2
successor person as may be entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to
the Company or such successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this Warrant
pursuant to this Section 1.
2. Procedure for Exercise.
2.1 Delivery of Stock Certificates, Etc., on Exercise. The
Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such
shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have
been surrendered and payment made for such shares in accordance herewith. As
soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and
in any event within three (3) business days thereafter, the Company at its
expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause
to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as such Holder (upon
payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in
compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for
the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on
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 Fair
Market Value of one full share, together with any other stock or other
securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder
is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
2.2 Exercise. Payment may be made either (i) in cash or by
certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to
the applicable aggregate Exercise Price, (ii) by delivery of the Warrant, or
shares of Common Stock and/or Common Stock receivable upon exercise of the
Warrant in accordance with Section (b) below, or (iii) by a combination of any
of the foregoing methods, for the number of Common Shares specified in such
Exercise Notice (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any
adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder
per the terms of this Warrant) and the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to
receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as
provided herein. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the
Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise
Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising
this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value
(as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised)
by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together
with the properly endorsed Exercise Notice in which event the Company shall
issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the
following formula:
X=Y (A-B)
---------
A
Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the
Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being
exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at
the date of such calculation)
3
A = the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company's Common
Stock (at the date of such calculation)
B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation)
3. Effect of Reorganization, Etc.; Adjustment of Exercise Price.
3.1 Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case at any
time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b)
consolidate with or merge into any other person (other than any such
consolidation or merger involving the Company in which shares of the Company's
capital stock outstanding immediately prior to such consolidation or merger
continue to represent, or are converted or exchanged for shares of capital stock
which represent, immediately following such consolidation or merger at least a
majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of (i) the surviving or
resulting corporation, or (ii) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a
wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such
consolidation or merger, the parent of such surviving or resulting corporation),
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, as a condition to the consummation of such a
transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby
the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 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 receive, in
lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on 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, all
subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.
3.2 Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the
Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or
assets, the Company, in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, and concurrently
with any distributions made to holders of its Common Stock, shall at its expense
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the stock and other securities
and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of the
Warrant pursuant to Section 3.1, or, if the Holder shall so instruct the
Company, to a bank or trust company specified by the Holder and having its
principal office in New York, NY as trustee for the Holder of the Warrant.
3.3 Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization,
consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer)
referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and
effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective
date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall
be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in
the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of
the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have
expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4. In the
event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the
consummation of the
4
transactions described in this Section 3, then the Company's securities and
property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holders of the
Warrant will be delivered to Holder or the Trustee as contemplated by Section
3.2.
4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that
the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend
or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such
event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such
event, be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event (calculated on a fully-diluted basis) and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event(calculated on a fully-diluted basis), and the
product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The
Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the
happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4.
The number of shares of Common Stock that the holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to
receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator
is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect
on the date of such exercise.
5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment
or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on
the exercise of the Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its
Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment
or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the 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, including a
statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any
additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed
to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this
Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as
adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith
mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of the Warrant and any
Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).
6. Reservation of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant.
The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance
and delivery on the exercise of the Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.
7. Assignment. This Warrant may not be assigned or transferred in
whole or in part without the prior written consent of the Company, determined in
is sole discretion, and any purported assignment or transfer in violation hereof
shall be null and void.

Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement and bond or other security
satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such
mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its
expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

Holder of the Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock
(or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1,

thereafter any such issuance or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made
at such office by such agent.
10. Registration Rights. The Holder and the Company agree that in
satisfaction of any and all obligations of the Company to register the resale of
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company

effective registration statement filed with the Commission pursuant to the terms
