WARRANT CERTIFICATE
100,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants
Teaneck, New Jersey
Warrant Certificate No. SOS-1 January 15, 2001
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, SOS Resource Services,

Warrant Certificate, is the registered owner of the number of Common Stock
Purchase Warrants (each, a "Warrant") set forth above, each Warrant entitling

share (the "Exercise Price"), all subject to the terms and conditions contained
herein. The number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate (and the
number and kind of securities which may be purchased upon exercise hereof) set
forth above, and the Exercise Price per share set forth above, are as of the
date hereof.
As provided herein, the Exercise Price and the number of shares of
Common Stock or other securities which may be purchased upon the exercise of the
Warrants evidenced by this
-1-
Warrant Certificate are, upon the happening of certain events, subject to
modification and adjustment.
This Warrant Certificate, together with any warrant certificate(s)
issued in replacement or substitution hereof (as provided for herein) evidencing
all or part of the Warrants evidenced hereby, are sometimes collectively
referred to herein as the "Warrant Certificates."
The rights of the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate shall
be subject to the following further terms and conditions:
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.
--------------------
(a) The Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, on or prior to
the Expiration Time by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the purchase
form provided for herein duly executed by the Warrantholder or by the
Warrantholder's duly authorized attorney-in-fact, at the principal office of the
Company, presently located at Glenpointe Centre East, 300 Xxxxx X. Xxxx
Xxxxxxxxx - 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000, or at such other office or
agency in the United States as the Company may designate by notice in writing to
the Warrantholder (in either event, the "Company Offices"), accompanied by
payment in full, either in the form of cash, bank cashier's check or certified
check payable to the order of the Company, of the Exercise Price payable in
respect of the Warrants being exercised. If fewer than all of the Warrants are
exercised, the Company shall, upon each exercise prior to the Expiration Time,
execute and deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant Certificate (dated as of
the date hereof) evidencing the balance of the Warrants that remain exercisable.
(b) On the date of exercise of the Warrants, the Warrantholder
exercising same shall be deemed to have become the holder of record for all
purposes of the Warrant Shares to which the exercise relates.
(c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of all or part of the
Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Company, at its expense
(including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes), will cause to be
issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrantholder a certificate or
certificates evidencing the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares to which the Warrantholder shall be
entitled upon such exercise.
(d) No certificates for fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon
the exercise of any of the Warrants but, in lieu thereof, the Company shall,
upon exercise of all the Warrants, round up any fractional Warrant Share to the
nearest whole share of Common Stock.
2. ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK; RESERVATION OF SHARES.
-----------------------------------------------
(a) The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares which may
be issued upon the exercise of all or part of the Warrants will, upon issuance
in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issue thereof.
-2-
(b) The Company further covenants and agrees that if any shares of
Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of Warrant Shares
upon the exercise of Warrants require registration with, or approval of, any
governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be
validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will promptly use
its best efforts to effect such registration or obtain such approval, as the
case may be.
3. Adjustments of Exercise Price, Number and Character of Warrant Shares, and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of Warrants.
------------------
The Exercise Price and the number and kind of securities purchasable
upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time upon the happening of the events enumerated in this Section 3.
(a) STOCK DIVIDENDS, SUBDIVISIONS AND COMBINATIONS. In case the
Company shall at any time on or before the Expiration Time:
(i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or other stock
of the Company or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock or such
other stock to holders of all its outstanding shares of Common Stock;
(ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares;
(iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock or
(iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock
other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification in
connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the
continuing corporation),
then the number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each
Warrant outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the
Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of
Common Stock or other securities of the Company which the Warrantholder would
have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the
events described above had such Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior
to the earlier of the happening of such event or any record date in respect
thereto. In the event of any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of each then outstanding Warrants pursuant to this
Paragraph 3(a), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to be the amount resulting
from dividing the number of shares of Common Stock (including fractional shares
of Common Stock) covered by such Warrant immediately after such adjustment into
the total amount payable upon exercise of such Warrant in full immediately prior
to such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this Paragraph 3(a) shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive
to the record date for any such event. Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
-3-
(b) EXTRAORDINARY DIVIDENDS. In case the Company shall at any time on
or before the Expiration Time fix a record date for the issuance of rights,
options, or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock,
entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after such record date) to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for
or convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share of Common Stock
(or having an exchange or conversion price per share of Common Stock, with
respect to a security exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common
Stock) which is lower than the current Market Price per share of Common Stock
(as defined in Paragraph 3(d) below) on such record date, then the Exercise
Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such record date by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number
of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number
of shares of Common Stock so to be offered (or the aggregate initial exchange or
conversion price of the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered)
would purchase at such current Market Price and (ii) the denominator shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the
number of additional shares of Common Stock to be offered for subscription or
purchase (or into which the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be
offered are initially exchangeable or convertible). Such adjustment shall become
effective at the close of business on such record date; however, to the extent
that shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into
shares of Common Stock) are not delivered after the expiration of such rights,
options, or warrants, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted (but only with
respect to Warrants exercised after such expiration) to the Exercise Price which
would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such
rights, options, or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the
number of shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible
into shares of Common Stock) actually issued. In case any subscription price may
be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than
cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company and shall be described in a statement
mailed to the Warrantholder. Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the
account of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any
such computation.
(c) EXTRAORDINARY DISTRIBUTIONS. In case the Company shall at any time
after the original date of issuance of the Warrants distribute to all holders of
its shares of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection
with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving
corporation) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends
and distributions payable out of consolidated net income or earned surplus in
accordance with Delaware law and dividends or distributions payable in shares of
stock described in Paragraph 3(a) above) or rights, options, or warrants or
exchangeable or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible
into shares of Common Stock), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date
for such distribution by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the
current Market Price per share of Common Stock (as defined in Paragraph 3(d)) on
such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described
in a notice to the Warrantholders) of the portion of the evidences of
indebtedness or assets so to be distributed or of such rights, options or
warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock and (ii) the denominator
-4-
shall be such current Market Price per share of Common Stock. Such
adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall
become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for
such transaction.
(d) CURRENT MARKET PRICE DEFINED. For the purpose of any computation
under Paragraphs 3(b) and/or 3(c), the current Market Price per share of Common
Stock at any date shall be deemed to be the average daily Closing Price of the
shares of Common Stock for twenty consecutive trading days ending within fifteen
days before the date in question. The term "Closing Price" of the shares of
Common Stock for a day or days shall mean (i) if the shares of Common Stock are
listed or admitted for trading on a national securities exchange, the last
reported sales price regular way, or, in case no such reported sale takes place
on such day or days, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices
regular way, in either case on the principal national securities exchange on
which the shares of the Common Stock are listed or admitted for trading, or (ii)
if the shares of Common Stock are not listed or admitted for trading on a
national securities exchange, (A) the last transaction price for the Common
Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") or, in the case no such reported
transaction takes place on such day or days, the average of the reported closing
bid and asked prices thereof quoted on Nasdaq, or (B) if the shares of Common
Stock are not quoted on Nasdaq, the average of the closing bid and asked prices
of the Common Stock as quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board maintained
by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "Bulletin Board"),
or (C) if the shares of Common Stock are not quoted on Nasdaq nor on the
Bulletin Board, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the common
stock in the over-the- counter market, as reported by Xxxxxxxxxx.xxx, Inc., or
an equivalent generally accepted reporting service, or (iii) if on any such
trading day or days the shares of Common Stock are not quoted by any such
organization, the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on such day or
days, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company,
shall be used.
(e) MINIMUM ADJUSTMENT. Except as hereinafter provided, no adjustment
of the Exercise Price hereunder shall be made if such adjustment results in a
change of the Exercise Price then in effect of less than five cents ($.05) per
share. Any adjustment of less than five cents ($.05) per share of any Exercise
Price shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together
with any subsequent adjustment which, together with adjustment or adjustments so
carried forward, amounts to five cents ($.05) per share or more. However, upon
exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall make all necessary
adjustments (to the nearest cent) not theretofore made to the Exercise Price up
to and including the effective date upon which this Warrant Certificate is
exercised.
(f) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted pursuant to this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver a
certificate signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Chief
Financial Officer, Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the
event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by
which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on
which the Board of Directors of the Company made any determination hereunder),
by first class mail postage prepaid to each Warrantholder.

(g) CAPITAL REORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER RECLASSIFICATIONS. In case of
any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification of the
shares of Common Stock (other than a reclassification, subdivision or
combination of shares of Common Stock referred to in Paragraph 3(a)), or in case
of the consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company with, or
merger of the Company into, any other corporation (other than a reclassification
of the shares of Common Stock referred to in Paragraph 3(a) or a consolidation
or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock) or of the sale of the properties and assets
of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation or
entity, each Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification
of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale, be exercisable, upon
the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant Certificate, for the kind,
amount and number of shares or other securities, assets, or cash to which a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable (at the time of such
capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock,
consolidation, merger or sale) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been
entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares
of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale; and in any such case, if
necessary, the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with respect to the rights
and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so
as to be applicable, as nearly equivalent as possible, to any shares or other
securities, assets, or cash thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the
Warrants. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, or sale,
unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor
corporation or entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such
consolidation or merger or the corporation or entity purchasing such assets or
other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument, the
obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder such shares, securities, assets, or
cash as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be
entitled to purchase and the other obligations hereunder. The subdivision or
combination of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding into a greater or
lesser number of shares shall not be deemed to be a reclassification of the
shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Paragraph 3(e).
(h) ADJUSTMENTS TO OTHER SECURITIES. In the event that at any time, as
a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, the Warrantholder
shall become entitled to purchase any shares or securities of the Company other
than the shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares or
securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the exercise price
for such shares or securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as possible to the provisions with
respect to the shares of Common Stock contained in Paragraphs 3(a) through (e),
inclusive.
(i) DEFERRAL OF ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES IN CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES. In any case in which this Section 3 shall require that an
adjustment in the Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a
specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such
event issuing to the Warrantholder exercised after such record date the shares
of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Warrant
Shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Price
in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall
deliver as soon as practicable to such holder a due xxxx or other appropriate
instrument provided by the Company evidencing such holder's right to receive
such additional shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of the event
requiring such adjustment.
-6-
(j) FAILURE TO FILE EXCHANGE ACT REPORTS. In the event the Company
fails to file any report or reports on a timely basis with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and such failure results in the Company losing its eligibility to
file registration statements on Form S-3 for a period of at least thirty (30)
consecutive days, the exercise price of any unexercised Warrants shall be
reduced to $.01 per share.
4. DEFINITION OF COMMON STOCK.
--------------------------
The Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be the
Common Stock as constituted on the date hereof except as otherwise provided in
Section 3.
5. REPLACEMENT OF SECURITIES.

If this Warrant Certificate shall be lost, stolen, mutilated or
destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as the
Company may in its discretion reasonably impose, issue a new certificate of like
tenor or date representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and
purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be subscribed for and
purchased hereunder. Any such new certificate shall constitute an original
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost,
stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone.
6. REGISTRATION.
------------
This Warrant Certificate, as well as all other warrant certificates
representing Warrants shall be numbered and shall be registered in a register
(the "Warrant Register") maintained at the Company Offices as they are issued.
The Warrant Register shall list the name, address and Social Security or other
Federal Identification Number, if any, of all Warrantholders. The Company shall
be entitled to treat the Warrantholder as set forth in the Warrant Register as
the owner in fact of the Warrants as set forth therein for all purposes and
shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in
such Warrants on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any
registration of transfer of Warrants that are registered or to be registered in
the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the
actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in
requesting such registration of transfer, or with such knowledge of such facts

WARRANT CERTIFICATE
100,000 COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
Teaneck, New Jersey
Warrant Certificate No. SOS-2 January 15, 2001
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, SOS Resource Services,
Inc. or registered assigns (the "Warrantholder") permitted by the terms of this
Warrant Certificate, is the registered owner of the number of Common Stock
Purchase Warrants (each, a "Warrant") set forth above, each Warrant entitling
the owner thereof to purchase from Vizacom Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), at any time commencing July 15, 2001 and on or prior to 5:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on January 14, 2004 (the "Expiration Time"), one duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share (each, a "Warrant
Share") of the common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Stock"), of the
Company, at a price of $1.00 per share (the "Exercise Price"), all subject to
the terms and conditions contained herein. The number of Warrants evidenced by
this Warrant Certificate (and the number and kind of securities which may be
purchased upon exercise hereof) set forth above, and the Exercise Price per
share set forth above, are as of the date hereof.
1
As provided herein, the Exercise Price and the number of shares of
Common Stock or other securities which may be purchased upon the exercise of the
Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are, upon the happening of
certain events, subject to modification and adjustment.
This Warrant Certificate, together with any warrant certificate(s)
issued in replacement or substitution hereof (as provided for herein) evidencing
all or part of the Warrants evidenced hereby, are sometimes collectively
referred to herein as the "Warrant Certificates."
The rights of the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate shall
be subject to the following further terms and conditions:
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.
--------------------
(a) The Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, on or after
July 15, 2001 and on or prior to the Expiration Time, by surrendering this
Warrant Certificate, with the purchase form provided for herein duly executed by
the Warrantholder or by the Warrantholder's duly authorized attorney-in-fact, at
the principal office of the Company, presently located at Glenpointe Centre
East, 300 Xxxxx X. Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx - 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000, or at
such other office or agency in the United States as the Company may designate by
notice in writing to the Warrantholder (in either event, the "Company Offices"),
accompanied by payment in full, either in the form of cash, bank cashier's check
or certified check payable to the order of the Company, of the Exercise Price
payable in respect of the Warrants being exercised. If fewer than all of the
Warrants are exercised, the Company shall, upon each exercise prior to the
Expiration Time, execute and deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant
Certificate (dated as of the date hereof) evidencing the balance of the Warrants
that remain exercisable.
(b) On the date of exercise of the Warrants, the Warrantholder
exercising same shall be deemed to have become the holder of record for all
purposes of the Warrant Shares to which the exercise relates.
(c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of all or part of the
Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Company, at its expense
(including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes), will cause to be
issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrantholder a certificate or
certificates evidencing the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares to which the Warrantholder shall be
entitled upon such exercise.
(d) No certificates for fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon
the exercise of any of the Warrants but, in lieu thereof, the Company shall,
upon exercise of all the Warrants, round up any fractional Warrant Share to the
nearest whole share of Common Stock.
2. ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK; RESERVATION OF SHARES.
-----------------------------------------------
(a) The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares which may
be issued upon the exercise of all or part of the Warrants will, upon issuance
in accordance with the
2
terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(b) The Company further covenants and agrees that if any shares of
Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of the issuance of Warrant Shares
upon the exercise of Warrants require registration with, or approval of, any
governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be
validly issued or delivered upon exercise, then the Company will promptly use
its best efforts to effect such registration or obtain such approval, as the
case may be.
3. Adjustments of Exercise Price, Number and Character of Warrant Shares, and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of Warrants.
------------------
The Exercise Price and the number and kind of securities purchasable
upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time upon the happening of the events enumerated in this Section 3.
(a) STOCK DIVIDENDS, SUBDIVISIONS AND COMBINATIONS. In case the
Company shall at any time on or before the Expiration Time:
(i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or other stock
of the Company or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock or such
other stock to holders of all its outstanding shares of Common Stock;
(ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares;
(iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or
(iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock
other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification in
connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the
continuing corporation),
then the number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each
Warrant outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the
Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of
Common Stock or other securities of the Company which the Warrantholder would
have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the
events described above had such Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior
to the earlier of the happening of such event or any record date in respect
thereto. In the event of any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of each then outstanding Warrants pursuant to this
Paragraph 3(a), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to be the amount resulting
from dividing the number of shares of Common Stock (including fractional shares
of Common Stock) covered by such Warrant immediately after such adjustment into
the total amount payable upon exercise of such Warrant in full immediately prior
to such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this Paragraph 3(a) shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such event
3
retroactive to the record date for any such event. Such adjustment shall be
made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) EXTRAORDINARY DIVIDENDS. In case the Company shall at any time on
or before the Expiration Time fix a record date for the issuance of rights,
options, or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock,
entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after such record date) to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for
or convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share of Common Stock
(or having an exchange or conversion price per share of Common Stock, with
respect to a security exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common
Stock) which is lower than the current Market Price per share of Common Stock
(as defined in Paragraph 3(d) below) on such record date, then the Exercise
Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such record date by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number
of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number
of shares of Common Stock so to be offered (or the aggregate initial exchange or
conversion price of the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be offered)
would purchase at such current Market Price and (ii) the denominator shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the
number of additional shares of Common Stock to be offered for subscription or
purchase (or into which the exchangeable or convertible securities so to be
offered are initially exchangeable or convertible). Such adjustment shall become
effective at the close of business on such record date; however, to the extent
that shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into
shares of Common Stock) are not delivered after the expiration of such rights,
options, or warrants, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted (but only with
respect to Warrants exercised after such expiration) to the Exercise Price which
would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such
rights, options, or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the
number of shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible
into shares of Common Stock) actually issued. In case any subscription price may
be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than
cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company and shall be described in a statement
mailed to the Warrantholder. Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the
account of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any
such computation.
(c) EXTRAORDINARY DISTRIBUTIONS. In case the Company shall at any time
after the original date of issuance of the Warrants distribute to all holders of
its shares of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection
with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving
corporation) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends
and distributions payable out of consolidated net income or earned surplus in
accordance with Delaware law and dividends or distributions payable in shares of
stock described in Paragraph 3(a) above) or rights, options, or warrants or
exchangeable or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities exchangeable for or convertible
into shares of Common Stock), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date
for such distribution by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator shall be the
current Market Price per share of Common Stock (as defined in Paragraph 3(d)) on
such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of
4
Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described
in a notice to the Warrantholders) of the portion of the evidences of
indebtedness or assets so to be distributed or of such rights, options or
warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock and (ii) the denominator shall
be such current Market Price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be
made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective on the
date of distribution retroactive to the record date for such transaction.
(d) CURRENT MARKET PRICE DEFINED. For the purpose of any computation
under Paragraphs 3(b) and/or 3(c), the current Market Price per share of Common
Stock at any date shall be deemed to be the average daily Closing Price of the
shares of Common Stock for twenty consecutive trading days ending within fifteen
days before the date in question. The term "Closing Price" of the shares of
Common Stock for a day or days shall mean (i) if the shares of Common Stock are
listed or admitted for trading on a national securities exchange, the last
reported sales price regular way, or, in case no such reported sale takes place
on such day or days, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices
regular way, in either case on the principal national securities exchange on
which the shares of the Common Stock are listed or admitted for trading, or (ii)
if the shares of Common Stock are not listed or admitted for trading on a
national securities exchange, (A) the last transaction price for the Common
Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") or, in the case no such reported
transaction takes place on such day or days, the average of the reported closing
bid and asked prices thereof quoted on Nasdaq, or (B) if the shares of Common
Stock are not quoted on Nasdaq, the average of the closing bid and asked prices
of the Common Stock as quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board maintained
by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "Bulletin Board"),
or (C) if the shares of Common Stock are not quoted on Nasdaq nor on the
Bulletin Board, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the common
stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported by Xxxxxxxxxx.xxx, Inc., or
an equivalent generally accepted reporting service, or (iii) if on any such
trading day or days the shares of Common Stock are not quoted by any such
organization, the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on such day or
days, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company,
shall be used.
(e) MINIMUM ADJUSTMENT. Except as hereinafter provided, no adjustment
of the Exercise Price hereunder shall be made if such adjustment results in a
change of the Exercise Price then in effect of less than five cents ($.05) per
share. Any adjustment of less than five cents ($.05) per share of any Exercise
Price shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together
with any subsequent adjustment which, together with adjustment or adjustments so
carried forward, amounts to five cents ($.05) per share or more. However, upon
exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall make all necessary
adjustments (to the nearest cent) not theretofore made to the Exercise Price up
to and including the effective date upon which this Warrant Certificate is
exercised.
(f) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted pursuant to this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver a
certificate signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Chief
Financial Officer, Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the
event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by
which such adjustment was
5
calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of
Directors of the Company made any determination hereunder), by first class mail
postage prepaid to each Warrantholder.
(g) CAPITAL REORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER RECLASSIFICATIONS. In case of
any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification of the
shares of Common Stock (other than a reclassification, subdivision or
combination of shares of Common Stock referred to in Paragraph 3(a)), or in case
of the consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company with, or
merger of the Company into, any other corporation (other than a reclassification
of the shares of Common Stock referred to in Paragraph 3(a) or a consolidation
or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock) or of the sale of the properties and assets
of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation or
entity, each Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification
of shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale, be exercisable, upon
the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant Certificate, for the kind,
amount and number of shares or other securities, assets, or cash to which a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable (at the time of such
capital reorganization, reclassification of shares of Common Stock,
consolidation, merger or sale) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been
entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of shares
of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, or sale; and in any such case, if
necessary, the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with respect to the rights
and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so
as to be applicable, as nearly equivalent as possible, to any shares or other
securities, assets, or cash thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the
Warrants. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, or sale,
unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor
corporation or entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such
consolidation or merger or the corporation or entity purchasing such assets or
other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument, the
obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder such shares, securities, assets, or
cash as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be
entitled to purchase and the other obligations hereunder. The subdivision or
combination of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding into a greater or
lesser number of shares shall not be deemed to be a reclassification of the
shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Paragraph 3(e).
(h) ADJUSTMENTS TO OTHER SECURITIES. In the event that at any time, as
a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, the Warrantholder
shall become entitled to purchase any shares or securities of the Company other
than the shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares or
securities so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the exercise price
for such shares or securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as possible to the provisions with
respect to the shares of Common Stock contained in Paragraphs 3(a) through (e),
inclusive.
(i) DEFERRAL OF ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES IN CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES. In any case in which this Section 3 shall require that an
adjustment in the Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a
specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such
event issuing to the Warrantholder exercised after such record date the shares
of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Warrant
Shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Price
in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that
6
the Company shall deliver as soon as practicable to such holder a due xxxx
or other appropriate instrument provided by the Company evidencing such holder's
right to receive such additional shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of
the event requiring such adjustment.
(j) FAILURE TO FILE EXCHANGE ACT REPORTS. In the event the Company
fails to file any report or reports on a timely basis with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and such failure results in the Company losing its eligibility to
file registration statements on Form S-3 for a period of at least thirty (30)
consecutive days, the exercise price of any unexercised Warrants shall be
reduced to $.01 per share.
4. DEFINITION OF COMMON STOCK.
--------------------------
The Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be the
Common Stock as constituted on the date hereof except as otherwise provided in
Section 3.
5. REPLACEMENT OF SECURITIES.
-------------------------
If this Warrant Certificate shall be lost, stolen, mutilated or
destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as the
Company may in its discretion reasonably impose, issue a new certificate of like
tenor or date representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and
purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be subscribed for and
purchased hereunder. Any such new certificate shall constitute an original
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost,
stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone.
6. REGISTRATION.
------------
This Warrant Certificate, as well as all other warrant certificates
representing Warrants shall be numbered and shall be registered in a register
(the "Warrant Register") maintained at the Company Offices as they are issued.
The Warrant Register shall list the name, address and Social Security or other
Federal Identification Number, if any, of all Warrantholders. The Company shall
be entitled to treat the Warrantholder as set forth in the Warrant Register as
the owner in fact of the Warrants as set forth therein for all purposes and
shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in
such Warrants on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any
registration of transfer of Warrants that are registered or to be registered in
the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the
actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in
requesting such registration of transfer, or with such knowledge of such facts
that its participation therein amounts to bad faith.
