
Exercise Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event.
For purposes of this subsection (g), the term "ex" date, (i) when used with
respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the
Common Stock trades regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant
market from which the Closing Price was obtained without the right to receive
such issuance or distribution, (ii) when used with respect to any subdivision or
combination of shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the Common
Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at
which such subdivision or combination becomes effective, and (iii) when used
with respect to any tender or exchange offer means the first date on which the
Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the
Offer Time of such tender or exchange offer.
(j) Minimum Adjustment Requirement. No adjustment shall
be required unless such adjustment would result in an increase or decrease of at
least $0.01 in the Exercise Price then subject to adjustment; provided, however,
that any adjustments that are not made by reason of this subsection (j) shall be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. In case the
Company shall at any time issue shares of Common Stock by way of dividend on any
stock of the Company or subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, said amount of $0.01 specified in the preceding sentence (as theretofore
increased or decreased, if said amount shall have been adjusted in accordance
with the provisions of this subsection (h)) shall forthwith be proportionately
increased in the case of such a
26
27
combination or decreased in the case of such a subdivision or stock dividend so
as appropriately to reflect the same.
(k) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 6.1 shall be
made to the nearest $0.01.
(l) Certificate. Whenever an adjustment in the Exercise
Price is made as required or permitted by the provisions of this Section 6.1,
the Company shall promptly cause a certificate of its chief financial officer
setting forth (A) the adjusted Exercise Price as provided in this Section 6.1
and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation
thereof and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock (or portions thereof)
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant after such adjustment in the Exercise
Price in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof and the record date therefor to be
mailed to the Holder of this Warrant at the address shown on the registration
books of the Company. Such certificate, in the absence of manifest error, shall
be conclusive and final evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
(m) Section 305. Anything in this Section 6.1 to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but not required, to
make such reductions in the Exercise Price, in addition to those required by
this Section 6.1, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable,
including, without limitation, in order that any dividend in or distribution of
shares of Common Stock or shares of capital stock of any class other than Common
Stock, subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Common Stock,
issuance of rights or warrants, or any other transaction having a similar
effect, shall not be treated as a distribution of property by the Company to its
stockholders under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
or any successor provision and shall not be taxable to them.
(n) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company shall
take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for purposes of taking any
action that requires an adjustment of the Exercise Price under this Section 6,
and shall, thereafter and before the effective date of such action, legally
abandon its plan to take such action, then thereafter no adjustment shall be
required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment
previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
6.2. Adjustment to Number of Shares of Stock. Upon each adjustment of
the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof the number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant outstanding prior to the
effectiveness of such adjustment shall be adjusted to the number, calculated to
the nearest one-hundredth of a share, obtained by (x) multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment upon the
exercise of this Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect prior to such
adjustment and (y) dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in
effect after such adjustment of the Exercise Price.

6.3. Organic Change.
(a) Company Survives. Upon the consummation of an Organic
Change (other than a transaction in which the Company is not the surviving
entity), lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such transaction
whereby the terms of this Warrant shall be modified, without payment of any
additional consideration therefor, so as to provide that upon exercise this
Warrant following the consummation of such Organic Change, the Holders of such
Warrant shall have the right to purchase only the kind and amount of securities,
cash and other property receivable upon such Organic Change by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock into which such Warrant might have been
exercised immediately prior to such Organic Change, assuming such holder of
Common Stock (i) is not a Person with which the Company consolidated or into
which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which a sale,
transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company was
made, as the case may be (a "Constituent Person"), or an affiliate of a
Constituent Person, and (ii) failed to exercise his or her rights of election,
if any, as to the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such Organic Change (provided that if the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Organic Change is not
the same for each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to such Organic
Change by others than a Constituent Person or an affiliate thereof and in
respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised
("Non-Electing Shares"), then for the purpose of this subsection (a) the kind
and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Organic
Change by each Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so
receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares); provided,
however, that no adjustment shall be made as a result of such Organic Change to
the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock notwithstanding any
provision of Section 6 hereof unless any event requiring any such adjustment
shall have occurred or shall occur prior to, upon or after such Organic Change.
Lawful provision also shall be made as part of the terms of the Organic Change
so that all other terms of this Warrant shall remain in full force and effect
following such an Organic Change. The provisions of this Section 6.3(a) shall
similarly apply to successive Organic Changes.
(b) Company Does Not Survive. The Company shall not enter
into an Organic Change that is a transaction in which the Company is not the
surviving entity unless lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of
such transaction whereby the surviving entity shall issue new securities to each
Holder, without payment of any additional consideration therefor, with terms
that provide that upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Holders of such Warrant
shall have the right to purchase only the kind and amount of securities, cash
and other property receivable upon such Organic Change by a holder of the number
of shares of Common Stock into which such Warrant might have been exercised
immediately prior to such Organic Change, assuming such holder of Common Stock
(i) is not a Constituent Person or an affiliate of a Constituent Person and (ii)
failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Organic Change
(provided that if the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such Organic Change is not the same for each Non-Electing Share,
then for the purpose of this subsection (b) the kind and amount of securities,
cash and other property receivable upon such Organic Change by each Non-Electing
Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a
plurality of the Non-Electing Shares); provided, however, that no adjustment
shall be made as a result of such Organic Change to the Exercise Price or the
number of shares of Common
28
29
Stock notwithstanding any provision of Section 6 hereof unless any event
requiring any such adjustment shall have occurred or shall occur prior to, upon
or after such Organic Change. The certificate or articles of incorporation or
other constituent document of the surviving entity shall provide for such
adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such
certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document, shall be
equivalent to the adjustments provided for in Section 6.1 hereof.
6.4. Statement on Warrants. This Warrant need not be changed because of
any adjustment made pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 hereof, and Warrants
issued after such adjustment may state the same Exercise Price and the same
Warrant Number as are stated in this Warrant.
SECTION 7.0. Prior Notice of Certain Events. In the event that:
(a) the Company shall declare any dividend, whether
payable in cash or in any capital stock upon its Common Stock, or authorize any
other issuance or distribution to the holders of its Common Stock; or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger
of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all its assets; or
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
then, in any of said cases, the Company shall give prior written notice, by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered Holder of this
Warrant at the address of such registered Holder as shown on the registration
books of the Company, of the date on which (i) the books of the Company shall
close or a record shall be taken for such stock dividend, distribution or
subscription rights, (ii) such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up shall be consummated, or
(iii) such other event shall be consummated, as the case may be. Such notice
shall also specify the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of
record shall receive said dividend, distribution or subscription rights or shall
be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be. Such written
notice shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the event
in question and the record date or the date on which the Company's transfer
books are closed in respect thereto.
SECTION 8.0. No Rights or Responsibilities as Shareholder. Except as
otherwise agreed in writing by the Holder and the Company, a Holder of this
Warrant, as such, shall not be subject to any responsibilities as a shareholder
of the Company and shall not be entitled to vote or be deemed the Holder of
Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be
issuable on the exercise hereof, nor shall anything contained herein be
construed to confer upon the Holder of this Warrant, as such, the rights of a
shareholder of the Company or the right to vote for the election of directors or
upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any
29
30
meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate section (except
as provided herein) or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting
shareholders (except as provided herein), or to receive dividends or
subscription rights or otherwise (except as provided herein), until the date of
exercise of this Warrant shall have occurred.
SECTION 9.0 Registration Rights. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the
Holder shall have and be entitled to exercise, together with all other holders
of Common Stock possessing registration rights under the Loan Agreement, the
rights of registration granted under the Loan Agreement with respect to the
shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant.
SECTION 10.0. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon
reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and
upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will
make and deliver a new warrant of like tenor and date, in lieu of this Warrant.
SECTION 11.0. Transfer and Exchange of Warrant. This Warrant and all
rights hereunder are transferable at the office or agency of the Company by the
registered Holder hereof in person or by a duly authorized attorney, upon
surrender of this Warrant together with a properly endorsed assignment in the
form attached hereto as Schedule II. The Company shall be entitled to receive,
as a condition to any transfer of this Warrant, an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company that such transfer does not violate the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state
securities laws. Until transfer hereof on the registration books of the Company,
the Company may treat the registered Holder as the owner hereof for all
purposes. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by Holder, at
the principal offices of the Company, together with a properly endorsed
assignment in the form attached hereto as Schedule II, for new warrants, in such
denominations as Holder shall designate at the time of surrender for exchange,
of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for
and purchase the number of shares which may be subscribed for and purchased
hereunder, each of such new warrants to represent the right to subscribe for and
purchase not less than one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of Common Stock
(except to the extent necessary to round out the balance of the number of
shares).
SECTION 12.0. Investment Intent. Contemporaneously with the original
issuance of this Warrant to the Holder hereof, the Holder has executed and
delivered to the Company an investment representation letter (in the form of
Schedule III hereto) regarding the Holder's investment intent and imposing a
requirement that any transferee of this Warrant execute and deliver to the
Company a representation letter in form and substance similar to the contents of
such letter.
SECTION 13.0. Communications and Notices. All communications and
notices hereunder must be in writing, either delivered in hand or sent by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, or sent by confirmed facsimile and, if to the
Company, shall be addressed to it at the address set forth on the first page
hereof, Attention: Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, or at such other address as the Company may
hereafter designate in writing by notice to the registered Holder of this
Warrant,
30
31
and if to such registered Holder, addressed to such Holder at the address of
such Holder as shown on the books of the Company.
SECTION 14.0. Sundays, Holidays, Etc. If the last or appointed day for
the taking of any action required or the expiration of any right granted herein
shall be a Sunday, or a Saturday or shall be a legal holiday or a day on which
banking institutions in New York, New York, are authorized or required by law to
remain closed, then such action may be taken or right may be exercised on the
next succeeding day which is not a Sunday, a Saturday or a legal holiday and not
a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York, are authorized or
required by law to remain closed.
SECTION 15.0. Remedies. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law
of the Holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default
by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this
Warrant are not and will not be adequate, and that such terms may be
specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement
contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms
hereof or otherwise.
SECTION 16.0. Miscellaneous. This Warrant shall be binding upon the
Company's successors. In case any provision of this Warrant shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, or partially invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
provision shall be unenforced to the extent, if any, that it may legally be
enforced, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Warrant
and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by a
statement in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such
change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The five (5) year term of
this Warrant shall be stayed during any bankruptcy proceedings involving the
Company. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and
shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. This Warrant shall
take effect as an instrument under seal.
SECTION 17.0. GOVERNING LAW. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES.
SECTION 18.0 Conflict. In the event of a conflict of the terms and

and conditions of this Warrant shall prevail.
