JAWS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
WARRANT
Warrant No. ____ Dated: June 22, 2000
Jaws Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), hereby
certifies that, for value received, _________________________________, or its
registered assigns ("Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth
below, to purchase from the Company up to a total of 120,000 shares of common
stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company (each such
share, a "Warrant Share" and all such shares, the "Warrant Shares") at an
exercise price equal to $5.00 per share (as adjusted from time to time as
provided in Section 7, the "Exercise Price"), at any time and from time to time
from and after the date hereof and through and including June 22, 2005 (the
"Expiration Date"), and subject to the following terms and conditions: All
references to $ (dollars) shall be to US$ (United States dollars).
1. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this
Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the
"Warrant Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.
The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution
to the Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected
by notice to the contrary.
2. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
(a) The Company shall register the transfer of any portion
of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with
the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the
Transfer Agent or to the Company at its address for notice set forth in Section
12. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common
2
Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a "New
Warrant"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued
to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this
Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.
The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the
acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder
of a Warrant. Subject to Section 14(g) below, any transfer or assignment of this
Warrant and Warrant Shares obtained by the Holder in exercise of this Warrant is
subject to the requirement that such securities be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and applicable state
securities laws or exempt from registration under such laws.
(b) This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender
hereof by the Holder to the office of the Company at its address for notice set
forth in Section 12 for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate
the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased
hereunder (provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to issue
any such New Warrants in denominations of less than 50,000 warrants, or such
lesser amount as may constitute the balance of the holders warrants). Any such
New Warrant will be dated the date of such exchange.
3. Duration and Exercise of Warrants.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered
Holder on any business day before 6:30 P.M., New York City time, at any time and
from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration
Date, provided, however, that the minimum number of Warrant Shares as to which
this Warrant is being exercised shall not be less than 50,000 Warrant Shares. At
6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this
Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.
Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company may not call or otherwise redeem this
Warrant without the prior written consent of the Holder.
(b) Upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of
Election to Purchase attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company
at its address for notice set forth in Section 12 and upon payment of the
Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder
intends to purchase hereunder, in the manner provided hereunder, all as
specified by the Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall
promptly (but in no event later than 3 business days after the Date of Exercise
(as defined herein)) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to
or, if not in violation of applicable law, upon the written order of the Holder
and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the
Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends except
(in the case of each of the transfer and the issuance) (i) either in the event
that a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and
naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective or
the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions
pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), or (ii) if this Warrant shall have been issued pursuant
to a written agreement between the original Holder and
-2-
3
the Company, as required by such agreement. Any person so designated by the
Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record
of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant. The Company
shall, if available, use its best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder
electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions if (a) the Holder makes such a
request in writing and (b) the Holder certifies to the Company and the Transfer
Agent that it delivered a prospectus to the buyer in connection with the resale
of Warrant Shares.
A "Date of Exercise" means the date on which the Company
shall have received (i) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), with
the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached to such New
Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the holder
hereof to be purchased.
(c) This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its
entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares.
If less than all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant
are exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its
expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of
Warrant Shares for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant.
(d) This Warrant shall be not be deemed to confer upon the
Holder any right to vote or to consent to or receive notice as a stockholder of
the Company, as such, in respect of any matters whatsoever, or any other rights
or liabilities as a stockholder, prior to the exercise hereof.
4. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary
stamp taxes attributable to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay
any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other
than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax
liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or
receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
5. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and
substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and
indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to the Company. Applicants for a New
Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable
regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company
may prescribe.
6. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that
it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its
authorized but unissued Common
-3-
4
Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which
are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free
from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons
other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of
Section 7). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares that shall be so
issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable
Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly
authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
7. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment
from time to time as set forth in this Section 7. Upon each such adjustment of
the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 7, the Holder shall thereafter prior
to the Expiration Date be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting
from such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares obtained by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment.
(a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) shall pay a stock dividend (except scheduled dividends paid on
any preferred stock which contains a stated dividend rate) or otherwise make a
distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or on any other
class of capital stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii)
combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the
Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any)
outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding after
such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination, and shall
apply to successive subdivisions and combinations.
(b) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock or
any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted
into other securities, cash or property, then the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to exercise this Warrant only into the shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of
Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the Holder
shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or
property equal to the amount of Warrant Shares such Holder would have been
entitled to had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such
reclassification or share exchange. The terms of any such reclassification or
share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder
the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section 7(b)
upon any exercise following any such reclassification or share exchange.
-4-
5
(c) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to holders
of this Warrant) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in
Sections 8(a), (b) and (d)), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be
determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Exercise Price
determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator
shall be such Exercise Price on such record date less the then fair market value
at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so
distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock on a fully
diluted basis as determined by the Company's independent certified public
accountants that regularly examines the financial statements of the Company (an
"Appraiser").
(d) If the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as
applicable with respect to Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below), at any
time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or
rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt that are convertible into
or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents"),
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at a price per share less
than the Exercise Price (other than as a result of traditional anti-dilution
provisions pertaining to securities of the Company outstanding prior to the
issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, if the holder of the
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued shall at any time, whether by
operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion,
exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights
issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common
Stock at a price less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to
have occurred for less than the Exercise Price), then, at the sole option of the
Holder, either (1) the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or such Common
Stock Equivalents plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the offering
price for such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents would purchase
at the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance
plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued or issuable, or (2) if after
the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the
initial registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement has not yet been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, then the Exercise Price shall be replaced with the conversion,
exchange or purchase price for such Common Stock Equivalents (including any
reset provisions thereof), provided, that for purposes hereof, all shares of
Common Stock that are issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of Common
Stock Equivalents shall be deemed outstanding immediately after the issuance of
such Common Stock Equivalents. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such
shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. However, upon the
expiration of any Common Stock Equivalents the issuance of which resulted in an
adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section, if any such Common
Stock Equivalents shall expire and shall not have been exercised, the Exercise
Price shall immediately upon such expiration be recomputed and effective
-5-
6
immediately upon such expiration be increased to the price which it would have
been (but reflecting any other adjustments in the Exercise Price made pursuant
to the provisions of this Section after the issuance of such Common Stock
Equivalents) had the adjustment of the Exercise Price made upon the issuance of
such Common Stock Equivalents been made on the basis of offering for
subscription or purchase only that number of shares of Common Stock actually
purchased upon the exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents actually exercised.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment to the Exercise
Price or the number and kind of Warrant Shares shall be made pursuant to this
Warrant in the event of (i) the granting of options or warrants to employees,
officers, directors or consultants, and the issuance of shares upon exercise of
options granted, under any stock option plan approved by the Board of Directors
of the Company, (ii) the issuance of securities pursuant to an underwritten
public offering, (iii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock in payment of the
purchase price of a Strategic Transaction (as defined below), (iv) the issuance
of up to an aggregate of 80,000 shares (as appropriately adjusted for stock
splits, stock dividends, and similar adjustments after the issuance date) of
Common Stock (or convertible preferred stock, options, warrants or other
securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) at a price less
than $5.00 and not otherwise excepted pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii)
above, (v) the issuance of 80,000 shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents at a per share price, or exercise or conversion price, as the case
may be, of at least 90% of the current market value or the Exercise Price on the
date the Company becomes obligated to issue or sell such shares or Common Stock
Equivalents and (vi) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents to the Holder pursuant to its right of first refusal under the
Securities Purchase Agreement. For purposes of this Section, a "Strategic
Transaction" shall mean a transaction or relationship, including, but not
limited, to an acquisition or joint venture, in which the Company issues shares
of Common Stock to a Person which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an
operating company in a business related or synergistic to the business of the
Company and in which the Company reasonably believes it will receive material
benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a
transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose
of raising capital.
(e) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company of more than
one-half of the assets of the Company in one or a series of related
transactions, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to (A) exercise this
Warrant for the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property
receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such
merger, consolidation or sale, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event
or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and
property as the Common Stock for which this Warrant could have been exercised
immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been
entitled or (B) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving
entity to issue warrants equal to the number of Warrant Shares to which this
Warrant then permits, which new warrant shall be identical to this Warrant
mutatis mutandis. If the Holder shall elect choice (B) in the immediately
preceding sentence, the Company or the surviving entity (as the case may be)
may, by the Business Day preceding the consummation of the business combination
at issue, retire this Warrant by paying to the Holder, in cash, the Black
Scholes value of this Warrant (which value must be agreed between the parties).
Failure to so elect or pay such amount prior to the Business Day preceding the
consummation of the business
-6-
7
combination at issue shall be deemed an election by the Company and the
surviving entity to cause the surviving entity to issue the warrants
contemplated in (B) above. In the case of clause (B), the exercise price for
such new warrant shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property
that each share of Common Stock would receive in such transaction and the
Exercise Price of this Warrant immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing
date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation
shall include such terms so as continue to give the Holder the right to receive
the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion
or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to
successive such events.
(f) For the purposes of this Section 7, the following
clauses shall also be applicable:
(i) Record Date. In case the Company shall take a
record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A)
to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or in
securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, or (B) to
subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable
into shares of Common Stock, then such record date shall be deemed to be the
date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other
distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or
purchase, as the case may be.
(ii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or
for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be
considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(g) All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to
the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. No
adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would
require an increase or decrease of at least five cents ($0.05) in such price;
provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Warrant are not
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment required to be made hereunder.
(h) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment
of the Exercise price pursuant to this Section 7, the Company at its expense
will promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the
terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or
readjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price or adjusted
number of shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon exercise of each
Warrant, describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing
in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. Upon
written request, the Company will forthwith mail, by first class mail, postage
prepaid, a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of this
-7-
8
Warrant at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, and
to its Transfer Agent.
(i) If:
(i) the Company shall declare a
dividend (or any other
distribution) on its Common Stock;
or
(ii) the Company shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a
redemption of its Common Stock; or
(iii) the Company shall authorize the
granting to all holders of the
Common Stock rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any
class or of any rights; or
(iv) the approval of any stockholders of
the Company shall be required in
connection with any
reclassification of the Common
Stock, any consolidation or merger
to which the Company is a party,
any sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of
the Company, or any compulsory
share exchange whereby the Common
Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property; or
(v) the Company shall authorize the
voluntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the affairs of the
Company,
then the Company shall cause to be mailed to each Holder at their last addresses
as they shall appear upon the Warrant Register, at least 15 calendar days prior
to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to
be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be
entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to
be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of
record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation
or winding up; provided, however, that the failure to mail such notice or any
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

8. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the
Exercise Price in one of the following manners:
(a) Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately
available funds; or
(b) Cashless Exercise. The Holder may surrender this
Warrant to the Company together with a notice of cashless exercise only if, for
the ninety days immediately preceding the exercise of this Warrant, a
registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the
Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective, in which event
the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as
follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be
issued to the Holder.
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with
respect to which this Warrant is being
exercised.
A = the average of the closing sale prices
of the Common Stock for the five (5) trading
days immediately prior to (but not
including) the Date of Exercise.
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless
exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and
the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been
commenced, on the issue date.
9. Certain Exercise Restrictions.
(a) A Holder may not exercise this Warrant to the extent
such exercise would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof,
beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the rules
promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.999% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon such exercise and held by
such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be
obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may
hold at the time of an exercise hereunder, unless the exercise at issue would
result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.999% of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may
be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall
have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained
in this Section will limit any particular exercise hereunder and to the extent
that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this
-9-
10
Section applies, the determination of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the
Holder has delivered a Form of Election to Purchase for a number of Warrant
Shares that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its
affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the
permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and
shall honor the exercise for the maximum portion of this Warrant permitted to be
exercised on such Date of Exercise in accordance with the periods described
herein and, at the option of the Holder, either keep the portion of the Warrant
tendered for exercise in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future
exercises or return such excess portion of the Warrant to the Holder. The
provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and
not to any other Holder) upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company.
Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.
(b) A Holder may not exercise this Warrant to the extent
such exercise would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof,
beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the
then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable
upon such exercise and held by such Holder after application of this Section.
Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of
shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of an exercise hereunder, unless
the exercise at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in
excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard
to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an
affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to
determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any
particular exercise hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that
the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which
portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the responsibility and
obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Form of Election to
Purchase for a number of Warrant Shares that, without regard to any other shares
that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the
issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify
the Holder of this fact and shall honor the exercise for the maximum portion of
this Warrant permitted to be exercised on such Date of Exercise in accordance
with the periods described herein and, at the option of the Holder, either keep
the portion of the Warrant tendered for exercise in excess of the permitted
amount hereunder for future exercises or return such excess portion of the
Warrant to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder
(but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 61 days
prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such
waiver.
10. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to
issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this
Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number
of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any
fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be
issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an amount in
cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
-10-
11
11. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or
deliveries hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective
on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication
is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this
Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a business day, (ii) the
business day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is

Section later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date and earlier than
11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, (iii) the business day following
the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service,

attention Chief Financial Officer, and facsimile: (000) 000-0000, attention
General Counsel (except for exercise notices) or (ii) if to the Holder, to the
Holder at the address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or
such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company
in accordance with this Section.
12. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent
under this Warrant. Upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Holder, the Company may
appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new
warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation
to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any
corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers
substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall
be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any
such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as
warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder
at the Holder's last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
13. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This
Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and
their successors and assigns.
(b) Subject to Section 14(a), above, nothing in this
Warrant shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than the
Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause under this
Warrant. This Warrant shall inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of the
Company and the Holder.
(c) The corporate laws of the State of Nevada shall govern
all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its stockholders.
All other questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to
the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The Company and the Holder hereby
-11-
12
irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of
