indirectly, in the United States or to, or for the account of, any U.S. person
except in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.
b) As to the Company, the Notes and Warrants are intended to be obligations
that are not required to be in registered form for purposes of United States
federal tax laws and the principal (to the extent characterized as original
issue discount) and interest payable on the Notes are intended to be "portfolio
interest" under Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the United States Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 as amended (the "Code"). Accordingly, the Notes and the Warrants
may not, as part of any part of the initial distribution, be offered for sale or
resale, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, to a person in the United
States or to a United States person. Banca del Gottardo (i) agrees and
represents that no Notes or Warrants will be offered, sold or delivered to or on
behalf of a person within the United States or a United States person, (ii)
represents and agrees that (a) it will not offer or sell, and, during the period
beginning on the earlier of the first date that the Notes and Warrants are
offered or the date on which the Notes are issued and ending on the date forty
(40) days after the later of the date upon which the Notes and Warrants were
first offered or the date of closing of this offering (the "Restricted Period"),
it will not offer or sell, Notes or Warrants to a person who is within the
United States or to a United States person, (b) it has not delivered and will
not deliver within the United States definitive Notes or coupons or definitive
Warrants that are sold during the Restricted Period, (c) it has and throughout
the Restricted Period will have in effect procedures reasonably designed to
ensure that its employees or agents who are directly engaged in selling Notes or
Warrants are aware that such Notes or Warrants may not be offered or sold during
the Restricted Period to a person who is within the United States or to a United
States person and (d) it has not entered and will not enter into any contractual
arrangement with respect to the distribution and delivery of the Notes and the
Warrants, except with its affiliates or with the prior written consent of the
Company, (iii) represents and agrees with respect to each affiliate that
acquires from it Notes or Warrants for the purpose of offering or selling such
Notes or Warrants during the Restricted Period, repeating and confirming the
representations and agreements contained in clauses (ii) (a), (b), (c) and (d)
on each such affiliate's behalf and (iv) represents and agrees that it will not
sell or deliver Notes and Warrants to a holder which is (a) immediately after

made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its

form attached hereto as Annex M within ten business days of the commencement of
the Restricted Period. For purposes of this Agreement, whether an offer, sale or
delivery is made to a person within the United States or to a United States
person will be determined under the rules set out in the Code, and United States
Treasury Regulation Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D). Banca del Gottardo agrees that

Convertible Note (the "Global Note"), without interest coupons, and the Warrants
will be represented initially by a temporary Global Certificate (the "Global
Warrant"), the Global Note and Global Warrant to be deposited by the Company
with Banca del Gottardo, on the Payment Date. The Global Note may be exchanged,
as a whole or in part, for appropriate definitive Notes, in bearer form in the
denominations of USD 5'000.-- with interest coupons (the "coupons") attached,
and the Global Warrant may be exchanged, as a whole or in part, for appropriate
definitive Warrants, in bearer form not earlier than 40 days after the later of

Date, before which time no Notes represented by the Global Note or Warrants
represented by the Global Warrant or interest therein may be offered, sold or
transferred into the United States or to a U.S. person. Such exchange shall be
made upon certification, in the form attached hereto as Annex J-1, that the
beneficial owners of the Notes or Warrants either (i) are not United States
persons or U.S. persons or (ii) are financial institutions (within the meaning
of United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.165-12(c)(1)(v)) located outside
the United States that are not United States persons and have purchased such
Notes or Warrants for resale during the Restricted Period and certify they have
not acquired the Notes or the Warrants for purposes of resale directly or
indirectly to a United States person or to a person within the United States.
Any certificates provided by a clearing organization must be based on statements
provided to it by its members. A beneficial owner of Notes must exchange its
share of the Global Note for definitive Notes before such Notes or interests
therein may be transferred or as regards the Notes before interest payments or
other payments will be made and a beneficial owner of Warrants must exchange its
position of the Global Warrant for definitive Warrants before such Warrants will
be exercised. Banca del Gottardo agrees (i) to furnish to the Company a properly
completed certificate with respect to each Note and Warrant, in the form
attached hereto as Annex J-1 and J-2 (and, in the case of clearing
organizations, required statements of members of the clearing organization), on

the date of delivery by the Company of the Note or Warrant in definitive form,

230.901 through 904 of Title 17 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations
("Regulation S").

coupons issued pursuant to the Offer: (i) "Any United States person who holds

(as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) unless this
Note is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act is available." The sections
referred to in the legend provide that, with certain exceptions, a United States

ANNEX A
TERMS OF THE "CONVERTIBLE NOTES" OF THE COMPANY
(1) Form and Denomination
The Notes are issuable in bearer form in the denominations of USD 5'000.--
nominal amount each, with interest coupons (the "Coupons") attached. The Notes
will be represented initially by a temporary Global Note (the "Global Note"),
without interest coupons, to be deposited by the Company with Banca del Gottardo
on the Payment Date. The Global Note may be exchanged, as a whole or in part,
for appropriate definitive Notes, in bearer form in denominations of USD
5'000.-- with the Coupons attached, not earlier than 40 days after the later of
the date on which the Notes are first offered or the Payment Date. Such exchange
shall be made upon certification that the beneficial owners of the Notes either
(i) are not United States persons or U.S. persons or (ii) are financial
institutions (as defined in United States Treasury Regulation Section
1.165-12(c)(1)(v)) located outside the United States that are not United States
persons and that have purchased such Notes for purposes of resale directly or
indirectly to a United States person or U.S. person within the United States
during the Restricted Period and that certify that they have not acquired the
Notes for purposes of resale directly or indirectly to a United States person or
to a person within the United States. A beneficial owner of Notes must exchange
its share of the Global Note for definitive Notes before such Notes or interests
therein may be transferred or interest payments or other payments in respect of
the Notes will be made.
For purposes hereof, (i) the term "Restricted Period" means the period
beginning on the earlier of the first date that the Notes are offered or the
date on which the Notes are issued (the "Payment Date") and ending on the date
forty (40) days after the later of the date upon which the Notes and Warrants
were first offered or the date of closing of this offering, (ii) the term
"United States" means the United States of America (including the States and the
District of Columbia), its possessions, its territories and other areas subject
to its jurisdiction, (iii) the term "United States person" means a citizen or
resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity
created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political
subdivision thereof, or an estate or trust the income of which is subject to
United States federal income taxation regardless of its source and (iv) the term
"U.S. person" has the meaning set forth in Sections 230.901 through .904 of
Title 17 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations ("Regulation S").
(2) Interest
The Notes bear interest from the Payment Date at the rate of 8% per annum,
payable semi-annually in arrear on May 22 and November 22 of each year until
maturity (the "Coupon Due Dates")
whereby the first payment shall be made on May 22, 1997 in respect of the
period from November 22, 1996 to May 22, 1997. Such interest is payable in
United States Dollars. Each Note will cease to bear interest on the date on
which they become due for redemption or repayment unless payment of principal
and/or premium (if any) is improperly withheld or refused or default is
otherwise made in respect of such payment. In such event, interest will continue
to accrue (as well after as before any judgment) up to but exluding the date on
which payment in full of the principal of such Note is made or (if earlier) the
date on which, payment in full of the principal thereof having been received by
Banca del Gottardo, notice to that effect shall have been given to the holders
of the Notes. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.
(3) Repayment
The Company undertakes to repay the principal amount of the Notes, unless
previously redeemed, without any previous notice on November 22, 2001.
(4) Optional Redemption and Conversion
(a) The Company reserves the right to call all, but not part, of the
outstanding Notes for redemption on February 4, 1997, or thereafter up to
the close of business on October 30, 2001, at a price of 110% of the
principal amount thereof, together with interest accrued to the date of
such redemption provided that the average of the daily closing sales prices
of a Share for a period of 30 consecutive trading days, the last day of
which trading days is not more than 10 days prior to the day upon which the
Company sends a notice to Banca del Gottardo of its intention to redeem the
Notes under this sub-section (a), is at least 200% of the Conversion Price
in effect on such last day (taking into account any retroactive adjustment
not then reflected in the Conversion Price). The closing sales price for
any day shall be the average of the closing prices on the New York Stock
Exchange and if not listed any longer thereon, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices on the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation (NASDAQ). All outstanding Notes will become due 60 days
after receipt of the aforesaid notice of early redemption by Banca del
Gottardo.
As long as the Shares are listed on a stock exchange or exchanges in
the United States of America, reference in this sub-section (a) to the
sales price for any day shall be deemed to refer to the closing price
(regular way) of a Share as reported by the principal stock exchange on
which the Shares are listed for such day. If no such sales price is
reported for one or more trading days, such day or days shall not be deemed
as trading day or days and shall be disregarded in the calculation of the
said 30 trading day period.
(b) Each Noteholder will have the right to require the Company to
redeem any Note or Notes on
November 22, 2000 at a price of 106% of the principal amount thereof,
together with interest accrued to the due date of redemption. This right
will have to be exercised by giving notice and surrendering the Note(s), so
to be redeemed to Banca del Gottardo, Lugano, at any time on or after
September 1, 2000 and prior to September 30, 2000 accompanied by an
irrevocable request for redemption. Notes called for redemption will become
due on November 22, 2000. Notes called for redemption shall cease to bear
interest from the date fixed for such redemption, unless the Company shall
default in providing for the payment of the redemption price. The Notes
must be presented for repayment with all unmatured Coupons attached. An
amount equal to any missing unmatured Coupon shall be deducted from the
amount due on redemption. Such Coupons shall, however, be paid upon
subsequent presentation provided they shall not have become barred pursuant
to Section 11 hereof.
(5) Payments
Payments with respect to the Notes and Coupons shall be made in
dollars of the United States of America against presentation and surrender
of such Notes or Coupons in the manner specified below. Such payments shall
be made without cost to the Noteholders, without any limitations and under
all circumstances notwithstanding any transfer restrictions, regardless of
any bilateral or multilateral payment or clearing agreement in existence
between the United States of America and the Swiss Confederation,
irrespective of the nationality, residence or domicile of any of the
Noteholders and without requiring any affidavit or the fulfillment of any
formalities. The funds required for the payment of principal and interest
shall be made available to Banca del Gottardo in Switzerland as Paying
Agent by the Company prior to each Coupon Due Date. The receipt of the
funds by Banca del Gottardo in Switzerland shall release the Company from
its obligations in respect of the payments due on the respective dates for
principal and interest.
Banca del Gottardo will arrange for payment of such funds as and when
due to the holders of Notes and Coupons. Notes and coupons may be presented
for payment at the principal amount printed on the Notes and the amount of
interest printed on the Coupons only at the offices in Switzerland of Banca
del Gottardo. No payment on the Notes or Coupons will be made by transfer
to an account in, or by mailing to an address in, the United States.
(6) Tax Status
All payments of principal and interest on the Notes and Coupons by the
Company shall be made without deduction for or on account of any present or
future tax, assessment or other governmental charge ("Taxes") imposed upon
such payment by the United States of America or any political subdivision
or taxing authority thereof or therein (the "United States"). If the
Company shall at any time be required by law to withhold any such Taxes,
the Company will pay as additional amounts to
Banca del Gottardo for the account of the holders of Notes and
Coupons, such amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment on each
Note or Coupon, after withholding for or on account of any such Taxes
(including any backup withholding tax or similar charge that may be
required in order for such payment to be made without any certification or
disclosure of the nationality, residence or identity of the beneficial
owner of such Note or Coupon) will not be less than the amount provided in
such Note or Coupon to be then due or payable; provided, however, that the
Company will not be required to pay such additional amounts for or on
account of any such Taxes that are imposed (i) otherwise than by
withholding from a payment on a Note or Coupon, (ii) upon a holder of a
Note or Coupon who is subject to taxation by the United States for any
reason other than such holder's ownership or receipt of payments in respect
of such Note or Coupon, or (iii) on interest or principal received by a
holder of a Note or Coupon which is (a) a "10-per cent. shareholder" of the
Company within the meaning of section 871(h) (3) (B)(a) of the Code, (b) a
bank or an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered
into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, (c) a controlled
foreign corporation which is related to the Company under section 864(d)(4)
of the Code, (d) other than a nonresident individual or a foreign
corporation (as determined under United States tax principles) with respect
to the United States, or (e) a holder whose Note or Coupon is presented for
retirement or redemption, or payment is otherwise made, other than outside
the United States as provided in United States Treasury Regulations. Any
reference in this Note to the payment of principal or interest shall be
deemed to include payment of the additional amounts payable pursuant to the
provisions of this paragraph.
If, as the result of any change in, enactment of, or amendment to any
laws or regulations of the United States or any political subdivision or
taxing authorities thereof affecting taxation, or any change in the
official application of such laws or regulations, or any change in,
execution of or amendment to any treaty or treaties affecting taxation to
which the United States is a party, it is determined by the Company that it
would be required at any time to pay additional amounts pursuant to the
preceding paragraph, the Company is entitled to redeem the Notes, as a
whole but not in part, on giving not more than 60 days' but not less than
30 days' prior notice to Banca del Gottardo, on or after May 22, 1997 at
par.
Notice of redemption shall be given by the Company in writing to Banca
del Gottardo and such notice so given shall constitute good and sufficient
notice and shall be binding upon all holders of the Notes, regardless of
who they may be or where they may be located.
Banca del Gottardo shall as soon as practicable notify the Noteholders
of such redemption in accordance with Section 12 hereof.
The Company has been advised by Banca del Gottardo that pursuant to
the Swiss federal laws at present in force, interest payments on the Notes
are not subject to Swiss withholding tax.
(7) Authorizations
The Company has confirmed to Banca del Gottardo that no authorizations
or approvals are required under the laws of the United States for
performance of its obligations hereunder, except for the registration
requirements provided for herein.

(9) Conversion
Exhibit 1 to Annex H attached to the Agreement dated November 15, 1996
and entered into between the Company and Banca del Gottardo, which is
available for inspection at the Head Office in Lugano of Banca del
Gottardo, as Conversion Agent for the Notes, contains full provisions
relevant to conversion of the Notes into freely transferable Shares of
Common Stock which are duly registered under the 1933 Securities Act. The
following is a summary of such provisions:
The conversion price will be fixed on December 18, 1996 whereby such
conversion price shall be the equivalent of the average of the closing
prices of the shares of Common Stock during the period from November 4 to
December 18, 1996, but shall in any event not be higher than USD 5.00 (Such
price hereinafter called the "Conversion Price").
The holder of 10 Notes or more will be entitled at any time on and
after February 3, 1997 up to the close of business on November 22, 2001,
subject to prior redemption, to convert the Notes, at the principal amount
thereof, into freely transferable and non-restricted (such non-restriction
being subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement under the
U.S. securities laws covering such common stock, if required,) shares of
Common Stock of the Company, at the Conversion Price, subject to adjustment
as described below. No payment or adjustment will be made on conversion of
any Note for interest accrued thereon or dividends on any Common Stock
issued, except that accrued interest will be paid on the conversion of any
Note which has been called for redemption prior to the
conversion date. The Company is not required to issue fractional
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes and, in lieu thereof, will
pay a cash adjustment based upon the market price of the Common Stock on
the last trading day prior to the date of conversion. In the case of Notes
called for redemption, conversion rights will expire at the close of
business on the fifth business day prior to the redemption date. Notes may
be presented for conversion only to an office of Banca del Gottardo outside
the United States and Banca del Gottardo will deliver Common Stock or other
consideration received upon conversion only to an account or address
outside the United States.
The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment in the following events
occurring after December 18, 1996:
- the issuance of stock of the Company as a dividend or
distribution on the Common Stock;
- subdivisions of outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a
greater number of shares;
- combinations of outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares;
- reclassification of the Common Stock into other shares of the
Company's capital stock;
- issuance to all holders of Common Stock of certain rights or
warrants entitling them to subscribe for Common Stock at a
price per share less than the current market price but not for
shares issuable under the Company's stock option and stock
purchase plans; and
- the distribution to all holders of Common Stock of debt
securities or assets of the Company or rights or warrants to
purchase assets or debt securities of the Company (excluding
cash dividends or distributions from retained earnings).
No adjustment in the Conversion Price will be made unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least USD 0.05 in
the Conversion Price then in effect; but any adjustment that would
otherwise be required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into
account in any subsequent adjustment. No adjustment need be made for rights
to purchase Common Stock pursuant to a Company dividend or interest
reinvestment plan. The Company may at any time reduce the Conversion Price
by any amount, provided that the Conversion Price is not less than the par
value of a share of Common Stock. If the Company consolidates or merges
into or transfers or leases all or substantially all of its assets to any
person, or is a party to a merger that reclassifies or changes its
outstanding Common Stock, the Notes will become convertible into the kind
and amount of securities, cash or other assets which the Holders would have
owned immediately after the transaction if the holders had converted the
Notes immediately before the effective date of the transaction.
(10) Events of Default
Subject to the provisions of Xxxxxxx 00, Xxxxx xxx Xxxxxxxx as regards
all Notes or Holders having 10% or more of the aggregate principal amount
of all Notes outstanding shall have the right to declare by notice to the

in the payment of interest on any Note; or
(b) default in the performance or observance in any material respect
of any covenant or agreement of the Company in the Notes if such
default continues for a period of 30 days after notice thereof has
been given to the Company; or
(c) a default shall occur under any evidence of indebtedness for money
borrowed by the Company or under any instrument under which there
may be issued or by which there may be secured or guaranteed any
indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company, which default
involves the failure to pay when due (after any applicable grace
period and subject to any extension or postponement of such
maturity), or results in the acceleration of, indebtedness in an
amount in excess of USD 500'000.-- without such indebtedness
having been discharged or such default or acceleration having been
waived, rescinded or annulled, within a period of 30 days after
notice thereof shall have been given to the Company; or
(d) the entry of a decree or order in respect of the Company in an
involuntary case under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, trustee or other
similar official of the Company or for any substantial part of its
property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its
affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed
and in effect for a period of 45 consecutive days; or

debts as they become due, or shall take any corporate action in
furtherance of any of the foregoing; or

give notice thereof to Banca del Gottardo which shall publish such notice
of default in accordance with Section 12 hereof. Banca del Gottardo shall
in relation to any event of default have no other obligation than the
publication of such event of default.
The principal amount of all Notes declared to be due and payable plus
accrued interest thereon shall become due and payable 15 days after notice
to the Company by Banca del Gottardo or by each Holder of such event of
default; provided, however, that such declaration shall be rescinded if,
within 15 days of such notice, such event of default shall have been
remedied by payment, in the case of a payment default, or in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to Banca del Gottardo.
In the event that a Resolution or Extraordinary Resolution is passed
at a meeting of Holders held pursuant to Section 15, any actions taken
pursuant to this Section 10 by a Holder shall be subject to any previously
taken action pursuant to such Section 15.

legally issuable on such exercise, the Holder shall deposit 2'000 Warrants
or more with the Warrant Agent at its office in Lugano and accompanied by a
written notice (which notice must contain a certification of non-U.S.
beneficial ownership) signed by or on behalf of the Holder to the effect
that such Holder elects to exercise the Warrants and payment of the Warrant
Price (the "Warrant Consideration Amount"). As a further condition
precedent to the exercise of the Warrants, the Holder must pay all stamp,
issue, registration or other taxes and duties arising upon exercise in
Switzerland or payable in any jurisdiction upon the issue or delivery of
Shares, if any, to the exercising Holder or to the order of a person other
than the exercising Holder.
The date on which these conditions precedent to exercise as stated above
have been verified and recognized by the Warrant Agent as being fulfilled
in hereafter called the "Deposit Date". The Common Stock Warrant shall be
treated as exercised at the close of business in New York on the Exercise
Date. The "Exercise Date" for the Warrant means the business days in New
York immediately following the Deposit Date. The "Exercise Date" for the
Common Stock Warrant shall not be later than the Termination Date.
The Company shall not be obligated to issue any fraction of a Share upon
the exercise of any Warrant or make any payment for a fraction of a Share.
If more than one Warrant shall be exercised at one time by the same Holder,
the number of full Shares which shall be issuable upon exercise thereof
shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares issuable
upon the exercise of all the Warrants exercised by such Holder. Any Shares
issued upon the exercise of the Common Stock Warrants shall be delivered in
accordance with the instructions of the Holder.
In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant
certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated
the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a
reasonable time, not exceeding five Business Days after such exercise, and
the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the Holder of the
shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise.
Neither this Warrant nor any Warrant Stock has been registered under the
Securities Act. Accordingly, neither this Warrant nor any Warrant Stock is
transferable except as permitted under various exemptions contained in the
Securities Act, or upon satisfaction of the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
4. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares
The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may
be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully
paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with
respect to issuance. The Company further covenants and agrees that during
the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at
all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon
exercise of the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this
Warrant. If the Warrant Price is at any time less than the par value of the
Warrant Stock or if the Warrant at any time is exercisable by its delivery
alone and without payment of any additional consideration, the Company also
covenants and agrees to cause to be taken such action (whether by
decreasing the par value of the Warrant Stock, the conversion of the
Warrant Stock from par value to no par value, or otherwise) as will permit
the exercise of this Warrant without any
additional payment by the Holder hereof (other than payment of the Warrant
Price, if any, and applicable transfer taxes, if any), and the issuance of
the Warrant Stock, which Warrant Stock, upon such issuance, will be fully
paid and non-assessable.
The Company shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending
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 of this Warrant, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking
if all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the
rights of the Holders hereof against impairment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par
value 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, (b) take all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally
issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear
of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided
herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) 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.
5. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Shares
The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant and the payment of the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation,
Merger or Sale
In case of any recapitalization or reorganization of the Company
or any reclassification or change of outstanding Securities
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to
par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in
case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation
in which the Company is the surviving corporation and which does
not result in any reclassification or change other than a change
in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par
value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination
- of outstanding Securities issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant), or in case of any sale or transfer to another
corporation of the Property of the Company as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety in connection with a liquidation or
dissolution of the Company, the Company or such successor or
purchasing corporation therefor, issue a new Warrant, providing
that the
Holder(s) of this Warrant shall have the right to exercise such
new Warrant and procure upon such exercise in lieu of each share
of Warrant Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant the kind and the highest amount of shares of Stock, other
securities, money and property receivable upon such
recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a Holder of one share
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant had it
been exercised immediately prior to such recapitalization,
reorganization, 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 for in this Section 5. The provisions of
this subsection (a) shall similarly apply to successive
recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications, changes,
consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers.
b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares
If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
shall subdivide or combine any class or classes of its Common, (i)
in case of subdivision of shares, the Warrant Price shall be
proportionately reduced (as at the effective date of such
subdivision of, if the Company shall take a record of Holders of
its Common for the purpose of so subdividing, as at the applicable
record date, whichever is earlier) to reflect the increase in the
total number of shares of Common outstanding as a result of such
subdivision, or (ii) in the case of a combination of shares, the
Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased (as at the
effective date of such combination, or, if the Company shall take
a record of Holders of its Common for the purpose of so combining,
as at the applicable record date, whichever is earlier) to reflect
the reduction in the total number of shares of Common outstanding
as a result of such combination.
c) Certain Dividends and Distributions
If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
shall:
(i) Stock Dividends
Pay a dividend in, or make any other distribution of, shares
of any class or classes of Common, the Warrant Price shall
be adjusted, as at the date the Company shall take a record
of the holders of such class or classes of Common, for the
purpose of receiving such dividend or other distribution (or
if no such record is taken, as at the date of such payment
or other distribution), to that price determined by
multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to
such record date (or if no such record is taken, then
immediately prior to such payment or other distribution), by
a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be the total
number of shares of Common outstanding immediately prior to
such dividend or distribution, and (2) the denominator of
which shall be the total number of shares of Common
outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution
(plus in the event that the Company paid cash for fractional
shares, the number of additional shares which would have
been outstanding had the Corporation issued fractional
shares in connection with said dividends); or
(ii) Liquidating Dividends, etc.
Make a distribution of its Property to the holders of its
Common as a dividend in liquidation or partial liquidation
or by way of return of capital other than as a dividend
payable out of funds legally available for dividends under
the laws of the State of Delaware, the Holder of this
Warrant shall, upon exercise and payment of the Warrant
Price, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of
shares of Warrant Stock receivable thereupon, and without
payment of any additional consideration therefor, a sum
equal to the amount of such Property as would have been
payable to such Holder as owner of that number of shares of
Warrant Stock of the receivable by exercise of this Warrant,
had such Holder been the holder of record of such Warrant
Stock on the record date for such distribution, and an
appropriate provision therefor shall be made a part of any
such distribution.
d) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common
If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
shall issue any Additional Shares of Common (otherwise than as
provided in the foregoing subsections (a) through (c) of this
Section 4), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price then
in effect or less than (i) the Current Market Price then in effect
is such issue is pursuant to a public offering, or (ii)
ninety-five percent (95%) of the Current Market Price then in
effect if such issue is pursuant to a private placement in excess
of USD 3'500'000.-- in the aggregate, or without consideration,
then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted
to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price by a
fraction:
(A) If issued for a consideration per share less than (i) the
Current Market Price then in effect if such issue is
pursuant to a public offering, or (ii) ninety-five percent
(95%) of the Current Market Price then in effect if such
issue is pursuant to a private placement in excess of USD
3'500'000.-- in the aggregate, or for no consideration:
1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common outstanding immediately prior to the
issuance of such Additional Shares of Common plus the
number of shares of Common which the aggregate
consideration for the total
number of such Additional
Shares of Common so issued would purchase at (i) the
Current Market Price then in effect if such issue is
pursuant to a public offering, or (ii) ninety-five
percent (95%) of the Current Market Price then in
effect if such issue is pursuant to a private
placement in excess of USD 3'500'000.- - in the
aggregate, and
2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common outstanding immediately after the issuance
of such Additional Shares of Common.
(B) If issued for a consideration per share of Common less
than the Warrant Price or for no consideration:
1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common outstanding immediately prior to the
issuance of such Additional Shares of Common plus the
number of shares of Common which the aggregate
consideration for the total number of such Additional
Shares of Common so issued would purchase at the
Warrant Price, and
2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common outstanding immediately after the issuance
of such Additional Shares of Common.
If such Additional Shares of Common shall be issued at a price
per share less than both the Warrant Price and the Current Market
Price, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted in the manner provided
in clauses (i) or (ii) of this subsection (d) which will result
in the greater reduction in the amount of the Warrant Price.
The provisions of this subsection (d) shall not apply under any
of the circumstances for which an adjustment is provided in
subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 5. No adjustment of
the Warrant Price shall be made under this subsection (d) upon
the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common which are issued
pursuant to any Common Stock Equivalent if upon the issuance of
such Common Stock Equivalent (1) any adjustment shall have been
made pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 5 or (2) no
adjustment was required pursuant to subsection (e) of this
Section 5.
e) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents
In case the Company shall at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, issue any Common Stock Equivalent and the price per
share of Common for which Additional Shares of Common may be
issuable thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent shall
be less than the Warrant
Price then in effect on the date of issuance of such Common Stock
Equivalent or less than (i) the Current Market Price then in
effect if such issue is pursuant to a public offering, or (ii)
ninety five percent (95%) of the Current Market Price then in
effect if such issue is pursuant to a private placement in excess
of USD 3'500'000.-- in the aggregate, or if, after any such
issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for
which Additional Shares of Common may be issuable thereafter is
amended (other than as a result of the operation of anti-dilution
provisions of or relating to Common Stock Equivalents outstanding
as of the date hereof pursuant to events or circumstances which
would also result in an adjustment in the Warrant Price), and
such price as so amended shall be less than the Warrant Price or
the Current Market Price in effect at the time of such amendment,
then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall
be adjusted as provided in the first sentence of subsection (d)
of this Section 4 on the basis that (1) the maximum number of
Additional Shares of Common issuable pursuant to all such Common
Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to have been issued (whether or
not such Common Stock Equivalents are actually then exercisable,
convertible or exchangeable in whole or in part) as of the
earlier of (A) the date on which the Company shall enter into a
firm contract for the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent,
or (B) the date of actual issuance of such Common Stock
Equivalent, and (2) the aggregate consideration for such maximum
number of Additional Shares of Common shall be deemed to be the
minimum consideration received and receivable by the Company for
the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common pursuant to such
Common Stock Equivalent. No adjustment of the Warrant Price shall
be made under this subsection (e) upon the issuance of any
Convertible Security which is issued pursuant to the exercise of
any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor,
if any adjustment shall previously have been made in the Warrant
Price then in effect upon the issuance of such warrants or other
rights pursuant to this subsection (e).
f) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under this Section A
The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of
adjustments in the Warrant Price hereinbefore provided in this
Section 5:
(i) Computation of Consideration
The consideration received by the Company shall be deemed to
be the following: (a) to the extent that any Additional
Shares of Common or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be
issued for a cash consideration, the consideration received
by the Company therefor, or, (b) if such Additional Shares
of Common or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the
Company for subscription, the subscription price, or, (c) if
such Additional Shares of Common or Common Stock Equivalents
are sold to underwriters or dealers for
public offering without a subscription offering, the initial
public offering price, in any such case excluding any
amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued
dividends and without deduction of any compensation,
discounts, commissions, or expenses paid or incurred by the
Company for or in connection with the underwriting thereof
or otherwise in connection with the issue thereof; (d) to
the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration
other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, the fair market value of such consideration at the
time of such issuance as determined in good faith by the
Board. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common
issuable pursuant to any Common Stock Equivalents shall be
the consideration received by the Corporation for issuing
such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the additional
consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. In
case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of
Common or Common Stock Equivalents in payment or
satisfaction of any dividend upon any class of Stock other
than Common, the Corporation shall be deemed to have
received for such Additional Shares of Common or Common
Stock Equivalents a consideration equal to the mount of such
dividend so paid or satisfied. In any case in which the
consideration to be received or paid shall be other than
cash, the Board shall notify the Holder of this Warrant
through Banca del Gottardo of its determination of the fair
market value of such consideration prior to payment or
accepting receipt thereof. If, within thirty days after
receipt of said notice, the Holders of Warrants exercisable
for at least a majority of Warrant Stock then unissued shall
notify the Board in writing of their objection to such
determination, a determination of fair market value of such
consideration shall be made by arbitration in accordance
with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, by
an arbitrator in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York,
State of New York.
(ii) Readjustment of Warrant Price
Upon the expiration of the right to convert, exchange or
exercise any Common Stock Equivalent the issuance of which
effected an adjustment in the Warrant Price, if such Common
Stock Equivalent shall not have been converted, exercised or
exchanged, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be
issued and outstanding by reason of the fact that they were
issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any such
Common Stock Equivalent shall no longer be computed as set
forth above, and the Warrant Price shall forthwith be
readjusted and thereafter be the price which it would have
been (but reflecting any other adjustments in the Warrant
Price made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5
after the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent) had the
adjustment of the Warrant Price been made in accordance with
the issuance or sale of the number of Additional Shares of
Common actually issued upon conversion, exchange
or issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent and thereupon
only the number of Additional Shares of Common actually so
issued shall be deemed to have been issued and only the
consideration actually received by the Company (computed as
in clause (i) of this subsection (g)) shall be deemed to
have been received by the Company.
(iii) Treasury Shares
The number of shares of Common at any time outstanding shall
not include any shares thereof then directly or indirectly
owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries.
g) Other Action Affecting Common
In case after the date hereof the Company shall take any action
affecting its common, other than an action described in any of the
foregoing subsections (a) through (f) of this Section 5,
inclusive, and the failure to make any adjustment would not
failure protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in
accordance with the essential intent and principle of this Section
5, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at
such time as the Board may in good faith determine to be equitable
in the circumstances.
h) Adjustment of Number of Shares
Upon each adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to any
provision of this Section 5, the number of shares of Warrant Stock
purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole
share, to the product obtained by multiplying such number of
shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the
Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the
denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately
thereafter. If the Company shall be in default under any provision
contained in the last sentence of Section 5 of this Warrant so
that shares issued at the Warrant price adjusted in accordance
with this Section 5 would not be validly issued, the adjustment of
number of shares provided for in the foregoing sentence shall
nonetheless be made and the Holder of this Warrant shall be
entitled to purchase such greater number of shares at the lowest
price at which such shares may then be validly issued under
applicable law. Such exercise shall not constitute a waiver of any
claim arising against the Company by reason of its default under
Section 5 of this Warrant.
i) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary,
neither the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable
hereunder nor the Warrant Price shall be adjusted with respect to
any Common Stock Equivalents issued and outstanding as of the date
of the issuance of this
Warrant, or the issuance of any Securities upon exercise or
conversion of any such Common Stock Equivalent, including,
without limitation, any Securities issued from time to time
pursuant to (i) the exercise of options outstanding as of the
date of issuance of the Warrant and held by present or former
directors, officers or employees of the Company, (ii) the
exercise of the Stock Purchase Warrant, dated July 31, 1992 (the
"Prudential Warrant"), purchased by The Prudential Insurance
Company of America ("Prudential"), (iii) the conversion features
of that certain Amended and Restated 10% Convertible Subordinated
Note Due 1999 issued to X.X. Xxxxxxx Investment L.P. (the
"Xxxxxxx Securities"), (iv) the exercise of the Warrant dated
August 11, 1994 (the "Nomura Warrant") issued to Nomura Holding
Company, Inc. ("Nomura"), (v) the exercise of the Warrants, dated
December 29, 1995 ("Gottardo 1995") issued to Banca del Gottardo,
(vi) the effect of any antidilution provisions contained in the
Prudential Warrant, the Xxxxxxx Securities, the Nomura Warrant
and the Gottardo 1995 Warrants and (vii) the issuance of up to
150'000 stock options per calendar year pursuant to the Company's
stock option or stock purchase plan.
6. Notice of Adjustments
Whenever the Warrant Price or number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 5 hereof,
the Company shall deliver to Banca del Gottardo for certification to the
Holder(s) of the Warrant a certificate (the "Adjustment Certificate")
setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment,
the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was
calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made
any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and number of Warrant
Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and
shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail
postage prepaid) to the Holder(s) of this Warrant promptly after each
adjustment; provided, however, that in the event that any Holder disagrees
with the calculations, amounts or other information with respect to the
adjustments set forth in the Adjustment Certificate, such Holder shall
within 10 Business Days after receipt of such Adjustment Certificate
request that the Company cause the independent accounting firm then
regularly engaged by it to audit its financial statements to propose and
execute and promptly deliver to the Holder(s) a certificate with respect to
each of the items set forth in the Adjustment Certificate. Such
determination as to adjustments of the accounting firm shall be final and
binding in the absence of manifest error.
7. Fractional Shares
No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with any
exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Company shall
cause the payment therefor equal in amount to the product of the applicable
fraction multiplied by the Warrant Price then in effect.

Common Stock on the last trading day prior to the date of conversion.

following business day. At such Conversion Date the rights of the holder
(other than the Company) of a Note shall cease and the Shareholder shall be
deemed to have become the holder of such Shares.
1.5. As soon as practicable on or after the Conversion Date, but in no event

1.8 Notes may be presented for conversion only to an office of the
Conversion Agent outside the United States. The Company and the

received upon conversion only to an account or address outside the
United States.
Article 2
The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustments in the following
circumstances occurring after November 22, 1996:
2.1. In case the Company shall hereafter (i) pay a dividend on its Common
Stock in shares of its Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of
its Common Stock with respect to its outstanding Common Stock, (ii)
subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares of Common Stock or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion
Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of
the effective date of such subdivision or combination shall be determined
by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
record date or effective date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately
prior to such record date or effective date, and the denominator of which
shall be the total number of outstanding Common Stock immediately
following such record date or effective date. Such adjustments made
pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be made successively whenever any
event listed above shall occur.
2.2. In case the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights,
options or warrants to all (but not less than all) holders of its
outstanding Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into shares of Common
Stock) at a price per share (or having a Conversion Price per share, if a
security convertible into Common Stock) less than the Current Market
Price per share of Common Stock (as defined in Section 2.4) on such
record date, the Conversion Price to be in effect after such record date
shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, of 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 of Common Stock so
to be offered (or the aggregate initial Conversion Price of the
convertible securities so 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 (or into which the convertible security so to be offered are
initially convertible). In case such subscription or exercise price may
be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form
other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. Shares of Common
Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company or any
majority-owned subsidiary shall not be deemed outstanding for the
purpose of any such computation. 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.
2.3. In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a
distribution to all (but not less than all) holders of shares of Common
Stock of evidences of its indebtedness or assets (other than cash
dividends or cash distributions payable out of surplus legally available
for dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the
Company, dividends or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock as
described in Section 2.1, or rights, options or warrants or convertible
securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock (ex cluding those referred to in Section 2.2)), the
Conversion Price to be in effect after such record date shall be
determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be
the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock (as defined in Section
2.4) on such record date, less the fair market value per share (as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination
shall be conclusive, and described in a statement filed with Banca del
Gottardo) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so to
be distributed, or of such rights, options, or warrants or convertible
securities, 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 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. If any
such rights, options, or warrants or convertible securities shall by
their terms provide for an increase or increases, with the passage of
time, in the amount of additional consideration per share of Common Stock
payable to the Company upon the exercise or conversion thereof, the
Conversion Price then in effect shall, forthwith upon any such increase
becoming effective, be readjusted to reflect such increase.
2.4. For the purpose of any computation under Sections 2.2 and 2.3, the
"Current Market Price" means with respect to any Trading Day the last
sale price (regular way) of the Common on such day as reported on the New
York Stock Exchange Consolidated Tape (as published in the Wall Street
Journal), or, if such Common Stock is not listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. or reported on such Consolidated Tape, then the last sale
price on such day on the principal domestic stock exchange on which such
stock is then listed or admitted to trading, or, if no sale takes place
on such day on such exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices on such day as officially quoted on such exchange, or, if such
Common Stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on any domestic
stock exchange but is quoted in the National Market System ("NMS/NASDAQ")
of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation
System ("NASDAQ"), then the Current Market Price for each such Trading
Day shall be the last sale price on such day as quoted by NMS/NASDAQ,
or, if no sale takes place on such day or if such Common Stock is
neither listed or admitted to trading on any domestic stock exchange
nor quoted on such National Market System, then the Current Market
Price for each such Trading Day shall be the average of the reported
closing bid and asked price quotations on such day in the
over-the-counter market, as reported by NASDAQ, or, if not so
reported, as furnished by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., or, if
such firm at the time is not engaged in the business of reporting such
prices, as furnished by any similar firm then engaged in such business
as selected by the Company, or if there is no such firm, as furnished
by any member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
selected by the Company with the written approval of the Holders of
Warrants exercisable for a majority of the shares of Warrant Stock
issuable under then outstanding Warrants. If at any time such Common
Stock is not listed on any domestic exchange or quoted in the domestic
over-the-counter market, the Current Market Price shall be deemed to
be an amount mutually agreed upon in writing between the Company and
the Holder of this Warrant within fifteen days immediately following
the date on which the Current Market Price is to be determined. If no
agreement as to Current Market Price is determined as stated herein,
(i) the Holder of this Warrant shall select an independent appraiser
who shall determine the fair market value per share of the Common
Stock which shall be the Current Market Price, provided the Company
shall agree to such Current Market Price. If the Company shall not
agree to the Current Market Price as determined in the preceding
sentence then (ii) the Company and Banca del Gottardo shall each
select an independent appraiser who shall, independently of the other
appraiser, determine the fair market value of the Common Stock of the
Company. If the value determined by the appraiser whose determination
is the higher of the two appraisals does not exceed by more than ten
percent (10%) the average of the values determined by each appraiser,
then the Current Market Price shall be the average of the values
determined by the two appraisers. If the value determined by the
appraiser whose determination is the higher of the two appraisals does
exceed by more than ten percent (10%) the average of the value
determined by each appraiser, then the two appraisers shall select a
third independent appraiser who shall, independently of the other
appraisals, determine the fair market value of the Common Stock. The
value determined by the appraiser whose determination is the most
discrepant from the average of the three appraisals shall be
discarded, and the Current Market Price shall equal the average of the
remaining two appraisals; except that in the event that the highest
and lowest appraisals are equally discrepant from the average of the
three appraisals, the Current Market Price shall be such average. The
Company shall bear the expenses of all appraisals.
For the purpose of this Section 2.4, "trading day" shall mean a day on
which the securities exchange or on NASDAQ specified for purposes of
this Section 2.4 shall be open for business or, if the shares of
Common Stock shall not be listed on such exchange for such period, a
day with respect to which quotations of the character referred to in
the next preceding sentence shall be reported.
2.5. In computing an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to Sections
2.1 to 2.3 above, shares of Common Stock not outstanding at the time of
such computation shall be deemed outstanding to the extent that the
Conversion Price has been previously adjusted to reflect the issuance of
such shares of Common Stock or rights, options or warrants to subscribe
for or purchase such shares of Common Stock.
2.6. Except as stated in Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 above, the Conversion Price
(except at the Company's option) shall not be adjusted for the issuance
of shares of Common Stock of the Company whether or not at less than the
Current Market Price or the current Conversion Price, whether for cash or
property.
2.7. No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price unless such
adjustment would result in any increase or decrease of at least USD 0.05
in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this Section 2.7 are not required to be
made will by carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment.
2.8. All calculations under these Conversion Provisions shall be made to the
nearest one U.S. cent, with 0.5 U.S. cent or more to be considered a full
U.S. cent,or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
2.9. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company
shall promptly send to Banca del Gottardo a certificate of the Company
setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting
forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the
date on which it becomes effective. The contents of any certificate
required by this Section 2.9 may be transmitted by telex or cable, but
shall be confirmed in writing as hereinbefore provided. Banca del
Gottardo may rely upon such certificate (or such transmission by cable or
telex, whether or not so confirmed) as conclusive evidence of the
correctness of the adjustment referred to therein.
2.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made to the extent
that it would reduce the Conversion Price to less than the par value
of the shares of Common Stock (USD .01 at the date hereof).
2.11. Anything in this Article 2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company
shall be entitled, but shall not be required, to make such reductions
in the Conversion Price in addition to those required by this Article
as it, in its discretion, shall determine to be advisable.
2.12. In any case in which this Article shall require that an adjustment be
made retroactively immediately following a record date, the Company shall
as promptly as practicable issue to the holder of any
Note converted
after such record date the shares of Common Stock and other common stock
of the Company issuable on such conversion in excess of the shares of
Common Stock and other common stock of the Company issuable on such
conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to such adjustment.
Article 3
3.1. In the event that:
(a) the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of shares
of Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible
into shares of Common Stock, or of any other subscription rights
or warrants;
(b) the Company shall authorize the distribution to all holders of
shares of Common Stock of evidences of its indebtedness or assets
(other than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of
consolidated earnings or earned surplus or dividends payable in
Common Stock);
(c) there shall be any consolidation or merger to which the Company is
a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company
is required, or there shall be the conveyance or transfer of all
or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company,
or there shall be any reorganization or reclassification or change
of outstanding Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
conversion rights hereunder (other than a change in par value, or
from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value,
or as a result of a subdivision or combination);
(d) there shall be voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding-up of the Company; or
(e) the Company proposes to take any action (other than the actions
of the type described in Section 2.1) which would require and
adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Article 2;
then the Company shall, at least 10 days prior to the applicable
record date, provide written notice of such event to Banca del
Gottardo stating (x) the record date in the United States of
America as of which the holders of
record of shares of Common Stock to be entitled to receive any
such rights, warrants, or distributions are to be determined, or
(y) the date in the United States of America on which such
reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become
effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders
of record of the shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to vote
upon, and, if approved, to exchange their shares of Common Stock
for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
3.2 If the event described in the notice given pursuant to Section
3.1. will result in an adjustment of the Conversion Price
pursuant to Article 2, such notice shall also state the new
Conversion Price unless the Conversion Price cannot be calculated
at the time such notice is given.
3.3 The failure to give or publish the notice required by this
Article 3 or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or
validity of the proceedings referred to in Section 3.1.
Article 4
So long as any of the Convertible Notes remain convertible, the Company shall
not take any action which would result in an adjustment of the Conversion Price
pursuant to Article 2 if, after giving effect thereto, the Conversion Price
would be decreased to such an extent that the Shares could not be legally
issued, under applicable law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company
then in effect, at such decreased Conversion Price as fully-paid and
non-assessable Shares.
Article 5
The Conversion Agent shall not at any time be responsible to any Noteholder for
determining whether any facts exist (a) which may require any adjustment of the
Conversion Price, (b) with respect to the nature or extent of any such
adjustment when made, (c) with respect to the method employed, or herein or in
any supplemental agreement (if any) provided to be employed in making any such
adjustment. The Conversion Agent makes no representation as to the validity or
value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any
securities, property or cash, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon
the conversion of any Convertible Note. The Conversion Agent shall not be
responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue,
transfer or deliver any shares of stock or stock certificates or other
securities or property upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of
conversion or to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in
these Conversion Provisions.
Article 6
6.1. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the
Company into, any other corporation (other than a consolidation or merger
in which the Company is the continuing corporation), or in the case of
any sale or transfer of all of the assets of the Company as an entirety
or substantially as an entirety, the corporation formed by such
consolidation or the corporation into
which the Company shall have been merged or the corporation which
shall have acquired such assets, as the case may be, shall execute
with Banca del Gottardo a supplemental agreement which shall (a)
provide that the holder of each Convertible Note then outstanding
shall have the right to receive thereafter, during the period such
Convertible Note shall be convertible as specified in Article 2, upon
conversion of such Convertible Note, in lieu of each share of Common
Stock deliverable on such conversion immediately prior to such event,
only the kind and amount of shares and/or other securities and/or
property and/or cash which are receivable, or which, but for the
failure to distribute to holders of Common Stock all or substantially
all of the consideration receivable on such sale or transfer of
assets, would be receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer by a holder of one share of Common Stock of the Company and
(b) set forth the Conversion Price for the shares and/or other
securities and/or property and/or cash so issuable, which shall be an
amount equal to the Conversion Price per share of Common Stock of the
Company immediately prior to such event.
6.2. In case of any reclassification or change of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Notes (other than a change in par value,
or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination) or in case of any consolidation or merger of another
corporation into the Company in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and in which the holders of the shares of Common Stock
thereafter receive shares, other securities, property, cash or any
combination thereof for such shares of Common Stock (including for this
purpose shares reflecting a change in par value or from par value to no
par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination of the shares of
Common Stock), the Company shall execute with Banca del Gottardo a
supplemental agreement which shall (a) provide that the holder of each
Convertible Note then outstanding shall receive, upon conversion thereof,
in lieu of each share of Common Stock of the Company deliverable upon
such conversion immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of
shares and/or other securities and/or property and/or cash receivable
upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by a holder
of one share of Common Stock, and (b) set forth the Conversion Price for
the shares and/or other securities and/or property and/or cash so
issuable, which shall be an amount equal to the Conversion Price per
share of Common Stock immediately prior to such event.
6.3. If, as a result of Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, the holder of any
Convertible Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become
entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of common stock of the
Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive)
shall determine the allocation of the Conversion Price between or among
shares of such classes of capital stock. Any supplemental agreement
executed pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 shall provide for adjustments
which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments
provided for herein, and, where appropriate, state the Conversion Price
in terms of one full share of Common Stock or one full share of common
stock of any successor or purchasing corporation. The terms of this
Article 6 also shall apply to successive consolidations, merger, sales or
transfers. In the event that at any time as a result of an adjustment
made pursuant to this Article 6 the holder of any Note thereafter
surrendered for
conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares or securities
other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the prices or price of
such other shares or other securities so receivable on conversion of
any Convertible 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 Common Stock contained in Article 2, and
the provisions of Article 2 with respect to the Common Stock shall
apply on like terms to any such other shares.
6.4. The Conversion Agent shall have no responsibility for any consolidation,
merger, sale or transfer, the form or substance or any plan relating
thereto or the consequences thereof to any Noteholder.
The Conversion Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the
correctness of any provision contained in any supplemental agreement
relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or
property receivable by Noteholders upon the conversion of their
Convertible Notes after any such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer,
or to any adjustment made with respect thereto. The Conversion Agent may,
at its option, receive an opinion of counsel for the Company as
conclusive evidence that any such supplemental agreement complies with
the provisions of this Article.
