of such property by the Company. Any real property and facilities held under
lease by the Company are held by it under valid, subsisting and enforceable
leases, with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the
use made and proposed to be made of such property and facilities by the Company.
2.25 Insurance. The Company is insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management
of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the business in which the
Company is engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be
able to renew its existing insurance coverages as and when such coverage expires
or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to
continue its business, at a cost that
10
would not materially and adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise,
or the earnings, business or operations of the Company, taken as a whole.
2.26 Registration Rights; Rights of Participation. Except as set forth in
Section 2.1(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has not granted
or agreed to grant any Person any rights (including "piggy-back" registration
rights) to have any securities of the Company registered with the Commission or
any other governmental authority which have not been satisfied. Additionally, no
person, including, but not limited to, current or former stockholders of the
Company, underwriters, brokers or agents, has any right of first refusal,
preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Registration Rights
Agreement.
3. Representations and Warranties of Investor.
Each Investor hereby represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, to
the Company as follows:
3.1 Organization and Standing; Power.
(a) With respect to each Investor that is an entity, such Investor is an
entity duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdiction in which it is formed and has all requisite power and authority
and all material qualifications, licenses, permits and authorizations necessary
to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and
as proposed to be conducted through the current fiscal year and to carry out the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such Investor has all requisite
power to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement
and the other agreements contemplated hereby to which it is a party, and to
carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement.
(b) With respect to each Investor who is a natural person, such Investor
has full right, power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the other agreements
contemplated hereby, and to carry out and perform such Investor's obligations
under the terms of this Agreement.
3.2 Authorization. This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and
each of the other agreements contemplated hereby to which an Investor is a
party, when executed and delivered by the Investor and the Company, will
constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Investor, enforceable
against the Investor in accordance with their terms, subject to laws of general
application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or creditors' rights and rules of
law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies.
11
3.3 Experience. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests.
The Investor acknowledges that investment in the Shares, the Warrants and the
Warrant Shares is a speculative risk. The Investor is able to fend for itself in
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, can bear the economic risk of
its investment in the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares (including
possible complete loss of such investment) for an indefinite period of time and
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares, the
Warrants and the Warrant Shares. The Investor understands that nothing in this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrants or any other
materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of
the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares constitutes legal, tax or
investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment
advisors as such Investor, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or
appropriate.
3.4 Investment Purpose. The Investor is acquiring the Shares, the Warrants
and the Warrant Shares for investment for its own account, and not with a view
to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Investor
understands that the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), by
reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act,
the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature
of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Investor's representations as
expressed herein. The Investor understands that the Shares, the Warrants and the
Warrant Shares are characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal
securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a
transaction not involving any public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations, the Shares may be resold without registration under the
1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Investor shall not, directly
or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit
any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the
Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares except in compliance with the 1933
Act, applicable state securities laws and the respective rules and regulations
thereunder.
3.5 Access to Data. The Investor and its representatives have been afforded
access to corporate books, financial statements, records, contracts, documents
and other information concerning the Company (to the extent such exists), and to
its offices and facilities, have been afforded an opportunity to ask such
questions of the Company's officers, employees, agents, accountants and
representatives concerning the Company's existing and proposed business,
operations, financial condition, assets, liabilities and other relevant matters
as they have deemed necessary or desirable, and have been given all such
information as has been requested, in order to evaluate the merits and risks of
the prospective investments contemplated herein. The Investor further represents
and
12
acknowledges that it has been solely responsible for its own "due diligence"
investigation of the Company and its management and business, for its own
analysis of the merits and risks of this investment, and for its own analysis of
the fairness and desirability of the terms of the investment. The foregoing,
however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the
Company in Section 2 hereof.
3.6 Residency. For purposes of the application of state securities laws,
the Investor represents and warrants to the Company that it is a bona fide
resident of, or a duly formed entity domiciled in, the state or country set
forth in its address opposite its name on Exhibit A hereto.
3.7 Accredited Investor. The Investor is an accredited investor within the
meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement
transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company so that the
Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the
Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests.
3.8 Not an Affiliate or Group. Except as specified on Exhibit A, the
Investor represents that it is not under the control of, controlled by or under
common control with any other Investor, and the Investor represents that it,
along with any other Investor or Investors, is not a Person or a Group under
Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange act of 1934.
3.9 Restrictive Legends. The Investors agree that, so long as the Shares,
the Warrants and the Warrant Shares remain restricted securities, the Company
shall place a restrictive legend on the certificate(s) representing them in
substantially the following forms:
(a) Shares:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE
TRANSFERRED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGRISTRATION IS
NOT REQUIRED."
(b) Warrants:
"THIS WARRANT AND ANY SECURITIES ACQUIRED UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT
13
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,
OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR
SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION TO THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS."
(c) Warrant Shares:
"THE TRANSFER OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS
RESTRICTED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
DATED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001, ISSUED BY RMH TELESERVICES, INC., A COPY OF
WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF RMH
TELESERVICES, INC. TRANSFER MAY NOT BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE TERMS OF THE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT. IN ADDITION, NO SALE,
OFFER TO SELL OR TRANSFER OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
SHALL BE MADE UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "1933 ACT"), WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SHARES IS
THEN IN EFFECT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF
THE 1933 ACT IS THEN IN FACT APPLICABLE TO SUCH SHARES."
3.10 Transactions in Common Stock. Investor has not, during the 30 trading
days immediately preceding the Closing Date, sold or established a short
position in any shares of the Common Stock or other capital stock of the
Company.
3.11 No General Solicitation. Investor did not learn of the investment in
the Common Stock as a result of any public advertising or general solicitation.
14
4. Registration Rights and Termination Events.
4.1 Registration Rights. The Shares and the Warrant Shares shall have the
registration rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement,
substantially in the form as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto.
4.2 Termination Events. Upon the declaration of a Termination Event (as
defined the Registration Rights Agreement), each Investor will receive from the
Company warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company in an amount
such that the number of Warrants that each Investor purchased at Closing plus
the warrants received by such Investor pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall, in
the aggregate, be equal to the number of Shares of Common Stock purchased by
such Investor at the Closing (the "Additional Warrants"). The Additional
Warrants will be exercisable at a price equal to 125% of the Stock Price and
will have a five (5) year life from the date of issuance and will be
substantially similar in form and substance to the Warrants. For purposes of
this Section 4.2, Stock Price means the (1) the five (5) day trading average of
-
the closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the trading days prior to
the Closing Date or (2) the closing bid price on the trading day immediately
-
preceding the Closing Date, whichever is less.
5. Closing Conditions.
5.1 Conditions to the Company's Obligation to Sell. The Company's
obligation to sell and deliver the Shares and the Warrants to the Investors

covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement to be performed, satisfied and complied with
by such Investor at or prior to the Closing.
15
5.2 Conditions to Each Investor's Obligation to Purchase. Each Investor's

Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and any other transaction
document (to the extent a party thereto), including, in the case of the
Company, the Warrants, and delivered the same to such Investor.

2 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects at and as of

performance of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and
the Warrants and each of the other agreements contemplated hereby, the

and all other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants;
(3) Copies of all third party and governmental consents, approvals
and filings required in connection with the consummation of the
transactions hereunder (including, without limitation, all blue sky law
16
filings required to be made prior to the Closing (provided, that the
Company agrees to deliver copies of all other required blue sky filings
within 10 days of the Closing) and waivers of all preemptive rights and
rights of first refusal, if any);
(4) The legal opinion referred to in Section 5.2(c) hereof;

by this Agreement as the Investors may reasonably request before the
Closing.
Any condition specified in this Section 5.2 may be waived with respect to
the Investors only if consented to in writing by the Investors granting such
waiver. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Company does not satisfy all of
the conditions set forth in this Section 5.2, the Investors will nevertheless
have the option to purchase the Shares and the Warrants at the Closing.
6. Right of First Refusal.
6.1 Right of First Refusal. Subject to the terms and conditions contained
in this Section 6, the Company hereby grants to each Investor the right of first
refusal, for 180 days after the Closing Date, to purchase such Investor's Pro
Rata Portion of any New Securities (as defined below) which the Company may,
from time to time, propose to sell and issue. An Investor's "Pro Rata Portion"
for purposes of this Section 6.1 is equal to the fraction obtained by dividing
(a) the number of Shares held by such Investor by (b) the aggregate number of
- -
shares of Common Stock then outstanding, assuming in each case the conversion,
exercise or exchange of all securities by their terms convertible into or
exercisable for Common Stock and the exercise of all options to purchase or
rights to subscribe for Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable
securities, whether or not the terms of such securities or rights then permit
such conversion, exercise or exchange.
6.2 Definition of New Securities. Except as set forth below, "New
Securities" shall mean any shares of capital stock of the Company, and rights,
options or warrants to purchase said shares of capital stock, and securities of
any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into said shares of
capital stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "New Securities" does not include
(i) securities offered in an underwritten public offering pursuant to a
-
registration statement under the 1933 Act, (ii) all shares of Common Stock,
--
warrants or options to purchase Common Stock or other securities issued upon the
approval of the Board of Directors to employees, officers, directors and
17
consultants of the Company (x) who have provided or will provide bona fide
-
services to the Company not in connection with the offer or sale of securities
in a capital raising transaction and (y) who do not, directly or indirectly,
-
promote or maintain a market for the Company's securities, pursuant to any plan
or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors or the shareholders of the
Company, (iii) all securities issued to lending or leasing institutions upon the
---
approval of the Board of Directors in connection with loans from or leasing
transactions with such institutions, (iv) stock issued pursuant to any private
--
placement completed on substantially similar terms or within 45 days of the
Closing Date, or (v) stock issued in connection with any merger or acquisition
-
by the Company.
6.3 Notice of Right. In the event the Company proposes to undertake an
issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Investor written notice of its
intention, describing the type of New Securities and the price and terms upon
which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Investor shall have 15 days
from the date of receipt of any such notice to agree to purchase shares of such
New Securities (up to the amount referred to in Section 6.1), for the price and
upon the terms specified in the notice, which price and terms shall be the same
as are applicable to the investors purchasing the New Securities, by giving
written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities
to be purchased.
6.4 Exercise of Right. If any Investor exercises its right of first refusal
hereunder, the closing of the purchase of the New Securities by such Investor
with respect to which such right has been exercised shall take place on the date
set by the Company for the sale of New Securities; provided that such closing
shall not occur prior to the date 20 days following the date of the written
notice provided to the Investors, and provided, further, that the date of such
closing shall be extended in order to comply with applicable laws and
regulations.
6.5 Lapse and Reinstatement of Right. In the event a Investor fails to
exercise the right of first refusal provided in Section 6.1 within said 15 day
period, the Company shall have 60 days thereafter to sell the New Securities not
elected to be purchased by such Investor at the price and upon the terms no more
favorable to the purchasers of such securities than specified in the Company's
notice. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities or entered into
an agreement to sell the New Securities within said 60 day period, the Company
shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering
such securities to the Investors in the manner provided above.

certificate shall be made unless a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), with respect to
such shares is then in effect or an exemption from the registration
requirements of the 1933 Act is then in fact applicable to such
shares.
1.3 When exercise effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the
Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as
provided in Section 1.1. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or
names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be
issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1.3 shall be deemed to have
become the stockholder(s) of record thereof.
1.4 Representations of Holder. The Holder represents, warrants and
acknowledges to the Company that:
1.4.1 it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act;
1.4.2 it has been furnished with and has carefully read all documents that
the Holder has deemed necessary in connection with its investment in the Warrant
and is aware of the merits and risks of an investment in the Warrant to be
purchased by it and,
2
Exhibit B
due to its knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such investment;
1.4.3 it has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive
answers from, the Company (including its authorized representatives) concerning
the terms and conditions of the Warrant to be purchased by it and other matters
pertaining to an investment in the Warrant, in order for the Warrant holder to
evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Warrant to be purchased by
it to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it
without unreasonable effort or expense;
1.4.4 it is aware this Warrant has not been registered under the
Securities Act, or any state securities or blue sky laws and, therefore, the
Warrant cannot be resold unless it is registered under such laws or unless an
exemption from registration thereunder is available;
1.4.5 it is purchasing the Warrant for its own account for investment, and
not with a view to, or for resale in connection with the distribution thereof,
and has no present intention of distributing or reselling the Warrant; and
1.4.6 in making the foregoing representations, it is aware that it must
bear, and is able to bear, the economic risk of such investment for an
indefinite period of time.
1.5 Representations of the Company.
The Company represents, warrants and acknowledges to the Holder that:
1.5.1 it is a corporation duly formed and validly existing in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania;
1.5.2 the Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for
issuance and delivery upon the exercise of the Warrants, the number of shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable upon the exercise
of all Warrants at the time outstanding. All such securities shall be duly
authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued and, in
the case of shares, fully paid and nonassessable with no liability on the part
of the holders thereof.
1.5.3 this Warrant has been duly authorized and approved by all requisite
action of the Company, and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the
Company; and
when issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, the shares of Common
Stock covered by this Warrant will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
3
Exhibit B
2. Negotiability and Transfer. This Warrant is issued upon the following
terms, to which the Holder consents and agrees:
2.1 Absolute Owner. Until this Warrant is duly transferred on the books
of the Company, the Company may treat the registered Holder as absolute owner
hereof for all purposes without being affected by any notice to the contrary.
2.2 Successive Holder. Each successive holder of this Warrant, or of any
portion of the rights represented thereby, shall be bound by the terms and
conditions set forth herein.
3. Adjustments. The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:
3.1 Divisions; Consolidations, Reclassifications. In case the Company
shall, on or before the Expiration Date, (i) issue any shares of Common Stock in
payment of a dividend or other distribution with respect to its Common Stock or
other shares of capital stock, (ii) subdivide its issued and outstanding shares
of Common Stock, (iii) consolidate its issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) reclassify or convert the shares
of Common Stock (other than a reclassification in connection with a merger,
consolidation or other business combination governed by Section 3.9), then the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant
immediately prior to the record date for such issue or distribution or the
effective date of such subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or
conversion shall be adjusted so that the Holder of each Warrant shall thereafter
be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of Common Stock which such
Holder would have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the
events described above had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the
happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. An adjustment
made pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall become effective immediately after the
effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such
event.
3.2 Rights; Options; Warrants. In case the Company shall issue rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities (other than an
issuance of convertible or exchangeable securities subject to Section 3.1) to
all holders of its Common Stock, entitling them to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock at a price per share which is lower (at the record date
for such issuance) than the then Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 5.3
hereof) per share of Common Stock, then the Company shall ensure that at the
time of such issuance, the same or a like offer or invitation is made to the
Holder as if its Warrants had been exercised on the day immediately preceding
the record date of such offer or invitation on the terms (subject to any
adjustment pursuant to Section 3.1 for a prior event) on which such Warrants
could
4
Exhibit B
have been exercised on such date; provided that if the board of directors of the
Company (the "Board") so resolves, the Company shall not be required to ensure
that the same offer or invitation is made to the Holder, but the number of
shares of Common Stock thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant
shall instead be adjusted and shall be determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock theretofore purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant by
a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities plus (ii) the number
of additional shares of Common Stock which may be purchased or subscribed for
upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such rights, options, warrants or
convertible or exchangeable securities and the denominator of which shall be the
sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable
securities plus (y) the number of shares which the total consideration received
by the Company for such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable
securities so offered would purchase at the then Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock.
In the event that the Company decreases the purchase price per share of any
outstanding rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities
(other than under or as a result of provisions designed to protect against
dilution of the type set forth in this Article 3), then the number of shares of
Common Stock thereafter issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be
determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore
issuable upon exercise of each Warrant by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock plus the number of
shares of Common Stock which may thereafter be purchased or subscribed for upon
exercise, exchange or conversion of such rights, options, warrants or
convertible or exchangeable securities and the denominator of which shall be (x)
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock plus (y) the number of shares
of Common Stock which the aggregate decreased purchase price would have
purchased at the then Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock.
In the event that the Company increases the number of shares of Common
Stock which may be purchased or subscribed for upon exercise, exchange or
conversion of any outstanding rights, options, warrants or convertible or
exchangeable securities (other than under or as a result of provisions designed
to protect against dilution of the type set forth in this Section 3), then the
number of shares of Common Stock thereafter issuable upon exercise of each
Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock
theretofore issuable upon exercise of each Warrant by a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock plus the
number of shares of Common Stock which may thereafter be purchase or subscribed
for upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such rights, option, warrants or
convertible or exchangeable securities and the denominator of which shall be (x)
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock plus (y) the number of shares
of Common Stock
5
Exhibit B
which theretofore could have been purchase or subscribed for upon exercise,
exchange or conversion of such rights, options, warrants or convertible or
exchangeable securities.
Except as otherwise provided above or in Section 3.11, such adjustment
shall be made whenever such rights, options, warrants or convertible or
exchangeable securities are issued, or the date of any such decrease in purchase
price or such increase in underlying Common Stock, and shall become effective
retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or convertible
or exchangeable securities or to such decrease or increase.
3.3 Issuances of Common Stock at Lower Values. In case the Company shall
sell and issue any shares of Common Stock or Right (as defined below) (excluding
(i) any Right issued in any of the transactions described in Section 3.1 or 3.2
above, (ii) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Warrants or any Right
issued in any transaction described in Section 3.1 or 3.2 above, (iii) shares of
Common Stock issued pursuant to options outstanding as of the date hereof, and
(iv) shares of Common Stock or Rights issued as consideration when any
corporation or business is acquired, merged into or becomes part of the Company
or a subsidiary of the Company in an arm's-length transaction between the
Company and a Person (as defined below) (other than an Affiliate of the Company,
as defined below) at a price per share of Common Stock (determined in the case
of any such Right, by dividing (x) the total consideration receivable by the
Company in consideration of the sale and issuance of such Right, plus the total
consideration payable to the Company upon exercise, conversion or exchange
thereof, by (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock covered by such
Right) that is lower than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock as
determined immediately prior to the date of such sale or issuance (or, in the
case of a Securities Offering (as defined below) of shares of Common Stock or
Rights, the date not more than five business days prior to the date of such sale
or issuance on which the Company fixes the price therefor) then the number of
shares of Common Stock thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant
shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock
theretofore purchasable upon exercise of such Warrant by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such sale or issuance and the denominator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such sale
or issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
consideration received (determined as provided below) for such sale or issuance
would purchase at such Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock. For
purposes of this Section 3.3, the shares of Common Stock which the holder of any
such Right shall be entitled to subscribe for or purchase shall be deemed to be
issued and outstanding as of the date of sale and issuance of such Right and the
consideration received by the Company therefor shall be deemed to be the
consideration received by the Company for such Right, plus the consideration or
premiums stated in such Right to be paid for the Common Stock covered
6
Exhibit B
thereby. In case the Company shall sell and issue any Right together with one or
more other securities as part of a unit at a price per unit, then in determining
the "price per share of Common Stock" and the "consideration received by the
Company" for purposes of the first sentence of this Section 3.3, the Board shall
determine, in good faith, the fair value of the Right then being sold as part of
such unit. For purposes of this paragraph, a "Right" means any right, option,
warrant or convertible or exchangeable security containing the Right to
subscribe for or acquire one or more shares of Common Stock, excluding the
Warrants. For purposes of this Article 3, "Securities Offering" shall mean a
bona fide public offering or private placement (to five or more investors)
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, Regulation D thereunder or
Regulation S thereunder, made through at least one investment bank of national
standing.
For purposes of this Section 3 a "Person" means an individual, general
partnership, limited partnership, corporation trust or any other entity or
organization, including a government or political subdivision or an agency or
instrumentality thereof. An "Affiliate" means, as applied to any Person, any
other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under direct
or indirect common control with, such Person. For purposes of this definition,
"control" (including, with correlative meanings, the terms "controlling,"
"controlled by" and "under common control with"), as applied to any Person,
means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause
the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the
ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
3.4 Distribution of Debt, Assets, Subscription Rights or Convertible
Securities. In case the Company shall make a distribution to holders of its
Common Stock of (i) evidences of its indebtedness, or assets, or other dividends
or distributions, or (ii) any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for
or purchase any of the foregoing (excluding (1) any issuance of Common Stock
referred to in Section 3.1 above, (2) distributions in connection with the
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company governed by Section 3.10
and (3) distributions of securities referred to in Section 3.1, Section 3.2 or
Section 3.3), then, in each case, the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such distribution (or the date provided for in Section 3.11, if
applicable) upon the exercise of each Warrant, shall be determined by
multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant immediately prior to such date by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock immediately prior
to such date and the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per
share of Common Stock immediately prior to such date less (a) any cash so
distributed per share of Common Stock plus (b) the then fair value (as
determined in good faith by the Board and set forth in a Board resolution
delivered to the Holder) of the evidences of its indebtedness, or non-cash
assets or other non-cash dividends or distributions, options or subscription or
purchase rights so distributed attributable to one share of Common Stock
7
Exhibit B
(notwithstanding the foregoing, if the fair value in the above formula equals or
exceeds the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock, then the Fair Market
Value per share of Common Stock shall be equal to such fair value). Such
adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall
become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for
the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution (or the
date provided for in Section 3.11, if applicable).
3.5 Expiration of Rights, Options and Conversion Privileges. Upon the
expiration of any rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange privileges
(including, without limitation, any Rights) that have previously resulted in an
adjustment hereunder, if any thereof shall not have been exercised, exchanged or
converted, the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of each Warrant shall, upon such expiration, be readjusted and
shall thereafter, upon any future exercise, be such as they would have been had
they been originally adjusted (or had the original adjustment not been required,
as the case may be) as if (i) the only Common Stock so issued were the shares of
Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise, exchange or
conversion of such rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange rights
(including, without limitation, any Rights) and (ii) such shares of Common
Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by
the Company upon such exercise, exchange or conversion plus the consideration,
if any, actually received by the Company for issuance, sale or grant of all such
rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange rights (including, without
limitation, any Rights) whether or not exercised; provided, however, that no
such readjustment shall (except by reason of an intervening adjustment under
Section 3.1) have the effect of decreasing the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant by an amount in excess of the amount
of the adjustment initially made in respect of the issuance, sale or grant of
such rights, options, warrants or conversion exchange privileges.
3.6 Consideration Received. For purposes of any computation respecting
consideration received pursuant to this Section 3, the following shall apply:
(i) in the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the
consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided that in no case shall
any deduction be made for any commissions, discounts or other expenses incurred
by the Company for any underwriting of the issue or otherwise in connection
therewith;
(ii) in the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration in
whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be
deemed to be the Fair Market Value thereof as determined in good faith by the
Board (irrespective of the accounting treatment thereof), whose determination
shall be conclusive and described in reasonable detail in a Board resolution
which shall be provided promptly thereafter to the Holder; and
8
Exhibit B
(iii) in the case of the issuance of rights, options, warrants or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock
(including, without limitation, any Rights), the aggregate consideration
received therefor shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the
Company for the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, plus the additional
minimum consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof (the consideration in each case to be determined
in the same manner as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 3.6).
3.7 De Minimis Adjustments. No adjustment in the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment
would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number
of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant;
provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 3.7 are
not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment. All calculations shall be made to the nearest one-ten-
billionth of a share.
3.8 Adjustments of Exercise Price. Whenever the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as
herein provided, the Exercise Price per share of Common Stock payable upon
exercise of such Warrant shall be adjusted (calculated to the nearest $0.01) so
that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price
immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction the numerator of which shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each
Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
If after an adjustment, a Holder of a Warrant upon exercise of it may
receive shares of two or more classes in the capital of the Company, the Company
shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between such
classes of shares in a manner that the Board deems fair and equitable to the
Holders. After such allocation, the exercise privilege and the Exercise Price
of each class of shares shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms
comparable to those applicable to shares of Common Stock in this Section 3.
3.9 Consolidation, Merger, Etc.
(i) Subject to the provisions of Subsection (ii) below of this Section
3.9, in case of the consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company
with or into, or of the sale of all or substantially all of the properties and
assets of the Company to, any Person, and in connection therewith consideration
is payable to holders of Common Stock (or other securities or property
purchasable upon exercise of Warrants) in exchange therefor, the Warrants shall
remain subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
9
Exhibit B
Agreement and each Warrant shall, after such consolidation, merger or sale,
entitle the Holder to receive upon exercise the number of shares in the capital
or other securities or property (including cash) of or from the Person resulting
from such consolidation or surviving such merger or to which such sale shall be
made or of the parent of such Person, as the case may be, that would have been
distributable or payable on account of the Common Stock if such Holder's
Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or
sale (or, if applicable, the record date therefor); and in any such case the
provisions of this Agreement with respect to the rights and interests thereafter
of the Holders of Warrants shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board in good
faith so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares,
other securities or any property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the
Warrants.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if the Company merges or
consolidates with, or sells all or substantially all of its property and assets
to, another Person (other than an Affiliate of the Company) and consideration is
payable to holders of Common Stock in exchange for their shares of Common Stock
in connection with such merger, consolidation or sale which consists solely of
cash, or (y) in the event of the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Company, then the Holders of Warrants shall be entitled to receive distributions
on the date of such event on an equal basis with holders of Common Stock (or
other securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants) as if the Warrants had
been exercised immediately prior to such event, less the Exercise Price. Upon
receipt of such payment, if any, the rights of the Holder shall terminate and
cease and the Holder's Warrants shall expire. In case of any such merger,
consolidation or sale of assets, the surviving or acquiring Person and, in the
event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company
shall, after receipt of surrendered Warrant Certificates, make payment by
delivering a check in such amount as is appropriate (or, in the case of
consideration other than cash, such other consideration as is appropriate) to
such Person or Persons as it may be directed in writing by the Holder.
3.10 When No Adjustment Required. No adjustments need be made for:
(i) exercises of Rights granted to and held by directors of the Company
or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and existing on the
Closing Date;
(ii) Rights granted to and held by directors of the Company or employees
of the Company or its subsidiaries after the Closing Date or Common Stock issued
or granted to such employees or directors after the Closing Date, whether or not
upon the exercise, exchange or conversion of any such Rights, to the extent that
all such shares of Common Stock do not have (and such Rights are not
exercisable, exchangeable or convertible for shares of Common Stock having) an
aggregate equity value in excess of 5.0% of the equity value of the Company
(such percentage to be calculated on a fully-diluted basis after giving effect
to all Common Stock and Rights outstanding on the
10
Exhibit B
Closing Date), as determined in good faith by the Board and set forth in a Board
resolution delivered upon request to any Holder;
(iii) rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for
reinvestment of dividends or interest; or
(iv) a Securities Offering of any security trading on any national
securities exchange or in the over the counter market, or of a security directly
or indirectly convertible or exchangeable for any such security (the latter
security being a "Reference Security"), where such security (or the Reference
Security as applicable) is sold to investors at a price at least equal to the
closing sale, bid or ask price (whichever is customary) of such security (or the
Reference Security as applicable) on the date (not more than five business days
prior to the consummation of such Securities Offering, or an average of such
days not exceeding five) on which the Company fixes such price for such sale.
(v) To the extent the Warrants become convertible into cash, no
adjustment need be made thereafter as to the cash. Interest will not accrue on
the cash.
3.11 Detachable Rights, Options or Warrants. Rights, options or warrants
distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders
thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock
(either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or
warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a "Trigger
Event"), (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii)
are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of
shares of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for
purposes of Section 3.2 or Section 3.4 (and no adjustment under such Section
will be required) until the date of occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event.
If such right, option or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the
occurrence of which such right, option or warrant shall become exercisable to
purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or
entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or
to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the
occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and
record date with respect to a new right, option or warrant (and a termination or
expiration of the existing right, option or warrant without exercise by the
holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed
distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the
type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in
an adjustment under Section 3.2 or Section 3.4, (1) in the case of any such
rights, options or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased
without exercise by any holders thereof, the Exercise Price and the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be
readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such
distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash
distribution,
11
Exhibit B
equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of
Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such
holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of
Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the
case of such rights, options or warrants all of which shall have expired or been
terminated without exercise, the Exercise Price and the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be readjusted as
if such rights, options or warrants had never been issued.
3.12 Shareholder Rights Plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Company distributes "poison pill" rights pursuant to a "poison pill" shareholder
rights plan (the "Stockholder Rights"), the Company shall, in lieu of making any
adjustment pursuant to this Section 3, make proper provision so that if the
Warrant Exercise is made after the record date for such distribution and prior
to the expiration or redemption of the Stockholder Rights, the Holder shall be
entitled to receive upon the Warrant Exercise, in addition to the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the Warrant Exercise, a number of Stockholder Rights
to be determined as follows: (a) if the Warrant Exercise occurs on or prior to
the date of distribution to the holders of Rights of separate certificates
evidencing such Stockholder Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of
Stockholder Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal
to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the Warrant Exercise at
the time of the Warrant Exercise would be entitled in accordance with the terms
and provisions of and applicable to the Stockholder Rights; and (b) if the
Warrant Exercise occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of
Stockholder Rights to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable under this Warrant would be entitled if this Warrant was exercised
immediately prior to the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and
provisions of and applicable to the Stockholder Rights, and in each case subject
to the terms and conditions of the Stockholder Rights.
3.13 Other Adjustments. In the event that at any time, as a result of an
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, Holders shall be entitled to receive
any securities of the Company other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of
such other securities so receivable upon exercise of the Warrants and the
Exercise Price applicable to such exercise shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in this Article 3.
3.14 Other Events. If any event occurs as to which the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable or, if strictly
applicable, would not fairly and adequately protect the purchase rights of the
Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such
provisions, then there shall be made such adjustments in the application of such
provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, as shall be
reasonably necessary to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid, but in no
event
12
Exhibit B
shall any such adjustment have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price or
decreasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each
Warrant.
3.15 Method and Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to
be made in the Exercise Price, initial or adjusted, the Company shall forthwith
determine the new Exercise Price, and
(i) Prepare and retain on file, a statement describing in reasonable
detail the method used in arriving at the new Exercise Price; and
(ii) Cause a copy of such statement to be mailed to the Holder within ten
(10) days after the date of the circumstances giving rise to the adjustment
occurs.
3.16 Fractional Interests. If more than one Warrant shall be presented
for exercise in full at the same time by the Holder, the number of full shares
of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon such exercise thereof shall be
computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable on exercise of the Warrants so presented. The Company shall not be
required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of
Warrants. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the
provisions of this Section 3.16, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant (or
specified portion thereof), the Company may pay an amount in cash calculated by
it to be equal to the then Fair Market Value per Common Share multiplied by such
fraction computed to the nearest whole cent.
3.17 When Issuance or Payment May be Deferred. In any case in which this
Section 3 shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise Price be made
effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to
defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder with respect
to any Warrant exercised after such record date the shares of Common Stock and
other shares in the capital of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise
over and above the shares of Common Stock and other shares in the capital of the
Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise and (ii) paying such holder any
amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share; provided, however, that the
Company shall deliver to such Holder a due xxxx or other appropriate instrument
evidencing such Holder's right to receive such additional Common Stock, other
shares and cash upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
3.18 No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not by amendment of its
charter or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of
assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this Agreement, but will at all times in good
faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the
Holder against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Company will not (a) increase the par value
13
Exhibit B
of the Common Stock above the Exercise Price or (b) take any action that would,
after giving effect to the provisions of this Section 3, result in a reduction
of the Exercise Price to an amount below the par value per share of Common Stock
unless the Company takes all action necessary in order to protect the Holder
against dilution or other impairment as contemplated by this Section 3. At all
times, the Company will take all such action (including, without limitation,
reducing the par value of the Common Stock) as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue Common Stock upon the
exercise of the Warrants.
4. Transferability; Registration Rights.
4.1 Transferability. Prior to making any disposition of this Warrant or
of any Common Stock purchased upon the Warrant Exercise, the Holder will give
written notice (the "Transfer Notice") to the Company describing briefly the
manner of any such proposed disposition. The Holder will not make any such
disposition until: (a) the Company has notified the Holder that, in the opinion
of its counsel, registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"), is not required with respect to such disposition, or (b) a
registration statement covering the proposed distribution has been filed by the
Company and has become effective. The Holder then will make such disposition
only pursuant to the conditions of such opinion or registration. The Company
agrees that, upon receipt of the Transfer Notice, it will use its best efforts,
in consultation with the Holder's counsel, to ascertain as promptly as possible
whether or not registration is required, and will advise the Holder promptly
with respect thereto, and the Holder will cooperate in providing the Company
with information necessary to make such determination.
4.2 Registration Rights. The Holder shall have the registration rights
and obligations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated September
28, 2001, between the Company, the Holder and the Purchasers (as defined
therein).
5. Cashless Exercise Option.
5.1 Conversion. So long as the Fair Market Value is greater than the
Exercise Price, the Holder shall have the right to elect to effect exercises of
this Warrant through one or more transactions of a type commonly referred to as
a "cashless exercise" in conformity with the provisions of Regulation T of the
Federal Reserve Board of Governors (each a "Cashless Exercise"). In the event
of any such Cashless Exercise, it is understood that the Company will receive
payment of the Exercise Price in cash from the Holder or from the broker
selected by such Holder as described below. To effect a Cashless Exercise of
this Warrant, the Holder shall deliver to the Company and to a broker selected
by such Holder and acceptable to the Company in its reasonable discretion such
Holder's completed Warrant Exercise Form together with instructions for the
Company to deliver to such broker the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise,
14
Exhibit B
and the Company shall take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to
facilitate such Cashless Exercise, including (without limitation) to verify to
such broker that it will deliver, and to deliver, such Common Stock promptly to
such broker. Until such time as this Warrant is exercised in full or expires,
the Exercise Price and the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are
subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
5.2 Intentionally Left Blank.
5.3 Fair Market Value Defined. The "Fair Market Value" of one share of
Common Stock (the "Determination Date") shall mean:
(i) If the Common Stock is traded on an exchange or is quoted on the
Nasdaq National Market System or the Small Cap Market then the average closing
or last sale prices reported for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding
the Determination Date.
(ii) If the Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or on the Nasdaq
National Market System or the Small Cap Market but is traded in the over-the-
counter market, then the average of the closing bid and asked prices reported
for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Determination Date.
(iii) If the Common Stock is not publicly traded and there has been a
bona fide sale of such Common Stock for cash in an arm's length transaction
within forty-five (45) days prior to the Determination Date by the Company
privately to one or more investors unaffiliated with the Company (a "Qualifying
Sale"), then such most recent sales price.
(iv) If the Common Stock is not publicly traded and there has been no
Qualifying Sale, then the highest price per share which the Company could obtain
from a willing buyer in an arm's length transaction (not including a current
employee or director), as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the Company based on the written advice of a nationally recognized Independent
Financial Expert. For purposes of determining Fair Market Value in accordance
with this Section 5, an Independent Financial Expert means a Financial Expert
that does not (and, to the knowledge of the Company after due inquiry, whose
directors, executive officers and 5% stockholders do not) have a direct or
indirect financial interest in the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
Affiliates, which has not been for at least five years and, at the time that it
is called upon to give independent financial advice to the Company, is not (and,
to the knowledge of the Company after due inquiry, none of its directors,
executive officers or 5% stockholders is) a promoter, director or officer of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates.
15
Exhibit B
6. Notices.
6.1 Shareholder Notices. The Company shall mail to the Holder, at the
Holder's last known post office address appearing on the books of the Company,
not less than fifteen (l5) days prior to the date on which (a) a record will be
taken for the purpose of determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to
dividends (other than cash dividends) or subscription rights, or (b) a record
will be taken (or in lieu thereof, the transfer books will be closed) for the
purpose of determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to notice of and to
vote at a meeting of stockholders at which any capital reorganization,
reclassification of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
liquidation, winding up or sale of substantially all of the Company's assets
shall be considered and acted upon.
6.2 Other Notices. All notices or other communications to a party
required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered
personally or by telecopy (receipt confirmed) to such party (or, in the case of
an entity, to an executive officer of such party) or shall be sent by a
reputable express delivery service or by certified mail, postage prepaid with
return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

7. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve
and keep available such number of shares of its authorized but unissued Common
Stock deliverable upon exercise of the Warrants as will be sufficient to permit
the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. The Company represents,
warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock of the Company
that may be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants will, upon issuance, be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and not subject to
any calls for funds and free from pre-emptive rights and all taxes, liens,
charges and security interests with respect to the issue thereof.
8. Replacement. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in
the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement,
or bond reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the
case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company,
at its expense, will execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new Warrant
of like tenor.
9. Miscellaneous.
9.1 Common Stock. Whenever reference is made herein to the issue or sale
of shares of Common Stock, the term "Common Stock" shall include any stock of
any class of the Company other than preferred stock with a fixed limit on
dividends and a fixed amount payable in the event of voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
9.2 Survival. The representations, warranties and agreements herein
contained shall survive the exercise of this Warrant. References to the "holder
of" include the immediate holder of shares purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant, and the
17
Exhibit B
word "holder" shall include the plural thereof. This Warrant shall be
interpreted under the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to its
choice of law principles.
9.3 Validly Issued, Fully Paid. All shares of Common Stock or other
securities issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable, and the Company will pay all taxes in respect of
the issuer thereof.
9.4 Signatures. Signatures to this warrant may be manual or facsimile.
9.5 Warrant Holder Deemed Not a Stockholder. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Holder of this Warrant shall not be deemed
a stockholder (including, no right to vote on any matters coming before the
shareholders) of the Company for any purpose whatsoever unless and until this
Warrant is duly exercised.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Warrant has been duly executed this 28th day of
September, 2001.

ARTICLE 2
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
2.1 Required Registrations.
(a) The Company shall within 30 days of the Closing Date file with the SEC
a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis
pursuant to Rule 415 covering the sale of all of the Registrable Securities.
The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to
be declared effective under the Securities Act within 90 days of the Closing.
In the event that the Registration Statement is not declared effective within 90
days of the date of the Closing, and such holdup is not due to any Purchaser's
failure to provide company with information necessary to complete the
3
Exhibit C
Registration Statement by the filing date, the Company shall, on the 91st day
following the Closing and each 30th day thereafter, issue to each of the
Purchasers their ratable portion (based on the percentage of the Shares then
owned by them) of additional Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5% of the
shares purchased hereunder of Common Stock (subject to equitable adjustment to
reflect any subdivision or combination of the Company's Common Stock or the
payment of dividends payable in Common Stock or any other event in which such
adjustment is reasonably necessary to protect the rights of the Purchasers) (the
"Additional Warrants"), until either the sale of the Shares is registered or
there has occurred a Termination Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
total number of Additional Warrants paid to each Investor pursuant to this
Section 2.1(a) plus the number of Warrants purchased by such Investor at Closing
shall in no event exceed the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by such
Investor at Closing.
(b) The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 or another appropriate
form permitting registration of such Registrable Securities for resales by
holders in the manner or manners designated by them (including, without
limitation, one or more underwritten offerings). The Company shall not permit
any securities other than the Registrable Securities to be included in any
Registration Statement pursuant to which Registrable Securities are registered
without the consent of the Purchasers. The Company shall not grant any
registration rights to any party other than the Purchasers prior to such time as
the Registration Statement permitting registration of the Registrable Securities
for resale has been declared effective by the SEC, and registration rights that
are subordinate to the registration rights of the Purchasers and the Agent
granted hereunder; provided however, that the Company may grant registration
rights to Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx,
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx with respect to the 1,818,812
shares of Common Stock purchased by such persons pursuant to the Stock Purchase
Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2001, between the Company and such persons,
and/or register such 1,818,812 shares at any time, without the prior consent or
approval of the Holders. The Company shall use its best efforts to keep the
Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the
date which is two (2) years from the date of filing (the "Effectiveness Period")
or such shorter period ending when all Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration (i) Statement have been sold in the manner set forth and as
contemplated in the Registration Statement or (ii) may be sold without
limitation under Rule 144(k).
(c) If at any time prior to September 28, 2006 that the Registrable
Securities are not otherwise registered for sale, the Company proposes to
register any Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than in connection
with a business combination transaction or an employee benefit plan), and the
registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable
Securities, it will give prompt written notice to the Agent of its intention to
do so and of the Agent's rights hereunder. Upon the written request of the
Agent made within 15 days after the receipt of any such notice (which request
shall specify the number of Agent's Warrant Shares intended to be disposed of by
4
Exhibit C
the Agent and the intended method or methods of disposition thereof), the
Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration under the
Securities Act of all such Agent's Warrant Shares in accordance with such
intended method or methods of disposition.
(d) The Company agrees that, at any time but no more than once, upon the
request of the Agent, it will promptly file a Registration Statement (subject to
the requirements of Section 2.1(b)) with the SEC under the Securities Act for
sale in an underwritten public offering or otherwise the approximate number of
shares of Agent's Warrant Shares specified in such request. Such request shall
also specify the intended method or methods of disposition of such Registered
Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company's obligations to file (but
not its obligations to prepare) a Registration Statement pursuant to this
Section 2.1(d) may be suspended upon written notice to the Holders for up to 30
days if: (i) the fulfillment of such obligations would require the Company to
make a disclosure that would, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the
Company's board of directors, be detrimental to the Company and premature, or
(ii) the Company shall determine in good faith that such an offering will
materially interfere with a pending or contemplated financing, merger, sale of
assets, recapitalization or other similar corporate action of the Company and
the Company shall have furnished to the Agent an officers' certificate to that
effect. Such obligations shall be reinstated upon the expiration of such 30-day
period or, if earlier: (x) in the case of clause (i) above, upon the making of
such disclosure by the Company (or, if earlier, when such disclosure would
either no longer be necessary for the fulfillment of such obligations or no
longer be detrimental); or (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, not later than
30 days from the date of the request of the Agent under this Section 2.1(d).
(e) After receipt of notice of a requested registration pursuant to
Section 2.1(d), the Company shall not initiate, without the consent of the
Agent, a registration of any of its securities for its own account until 90 days
after such registration has been terminated or declared effective (unless
advised by the managing underwriter that a longer period, not to exceed 180
days, is required, or such shorter period as the managing underwriter may
agree).
(f) The Agent shall have the right to designate the managing underwriters,
which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for any underwritten
public offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.1
2.2 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in
connection with any registration under Section 2.1 shall be borne by the
Company, and Company shall reimburse the Purchasers for out-of-pocket expenses,
including legal fees and due diligence expenses in accordance with the terms of
Section 7.2 of the Stock Purchase Agreement. All Selling Expenses incurred in
connection with any such registration shall be borne by the Holder of the
securities so registered incurring such expense, unless all Holders have
consented to the Selling Expenses, in which case, such
5
Exhibit C
Selling Expenses shall be borne by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the
number of shares so registered.
2.3 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously
as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3, or
on such form as is then available to the Company in connection with such
registration, with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best
efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and, upon the
request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered
thereunder, keep such Registration Statement effective throughout the
Effectiveness Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may suspend
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement by written notice to the Holders
for a period not to exceed an aggregate of 15 days in any 90-day period (each
such period, a "Suspension Period") if:
(x) the SEC issues a stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement or initiates proceedings with respect to
the Registration Statement, or the Company receives any notification
with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the securities
included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or
(y) (i) an event occurs and is continuing as a result of which
the Registration Statement would, in the Company's reasonable
judgment, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading; and
(z) (ii) the Company reasonably determines that the disclosure
of such event at such time would have a material adverse effect on the
business of the Company (and its subsidiaries, if any, taken as a
whole);
provided that in the event the disclosure relates to a previously
undisclosed proposed or pending material business transaction, the
disclosure of which would impede the Company's ability to consummate such
transaction, the Company may extend a Suspension Period from 15 days to 30
days; provided, however, that Suspension Periods shall not exceed an
aggregate of 45 days in any 360-day period. If prior to or on the 15th or
30th day, as the case may be, of any Suspension Period, such suspension has
not been terminated, then, the Company shall, on the 20th or 35th day, as
the case may be, of any Suspension Period and each 30th day thereafter, pay
to each of the Purchasers their ratable portion (based
6
Exhibit C
on the percentage of the Shares then owned by them) of additional Warrants
to purchase an aggregate of 5% of the shares purchased hereunder of Common
Stock (subject to equitable adjustment to reflect any subdivision or
combination of the Company's Common Stock or the payment of dividends
payable in Common Stock or any other event in which such adjustment is
reasonably necessary to protect the rights of the purchasers) (the
"Suspension Warrants"), until either the Suspension Period is terminated or
there has occurred a Termination Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
total number of Suspension Warrants paid to each Investor pursuant to this
Section 2.3(a) plus the number of Warrants purchased by such Investor at
Closing, shall in no event exceed the number of Shares of Common Stock
purchased by such Investor at Closing.
(b) Furnish to each Holder copies of the Registration Statement (excluding
exhibits thereto) and any prospectus forming a part thereof and any amendments
and supplements thereto (including all documents incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference therein prior to the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement and including each preliminary prospectus) and any other prospectus
filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, which documents, other than
documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference, will be subject to
the reasonable review of the Holders for a period of not more than two (2)
business days; and the Company agrees to (i) incorporate in such documents any
comments from the Holders that reflect the correction of what any Holder
reasonably believes to be a material misstatement or omission of a material fact
with respect to such Holder or its plan of resale, and (ii) make reasonable
efforts to incorporate any other reasonable comments of any Holder in such
documents.
(c) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
Registration Statement.
(d) Furnish to each Holder one conformed copy of the Registration
Statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case excluding
exhibits) and such number of copies of the prospectus forming a part of the
Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and any other
prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and such other
documents, including, without limitation, documents incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference prior to the effectiveness of such registration
statement, as each of the Holders from time to time may reasonably request;
(e) Use its reasonable best efforts (i) to register or qualify all
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under state
securities, or "blue sky," laws of such States of the United States of America
as the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement
shall reasonably request, (ii) to keep
7
Exhibit C
such registration or qualification in effect for so long as the Registration
Statement remains in effect, and (iii) to take any other action which may be
reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Holders to consummate the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities to be sold by the Holders,
consistent with the plan of distribution described in the prospectus included in
the Registration Statement, except that the Company shall not for any such
purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation
in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified, or to subject itself to
taxation in any such jurisdiction, or to execute a general consent to service of
process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance, unless the
Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be
required by the Securities Act or applicable rules or regulations thereunder;
(f) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder
participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement.
(g) Subject to Section 3.4 hereof, promptly notify each Holder of
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement (i) upon discovery
that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus
forming a part of the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) of the
issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings for that purpose, (iii)
of any request by the Commission for (A) amendments to the Registration
Statement or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement or (B) supplements to the prospectus forming a
part of the Registration Statement, or (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, and at the
request of any such Holder promptly prepare and file an amendment to the
Registration Statement or a supplement to the prospectus as the Company may deem
necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities,
such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading and furnish to each Holder a reasonable number of copies of
such supplement to, or amendment of, such prospectus and, in the event of a stop
order, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or the lifting of
any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of
the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction;
8
Exhibit C
(h) Furnish, at the request of a majority of the Holders participating in
the registration, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to
the underwriters for sale, if such Registrable Securities are being sold through
underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on
the date that the Registration Statement with respect to such securities becomes
effective, an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the
Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is
customarily given with respect to such registration and reasonably satisfactory
to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to
the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of
Registrable Securities.
(i) To the extent practicable, promptly upon the filing of any document
that is to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or
prospectus forming a part thereof subsequent to the effectiveness thereof, and
in any event no later than five (5) business days after such document is filed
with the Commission, provide copies of such document to the Holders, if
requested; and
(j) Use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities included in
the Registration Statement to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market or each
securities exchange on which securities of the same class are then listed, or,
if not then listed on any securities exchange, to be eligible for trading in any
over-the-counter market or trading system in which securities of the same class
are then traded.
2.4 Termination of Registration Rights. All registration rights granted
under this Article 2 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect after
the Effectiveness Period or such shorter period ending when all Registrable
Securities covered by the registration (i) have been sold in the manner set
forth and as contemplated in the Registration Statement or (ii) may be sold
without limitation under Rule 144(k), other than as it relates to Section 2.7
herein.
2.5 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or
seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as
the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the
interpretation or implementation of this Article 2.6.
2.6 Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a
Registration Statement under Section 2.1:
(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the
partners, officers, trustees, members, partners and directors of each
Holder, and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and each underwriter for
any Holder, if any, and each person, if any, who controls any underwriter
within the meaning of the
9
Exhibit C
Securities Act or the Exchange Act (together, "Indemnified Person"),
against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, (including in
settlement of litigation) (or actions, investigations or proceedings in
respect thereof) (collectively, a "Claim") (joint or several) to which they
may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other
federal or state law, 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
"Company Violation") by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration
Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein, or other document (including any related registration
statement, notification or the like) incident to the registration,
qualification or compliance, or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii)
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any
violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state
securities law, or any other law in connection with the offering covered by
such Registration Statement; and the Company will reimburse each
Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section
2.6(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 Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), nor shall the Company 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 Company Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in
connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer,
director, or controlling person of such Holder.
(b) Each selling Holder, if Registrable Securities held by it are
included in the securities as to which such Registration Statement is being
effected, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its
officers and directors, each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and each
underwriter, if any, and each person, if any, who controls any underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and any other
Holder selling securities under such Registration Statement or any of such
other Holder's partners, directors, or officers or any person who controls
such Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or
several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, underwriter,
controlling person, or other such Holder, or partner,
10
Exhibit C
director, officer, or controlling person of such other Holder may become
subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or
state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any of the
following statements, omissions or violations (collectively, a "Holder
Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in such 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 Holder of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act,
any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities law in connection
with the offering covered by such Registration Statement, in each case to
the extent (and only to the extent) that such Holder Violation occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such
Holder and stated to be specifically for use in connection with such
registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer,
underwriter, controlling person, or other Holder, or partner, officer,
director, or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or
action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 2.6(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 Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnity under
this Section 2.6(b) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such
Holder unless the Holder Violation is the result of fraud on the part of
such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
2.6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental
action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.6, 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
counsel for the indemnified party who shall conduct the defense of such
action, shall be approved by the indemnifying party, provided further,
however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
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
11
Exhibit C
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
materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve
such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under
this Section 2.6, 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 2.6.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.6 is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified
party with respect to any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities referred
to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such loss, claim, damage, or liability 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
Company Violation(s) or the Holder Violation(s), as the case may be, that
resulted in such loss, claim, damage, or liability, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying
party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law 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 Company and Holders under this Section 2.6
shall survive the termination or closing of any offering in a Registration
Statement, and otherwise.
ARTICLE 3
OTHER PROVISIONS
3.1 Investor Information. Whenever the Company is required to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities, each Investor shall, upon request by
the Company, provide all information reasonably requested by the Company for use

EXHIBIT D
FORM OF OPINION OF
WOLF, BLOCK, XXXXXX and XXXXX-XXXXX LLP
September 28, 2001
We have acted as counsel for RMH Teleservices, Inc., a Pennsylvania
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the execution and/or delivery of
(i) a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of September
28, 2001, among the Company and the investors named therein (the "Investors"),
(ii) a Registration Rights Agreement ("Registration Rights Agreement"), dated as
of September 28, 2001, among the Company, the purchasers named therein, and
ThinkEquity Partners, LLC, and (iii) Common Stock Purchase Warrants to be
purchased by the Investors (the "Warrants") (the Purchase Agreement,
Registration Rights Agreement and Warrants are collectively referred to herein
as the "Transaction Documents"). All capitalized terms used herein without
definition are used herein with the respective meanings ascribed to them in the
Purchase Agreement. This opinion is being delivered to you pursuant to Section
5.2 of the Purchase Agreement.
In rendering this opinion, we have examined executed counterparts or
copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the
Transaction Documents, certificates of public officials and of officers of the
Company with respect to the accuracy of factual matters contained therein, and
the other agreements, instruments and certificates being delivered at the
closing being held today. We have also examined and considered such corporate
records of the Company and each of its subsidiaries and such matters of law as
we have deemed appropriate to render our opinion.
As to various questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied,
without independent investigation, upon the representations set forth in the
Transaction Documents of the parties thereto, and upon certificates of officers
and other representatives of such parties as well as upon the certificates and
electronic communications delivered in connection with the Transaction
Documents, copies of which you have received at closing. We have made no
independent factual investigation with respect to such matters.
We have assumed that any Transaction Document will be construed and
enforced in accordance with Pennsylvania law if Pennsylvania law is specified as
governing such Transaction Document or if such Document does not specify the law
to be used for such purpose. We have also assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the
conformity with authentic originals of all
Exhibit D
documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with authentic originals
of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of certificates
of public officials. We have also assumed with respect to each party other than
the Company (i) that each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by each party thereto, (ii) that each such party has full
legal right, capacity, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is party or by the terms
of which it is bound, and (iii) that the Transaction Documents are legal, valid
and binding obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with
their terms.
Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and limitations
set forth below, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is subsisting as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
2. The Company has corporate power and authority to own, lease and
operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the
Compendium of Public Filing Documents delivered to each of the Investors (the
"Compendium") and to enter into and perform its obligations under the
Transaction Documents.
3. The shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock to be
purchased upon the exercise of any Warrants) and the Warrants to be purchased by
the Investors from the Company have been duly authorized for issuance and sale
to the Investors pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Warrants, and, when
issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the
Warrants, against payment of the consideration set forth in the Purchase
Agreement and the Warrants, will be validly issued and fully paid and non-
assessable.
4. No securityholder of the Company has, pursuant to the terms of the
Articles of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company, any statute, or any rules of
The NASDAQ National Market, any preemptive, approval or similar rights or
authority pertaining to the issuance, sale and purchase of (i) the shares of
Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, or (ii) the Warrants.
5. Each subsidiary of the Company has been duly incorporated and is
validly existing or subsisting as a corporation in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has corporate power and authority to
own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as presently
being conducted; except where the failure so to be in good standing could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; except as
otherwise disclosed in the Compendium, all of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of each subsidiary has been duly authorized and validly issued, is fully
paid and non-assessable and, to our knowledge, is owned by the Company,
2
Exhibit D
directly or through subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest,
mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, claim or equity other than the pledge of
the equity interests in such subsidiaries in favor of PNC Bank, N.A., securing
obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries thereto; none of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of any subsidiary was issued in violation of the
preemptive or similar rights of any securityholder of such subsidiary set forth
in the Articles of Incorporation (or comparable governing document) or bylaws of
the subsidiary.
6. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by the Company, and constitutes a valid and legally binding
obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its
terms, except to the extent that such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
arrangement, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally and by general equitable principles (whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law) and, in the case of the Registration Rights
Agreement, except to the extent that the indemnification provisions thereof may
be unenforceable; and all corporate action required to be taken for the due and
proper authorization, execution and delivery of each of the Transaction
Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby has been
duly and validly taken.
7. Each of the Transaction Documents conforms in all material respects to
the description thereof contained in the Compendium and the shares of Common
Stock and Warrants conform in all material respects to the description thereof
contained in the Compendium.
8. Based in part on the representations of the Investors in the Stock
Purchase Agreement, except for (a) the listing of the Shares and the Warrant
Shares on The NASDAQ National Market, (b) post-closing filings with the
Commission and (c) post-closing filings as may be necessary to comply with the
"blue sky" laws of various states, no filing with, or authorization, approval,
consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or
governmental authority or agency, domestic or foreign, is necessary or required
in connection with the due authorization, execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents or for the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the
shares of Common Stock and the Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Transaction
Documents.
9. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein (including the
issuance and sale of the Common Stock and the Warrants, and the use of the
proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock and the Warrants as described in the
Compendium) and compliance by the Company with its obligations under the
Transaction Documents do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of
notice or lapse of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or
default under or result in the creation or
3
Exhibit D
imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the
Company or any subsidiary pursuant to any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or any other agreement or
instrument, known to us, to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or by
which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets
of the Company or any subsidiary is subject and which is listed as an exhibit to
the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2000 or listed as an
exhibit to any documents filed with the Commission after the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended June 30, 2000 (except for such conflicts, breaches or
defaults or liens, charges or encumbrances that could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect), nor will such action result in any violation
of the provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Company or any subsidiary, or
any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree,
known to us, of any government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or
foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any subsidiary or any of their
respective properties, assets or operations.
10. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is an "investment
company" or an entity "controlled" by an "investment company," as such terms are
defined in the 1940 Act.
11. Based in part on the representations of the Investors in the Stock
Purchase Agreement, no registration of the Securities under the Securities Act
is required in connection with the issuance and sale of the shares of Common
Stock and the Warrants by the Company in the manner contemplated by the
Transaction Documents.
Wherever we have stated that we have assumed any matter, it is intended to
indicate that we have assumed such matter without making any factual, legal or
other inquiry or investigation, and without expressing any opinion or conclusion
of any kind concerning such matter.
Whenever our opinion herein with respect to the existence or absence of
facts is qualified by the phrase "to our knowledge" or words of similar import,
it is intended to indicate that no information has come to the attention of
lawyers currently with our Firm who have worked on the transactions contemplated
by the Agreement which would give us actual knowledge of the existence or
absence of such fact, as appropriate. Moreover, we have not undertaken any
independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts,
and any limited inquiries made by us during the preparation of this opinion
should not be regarded as such an investigation. No inference as to our
knowledge of any matters bearing on the accuracy of any such statement should be
drawn from the fact of our representation of the Company.
Our examination of law relevant to the matters covered in this opinion is
limited to federal law and the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the
Delaware
4
Exhibit D
General Corporation Law. We express no opinion with respect to matters governed
by the laws of any other jurisdiction. We also express no opinion with respect
to matters relating to RMH Teleservices International, Inc. or 000xxx.xxx GP,
LLC.
This opinion speaks only as of the date hereof and we do not have, nor do
we assume, any obligation to advise you of any changes in facts or in applicable
laws which may affect our opinion.
This opinion is solely for the benefit of the addressees hereof for use in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and may not be
relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose without our express
written consent.
Sincerely,
