WARRANT AGREEMENT
WARRANT AGREEMENT dated as of November 12, 1996, by and between
MULTIMEDIA GAMES, INC., a Texas corporation (the "Company"), and CORPORATE
STOCK TRANSFER, as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent").
WHEREAS, as described in the Company's Confidential Private Placement
Memorandum dated September 24, 1996, the Company has issued and sold, or
proposes to issue and sell, 2,050,000 Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants
(the "Warrants"), each entitling the holder thereof the right to purchase one
(1) share of Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Company (the "Common Stock");
WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form of Warrant
Certificate to evidence the Warrants and the terms and provisions applicable to
the Warrants; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the
Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the
issuance of Warrant Certificates and other matters provided for herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the
Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with the
instructions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement, and the Warrant Agent
hereby accepts such appointment.
2. Warrant Certificates. The Warrant Certificates to be
delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit
A attached hereto.
3. Terms and Provisions of Warrants.
3.1 General. (a) There are hereby incorporated in this Agreement all
of the terms and provisions relating to the Warrants set forth and contained in
the form of Warrant Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A.
3
(b) The Company will cause to be issued and delivered to
the registered holders of Warrant Certificates, or (subject to the next
succeeding paragraph) their registered assigns, in such name or names as may be
directed by them, duly executed certificates for the number of fully paid and
nonassessable whole shares of Common Stock to which they are entitled as herein
provided, together with a Warrant Certificate or Certificates representing any
unexercised Warrant.
No Warrant nor any of the shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the
exercise of any Warrant (each a "Warrant Share" and collectively, the "Warrant
Shares") has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act") or any state securities law and may not be sold, transferred, assigned,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of until a registration statement with
respect thereto is declared effective under the Act or the Company receives an
opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company that an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Act is available. If
permitted by the foregoing, any such sale, transfer, assignment, hypothecation
or other disposition shall be effected by the holder thereof surrendering a
Warrant for cancellation as hereinafter provided and accompanied by an opinion
of counsel satisfactory to counsel for the Company stating that an exemption
from such registration requirements is available.
(c) Each Warrant Certificate and each certificate for Warrant
Shares purchased upon the exercise thereof shall bear a legend substantially
similar to the following:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED 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 (1) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR (2) UPON THE DELIVERY BY THE HOLDER TO THE
COMPANY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL
FOR THE COMPANY, STATING THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE
ACT IS AVAILABLE
(d) The Company shall pay all taxes payable in connection
with the issue and delivery of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax in
respect of (i) any transfer involved
-2-
4
in the issue and delivery of Common Stock in a name other than that of the
registered holder of the Warrant Certificate exercised, or (ii) any transfer or
exchange of Warrant Certificates in a name other than that of the registered
holder of the Warrant Certificate so transferred or exchanged.
(e) Irrespective of the date of issue and delivery of
certificates for any shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of Warrants,
each person in whose name any such certificate is to be issued shall, for all
purposes, be deemed to become a holder of record of the Common Stock
represented thereby on the date the Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrant
or Warrants shall have been duly surrendered. Excepted as provided herein, no
dividend shall be payable on account of Common Stock deliverable in respect of
Warrants except such dividends as may be or become payable to holders of record
of such Common Stock on or after the date the Warrant Certificate evidencing
the Warrants shall have been duly surrendered.
3.2 Adjustment of Shares Issuable, Warrant Price and Number of
Warrants. (a) The purchase price per share of Common Stock purchasable
pursuant each Warrant shall be initially $8.00 (the "Exercise Price"), and the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant
(the "Warrant Rate") shall be initially one (1) share of Common Stock of the
Company (subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided).
Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Rate, the registered owner of each Warrant
then outstanding shall thereafter be entitled, upon surrender of a Warrant for
exercise on or before [insert date which is fifth anniversary of the Initial
Closing Date] (the "Expiration Date") and payment of the adjusted Exercise
Price in respect thereof, to receive the number of shares of Common Stock, and
other property, if any, at the Warrant Rate as so adjusted.
(b) In the event the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in
shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common
Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the Warrant Rate in effect
immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted as provided below so that the
holder of any Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall be entitled to
receive the number of shares of Common Stock
-3-
5
and other property, if any, which he would have been entitled to receive after
the happening of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event. An adjustment made
pursuant to this subsection 3.2(b) shall become effective as of the record date
or the effective date of any such event.
(c) In the event the Company shall issue rights or
warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them for a period
expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below to subscribe for
or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current
market price per share of Common Stock (as determined in subsection 3.2(e)
below at the record date mentioned below) the number of shares of Common Stock
which shall thereafter be deliverable by the Company upon surrender for
exercise of each Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock theretofore deliverable by the Company upon surrender
for exercise of each Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such
rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered
for subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or
warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the
total number of shares so offered would purchase at such current market price.
Such adjustments shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued and
shall become effective as of the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants.
(d) In the event the Company shall distribute to all
holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or any of its assets
(excluding cash dividends or cash distributions) or rights to subscribe thereto
or to securities of the Company (excluding those referred to in subsection
3.2(c) above) then, in each such case, the number of shares of Common Stock
thereafter deliverable by the Company upon exercise of each Warrant shall be
determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock therefore
deliverable by the Company upon exercise of each Warrant by a fraction, of
which the numerator shall be the current market price per share of Common Stock
(as determined in subsection 3.2(e) below) on the date of such distribution,
and of which the
-4-
6
denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock,
less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a statement
filed with the Warrant Agent) of the portion of the assets or evidences of
indebtedness so distributed or of such subscription rights applicable to one
(1) share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such
distribution is made and shall become effective as of the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(e) For the purpose of any computation under subsections
3.2(c) and 3.2(d) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock at
any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing bid and closing
asked prices for the 20 consecutive trading days ending five (5) business days
before the day in question as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ"),
or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on NASDAQ, on the
principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or
admitted to trading, or if not listed or admitted to trading on any national
securities exchange, as reported in the over-the-counter "pink sheets";
provided that, if no such reports are available, the current market price per
share of Common Stock shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
(f) No adjustment in the Warrant Rate shall be required
unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1%
therein; provided that, any adjustments which by reason of this subsection
3.2(f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into
account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations of the Warrant Rate
under this Section 3.2 shall be made to the nearest one-hundredth of a share.
(g) Whenever there is an adjustment in the Warrant Rate
as herein provided, the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each Warrant
shall also be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment of the Warrant Rate by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment of the Warrant
Rate, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Shares of Common
Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter; provided that
-5-
7
if, as a result of any adjustments made pursuant hereto, the holder of each
Warrant shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of
capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company (whose
determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed
with the Warrant Agent) shall allocate the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment between or among such classes of shares and the
Exercise Price in respect of shares of each such class shall thereafter be the
price as so allocated.
(h) In the event of any consolidation of the Company with
or merger of the Company with or into another entity, or in the event of any
sale or conveyance to another entity of all or substantially all of the
property of the Company, the Company, or such successor purchasing person, as
the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Warrant Agent an agreement,
in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, providing that the holder of each
Warrant then outstanding, upon surrender for exercise thereof, shall have the
right thereafter, in accordance with the terms hereof, to receive the kind and
amount, if any, of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable
upon such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number
of shares of Common Stock of the Company which would have been received by him
upon surrender for exercise of such Warrants immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Such agreement shall provide for
adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 3.2. The Company shall not effect any
such sale wherein the property to be distributed to the holders of Common Stock
consists principally of securities, or any such consolidation or merger, unless
prior to the consummation thereof adequate provision is made for the assumption
by the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such
consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets, of the obligation
to deliver to such holders such shares of stock, securities or assets as such
holder may be entitled to acquire in accordance with the foregoing provisions.
The provisions of this subsection 3.2(h) shall similarly apply to successive
consolidations, mergers, sales and conveyances.
Notice of the execution of such agreement shall be given by the
Company to the registered holders of Warrants within ten (10) days after the
execution of such agreement at his last address
-6-
8
appearing on the register of the Company. Failure to give any such notice, or
any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any such consolidation,
merger, sale, or conveyance.
(i) Whenever any adjustment is made in the Warrant Rate
and the Exercise Price as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with
the Warrant Agent an independent accountant's certificate setting forth the
effective date of such adjustment, the effect of such adjustment and a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Such certificate shall be
conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment and the Warrant Agent
(if other than the Company) shall be under no duty or responsibility with
respect to any such certificate except to exhibit the same from time to time to
any registered holder of a Warrant desiring an inspection thereof. The Company
shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed notice of each such adjustment to
each registered holder of a Warrant at his last address appearing on the
register of the Company.
(j) In the event at any time:
(1) the Company shall pay any dividend payable in
stock upon its Common Stock or make any distribution (other than regular cash
dividends paid at an established annual rate) to the holders of its Common
Stock;
(2) the Company shall offer for subscription pro
rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any
class or other rights; or
(3) there shall be any capital reorganization, or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or
merger of the Company with or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to
another corporation;
then in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give notice to each
registered holder of a Warrant Certificate of the date on which (A) the books
of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend,
distribution or subscription rights, or (B) such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale shall become effective, as the
case may be. Such notice shall also specify the date as of which the holders
of Common Stock of record shall participate in such
-7-
9
dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or shall be entitled to exchange
their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, as the case
may be. Such notice shall be mailed to each registered holder of a Warrant
Certificate at least 45 days prior to the action in question and not less than
45 days prior to any record date or the date on which the Company's transfer
books are closed in respect thereto; provided, however, that failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of any such action.
3.3 Fractional Warrants and Fractional Shares. If the number of
shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted pursuant to
Section 3.2, the Company shall nonetheless not be required to issue fractions
of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants or to distribute share
certificates which evidence fractional shares of Common Stock. In lieu of
issuing fractional shares, the Company shall be permitted to aggregate all
fractions of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant Certificate (or
portion thereof) being exercised and, after such aggregation, to pay to the
holder of such Warrant Certificate cash for any remaining fractional interest
based upon the current market price of the Common Stock as determined in
accordance with Section 3.2(e) hereof.
3.4 Redemption of Warrants. The Warrants are redeemable by the
Company, in whole or in part, on not less than 30 days' prior written notice to
the registered holders thereof at a redemption price of $.10 per Warrant (the
"Warrant Redemption Price") at any time after the Exercise Date; provided that,
(i) the closing bid quotation price of the Common Stock for the 20 consecutive
trading days ending not later than the seventh day prior to the day on which
the Company gives notice of redemption has been at least 150% of the then
effective Exercise Price per share, and (ii) the Warrants and the Warrant
Shares are subject to an effective registration statement under the Act at the
time a notice of redemption is given and at all times thereafter through the
date fixed for redemption; provided further that, the condition referred to in
clause (ii) shall be deemed satisfied if the holder was afforded the right and
opportunity to include the Warrants and the Warrant Shares in any such
registration statement and declined to do so. In case of the redemption of a
part only of the outstanding Warrants, the Company shall effect such redemption
pro rata among
-8-
10
all holders of Warrants determined by multiplying the number of Warrants
represented by each Warrant Certificate by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the total number of Warrants to be redeemed by the Company and the
denominator of which shall be the total number of Warrants held by all holders
of Warrants. The redemption notice shall be given by mail, postage prepaid, to
the holders of record of the Warrants to be redeemed, addressed to each such
holder at its post office address as shown by the records of the Company. On
and after the date fixed for redemption and stated in such notice, each holder
of the Warrants called for redemption shall surrender the Warrant Certificate
evidencing such Warrants to the Company at the place designated in such notice
and shall thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the Warrant Redemption
Price. In case less than all the Warrants represented by any such surrendered
certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the
unredeemed Warrants. If such notice of redemption shall have been duly given,
and if on or before the date fixed for redemption, funds necessary for the
redemption shall be available therefor, then, notwithstanding that the Warrant
Certificates evidencing any Warrants so called for redemption shall not have
been surrendered, all rights with respect to the Warrants so called for
redemption shall forthwith after such date cease and determine, except only the
right of the holders to receive the Warrant Redemption Price without interest
upon surrender of the Warrant Certificates therefor. Holders of Warrants shall
have the right to exercise the Warrants for the purchase of Warrant Shares
until the close of business on the date fixed for redemption.
3.5 Common Stock. As used herein the term "Common Stock" shall
mean and include the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value, as authorized at
the date hereof, and shall also include any capital stock of any class of the
Company hereafter authorized which shall not be limited to a fixed sum or
percentage in respect of the rights of the holders thereof to participate in
dividends or in the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, and, in case of
reclassification of the outstanding shares thereof or reorganization,
consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets, the stock, securities or assets provided for in paragraph (h) of
Section 2 above.
-9-
11
3.6 Certain Covenants. The Company covenants that:
(a) it will at all times reserve and keep available out
of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue as provided by
the terms of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from
time to time be issuable in accordance with the terms of the Warrants;
(b) no change in the number or class of shares issuable
upon the exercise or surrender of Warrants, and no adoption of a par value for,
or change in the par value of, any such shares, will be made, and no other
action will be taken, by it if the result of such change or action would be to
render illegal the issuance, in accordance with the terms of Warrants, of
shares of stock or other securities or property of the class or classes or kind
in the amount herein provided; and that it will not take any such action or
issue any securities without making further provisions so that thereafter there
shall be authorized and reserved for issue in accordance with the terms of
Warrants, a sufficient number or amount of shares of stock or other securities
or property, of the class or classes or kind and in the amount provided herein;
and
(c) all shares of Common Stock which may be issued in
accordance with the terms of the Warrants will upon issue be duly and validly
issued and fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issue thereof.
4. Execution of Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates shall
be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, President or a
Vice President under its corporate seal and attested by its Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary. Each such signature of the Chairman of the Board,
President or a Vice President, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary upon the
Warrant Certificates may be in the form of a facsimile signature of the present
or any future Chairman of the Board, President, Vice President, Secretary or
Assistant Secretary and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant
Certificates, and for that purpose the Company may adopt and use the facsimile
signature of any person who shall have been Chairman of the Board, President,
Vice President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary, notwithstanding the fact that
at the time the Warrant Certificates shall be countersigned and delivered or
disposed of such person shall have ceased to be Chairman of the Board,
President, Vice President,
-10-
12
Secretary or Assistant Secretary. The seal of the Company may be in the form
of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise
reproduced on the Warrant Certificates.
In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the
Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such officer before the Warrant
Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent, or
disposed of by the Company, such Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be
countersigned and delivered or disposed of as though such person had not ceased
to be such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on
behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of
such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such
Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant
Agreement any such person was not such officer.
Warrant Certificates shall be dated the date of countersignature by
the Warrant Agent.
5. Registration and Countersignature. Warrant Certificates shall
be registered in the names of the persons who are to be record holders of the
Warrant Certificates upon receipt thereof.
Warrant Certificates shall be manually countersigned and delivered by
the Warrant Agent upon receipt of the written order of the Company signed by
its Chairman of the Board, President, any Vice President, its Treasurer or
Secretary, and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned.
The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered
holder(s) of the Warrant Certificates as the absolute owner(s) thereof
(notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by
anyone), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and distribution to the
holder(s) thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the
Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
6. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges. The Warrant Agent
shall from time to time register the transfer of any outstanding Warrant
Certificates upon the records to be maintained by it for that purpose, upon
surrender thereof accompanied (if so required by it) by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer
-11-
13
in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the registered
holder or holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof
or by a duly authorized attorney. Upon any such registration of transfer, and
subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(a) hereof, a new Warrant Certificate
shall be issued to the transferee(s) and the surrendered Warrant Certificate
shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent. Canceled Warrant Certificates shall
thereafter be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Company.
Warrant Certificates may be exchanged at the option of the holder(s)
thereof, when surrendered to the Warrant Agent at its offices maintained for
that purpose, for another Warrant Certificate or other Warrant Certificates of
like tenor and representing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants.
Warrant Certificates surrendered for exchange shall be canceled by the Warrant
Agent. Such canceled Warrant Certificates shall then be disposed of in a
manner satisfactory to the Company.
The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign, in accordance
with the provisions of this Section and of Section 5 of this Agreement, the new
Warrant Certificates required pursuant to the provisions of this Section, and
any additional or substituted Warrant Certificates distributed to registered
holders of Warrant Certificates as contemplated by Sections 3.2 or 3.3 hereof.
7. Cancellation of Certificate upon Exercise of Warrants. All
Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall be canceled by
a Warrant Agent. Such canceled Warrant Certificates shall then be disposed of
in a manner satisfactory to the Company.
8. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. In case any of the
Warrant Certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
may in its discretion issue and the Warrant Agent may countersign, in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant
Certificate, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Warrant Certificate
lost, stolen, or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and
representing an equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt of
evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft
or destruction of such Warrant Certificate and indemnity, if requested, also
satisfactory to them. Applicants for such substitute Warrant Certificates
shall also comply with such other
-12-
14
reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company or
the Warrant Agent may prescribe.
9. Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent undertakes the duties and
obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions,
by all which the Company and the holders of Warrant Certificates, by their
acceptance thereof, shall be bound:
(a) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any
failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants contained in this
Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates to be complied with by the Company.
(b) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the
rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either
itself or by or through its attorneys, agents or employees, and the Warrant
Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or
misconduct of any such attorneys, agents or employees or for any loss to the
Company resulting from such act, default, neglect or misconduct, provided
reasonable care shall have been exercised in the selection and continued
employment thereof.
(c) The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with
counsel satisfactory to it (who may be counsel for the Company), and the
Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to
any holder of any Warrant Certificate in respect of any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion or
the advice of such counsel, provided the Warrant Agent shall have exercised
reasonable care in the selection and continued employment of such counsel.
(d) The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or
responsibility to the Company or to any holder of any Warrant Certificate for
any action taken, suffered or omitted in reliance on any notice, resolution,
waiver, consent, order, certificate, or other paper, document or instrument
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the
proper party or parties.
(e) The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent
reasonable compensation for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the
performance of this Agreement, to reimburse the
-13-
15
Warrant Agent for all expenses, taxes and governmental charges and other
charges of any kind and nature incurred by the Warrant Agent in the performance
of this Agreement and to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless
against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and counsel fees,
for anything done, suffered or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the performance
of this Agreement except as a result of the Warrant Agent's negligence or bad
faith.
(f) The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to
institute any action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action
likely to involve expense unless the Company or one or more registered holders
of Warrant Certificates shall furnish the Warrant Agent with reasonable
security and indemnity for any costs and expenses which may be incurred, but
this provision shall not affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such
action as the Warrant Agent may consider proper, whether with or without any
such security or indemnity.
(g) The Warrant Agent and any stockholder, director,
officer or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in the Warrants
or other securities of the Company, or become pecuniarily interested in any
transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend
money to or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant
Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent
from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal
entity.
(h) The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent
and in ministerial capacities, and its duties shall be determined solely by the
provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for anything which it
may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement except for their
its own negligence or bad faith.
(i) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any
responsibility in respect to the validity of this Agreement or the execution
and delivery hereof (except the due execution and delivery hereof by the
Warrant Agent) or in respect to the validity or execution of any Warrant
Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall the Warrant Agent
by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to
-14-
16
the authorization or reservation of any shares of Common Stock of the Company
to be issued pursuant to any Warrant or as to whether any such shares will,
when issued, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (or as to any
liability of the holders thereof) or as to any Warrant Rate or Exercise Price
or the number or kind or amount of shares of Common Stock of the Company
issuable upon exercise of any Warrant.
(j) The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized and directed
to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder
from the Chairman of the Board, President, any Vice President, the Secretary or
the Treasurer of the Company, and to apply to any of them for advice or
instructions in connection with its duties, and shall not be liable for any
action taken, omitted or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with instructions of any such officer.
(k) The Warrant Agent shall cancel any Warrant
Certificate delivered to it for exercise, in whole or in part, or delivered to
it for registration of transfer or exchange or substitution and shall deliver
to the Company from time to time or otherwise dispose of such canceled Warrant
Certificates in a manner satisfactory to the Company.
(l) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this
Agreement the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact
or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking, omitting or
suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in
respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be
conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by the Chairman of
the Board, President, any Vice President, the Secretary or the Treasurer of the
Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such statement shall be full
warrant to the Warrant Agent for any action taken, omitted or suffered in good
faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such
statement; but in its discretion the Warrant Agent may in lieu thereof accept
other evidence of such fact or matter or may require such further or additional
evidence as it may deem reasonable.
(m) The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement
available for inspection by registered holders of Warrant Certificates during
normal business hours at its offices.
-15-

10. Changes of Warrant Agent. If the Warrant Agent shall become
incapable of acting as Warrant Agent, the Company shall appoint a successor. If
the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days
after it has been notified in writing of such incapacity by the Warrant Agent
or by the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate, then the registered
holder of any Warrant Certificate may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent. Pending
appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent, either by the Company or by
such a court, the duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the
Company. After acceptance in writing of the appointment by the successor
Warrant Agent, the successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same
powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named
