NETSOL INTERNATIONAL, INC.
WARRANT
Warrant No.[___] Dated:[_________], 2001
NetSol International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"),
hereby certifies that, for value received, [_________________] or its registered
assigns ("Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to
purchase from the Company up to a total of [________] shares of common stock,
$.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company (each such share,
a "Warrant Share" and all such shares, the "Warrant Shares") at an exercise
price equal to $[______] per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in
Section 8, the "Exercise Price"), at any time and from time to time from and
after the date hereof and through and including [_____________], 2006 (the
"Expiration Date"), and subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. REGISTRATION OF WARRANT. The Company shall register this Warrant,
upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "Warrant
Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by
notice to the contrary.
2. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES.
(a) The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of
this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the
Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Transfer
Agent or to the Company at its address for notice set forth in Section 12. Upon
any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to
1
purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new
warrant, a "New Warrant"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred
shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining
portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the
transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof
shall be deemed the acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and
obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
(b) This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by
the Holder to the office of the Company at its address for notice set forth in
Section 12 for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right
to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder.
Any such New Warrant will be dated the date of such exchange.
3. DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder
on any business day before 5:30 P.M., New York City time, at any time and from
time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date.
At 5:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this
Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.
(b) Upon delivery of a duly completed and signed Form of
Election to Purchase attached hereto (and the Warrant Exercise Log attached
hereto as Annex A) duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address for
notice set forth in Section 12 and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied
by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder,
in the manner provided hereunder, all as specified by the Holder in the Form of
Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 3
business days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue or cause to
be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder
and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the
Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends except
(i) either in the event that a registration statement covering the resale of the
Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not
then effective or the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or (ii) if this Warrant shall have been
issued pursuant to a written agreement between the original Holder and the
Company, as required by such agreement. Any person so designated by the Holder
to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of
such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant. The Company
shall, upon request of the Holder, if available, use its best efforts to deliver
Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation
or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
A "Date of Exercise" means the date on which the Company shall
have received (i) the Form of Election to Purchase (together with the Warrant
Shares Exercise Log) completed
2
and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of
Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.
(c) This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its entirety
or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares.
(d) Commencing at any time after the date of the issuance of
this Warrant, if (i) the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement (or such other Subsequent Market (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) on which the Common Stock is then listed or
quoted for trading) for any 20 consecutive Trading Days exceeds 200% of the
Exercise Price (a "Trigger Period"), and (ii) the Warrant Shares are either
registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement naming the
Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder or freely transferable without volume
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act, as
determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter
addressed and in form and substance acceptable to the Holder and the transfer
agent for the Common Stock, then the Company shall have the right, upon 30 days'
notice to the Holder given not later than five (5) Trading Days after the
conclusion of any such Trigger Period (the "Redemption Notice"), to redeem all
of the then issuable Warrant Shares at a price of $.001 per Warrant Share (the
"Redemption Price"), on the date set forth in the Redemption Notice, but in no
event earlier than 30 days following the date of the receipt by the Holder of
the Redemption Notice (the "Redemption Date"). The Holder may exercise this
Warrant at any time prior to the Redemption Date. Any portion of this Warrant
not exercised by 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date shall no
longer be exercisable and shall be returned to the Company, and the Company,
upon its receipt of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, shall issue
therefor in full and complete satisfaction of its obligations under such
remaining portion of this Warrant to the Holder an amount equal to the number of
shares of Common Stock then issuable hereunder multiplied by the Redemption
Price. The Redemption Price shall be mailed to such Holder at its address of
record, and the Warrant shall be canceled.
4. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS. This Warrant is subject to the
piggyback registration rights granted under the Registration Rights Agreement
and such piggyback registration rights shall continue until all of the Holder's
Warrant Shares have been sold in accordance with an effective registration
statement or upon the Expiration Date. The Company will pay all registration
expenses in connection therewith.
5. PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes
attributable to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this
Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration
of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of
the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may
arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant
Shares upon exercise hereof.
6. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed,
3
the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for
and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a
New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of such loss, theft or destruction and indemnity, if requested,
satisfactory to it. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall
also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such
other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.
7. RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES. The Company covenants that it will at
all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant
Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant
Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire
Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase
rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and
restrictions of Section 8). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares that
shall be so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the
applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and
validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
8. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to
time as set forth in this Section 8.
(a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) shall pay a stock dividend (except scheduled dividends paid on
outstanding preferred stock as of the date hereof which contain a stated
dividend rate) or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of
its Common Stock or on any other class of capital stock payable in shares of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares, or (iii) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction
of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury
shares, if any) outstanding after such event. In such event, the number of
Warrant shares issuable under this Warrant shall be equitably adjusted to
reflect such event (e.g. in the event of a 2:1 stock split of the Common Stock,
the number of Warrant shares shall be increased to twice the number available
for purchase prior to the record date for such stock split). Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in
the case of a subdivision or combination, and shall apply to successive
subdivisions and combinations.
(b) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock or any
compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into
other securities, cash or property, then the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to exercise this Warrant only into the shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders
4
of Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the
Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or
property equal to the amount of Warrant Shares such Holder would have been
entitled to had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such
reclassification or share exchange. The terms of any such reclassification or
share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder
the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section 8(b)
upon any exercise following any such reclassification or share exchange.
(c) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to holders
of this Warrant) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in
Sections 8(a), (b) and (d)), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be
determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Exercise Price
determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator
shall be such Exercise Price on such record date less the then fair market value
at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so
distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by
the Company's independent certified public accountants that regularly examines
the financial statements of the Company (an "Appraiser").
(d) If the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable
with respect to Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below), at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or rights,
warrants, options or other securities or debt that is convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents") entitling
any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the
Exercise Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so
issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments,
reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise,
or due to warrants, options or rights issued in connection with such issuance,
be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Exercise
Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise
Price), then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the issuance of such Common Stock or such Common Stock Equivalents plus
the number of shares of Common Stock which the offering price for such shares of
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents would purchase at the Exercise Price,
and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares
of Common Stock so issued or issuable, provided, that for purposes hereof, all
shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed outstanding immediately after the
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents. Such adjustment shall be made
whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company
shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the business day following the
issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this section,
indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price,
5
exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms.
(e) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company of more than one-half of
the assets of the Company (on a book value basis) in one or a series of related
transactions, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to (A) exercise this
Warrant for the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property
receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such
merger, consolidation or sale, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event
or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and
property as the Common Stock for which this Warrant could have been exercised
immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been
entitled or (B) in the case of a merger or consolidation, (x) require the
surviving entity to issue common stock purchase warrants equal to the number
Warrant Shares to which this Warrant then permits, which newly warrant shall be
identical to this Warrant, and (y) simultaneously with the issuance of such
warrant, the Holder of such warrant shall have the right to exercise such
warrant only into shares of stock and other securities, cash and property
receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such
merger or consolidation or (C) require the surviving entity from such merger,
acquisition or business combination to pay to the Holder, in cash, the Black
Scholes value of this Warrant. In the case of clause (B), the exercise price for
such new warrant shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property
that each share of Common Stock would receive in such transaction and the
Exercise Price of this Warrant immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing
date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation
shall include such terms so as continue to give the Holder the right to receive
the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion
or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to
successive such events.
(f) For the purposes of this Section 8, the following clauses
shall also be applicable:
(i) RECORD DATE. In case the Company shall take a
record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A)
to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or in
securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, or (B) to
subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable
into shares of Common Stock, then such record date shall be deemed to be the
date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other
distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or
purchase, as the case may be.
(ii) TREASURY SHARES. The number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or
held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such
shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(g) All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the
nearest cent or
6
the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
(h) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to
Section 8(c) above, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the
Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall
be a nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case the adjustment shall
be equal to the average of the adjustments recommended by each of the Appraiser
and such appraiser. The Holder shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to the
Company, a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and
setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Such
adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned
above.
(i) If:
(i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any
other distribution) on its Common Stock; or
(ii) the Company shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a
redemption of its Common Stock; or
(iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to
all holders of the Common Stock rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any class or of
any rights; or
(iv) the approval of any stockholders of the
Company shall be required in connection with
any reclassification of the Common Stock,
any consolidation or merger to which the
Company is a party, any sale or transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company, or any compulsory share
exchange whereby the Common Stock is
converted into other securities, cash or
property; or
(v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the affairs of the Company,
then the Company shall cause to be mailed to each Holder at their last addresses
as they shall appear upon the Warrant Register, at least 20 calendar days prior
to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to
be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be
entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to
be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of
record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share
7
exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; provided, however, that the
failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof
shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified
in such notice.
9. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price
in one of the following manners:
(a) CASH EXERCISE. The Holder may deliver immediately
available funds; or
(b) CASHLESS EXERCISE. The Holder may surrender this Warrant
to the Company together with a notice of cashless exercise, in which event the
Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as
follows:
X= Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
X= the number of Warrant Shares to be
issued to the Holder.
Y= the number of Warrant Shares with
respect to which this Warrant is
being exercised.
A= the average of the closing sale
prices of the Common Stock for the
five (5) trading days immediately
prior to (but not including) the
Date of Exercise.
B= the Exercise Price.
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless
exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and
the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been
commenced, on the issue date.
10. CERTAIN EXERCISE RESTRICTIONS.
(a) A Holder may not exercise this Warrant to the extent such
exercise would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof,
beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the rules
promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.999% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon such exercise and held by
such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be
obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may
hold at the time of an exercise hereunder, unless the exercise at issue would
result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.999% of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may
be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall
8
have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained
in this Section will limit any particular exercise hereunder and to the extent
that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section
applies, the determination of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall
be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered
a Form of Election to Purchase for a number of Warrant Shares that, without
regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially
own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder,
the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the exercise
for the maximum portion of this Warrant permitted to be exercised on such Date
of Exercise in accordance with the periods described herein and, at the option
of the Holder, either keep the portion of the Warrant tendered for exercise in
excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future exercises or return such
excess portion of the Warrant to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may
be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon
not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be
unaffected by any such waiver.
(b) A Holder may not exercise this Warrant to the extent such
exercise would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof,
beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the
then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable
upon such exercise and held by such Holder after application of this Section.
Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of
shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of an exercise hereunder, unless
the exercise at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in
excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard
to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an
affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to
determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any
particular exercise hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that
the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which
portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the responsibility and
obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Form of Election to
Purchase for a number of Warrant Shares that, without regard to any other shares
that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the
issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify
the Holder of this fact and shall honor the exercise for the maximum portion of
this Warrant permitted to be exercised on such Date of Exercise in accordance
with the periods described herein and, at the option of the Holder, either keep
the portion of the Warrant tendered for exercise in excess of the permitted
amount hereunder for future exercises or return such excess portion of the
Warrant to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder
(but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 61 days
prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such
waiver.
11. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to issue or
cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.
The number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant
Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any fraction of
a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable on
9
the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to
the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
12. NOTICES. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the
earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is
delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this
Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a business day, (ii) the
business day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is
delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this
Section later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date and earlier than
11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, (iii) the business day following
the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service,
or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be
given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to the Company, to
0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, facsimile: (818)
222-9197, attention Chief Financial Officer, or (ii) if to the Holder, to the
Holder at the address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or
such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company
in accordance with this Section.
13. WARRANT AGENT. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a
new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant
agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to
which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.
14. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Warrant
may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their
successors and assigns.
(b) Subject to Section 14(a), above, nothing in this Warrant
shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Company
and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause under this Warrant.
This Warrant shall inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and
the Holder.
(c) The corporate laws of the State of Nevada shall govern all
issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its stockholders. All
other questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to
the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The Company and the Holder
10
hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Holder
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by receiving a copy thereof
sent to the Company at the address in effect for notices to it under this
instrument and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
(d) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.
(e) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant
shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good
faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a
commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall
incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.
