2. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PURCHASER. The Purchaser hereby
represents and warrants to the Seller as follows:
2.1 The Purchaser is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of Delaware, and has full legal right, power
and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform this
Agreement and the Warrant, and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. The Purchaser has taken all
corporate action necessary for the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Warrant, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. Each of this Agreement and the
Warrant has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser and is
enforceable with respect to the Purchaser in accordance with its
terms, except (a) as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, priority or other laws or court decisions relating to or
affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights or
affecting generally the availability of equitable remedies and (b)
to the extent the indemnification provisions contained herein may be
limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.
2.2 The Purchaser Common Stock that is being issued to the Seller
hereunder and the Warrant Shares, when issued, sold and delivered in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the consideration
expressed herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
2.3 The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement and
the Warrant, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, do not and shall not with or without the giving
of notice or the passage of time, violate, conflict with, or result
in a breach of, or a default or loss of rights under, any material
covenant, agreement, mortgage, indenture, lease or instrument to
which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser or any of
its assets is bound or any judgment, order, decree, law, rule or
regulation to which the Purchaser or any of its assets is subject.
2.4 If, within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date hereof, the
Purchaser purchases or commits to purchase shares of common stock or
preferred stock of NetSat from a third party on terms materially
more favorable to such third party than the terms provided herein to
the Seller, the Purchaser shall provide notice of such transaction
to the Seller within fifteen (15) days of the close of such
transaction. Within a reasonable period of time of the provision of
such notice, the Purchaser shall take action to put the Seller in
the same economic position the Seller would have been in had the
Seller sold the Shares under the same terms as the aforementioned
third party, giving effect to any difference in the aggregate number
of shares of NetSat sold by the Seller and such third party.
2
2.5 As of their respective filing dates, the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, its quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarters ended September 30,
2000 and December 31, 2000 and its proxy statement to stockholders
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on
October 13, 2000 did not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER. The Seller hereby represents
and warrants to the Purchaser as follows:
3.1 The Seller has full legal right, power and authority to enter into,
execute, deliver and perform this Agreement. This Agreement has been
duly executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Seller and is enforceable with respect to
the Seller in accordance with its terms, except (a) as enforcement
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, priority or other laws or
court decisions relating to or affecting generally the enforcement
of creditors' rights or affecting generally the availability of
equitable remedies and (b) to the extent the indemnification
provisions contained herein may be limited by applicable federal or
state securities laws.
3.2 The Seller is the lawful holder of record and beneficial owner of
that number of Shares set forth opposite the Seller's name in
Schedule I hereto, free and clear of any and all pledges, security
interests, liens or other encumbrances. The delivery by the Seller
of certificates or instruments and agreements evidencing the Shares,
duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by stock transfer powers
duly endorsed in blank, to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 1
above, against payment as provided in Section 1 above, will transfer
valid title to the Shares to the Purchaser, free and clear of any
and all pledges, security interests, liens or other encumbrances.
3.3 The Seller has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive
answers from, officers of the Purchaser with respect to the business
and financial condition of the Purchaser and the terms and
conditions of the sale of the Purchaser Shares and the Warrant and
to obtain additional information necessary to verify such
information.
3.4 The Seller is acquiring the Purchaser Shares and the Warrant for the
Seller's own account for investment purposes only, not as a nominee
or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any
part thereof. The Seller is an "accredited investor" within the
meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Seller further represents
that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation
to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the
Purchaser Shares or the Warrant. In addition to restrictions on
transfer of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares set forth in the
Warrant, the
3
Seller understands that until the Purchaser Shares may be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any
restriction, each certificate or instrument representing the
Purchaser Shares shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against
transfer of the certificates representing the Purchaser Shares):
"THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE
SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR
AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE
ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED."
4. REGISTRATION RIGHTS OF THE PURCHASER SHARES.
4.1 Registration Procedures. Purchaser will:
(a) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC the
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration
Statement") relating to the sale of the Purchaser Shares and
the Warrant Shares by the Seller, and the shares of Common
Stock of the Purchaser issued to Globix Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("Globix"), and Reuters Holdings
Switzerland SA, an organization formed under the laws of
Switzerland ("Reuters"), in connection with the sale of
their shares of NetSat common stock to the Purchaser,
including any shares of Common Stock of the Purchaser
underlying any warrants issued in connection therewith (the
"Additional Shares") from time to time on the Nasdaq
National Market or the facilities of any national securities
exchange on which the Purchaser Common Stock is then traded
or in privately-negotiated transactions, as soon as
practicable from the date hereof, but in any event within
the later to occur of (i) the date sixty (60) days from the
date hereof or (b) the date the Purchaser shall have
received the information contained on the certificate from
the Seller as set forth in Section 4.1(g) below;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to cause
the Registration Statement to become and remain effective
for two years after the effective date of the Registration
Statement, provided that if, during the period the
Registration Statement is required to be kept effective, the
Purchaser delivers a certificate, stating that, in the good
faith, reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Purchaser, it would be seriously detrimental to the
Purchaser and its
4
stockholders for the Registration Statement to be kept
effective during a specified period of time not to exceed
thirty (30) days (the "Blackout Period"), then the Purchaser
shall not be obligated to keep the Registration Statement
effective, and the Seller shall not sell any of its
Purchaser Shares or Warrant Shares covered by the
Registration Statement, during such Blackout Period
(provided, however, the Seller shall be permitted to sell
its Purchaser Shares and Warrant Shares during such Blackout
Period pursuant to an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws). After the termination of such Blackout
Period, the Purchaser shall file an amendment to the
Registration Statement or a new registration statement with
respect to the unsold portion of the Purchaser Shares,
Warrant Shares and Additional Shares included in the
original Registration Statement and shall keep such
amendment or new registration statement effective for a
period of two years less the number of days the original
Registration Statement was kept effective;
(c) furnish to the Seller with respect to the Purchaser Shares
and Warrant Shares registered under the Registration
Statement such reasonable number of copies of prospectuses
and such other documents as the Seller may reasonably
request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other
disposition of all or any of the Purchaser Shares and
Warrant Shares by the Seller; provided, however, that the
obligation of the Purchaser to deliver copies of
prospectuses to the Seller shall be subject to the receipt
by the Purchaser of reasonable assurances from the Seller
that the Seller will comply with the applicable provisions
of the Securities Act and of such other securities or blue
sky laws as may be applicable in connection with any use of
such prospectuses;
(d) file documents required of the Purchaser for normal Blue Sky
clearance in states specified in writing by the Seller;
provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be required
to qualify to do business or consent to service of process
in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or
has not so consented;
(e) prepare and promptly file with the SEC and promptly notify
the Seller of the filing of such amendment or supplement to
the Registration Statement or prospectus as may be necessary
to correct any statements or omissions if, at the time when
a prospectus relating to such securities is required to be
delivered under the Securities Act, any event shall have
occurred as the result of which any such prospectus or any
other prospectus as then in effect would include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading;
(f) advise the Seller promptly after it shall receive notice of
the issuance of any stop order by the SEC suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration
5
Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for that purpose, and promptly use its commercially
reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order
or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be
issued;
(g) in connection with the Registration Statement, the Seller
will furnish to Purchaser in writing such information with
respect to itself and the proposed distribution as is
contained on the certificate attached hereto as Exhibit C;
and
(h) if the Registration Statement is not declared effective
within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date hereof,
then the one hundred twenty (120) day time period specified
in Section 2.4 herein shall be extended until such date as
the Registration Statement is declared effective.
4.2 Expenses. The Seller, Globix and Reuters shall bear all reasonable
expenses pro rata in connection with the procedures in Section 4.1
and the registration of the Purchaser Shares, the Warrant Shares and
the Additional Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement,
including the fees and expenses of counsel or other advisers to the
Purchaser. In the event any other holders of the Purchaser's capital
stock shall have their shares registered on the Registration
Statement pursuant to the exercise of "piggyback" or other
registration rights, they shall be required to pay their portion of
the expenses incurred in connection with the registration of such
shares.
4.3 Transfer of the Purchaser Shares and Warrant Shares after
Registration. The Seller agrees that it will not effect any
disposition of the Purchaser Shares or Warrant Shares or its right
to purchase the Purchaser Shares or Warrant Shares that would
constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act, except
as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section
4.1 or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements
under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and
that it will promptly notify the Purchaser of any changes in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the
Seller or its plan of distribution.
4.4 Indemnification.
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Purchaser will indemnify and
hold harmless the Seller and each person, if any, who controls the
Seller within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities
Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), against any losses,
claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may
become subject under the Securities Act, or the 1934 Act, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following
statements, omissions or violations (collectively a
6
"Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or
supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by
the Purchaser of the Securities Act, the 1934 Act, or any
rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, or
the 1934 Act; and the Purchaser will pay to each such Seller
or controlling person, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating
or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or
action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this subsection 4.4(a) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action if such settlement is effected without
the consent of the Purchaser (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Purchaser be liable in
any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability,
or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based
upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished expressly for
use in connection with the registration by the Seller or
controlling person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Seller will indemnify
and hold harmless the Purchaser, each of its directors, each
of its officers who has signed the registration statement,
each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the 1934 Act, any other
security holder selling securities in the Registration
Statement and any controlling person of any other security
holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
(joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may
become subject, under the Securities Act, or the 1934 Act,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon
any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the
extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon written
information furnished by and concerning the Seller expressly
for use in connection with such registration; and the Seller
will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this
subsection 4.4(b), in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or
action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this subsection 4.4(b) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action if such settlement is effected without
the consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided further that in no event
shall any indemnity under this subsection 4.4(b) exceed the
gross proceeds from the offering received by the Seller.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 4.4 of notice of the commencement of any action
(including any governmental
7
action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under
this Section 4.4, deliver to the indemnifying party a
written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in,
and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed,
to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an
indemnified party (together with all other indemnified
parties which may be represented without conflict by one
counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate
counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the
indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified
party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such indemnified party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure
to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if
prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 4.4, but the omission
so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will
not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 4.4.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.4 is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable
to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability,
claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified
party on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim,
damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party
and of the indemnified party shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information,
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.
(e) The obligations of the Purchaser and the Seller under this
Section 4.4 shall survive the completion of any offering of
Purchaser Shares or Warrant Shares in a registration
statement under this Section 4.4, and otherwise.
4.5 Form S-3 Eligibility. The Purchaser is eligible to use Form S-3 for
registration under the Securities Act, and shall use its reasonable
best efforts to remain so eligible during the period of time in
which the Registration Statement is required
8
to be kept effective pursuant to Section 4.1(b) hereof. The
Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to file any form,
report or other document with the Nasdaq National Market to ensure
that the Purchaser Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Additional
Shares are admitted for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market.
5. CONDITIONS OF THE PURCHASER'S OBLIGATIONS AT CLOSING. The obligations of
the Purchaser under Section 1 of this Agreement are subject to the
fulfillment on or before the Closing of each of the following conditions:

WARRANT FOR COMMON STOCK
This certifies that Xxxxxx Xxxxx whose address is 000 0xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx,
XX 00000 (the "Holder") is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, subject to
Section 1.4 below, during the period commencing on the date hereof, and ending
at 5:00 P.M., New York local time, on March 30, 2006, TWO HUNDRED SIXTY TWO
THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED ONE (262,501) shares of fully paid and nonassessable
Common Stock, $.001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), of Globecomm Systems
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). The purchase price of each such
share shall be the amount set forth in Section 1.3 herein (the "Warrant Price").
This Warrant shall not be assignable except to affiliates of Holder, and shall
only be exercisable, by the Holder or affiliates thereof.
1. EXERCISE; PAYMENT
1.1 Payment. The purchase rights under this Warrant may be exercised by
Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Company located at 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (by
personal delivery or facsimilie to the Chief Financial Officer), and by the
payment to the Company, by wire transfer or by certified, cashier's or other
check acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the aggregate Warrant
Price of the shares being purchased.
1.2 Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to
Section 1.1, Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this
Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at
the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in
which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X = Y (W-Z)
--------
W
13
Where:
X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder;
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant
(at the date of such calculation);
W = the fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock (at
the date of such calculation); and
Z = Warrant Price, as set forth in Section 1.4 herein (as adjusted to the
date of such calculation as provided in Section 3 herein).
Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 1, "fair market value" of
one share of the Company's Common Stock shall mean the average of the closing
sale prices of such share as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq
system, or any other nationally recognized exchange or quotation system on which
the Common Stock is listed as published in The Wall Street Journal for the ten
(10) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value. If
the Common Stock is not traded on the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq system
or any other nationally recognized exchange or quotation system, fair market
value of the Common Stock per share shall be the price per share which the
Company's Board of Directors shall determine in good faith.
1.3 Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights to
acquire Common Stock granted under this Warrant, certificates for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased shall be delivered to Holder within a reasonable time
and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant
representing the shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been
exercised shall also be issued to Holder within such time.
1.4 Warrant Price. The purchase price for the shares of Common Stock to be
issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be $11.375 per share, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 3 herein (the "Warrant Price").
2. STOCK FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES
The Company covenants and agrees that all securities which may be issued
upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance,
be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with

The Company covenants and agrees that none of the shares of Common Stock which
may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be in violation

3. ADJUSTMENT
The kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the
number of shares under this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:
3.1 Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In case of: (i) any
reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant; (ii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the
Company is a continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification, change or exchange of outstanding securities issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant); or (iii) any sale or transfer to another corporation
of all, or substantially all, of the property of the Company, then, and in each
such event, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case
may be, shall execute a new Warrant which will provide that Holder shall have
the right to exercise such new Warrant and purchase upon such exercise, in lieu
of each share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, the kind of securities, money and property receivable upon such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant had this Warrant been
considered exercised immediately prior to such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such new Warrant shall provide for
adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided in this Section 3, and the provisions of this Section 3 and
the provisions of this Section 3.1 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers.
3.2 Subdivisions or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while
this Warrant remains outstanding and unexercised, in whole or in part, (i) shall
divide its Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately reduced and
the number of shares under this Warrant shall be proportionately increased; or
(ii) shall combine shares of its Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be
proportionately increased and the number of shares under this Warrant shall be
proportionately reduced.
3.3 Stock Dividends. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend payable in, or make any other
distribution to shareholders of, its Common Stock (except any distribution
described in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof), then and in each case, this Warrant
shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the
security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any
additional consideration therefor, the amount of such additional stock of the
Company which such holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been
the holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on
the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to
and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other
additional stock available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect
to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this
Section 3.
3.4 Time of Adjustments. All adjustments, unless otherwise specified
herein, shall be effective as of the earlier of:
3.4.1 the date of issuance of the security causing the adjustment;
16
3.4.2 the effective date of a division or combination of shares;
3.4.3 the record date of any action of holders of the Company's
capital stock of any class taken for the purpose of dividing or
combining shares or entitling holders of Common Stock to receive a
distribution or dividends payable in the Company's capital stock.
3.5 Notice of Adjustments. In each case of an adjustment, the Company, at
its expense, shall cause the Chief Financial Officer (or other such similar
officer) of the Company to compute such adjustments and prepare a certificate
setting forth such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment is based. The Company shall promptly mail a copy of each such
certificate to Holder pursuant to Section 13 hereof.
4. FRACTIONAL SHARES
No fractional share of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any
exercise hereof, but in lieu of a fractional share upon complete exercise
hereof, Holder may purchase a whole share at the then effective Warrant Price.
5. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS
Holder shall not, solely by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a
shareholder of the Company. Holder shall have all rights of a shareholder with
respect to securities purchased upon exercise hereof at the time the exercise
price for such securities is delivered pursuant to Section l hereof and this
Warrant is surrendered.
6. NO TRANSFER; EXCHANGE
6.1 Transfer. This Warrant shall not be transferable by the Holder except
to affiliates thereof.
6.2 Securities Laws. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act") and qualification under applicable state securities laws,
covering the disposition of Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise
hereof, Holder will not sell or transfer any or all of such Common Stock, except
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities
Act and any applicable state securities laws or without first providing the
Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company and its
counsel to the effect that such sale or transfer will be exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws, and Holder consents to the Company making a notation on its records in
order to implement such restriction on transferability.
6.3 Exchange. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the
Company for Warrants to purchase the same aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable hereunder, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase
such number of shares as Holder shall designate at the time of such exchange.
16
7. LOSS OR MUTILATION
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the ownership
of, and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of, this Warrant and (in the
case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to it, and (in the
case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will
execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant.
8. GOVERNING LAWS
The internal laws of the State of New York (irrespective of its choice of
law principles) shall govern the validity of this Warrant, the construction of
its terms, and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of
the parties hereto.
9. BINDING UPON SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
Subject to, and unless otherwise provided in, this Warrant, each and all of
the covenants, terms, provisions, and agreements contained herein shall be
binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the permitted successors, executors,
heirs, representatives, administrators and assigns of the parties hereto.
10. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this Warrant, or the application hereof, shall for any
reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this
Warrant and application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances
shall be interpreted so as best to reasonably effect the intent of the parties
hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable
provisions of this Warrant with valid or enforceable provisions which will
achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of
the void or unenforceable provisions.
11. AMENDMENT
This Warrant may be amended upon the written consent of the Company and the
Holder.
12. NO WAIVER
The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions hereof shall not
be construed to be a waiver of the right of such party thereafter to enforce
such provisions.
13. NOTICES
Whenever any party hereto desires or is required to give any notice,
demand, or request with respect to this Warrant, all notices required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given
