RECITALS
A. Concurrently with the execution of this Antidilution Agreement, the
Purchaser is purchasing from the Company a Warrant to Purchase Stock (the
"Warrant") pursuant to which Purchaser has the right to acquire from the Company
the Shares (as defined in the Warrant).
B. By this Antidilution Agreement, the Purchaser and the Company desire to set
forth the adjustment in the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant as a result of a Diluting Issuance (as defined in Exhibit A to the
Warrant).
C. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in
the Warrant.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and
conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. As used in this Antidilution Agreement, the following
terms have the following respective meanings:
1.1 "Option" means any right, option, or warrant to subscribe
for, purchase, or otherwise acquire common stock or Convertible Securities.
1.2 "Convertible Securities" means any evidences of indebtedness,
shares of stock, or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or
exchangeable for common stock.
1.3 "Issue" means to grant, issue, sell, assume, or fix a record
date for determining persons entitled to receive, any security (including
Options), whichever of the foregoing is the first to occur.
1.4 "Additional Common Shares" means all common stock (including
reissued shares) issued (or deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 2) after the
date of the Warrant. Additional Common Shares does not include, however, any
common stock issued in a transaction described in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of the
Warrant; any common stock Issued upon conversion of preferred stock outstanding
on the date of the Warrant; the Shares; or common stock Issued as incentive or
in a nonfinancing transaction to employees, officers, directors, or consultants
to the Company.
1.5 The shares of common stock ultimately Issuable upon exercise
of an Option (including the shares of common stock ultimately Issuable upon
conversion or exercise of a Convertible Security Issuable pursuant to an Option)
are deemed to be Issued when the Option is Issued. The shares of common stock
ultimately Issuable upon conversion or exercise of a Convertible Security (other
than a Convertible Security Issued pursuant to an Option) shall be deemed Issued
upon Issuance of the Convertible Security.
2. DEEMED ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL COMMON SHARES. The shares of common
stock ultimately Issuable upon exercise of an Option (including the shares of
common stock ultimately Issuable upon conversion or exercise of a Convertible
Security Issuable pursuant to an Option) are deemed to be Issued when the Option
is Issued. The shares of common stock ultimately Issuable upon conversion or
exercise of a Convertible Security (other than a Convertible Security Issued
pursuant to an Option) shall be deemed Issued upon Issuance of the Convertible
Security. The maximum amount of common stock Issuable is determined without
regard to any future adjustments permitted under the
-1-
2
instrument creating the Options or Convertible Securities.
3. ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE FOR DILUTING ISSUANCES.
3.1 RATCHET ADJUSTMENT. If the Company issues Additional Common
Shares after the date of the Warrant and the consideration per Additional Common
Share (determined pursuant to Section 9) is less than the Warrant Price in
effect immediately before such Issue, the Warrant Price shall be reduced to the
lesser of:
(a) the amount of such consideration per Additional
Common Share; or
(b) if the Company's common stock is traded on a
national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation System, the last reported bid or sale price of the Company's
common stock on the first trading day following a public announcement of the
Issuance.
3.2 ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment of the
Warrant Price, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall
be increased to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the product
resulting from multiplying (i) the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of
the Warrant and (ii) the Warrant Price, in each case as in effect immediately
before such adjustment, by (b) the adjusted Warrant Price.
3.3 SECURITIES DEEMED OUTSTANDING. For the purpose of this
Section 3, all securities issuable upon exercise of any outstanding Convertible
Securities or Options, warrants, or other rights to acquire securities of the
Company shall be deemed to be outstanding.
4. NO ADJUSTMENT FOR ISSUANCES FOLLOWING DEEMED ISSUANCES. No adjustment
to the Warrant Price shall be made upon the exercise of Options or conversion of
Convertible Securities.
5. ADJUSTMENT FOLLOWING CHANGES IN TERMS OF OPTIONS OR CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES. If the consideration payable to, or the amount of common stock
Issuable by, the Company increases or decreases, respectively, pursuant to the
terms of any outstanding Options or Convertible Securities, the Warrant Price
shall be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease. The recomputation
shall be made as of the time of the Issuance of the Options or Convertible
Securities. Any changes in the Warrant Price that occurred after such Issuance
because other Additional Common Shares were Issued or deemed Issued shall also
be recomputed.
6. RECOMPUTATION UPON EXPIRATION OF OPTIONS OR CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES.
The Warrant Price computed upon the original Issue of any Options or Convertible
Securities, and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall be recomputed
when any Options or rights of conversion under Convertible Securities expire
without having been exercised. In the case of Convertible Securities or Options
for common stock, the Warrant Price shall be recomputed as if the only
Additional Common Shares Issued were the shares of common stock actually Issued
upon the exercise of such securities, if any, and as if the only consideration
received therefor was the consideration actually received upon the Issue,
exercise or conversion of the Options or Convertible Securities. In the case of
Options for Convertible Securities, the Warrant Price shall be recomputed as if
the only Convertible Securities Issued were the Convertible Securities actually
Issued upon the exercise thereof, if any, and as if the only consideration
received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Company
(determined pursuant to Section 9), if any, upon the Issue of the Options for
the Convertible Securities.
7. LIMIT ON READJUSTMENTS. No readjustment of the Warrant Price pursuant
to Sections 5 or 6 shall increase the Warrant Price more than the amount of any
decrease made in respect of the Issue of any Options or Convertible Securities.
8. 30 DAY OPTIONS. In the case of any Options that expire by their terms
not more than 30 days after the date of Issue thereof, no adjustment of the
Warrant Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such
Options.
9. COMPUTATION OF CONSIDERATION. The consideration received by the
Company for the Issue of any Additional Common Shares shall be computed as
follows:
9.1 CASH shall be valued at the amount of cash received by the
Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued
dividends.
9.2 PROPERTY. Property other than cash shall be computed at the
fair market value thereof at the time of the Issue as determined in good faith
by the Board of Directors of the Company.

9.3 MIXED CONSIDERATION. The consideration for Additional common
Shares Issued together with other property of the Company for consideration that
covers both shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
9.4 OPTIONS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. The consideration per
Additional Common Share for Options and Convertible Securities shall be
determined by dividing:
(a) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by
the Company for the Issue of the Options or Convertible Securities, plus the
minimum amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments
relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a
subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon
exercise of the Options or conversion of the Convertible Securities, by
(b) the maximum amount of common stock (as set forth in
the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained
therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) ultimately Issuable upon the
exercise of such Options or the conversion of such Convertible Securities.
