2.1. Manner of Exercise; Payment of the Purchase Price. (a)
This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, at any time or
from time to time prior to the Expiration Date, by surrendering to the Company
at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Company as the
Company may designate in a written notice to the Holder) this Warrant, together
with the form of Election to Purchase Shares attached hereto as Exhibit A (or a
reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by the Holder and accompanied by
payment of the Purchase Price as described below for the number of shares of
Common Stock specified in such form.
(b) Payment of the Purchase Price may be made in United States
currency by cash or delivery of a certified check or bank draft payable to the
order of the Company or by wire transfer to the account of the Company.
2.2. 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, and
the Purchase Price shall have been received by, the Company as provided in
Section 2.1, and at such time the Person or Persons in whose name or names any
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 2.3 shall be deemed
to have become the holder or holders of record thereof for all purposes.
2.3. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc.; Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. Subject to Section 2.5 (a) As soon as practicable after each exercise
of this Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event within five Business Days
thereafter, the Company shall cause to be issued in such denominations as may be
requested by Holder in the Election to Purchase Shares, in the name of and
delivered to the Holder or, subject the Purchase Agreement, as the Holder may
direct,
(i) a certificate or certificates, or, if then permissible
under the Securities Act, at the Holder's request to electronically
issue such shares (e.g., through DWAC or DTC), for the number of shares
of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which the Holder shall be
entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of issuance of any fractional
share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, if any, a check
for the amount of cash equal to the same fraction multiplied by the
Current Market Price per share on the date of Warrant exercise,
provided, however, that in the event sufficient funds are not legally
available for the payment of such amount, the number of shares of
Common Stock which such certificate(s) represents shall be rounded up
to the nearest whole number, and
(ii) in case such exercise is for less than all of the shares
of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant, a new Warrant or
Warrants of like tenor, for the balance of the shares of Common Stock
purchasable hereunder.
(b) Issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof
for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense, in respect of the
5
issuance of such certificates, all of which such taxes and expenses shall be
paid by the Company, except that any tax or expense payable as a result of the
issuance of such certificates in a name other than that of the Holder shall be
paid by the Holder.
2.4. Company to Reaffirm Obligations. The Company shall, at
the time of each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder
hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such
Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such
exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if the
Holder of this Warrant shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall
not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford such rights to the
Holder.
2.5. Exercise Disputes. In the case of any dispute with
respect to the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the
Company shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock that is not
disputed and shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations
to the Holder via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the
Holder's Election to Purchase Shares. If the Holder and the Company are unable
to agree as to the determination of such number of shares within two (2)
Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being
submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall in accordance with this Section,
submit via facsimile the disputed determination to an independent reputable
accounting firm of national standing, selected jointly by the Company and the
Holder. The Company shall cause such accounting firm to perform the
determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the
results within forty-eight (48) hours from the time it receives the disputed
determinations or calculations. Such accounting firm's determination shall be
binding upon all parties absent manifest error. The Company shall then on the
next Business Day issue certificate(s) representing the appropriate number of
shares of Common Stock in accordance with such accounting firm's determination
and this Section. All fees and expenses of such determination and calculation
shall be borne by the Company.
2.6. Failure to Deliver Common Stock If, at any time, the
Holder of this Warrant submits this Warrant, an Election to Purchase Shares and
payment to the Company of the Purchase Price for each of the shares of Common
Stock specified in the Election to Purchase Shares in accordance with Section
2.1 above, and the Company, for any reason, fails to deliver, on or prior to the
last possible date which the Company could have issued such Common Stock to the
Holder without violating this Section 2, the number of shares of Common Stock
for which the Holder is entitled upon such exercise, the Company shall pay
damages to the Holder equal to the greater of (a) actual damages incurred by the
Holder as a result of the Holder's needing to "buy in" shares of Common Stock to
the extent necessary to satisfy its securities delivery requirements ("Buy In
Actual Damages") and (b) if the Company fails to deliver such certificates
within five days after the last possible date on which the Company could have
issued such Common Stock to the Holder without violating this Section 2, on each
date such exercise is not timely effected in an amount equal to 1% of the
product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on
a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (ii) the Closing Bid
Price of the Common Stock on the last possible date which the Company could have
issued such Common Stock to the Holder without violating this Section 2.

3. Adjustment of Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise.
-------------------------------------------------
3.1. Adjustment of Number of Shares.
------------------------------
Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a
result of the calculations made in this Section 3, this Warrant shall thereafter
evidence the right to receive, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of
shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth) obtained by
dividing (i) the product of the aggregate number of shares covered by this
Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment of the Purchase Price by (ii) the Purchase
Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of the Purchase Price.
3.2. Adjustment of Purchase Price.
----------------------------
3.2.1. Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In case
the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue
or sell Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common
Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4 but excluding
Additional Shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of Rights referred
to in Section 3.10), without consideration or for a consideration per share less
than the fair market value of such additional shares of Common Stock as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company as in effect
immediately prior to such issue or sale, then, and in each such case, subject to
Section 3.8, the Purchase Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue
or sale, to a price (calculated to the nearest .001 of a cent) determined by
multiplying such Purchase Price by a fraction
(a) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue
or sale and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock which the gross
consideration received by the Company for the total number of such
Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold would purchase at
such Current Market Price, and
(b) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, provided
that, for the purposes of this Section 3.2.1, (x) immediately after any
Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to have been issued
pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4, such Additional Shares shall be deemed
to be outstanding, and (y) treasury shares shall not be deemed to be
outstanding.
3.2.2. Extraordinary Dividends and Distributions. In case the
Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall declare,
order, pay or make a dividend or other distribution (including, without
limitation, any distribution of other or additional stock or other securities or
property or Options by way of dividend or spin-off, reclassification,
recapitalization or similar corporate rearrangement) on the Common Stock (other
than a cash dividend payable out of earnings), then, in each such case, subject
to Section 3.8, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the close of
business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of any class
7
of securities entitled to receive such dividend or distribution shall be
reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price
determined by multiplying such Purchase Price by a fraction
(x) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price
in effect on such record date or, if the Common Stock trades on an
ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend
trading, less the Fair Value of such dividend or distribution
applicable to one share of Common Stock, and
(y) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market
Price.
3.3. Treatment of Options and Convertible Securities. In case
the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue,
sell, grant or assume, or shall fix a record date for the determination of
holders of any class of securities of the Company entitled to receive, any
Options or Convertible Securities (whether or not the rights thereunder are
immediately exercisable), then, and in each such case, the maximum number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating
thereto, without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent
adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the
case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange
of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of
Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue, sale, grant or assumption or,
in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on
such record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on the
date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading), provided that such
Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless
(i) the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 3.5) of such
shares would be less than the fair market value of such shares as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company as in effect on the date of
and immediately prior to such issue, sale, grant or assumption or immediately
prior to the close of business on such record date (or, if the Common Stock
trades on an ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of
ex-dividend trading), as the case may be and (ii) such Additional Shares of
Common Stock are not purchasable pursuant to Rights referred to in Section 3.10,
and provided, further, that
(a) whether or not the Additional Shares of Common Stock
underlying such Options or Convertible Securities are deemed to be
issued, no further adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made upon
the subsequent issue or sale of Convertible Securities or shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities;
(b) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the
consideration payable to the Company, or decrease in the number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof (by change of rate or otherwise), the
Purchase Price computed upon the original issue, sale, grant or
assumption thereof (or upon the occurrence of the record date, or date
prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading, as the case may be,
with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon,
8
shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be
recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects
such Options, or the rights of conversion or exchange under such
Convertible Securities, which are outstanding at such time;
(c) upon the expiration or termination (or purchase by the
Company and cancellation or retirement) of any such Options which shall
not have been exercised or the expiration of any rights of conversion
or exchange under any such Convertible Securities which (or purchase by
the Company and cancellation or retirement of any such Convertible
Securities the rights of conversion or exchange under which) shall not
have been exercised, the Purchase Price computed upon the original
issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof (or upon the occurrence of the
record date, or date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading,
as the case may be, with respect thereto), and any subsequent
adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration (or such
cancellation or retirement, as the case may be), be recomputed as if:
(i) in the case of Options for Common Stock or
Convertible Securities, the only Additional Shares of Common
Stock issued or sold were the Additional Shares of Common
Stock, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of
such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities and the consideration received therefor was the
consideration actually received by the Company for the issue,
sale, grant or assumption of all such Options, whether or not
exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the
Company upon such exercise, or for the issue or sale of all
such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or
exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually
received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, and
(ii) in the case of Options for Convertible
Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually
issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options were issued
at the time of the issue or sale, grant or assumption of such
Options, and the consideration received by the Company for the
Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have then been
issued was the consideration actually received by the Company
for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of all such Options,
whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to
have been received by the Company (pursuant to Section 3.5)
upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities with
respect to which such Options were actually exercised;
(d) no readjustment pursuant to subdivision (b) or (c) above
shall have the effect of increasing the Purchase Price by an amount in
excess of the amount of the adjustment thereof originally made in
respect of the issue, sale, grant or assumption of such Options or
Convertible Securities; and
(e) in the case of any such Options which expire by their
terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue, sale, grant or
assumption thereof, no adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made
9
until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such
adjustment shall be made in the manner provided in subdivision (c)
above.
3.4. Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc. In case
the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall declare
or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, or shall effect
a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a
dividend in Common Stock), then, and in each such case, Additional Shares of
Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued (a) in the case of any such
dividend, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the
determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such
dividend, or (b) in the case of any such subdivision, at the close of business
on the day immediately prior to the day upon which such corporate action becomes
effective.
3.5. Computation of Consideration. For the purposes of
this Section 3,
(a) the consideration for the issue or sale of any
Additional Shares of Common Stock shall, irrespective of the accounting
treatment of such consideration,
(i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at
the amount of cash received by the Company, without deducting
any expenses paid or incurred by the Company or any
commissions or compensation paid or concessions or discounts
allowed to underwriters, dealers or others performing similar
services in connection with such issue or sale,
(ii) insofar as it consists of property (including
securities) other than cash, be computed at the Fair Value
thereof at the time of such issue or sale, and
(iii) in case Additional Shares of Common Stock are
issued or sold together with other stock or securities or
other assets of the Company for a consideration which covers
both, be the portion of such consideration so received,
computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, allocable
to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, such allocation to
be determined in the same manner that the Fair Value of
property not consisting of cash or securities is to be
determined as provided in the definition of "Fair Value"
herein;
(b) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued pursuant to Section 3.3, relating to Options and Convertible
Securities, shall be deemed to have been issued for a consideration per
share determined by dividing
(i) the total amount, if any, received and receivable
by the Company as consideration for the issue, sale, grant or
assumption of the Options or Convertible Securities in
question, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating
thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for
a subsequent adjustment of such consideration to protect
against dilution) payable to the Company upon the exercise in
10
full of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options for
Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for
Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities, in each case computing such
consideration as provided in the foregoing subdivision (a),
by
(ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as
set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard
to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment
of such number to protect against dilution) issuable upon the
exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities; and
(c) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued pursuant to Section 3.4, relating to stock dividends, stock
splits, etc., shall be deemed to have been issued for no consideration.
3.6. Adjustments for Combinations, etc. In case the
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated,
by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of
Common Stock, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness
of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
3.7. Dilution in Case of Other Securities. In case any Other
Securities shall be issued or sold or shall become subject to issue or
sale upon the conversion or exchange of any stock (or Other Securities)
of the Company (or any issuer of Other Securities or any other Person
referred to in Section 4) or to subscription, purchase or other
acquisition pursuant to any Options issued or granted by the Company
(or any such other issuer or Person) for a consideration such as to
dilute, on a basis consistent with the standards established in the
other provisions of this Section 3, the purchase rights granted by this
Warrant, then, and in each such case, the computations, adjustments and
readjustments provided for in this Section 3 with respect to the
Purchase Price and the number of shares purchasable upon Warrant
exercise shall be made as nearly as possible in the manner so provided
and applied to determine the amount of Other Securities from time to
time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants, so as to protect the
holders of the Warrants against the effect of such dilution.
3.8. De Minimis Adjustments. If the amount of any adjustment
of the Purchase Price per share required pursuant to this Section 3 would be
less than $.01, such amount shall be carried forward and adjustment with respect
thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which,
together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward,
shall aggregate a change in the Purchase Price of at least $.01 per share. All
calculations under this Warrant shall be made to the nearest .001 of a cent or
to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
11
3.9. Abandoned Dividend or Distribution. If the Company shall
take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling
them to receive a dividend or other distribution (which results in an adjustment
to the Purchase Price under the terms of this Warrant) and shall, thereafter,
and before such dividend or distribution is paid or delivered to stockholders
entitled thereto, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or
distribution, then any adjustment made to the Purchase Price and number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable upon Warrant exercise by reason of the taking
of such record shall be reversed, and any subsequent adjustments, based thereon,
shall be recomputed.
3.10. Shareholder Rights Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that the Company shall distribute "poison pill" rights pursuant to
a "poison pill" shareholder rights plan (the "Rights"), the Company shall, in
lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to Section 3.2.1 or Section 3.2.2 hereof,
make proper provision so that each Holder who exercises a Warrant after the
record date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of
the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise, in addition to the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, a number of Rights to be
determined as follows: (i) if such exercise occurs on or prior to the date for
the distribution to the holders of Rights of separate certificates evidencing
such Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of Rights to which a
holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise at the time of such exercise would be
entitled in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the
Rights; and (ii) if such exercise occurs after the Distribution Date, the same
number of Rights to which a holder of the number of shares into which the
Warrant so exercised was exercisable immediately prior to the Distribution Date
would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms
and provisions of and applicable to the Rights, and in each case subject to the
terms and conditions of the Rights.
4. Consolidation, Merger, etc.
--------------------------
4.1. Adjustments for Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets,
Reorganization, etc. In case the Company after the date hereof (a) shall
consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing
or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) shall permit
any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company and the Company
shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such
consolidation or merger, the Common Stock or Other Securities shall be changed
into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person or cash or
any other property, or (c) shall transfer all or substantially all of its
properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) shall effect a capital
reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock or Other Securities
(other than a capital reorganization or reclassification resulting in the issue
of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which adjustment in the Purchase Price
is provided in Section 3.2.1 or 3.2.2), then, and in the case of each such
transaction, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the
terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant,
upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such transaction
shall be entitled to receive (at the aggregate Purchase Price in effect at the
time of such consummation for all Common Stock or Other Securities issuable upon
such exercise immediately prior to such consummation), in lieu of the Common
Stock or Other Securities issuable upon such exercise prior to such
consummation, the amount of securities, cash or other property to which such
Holder would actually have been entitled as a stockholder upon such consummation
12
if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to
adjustments (subsequent to such consummation) as nearly equivalent as possible
to the adjustments provided for in Sections 3 through 5.
4.2. Assumption of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything
contained in the Warrants or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the
Company shall not effect any of the transactions described in clauses (a)
through (d) of Section 4.1 unless, prior to the consummation thereof, each
Person (other than the Company) which may be required to deliver any stock,
securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided
herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably
satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (a) the obligations of the Company
under this Warrant (and if the Company shall survive the consummation of such
transaction, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the
Company from, any continuing obligations of the Company under this Warrant), (b)
the obligations of the Company under the Purchase Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement and (c) the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of
stock, securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4, the Holder may be entitled to receive. Nothing in
this Section 4 shall be deemed to authorize the Company to enter into any
transaction not otherwise permitted by the Purchase Agreement.
5. Other Dilutive Events. In case any event shall occur as to
which the provisions of Section 3 or Section 4 hereof are not strictly
applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase
rights of the Holder in accordance with the essential intent and principles of
such Sections, then, in each such case, the Board of Directors of the Company
shall make an adjustment in the application of such provisions, in accordance
with such essential intent and principles, so as to preserve, without dilution,
the purchase rights represented by this Warrant.
6. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company shall not, by
amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any consolidation,
merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect
the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) shall not
permit the par value of any shares of stock receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant to exceed the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, (b) shall take
all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of stock, free
from all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances, preemptive rights and
charges on the exercise of the Warrants from time to time outstanding, (c) shall
not take any action which results in any adjustment of the Purchase Price if the
total number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable after the
action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would exceed the total number of
shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) then authorized by the Company's
certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of issue upon such
exercise, and (d) shall not issue any capital stock of any class which is
preferred as to dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, unless the rights of the
holders thereof shall be limited to a fixed sum or percentage of par value or a
sum determined by reference to a formula based on a published index of interest
rates, an interest rate publicly announced by a financial institution or a
similar indicator of interest rates in respect of participation in dividends and
to a fixed sum or percentage of par value in any such distribution of assets.
13
7. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any
adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall
promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of
this Warrant and prepare a certificate, signed by the Chairman of the Board,
President or one of the Vice Presidents of the Company, and by the Chief
Financial Officer, the Treasurer or one of the Assistant Treasurers of the
Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable
detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the
consideration received or to be received by the Company for any Additional
Shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued, (b) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and
(c) the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as
adjusted and readjusted (if required by Section 3) on account thereof. The
Company shall forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to each holder of a
Warrant. The Company shall also keep copies of all such certificates at its
principal office and shall cause the same to be available for inspection at such
office during normal business hours by any holder of a Warrant or any
prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the holder thereof. The Company
shall, upon the reasonable request in writing of the Holder (at the Company's
expense), retain independent public accountants of recognized national standing
selected by the Board of Directors of the Company to make any computation
required in connection with adjustments under this Warrant, and a certificate
signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such
adjustment, which shall be binding on the Holder and the Company.
8. Notices of Corporate Action. In the event of:
---------------------------
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of
any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders
thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution,
or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares
of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to
receive any other right, or
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the
Company, any consolidation or merger involving the Company and any
other Person, any transaction or series of transactions in which more
than 50% of the voting securities of the Company are transferred to
another Person, or any transfer, sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all the assets of the Company to any other Person, or
14
(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company,
the Company shall mail to each holder of a Warrant a notice specifying (i) the
date or expected date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of
such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right, and (ii) the date or expected date on which any
such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger,
transfer, sale, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take
place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of
record of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be entitled to exchange their
shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) for the securities or other
property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least 20 days prior to the date
therein specified but in no event earlier than the public announcement of such
proposed transaction or event.
9. Registration of Common Stock. If any shares of Common Stock
required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of this Warrant require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or
state law (other than the Securities Act) before such shares may be issued upon
exercise, the Company shall, at its expense and as expeditiously as possible,
use its best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, as
the case may be. At any such time as Common Stock is listed on any national
securities exchange or trade market, the Company shall, at its expense, obtain
promptly and maintain the approval for listing on each such exchange or trade
market, upon official notice of issuance, the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the then outstanding Warrants and maintain the listing of such
shares after their issuance; and the Company shall also list on such national
securities exchange or trade market, shall register under the Exchange Act and
shall maintain such listing of, any Other Securities that at any time are
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, if and at the time that any securities
of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange or trade
market by the Company.
10. Reservation of Stock, etc. The Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of
the Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from
time to time issuable upon exercise of all Warrants at the time outstanding and
otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. All shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon exercise of any Warrants 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, and, in the case of all securities, shall be
free from all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances, preemptive rights
and charges. The transfer agent for the Common Stock, which may be the Company
(the "Transfer Agent"), and every subsequent Transfer Agent for any shares of
the Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of any of the purchase
rights represented by this Warrant, are hereby irrevocably authorized and
directed at all times until the Expiration Date to reserve such number of
authorized and unissued shares as shall be requisite for such purpose. The
Company shall keep copies of this Warrant on file with the Transfer Agent for
the Common Stock and with every subsequent Transfer Agent for any shares of the
Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase
represented by this Warrant. The Company shall supply such Transfer Agent with
duly executed stock certificates for such purpose. All Warrant Certificates
surrendered upon the exercise of the rights thereby evidenced shall be canceled,
15
and such canceled Warrants shall constitute sufficient evidence of the number of
shares of stock which have been issued upon the exercise of such Warrants.
Subsequent to the Expiration Date, no shares of stock need be reserved in
respect of any unexercised Warrant.
11. Registration and Transfer of Warrants, etc.
11.1. Warrant Register; Ownership of Warrants. Each Warrant
issued by the Company shall be numbered and shall be registered in a warrant
register (the "Warrant Register") as it is issued and transferred, which Warrant
Register shall be maintained by the Company at its principal office or, at the
Company's election and expense, by a Warrant Agent or the Company's transfer
agent. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered Holder of any
Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes
and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest
in such Warrant on the part of any other Person, and shall not be affected by
any notice to the contrary, except that, if and when any Warrant is properly
assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) treat the
bearer thereof as the owner of such Warrant for all purposes. A Warrant, if
properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder without a new Warrant first
having been issued.
11.2. Transfer of Warrants. If applicable, this Warrant and
all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part, without charge to the
Holder hereof (except for any transfer taxes payable with respect thereto), upon
surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed Form of Assignment attached
hereto as Exhibit B at the principal office of the Company (or such other office
or agency of the Company as it may in writing designate to the Holder). Upon any
partial transfer, the Company shall at its expense issue and deliver to the
Holder a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Holder, which shall be
exercisable for such number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which
rights under this Warrant were not so transferred and to the transferee a new
Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the transferee, which shall be exercisable
for such number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which rights under
this Warrant were so transferred.
11.3. Replacement of Warrants. On receipt by the Company of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably
satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such
mutilation, on surrender of such Warrant to the Company at its principal office
and cancellation thereof, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver,
in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
11.4. Adjustments To Purchase Price and Number of Shares.
Notwithstanding any adjustment in the Purchase Price or in the number or kind of
shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, any Warrant
theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same number and
kind of shares of Common Stock as are stated in this Warrant, as initially
issued.
16
11.5. Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any adjustment
pursuant to Section 3 in the number of shares of Common Stock covered by this
Warrant or any other provision of this Warrant, the Company shall not be
required to issue fractions of shares upon exercise of this Warrant or to
distribute certificates which evidence fractional shares. In lieu of fractional
shares, the Company shall make payment to the Holder, at the time of exercise of
this Warrant as herein provided, in an amount in cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the Current Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of
Warrant exercise.
12. Remedies; Specific Performance. The Company stipulates
that there would be no adequate remedy at law to the Holder of this Warrant in
the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance
of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant and accordingly, the
Company agrees that, in addition to any other remedy to which the Holder may be
entitled at law or in equity, the Holder shall be entitled to seek to compel
specific performance of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant,
without the posting of any bond, in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Warrant in any court of the United States or any State thereof having
jurisdiction, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of
the provisions of this Warrant, the Company shall not raise the defense that
there is an adequate remedy at law. Except as otherwise provided by law, a delay
or omission by the Holder hereof in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon
any such breach shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of
or acquiescence in any such breach. No remedy shall be exclusive of any other
remedy. All available remedies shall be cumulative.
13. No Rights or Liabilities as Shareholder. Nothing contained
in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder hereof any
rights as a stockholder of the Company or as imposing any obligation on the
Holder to purchase any securities or as imposing any liabilities on the Holder
as a stockholder of the Company, whether such obligation or liabilities are
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
14. Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other
communications required or permitted to be given hereunder must be in writing
and will be deemed to have been delivered (i) upon receipt, when delivered
personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile, provided a copy is mailed
by U.S. certified mail, return receipt requested; (iii) three (3) days after

amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, and waivers or consents to

instrument duly executed by the party against which enforcement of such
amendment, modification, supplement, termination or consent to departure is
sought.
16. Descriptive Headings, Etc. The headings in this Warrant
are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect

17. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without giving

18. Judicial Proceedings. Any legal action, suit or proceeding
brought against the Company with respect to this Warrant may be brought in any

Warrant, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any claim (by
way of motion, as a defense or otherwise) of improper venue, that it is not
subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such courts are an
inconvenient forum or that this Warrant or the subject matter may not be
enforced in or by such court. The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
18
consents to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any
such action, suit or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered
or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address set forth or provided for in
Section 14, such service to become effective 10 days after such mailing. Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve
process in any manner permitted by law or commence legal proceedings or
otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction to enforce
judgments obtained in any action, suit or proceeding brought pursuant to this
Section. The Company irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
aforementioned courts in such action, suit or proceeding.
19. Registration Rights Agreement. The shares of Common Stock
(and Other Securities) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or upon
conversion of any shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise) shall
constitute Registrable Securities (as such term is defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement). Each holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to all of the
benefits afforded to a holder of any such Registrable Securities under the
Registration Rights Agreement and such holder, by its acceptance of this
Warrant, agrees to be bound by and to comply with the terms and conditions of
