EXERCISE OF WARRANT
2.1 VESTING AND EXERCISABILITY. The right to purchase shares of Common
Stock shall immediately vest and become exercisable on the date hereof. Absent
an adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the maximum aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to purchase hereunder
shall be 418,627.
2.2 METHOD OF EXERCISE. To the extent this Warrant is exercisable from
time to time, to exercise this Warrant, the Holder shall deliver to the Company
at the Warrant Office designated to Section 3.1 (a) a Notice of Exercise
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by the
Holder specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased; (b) payment of
an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for all such Warrant Shares,
which shall be made (i) in cash or by certified or bank cashier's check payable
to the order of the Company, or (ii) by delivery to the Company of that number
of shares of Common Stock having a value computed based upon the
2
3
Market Price, equal to the then applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the
number of Warrant Shares then being purchased, and (c) this Warrant. In the
alternative, this Warrant may be exercised on a net basis, such that, without
the exchange of any funds, the Holder receives that number of Warrant Shares
subscribed to less that number of Warrant Shares having an aggregate value
computed based upon the Market Price equal to the aggregate Exercise Price that
would otherwise have been paid by such Holder for the number of Warrant Shares
subscribed to. The Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event
within five (5) days thereafter, cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder
(or its nominee) a certificate or certificates representing the number of
Warrant Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise. The stock certificate or
certificates so delivered shall be in denominations of shares as my be
specified in said notice and shall be issued in the name of the Holder or such
other name as shall be designated in said notice. At the time of delivery of
the certificate or certificates, appropriate notation shall be made on the
Warrant Shares Purchase Schedule attached to this Warrant designating the
number of shares purchased, and this Warrant shall then be returned to the
Holder if this Warrant has been exercised only in part. The Holder shall be
deemed to have become the Holder of such Warrant Shares for all purposes as of
the close of business on the date on which the Notice of Exercise is delivered
to the Warrant Office, provided that an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise
Price and this Warrant shall have also been delivered to the Company. The
Company shall pay all expenses, taxes, (excluding capital gains and income
taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance
and delivery of stock certificates.
2.3 SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID AND NON-ASSESSABLE. All Warrant Shares
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall validly issued, fully paid,
non-assessable and free from preemptive rights.
2.4 NO FRACTIONAL SHARES TO BE ISSUED. The Company shall not be
required upon any exercise of this Warrant to issue to certificate representing
any fraction of a share of Common Stock.
2.5. LEGEND ON WARRANT SHARES. Each certificate for Warrant Shares
issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such
shares are registered under the Act, shall bear substantially the following
legend (and any additional legend required by any national securities exchanges
upon which such shares may, at the time of such exercise, be listed or under
applicable securities laws):
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"),
AND AS SUCH MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED,
PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN
EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH WARRANT OR SECURITIES, OR UNLESS SOLD IN
FULL COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS THE
COMPANY SHALL RECEIVE AN OPINION FROM COUNSEL TO HOLDER, REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS
NOT REQUIRED."
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon
completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under
the Act of the securities represented thereby) shall also bear the above legend
unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, the securities represented
thereby need no longer be subject to the restrictions on transferability. In
addition, the provisions of Article IV shall be binding upon all subsequent
holders of this Warrant.
2.6 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF CONTINUING OBLIGATION. The Company shall, at the
time of any exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, upon request of the
Holder, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to such holder in
respect of any rights to which the Holder shall continue to be entitled after
exercise in accordance with this Warrant; provided, however, that the failure
of the Holder to make any such request shall not affect the continuing
obligation of the Company to the

Holder in respect of such rights.

counsel as set forth in Section 4.2(a) above.

ARTICLE V
ADJUSTMENTS
5.1 ADJUSTMENTS TO NUMBER OF STOCK UNITS. The number of shares of
Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as set forth in this Section 5.1.
(a) STOCK DIVIDENDS, SUBDIVISIONS AND COMBINATION. In case at
any time or from time to time the Company shall: (i) take a record of the
holders of its Common Stock of any series for the purpose of entitling them to
receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock, or (ii)
subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares
of Common Stock, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock; then the number of shares of Common
Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately after the happening of any such event
shall be adjusted so as to consist of the number of shares of Common Stock that
a record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit
immediately prior to the happening of such event would own or be entitled to
receive after the happening of such event. The adjustments required by this
subsection shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring
an adjustment shall occur.
(b) CERTAIN OTHER DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. In case at any
time or from time to time the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other
distribution of: (i) cash (other than a cash distribution made as a dividend
payable out of the net earnings or net profits of the Company realized during
the year of such distribution or the last preceding year and accumulated net
earnings or net profits of the Company from the date hereof to the time of such
distribution, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles employed by the Board of Directors of the Company for purposes of
financial reports to shareholders of the Company); or (ii) any evidences of its
indebtedness, any shares of its stock or any other securities or property of
any nature whatsoever (other than cash); then at least five (5) business days
prior to the record date to determine shareholders entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution, the Company shall give notice of such proposed
dividend or distribution to the Holder for the purpose of enabling the Holder
to exercise the same, and thereby participate in such dividend or distribution.
(c) OTHER PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ADJUSTMENT UNDER THIS
SECTION. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of
adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit
hereinbefore provided for in this Section 5.1:
(i) When Adjustments to be Made. The adjustments
required by the preceding subsections of this Section 5.1 shall be made
whenever and as often as any specified event
5
6
requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that no adjustment of the number of
shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit that would otherwise be required
shall be made (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of
the Common Stock, as provided for in Subsection 5.1 (a)) unless and until such
adjustment, either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made,
adds or subtracts at least 1/20th of a share to or from the number of shares of
Common Stock comprising a Stock Unit immediately prior to the making of such
adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum
amount (except as aforesaid) shall be carried forward and made as soon as such
adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this section and not
previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment. 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.
(ii) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments
under this section, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into
account to the nearest one-thousandth of a share.
(iii) When Adjustment Not Required - Abandonment of
Plan for Dividend and the Like. 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 shareholders 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.
(d) REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, MERGER, CONSOLIDATION
OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital,
reclassify its capital stock, merge or consolidate into another corporation,
then the number of shares of stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be adjusted to consist of the number of shares of stock or other
securities that a record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such event would
own or be entitled to receive immediately after such event.
5.2. NOTICE TO HOLDER. Whenever the Company takes any action that
causes the composition of a Stock Unit to change under Sections 5.1(a) through
5.1(d), the Company shall provide the Holder with written notice of such change
and the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is or will become
exercisable. Such notice will be provided not more than ten days after any such
action has occurred.
ARTICLE VI
ADDITIONAL NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDER

persons receive such notice.

of any term or condition, or any amendment or supplementation, of this Warrant

Warrant shall be construed as confirming upon the Holder the right to vote,
consent, receive dividends, or receive notice other than as herein expressly
provided in respect of meetings of shareholders for the election of directors
of the Company or any other matter whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company.
No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to
purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges
of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the purchase
price of any Warrant Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such
liability is asserted by the Company or by the creditors of the Company.
9.7 LOSS, DESTRUCTION, ETC. OF WARRANT. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction of
the Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon
delivery of a bond of indemnity in such firm and amount shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or in the event of such mutilation, upon surrender
