REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
To Purchase 5,000 Shares of Common Stock of
MINES MANAGEMENT, INC.
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the "Warrant") CERTIFIES that,
for value received,
the "Holder"), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on
exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the
date of issuance of this Warrant (the "Initial Exercise Date") and on or prior
to the fifth anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the "Termination Date")
but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Mines Management, Inc.,
an Idaho corporation (the "Company"), up to 5,000 shares (the "Warrant Shares")
of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common
Stock"). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock (the "Exercise
Price") under this Warrant shall be $7.25, subject to adjustment hereunder.
The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is
exercisable shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein. CAPITALIZED
TERMS USED AND NOT OTHERWISE DEFINED HEREIN SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS SET FORTH
IN THAT CERTAIN SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (THE "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), DATED
FEBRUARY 3, 2004, AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE PURCHASERS SIGNATORY THERETO.
1. Title to Warrant. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to
compliance with applicable laws and Section 7 of this Warrant, this Warrant and
all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or
agency of the Company by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto
properly endorsed. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
2. Authorization of Shares. The Company covenants that all Warrant
Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other
than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issue).
<PAGE>
3. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be made at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise
Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of
a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed
hereto (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate
by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of such
Holder appearing on the books of the Company); provided, however, within
5 Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the
Company, the Holder shall have surrendered this Warrant to the Company
and the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier's check
drawn on a United States bank. Certificates for shares purchased
hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder within 5 Trading Days from the
delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this
Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above
("Warrant Share Delivery Date"). This Warrant shall be deemed to have
been exercised on the later of the date the Notice of Exercise is
delivered to the Company by facsimile copy and the date the Exercise
Price is received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to
have been issued, and 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 Warrant has been exercised by
payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be
paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 5 prior to the issuance
of such shares, have been paid. If the Company fails to deliver to the
Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares
pursuant to this Section 3(a) by the fifth Trading Day following the
Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to
rescind such exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise by
the fifth Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after
such day the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the
Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a "Buy-In"), then the
Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the
Xxxxxx's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any)
for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount
obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company
was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at
issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such
purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder,
either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of
Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the
Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued
had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery
obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock
having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect
to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale
price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause
(1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required
to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written
<PAGE>
notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence
reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a
Xxxxxx's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at
law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's
failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
(b) If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the
Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this
Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this
Warrant.
(c) The Holder shall not have the right to exercise any
portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 3(a) or otherwise, to the extent
that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, the Holder (together
with the Holder's affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of
Exercise, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of
the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance.
For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to
which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the
number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of
the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the
Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the
unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any other Warrants) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth
in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(c), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act, it being acknowledge by Xxxxxx that the Company is not representing to
Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be
filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in
this Section 3(c) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is
exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder) and of which
a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of
such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be
such Xxxxxx's determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which portion of this Warrant
is exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation,
and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of
such determination. For purposes of this Section 3(c), in determining the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company's most
recent Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the
Company's Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall
<PAGE>
within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number
of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to
the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this
Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.
(d) If at any time after one year from the date of issuance
of this Warrant there is no effective Registration Statement registering
the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, this Warrant may also be
exercised at such time by means of a "cashless exercise" in which the
Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of
Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by
(A), where:
(A) = the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding
the date of such election;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means
of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
4. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be
entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash
adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such
fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.
5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for
Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such
certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and
such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or
names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event
certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name
of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied
by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the
Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to
reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
6. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder
books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this
Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
7. Transfer, Division and Combination.
(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws
and the conditions set forth in Sections 1 and 7(e) hereof and to the
provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all
rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this
Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with a written
assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly
<PAGE>
executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender
and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the
denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and
shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this
Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A
Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the
purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
(b)This Warrant may be divided or combined with other
Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office 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.
Subject to compliance with Section 7(a), 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.
(c)The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own
expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this
Section 7.
(d)The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office,
books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
(e)If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in
connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant
shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the
Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the
Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the
Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance
and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the
effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the
holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in
form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be
an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7),
or (a)(8) promulgated under the Securities Act or a qualified institutional
buyer as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
8. No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise. This Warrant does not
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and
the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or by means of a cashless
exercise), the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued
to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business
on the later of the date of such surrender or payment.
9. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company
covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any
stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in
<PAGE>
the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated,
the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like
tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock
certificate.
10.Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day
for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be
taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday,
Sunday or legal holiday.
11. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares.
(a) Stock Splits, etc. The number and kind of securities
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of any of the
following. In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common
Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of its
outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue any shares
of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, then the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior
thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the
kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which it
would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been
exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number
of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which are purchasable
hereunder, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of
Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at an
Exercise Price per Warrant Share or other security obtained by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment
and dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company
that are purchasable pursuant hereto immediately thereafter. An adjustment
made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the
effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such
event.
(b) Anti-Dilution Provisions. During the Exercise Period,
the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided
in this Section 11(b). In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price
as required herein results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall
be rounded up or down to the nearest cent.
(i) Adjustment of Exercise Price. If and whenever the
Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 11(b)(ii)
hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock
for an effective consideration per share of less than the then
Exercise Price or for no consideration (such lower price, the "Base
Share Price" and such issuances collectively, a "Dilutive
Issuance"), then, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the
Base Share Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever shares of
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued.
<PAGE>
(ii) Effect on Exercise Price of Certain Events. For
purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section
11(b) hereof, the following will be applicable:
(A) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the
Company in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights
or options, whether or not immediately exercisable, to
subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents (such warrants, rights and options to purchase
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are hereinafter
referred to as "Options") and the effective price per share
for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such
Options is less than the Exercise Price ("Below Base Price
Options"), then the maximum total number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Below Base Price
Options (assuming full exercise, conversion or exchange of
Common Stock Equivalents, if applicable) will, as of the date
of the issuance or grant of such Below Base Price Options, be
deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by
the Company for such price per share and the maximum
consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise
(assuming full exercise, conversion or exchange of Common
Stock Equivalents, if applicable) will be deemed to have been
received by the Company. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, the "effective price per share for which Common
Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Below Base Price
Options" is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if
any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration
for the issuance or granting of all such Below Base Price
Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the
exercise of all such Below Base Price Options, plus, in the
case of Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon the exercise
of such Below Base Price Options, the minimum aggregate
amount of additional consideration payable upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Common Stock
Equivalents first become exercisable, convertible or
exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Below
Base Price Options (assuming full conversion of Common Stock
Equivalents, if applicable). No further adjustment to the
Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such
Common Stock upon the exercise of such Below Base Price
Options or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of
Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon exercise of such Below
Base Price Options.
(B) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If
the Company in any manner issues or sells any Common Stock
Equivalents, whether or not immediately convertible (other
than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of
Options) and the effective price per share for which Common
Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange
is less than the Exercise Price, then the maximum total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise,
<PAGE>
conversion or exchange of all such Common Stock Equivalents
will, as of the date of the issuance of such Common Stock
Equivalents, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company for such price per share and
the maximum consideration payable to the Company upon such
exercise (assuming full exercise, conversion or exchange of
Common Stock Equivalents, if applicable) will be deemed to
have been received by the Company. For the purposes of the
preceding sentence, the "effective price per share for which
Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or
exchange" is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if
any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration
for the issuance or sale of all such Common Stock
Equivalents, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the
exercise, conversion or exchange thereof at the time such
Common Stock Equivalents first become exercisable,
convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of all such Common Stock Equivalents.
No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon
the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon exercise,
conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.
(C) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate.
If there is a change at any time in (i) the amount of
additional consideration payable to the Company upon the
exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the
exercise, conversion or exchange of any Common Stock
Equivalents; or (iii) the rate at which any Common Stock
Equivalents are convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock (in each such case, other than under or by reason of
provisions designed to protect against dilution), the
Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change will be
readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in
effect at such time had such Options or Common Stock
Equivalents still outstanding provided for such changed
additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the
case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.
(D) Calculation of Consideration Received. If
any Common Stock, Options or Common Stock Equivalents are
issued, granted or sold for cash, the consideration received
therefor for purposes of this Warrant will be the amount
received by the Company therefor, before deduction of
reasonable commissions, underwriting discounts or allowances
or other reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Company
in connection with such issuance, grant or sale. In case any
Common Stock, Options or Common Stock Equivalents are issued
or sold for a consideration part or all of which shall be
other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than
cash received by the Company will be the fair market value of
such consideration, except where such consideration consists
of securities, in which case the amount of consideration
<PAGE>
received by the Company will be the fair market value
(closing bid price, if traded on any market) thereof as of
the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Options or
Common Stock Equivalents are issued in connection with any
merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving
corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be
deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the net
assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is
attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Common Stock
Equivalents, as the case may be. The fair market value of
any consideration other than cash or securities will be
determined in good faith by an investment banker or other
appropriate expert of national reputation selected by the
Company and reasonably acceptable to the holder hereof, with
the costs of such appraisal to be borne by the Company.
(E) Exceptions to Adjustment of Exercise Price.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made
under this Section 11(b) in respect of (1) the granting of
options to employees, officers or directors of the Company
pursuant to any stock option plan duly adopted by a majority
of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the
Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-
employee directors established for such purpose or (2) upon
the exercise of or conversion of any Common Stock Equivalents
or Options issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date,
provided that the securities have not been amended since the
date of the Purchase Agreement except as a result of the
Purchase Agreement.
(i) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment of
the Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less
than 1% of the Exercise Price in effect at the time
such adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but
any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and
shall be made at the time and together with the next
subsequent adjustment which, together with any
adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not
less than 1% of such Exercise Price.
12. 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 its property, assets or
business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, 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 the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to receive, at the option of the Holder, (a) upon exercise of this
<PAGE>
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 or (b) cash equal to the value of this Warrant
as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing formula. 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 in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Company) in order to provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares for which this
Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to
the adjustments provided for in this Section 12. For purposes of this Section
12, "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 12 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.
13. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company may at any
time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to
any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
14. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or
number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company
shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the number of
Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other
securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by
which such adjustment was made.
15. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
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,
<PAGE>
(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 Holder (i) at
least 20 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, 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 20 days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take
place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify
(i) 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 (ii) 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 Warrant Shares for securities or other property
deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder at
the last address of Xxxxxx appearing on the books of the Company and delivered
in accordance with Section 17(d).
16. Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period
the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.
The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall
constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of
executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates
for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this
Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary
to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the
Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder,
the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending
its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of
assets, consolidation, 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 will 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 Holder as set forth in
this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant
Shares 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 Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions
<PAGE>
or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may
be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the
number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise 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.
17. Miscellaneous.
(a)Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction,
validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(b)Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant
Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have
restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(c)Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay
or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Xxxxxx's rights, powers or
remedies, notwithstanding all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination
Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any
provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder,
the Company shall pay to 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 Xxxxxx in
collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its
rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
(d)Notices. Any notice, request or other document required
or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be
delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(e)Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the
absence of any affirmative action by Xxxxxx to exercise this Warrant or
purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges
of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of
any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(f)Remedies. Holder, 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
xxxxxx agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that
a remedy at law would be adequate.
<PAGE>
(g)Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities
laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the
successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are
intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant
and shall be enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
(h)Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the
provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the
Holder.
(i)Severability. Wherever 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 shall be prohibited by or
invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
(j)Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the
convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part
of this Warrant.
