2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT
2.1 Manner of Exercise
From and after the Closing Date and until 5:00 p.m., New York time, on
the Expiration Date, Holder may exercise this Warrant, on any Business Day, for
all or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.
In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, Holder shall
deliver to the Company at its principal office at Xxxxx 000, 0000 - 000xx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X00-0X0, or at the office or agency
designated by the Company pursuant to Section 12, (i) a written notice of
Xxxxxx's election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the
number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, (ii) to the extent such
exercise is not being effected through a Cashless Exercise, payment of the
Warrant Price in cash or wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United
States bank and (iii) this Warrant. Such notice shall be substantially in the
form of the subscription form appearing at the end of this Warrant as Exhibit A,
---------
duly executed by Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon receipt of the items
referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Company shall, as promptly
as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter,
execute or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder a
certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any
fraction of a share, as hereinafter provided. The stock certificate or
certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination
or
-4-
denominations as Holder shall request in the notice and shall be registered
in the name of Holder or, subject to Section 9, such other name as shall be
designated in the notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised
and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and
Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to
have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date
the notice, together with the cash or check or checks and this Warrant, is
received by the Company as described above and all taxes required to be paid by
Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2.2 prior to the issuance of such shares
have been paid. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing
Warrant Stock, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder
to purchase the unpurchased shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant,
which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant,
or, at the request of Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant
and the same returned to Holder. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the
contrary, the Company shall not be required to register shares in the name of
any Person who acquired this Warrant (or part hereof) or any Warrant Stock
otherwise than in accordance with this Warrant.
Simultaneously with the exercise of this Warrant, payment in full of
the Warrant Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder, (i) by payment of
the Warrant Price in cash or by wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a
United States bank, (ii) in the event that the Registration Statement (as such
term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) has not been declared or
no longer remains effective under the Securities Act on the date of exercise of
this Warrant, through a net exercise without payment of the Warrant Price in
cash by providing notice to the Company of the Holder's election to receive a
number of shares of Common Stock in a Cashless Exercise equal to the product of
(1) the number of shares for which such Warrant is exercisable with payment in
cash of the Warrant Price as of the date of exercise and (2) the Cashless
Exercise Ratio (as such term is hereinafter defined) or (iii) in the event that
the Registration Statement has not been declared or no longer remains effective
under the Securities Act on the date of exercise of this Warrant, by any
combination of clauses (i) and (ii). For purposes of this Agreement, the
"Cashless Exercise Ratio" shall equal a fraction, the numerator of which is the
excess of the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date of
exercise over the Current Warrant Price as of the date of exercise, and the
denominator of which is the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock
on the date of exercise. An exercise in accordance with clause (ii) above is
hereinafter referred to as a "Cashless Exercise." Following a Cashless
Exercise, this Warrant shall be cancelled in all respects with regard to (a) the
number of shares of Common Stock issued in accordance with the Cashless Exercise
plus (b) the number of shares used as consideration for the Cashless Exercise.
----
2.2 Payment of Taxes and Charges
All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, freely tradable and without any preemptive rights. The Company
shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental
charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery thereof,
unless such tax or charge is imposed by law upon Holder, in which case such
taxes or charges shall be paid by Xxxxxx. The Company shall not be required,
however, to pay any tax or other charge
-5-
imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issuance of any
certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in
any name other than that of Holder, and in such case the Company shall not be
required to issue or deliver any stock certificate until such tax or other
charge has been paid or it has been established to the satisfaction of the
Company that no such tax or other charge is due.
2.3 Fractional Shares
The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional share of
Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which
Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company
shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal
to the same fraction of the Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the
Closing Date.
2.4 Continued Validity
A holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant, in whole or in part (other than a holder who acquires such shares after
the same have been publicly sold pursuant to a Registration Statement under the
Securities Act or sold pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder) shall continue to be
entitled with respect to such shares to all rights to which it would have been
entitled as Holder under Sections 9, 10 and 14 of this Warrant. The Company
will, at the time of exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, upon the
request of Xxxxxx, acknowledge in writing, in form reasonably satisfactory to
Holder, its continuing obligation to afford Holder all such rights; provided,
--------
however, that if Holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall
-------
not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to Holder all such
rights.
3. TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION
3.1 Transfer
Subject to compliance with Section 9, transfer of this Warrant and all
rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be registered on the books of the
Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company referred to in Section 2.1 or the office or
agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 12, together with a written
assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto duly
---------
executed by Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender
and, if required, such payment, the Company shall, subject to Section 9, execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees
and in the denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall
issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not
so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if
properly assigned in compliance with Section 9, may be exercised by a new Holder
for the purchase of shares of Common Stock without having a new Warrant issued..
-6-
3.2 Division and Combination
Subject to Section 9, this Warrant may be divided or combined with
other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office or agency of the
Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations
in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by Xxxxxx or its agent or
attorney. Subject to compliance with Sections 3.1 and 9, as to any transfer
which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to
be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.
3.3 Expenses
The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense (other
than transfer taxes) the new Warrants or Warrants under this Section 3.
3.4 Maintenance of Books
The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or agency,
books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
4. ADJUSTMENTS
The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable, or the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in
this Section 4. The Company shall give Holder notice of any event described
below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 at the time of
such event.
4.1 Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations
If at any time the Company shall:
(a) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of,
Additional Shares of Common Stock;
(b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares of Common Stock or
(c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of Shares of Common Stock;
then (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted
to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant
-7-
is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be
entitled to receive after the happening of such event and (ii) the Current
Warrant Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Current Warrant Price
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of
shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
4.2 Certain Other Distributions
If at any 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:
(a) cash;
(b) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its stock or any
other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash,
Convertible Securities or Additional Shares of Common Stock) or
(c) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any
evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its stock or any other securities
or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Convertible Securities or
Additional Shares of Common Stock);
then Holder shall be entitled to receive such dividend or distribution as if
Holder had exercised the Warrant. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other
than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par
value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of
stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common
Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this
Section 4.2 and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into
a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such
reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as
the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of
Section 4. 1.
4.3 Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section
The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of
adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable and the Current Warrant Price provided for in this Section 4:
(a) When Adjustments to be Made. The adjustments required by this
Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring
an adjustment shall occur. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified
event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of
its occurrence.
(b) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this
Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to
the nearest 1/10th of a share.
-8-
(c) When Adjustment not Required. 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 subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter
and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to
pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights,
then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such
record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be
rescinded and annulled.
(d) Challenge to Good Faith Determination. Whenever the Board of
Directors of the Company shall be required to make a determination in good faith
of the fair value of any item under this Section 4, such determination may be
challenged in good faith by the Holder, and any dispute shall be resolved by an
investment banking firm of recognized national standing selected by the Company
and acceptable to Holder.
4.4 Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or
Disposition of Assets
In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its
capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another Person (where the
Company is not the survivor or where there is a change in or distribution with
respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, convey, transfer or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business
to another Person, or effectuate a transaction or series of related transactions
in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company is
disposed of (each, a "Fundamental Corporate Change") and, pursuant to the terms
of such Fundamental Corporate Change, shares of common stock of the successor or
acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or
property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or
purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or
acquiring corporation ("Other Property"), are to be received by or distributed
to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then Holder shall have the right
thereafter to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, such number of shares of
common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it
is the surviving corporation, and Other Property as is receivable upon or as a
result of such Fundamental Corporate Change by a holder of the number of shares
of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
Fundamental Corporate Change. In case of any such Fundamental Corporate Change,
the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall
expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and
every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the
Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such
modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined by resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares
of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4.
For purposes of this Section 4.4, "common stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not
preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such
corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any
evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are
convertible into or exchangeable for any
-9-
such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the
happening of a specified event, and any warrants or other rights to subscribe
for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4
shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Corporate Changes.
4.5 Other Action Affecting Common Stock
In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take any
action in respect of its Common Stock, other than any action described in this
Section 4, which would have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of
Holder (including, without limitation, the issuance by the Company of any
security having a purchase, exercise, conversion or exchange price that is less
than the Current Warrant Price on the date of such issuance), the number of
shares of Common Stock and/or the purchase price thereof shall be adjusted in
such manner as may be equitable in the circumstances, as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
4.6 Certain Limitations
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees
not to enter into any transaction which, by reason of any adjustment hereunder,
would cause the Current Warrant Price to be less than the par value per share of
Common Stock.
5. NOTICES TO HOLDER
5.1 Notice of Adjustments
Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant
is exercisable, or whenever the price at which a share of such Common Stock may
be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants, shall be adjusted pursuant to
Section 4, the Company shall forthwith prepare a certificate to be executed by
the chief financial officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail,
the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was
calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors
of the Company determined the fair value of any evidences of indebtedness,
shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription
or purchase rights referred to in Section 4.2), specifying the number of shares
of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and (if such adjustment
was made pursuant to Section 4.4 or 4.5) describing the number and kind of any
other shares of stock or Other Property for which this Warrant is exercisable,
and any change in the purchase price or prices thereof, after giving effect to
such adjustment or change. The Company shall promptly cause a signed copy of
such certificate to be delivered to the Holder in accordance with Section 14.2.
The Company shall keep at its office or agency designated pursuant to Section 12
copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for
inspection at said office during normal business hours by the Holder or any
prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by Holder.
5.2 Notice of Corporate Action
If at any time:
-10-
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other
distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its
indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or
property, or to receive any other right;
(b) there, shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the
Company to, another corporation or
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at
least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of the date on which a record date
shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining
rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of the date when the same
shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also
shall specify (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders
of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right,
and the amount and character thereof and (ii) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the
time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or
other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder
at the last address of Xxxxxx appearing on the books of the Company and
delivered in accordance with Section 14.2.
6. NO IMPAIRMENT
The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of
securities or other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good
faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such
actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder
against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor
upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
-11-
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant and (c) use its best
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable
the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Upon the request of Xxxxxx, the Company will at any time during the
period this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form satisfactory
to Holder, the continuing validity of this Warrant and the obligations of the
Company hereunder.
7. RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF COMMON STOCK
From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available for issuance upon the exercise of Warrants such
number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be
sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. All
shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of
any Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant,
shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and not
subject to preemptive rights.
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the
Current Warrant Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take any
corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly
and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at
such adjusted Current Warrant Price.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Current Warrant Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or
exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public
regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
8. TAKING OF RECORD; STOCK AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS
In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to
the holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4
refers to the taking of record of such holders, the Company will in each case
take such a record and will take such record as of the close of business on a
Business Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company, close its stock transfer books or
Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or
transfer of any Warrant.
9. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY
The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall not be transferred,
hypothecated or assigned before satisfaction of the conditions specified in this
Section 9, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the Transfer
-12-
of any Warrant or any Warrant Stock. Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant,
agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.
9.1 Restrictive Legend

STATE, AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM
THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH LAWS.
THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT
TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SECURITIES ACT OR SUCH OTHER LAWS."
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, the Warrant shall
be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
"THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF SUCH ACT, THE
RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER OR THE PROVISIONS OF THIS COMMON
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT."
9.2 Notice of Proposed Transfers
Prior to any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Warrants or any
shares of Restricted Common Stock, the Holder shall give ten (10) days' prior
written notice (a "Transfer
-13-
Notice") to the Company of Xxxxxx's intention to effect such Transfer,
describing the manner and circumstances of the proposed Transfer, and obtain
from counsel to Holder who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, an
opinion that the proposed Transfer of such Warrants or such Restricted Common
Stock may be effected without registration under the Securities Act. After
receipt of the Transfer Notice and opinion, the Company shall, within five (5)
days thereof, notify the Holder as to whether such opinion is reasonably
satisfactory and, if so, such Holder shall thereupon be entitled to Transfer
such Warrants or such Restricted Common Stock in accordance with the terms of
the Transfer Notice. Each certificate, if any, evidencing such shares of
Restricted Common Stock issued upon such Transfer shall bear the restrictive
legend set forth in Section 9.1(a), and the Warrant issued upon such Transfer
shall bear the restrictive legend set forth in Section 9.1(b), unless in the
opinion of such counsel such legend is not required in order to ensure
compliance with the Securities Act. Holder shall not be entitled to Transfer
such Warrants or such Restricted Common Stock until receipt of notice from the
Company under this Section 9.2 that such opinion is reasonably satisfactory.
9.3 Required Registration
Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission not later than

relating to the offer and sale of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants and shall use its best efforts to cause the Commission to declare such
Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act as promptly as
practicable but no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the
Closing Date.
9.4 Termination of Restrictions
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 9, the
restrictions imposed by this Section upon the transferability of the Warrants,
the Warrant Stock and the Restricted Common Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of the Warrants) and the legend requirements of Section 9.1 shall
terminate as to any particular Warrant or share of Warrant Stock or Restricted
Common Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants) (i)
when and so long as such security shall have been effectively registered under
the Securities Act and disposed of pursuant thereto or (ii) when the Company
shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that
such shares may be transferred without registration thereof under the Securities
Act. Whenever the restrictions imposed by Section 9 shall terminate as to this
Warrant, as hereinabove provided, the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive
from the Company upon written request of the Holder, at the expense of the
Company, a new Warrant bearing the following legend in place of the restrictive
legend set forth hereon:
"THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF THE WITHIN WARRANT CONTAINED
IN SECTION 9 HEREOF TERMINATED ON ________, 200_, AND ARE OF NO
FURTHER FORCE AND EFFECT."
-14-
All Warrants issued upon registration of transfer, division or combination of,
or in substitution for, any Warrant or Warrants entitled to bear such legend
shall have a similar legend endorsed thereon. Whenever the restrictions imposed
by this Section shall terminate as to any share of Restricted Common Stock, as
hereinabove provided, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the
Company, at the Company's expense, a new certificate representing such Common
Stock not bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 9.1(a).
9.5 Listing on Securities Exchange
If the Company shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities
exchange or quotation system, it will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain
and, when necessary, increase such listing of, all shares of Common Stock issued
or, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules,
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant so long as any shares of Common Stock
shall be so listed during any such Exercise Period.
10. SUPPLYING INFORMATION
The Company shall cooperate with Holder in supplying such information
as may be reasonably necessary for Holder to complete and file any information
reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition
to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale of any
Warrant or Restricted Common Stock.
11. LOSS OR MUTILATION
Upon receipt by the Company from Holder of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being
understood that the written agreement of the Holder shall be sufficient
indemnity), and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation hereof,
the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor
to Holder; provided, that in the case of mutilation no indemnity shall be
--------
required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for
cancellation.
12. OFFICE OF THE COMPANY
As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall
maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices of
the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of
transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Xxxxxx to
purchase shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or
privileges of Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the
purchase price of any Common Stock or as a
-15-
stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company
or by creditors of the Company.
14. MISCELLANEOUS
14.1 Nonwaiver and Expenses
No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right
hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or
otherwise prejudice Xxxxxx's rights, powers or remedies. If the Company fails
to make, when due, any payments provided for hereunder, or fails to comply with
any other provision of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to Holder such
amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate

or observe in any material respect any of its covenants, agreements,
undertakings or obligations set forth in this Warrant; provided, however, that
-------- -------
the Company will not be liable hereunder to the extent that any liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims,

nonappealable judgment by a court to have resulted from Xxxxxx's gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in its capacity as a stockholder or

14.4 Remedies
Holder in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by
law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of

breach by it of the provisions of Section 9 of this Warrant and hereby agrees to
waive the defense in any action for specific perforinance that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
