Warrant for cancellation, execute
1
and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder hereof to
purchase the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt
by the Company of this Warrant at its office, or by the Warrant Agent
of the Company at its office, in proper form for exercise, the Holder
shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock
transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificate
representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually
delivered to the Holder.
B. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company hereby agrees that at all times
there shall be reserved for issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of
this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be
required for issuance of delivery upon exercise of this Warrant.
C. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.
With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon exercise
hereof, the Company shall issue to the Holder the next whole share.
D. EXCHANGE, ASSIGNMENT OR LOSS OF WARRANT. This Warrant is exchangeable,
without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and
surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of the Warrant Agent
for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the holder
thereof to purchase in aggregate the same number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable hereunder. The term Warrant as used herein includes
any Warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the
loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the
case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory
indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant,
if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of
like tenor and date. Any such new warrant executed and delivered shall
constitute an additional contractual obligation on the part of the
Company, whether or not this Warrant so lost stolen, destroyed, or
mutilated shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
E. RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue here of, be
entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law
or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed
in the Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to
the extent set forth herein.
F. STOCK DIVIDENDS, RECLASSIFICATION, REORGANIZATION, ANTI-DILUTION
PROVISIONS, ETC. This Warrant is subject to the following further
provisions:
1. In case, prior to the expiration of this Warrant by exercise
or by its terms, the Company shall issue any shares of its
Common Stock as a stock dividend or subdivide the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, then, in either of such cases, the Exercise Price per
share of the Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to this
Warrant in effect at the time of such
2
action shall be proportionately reduced and the number of
Warrant Shares at that time purchasable pursuant to this
Warrant shall be proportionately increased; and conversely, in
the event the Company shall contract the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock by combining such shares into a smaller
number of shares, then, in such case, the Exercise Price per
share of the Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to this
Warrant in effect at the time of such action shall be
proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares at
that time purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be
proportionately decreased. Any dividend paid or distributed
upon the Common Stock in stock of any other class of
securities convertible into shares of Common Stock shall be
treated as a dividend paid in Common Stock to the extent that
shares of Common Stock are issuable upon the conversion
thereof.
2. In case, prior to the expiration of this Warrant by exercise
or by its terms, the Company shall be recapitalized by
reclassifying its outstanding Common Stock, $.001 par value,
into stock with a different par value or by changing its
outstanding Common Stock with par value to stock without par,
the Company or a successor corporation shall be consolidated
or merge with or convey all or substantially all of its or of
any successor corporation's property and assets to any other
corporation or corporations (any such corporation being
included within the meaning of the term successor corporation
in the event of any consolidation or merger of any such
corporation with, or the sale of all or substantially all of
the property of any such corporation to, another corporation
or corporations), in exchange for stock or securities of a
successor corporation, the holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter have the right to purchase upon the terms and
conditions and during the time specified in this Warrant, in
lieu of the Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of
stock and other securities receivable upon such
recapitalization or consolidation, merger or conveyance by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which the
holder of this Warrant might have purchased immediately prior
to such recapitalization or consolidation, merger or
conveyance.
3. Upon the occurrence of each event requiring an adjustment of
the Exercise Price and of the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable at such adjusted Exercise Price by reason of such
event in accordance with the provisions of this Section F, the
Company shall compute the adjusted Exercise Price and the
adjusted number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such adjusted
Exercise Price by reason of such event in accordance with the
provisions of this Section F and shall prepare a certificate
setting forth such adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted
number of Warrant Shares and showing in detail the facts upon
which such conclusions are based. The Company shall mail
forthwith to each holder of this Warrant a copy of such
certificate, and thereafter said certificate shall be
conclusive and shall be binding upon such holder unless
contested by such holder by written notice to the Company
within thirty (30) days after receipt of the certificate by
such holder.
3
4. In case:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
receive a dividend or any other distribution in
respect of the Common Stock (including cash),
pursuant to without limitation, any spin-off,
split-off or distribution of the Company's assets; or
(b) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any
class or to receive any other rights; or
(c) of any classification, reclassification or other
reorganization of the capital stock of the Company,
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation, or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, and in any such case, the Company shall mail to the
Holder, at least twenty (20) days prior thereto, a notice
stating the date or expected date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution of
rights, or the date on which such classification,
reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger,
conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up is to take
place, as the case may be. Such notice shall also specify the
date or expected date, if any is to be fixed, as of which
holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
participate in said dividend or distribution of rights, or
shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common stock for
securities or other property deliverable upon such
classification, reclassification, reorganization,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation,
or winding up, as the case may be. The failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of any such proceeding or
transaction and shall not affect the right of the holder of
this Warrant to participate in said dividend, distribution of
rights, or any such exchange and acquire the kind and amount
of cash, securities or other property as the Holder would have
been entitled to acquire if it was the record holder of the
Warrant Shares which could be obtained upon the exercise of
the Warrants immediately before such proceeding or
transaction; provided that, the Holder exercises the Warrants
within 30 days after discovery that such action or proceeding
has taken place.
5. In case the Company at any time while this Warrant shall
remain unexpired and unexercised, shall dissolve, liquidate,
or wind up its affairs, the holder of this Warrant may
thereafter receive upon exercise hereof in lieu of each share
of
4
Common Stock of the Company which it would have been entitled
to receive, the same kind and amount of any securities or
assets as may be issuable, distributable or payable upon any
such dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to
each share of Common Stock of the Company.
G. OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as
required by the provisions of the foregoing Section, the Company shall
forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary at its principal office
and with the Warrant Agent, if any, an officer's certificate showing
the adjusted Exercise Price determined as therein provided, setting
forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment,
including a statement of the number of additional shares of Common
Stock, if any, the consideration for such shares, determined as
provided in such Section F, and such other facts as shall be necessary
to show the reason for and the manner of computing such adjustment.
Each such officer's certificate shall be made available at all
reasonable times for inspection by the holder and the Company shall,
forthwith after each such adjustment, mail a copy of such certificate
to the holder.

Warrant, the Warrant Shares, nor any other security issued or issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant may be sold or otherwise disposed or
