1. Registration Rights. If at any time when there is not an
effective registration statement covering all of the Underlying Securities, the
Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account
or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity
securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the
Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be
issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or
equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee
benefit plans, the Company shall send to each Holder of Underlying Securities
written notice of such determination and, if within seven (7) Business Days
after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing (which
request shall specify the Underlying Securities intended to be disposed of by
the Holder), the Company will cause the registration under the Securities Act of
all Underlying Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by
the Holder, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Underlying
Securities so to be registered, provided that if at any time after giving
written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the
effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such
registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to
delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give
written notice of such determination to such Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the
case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to
register any Underlying Securities in connection with such registration, and
(ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to
delay registering any Underlying Securities being registered pursuant to this
Section 1 for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.
The Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such
Underlying
3
Securities such Holder requests to be registered. In the case of an underwritten
public offering, if the managing underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) should
reasonably object to the inclusion of the Underlying Securities in such
registration statement, then if the Company after consultation with the managing
underwriter should reasonably determine that the inclusion of such Underlying
Securities, would materially adversely affect the offering contemplated in such
registration statement, and based on such determination recommends inclusion in
such registration statement of fewer or none of the Underlying Securities of the
Holders, then (x) the number of Underlying Securities of the Holders included in
such registration statement shall be reduced pro-rata among such Holders (based
upon the number of Underlying Securities requested to be included in the
registration), if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s)
recommends the inclusion of fewer Underlying Securities, or (y) none of the
Underlying Securities of the Holders shall be included in such registration
statement, if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends
the inclusion of none of such Underlying Securities; provided, however, that if
securities are being offered for the account of other persons or entities as
well as the Company, such reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of
the number of Underlying Securities intended to be offered by the Holders than
the fraction of similar reductions imposed on such other persons or entities
(other than the Company).
2. Sale or Exercise Without Registration. If, at the time of
any exercise, transfer or surrender for exchange of a Warrant or of Underlying
Securities previously issued upon the exercise of Warrants, such Warrant or
Underlying Securities shall not be registered under the Securities Act, the
Company may require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, transfer or
exchange, that the Holder or transferee of such Warrant or Underlying
Securities, as the case may be, furnish to the Company an opinion of counsel,
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such exercise,
transfer or exchange may be made without registration under the Securities Act.
3. Exercise of Warrant.
3.1. Exercise in Full. Subject to the provisions
hereof, this Warrant may be exercised in full by the Holder hereof by
surrender of this Warrant, with the form of subscription at the end
hereof duly executed by such Holder, to the Company at its the
principal office of the Company set forth at the head of this Warrant
(or such other location as the Company from time to time may advise the
Holder in writing), accompanied by payment, (i) in cash or by certified
or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, in the
amount obtained (the "Aggregate Purchase Price") by multiplying (a) the
number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant by (b) the Purchase Price per share on the date of such
exercise or (ii) by the surrender and cancellation of a portion of
shares of Common Stock then held by the Holder or issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, which shall be valued and credited toward the
total Aggregate Purchase Price due the Company for the exercise of the
Warrant based upon the Market Price of the Common Stock on the date of
exercise.
3.2. Partial Exercise. Subject to the provisions
hereof, this Warrant may be exercised in part by surrender of this
Warrant in the manner and at the place provided in Section 3.1 except
that the amount payable by the Holder upon any partial
4
exercise shall be the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of
shares of Common Stock designated by the Holder in the subscription at
the end hereof by (b) the Purchase Price per share on the date of such
exercise. Upon any such partial exercise, the Company at its expense
shall forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder
hereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the
Holder hereof or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any
applicable transfer taxes and subject to the provisions of Section 2)
may request, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for
the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of such shares
issuable prior to such partial exercise of this Warrant minus the
number of such shares designated by the Holder in the subscription at
the end hereof.
3.3. Company to Reaffirm Obligations. The Company
shall, at the time of any exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of
the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to
afford to such Holder any rights (including, without limitation, any
right to registration of the Underlying Securities, if any) to which
such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in
accordance with the provisions of this Warrant; provided, however, 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 Holder any such rights.
3.4. Certain Exercises. If an exercise of this
Warrant is to be made in connection with a registered public offering
or sale of the Company, such exercise may, at the election of the
Holder, be conditioned on the consummation of the public offering or
sale of the Company, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed
effective until the consummation of such transaction.
4. Delivery of Stock Certificates on Exercise. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, the Company
at its own expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes)
shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or
as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes and
subject to the provisions of Section 2) may direct, a certificate or
certificates for the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock or other Securities to which such Holder shall be entitled upon such
exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would
otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then
current Market Price of one full share.
5. Adjustment for Dividends.
(a) In case at any time or from time to time after the
Original Issue Date, the Company shall at any time declare or pay a dividend
upon its Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price per
share in effect immediately prior to such dividend shall be proportionately
reduced.
(b) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any
time after the Original Issue Date is decreased by a combination or reverse
stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price per
share shall be increased in
5
proportion to such decrease. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
at any time after the Original Issue Date is increased by a forward stock split
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise, the Purchase Price per
share shall be decreased in proportion to such increase.
(c) Upon each adjustment to the Purchase Price per share, the
Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Purchase
Price per share resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Common
Stock obtained by multiplying the Purchase Price per share in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product
thereof by the Purchase Price per share resulting from such adjustment.
6. Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the
Company after the Original Issue Date shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b)
consolidate with or merge into any other Person, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person under any plan
or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such
case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in
Section 3 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization,
consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case
may be, shall be entitled to receive (and the Company or its successors or
assigns shall be entitled to deliver), in lieu of the Underlying Securities
issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date,
the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such
Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with
such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this
Warrant immediately prior thereto. Upon receipt of such stock and other
securities and property (including cash), if any, the rights of the Holder under
this Warrant shall terminate and cease and this Warrant shall expire and be of
no force and effect. In any such case, the Company (or its successors or
assigns) shall be entitled to make appropriate adjustments in the application of
the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the
Holder after such reorganization, merger, consolidation or dissolution.
7. Further Assurances; Reports. The Company shall take all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Underlying
Securities upon the exercise of all Warrants from time to time outstanding. For
so long as the Holder holds this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to the
Holder contemporaneously with delivery to the holders of Common Stock, a copy of
each report of the Company delivered to such holders.
8. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any
adjustment or readjustment in the Underlying Securities, the Company shall, upon
request, at its expense, promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer to compute
such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and
prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing
in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, and the
number of shares of Common Stock or Other Securities outstanding or deemed to be
outstanding. The Company shall forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to
the Holder.
6
9. Notices of Record Date. In the event of
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of its
stockholders for the purpose of determining the stockholders
thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other
distribution (other than a quarterly dividend payable solely
in cash), 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 for
the purpose of determining stockholders who are entitled to
vote in connection with any proposed capital reorganization of
the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the
capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or
substantially all the assets of the Company to or

Person, or
(b) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company,

transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to

merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at

Certain Securities. In furtherance and not in limitation of any other provision
of this Warrant, if the Company at any time shall list any Common Stock (or
Other Securities) on any national securities exchange or Nasdaq, the Company
shall, at its expense, simultaneously list the Underlying Securities from time
to time issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants on such exchange or Nasdaq,
upon official notice of issuance.
12. Exchange of Warrants. Subject to the provisions of Section
2, upon surrender for exchange of this Warrant, properly endorsed, to the

like tenor, in the name of such Holder or as such Holder (upon payment by such

the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on
the face of this Warrant so surrendered.
