set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

X.X. Xxxxx and/or its designees are hereby granted the right to
purchase, at any time from the date of issuance of the aforementioned Warrants
until 5:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time, on March 16, 2003 (the "Warrant Exercise
Term"), 56,514 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.001 per share
(the "Shares") at an exercise price per share (subject to adjustment as provided
in Article 7 hereof) equal to $2.10 (the "Initial Exercise Price").
2. Warrant Certificates.
The warrant certificates (the "Warrant Certificates") delivered and to
be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the form set forth as
Exhibit "A", attached hereto and made a part hereof, 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 Exercise Price may be paid in cash or
by check to the order of the Company, or any combination of cash or check,
subject to adjustment as provided in Article 7 hereof. Upon surrender of the
Warrant Certificate with the annexed Form of Election to Purchase duly executed,
together with payment of the Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined) for the
Shares purchased, at the Company's executive offices (currently located at 000
Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 10022) the registered holder of a Warrant
Certificate ("Holder" or "Holders") shall be entitled to receive a certificate
or certificates for the Shares so purchased. The purchase rights represented by
each Warrant
1
Certificate are exercisable at the option of the Holder hereof, in whole or in
part (but not as to fractional shares of the Common Stock). In the case of the
purchase of less than all the Shares 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 purchasable thereunder.
3.2 Cashless Exercise. At any time during the Warrant Exercise
Term, the Holder may, at its option, exchange this Warrant, in whole or in part
(a "Warrant Exchange"), into the number of Shares determined in accordance with
this Section 3.2, by surrendering this Warrant 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 Shares to be
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 of
like tenor evidencing the balance of the Shares remaining subject to this
Warrant, shall be issued as of the Exchange Date and delivered to the Holder
within seven (7) business days following the Exchange Date. In connection with
any Warrant Exchange, this Warrant shall represent the right to subscribe for
and acquire the number of Shares (rounded to the next highest integer) equal to
(i) the number of Shares specified by the Holder in its Notice of Exchange (the
"Total Number") less (ii) the number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (A) the product of the Total Number and the then existing Exercise
Price by (B) the current market value of a share of Common Stock.
4. Issuance of Certificates.
Upon the exercise of the Warrants, the issuance of certificates for the
Shares shall be made forthwith (and in any event within five 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 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 satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
The Warrant Certificates and the certificates representing the Shares
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, Chief Executive officer or President or Vice President of the Company
under its corporate seal reproduced thereon, attested to by the manual or
facsimile signature of
2
the present or any future Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company.
Warrant Certificates shall be dated the date of execution by the Company upon
initial issuance, division, exchange, substitution or transfer.
The Warrant Certificates and, upon exercise of the Warrants, in part or
in whole, certificates representing the Shares shall bear a legend substantially
similar to the following:
The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered
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 issuer, stating that an exemption from registration
under such Act is available.
5. Price.
5.1 Adjusted Exercise Price. The adjusted Exercise Price shall
be the price which shall result from time to time from any and all adjustments
of the Initial Exercise Price in accordance with the provisions of Article 7
hereof.
5.2 Exercise Price. The term "Exercise Price" herein shall
mean the Initial Exercise Price or the adjusted Exercise Price, depending upon
the context.
6. Registration Rights.
6.1 Registration Under the Securities Act of 1993. The
Warrants and the Shares have not been registered for purposes of public
distribution under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("the Act").
6.2 Registrable Securities. As used herein the term
"Registrable Security" means each of the Warrants, the Shares and any shares of
Common Stock issued upon any stock split or stock dividend in respect of such
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
Securities Act and disposed of pursuant thereto, (ii) registration under the
Securities Act is no longer required for the immediate 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
3
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 6.
6.3 Piggyback Registration. If, at any time during the five
years following the date of this Agreement, the Company proposes to prepare and
file any 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 6, collectively, a "Registration Statement"), it will give written
notice of its intention to do so by registered mail ("Notice"), at ten (10)
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 ten (10) business days after receipt of the
Notice, that the Company include any of the Requesting Holder's Registrable
Securities in the proposed Registration Statement, the Company shall, as to each
such Requesting Holder, use its best efforts to effect the registration under
the Securities 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; Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 6.3, the Company shall have the right at any time
after it shall have given written notice pursuant to this Section 6.3
(irrespective of whether any written request for inclusion of such 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.
6.4 Demand Registration.
(a) At any time, commencing one hundred twenty (120)
days from the date of this Agreement and during the Warrant Exercise Term, any
"Majority Holder" (as such term is defined in Section 6.4(d) below) of the
Registrable Securities shall have the right (which right is in addition to the
piggyback registration rights provided for under Section 6.3 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, 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
Securities by the holders thereof, for nine (9) consecutive months.
(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) 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 6.4(b), holders of Registrable Securities may request
the Company to include their Registrable Securities in the Registration
Statement to be filed pursuant to Section 6.4(a) hereof by
4
notifying the Company of their decision to include such securities within twenty
(20) days of their receipt of the Company's notice.
(c) In addition to the registration rights provided
for under Section 6.3 and subsection (a) of this Section 6.4, at any time during
the Warrant Exercise Term, any Majority Holder (as defined below in Section
6.4(d)) of Registrable Securities shall have the right, exercisable by written
request to the Company, to have the Company prepare and 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 for nine (9) consecutive months, 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 6.4(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 this
Section 6.4 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 (including Shares already issued and Shares issuable
pursuant to the exercise of outstanding Warrants) as would constitute a majority
of the aggregate number of Shares (including Shares already issued and Shares
issuable pursuant to the exercise of outstanding Warrants) included in all of
the Registrable Securities.
6.5 Covenants of the Company With Respect to Registration. The
Company covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) In connection with any registration under Section
6.4 hereof, the Company shall file the Registration Statement as expeditiously
as possible, but in no event later than forty-five (45) business days following
receipt of any demand therefor, shall use its best efforts to have any such
Registration Statements 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 (excluding fees of holders for their counsel, transfer taxes and
underwriting discounts or commissions) in connection with all Registration
Statements filed pursuant to Sections 6.3 and 6.4(a) hereof including, without
limitation, the Company's legal and accounting fees, printing expenses, and blue
sky fees and expenses. The holders of Registrable Securities included in any
Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 6.4(c) hereof will pay all
costs, fees and expenses in connection with such registration.
5
(c) The Company will take all necessary action which
may be required in qualifying or registering the Registrable Securities included
in a Registration Statement for offering and sale under the securities or blue
sky laws of such states as are 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 purchasers of the Company's Convertible Debentures contained in the
Registration Rights Agreement dated of even date herewith.
(e) Any holder of Registrable Securities to be sold
pursuant to a Registration Statement, and its 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, 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 in writing by or on behalf of such holder, or its
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
purchasers of the Company's Convertible Debentures have agreed to indemnify the
Company contained in the Registration Rights Agreement dated of even date
herewith.
(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as requiring any Holder to exercise his Warrants 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 6, 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) Except as otherwise provided to the contrary
herein, 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 6.4 hereof, or permit any other registration statement to be
or remain effective during the effectiveness of a Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 6.4
6
hereof, without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(i) The Company shall deliver promptly to each holder
of Registrable Securities participating in the offering requesting the
correspondence and memoranda described in this Section 6.5(i) and to the
managing underwriter, if any, 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 and permit each holder of Registrable Securities and underwriters to
do such 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
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. 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.
(j) If the Company shall enter into an underwriting
agreement with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting, such
agreement shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, each
holder of Registrable Securities and such managing underwriter, and shall
contain such representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and such
other terms as are customarily contained in agreements of that type used by the
managing underwriter. The holders of Registrable Securities shall be parties to
any underwriting agreement relating to an underwritten sale of their Registrable
Securities and may, at their option, require that any or all the
representations, warranties and covenants of the Company to or for the benefit
of such underwriter shall also be made to and for the benefit of such holders of
Registrable Securities. Such holders of Registrable Securities shall not be
required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the
Company or the underwriter except as they may relate to such holders of
Registrable Securities and their intended methods of distribution.
7. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
7.1 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.
7.2 Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of
the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7, the number of
Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted to the
nearest full Share by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in
7
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.
7.3 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 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 the shares of
Common Stock underlying the Warrants immediately prior to any such events at a
price equal to the product of (x) the number of shares issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants and (y) the Exercise Price 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.
7.4 No Adjustment of Exercise Price in Certain Cases. No
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made:
(a) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of Common
Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants; or
(b) Upon (i) the issuance of options pursuant to the
Company's employee stock option plan in effect on the date hereof or the
issuance or sale by the Company of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
exercise of any such options, or (ii) the issuance or sale by the Company of any
shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any options or warrants
previously issued and outstanding on the date hereof; or
(c) Upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock
pursuant to contractual obligations existing on the date hereof; or
(d) If the amount of said adjustment shall be less
than two cents (24) per Share, provided, however, that in such case any
adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried
forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent
adjustment which, together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount
to at least two cents (24) per Share.
8
7.5 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 declare a dividend (other than a dividend
consisting solely of shares of Common Stock or a cash dividend or distribution
payable out of current or retained earnings) or otherwise distribute to its
shareholders any monies, assets, property, rights, evidences of indebtedness,
securities (other than shares of Common Stock), whether issued by the Company or
by another person or entity, or any other thing of value, the Holder or Holders
of the unexercised Warrants shall thereafter be entitled, in addition to the
shares of Common Stock or other securities receivable upon the exercise thereof,
to receive, upon the exercise of such Warrants, the same monies, property,
assets, rights, evidences of indebtedness, securities or any other thing of
value that they would have been entitled to receive at the time of such dividend
or 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 7.5.
7.6 Subscription Rights for Shares of Common Stock or Other
Securities. In the case 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 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 the unexercised Warrants 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 are distributed to the
other shareholders of the Company.
8. Exchange and Replacement of Warrant Certificates.
Each Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the
surrender hereof 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 Shares 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 Warrants, if
mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like
tenor, in lieu thereof.
9. Elimination of Fractional Interests.
The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing
fractions of shares of Common Stock and shall not 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
9
whole number of shares of Common Stock.
10. 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, 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
of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued,
fully paid, nonassessable 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 to be listed on or quoted by NASDAQ.
11. 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:
(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;
then, in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice
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
10
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.
12. 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:
(a) If to a registered Holder of the Warrants, to the address
of such Holder as shown on the books of the 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.
13. Supplements and Amendments.
The Company and the Placement Agent may from time to time supplement or
amend this Agreement without the approval of any Holders of Warrant Certificates
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 Placement Agent may deem necessary or desirable and
which the Company and the Placement Agent deem not to adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of Warrant Certificates.
14. Successors.

benefit of the Company and the Holders inure to the benefit of their respective
successors and assigns hereunder.
15. Termination.

2004. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement will terminate on any
earlier date when all Warrants have been exercised and all the Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants have been resold to the public; provided, however,
that the provisions of Article 6 shall survive such termination until the close
of business on March 16, 2004.
16. Governing Law.
This Agreement and each Warrant Certificate hereunder shall be
governed by and interpreted in
11
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the
principles of conflict of laws. Any dispute or controversy between the parties
arising in connection with this Agreement or the subject matter contemplated by
this Agreement shall be resolved by arbitration before a three-member panel of

seq., with the resulting award being final and conclusive. Said arbitrators
shall be empowered to award all forms of relief and damages claimed, including,

exemplary damages, and prejudgment interest. The parties further agree that any

corporation other than the Company and the Placement Agent and any other
registered holder or holders of the Warrant Certificates, Warrants or the Shares
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
