3. DISTRIBUTIONS AND
ADJUSTMENTS
The
number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant
Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in
this Section 3.
3.1 Distribution of Assets or
Securities. If the Company makes a distribution (a “Distribution”) to its
stockholders (other than in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company) of any asset (including cash) or security (the total
of the assets or securities so distributed, the “Distribution Amount”)
other than those referred to in Section 3.2,
then, the Holder shall have the right to receive the portion of the Distribution
Amount which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the Distribution would have owned or
received immediately after and as a result of such Distribution. Upon
the closing of the Distribution, the Company shall distribute such portion of
the Distribution Amount to the Holder.
3.2 Reorganization,
Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of
Assets.
(a) If
at any time the Company reorganizes its capital, reclassifies its capital stock,
consolidates, merges or combines with or into another Person (where the Company
is not the surviving corporation or where there is any change whatsoever in, or
distribution with respect to, the outstanding Common Stock), or the Company
sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its
property, assets or business to another Person (including in connection with a
going private transaction by the Company), other than in a transaction provided
for in Section 3.3,
and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, combination, sale, transfer or other disposition of
assets, (i) shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring Person or
of the Company (if it is the surviving corporation) or (ii) any cash,
shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever
(including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or
in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring Person or the Company
(“Other
Property”) are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common
Stock who are holders immediately prior to such transaction, then the Holder
shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the
number of shares of Common Stock, common stock of the successor or acquiring
Person and/or Other Property which a holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event
would have owned or received immediately after and as a result of such
event.
4
(b) In
case of any such event described in Section 3.2(a),
the successor or acquiring Person (if other than the Company) shall expressly
assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every
covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the
Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such
modifications as the Holder may approve in writing (and memorialized by
resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for
adjustments of any shares of common stock of such successor or acquiring Person
for which this Warrant thus becomes exercisable, which modifications shall be as
equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3.2. For
purposes of this Section 3,
“common stock of the successor or acquiring Person” shall include stock or other
equity securities, or securities that are exercisable or exchangeable for or
convertible into equity securities, of such corporation, or other securities if
such Person is not a corporation, of any class that is not preferred as to
dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation or Person
and that is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of
indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities that are convertible into or
exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a
specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other
rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.2
shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications,
consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers and other dispositions of
assets.
3.3 Dissolution, Total
Liquidation or Winding-Up. If at any time there is a voluntary
or involuntary dissolution, total liquidation or winding-up of the Company,
other than as contemplated by Section 3.2,
then the Company shall cause to be mailed (by registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s address
as shown on the Warrant register, at the earliest practicable time (and, in any
event, not less than thirty (30) days before any date set for definitive
action) written notice of the date on which such dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up shall take place, as the case may be. Such notice shall
also specify the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock
shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities, money or other
property deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the
case may be. On such date, the Holder shall be entitled to receive
upon surrender of this Warrant the cash or other property, less the Warrant
Purchase Price for this Warrant then in effect, that the Holder would have been
entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised and all Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise hereof have been issued immediately prior to such
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Upon receipt of the cash or other
property, any and all rights of the Holder to exercise this Warrant shall
terminate in their entirety. If the cash or other property
distributable in the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up has a fair market
value which is less than the Warrant Purchase Price for this Warrant then in
effect, this Warrant shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon
the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
5
3.4 Split, Reverse Split and
Additional Securities Issuances. In the event that the Company
completes a stock split, stock dividend or reverse stock split, or otherwise
issues any additional securities or repurchases any outstanding securities, the
number of Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall
account for such additional securities or repurchase, and the aggregate Warrant
Purchase Price shall remain unchanged.
3.5 [Reserved].
3.6 Other Dilutive
Events. If any event occurs as to which the other provisions
of this Section 3 are
not strictly applicable but as to which the failure to make any adjustment or
distribution would not protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant
in accordance with the intent and principles hereof, then, in each such case and
unless the Company and the Holder agree on the appropriate adjustment, the
Holder may appoint on behalf of the Company an investment banking or accounting
firm of recognized national or regional standing which shall give its opinion as
to the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the intent and principles
established herein, necessary to preserve the purchase rights represented by the
Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will mail (by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid) a copy
thereof to the Holder within three (3) Business Days and shall make the
adjustments and distributions described therein. To the extent that
such investment banking or accounting firm agrees with the adjustment as
proposed by the Company to such firm at the time such firm is engaged, the
Holder shall bear the fees and expenses of such firm; otherwise, the fees and
expenses of such firm shall be borne by the Company.
3.7 Other Provisions Applicable
to Distributions and Adjustments. The following provisions
shall be applicable to the distributions and adjustments provided for pursuant
to this Section 3:
(a) The
distributions and adjustments required by this Section 3 shall
be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring such a
distribution or adjustment shall occur. For the purpose of any such
distribution or adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred
at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(b) Whenever
the number of shares or type of Securities or Other Property for which this
Warrant is exercisable or the Warrant Purchase Price shall be adjusted or
recalculated pursuant to this Section 3, the
Company shall immediately, but in no event in more than two (2) Business
Days after the event giving rise to the adjustment or recalculation, prepare a
certificate to be executed by the chief financial officer of the Company setting
forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment or recalculation
and the method by which such adjustment or recalculation was calculated,
specifying the number of shares and type of Securities or Other Property for
which this Warrant is exercisable, and any related change in the Warrant
Purchase Price, after giving effect to such adjustment, recalculation or
change. The Company shall deliver to the Holder (in accordance with
the provisions of Section 4.8) a
signed copy of the certificate within five (5) Business Days of the event
which caused the adjustment or recalculation. The Company shall keep
at the Designated Office copies of all such certificates and cause them to be
available for inspection at the Designated Office during normal business hours
by the Holder or any prospective transferee of this Warrant designated by the
Holder.
6
(c) Except
as otherwise provided herein, all subsections of this Section 3 are
intended to operate independently of one another (but without
duplication). If an event occurs that requires the application of
more than one subsection, all applicable subsections shall be given independent
effect without duplication.
(d) Notwithstanding
any adjustment required by this Section 3, in no
event shall the Warrant Purchase Price be less than the par value of the Common
Stock.
4. MISCELLANEOUS
4.1 Restrictive
Legend. This Warrant, any Warrant issued upon transfer of this
Warrant and, unless registered under the Securities Act, any Warrant Shares
issued upon exercise of this Warrant or any portion thereof, shall be imprinted
with the following legend, in addition to any legend required under applicable
state securities laws:
THIS

Upon
request of the holder of a Common Stock certificate, the Company shall issue to
that holder a new certificate free of the foregoing legend, if, with such

reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the securities evidenced
by such certificate may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 (or any other
rule permitting resales of securities without restriction) promulgated under the
Securities Act.
4.2 Holder Entitled to Benefits
Under Other Agreements. The Holder of this Warrant (or, if the
Warrant has been divided up, the Holders) is entitled to certain rights,

Securities” thereunder), and certain other Investment
Documents.
7
4.3 Other

will perform all of the following covenants for the express benefit of the
Holder: (a) the Warrant Shares shall, upon payment therefore and
issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Common Stock; (b) each Holder shall, upon the exercise thereof in

thereof except as otherwise provided in the Investment Documents; (c) at
all times prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall have reserved for
issuance a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock,
or other securities or property for which this Warrant may then be exercisable,
to permit this Warrant (or if this Warrant has been divided, all outstanding
Warrants) to be exercised in full; (d) the Company shall deliver to each
Holder the information and reports described in Section 9.4 of
the Securities Purchase Agreement as contemplated therein; (e) the Company

against the transfer of this Warrant or of any Warrant Shares in any manner
which interferes with the timely exercise hereof.

other matter, (b) the right to receive dividends, except as set forth in
Section 3
or (c) any other rights as a stockholder of the Company, except as set
forth in Section 3 and in
the other Investment Documents. No provisions hereof, in the absence

mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give
rise to any liability of the Holder for the Warrant Purchase Price or as a
stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or
by its creditors.

consent may be withheld for any reason or no reason at all). Subject
to the requirements of Applicable Laws, the Holder may assign this Warrant and
its rights hereunder, and delegate its obligations under this Warrant, in whole
or in part, at any time or from time to time, without the consent of the
Company. Each such assignment of this Warrant, in whole or in part,

within three (3) Business Days of surrender, execute and deliver a new Warrant
or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees specified in such
assignment and in the denominations specified therein and this Warrant shall
promptly be canceled. If any portion of this Warrant is not being
assigned, the Company shall, at its own expense, within three (3) Business Days
thereafter issue to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the portion not so
assigned. If the Holder assigns this Warrant to one or more Persons,
any decisions that the Holder is entitled to make at any time hereunder shall be
made by the Holders holding an aggregate of more than fifty percent (50%) of the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of all of the then-exercisable
Warrants.
(b) This
Warrant shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the
Holder and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and shall include,
with respect to the Company, any Person succeeding the Company by merger,
consolidation, combination or acquisition of all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets, and in such case, except as expressly provided herein and in
the Securities Purchase Agreement, all of the obligations of the Company
hereunder shall survive such merger, consolidation, combination or
acquisition.

unless otherwise stated. No party, nor its counsel, shall be deemed
the drafter of this Warrant for purposes of construing the provisions of this
Warrant, and all provisions of this Warrant shall be construed in accordance
with their fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any party.
4.11 Lost Warrant or
Certificates. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or
of a stock certificate evidencing Warrant Shares and, in the case of any such
loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant or stock certificate, the Company shall make and
deliver to the Holder, within three (3) Business Days of receipt by the
Company of such documentation, a new Warrant or stock certificate, of like
tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock
certificate.

4.12 No
Impairment. The Company shall not by any action, including,
without limitation, amending its charter documents or regulations or through any
reorganization, reclassification, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms
and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value (if
any) of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant
above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such
increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order that the Company may, at any time and from time to time,
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of this Warrant, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances,
equities and claims, and (iii) use its best efforts to obtain all such
authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having
jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its
obligations under this Warrant.

CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
4.14 Remedies. If
the Company fails to perform, comply with or observe any covenant or agreement
to be performed, complied with or observed by it under this Warrant, the Holder
may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity or action at
law, whether for specific performance of any term contained in this Warrant or
for an injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise
of any power granted in this Warrant or to enforce any other legal or equitable
right, or to take any one or more of such actions. The Company hereby
agrees that the Holder shall not be required or otherwise obligated to, and
hereby waives any right to demand that the Holder, post any performance or other
bond in connection with the enforcement of its rights and remedies
hereunder. The Company agrees to pay all fees, costs, and expenses,

accountants and other experts retained by the Holder, and all fees, costs and
expenses of appeals, incurred or expended by the Holder in connection with the
enforcement of this Warrant or the collection of any sums due hereunder, whether
or not suit is commenced. None of the rights, powers or remedies
conferred under this Warrant shall be mutually exclusive, and each right, power
or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right, power or
remedy whether conferred by this Warrant or now or hereafter available at law,
