2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT
-------------------
2.1. Manner of Exercise. Subject to the Company's right to repurchase this
Warrant in whole or in part set forth in Section 6, from and after the First
Exercise Date and until 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date,
Holder may exercise this Warrant, on any Business Day, for all or any part of
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder (in increments of not
less than 100 shares of Common Stock unless fewer than 100 shares of Common
Stock are then exercisable).
In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, Holder shall
deliver to the Company at the office or agency designated by the Company
pursuant to Section 12, (i) a written notice of Holder's election to exercise
this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to
be purchased, (ii) payment by cash, check or bank draft payable to the Company
of the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash or by wire transfer or cashier's check
drawn on a United States bank and (iii) this Warrant. Such notice shall be
substantially in the form of the subscription form appearing at the end of this
Warrant as Exhibit A, duly executed by Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon
receipt of the items referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, of
receipt of such notice the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, [and in
any event within three (3) Business Days,] execute or cause to be executed and
deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as
hereinafter provided. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall
be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as Holder
shall request in the notice and shall be registered in the name of Holder or,
subject to Section 3, such other name as shall be designated in the notice. This
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or
certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other Person
so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of
record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been
exercised by payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price. If this
Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of
delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Stock, deliver
to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the
unpurchased shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant
shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
2.2. Payment of Taxes and Charges. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and without any preemptive rights. The
Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other
governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issue or delivery
thereof.
2.3. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a
fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon
such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final
fraction in an amount equal to the then current Market Price, multiplied by such
fraction.
4
2.4. Continued Validity. A holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part (other than a holder who acquires
such shares after the same have been publicly sold pursuant to a Registration
Statement under the Securities Act or sold pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder),
shall continue to be entitled with respect to such shares to all rights to which
it would have been entitled as Holder under Sections 9, 10 and 14 of this
Warrant. The Company will, at the time of exercise of this Warrant, in whole or
in part, upon the request of Holder, acknowledge in writing, in form reasonably
satisfactory to Holder, its continuing obligation to afford Holder all such
rights; provided, however, that if Holder shall fail to make any such request,
such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford
to Holder all such rights.
3. TRANSFER RIGHTS OF THIS WARRANT AND WARRANT STOCK

hypothecated or assigned before the satisfaction of the conditions specified in

subject to this Section 3, execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination specified in
such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new
Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, which
Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant, and this

compliance with this Section 3, may be exercised by a new Holder for the
purchase of shares of Common Stock without having a new Warrant issued.
(b) Opinion of Counsel or Registration. The Holder by accepting this
Warrant agrees that this Warrant may not be assigned or otherwise

pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act or (ii)
a registration statement relating to such securities has been filed by the

form:
"THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
STATE, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF
SUCH ACT, THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER OR ANY
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
WARRANT."
3.5 Transfer of the Warrant Stock. The Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant shall not be transferred, hypothecated or assigned before
satisfaction of the conditions specified in this Section 3.5, which conditions
are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the Transfer of any Warrant Stock. Holder, by acceptance of this
Warrant, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.
(a) Opinion of Counsel or Registration. The Holder by accepting this
Warrant and any Warrant Stock agrees that the Warrant Stock issuable upon
exercise hereof may not be assigned or otherwise transferred unless and
until (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company for the Holder that such securities may be sold
pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act or (ii)
a registration statement relating to such securities has been filed by the
Company and declared effective by the Commission.
(b) Restrictive Legend. Each certificate for Warrant Stock issuable
hereunder shall bear a legend substantially worded as follows unless such
securities have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act:
"The securities represented by this certificate have
not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Act") or any state securities laws.
The securities may not be offered for sale, sold,
assigned, offered, transferred or otherwise
distributed for value except (i) pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Act or any
state securities laws or (ii) pursuant to an
exemption from registration or prospectus delivery
requirements under the Act or any state securities
laws in respect of which the Company has received an
opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company to such effect. Copies of the agreement
covering both the purchase of the securities and
restricting their transfer may be obtained at no cost
by written request made by the holder of record of
this certificate to the Secretary of the Company at
the principal executive offices of the Company."

3.6. Notice of Proposed Transfers. Prior to any Transfer or attempted
Transfer of any Warrants or any shares of Warrant Stock, the Holder shall give
ten (10) days' prior written notice (a "Transfer Notice") to the Company of
Holder's intention to effect such Transfer, describing the manner and
circumstances of the proposed Transfer, and obtain from counsel to Holder an
opinion that the proposed Transfer of such Warrants or such Warrant Stock may be
effected without registration under the Securities Act or state securities laws.
After the Company's receipt of the Transfer Notice and opinion, such Holder
shall thereupon be entitled to Transfer such Warrants or such Warrant Stock, in
accordance with the terms of the Transfer Notice. Each certificate, if any,
evidencing such shares of Warrant Stock issued upon such Transfer and the
Warrant issued upon such Transfer shall bear the restrictive legends set forth
in this Section 3, unless in the opinion of such counsel such legend is not
required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act.
3.7. Termination of Restrictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of Section 3, the restrictions imposed by this Section upon the transferability
of the Warrants and the Warrant Stock and the legend requirements of Section 3
shall terminate as to any particular Warrant or share of Warrant Stock (i) when
and so long as such security shall have been effectively registered under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and disposed of pursuant
thereto or (ii) when the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such shares may be transferred
without registration thereof under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws. Whenever the restrictions imposed by Section 3 shall terminate
as to this Warrant, as hereinabove provided, the Holder hereof shall be entitled
to receive from the Company upon written request of the Holder, at the expense
of the Company, a new Warrant bearing the following legend in place of the
restrictive legend set forth hereon:

________, 20__, AND ARE OF NO FURTHER FORCE AND
EFFECT."
All Warrants issued upon registration of transfer, division or combination of,
or in substitution for, any Warrant or Warrants entitled to bear such legend
shall have a similar legend endorsed thereon. Whenever the restrictions imposed
by this Section shall terminate as to any share of Warrant Stock, as hereinabove
provided, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company, at
the Company's expense, a new certificate representing such Common Stock not
bearing the restrictive legends set forth in Section 3.
3.8. Listing on Securities Exchange. If the Company shall list any shares
of Common Stock on any securities exchange, it will, at its expense, list
thereon, maintain and, when necessary, increase such listing of, all shares of
Common Stock issued or, to the extent permissible under the applicable
securities exchange rules, issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant so long as
any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed during the Exercise Period;
provided, that only shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant
that are registered or freely transferable shall be listed on any securities
exchange.

4. ADJUSTMENTS
-----------
The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable,
or the Exercise Price, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set
forth in this Section 4.
4.1. Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the
Company shall:
(a) pay a dividend in Common Stock or make a distribution in Common
Stock,
(b) issue, by reclassification of its Common Stock, other securities
of the Company,
(c) subdivide its Outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares of Common Stock, or
(d) combine its Outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock,
then (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted
to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to
receive after the happening of such event, and (ii) the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the
adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
4.2. Certain Other Distributions.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1, no adjustment in
respect of any dividends or distributions out of earnings shall be made
during the term of this Warrant or upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(b) If at any time the Company shall issue any Common Stock or any
rights, options, warrants or Convertible Securities to all or substantially
all holders of record of its Common Stock, without any charge to such
holders, entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock
at a price per share less than the Market Price per share of the Common
Stock on the date fixed for such issue, the number of shares of Common
Stock thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be
determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore
purchasable upon exercise of such Warrant by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately
prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or Convertible
Securities plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for
subscription or purchase, and the denominator of which shall be the number
8
of shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of
the rights, options, warrants or Convertible Securities plus the number of
shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares
offered would purchase at such Market Price. Such adjustment shall be made
whenever such rights, options, warrants or Convertible Securities are
issued, and shall become effective immediately and retroactive to the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
rights, options, warrants or Convertible Securities.
(c) If at any time the Company shall distribute to all or
substantially all Holders of its Common Stock, evidences of its
indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions out of
earnings) or rights, options, warrants or Convertible Securities containing
the right to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (excluding those
referred to in Section 4.2(b) above), then in each case the number of
shares of Common Stock thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common
stock theretofore purchasable upon exercise of such Warrant by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the Market Price on the date of such
distribution, and the denominator of which shall be such Market Price on
such date minus the then fair value (determined by the Company's Board of
Directors) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so
distributed or of such subscription rights, options, warrants or
Convertible Securities applicable to one 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 the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution.
4.3. Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The
following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the
Exercise Price provided for in this Section 4:
(a) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this
Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event
requiring an adjustment shall occur. For the purpose of any adjustment, any
specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business
on the date of its occurrence.
(b) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section
4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account and
shall round up to the nearest whole share.
(c) When Adjustment Not Required.
(i) If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend
or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall,
thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof,
legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend,
distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no
adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record
and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be
rescinded and annulled.
9
(ii) No adjustment shall be required pursuant to this Section 4
unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least one percent in the number of shares of Common stock then
purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants or, if the Warrants are
not then exercisable, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
upon the exercise of the Warrants on the first date thereafter that
the Warrants become exercisable; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this Subsection 4.3(c)(ii) are not
required to be made immediately shall be carried forward and taken
into account in any subsequent adjustment.
(iii) No adjustment shall be required pursuant to this Section 4
in connection with the grant or exercise of presently authorized or
outstanding options to purchase Common Stock under the Company's
existing stock option plan or the exercise of presently outstanding
options, warrants or other securities convertible into shares of
Common Stock.
(d) Challenge to Good Faith Determination. Whenever the Board of
Directors of the Company shall be required to make a determination in good
faith of the fair value of any item under this Section 4, such
determination may be challenged in good faith by the Holder, and any
dispute shall be resolved by an investment banking firm of recognized
national standing selected by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the
Company.
4.4. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition
of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its
capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the
Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or
distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, transfer
or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or
business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of
assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any
cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever
(including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or
in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("Other
Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock
of the Company, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon
exercise of the Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor
or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor
or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the
due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and
condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all
the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may
be deemed appropriate, subject to the Holder's consent, in order to provide for
adjustments of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided
for in this Section 4. For purposes of this Section 4.4, "common stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of
any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class
of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall
10
also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities
which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either
immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a
specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase
any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly
apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations
or disposition of assets.
4.5. Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case at any time or from time
to time the Company shall take any action in respect of its Common Stock, other
than any action taken in the ordinary course of the Company's business or any
action described in this Section 4, which would have a material adverse effect
upon the rights of the Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock and/or the
purchase price thereof shall be adjusted in such manner as may be equitable in
the circumstances, as determined in good faith by an investment bank selected by
Holder.
4.6. No Voting Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle its Holder to any
voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company.
5. NOTICES TO HOLDER

5.1. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable, or whenever the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall give Holder notice of any

such event, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the
adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated, specifying

number and kind of any other shares of stock or Other Property for which this
Warrant is exercisable, and any change in the purchase price or prices thereof,
after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Company shall keep at its

entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder
at the last address of Holder appearing on the books of the Company and
delivered in accordance with Section 14.2.
6. REPURCHASE BY THE COMPANY
-------------------------
6.1 Repurchases by the Company. At any time during the Repurchase Period,
the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, establish a date (each
such date a "Repurchase Date") on which the Company shall be entitled to
repurchase all or any portion of this Warrant at the Repurchase Price. For
purposes hereof, "Repurchase Period" means the time period commencing after the
later to occur of (i) the date which is thirty (30) months after the Warrant
Issuance Date, and (ii) the date on which the Warrant Stock has been registered
for resale by the holders thereof with the Commission and terminating on the
Expiration Date.
6.2 Repurchase Notice. The Company shall deliver a Repurchase Notice to the
Holder of this Warrant at least sixty (60) days prior to the Repurchase Date;
provided, however, that if the Company shall fail to provide the Repurchase
Notice because of the failure of the Holder to provide a current address, such
failure shall not affect the effectiveness of the repurchase of this Warrant by
the Company.
7. RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF COMMON STOCK
---------------------------------------------
From and after the date of this Warrant, the Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number
of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to
permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. All shares of Common
Stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of any Warrant and
payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant, shall be duly and
validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive
rights.
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the
Exercise Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take any corporate
action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally
issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted
Exercise Price.
12
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number
of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions
thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory
body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
8. TAKING OF RECORD; STOCK AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS
--------------------------------------------------
In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to the
holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4
refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such
case take such a record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The
Company will not at any time close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer
books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any
Warrant.
9. NO IMPAIRMENT
-------------
The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder
against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor
upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use its best efforts to obtain all
such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body
having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform
its obligations under this Warrant.
Upon the request of Holder, the Company will at any time during the period
this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form reasonably
satisfactory to Holder, the continuing validity of this Warrant and the
obligations of the Company hereunder.
10. SUPPLYING INFORMATION
---------------------
The Company shall cooperate with Holder in supplying such information as
may be reasonably necessary for Holder to complete and file any information
reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition
to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale of any
Warrant or Warrant Stock.
13
11. LOSS OR MUTILATION
------------------
Upon receipt by the Company from Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that
the written agreement of the Holder shall be sufficient indemnity), and in case
of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute
and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor to Holder; provided, in
the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in
identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.
12. OFFICE OF THE COMPANY
---------------------
As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall
maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices of
the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of
transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant, such office to be
initially located at 00000 X. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, fax (303)
000-0000, provided, however, that the Company shall provide prior written notice
to Holder of a change in address no less than thirty (30) days prior to such
change.
13. REGISTRATION RIGHTS
-------------------
13.1. Piggyback Registration Rights. If at any time the Company shall
determine to register any of its shares of Common Stock, for the account of any
of its shareholders, other than a registration statement relating solely to
employee benefit plans, a registration statement on Form S-4 pertaining to an
acquisition transaction or a registration on a registration form that does not
permit secondary sales, the Company will:
(a) promptly give to Holder written notice thereof;
(b) use its best efforts to include in such registration (and any
related qualification under the blue sky laws or other compliance), except
as set forth in Section 13.2 below, all of the Registrable Securities
specified in a written request or requests, made by the Holder within
twenty (20) days after the written notice from the Company described in the
previous clause (a) is given. Such request may specify all or a part of
Holder's Registrable Securities; and
(c) pay all Registration Expenses, other than the selling expenses of
Holder's Registrable Securities.
13.2. Underwriting. If the Registration is for a registered public offering
involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holder as a part of
the written notice given pursuant to this Section. In such event, the rights of
the Holder hereunder are conditioned upon Holder's participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of the Holder's Registrable Securities in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein. To the extent that the Holder
proposes to distribute its securities through such underwriting, the Holder
shall (together with the Company and any other securityholders of the Company
distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting by the Company.
14
13.3 Exclusion of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section, if the managing underwriter of the underwriting
determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares
to be offered in connection with such underwriting, the managing underwriter may
limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration
and underwriting. The Company shall so advise any of its other securityholders
who are distributing their securities through such underwriting pursuant to
their respective piggyback registration rights, and the number of shares of
Registrable Securities and other securities that may be included in the
registration and underwriting shall be allocated first to the Company for
securities being sold for its own account and thereafter to the Holder, pro rata
with any other holders of Common Stock having registration rights at the time of
the filing of the registration statement. If the Holder disapproves of the terms
of any such underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice
to the Company. Any Registrable Securities so excluded or withdrawn from such
underwriting shall be withdrawn from such Registration. If Registrable
Securities are so withdrawn from the registration or if the number of shares of
Registrable Securities to be included in such registration was previously
reduced as a result of marketing factors, the Company shall then offer to all
persons who have retained the right to include securities in the registration
the right to include additional securities in the registration in an aggregate
amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be
allocated among the persons requesting additional inclusion pro rata amongst
those persons requesting inclusion.
13.4. Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration effected by
the Company pursuant to Section 13, the Company will keep Holder advised in
writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion
thereof, at its expense, the Company will use its best efforts to:
(a) Keep such registration effective for a period of one hundred
twenty (120) days or until the Holder has completed the distribution
described in the registration statement relating thereto, whichever first
occurs; provided, however, that (i) such 120-days period shall be extended
for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains from selling
any securities included in such registration at the request of an
underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company; and (ii)
in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which
are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 120-day
period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement
effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold, provided that
Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act, or any successor rule under
the Securities Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis,
and provided further that applicable rules under the Securities Act
governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu
of filing a post-effective amendment that (1) includes any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (2) reflects facts or
events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement, the incorporation by reference of
information required to be included in (1) and (2) above to be contained in
periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in the registration statement;
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply
with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
of all securities covered by such registration statement;
15
(c) Furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents incident
thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, as the
Holder from time to time may reasonably request;
(d) Notify the Holder at any time when a prospectus relating thereto
is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of
any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in
the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of the
Holder, prepare and furnish to the Holder, a reasonable number of copies of
a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so
that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such
prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the
circumstances then existing;
(e) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant
hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar
securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(f) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
Securities registered pursuant to such registration statement and a CUSIP
number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the
effective date of such registration; and
(g) Otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules
and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security
holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering
the period of at least twelve months, but not more than eighteen months,
beginning with the first month after the effective date of the Registration
Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section
11(a) of the Securities Act.
14. MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
14.1. Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure
to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver
of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder's rights, powers or remedies,
notwithstanding all rights hereunder terminate on the Expiration Date. If the
Company fails to make, when due, any payments provided for hereunder, or fails
to comply with any other provision of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to
Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any direct and indirect
losses, damages, costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in
collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its
rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
14.2. Notices. Except as may be otherwise provided herein, any notices,
requests, demands or other communication or delivery required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or sent by
16
certified mail, postage prepaid, or by a nationally recognized overnight courier
service, and shall be deemed given when so delivered personally or by overnight
courier service, or, if mailed, two (2) days after the date of deposit in the

the terms of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled
to attorneys' fees actually incurred in addition to any other relief to which
such party is entitled.
14.4. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of Section 4, this
Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and assigns of
Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all
Holders from time to time of this Warrant and, with respect to Section 4 hereof,
holders of Warrant Stock, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder or holder
of Warrant Stock.
14.5. Amendment. This Warrant may be modified, supplemented or amended or
the provisions hereof waived only with the prior written consent of the Company
and the Holder.
14.6. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under
17
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
14.7. Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience
of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this
Warrant.
14.8. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Colorado, without regard to the provisions thereof relating to conflict
of laws.
14.9 Counterparts; Facsimile. This Warrant may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which,
when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of
which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Warrant by facsimile shall be
equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this
Warrant. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Warrant by
facsimile shall also deliver an original executed counterpart of this Warrant
but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the
validity, enforceability and binding effect of this Warrant.
