exchange or market for the Common Stock (the “Principal Market”) on such

(g) “Warrant Shares” shall mean

Warrant.
2. Exercise
or Exchange of Warrant.
(a) This
Warrant may be exercised by the Warrant Holder, in whole or in part, at any time
upon and after the Exercise Date and from time to time thereafter by surrender
of this Warrant, together with the form of exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Exercise Form”) duly
executed by the Warrant Holder, together with the full Purchase Price (as
defined in Section 1) for each share of Common Stock as to which this
Warrant is then exercised, to the Company at the address set forth in
Section 15 hereof. At the option of the Warrant Holder, payment
of the Purchase Price may be made either by (i) certified check payable to the
order of the Company, (ii) surrender of certificates then held representing, or
deduction from the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant of,
that number of shares which has an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for all shares to be purchased
pursuant to this Warrant on such date, or (iii) by any combination of the
foregoing methods.
(b) In
the event that this Warrant is not exercised in full, the number of Warrant
Shares shall be reduced by the number of such Warrant Shares for which this
Warrant is exercised, and the Company, at its expense, shall forthwith issue and
deliver to or upon the order of the Warrant Holder a new Warrant of like tenor
in the name of the Warrant Holder or as the Warrant Holder may request,
reflecting such adjusted number of Warrant Shares.
(c) The
“date of exercise” of
this Warrant shall be the date that the completed Exercise Form is delivered to
the Company, together with the original Warrant and payment in full of the
Purchase Price.
3. Delivery
of Stock Certificates.
(a) Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, as soon as practicable after the
exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within five (5)
Business Days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including, without
limitation, the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be
issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrant Holder, or as the Warrant
Holder may lawfully direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock to which the Warrant Holder
shall be entitled on such exercise, together with any other stock or other
securities or property (including, where applicable, cash or any Rights
Certificates issuable under the Rights Agreement) to which the Warrant Holder is
entitled upon such exercise in accordance with the provisions
hereof.
(b) This
Warrant may not be exercised as to fractional shares of Common
Stock. In the event that the exercise of this Warrant, in full or in
part, would result in the issuance of any fractional share of Common Stock, then
in such event the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to cash equal to the Fair
Market Value of such fractional share.
4. Representations
and Warranties by the Initial Warrant Holder. The
Initial Warrant Holder represents and warrants to the Company, as of the date of
this Warrant, as follows:
(a) This
Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof are being acquired
for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in
connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning
of the Securities Act. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant
Holder shall, if so requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that the securities issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant are being acquired for investment and not with a view
toward distribution or resale.
(b) The
Warrant Holder understands that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act by reason of their issuance in a transaction
exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that they must be held
by the Warrant Holder indefinitely, and that the Warrant Holder must therefore
bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless and until there
is a subsequent disposition thereof which is registered under the Securities Act
or is exempt from such registration. The Warrant Holder further
understands that the Warrant Shares have not been qualified under the California
Securities Law of 1968 (the “California Law”) by reason of
their issuance in a transaction exempt from the qualification requirements of
the California Law pursuant to Section 25102(f) thereof, which exemption
depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Warrant Holder’s
investment intent expressed above.
(c) The
Warrant Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of
this Warrant and the Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to the terms of this
Warrant.
(d) The
Warrant Holder is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Warrant
Shares pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.
(e) The
Warrant Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501
of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
5. Covenants
of the Company.
(a) The
Company shall take all reasonable and necessary action and proceedings as may be
required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, including,
without limitation, the notification of the Principal Market, for the legal and
valid issuance of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to the Warrant
Holder.
(b) From
the date hereof through the last date on which this Warrant is exercisable, the
Company shall take all steps necessary and within its control to ensure that the
Common Stock remains listed or quoted on the Principal Market and shall not
amend its Certificate of Incorporation, its By-Laws or the Rights Agreement so
as to adversely affect any rights of the Warrant Holder under this Warrant
differently than the rights of other holders of the Company’s Common Stock;
provided, however, that
increasing the number of authorized shares shall not be deemed such an adverse
effect.
(c) The
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and
delivery as Warrant Shares hereunder, such number of shares of Common Stock as
shall from time to time be issuable as Warrant Shares.
(d) The
Warrant Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will be duly
authorized and, when paid for or issued in accordance with the terms hereof,
shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Company
has authorized and reserved for issuance the requisite number of shares of
Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Warrant.
(e) With
a view to making available to the Warrant Holder the benefits of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and any other
rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit Warrant Holder
to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the
Company agrees to use its best efforts to: (i) make and keep public information
available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times;
and (ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act.
(f) So
long as the Rights Agreement is in effect, the Company shall ensure that the
holder of any Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall hold
the same rights to receive Rights or shares of the Company’s Series A
Preferred Stock, as the case may be, as each other holder of shares of Common
Stock who is not an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights
Agreement).
6. Adjustment
of Purchase Price and Number of Shares. The number of and
kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other
Issuances. If the Company shall at any time after the date
hereof but prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its outstanding
securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, by stock split,
spin-off, or otherwise, or combine its outstanding securities as to which
purchase rights under this Warrant exist, the number of Warrant Shares as to
which this Warrant is exercisable as of the date of such subdivision or
combination shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a
subdivision, or proportionately decreased in the case of a
combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the
Purchase Price, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of
Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant as of such date shall remain the
same.
(b) Stock Dividend. If
at any time after the date hereof the Company declares a dividend or other
distribution on Common Stock payable in Common Stock or other securities or
rights convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Common Stock
Equivalents”), without payment of any
consideration by holders of Common Stock for the additional shares of Common
Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof), then the number of shares
of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be increased as of
the record date (or the date of such dividend distribution if no record date is
set) for determining which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive
such dividends, in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding
shares (and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all such
securities convertible into Common Stock) of Common Stock as a result of such
dividend, and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount
payable for the purchase of all the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder
immediately after the record date (or on the date of such distribution, if
applicable), for such dividend shall equal the aggregate amount so
payable.
(c) Other
Distributions. If at any time after the date hereof the
Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock, other than as part of a
dissolution or liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, any shares of its
capital stock, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets without payment
of any consideration by holders of Common Stock (other than cash, Common Stock
or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock), then, in any
such case, the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of
this Warrant, with respect to each share of Common Stock issuable upon such
exercise, the amount of cash or evidences of indebtedness or other securities or
assets which such Warrant Holder would have been entitled to receive with
respect to each such share of Common Stock as a result of the happening of such
event had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the record date or
other date determining the shareholders entitled to participate in such
distribution.
(d) Merger, Consolidation,
etc. If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into, or a transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company to, another entity (a “Consolidation Event”), then
the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive upon such transfer, merger or
consolidation becoming effective, and upon payment of the aggregate Purchase
Price then in effect, the number of shares and/or other securities and/or
property of the Company or of the successor entity resulting from such merger or
consolidation which would have been received by the Warrant Holder for the
shares of stock subject to this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to such transfer, merger or consolidation becoming effective
or to the applicable record date thereof, as the case may be. The
Company shall not effect any Consolidation Event unless the resulting successor
entity (if not the Company) either (i) is obligated by operation of law and
without further action on the part of the Company or the Warrant Holder, or (ii)
assumes by written instrument the obligation, to deliver to the Warrant Holder
upon exercise of this Warrant such shares of stock and/or other securities
and/or property as the Warrant Holder would have been entitled to receive had
this Warrant been exercised in accordance with the preceding
sentence.
(e) Reclassification,
Etc. If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a
reclassification of any securities as to which purchase rights under this
Warrant exist, into the same or a different number of securities of any other
class or classes, then the Warrant Holder shall thereafter be entitled to
receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and
upon payment of the Purchase Price then in effect, the number of shares or other
securities or property resulting from such reorganization or reclassification,
which would have been received by the Warrant Holder for the shares of stock
subject to this Warrant had this Warrant at such time been
exercised.
(f) Purchase Price
Adjustment. In the event that the Company issues or sells any
Common Stock or securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for its
Common Stock or any convertible securities, or any warrants or other rights to
subscribe for or to purchase or any options for the purchase of its Common Stock
or any such convertible securities (other than issuance of shares of Common
Stock upon conversion thereof, shares or options issued or which may be issued
to employees, directors or consultants of or to the Company pursuant to the
Company's stock option or stock purchase plans as in effect on the date of
execution and delivery of this Warrant, or shares issued upon exercise of
options, warrants or rights outstanding on such date) at an effective purchase
price per share which is less than the Fair Market Value on the trading day next
preceding such issue or sale (or if the Common Stock is not then traded, the
next preceding Business Day), then and in each such case, the Purchase Price in
effect immediately prior to such issue or sale shall be reduced effective
concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale by a fraction,
(x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis immediately prior to such
issue or sale, assuming the issuance of all shares of Common Stock then issuable
upon exercise of all outstanding options, warrants or other rights to subscribe
for or purchase Common Stock, including, without duplication, all outstanding
Warrants, plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock which the
aggregate consideration received by the Company for such additional shares would
purchase at the Fair Market Value then in effect, and (y) the denominator of
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a
fully-diluted basis immediately after such issue or sale, assuming the issuance
of all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all outstanding
options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock,
including, without duplication, all outstanding Warrants.
The
foregoing price adjustment shall not apply to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock which may be issued upon exercise of options under the Company's employee
or director stock option plans, upon the conversion or exchange of convertible
or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of warrants or other rights,
which options, convertible or exchangeable securities, warrants or other rights
are outstanding on the date of execution and delivery of this
Warrant.
The
number of shares which may be purchased shall be increased proportionately to
any reduction in Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 6(f), so that
after such adjustments the aggregate Purchase Price payable hereunder for the
increased number of shares of Common Stock shall be the same as the aggregate
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustments.
(g) Additional Shares, Securities or
Assets. In the event that at any time, as a result of an
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6, the Warrant Holder shall, upon
exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares and/or other
securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever appropriate, all
references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to and
include such shares and/or other securities or assets, and thereafter the number
of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable
to the provisions of this Section 6.
(h) Other
Adjustments. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by
the provisions of this Section 6 but not expressly provided for by such
provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation
rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the
Company's Board of Directors, acting in good faith and consistent with their
fiduciary duties, shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Purchase Price and
the number of shares of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant
so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants; provided, that no
such adjustment shall increase the Purchase Price or decrease the number of
shares of Warrant Shares obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this
Section 6.
(i) Maximum Number of Warrant
Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no
event shall the Company take any action which would result in the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant, together with all other
outstanding warrants issued pursuant to the Agreement, is exercisable exceeding
307,108, such number being subject to subsequent adjustment pursuant to and in
accordance with Section 6(a) above, without the Company’s first having received
such approval from its shareholders or other Persons as may be required by the
regulations of the Principal Market or any other applicable law or
regulation.
7. No
Impairment. The Company will
not, by amendment of its Articles 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 action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect
the rights of the Warrant Holder against impairment. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the par value
of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, and
(b) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.
8. Notice of
Adjustments; Notices.
Whenever the Purchase Price or number of Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Company shall
execute and deliver (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Warrant Holder
a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the
adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment
was calculated, and the Purchase Price and number of shares of Common Stock or
other securities purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such
adjustment.
9. Rights as
Shareholder. Prior to exercise
of this Warrant, the Warrant Holder shall not be entitled to any rights as a
shareholder of the Company with respect to the Warrant Shares, including
(without limitation) the right to vote such shares, receive dividends or other
distributions thereon (other than pursuant to Sections 6(b) and 6(c)) or be
notified of stockholder meetings. However, in the event of any taking
by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, 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, the Company
shall mail to the Warrant Holder, at least 10 days prior to the date specified
therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken
for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and
character of such dividend, distribution or right.
10. Replacement
of Warrant. Upon receipt of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of the Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction of the Warrant, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement or security
reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any
such mutilation of the Warrant, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant,
the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new
Warrant of like tenor.
11. Consent
to Jurisdiction. THE COMPANY (A)
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, OR ANY STATE COURT
LOCATED IN NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT AND (B) HEREBY WAIVES, AND
AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT
IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT, THAT THE SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR THAT THE VENUE OF
THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. THE COMPANY CONSENTS TO
PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY
THEREOF TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS
WARRANT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT
SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF. NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL AFFECT OR
LIMIT ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY
LAW.
12. Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Warrant and
the Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to
the matters covered hereby and thereby. No provision of this Warrant
may be waived or amended other than by a written instrument signed by the party
against whom enforcement of any such amendment or waiver is sought.
13. Restricted
