XXXXXXXX and any subsequent assignee or transferee hereof are hereinafter
referred to collectively as "Holder" or "Holders").
AGREEMENT:
1. ISSUANCE OF WARRANT; TERM. In the event that Company or any of
-------------------------
Company's successors or assigns (an "Affiliated Entity") shall cause to be made
or shall be involved in a public offering of its stock (an "IPO") within ten
years from the date hereof, Holder shall have the option to acquire from the
Company the number of shares up to that number pursuant to which the purchase
price would equal Three Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars
($3,750,000), with the maximum number of shares which Holder shall have the
option to purchase to be determined as follows:
$3,750,000 divided by Initial IPO Price Per Share = Maximum Number of
Option Shares
The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are
hereinafter referred to as the "Shares." The option described pursuant to this
Paragraph 1 shall only be exercisable within ten (10) years from the date of and
in conjunction with the IPO, provided that there has been no acquisition or
merger of the Company at the time of the IPO. The exercise of, or the failure
to exercise, this Warrant in conjunction with an IPO shall terminate all other
rights of Holder hereunder.
2. EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price (the "Exercise Price") per
--------------
Share for which all or any of the Shares may be purchased pursuant to the terms
of this Warrant shall be the IPO price of comparable capital stock of the
Company.
3. EXERCISE. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof (but only
--------
on the conditions hereinafter set forth) as to all or any increment or
increments upon delivery of written notice of intent to exercise to the Company
at the following address: 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000 or such
other address as the Company shall designate in a written notice to the Holder
hereof, together with this Warrant and payment to the Company of the aggregate
Exercise Price of the Shares being purchased. The Exercise Price shall be
payable by delivery of a certified check. Upon exercise of this Warrant as
aforesaid, the Company shall as promptly as practicable, and in any event with
fifteen (15) days thereafter, execute and deliver to the Holder of this Warrant
a certificate or certificates for the total number of whole Shares for which
this Warrant is being exercised in such names and denominations as are requested
by such Holder. If this Warrant shall be exercised with respect to less than
all of the Shares, the remaining Shares covered by this Warrant shall be null
and void.
4. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. The above provisions are subject to the
------------------------
following:
(a) Neither this Warrant nor the Shares have been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act") or any state
securities laws ("Blue Sky Laws"). This Warrant has been acquired for
investment purposes and not with a view to distribution or resale and may
not be sold or otherwise transferred without (i) an effective registration
statement for such Warrant under the Securities Act and such applicable
Blue Sky Laws, or (ii) an opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that
registration is not required under the Securities Act or under any
applicable Blue Sky Laws. Transfer of the Shares issued upon the exercise
of this Warrant shall be restricted in the same manner and to the same
extent as the Warrant and the certificates representing such Shares shall
bear substantially the following legend:
THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAW AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNTIL (I) A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH REGARD THERETO, OR
(II) IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY,
REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH SECURITIES ACTS AND SUCH APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH
SUCH PROPOSED TRANSFER.
The Holder hereof and the Company agree to execute such other documents and
instruments as counsel for the Company reasonably deems necessary to effect
the compliance of the issuance of this Warrant and any shares of Common
Stock issued upon exercise hereof with applicable federal and state
securities laws.
(b) The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares which may be
issued upon exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance and payment
therefor, be legally and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
nonassessable, free from all taxes, charges and preemptive rights, if any,
with respect thereto or to the issuance thereof. The Company shall at all
times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the exercise of this
Warrant such number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as
will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant.
5. TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof,
-------------------
this Warrant may be transferred, in whole or in part, to any person or business
entity, by presentation of the Warrant to the Company with written instructions
for such transfer. Upon such presentation for transfer, the Company shall
promptly execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the form hereof in the
name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such
instructions. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection
with the preparation, issuance and delivery of Warrants under this Section.

7. RIGHTS UPON SALE OR MERGER.
--------------------------
(a) Shareholder shall not enter into any transaction that would
result in the merger or acquisition of the Company or an Affiliated Entity
unless prior to such sale such Shareholder shall give notice to Holder of
its intention to effect such sale in order that Holder may exercise its
rights under this Section 7 as hereinafter described. Such notice shall set
forth the principal terms of the merger of acquisition.
(b) In the event of any acquisition or merger of Company or an
Affiliated Entity, pursuant to which the Shareholder receives shares of
stock of any company whose stock is traded on any exchange (the "Surviving
Entity") during the ten year period commencing with the date hereof, Holder
shall have the option to acquire from Shareholder for a purchase price per
share equal to the price per share determined in connection with such
acquisition or merger, a maximum number of shares up to that number
pursuant to which the purchase price would equal $3,750,000, with the
maximum number of shares which Holder shall have the option to purchase to
be determined as follows:
$3,750,000 divided by Price Per Share of Surviving Entity = Maximum Number
of Option Shares
(c) The option described in this Section 7 shall only be exercisable
at within ten (10) years from the date of a merger or acquisition, provided
there has been no IPO at the time of the merger or acquisition. The
exercise of, or the failure to exercise, this Warrant in conjunction with
an acquisition or merger of the Company or an Affiliated Entity shall
terminate all other rights of Holder hereunder.
