NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

date on which the Company Agent shall have received both (a) this Warrant, with
the exercise form thereon duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, and (b) payment in cash, or by official bank or
certified check made payable to the Company, of an amount in lawful money of the
United States of America equal to the applicable Purchase Price.
(d) "Purchase Price" shall mean the purchase price to be paid upon
exercise of each Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, which price shall
be $3.00.
(e) "Redemption Price" shall mean the price at which the Company may,
at its option in accordance with the terms hereof, redeem the Warrants, which
price shall be $0.01 per Warrant.
(f) "Warrant Expiration Date" shall mean 5:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) on
September 30, 2001, or the Redemption Date as defined in Section 6, whichever is
earlier; provided that if such date shall in the State of New Jersey be a
holiday or a day on which banks are authorized or required to close, then 5:00
p.m. (E.S.T.) on the next following day which in the State of New Jersey is not
a holiday or a day on which banks are authorized or required to close. Upon
notice to the Warrant Holder the Company shall have the right to extend the
Warrant Expiration Date.
(g) "Warrant Holder" shall mean Rock and his permitted successors and
assigns under this Warrant Agreement.
SECTION 2. Issuance of Warrants
(a) This Warrant initially shall entitle the Warrant Holder to purchase
Twelve Thousand Five Hundred (12,500) shares of Common Stock at the Purchase
Price upon the exercise hereof, in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to
modification and adjustment as provided in Section 7.
(b) From time to time, up to the Warrant Expiration Date, the Company
shall deliver substitutes for this Warrant Agreement in required whole number
denominations to the persons entitled thereto in connection with any transfer or
exchange permitted under this Agreement; provided that no Warrant Certificates
shall be issued except (i) those initially issued hereunder; (ii) those issued
upon the exercise of fewer than all Warrants represented by this Warrant
Agreement, to evidence any unexercised Warrants held by the exercising Warrant
Holder; (iii) those issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to Section 5;
and (iv) at the option of the Company, in such form as may be approved by its
Board of Directors, to reflect any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price,

or the Redemption Price therefor made pursuant to Section 6 hereof.
SECTION 3. Exercise
This Warrant may be exercised by the Warrant Holder thereof for 10,000
shares of Common Stock or any integral multiple thereof (or, if this Warrant
shall then be exercisable for fewer than 10,000 Shares of Common Stock, for the
full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Warrant Agreement) at any
time on or after the date hereof, but not after the Warrant Expiration Date,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. A Warrant shall
be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on
the Exercise Date and the Warrant Holder shall be treated for all purposes as
the holder of those securities upon the exercise of the Warrant as of the close
of business on the Exercise Date. Promptly following the Exercise Date, the
Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to the Warrant Holder a
certificate or certificates for the securities deliverable upon such exercise,
(plus a new Warrant Agreement for any remaining unexercised Warrants of the
Warrant Holder) unless prior to the date of issuance of such certificates
the Company shall refrain from causing such issuance of certificates pending
clearance of checks received in payment of the Purchase Price pursuant to such
Warrants.
SECTION 4. Reservation of Shares; Listing; Payment of Taxes, Etc.
(a) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue
upon exercise of Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then
be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The Company covenants
that all shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants shall, at the time of delivery, be duly and validly issued, fully paid,
and nonassessable.
(b) The Company covenants that if any securities to be reserved for the
purpose of exercise of Warrants hereunder require registration with, or approval
of, any governmental authority under any federal securities law before such
securities may be validly issued or delivered upon such exercise, then the
Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as reasonably possible, endeavor
to secure such registration or approval. The Company will use reasonable efforts
to obtain appropriate approvals or registrations under state "blue sky"
securities laws. With respect to any such securities, however, Warrants may not
be exercised by, or shares of Common Stock issued to, any Warrant Holder in any
state in which such exercise would be unlawful.
(c) The Company shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar taxes
(other than taxes relating to or arising out of the receipt of income) that may
be imposed with respect to the issuance of Warrants, or the issuance or delivery
of any shares upon exercise of the Warrants; provided, however, that if the
shares of Common Stock are to be delivered in a name other than the name of the
Warrant Holder of the Warrant Certificate representing any Warrant being
exercised, then no such delivery shall be made unless the person requesting the
same has paid to the Warrant Agent the amount of transfer taxes or charges
incident thereto, if any.
SECTION 5. Exchange and Transfer
(a) This Warrant Agreement may be exchanged for other Warrant
Agreements representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants of the same class
or may be transferred in whole or in part. Warrant Agreements to be exchanged
shall be surrendered to the Company at its Corporate Office, and upon
satisfaction of the terms and provisions hereof, the Company shall execute
deliver in exchange therefor the Warrant Agreement or Agreements which the
Warrant Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive.
(b) Upon due presentment for transfer of any Warrant, the Company shall
execute and deliver to the transferee or transferees a new Warrant Agreement or
Agreements representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants.
(c) With respect to all Warrant Agreements presented for transfer, or
for exchange or exercise, the subscription form in the form annexed hereto as
Annex A shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer and subscription, in form satisfactory to the Company,
duly executed by the Warrant Holder or his attorney-in-fact duly authorized in
writing.
(d) The Company may require payment by a Warrant Holder of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any exchange or transfer.
(e) Prior to due presentment for transfer thereof, the Company may deem
and treat the Warrant Holder of any Warrant Agreement as the absolute owner
thereof and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notations
of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than a duly authorized
officer of the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice
to the contrary.
SECTION 6. Redemption
(a) On not less than thirty (30) days notice given at any time to
Warrant Holders of the Warrants being redeemed, the Warrants may be redeemed, at
the option of the Company, at a redemption price of $0.01 per Warrant, provided
the Market Price of the Common Stock receivable upon exercise of such Warrants
shall exceed $10.00 (the "Target Price"), subject to adjustment as set forth in
Section 6(f), below. Market Price for the purpose of this Section 6 shall mean
(i) the average closing bid price, for twenty (20) consecutive trading days,
ending within five (5) days of the date of the notice of redemption, which
notice shall be mailed no later than five days thereafter, of the Common Stock
as reported by the NASDAQ or (ii) the last reported sale price, for twenty (20)
consecutive trading days, ending within five (5) days of the date of the notice
of redemption, which notice shall be mailed no later than five days thereafter,
on the primary exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, if the Common Stock
is traded on a national securities exchange, including the Nasdaq National
Market. All Warrants must be redeemed if any are redeemed. The date fixed for
redemption of the Warrants is referred to herein as the "Redemption Date".
(b) If the conditions set forth in Section 6(a) are met, and the
Company desires to exercise its right to redeem the Warrants, it shall mail a
notice of redemption to each of the Warrant Holders of the Warrants to be
redeemed, first class, postage prepaid, not later than the thirtieth day before
the date fixed for redemption, at their last address as shall appear on the
records maintained by the Company. Any notice mailed in the manner provided
herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the
Warrant Holder receives such notice.
(c) The notice of redemption shall specify (i) the redemption price,
(ii) the Redemption Date, (iii) the place where the Warrant Agreements shall be
delivered and the redemption price paid and (iv) that the right to exercise the
Warrant shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the business day
immediately preceding the Redemption Date. No failure to mail such notice nor
any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the
proceedings for such redemption except as to a Warrant Holder (a) to whom notice
was not mailed or (b) whose notice was defective. An affidavit of the Secretary
or an Assistant Secretary of the Company that notice of redemption has been
mailed shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts
stated therein.
(d) Any right to exercise a Warrant shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New
York time) on the business day immediately preceding the Redemption Date. On and
after the Redemption Date, Warrant Holders shall have no further rights except
to receive, upon surrender of the Warrant, the Redemption Price.
(e) From and after the Redemption Date, the Company shall, at the place
specified in the notice of redemption, upon presentation and surrender to the
Company by or on behalf of the Warrant Holder thereof of one or more Warrant
Agreements evidencing Warrants to be redeemed, deliver or cause to be delivered
to or upon the written order of such Warrant Holder a sum in cash equal to the
redemption price of each such Warrant. From and after the Redemption Date and
upon the deposit or setting aside by the Company of a sum sufficient to redeem
all the Warrants called for redemption, such Warrants shall expire and become
void and all rights hereunder and under the Warrant Agreements, except the right
to receive payment of the redemption price, shall cease.
(f) If the shares of the Company's Common Stock are subdivided or
combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Target
Price shall be proportionally adjusted by the ratio which the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event bears to the
total number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding immediately after such
event.
SECTION 7. Adjustment of Number of Shares of Common Stock or Warrants
(a) In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other
change of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or in case of any consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and
which does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other
change of outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in case of any sale or
conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as, or
substantially as, an entirety (other than a sale/leaseback, mortgage or other
financing transaction), the Company shall cause effective provision to be made
so that each holder of a Warrant then outstanding shall have the right
thereafter, by exercising such Warrant, to purchase the kind and number of
shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon
such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
that might have been purchased upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior
to such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation
or merger unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the
successor (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or
merger or the corporation purchasing assets or other appropriate corporation or
entity shall assume, by written instrument executed and delivered to the Warrant
Agent, the obligation to deliver to the holder of each Warrant such shares of
stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
such holders may be entitled to purchase and the other obligations under this
Agreement. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, capital reorganizations and other changes of outstanding
shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations or mergers.
(b) Irrespective of any adjustments or changes in the number of shares
of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Warrant
Agreements theretofore and thereafter issued shall, unless the Company shall
determine in its sole discretion to issue new Warrant Agreements, continue to
express the number of shares purchasable thereunder and the Redemption Price
therefor as the Purchase Price per share, and the number of shares purchasable
and the Redemption Price therefore were expressed in the Warrant Agreements when
the same were originally issued.
(c) After each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this
Section, the Company will promptly prepare a certificate signed by the Chairman
or President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or
an Assistant Secretary, of the Company setting forth said adjustment and a brief
statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment. The Company will promptly
cause a brief summary thereof to be sent by ordinary first class mail to each
Warrant Holder at his last address as it shall appear on the books of the
Company. No failure to mail such notice nor any defect therein or in the mailing
thereof shall affect the validity thereof except as to the holder to whom the
Company failed to mail such notice, or except as to the holder whose notice was
defective. The affidavit of an officer of the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary of the Company that such notice has been mailed shall, in the absence
of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
SECTION 8. Fractional Warrants and Fractional Shares
(a) If the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the
exercise of each Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Company
nevertheless shall not be required to issue fractions of shares, upon exercise
of the Warrants or otherwise, or to distribute Agreements that evidence
fractional shares. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any
exercise hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to
such fraction multiplied by the current market value of such fractional share,
determined as follows:
(1) If the Common Stock is listed on a National Securities
Exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such
exchange or listed for trading on the Nasdaq National Market,
the current value shall be the last reported sale price of
the Common Stock on such exchange or market on the last
business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or
if no such sale is made on such day, the average of the
closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or
market; or
(2) If the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges, the current value shall be the mean of
the last reported bid and asked prices reported by the Nasdaq
Small Cap market, or, if not traded thereon, by the National
Quotation Bureau, Inc. On the last business day prior to the
date of the exercise of this Warrant; or
(3) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so
reported, the current value shall be an amount determined in
such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
SECTION 9. Warrant Holders Not Deemed Stockholders
No holder of Warrants shall, as such, be entitled to vote or to receive
dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock that may at any time be
issuable upon exercise of such Warrants for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall
anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of Warrants, as
such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for
the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any
meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether
upon any recapitalization, issue or reclassification of stock, change of par
value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger or conveyance or
otherwise), or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or
subscription rights, until such Holder shall have exercised such Warrants and
been issued shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions hereof.
SECTION 10. Registration and Indemnity
(a) In the event that the Company proposes to register any of its
securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 ("33 Act"), whether as a
primary or as a secondary offering or both, and whether or not pursuant to
registration rights granted to other holders of securities of the Company, the
Company shall give each Warrant Holder prior written notice of such incident no
more than five (5) days following the date upon which the board of directors of
the Company authorizes the registration or the negotiation of the registration
of such securities, whichever shall first occur, and no less than sixty (60)
days prior to the date upon which any such registration of such securities is
expected to become effective under the 33 Act. Upon the written request of any
Warrant Holder, within twenty (20) days of the Warrant Holder's receipt of such
notice, the Company shall, at its sole expense, include in such registration all
shares of Common Stock or other securities which have been or may be acquired
pursuant to this Warrant Agreement and, in the event that this Warrant Agreement
has been exercised in whole or in part, or any Warrant Holder notifies the
Company no less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed effective date of
such registration under the Act that the Warrant Holder intends to exercise this
Warrant the Company shall, upon the written request of the Warrant Holder, sell
such shares of Common Stock or other securities in the same manner and on the
same terms and conditions as securities are being sold in such registered
offering. The Company shall not be required to register fewer than 25,000 shares
of Common Stock or such lesser number of shares of Common Stock as may then be
subject to this Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Holder shall cooperate with the
Company to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the Company to effectuate
any such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be
obligated to pay, and the Warrant Holder shall pay or permit the deduction from
its proceeds of, that portion of the underwriter's compensation (net of
expenses) attributable solely to the sale of securities of the Warrant Holder
registered and sold pursuant to this Section. The Company shall not be required
to register this Warrant Agreement or the securities issued or issuable pursuant
to this Warrant Agreement pursuant to this Section in the event that the Company
shall register securities solely pursuant to a registration statement on Form
S-8 promulgated under the 33 Act or any successor to such form or on a Form S-4
used solely in connection with the issuance of securities to equity holders of
an entity being acquired by the Company or which is being merged into the
Company with the Company being the survivor provided, however that, in the event
the Company shall register the sale of Shares of Common Stock or other equity
securities then held by persons or entities other than the Company, the Warrant
Holder shall be entitled to registration of the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Warrant Agreement in accordance with the provision of this
Section 10.
(b) Each Warrant Holder registering Shares shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Company for any damages to which the Company becomes subject under
the 33 Act solely to the extent such damages arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement of or the omission to state a material fact required to be
stated in a registration statement pursuant to which this Warrant or securities
underlying this Warrant are registered pursuant to the Warrant Holder's request
under this Section, in each case to the extent that such untrue fact or omission
was made in reliance upon or in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by the Warrant Holder for use with reference to the Warrant Holder
in the preparation of such registration statement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant
neither this Warrant nor the Shares underlying this Warrant may be sold,
assigned or otherwise transferred unless this Warrant or such shares, as the
case may be, are registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "33 Act") and under applicable state securities laws or an exemption from
the 33 Act and such state securities laws is available in respect of this
Warrant, such shares or such sale, assignment or transfer, as the case may be.
(d) In the event that any Warrant Holder shall exercise his rights
pursuant to Section 10 (a) of this Agreement, the Company will furnish to each
Warrant Holder, upon request, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to any Warrant
Holder to the effect that (i) a registration statement under the 33 Act, as then
in effect with respect to Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and that
the prospectus included therein complies as to form in all material respects,
except as to financial statements, including schedules, and other accounting and
financial data, as to which counsel need express no opinion, with the
requirements of the 33 Act; or (ii) a registration statement under the 33 Act
with respect to said Shares is not required. In the event that said opinion
states that a registration statement is in effect, the Company will, from time
to time, furnish each Warrant Holder with current prospectuses meeting the
requirements of the Act and such rules and regulations. The Company further
agrees to pay all fees, costs and expenses in connection with the preparation
and delivery to each Warrant Holder of the foregoing opinions and prospectuses
and the above-mentioned registrations and other actions, and to immediately
notify each Warrant Holder in the event that (i) the Commission shall have
issued or threatened to issue any order preventing or suspending the use of the
prospectus; (ii) at any time the prospectus shall contain an untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) if for any
reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the prospectus in order to
comply with the 33 Act.
(e) If any action, claim or proceeding shall be brought or asserted
under this Section against a person indemnified pursuant to this Section (an
"Indemnified Person) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this
Section from any other person or entity (an Indemnifying Person"), the
Indemnified Person shall give prompt written notice of such action or claim to
the Indemnifying Person who shall assume the defense thereof, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnified Person and the
payment of all expenses; except that any delay or failure to so notify the
Indemnifying Person shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of his or its
obligations hereunder. The Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ
separate counsel in any of the foregoing actions, claims or proceedings and to
participate in the defense thereof and the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Person unless the Indemnified Person
and the Indemnifying Person are named as parties and legal counsel to the
Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person shall in good faith determine that
representation by the same counsel is inappropriate. In the event that the
Indemnifying Person, within ten days after notice of any such action or claim,
fails to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Person shall have the right
to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such action, claim or
proceeding for the account of the Indemnifying Person, subject to the right of
the Indemnifying Person to assume the defense of such action, claim or
proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person at any
time prior to the settlement, compromise or final determination thereof.
Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnifying
Person shall not, without the Indemnified Person's prior written consent, settle
or compromise any action or claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with
respect to any action, claim or proceeding for anything other than money damages
paid by the Indemnifying Person that includes as an unconditional term thereof
the release by the claimant or the plaintiff of the Indemnified Person from all
liability in respect of such action, claim or proceeding.
SECTION 11. Rights of Action
All rights of action with respect to this Agreement are vested in the
respective Warrant Holders, and any Warrant Holder, without consent of the
holder of any other Warrant, may, in his own behalf and for his own benefit,
enforce against the Company his right to exercise his Warrants for the purchase
of shares of Common Stock in the manner provided herein.
SECTION 12. Agreement of Warrant Holders
Every holder of a Warrant, by his acceptance thereof, consents and
agrees with the Company, the Warrant Agent and every other holder of a Warrant
that:
(a) The Warrants are transferable only on the books of the Company
Agent by the Warrant Holder thereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized
in writing and only if the Warrant Agreements representing such Warrants are
surrendered at the office of the Company, duly endorsed or accompanied by a
proper instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Company in its sole
discretion, together with payment of any applicable transfer taxes;
(b) The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name the Warrant
Agreement is registered as the holder and as the absolute, true and lawful owner
of the Warrants represented thereby for all purposes, and the Company shall not
be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary, except as otherwise
expressly provided in Section 6 hereof;
(c) He hereby represents, warrants and agrees to and with each of the
following with the understanding that the Company will rely upon his
representations and agreements in determining compliance under applicable
securities laws:
(i) The Warrant is a long-term investment and involves a high degree
of risk. There is no present market for the Warrant and the
exercise price for the Warrant is in excess of the current market
value of the Common Stock. The Company has announced a sale of
substantially all of its assets and, as a result of any such
sale, the Company's securities may be delisted from Nasdaq
trading. Thereafter, no market should be expected to develop. It
is unlikely that he will be able to liquidate its investment in
the event of an emergency and he could sustain a substantial loss
of part or all of his investment.
(ii) He has been provided with and has carefully examined the
Company's with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.
(iii) He is an investment banker with experience in mergers,
acquisitions and underwritings, he has, together with Josephthal,
conducted an examination of the Company, its securities, assets,
business and prospects and he is familiar with the risks
associated with each of them.
(iv) Neither the offer nor the sale of the Warrant or the Common Stock
underlying the Warrant is being registered under the Securities
Act of 1933 or the securities laws of any state. Accordingly,
none of the Warrant or the underlying Common Stock can be sold,
pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred unless and until
each is so registered or an exemption from registration is
available to him.
(v) The Warrant is acquired by him for his own account for
investment and not for distribution or resale to others and he
did not receive an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer
to purchase the Warrant by way of a general solicitation or
general advertising, nor did he become aware of the offering in
such a manner.
SECTION 13. Cancellation of Warrant Agreements
If the Company shall purchase or acquire any Warrant or Warrants, the
Warrant Agreement or Warrant Agreements evidencing the same shall thereupon be
cancelled by it and retired. The Company shall also cancel the Warrant Agreement
or Warrant Agreements following exercise of any or all of the Warrants
represented thereby or delivered to it for transfer, splitup, combination or
exchange.
SECTION 14. Modification of Agreement
The parties hereto may by supplemental agreement make any changes or
corrections in this Agreement (i) that they shall deem appropriate to cure any
ambiguity or to correct any defective or inconsistent provision or manifest
mistake or error herein contained or (ii) that they may deem necessary or
desirable and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of
Warrant Agreements; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not otherwise
be modified, supplemented or altered in any respect except with the consent in
writing of the Warrant Holders representing not less than 50% of the Warrants
originally outstanding under the terms of the Investment Banking Agreement as
adjusted (less such Warrants as shall have been exercised or otherwise
cancelled under the terms of this Agreement).
SECTION 15. Notices
All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been made when delivered or
mailed first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid as follows: if
to a Warrant Holder, at the address of such holder as shown on the books
maintained by the Company; if to the Company, at Continental Choice Care, Inc.,
00-X Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000, Attention:
President, or at such other address as may ave been furnished to the Warrant
Agent in writing by the Company.
SECTION 16. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New Jersey, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.
SECTION 17. Binding Effect
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and
its successors and assigns, and the holders from time to time of Warrant
Agreements. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to
confer upon any other person any right, remedy or claim, in equity or at law, or
to impose upon any other person any duty, liability or obligation.
SECTION 18. Termination
This Agreement shall terminate at the close of business on the Expiration Date
of all the Warrants or such earlier date upon which all Warrants have been
exercised, redeemed or canceled.
SECTION 19. Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, which taken together
shall constitute a single document.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly
executed as of the date first above written.
