Warrant, on any Business Day, for all or any part of the number of shares of
Class A Common Stock purchasable hereunder.
In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Holder
shall deliver to the Company at its principal office at 0000 XxXxxxxx Xxxxx
Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 or at the office or agency designated by the
Company pursuant to Section 11, (i) a written notice in substantially the form
of the Subscription Notice attached hereto of the Holder's election to exercise
this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Class A Common
Stock to be purchased, and the denominations of the share certificate or
certificates desired, (ii) payment of the Warrant Price as hereinafter provided
and (iii) this Warrant. Upon receipt thereof, the Company shall, as promptly as
practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, execute
or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a
certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of
Class A Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of
any fraction of a share, as hereinafter provided. The stock certificate or
certificates so delivered shall be in such denomination or denominations as such
Holder shall request in the notice and shall be registered in the name of the
Holder or such other names as shall be designated in the notice. This Warrant
shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates
shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so
designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record
of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the notice, together with the
tender of the exercise price and this Warrant, is received by the
4
5
Company as described herein and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if
any, pursuant to Section 2.2 prior to the issuance of such shares have been
paid. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at
the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant
Stock, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder
to purchase the unpurchased shares of Class A Common Stock called for by this
Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this
Warrant, or, at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on
this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder.
Payment of the Warrant Price shall be made in cash by wire transfer of
immediately available funds or other form of payment acceptable to the Company.
2.2 Payment of Taxes. All shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and without any preemptive rights. The
Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other
governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or
delivery thereof. The Company shall not be required, however, to pay any tax or
other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue of
any certificate for shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant in any name other than that of the Holder, and in such case the
Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate until
such tax or other charge has been paid or it has been established to the
reasonable satisfaction of Company that no such tax or other charge is due.
2.3 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a
fractional share of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which the Holder of one or more Warrants, the rights under
which are exercised in the same transaction, would otherwise be entitled to
purchase upon such exercise, the Company may pay a cash adjustment in respect of
such final fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Current
Market Price per share of Class A Common Stock on the date of exercise.
2.4 Share Legend. Each certificate for shares of Class A Common Stock
issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall bear the legends required pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement.
2.5 Registration Rights. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the
Warrants and the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise thereof are
entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as July 31,
1996, as amended.
3. TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION, AND REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTS
3.1 Ownership of Warrant. The Company may deem and treat the Person in
whose name this Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof
(notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by any Person
other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice
to the contrary, until presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer
as provided in this Section 3.
5
6
3.2 Division and Combination. This Warrant may be divided or combined
with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office or agency
of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and
denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney. As to any transfer which may be involved in such division
or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants
in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own
expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this
Section 3.
3.3 Maintenance of Books. The Company agrees to maintain, at its
aforesaid office or agency, books for the registration and the registration of
transfer of the Warrants, and, subject to the terms and conditions of transfer
set forth herein, transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder shall be
registered, in whole or in part, on such books, upon surrender of this Warrant
at the principal office of the Company referred to in Section 2.1 or the office
or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 11, together with a
written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Annex B hereto,
duly executed by the Holder or his duly authorized agent or attorney, with
(unless the Holder is the original Warrant holder or another institutional
investor) signatures guaranteed by a bank or trust company or a broker or dealer
registered with the NASD, and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable
upon such transfer. Upon surrender and compliance with the terms and conditions
of transfer set forth herein, the Company shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the
denominations specified in the instrument of assignment, and this Warrant shall
promptly be canceled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Warrant may be exercised
by a new holder that receives this Warrant in compliance with the terms and
conditions of transfer set forth herein without having a new Warrant issued.
4. ADJUSTMENTS
The number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable, or the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in
this Section 4. The Company shall give each Holder notice of any event described
below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 at the time of
such event.
4.1 Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the
Company shall:
(a) take a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution
of, Additional Shares of Common Stock,
(b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares of Common Stock, or
(c) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock,
6
7
then (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted
to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to
receive after the happening of such event, and (ii) the Current Warrant Price
shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Current Warrant Price multiplied by the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
4.2 Certain Other Distributions. If at any time the Company shall take
a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
receive any dividend or other distribution of:
(a) cash,
(b) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its stock
(other than Additional Shares of Common Stock) or any other securities
or property of any nature whatsoever, or
(c) any Convertible Securities or any warrants or other rights to
subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness or other
property,
then (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (A) the numerator of which
shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock at the date of
taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market
Price per share of Common Stock minus the amount allocable to one share of
Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the Fair Market Value of
any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or
property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable,
and (ii) the Current Warrant Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Current
Warrant Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the
number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such
adjustment. A reclassification of Common Stock (other than a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into
shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a
distribution by the Company to the holders of Common Stock of such shares of
such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4.2 and, if the
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller
number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change
shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4.1.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any payment of dividends on the
Common Stock in the form of cash from current or retained earnings of the
Company, the Company may, in lieu of any adjustment pursuant to this Section
4.2, pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the amount of dividends that
would have been payable to such Holder in the event this Warrant had been
exercised immediately prior to the record date for such dividend.
7
8
4.3 Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If at any time the
Company shall (except as hereinafter provided) issue or sell any Additional
Shares of Common Stock (other than issuances to existing stockholders as a
dividend or other distribution described in Section 4.2, pursuant to the
conversion or exercise of any Convertible Security or pursuant to any employee
or director incentive or benefit plan approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company) for consideration in an amount per Additional Share of Common Stock
less than the Current Market Price, then (i) the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the
product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such issuance or sale by a
fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock Outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, and (B) the denominator
of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately
prior to such issue or sale plus the number of shares which the aggregate
offering price of the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock
would purchase at the then Current Market Price; and (ii) the Current Warrant
Price as to the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable prior to
such adjustment shall be adjusted by multiplying such Current Warrant Price by a
fraction (X) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such issue or sale; and (Y) the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after such issue or sale.
4.4 Issuance of Convertible Securities. If at any time the Company
shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the
Company is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any Convertible Securities,
whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately
exercisable (other than issuances to existing stockholders as a dividend or
other distribution described in Section 4.2 or pursuant to any employee or
director incentive or benefit plan approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company), for a consideration having a Fair Market Value on the date of such
issuance or sale less than the Fair Market Value of such Convertible Securities
on the date of such issuance or sale, then (i) the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the
product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction
(A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common
Stock at the date of such issuance and (B) the denominator of which shall be
such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock so distributable minus the
Per Share Deficiency (as defined below) and (ii) the Current Warrant Price shall
be adjusted to equal (A) the Current Warrant Price multiplied by the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior
to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after such adjustment. The "Per Share Deficiency" shall
mean (x) the Fair Market Value of such Convertible Securities on the date of
such issuance or sale minus the Fair Market Value of the consideration received
by the Company in respect of such issue or sale divided by (y) the number of
shares of Common Stock Outstanding on the date of such issuance or sale.
4.5 Pro Rata Repurchases. In case the Company or any subsidiary thereof
shall make a pro rata repurchase of shares of Common Stock, the Current Warrant
Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted (but shall
not be increased) by multiplying such price by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock
Outstanding immediately before such Pro Rata Repurchase and (y) the
8
9
Current Market Price of the Common Stock as of the close of business on the
Business Day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company
of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase minus (ii) the aggregate
purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase and the denominator of which shall be
the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately
before such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock
repurchased by the Company or any subsidiary thereof in such Pro Rata Repurchase
and (ii) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock as of the close of
business on the Business Day immediately preceding the first public announcement
by the Company of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase. Such adjustment
shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such Pro Rata
Repurchase.
4.6 Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The
following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the
Current Warrant Price provided for in this Section 4:
(a) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any Additional
Shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities or any warrants or
other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Additional Shares of
Common Stock or any Convertible Securities shall be issued for cash
consideration, the consideration received by the Company therefor shall
be the amount of the cash received by the Company therefor, or, if such
Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are offered
by the Company for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such
Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are sold to
underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription
offering, the initial public offering price (in any such case
subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or
accrued dividends and without taking into account any compensation,
discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Company for and in the
underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance
thereof). To the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration
other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
the amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the Fair Market
Value of such consideration. In case any Additional Shares of Common
Stock or any Convertible Securities or any warrants or other rights to
subscribe for or purchase such Additional Shares of Common Stock or
Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection with any merger in
which the Company issues any securities, the amount of consideration
therefor shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Value of such portion of
the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as the Board of
Directors of the Company in good faith shall determine to be
attributable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible
Securities, warrants or other rights, as the case may be. The
consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable
pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase
the same shall be the consideration received by the Company for issuing
such warrants or other rights plus the additional consideration payable
to the Company upon exercise of such warrants or other rights. The
consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable
pursuant to the terms of any Convertible Securities shall be the
9
10
consideration received by the Company for issuing warrants or other
rights to subscribe for or purchase such Convertible Securities, plus
the consideration paid or payable to the Company in respect of the
subscription for or purchase of such Convertible Securities, plus the
additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the
exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Convertible
Securities. In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional
Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities in payment or
satisfaction of any dividends upon any class of stock other than Common
Stock, the Company shall be deemed to have received for such Additional
Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities a consideration equal
to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied.
(b) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this
Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event
requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case
of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, as provided
for in Section 4.1) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such
adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously
made adds or subtracts less than 1% of the shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of
such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such
minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be
carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with
other adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made,
would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For
the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to
have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(c) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this
Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into
account to the nearest 1/10th of a share.
(d) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company shall take a
record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them
to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase
rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to
stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such
dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then
thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of
such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof
shall be rescinded and annulled.
4.7 Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or
Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital,
reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another
corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there
is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company),
or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property,
assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such
reorganization, reclassification, merger,
10
11
consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor
or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or
property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or
purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or
acquiring corporation ("Other Property"), are to be received by or distributed
to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then each Holder shall have the
right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of such Warrant, the number of shares
of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if
it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a
result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or
disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. In case of
any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition
of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company)
shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each
and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by
the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such
modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined by resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares
of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. For
purposes of this Section 4.7, "common stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not
preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such
corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any
evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are
convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon
the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any
warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The
foregoing provisions of this Section 4.7 shall similarly apply to successive
reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of
assets.
4.8 Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case at any time or from
time to time the Company shall take any action in respect of its Common Stock,
other than any action described in this Section 4, then, unless such action will
not have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the Holders, the number
of shares of Common Stock or other stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
and/or the purchase price thereof shall be adjusted in such manner as may be
equitable in the circumstances.
5. NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS

Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, or whenever the price at
which a share of such Class A Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of the
Warrants, shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall forthwith
prepare a certificate to be executed by the chief financial officer of the
Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment
and the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description
of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the Company determined the fair
value of any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or
property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights referred to in
Section 4), specifying the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable and (if such adjustment was made pursuant to Section 4.7)
describing the number and kind of any other shares of stock or Other Property
for
11
12
which this Warrant is exercisable, and any change in the purchase price or
prices thereof, after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Company
shall promptly cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to each
Holder in accordance with Section 13.2. The Company shall keep at its office or
agency designated pursuant to Section 11 copies of all such certificates and
cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal
business hours by any Holder or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant
designated by a Holder thereof.
5.2 Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time
(a) The Company shall take a record of the holders of Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other
distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences
of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the
Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any
sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the
property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation, or
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the Holder (i)
at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of the date on which a record
date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for
determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least thirty (30) days'
prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in
accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (A) the date on which
any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or
right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any
such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and
(B) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, 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 Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common
Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice shall be
sufficiently given if addressed to the Holder at the last address of the Holder
appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section
13.2.
6. NO IMPAIRMENT
The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation,
12
13
merger, 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 shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall (a) not increase the
par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior
to such increase in par value, (b) 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 Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant, and (c) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations,
exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body, stock exchange or the
NASD as have jurisdiction therefor as may be necessary to enable the Company to
perform its obligations under this Warrant.
7. RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK; REGISTRATION
WITH OR APPROVAL OF ANY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY
From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall at all times reserve
and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its
authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock as will be sufficient to
permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. All shares of Class A
Common Stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of this
Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Warrant, shall
be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to
preemptive rights.
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the
Current Warrant Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Class A
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall take any
corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly
and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Class A Common
Stock at such adjusted Current Warrant Price.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
or in the Current Warrant Price, the Company shall obtain all such
authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary
from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
If any shares of Class A Common Stock required to be reserved for
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant require registration or qualification
with any governmental authority or other governmental approval or filing under
any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Company will
in good faith and as expeditiously as possible and at its expense endeavor to
cause such shares to be duly registered.
8. TAKING OF RECORD; STOCK AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS
In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to
the holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4
refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such
case take such a record as of the close of
13
14
business on a Business Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, close its stock transfer
books or Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the
exercise or transfer of any Warrant.
9. SUPPLYING INFORMATION
The Company shall cooperate with each Holder of a Warrant in supplying
such information as may be reasonably necessary for such holder to complete and
file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the
Commission as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the
Securities Act for the sale of any Warrant.
10. LOSS OR MUTILATION
Upon receipt by the Company from any Holder of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and in
case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will
execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor to such Holder;
provided that no indemnity, other than pursuant to the writing agreement of the
Holder, shall be required if such Holder is an institutional investor, nor shall
any indemnity be required in the case of mutilation if this Warrant in
identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.
11. OFFICE OF THE COMPANY
As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall
maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices of
the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of
transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder
to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the
rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of
such Holder for the purchase price of any Class A Common Stock or as a
stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or
by creditors of the Company.
13. MISCELLANEOUS
13.1 Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or
failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of the Holder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder's rights, powers or
remedies. If the Company fails to make, when due, any payments provided for
hereunder, or fails to comply with any other provision of this Warrant, the
Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any
costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees,
including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting
any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights,
powers or remedies hereunder.
14
15
13.2 Notices. Any notices or other communications required or permitted
hereunder shall be sufficiently given if in writing and delivered in person,

receipt requested) or recognized overnight delivery service, postage prepaid,

other party in writing:

after dispatch.
13.3 Remedies. Each holder of Warrants, in addition to being entitled
to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be
entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company
agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and
hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a
remedy at law would be adequate.
13.4 Successors and Assigns. This Warrant and the rights evidenced
hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the
Company and the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this
Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all the Holders from time to time
of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by any such Holder.
13.5 Amendment. This Warrant and all other Warrants may be modified or
amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company
and the Majority Holders, provided that no such Warrant may be modified or
amended to reduce the number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which such
Warrant is exercisable or to increase the price at which such shares may be
purchased upon exercise of such Warrant (before giving effect to any adjustment
as provided therein) without the prior written consent of the Holder thereof.
13.6 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Warrant
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant is held to be prohibited by
or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be
15
16
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of this Warrant.
13.7 Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for convenience of
reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
13.8 CHOICE OF LAW. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE
AND PERFORMED THEREIN.
