parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Grant. The Underwriter and/or the Designees are hereby
granted the right to purchase, at any time until 5:00 P.M., New York City time,
on _________, 2002 (the "Warrant Exercise Term"), up to 150,000 fully-paid and
non-assessable Shares at an initial exercise price (subject to adjustment as

Underlying Warrant Shares. The Underlying Warrants are exercisable at any time
commencing _________, 1998 until 5:00 P.M., Eastern time on ________, 2002. The
Holder (defined hereafter) may purchase, upon exercise of the Warrants, either
all or part of the Shares or all or part of the Underlying Warrants or all or
part of both. The Shares and, except as
-2-
provided in Article 13 hereof, the Underlying Warrants are in all respects
identical to the Public Shares and Public Warrants, respectively, being sold to
the public pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Underwriting Agreement.
2. Warrant Certificates. The warrant certificates delivered
and to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement (the "Warrant Certificates")
shall be, for the Warrants exercisable for the purchase of Underlying Shares, in
the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, and, for
the Warrants exercisable for the purchase of Underlying Warrants, in the form of
Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof, each with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as required or
permitted by this Agreement.
3. Exercise of Warrants.
3.1. Cash Exercise. The Warrants initially are
exercisable at a price of $6.75 per Share purchased and $.135 per Underlying
Warrant purchased, payable in cash or by check to the order of the Company, or
any combination thereof, subject to adjustment as provided in Article 8 hereof.
Upon surrender of the Warrant Certificate(s) with the annexed Form of Election
to Purchase duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price (as
hereinafter defined) for the Shares and Underlying Warrants purchased, at the
Company's principal offices in Georgia (currently located at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx
Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx 0000, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000) the registered holder
of a Warrant Certificate ("Holder" or "Holders") shall be entitled to receive a
certificate or certificates for the Shares so purchased and/or a certificate or
certificates for the Underlying Warrants
-3-
so purchased. The purchase rights represented by each Warrant Certificate are
exercisable at the option of the Holder thereof, in whole or in part (but not as
to fractional Shares or fractional Underlying Warrants). In the case of the
purchase of less than all Shares or Underlying Warrants purchasable under any
Warrant Certificate, the Company shall cancel said Warrant Certificate upon the
surrender thereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of
like tenor for the balance of the Shares or Underlying Warrants purchasable
thereunder.
3.2. Cashless Exercise. At any time during the
Warrant Exercise Term, the Holder may, at the Holder's option, exchange, in
whole or in part, the Warrants represented by such Holder's Warrant Certificate
which are exercisable for the purchase of Shares (a "Warrant Exchange"), into
the number of Shares determined in accordance with this Section 3.2, by
surrendering such Warrant Certificate at the principal office of the Company or
at the office of its transfer agent, accompanied by a notice stating such
Holder's intent to effect such exchange, the number of Warrants to be so
exchanged and the date on which the Holder requests that such Warrant Exchange
occur (the "Notice of Exchange"). The Warrant Exchange shall take place on the
date specified in the Notice of Exchange or, if later, the date the Notice of
Exchange is received by the Company (the "Exchange Date"). Certificates for the
Shares issuable upon such Warrant Exchange and, if applicable, a new Warrant
Certificate of like tenor representing the Warrants which were subject to the
surrendered Warrant Certificate and not included in the Warrant Exchange, shall
be issued as of the Exchange Date and delivered
-4-
to the Holder within three (3) days following the Exchange Date. In connection
with any Warrant Exchange, the Holder shall be entitled to subscribe for and
acquire (i) the number of Shares (rounded to the next highest integer) which
would, but for such Warrant Exchange, than be issuable pursuant to the
provisions of Section 3.1 above upon the exercise of the Warrants specified by
the Holder in its Notice of Exchange (the "Total Share Number") less (ii) the
number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the product of
the Total Share Number and the existing Exercise Price per Share (as hereinafter
defined) by (b) the Market Price (as hereinafter defined) of a Public Share on
the day preceding the Warrant Exchange. "Market Price" at any date shall be
deemed to be the last reported sale price, or, in case no such reported sales
takes place on such day, the average of the last reported sale prices for the
last three (3) trading days, in either case as officially reported by the
principal securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to
trading or as reported on the Nasdaq National Market, or, if the Common Stock is
not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or quoted
in the Nasdaq National Market, the closing bid price as furnished by (i) the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") through the Nasdaq
Stock Market Inc. ("NASDAQ") or (ii) a similar organization if NASDAQ is no
longer reporting such information.
4. Issuance of Certificates.
Upon the exercise of the Warrants, the issuance of
certificates for the Shares purchased and certificates for the Underlying
Warrants purchased, and upon the exercise of the
-5-
Underlying Warrants, the issuance of certificates for the Underlying Warrant
Shares purchased, shall be made forthwith (and in any event within three (3)
business days thereafter) without charge to the Holder thereof including,
without limitation, any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance
thereof, and such certificates shall (subject to the provisions of Article 5
hereof) be issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the
Holder thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay
any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance
and delivery of any such certificates in a name other than that of the Holder
and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates
unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have
paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
The Warrant Certificates and the certificates representing the
Shares and the Underlying Warrants shall be executed on behalf of the Company by
the manual or facsimile signature of the present or any future Chairman or Vice
Chairman of the Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer, President or Vice
President of the Company under its corporate seal reproduced thereon, attested
to by the manual or facsimile signature of the present or any future Secretary
or Assistant Secretary of the Company. Warrant Certificates and certificates
representing the Underlying Warrants shall be dated the date of execution by the
Company upon initial issuance, division, exchange, substitution or transfer.
-6-
Upon exercise, in part or in whole, of the Warrants,
certificates representing the Shares and the Underlying Warrants purchased, and
upon exercise, in whole or in part, of the Underlying Warrants, certificates
representing the Underlying Warrant Shares purchased (collectively, the "Warrant
Securities"), shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following:
"The securities represented by this certificate and the other
securities issuable upon exercise thereof have not been
registered for purposes of public distribution under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and may not be
offered or sold except (i) pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Act, (ii) to the extent
applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or any similar
rule under such Act relating to the disposition of
securities), or (iii) upon the delivery by the holder to the
Company of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to
counsel to the Company, stating that an exemption from
registration under such Act is available."
5. Restriction on Transfer of Warrants.
The Holder of a Warrant Certificate, by the Holder's
acceptance thereof, covenants and agrees that the Warrants are being acquired as
an investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and that the
Warrants may not be sold, transferred, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise
disposed of, in whole or in part, for a period of one (1) year from the date
hereof, except to the Underwriter or to the Designees.
-7-
6. Price.
6.1. Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price. The initial
exercise price of each Warrant shall be $6.75 per Share and $.135 per Underlying
Warrant. The adjusted exercise price per Share and the adjusted exercise price
per Underlying Warrant shall be the prices which shall result from time to time
from any and all adjustments of the initial exercise price per Share or per
Underlying Warrant, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of
Article 8 hereof.
6.2. Exercise Price. The term "Exercise Price" herein
shall mean the initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending
upon the context.
7. Registration Rights.
7.1. Registration Under the Securities Act of 1933.
None of the Warrants, the Shares, the Underlying Warrants, or the Underlying
Warrant Shares have been registered for purposes of public distribution under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
7.2. Registrable Securities. As used herein the term
"Registrable Security" means each of the Warrants, the Shares, the Underlying
Warrants, the Underlying Warrant Shares and any shares of Common Stock issued
upon any stock split or stock dividend in respect of such Shares or Underlying
Warrant Shares; provided, however, that with respect to any particular
Registrable Security, such security shall cease to be a Registrable Security
when, as of the date of determination, (i) it has been effectively registered
under the Act and disposed of pursuant thereto, (ii) registration under the Act
is no longer
-8-
required for subsequent public distribution of such security, or (iii) it has
ceased to be outstanding. The term "Registrable Securities" means any and/or all
of the securities falling within the foregoing definition of a "Registrable
Security." In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common
Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the definition of "Registrable Security"
as is appropriate in order to prevent any dilution or enlargement of the rights
granted pursuant to this Article 7.
7.3. Piggyback Registration. If, at any time during
the seven years following the effective date of the Public Offering, the Company
proposes to prepare and file one or more post-effective amendments to the
registration statement filed in connection with the Public Offering or any new
registration statement or post-effective amendments thereto covering equity or
debt securities of the Company, or any such securities of the Company held by
its shareholders (in any such case, other than in connection with a merger,
acquisition or pursuant to Form S-8 or successor form) (for purposes of this
Article 7, collectively, the "Registration Statement"), it will give written
notice of its intention to do so by registered mail ("Notice"), at least thirty
(30) business days prior to the filing of each such Registration Statement, to
all holders of the Registrable Securities. Upon the written request of such a
holder (a "Requesting Holder"), made within twenty (20) business days after
receipt of the Notice, that the Company include any of the Requesting Holder's
Registrable Securities in the proposed Registration Statement,
-9-
the Company shall, as to each such Requesting Holder, use its best efforts to
effect the registration under the Act of the Registrable Securities which it has
been so requested to register ("Piggyback Registration"), at the Company's sole
cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Requesting Holders (except as
provided in Section 7.5(b) hereof).
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3, the Company
shall have the right at any time after it shall have given written notice
pursuant to this Section 7.3 (irrespective of whether any written request for
inclusion of Registrable Securities shall have already been made) to elect not
to file any such proposed Registration Statement, or to withdraw the same after
the filing but prior to the effective date thereof.
7.4. Demand Registration.
(a) At any time during the Warrant Exercise
Term, any "Majority Holder" (as such term is defined in Section 7.4(d) below) of
the Registrable Securities shall have the right (which right is in addition to
the piggyback registration rights provided for under Section 7.3 hereof),
exercisable by written notice to the Company (the "Demand Registration
Request"), to have the Company prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") on one occasion, at the sole expense of the
Company (except as provided in Section 7.5(b) hereof), a Registration Statement
and such other documents, including a prospectus, as may be necessary (in the
opinion of both counsel for the Company and counsel for such Majority Holder) in
order to comply with the provisions of the Act, so as to permit a public
offering and sale of the Registrable
-10-
Securities by the holders thereof. The Company shall use its best efforts to
cause the Registration Statement to become effective under the Act, so as to
permit a public offering and sale of the Registrable Securities by the holders
thereof. Once effective, the Company will use its best efforts to maintain the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) the date
that all of the Registrable Securities have been sold or (ii) the date the
holders thereof receive an opinion of counsel to the Company that all of the
Registrable Securities may be freely traded without registration under the Act,
under Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Act or otherwise.
(b) The Company covenants and agrees to give
written notice of any Demand Registration Request to all holders of the
Registrable Securities within ten (10) business days from the date of the
Company's receipt of any such Demand Registration Request. After receiving
notice from the Company as provided in this Section 7.4(b), holders of
Registrable Securities may request the Company to include their Registrable
Securities in the Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to Section 7.4(a)
hereof by notifying the Company of their decision to have such securities
included within ten (10) days of their receipt of the Company's notice.
(c) In addition to the registration rights
provided for under Section 7.3 hereof and subsection (a) of this Section 7.4, at
any time during the Warrant Exercise Term, any Majority Holder (as defined below
in Section 7.4(d)) of Registrable Securities shall have the right, exercisable
by written request to the Company, to have the Company prepare and
-11-
file with the Commission, on one occasion in respect of all holders of
Registrable Securities, a Registration Statement so as to permit a public
offering and sale of such Registrable Securities until the earlier of (i) the
date that all of the Registrable Securities have been sold or (ii) the date the
holders thereof receive an opinion of ocunsel to the Company that all of the
Registrable Securities may be freely traded without registration under the Act,
under Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Act or otherwise; provided, however,
that all costs incident thereto shall be at the expense of the holders of the
Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. If a Majority
Holder shall give notice to the Company at any time of its or their desire to
exercise the registration right granted pursuant to this Section 7.4(c), then
within ten (10) days after the Company's receipt of such notice, the Company
shall give notice to the other holders of Registrable Securities advising them
that the Company is proceeding with such registration and offering to include
therein the Registrable Securities of such holders, provided they furnish the
Company with such appropriate information in connection therewith as the Company
shall reasonably request in writing.
(d) The term "Majority Holder" as used in
Section 7.4 hereof shall mean any holder or any combination of holders of
Registrable Securities, if included in such holders' Registrable Securities are
that aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (including Shares already
issued, Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of outstanding Warrants,
Underlying Warrant Shares already issued and Underlying Warrant Shares
-12-
issuable pursuant to the exercise of outstanding Underlying Warrants) as would
constitute a majority of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
(including Shares already issued, Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of
outstanding Warrants, Underlying Warrant Shares already issued and Underlying
Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of outstanding Underlying
Warrants) included in all the Registrable Securities.
7.5. Covenants of the Company With Respect to Registration.
The Company covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) In connection with any registration under
Section 7.4 hereof, the Company shall file the Registration Statement as
expeditiously as possible, but in any event no later than twenty (20) days
following receipt of any demand therefor, shall use its best efforts to have any
such Registration Statement declared effective at the earliest possible time,
and shall furnish each holder of Registrable Securities such number of
prospectuses as shall reasonably be requested.
(b) The Company shall pay all costs, fees and
expenses (other than underwriting fees, discounts and nonaccountable expense
allowance applicable to the Registrable Securities and fees and expenses of
counsel retained by the holders of Registrable Securities) in connection with
all Registration Statements filed pursuant to Sections 7.3 and 7.4(a) hereof
including, without limitation, the Company's legal and accounting fees, printing
expenses, and blue sky fees and expenses.
(c) The Company will take all necessary
action which may be required in qualifying or registering the
-13-
Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement, for offering and
sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as are reasonably
requested by the holders of such securities.
(d) The Company shall indemnify any holder of
the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement and
any underwriter or person deemed to be an underwriter under the Act and each
person, if any, who controls such holder or underwriter or person deemed to be
an underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), against all
loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever)
to which any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or
otherwise, arising from such registration statement to the same extent and with
the same effect as the provisions pursuant to which the Company has agreed to
indemnify the Underwriter as set forth in Section 7 of the Underwriting
Agreement and to provide for just and equitable contribution as set forth in
Section 8 of the Underwriting Agreement.
(e) Any holder of Registrable Securities to
be sold pursuant to a registration statement, and such holder's successors and
assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify, the Company, its officers
and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act,
-14-
against all loss, claim, damage or expense or liability (including all expenses
reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim
whatsoever) to which they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or
otherwise, arising from information furnished by or on behalf of such holder, or
such holder's successors or assigns, for specific inclusion in such Registration
Statement to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions pursuant
to which the Underwriter has agreed to indemnify the Company as set forth in
Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement and to provide for just and equitable
contribution as set forth in Section 8 of the Underwriting Agreement.
(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
be construed as requiring any holder to exercise the Warrants or the Underlying
Warrants held by such holder prior to the initial filing of any registration
statement or the effectiveness thereof.
(g) If the Company shall fail to comply with
the provisions of this Article 7, the Company shall, in addition to any other
equitable or other relief available to the holders of Registrable Securities, be
liable for any or all incidental, special and consequential damages sustained by
the holders of Registrable Securities, requesting registration of their
Registrable Securities.
(h) The Company shall not permit the
inclusion of any securities other than the Registrable Securities to be included
in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof, without the
prior written consent of the
-15-
Majority Holders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(i) The Company shall promptly deliver copies
of all correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or
auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its
staff with respect to the Registration Statement to each holder of Registrable
Securities included for such registration in such Registration Statement
pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof or Section 7.4 hereof requesting such
correspondence and memoranda and to the managing underwriter, if any, of the
offering in connection with which such Holder's Registrable Securities are being
registered and shall permit each holder of Registrable Securities and such
underwriter to do such reasonable investigation, upon reasonable advance notice,
with respect to information contained in or omitted from the Registration
Statement as it deems reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities
laws or rules of the NASD. Such investigation shall include access to books,
records and properties and opportunities to discuss the business of the Company
with its officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at
such reasonable times and as often as any such holder of Registrable Securities
or underwriter shall reasonably request.
8. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Securities.
The following adjustments apply to the Exercise Price of the Warrants with
respect to the Shares and the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of the
Warrants. In the event the Exercise Price per Share and/or the number of Shares
so
-16-
purchasable is adjusted, then the Exercise Price of the Warrants relating to the
Underlying Warrants and the number of Underlying Warrants purchasable thereunder
shall be adjusted in the same proportion.
8.1. Computation of Adjusted Price. In case the Company shall
at any time after the date hereof pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or
make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, then upon such dividend or
distribution the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or
distribution shall forthwith be reduced to a price determined by dividing:
(a) an amount equal to the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution
multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or
distribution, by
(b) the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale.
For the purposes of any computation to be made in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.1, the Common Stock issuable by
way of dividend or other distribution on any stock of the Company shall be
deemed to have been issued immediately after the opening of business on the date
following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend or other distribution.
8.2. Subdivision and Combination. In case the Company shall
at any time subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of
subdivision or increased in the case of combination.
-17-
8.3. Adjustment in Number of Securities. Upon each adjustment
of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8, the number
of Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted to the
nearest full number by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing
the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the case of adjustments to the exercise price of the Warrants with
respect to the Underlying Warrants and/or the number of Underlying Warrants
purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, if an event occurs that results in an
adjustment of the number and/or price of the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Public Warrants pursuant to Section 9 of the Warrant
Agreement by and among the Company, the Underwriter and American Stock Transfer
& Trust Company dated as of ___________, 1997 ("Public Warrant Agreement"),
resulting in automatic adjustment in the number and/or price of the Underlying
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Underlying Warrants pursuant to
Section 8.6 hereof, then the adjustment provided for in this Section 8.3 shall
not, in such instance, result in any further adjustment in the aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock ultimately issuable upon exercise of the Underlying
Warrants.
8.4. Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case of
any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other
than a change in par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value,
or as a result of a
-18-
subdivision or combination), or in the case of any consolidation of the Company
with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation and
which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, except a change as a result of a subdivision or
combination of such shares or a change in par value, as aforesaid), or in the
case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the
Company as an entirety, the Holders shall thereafter have the right to purchase
the kind and number of shares of stock and other securities and property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance as if the Holders were the owners of both the Shares and the
Underlying Warrant Shares immediately prior to any such events, at a price equal
to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Holders' Warrants and the Underlying Warrants and (y) the
exercise prices for the Warrants and the Underlying Warrants in effect
immediately prior to the record date for such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance as if such Holders had exercised the
Warrants and the Underlying Warrants.
8.5. Determination of Outstanding Common Shares. The number
of Common Shares at any one time outstanding shall include the aggregate number
of shares issued and the aggregate number of shares issuable upon the exercise
of options, rights, warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of convertible
or exchangeable securities.
-19-
8.6. Adjustment of Underlying Warrants' Exercise Price and
Securities Issuable Upon Exercise of Underlying Warrants. With respect to any of
the Underlying Warrants, whether or not the Warrants have been exercised and
whether or not the Warrants are issued and outstanding, the exercise price for,
and the number of, Underlying Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Underlying Warrants shall automatically be proportionately adjusted in
accordance with Section 9 of the Public Warrant Agreement, upon the occurrence
of any of the events described therein. Thereafter, until the next such
adjustment or until otherwise adjusted in accordance with this Section 8, the
Underlying Warrants shall be exercisable at such adjusted exercise price and for
such adjusted number of Underlying Warrant Shares.
8.7. Dividends and Other Distributions with Respect to
Outstanding Securities. In the event that the Company shall at any time prior to
the exercise of all Warrants make any distribution of its assets to holders of
its Common Stock as a liquidating or a partial liquidating dividend, then the
holder of Warrants who exercises its Warrants after the record date for the
determination of those holders of Common Stock entitled to such distribution of
assets as a liquidating or partial liquidating dividend shall be entitled to
receive for the Warrant Price per Warrant, in addition to each share of Common
Stock, the amount of such distribution (or, at the option of the Company, a sum
equal to the value of any such assets at the time of such distribution as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith) which would
have been payable to such holder had he been
-20-
the holder of record of the Common Stock receivable upon exercise of his Warrant
on the record date for the determination of those entitled to such distribution.
At the time of any such dividend or distribution, the Company shall make
appropriate reserves to ensure the timely performance of the provisions of this
Subsection 8.7.
8.8. Subscription Rights for Shares of Common Stock or Other
Securities. In the case that the Company or an affiliate of the Company shall at
any time after the date hereof and prior to the exercise of all the Warrants
issue any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for shares of Common Stock or
any other securities of the Company or of such affiliate to all the shareholders
of the Company, the Holders of unexercised Warrants on the record date set by
the Company or such affiliate in connection with such issuance of rights,
warrants or options shall be entitled, in addition to the shares of Common Stock
or other securities receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants, to receive
such rights, warrants or options shall be entitled, in addition to the shares of
Common Stock or other securities receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants,
to receive such rights at the time such rights, warrants or options that such
Holders would have been entitled to receive had they been, on such record date,
the holders of record of the number of whole shares of Common Stock then
issuable upon exercise of their outstanding Warrants (assuming for purposes of
this Section 8.8), that the exercise of the Warrants is permissible immediately
upon issuance).
-21-
9. Exchange and Replacement of Warrant Certificates.
Each Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense,
upon the surrender thereof by the registered Holder at the principal executive
office of the Company, for a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date
representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of
securities in such denominations as shall be designated by the Holder thereof at
the time of such surrender.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant
Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all
reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of
the Warrant Certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new
Warrant Certificate of like tenor, in lieu thereof.
10. Elimination of Fractional Interests.
The Company shall not be required to issue certificates
representing fractions of Shares or fractions of Underlying Warrants upon the
exercise of the Warrants, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in
lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all
fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the
nearest whole number of Shares and Underlying Warrants.
11. Reservation and Listing of Securities.
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out
of its authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance
upon the exercise of the Warrants and
-22-
the Underlying Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be
issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon
exercise of the Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all Shares
issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid,
non-assessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any shareholder. The
Company further covenants and agrees that upon exercise of the Underlying
Warrants and payment of the respective Underlying Warrant exercise price
therefor, all Underlying Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be
duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and not subject to the
preemptive rights of any shareholder. As long as the Warrants shall be
outstanding, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants and the Underlying
Warrants and all Underlying Warrants to be listed on or quoted by NASDAQ or
listed on such national securities exchange, in the event the Common Stock is
listed on a national securities exchange.
12. Notices to Warrant Holders.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as
conferring upon the Holder or Holders the right to vote or to consent or to
receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meetings of shareholders for
the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights
whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to
the expiration of the Warrants and their exercise, any of the following events
shall occur:
-23-
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders
of its shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling
them to receive a dividend or distribution payable otherwise
than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable
otherwise than out of current or retained earnings, as
indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or
distribution on the books of the Company; or
(b) the Company shall offer to all the holders of
its Common Stock any additional shares of capital stock of the
Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for
shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right
or warrant to subscribe therefor; or
(c) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or
merger) or a sale of all or substantially all of its property,
assets and business as an entirety shall be proposed; or
(d) reclassification or change of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par
value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or
as a result of a subdivision or combination), consolidation of
the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another
corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result
in any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of
-24-
Common Stock, except a change as a result of a subdivision or
combination of such shares or a change in par value, as
aforesaid), or a sale or conveyance to another corporation of
the property of the Company as an entirety is proposed; or
(e) The Company or an affiliate of the
Company shall propose to issue any rights to subscribe for
shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company
or of such affiliate to all the shareholders of the Company;
then, in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice
to the Holder or Holders of such event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the
date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the
determination of the shareholders entitled to such dividend, distribution,
convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights, options or
warrants, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding
up or sale. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing
the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to give such notice or any
defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection
with the declaration or payment of any such dividend or distribution, or the
issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights,
options or warrants, or any proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or
sale.
13. Underlying Warrants.
The form of the certificates representing the Underlying
Warrants (and the form of election to purchase shares
-25-
of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Underlying Warrants and the form of
assignment printed on the reverse thereof) shall be substantially as set forth
in Exhibit "A" to the Public Warrant Agreement; provided, however, (i) each
Underlying Warrant issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall evidence the
right to initially purchase one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common
Stock in respect of the Underlying Warrant at an initial purchase price of $8.25
per share at any time commencing _______, 1998 (or such earlier date on which
the Underwriter consents to the exercise of the Public Warrants) until
__________, 2002 and (ii) the Target Redemption Price (as defined in the Public
Warrant Agreement) of the Underlying Warrants is 150% of the then effective
exercise price of the Underlying Warrants. As set forth in Section 8.5 of this
Agreement, the exercise price of the Underlying Warrants and the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Underlying Warrants are
subject to adjustment, whether or not the Warrants have been exercised and the
Underlying Warrants have been issued, in the manner and upon the occurrence of
the events set forth in Section 9 of the Public Warrant Agreement, which is
hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof as if set forth
in its entirety herein. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and upon
issuance of the Underlying Warrants, each registered holder of such Underlying
Warrants shall have the right to purchase from the Company (and the Company
shall issue to such registered holders) up to the number of fully paid and
non-assessable Underlying Warrant Shares (subject to adjustment as provided
herein and in the Public Warrant Agreement), free and clear of
-26-
all preemptive rights of shareholders, provided that such registered holder
complies, in connection with the exercise of such holders' Underlying Warrants,
with the terms governing exercise of the Public Warrants set forth in the Public
Warrant Agreement, and pays the applicable exercise price, determined in
accordance with the terms of the Public Warrant Agreement. Upon exercise of the
Underlying Warrants, the Company shall forthwith issue to the registered holder
of any such Underlying Warrants, in such holder's name or in such name as may be
directed by such holder, certificates for the number of Underlying Warrant
Shares so purchased. The Underlying Warrants shall be transferable in the manner
provided in the Public Warrant Agreement, and upon any such transfer, a new
Underlying Warrant shall be issued promptly to the transferee. The Company
covenants to, and agrees with, each Holder that without the prior written
consent of all the Holders, the Public Warrant Agreement will not be modified,
amended, cancelled, altered or superseded, and that the Company will send to
each Holder, irrespective of whether or not the Warrants have been exercised,
any and all notices required by the Public Warrant Agreement to be sent to
holders of the Public Warrants.
14. Notices.
All notices, requests, consents and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when
delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested:
-27-
(a) If to a registered Holder of the Warrants, to

Company; or
(b) If to the Company, to the address set forth in
Section 3 of this Agreement or to such other address as the
Company may designate by notice to the Holders.

supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any Holders of the
Warrants and/or Warrant Securities in order to cure any ambiguity, to correct or
supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or inconsistent
with any provisions herein, or to make any other provisions in regard to matters
or questions arising hereunder which the Company and the Underwriter may deem
necessary or desirable and which the Company and the Underwriter deem not to
adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Warrant Certificates.
16. Successors.
All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for
the benefit of the Company and the Holders inure to the benefit of their
respective successors and assigns hereunder.
17. Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate at the close of business on
_________, 2005. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement will terminate on
any earlier date when all Warrants and Underlying Warrants have been exercised
and all Warrant Securities have been resold to the public; provided, however,
that the provisions of Section 7 shall survive any termination
-28-
pursuant to this Section 17 until the close of business on
__________, 2008.

registered holder or holders of the Warrant Certificates or Warrant Securities
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; and this
Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the
Underwriter and any other holder or holders of the Warrant Certificates or
