right to purchase, commencing ________ __, 1999 until 5:00 P.M., Eastern time,
on _________, 2003 (the "WARRANT EXERCISE TERM"), up to 140,000 fully-paid and

13 hereof, the Underlying Warrants are in all respects identical to the Public
Shares and Public Warrants, respectively, being sold to the public pursuant to
the terms and provisions of the Underwriting Agreement.
2. WARRANT CERTIFICATES. The warrant certificates delivered and to be
delivered pursuant to this Agreement (the "WARRANT CERTIFICATES") shall be, for
the Warrants exercisable for the purchase of Underlying Shares, in the form set
forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, and, for the Warrants
exercisable for the purchase of Underlying Warrants, in the form of Exhibit B
attached hereto and made a part hereof, each with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as required or permitted by this
Agreement.
3. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.
3.1. CASH EXERCISE. The Warrants initially are exercisable at
a price of $7.50 per Share purchased and $0.1875 per Underlying Warrant
purchased, payable in cash or by check to the order of the Company, or any
combination thereof, subject to adjustment as provided in Article 8 hereof. Upon
surrender of the Warrant Certificate(s) with the annexed Form of Election to
Purchase duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price (as
hereinafter defined) for the Shares and Underlying Warrants purchased, at the
Company's principal offices in Florida (currently located at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx,
Xxxxx 000, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 33431) the registered holder of a Warrant
Certificate ("HOLDER" or "HOLDERS") shall be entitled to receive a certificate
or certificates for the Shares so purchased and/or a certificate or certificates
for the Underlying Warrants so purchased. The purchase rights represented by
each Warrant Certificate are exercisable at the option of the Holder thereof, in
whole or in part (but not as to fractional Shares or fractional Underlying
Warrants). In the case of the purchase of less than all Shares or Underlying
Warrants purchasable under any Warrant Certificate, the Company shall cancel
said Warrant Certificate upon the surrender thereof and shall execute and
deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor for the balance of the Shares or
Underlying Warrants purchasable thereunder.
3.2. CASHLESS EXERCISE. At any time during the Warrant
Exercise Term, the Holder may, at the Holder's option, exchange, in whole or in
part, the Warrants represented by such Holder's Warrant Certificate which are
exercisable for the purchase of Shares and Underlying Warrants (a "WARRANT
EXCHANGE"), into the number of Shares and Underlying Warrants determined in
accordance with this Section , by surrendering such Warrant Certificate at the
principal office of the Company or at the office of its transfer agent,
accompanied by a notice stating such Holder's intent to effect such exchange,
the number of Warrants to be so exchanged and the date on which the Holder
requests that such Warrant Exchange occur (the "NOTICE OF EXCHANGE"). The
Warrant Exchange shall take place on the date specified in the Notice of
Exchange or, if later, the date the Notice of Exchange is received by the
Company (the "EXCHANGE DATE"). Certificates for the Shares and Underlying
Warrants issuable upon such Warrant Exchange and, if applicable, a new Warrant
Certificate of like tenor
2
representing the Warrants which were subject to the surrendered Warrant
Certificate and not included in the Warrant Exchange, shall be issued as of the
Exchange Date and delivered to the Holder within three (3) days following the
Exchange Date.
In connection with any Warrant Exchange, the Holder shall be entitled
to subscribe for and acquire (i) the number of Shares (rounded to the next
highest integer) which would, but for such Warrant Exchange, than be issuable
pursuant to the provisions of Section above upon the exercise of the Warrants
specified by the Holder in its Notice of Exchange (the "TOTAL SHARE NUMBER")
less (ii) the number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a)
the product of the Total Share Number and the existing Exercise Price (as
hereinafter defined) per Share by (b) the Public Shares Market Price (as
hereinafter defined) of a Public Share on the day preceding the Warrant
Exchange. "PUBLIC SHARES MARKET PRICE" at any date shall be deemed to be the
last reported sale price of the Common Stock, or, in case no such reported sales
takes place on such day, the average of the last reported sale prices for the
last three (3) trading days, in either case as officially reported by the
principal securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to
trading or as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or, if the Common Stock is
not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or quoted
in the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the closing bid price as furnished by (i) the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") through the Nasdaq
Stock Market Inc. ("NASDAQ") or (ii) a similar organization if NASDAQ is no
longer reporting such information.
In connection with any Warrant Exchange, the Holder shall be entitled
to subscribe for and acquire (i) the number of Underlying Warrants (rounded to
the next highest integer) which would, but for such Warrant Exchange, than be
issuable pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 above upon the exercise of
the Warrants specified by the Holder in its Notice of Exchange (the "TOTAL
UNDERLYING WARRANT NUMBER") less (ii) the number of Underlying Warrants equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the product of the Total Underlying
Warrant Number and the existing Exercise Price per Underlying Warrant by (b) the
Public Warrants Market Price (as hereinafter defined) of a Public Warrant on the
day preceding the Warrant Exchange. "PUBLIC WARRANTS MARKET PRICE" at any date
shall be deemed to be the last reported sale price of the Public Warrants, or,
in case no such reported sales takes place on such day, the average of the last
reported sale prices for the last three (3) trading days, in either case as
officially reported by the principal securities exchange on which the Public
Warrants are listed or admitted to trading or as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market, or, if the Public Warrants are not listed or admitted to trading on any
national securities exchange or quoted in the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the
closing bid price as furnished by (i) the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") through the Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. ("NASDAQ") or
(ii) a similar organization if NASDAQ is no longer reporting such information.
4. ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES.
Upon the exercise of the Warrants, the issuance of
certificates for the Shares purchased and certificates for the Underlying
Warrants purchased, and upon the exercise of the Underlying Warrants, the
issuance of certificates for the Underlying Warrant Shares purchased, shall be
made forthwith (and in any event within three (3) business days thereafter)
without charge to the Holder thereof including, without limitation, any tax
which may be payable in
3
respect of the issuance thereof, and such certificates shall (subject to the
provisions of Article hereof) be issued in the name of, or in such names as may
be directed by, the Holder thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificates in a name other
than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the
issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall
have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
The Warrant Certificates and the certificates representing the Shares
and the Underlying Warrants shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the
manual or facsimile signature of the present or any future Chairman or Vice
Chairman of the Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer, President or Vice
President of the Company under its corporate seal reproduced thereon, attested
to by the manual or facsimile signature of the present or any future Secretary
or Assistant Secretary of the Company. Warrant Certificates and certificates
representing the Underlying Warrants shall be dated the date of execution by the
Company upon initial issuance, division, exchange, substitution or transfer.
Upon exercise, in part or in whole, of the Warrants, certificates
representing the Shares and the Underlying Warrants purchased, and upon
exercise, in whole or in part, of the Underlying Warrants, certificates
representing the Underlying Warrant Shares purchased (collectively, the "WARRANT
SECURITIES"), shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following:
"The securities represented by this certificate and the other
securities issuable upon exercise thereof have not been registered for
purposes of public distribution under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "ACT"), and may not be offered or sold except (i) pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Act, (ii) to the
extent applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or any similar
rule under such Act relating to the disposition of securities), or
(iii) upon the delivery by the holder to the Company of an opinion of
counsel, reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company, stating
that an exemption from registration under such Act is available."
5. RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER OF WARRANTS.
The Holder of a Warrant Certificate, by the Holder's
acceptance thereof, covenants and agrees that the Warrants are being acquired as
an investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and that the
Warrants, Shares, Underlying Warrants and Underlying Warrant Shares may not be
sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated or otherwise disposed of,
in whole or in part, for a period of one (1) year from the date hereof, except
to the Underwriter or to the Designees.
6. PRICE.
6.1. INITIAL AND ADJUSTED EXERCISE PRICE. The initial exercise
price of each Warrant shall be $7.50 per Share and $0.1875 per Underlying
Warrant. The adjusted exercise
4
price per Share and the adjusted exercise price per Underlying Warrant shall be
the prices which shall result from time to time from any and all adjustments of
the initial exercise price per Share or per Underlying Warrant, as the case may
be, in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 hereof.
6.2. EXERCISE PRICE. The term "EXERCISE PRICE" herein shall
mean the initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending upon
the context.
7. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
7.1. REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. All of the
Warrants, the Shares, the Underlying Warrants, and the Underlying Warrant Shares
have been registered for purposes of public distribution under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "ACT").
7.2. REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. As used herein the term
"REGISTRABLE SECURITY" means each of the Warrants, the Shares, the Underlying
Warrants, the Underlying Warrant Shares and any shares of Common Stock issued
upon any stock split or stock dividend in respect of such Shares or Underlying
Warrant Shares; provided, however, that with respect to any particular
Registrable Security, such security shall cease to be a Registrable Security
when, as of the date of determination, (i) it has been effectively registered
under the Act and disposed of pursuant thereto, (ii) registration under the Act
is no longer required for subsequent public distribution of such security, or
(iii) it has ceased to be outstanding. The term "REGISTRABLE SECURITIES" means
any and/or all of the securities falling within the foregoing definition of a
"REGISTRABLE SECURITY." In the event of any merger, reorganization,
consolidation, recapitalization or other change in corporate structure affecting
the Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the definition of
"REGISTRABLE SECURITY" as is appropriate in order to prevent any dilution or
enlargement of the rights granted pursuant to this Article .
7.3. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO REGISTRATION.
The Company covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Once effective, the Company will use its best
efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the
earlier of (i) the date that all of the Registrable Securities have been sold or
(ii) the date the holders thereof receive an opinion of counsel to the Company
that all of the Registrable Securities may be freely traded without registration
under the Act, under Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Act or otherwise.
(b) In connection with the registration under Section
7.1 hereof, the Company shall file the Registration Statement as expeditiously
as possible, but in any event no later than furnish each holder of Registrable
Securities such number of prospectuses as shall reasonably be requested.
(c) The Company shall pay all costs, fees and
expenses (other than underwriting fees, discounts and nonaccountable expense
allowance applicable to the Registrable Securities and fees and expenses of
counsel retained by the holders of Registrable Securities) in connection with
all Registration Statements filed pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof including,
5
without limitation, the Company's legal and accounting fees, printing expenses,
and blue sky fees and expenses.
(d) The Company will take all necessary action which
may be required in qualifying or registering the Registrable Securities included
in the Registration Statement, for offering and sale under the securities or
blue sky laws of such states as are reasonably requested by the holders of such
securities.
(e) The Company shall indemnify any holder of the
Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement and any
underwriter or person deemed to be an underwriter under the Act and each person,
if any, who controls such holder or underwriter or person deemed to be an
underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("EXCHANGE ACT"), against all loss,
claim, damage, expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably incurred
in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which
any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise,
arising from such registration statement to the same extent and with the same
effect as the provisions pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify
the Underwriter, and to provide for just and equitable contribution, as set
forth in Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement.
(f) Any holder of Registrable Securities to be sold
pursuant to a registration statement, and such holder's successors and assigns,
shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify, the Company, its officers and
directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss,
claim, damage or expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever)
to which they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise,
arising from information furnished by or on behalf of such holder, or such
holder's successors or assigns, for specific inclusion in such Registration
Statement to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions pursuant
to which the Underwriter has agreed to indemnify the Company, and to provide for
just and equitable contribution, as set forth in Section 7 of the Underwriting
Agreement.
(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as requiring any holder to exercise the Warrants or the Underlying
Warrants held by such holder prior to the initial filing of any registration
statement or the effectiveness thereof.
(h) If the Company shall fail to comply with the
provisions of this Article , the Company shall, in addition to any other
equitable or other relief available to the holders of Registrable Securities, be
liable for any or all incidental, special and consequential damages sustained by
the holders of Registrable Securities, requesting registration of their
Registrable Securities.
(i) The Company shall promptly deliver copies of all
correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors
and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with
respect to the Registration Statement to each holder of Registrable Securities
included for such registration in such Registration Statement
6
pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof requesting such correspondence and memoranda and
to the managing underwriter, if any, of the offering in connection with which
such Holder's Registrable Securities are being registered and shall permit each
holder of Registrable Securities and such underwriter to do such reasonable
investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information
contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement as it deems reasonably
necessary to comply with applicable securities laws or rules of the NASD. Such
investigation shall include access to books, records and properties and
opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and
independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable times
and as often as any such holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter shall
reasonably request.
8. ADJUSTMENTS OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SECURITIES. The
following adjustments apply to the Exercise Price of the Warrants with respect
to the Shares and the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of the
Warrants. In the event the Exercise Price per Share and/or the number of Shares
so purchasable is adjusted, then the Exercise Price of the Warrants relating to
the Underlying Warrants and the number of Underlying Warrants purchasable
thereunder shall be adjusted in the same proportion.
8.1. DISTRIBUTION OF SECURITIES. In case the Company shall at
any time after the date hereof pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make
any issuance or distribution in shares of Common Stock or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than
securities to employees of the Company pursuant to an employee stock purchase or
option plan that has been approved by the Company's stockholders in which
non-executive employees are eligible to participate), then upon such dividend or
distribution, the holder of Warrants shall receive the amount of such dividend
in shares of Common Stock or the amount of such other distribution in shares of
Common Stock which would have otherwise been payable to such holder if it been
the holder of record of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of its Warrant on
the record date for the determination of those entitled to such stock dividend
or distribution.
8.2. SUBDIVISION AND COMBINATION. In case the Company shall at
any time subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of
subdivision or increased in the case of combination.
8.3. ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SECURITIES. Upon each adjustment
of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Article , the number of
Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted to the
nearest full number by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing
the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the case of adjustments to the exercise price of the Warrants with
respect to the Underlying Warrants and/or the number of Underlying Warrants
purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, if an event occurs that results in an
adjustment of the number and/or price of the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Public Warrants pursuant to Section 6 of the Warrant
Agreement by and among the Company, the Underwriter and American Securities
Transfer & Trust, Inc. dated as of July __, 1998 ("PUBLIC WARRANT AGREEMENT"),
resulting in
7
automatic adjustment in the number and/or price of the Underlying Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Underlying Warrants pursuant to Section 8.5
hereof, then the adjustment provided for in this Section shall not, in such
instance, result in any further adjustment in the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock ultimately issuable upon exercise of the Underlying Warrants.
8.4. RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case of
any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other
than a change in par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value,
or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of any
consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another
corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the
surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or
change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, except a change as a result of
a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in par value, as
aforesaid), or in the case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company as an entirety, the Holders shall thereafter have the
right to purchase the kind and number of shares of stock and other securities
and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance as if the Holders were the owners of both the Shares
and the Underlying Warrant Shares immediately prior to any such events.
8.5. ADJUSTMENT OF UNDERLYING WARRANTS' EXERCISE PRICE AND
SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF UNDERLYING WARRANTS. With respect to any of
the Underlying Warrants, whether or not the Warrants have been exercised and
whether or not the Warrants are issued and outstanding, the exercise price for,
and the number of, Underlying Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Underlying Warrants shall automatically be proportionately adjusted in
accordance with Section 6 of the Public Warrant Agreement, upon the occurrence
of any of the events described therein. Thereafter, until the next such
adjustment or until otherwise adjusted in accordance with this Section 8.5, the
Underlying Warrants shall be exercisable at such adjusted exercise price and for
such adjusted number of Underlying Warrant Shares.
8.6. DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. In the event that the Company
shall at any time prior to the exercise of all Warrants make any distribution of
its assets to holders of its Common Stock as a liquidating or a partial
liquidating dividend, then the holder of Warrants who exercises its Warrants
after the record date for the determination of those holders of Common Stock
entitled to such distribution of assets as a liquidating or partial liquidating
dividend shall be entitled to receive for the Warrant Price per Warrant, in
addition to each share of Common Stock, the amount of such distribution (or, at
the option of the Company, a sum equal to the value of any such assets at the
time of such distribution as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company
in good faith) which would have been payable to such holder had he been the
holder of record of the Common Stock receivable upon exercise of his Warrant on
the record date for the determination of those entitled to such distribution. At
the time of any such dividend or distribution, the Company shall make
appropriate reserves to ensure the timely performance of the provisions of this
Subsection 8.6.
8
9. EXCHANGE AND REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES.
Each Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon
the surrender thereof by the registered Holder at the principal executive office
of the Company, for a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date
representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of
securities in such denominations as shall be designated by the Holder thereof at
the time of such surrender.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant
Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all
reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of
the Warrant Certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new
Warrant Certificate of like tenor, in lieu thereof.
10. ELIMINATION OF FRACTIONAL INTERESTS.
The Company shall not be required to issue certificates
representing fractions of Shares or fractions of Underlying Warrants upon the
exercise of the Warrants, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in
lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all
fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the
nearest whole number of Shares and Underlying Warrants.
11. RESERVATION AND LISTING OF SECURITIES.
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out
of its authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance
upon the exercise of the Warrants and the Underlying Warrants, such number of
shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof. The
Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Warrants and payment of
the Exercise Price therefor, all Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be
duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and not subject to the
preemptive rights of any shareholder. The Company further covenants and agrees
that upon exercise of the Underlying Warrants and payment of the respective
Underlying Warrant exercise price therefor, all Underlying Warrant Shares
issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid,
non-assessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any shareholder. As
long as the Warrants shall be outstanding, the Company shall use its best
efforts to cause all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
Warrants and the Underlying Warrants and all Underlying Warrants to be listed on
or quoted by NASDAQ or listed on such national securities exchange, in the event
the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange.
12. NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as
conferring upon the Holder or Holders the right to vote or to consent or to
receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meetings of shareholders for
the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights
whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to
the expiration of the Warrants and their exercise, any of the following events
shall occur:
9
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of
its shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a
dividend or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or
distribution payable otherwise than out of current or retained earnings, as
indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the
books of the Company; or
(b) the Company shall offer to all the holders of its
Common Stock any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, or
any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor; or
(c) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of
all or substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entirety
shall be proposed; or
(d) reclassification or change of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value to no par value, or
from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination),
consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another
corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the
surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or
change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, except a change as a result of
a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in par value, as
aforesaid), or a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of
the Company as an entirety is proposed; or
(e) The Company or an affiliate of the Company shall
propose to issue any rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock or any other
securities of the Company or of such affiliate to all the shareholders of the
Company;
then, in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice
to the Holder or Holders of such event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the
date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the
determination of the shareholders entitled to such dividend, distribution,
convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights, options or
warrants, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding
up or sale. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing
the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to give such notice or any
defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection
with the declaration or payment of any such dividend or distribution, or the
issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights,
options or warrants, or any proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or
sale.
13. UNDERLYING WARRANTS.
The form of the certificates representing the Underlying
Warrants (and the form of election to purchase shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of the Underlying Warrants and the form of assignment printed on the
reverse thereof) shall be substantially as set forth in Exhibit "B" hereto. As
set forth in Section 8.3 of this Agreement, the exercise price of the Underlying
Warrants and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
the Underlying Warrants are subject to adjustment, whether or not the Warrants
have been
10
exercised and the Underlying Warrants have been issued, in the manner and upon
the occurrence of the events set forth in Section 6 of the Public Warrant
Agreement, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part
hereof as if set forth in its entirety herein. Subject to the provisions of this
Agreement and upon issuance of the Underlying Warrants, each registered holder
of such Underlying Warrants shall have the right to purchase from the Company
(and the Company shall issue to such registered holders) up to the number of
fully paid and non-assessable Underlying Warrant Shares (subject to adjustment
as provided herein and in the Public Warrant Agreement), free and clear of all
preemptive rights of shareholders, provided that such registered holder
complies, in connection with the exercise of such holders' Underlying Warrants,
with the terms governing exercise of the Public Warrants set forth in the Public
Warrant Agreement, and pays the applicable exercise price, determined in
accordance with the terms of the Public Warrant Agreement. Upon exercise of the
Underlying Warrants, the Company shall forthwith issue to the registered holder
of any such Underlying Warrants, in such holder's name or in such name as may be
directed by such holder, certificates for the number of Underlying Warrant
Shares so purchased. The Underlying Warrants shall be transferable in the manner
provided in the Public Warrant Agreement, and upon any such transfer, a new
Underlying Warrant shall be issued promptly to the transferee. The Company
covenants to, and agrees with, each Holder that without the prior written
consent of all the Holders, the Public Warrant Agreement will not be modified,
amended, cancelled, altered or superseded, and that the Company will send to
each Holder, irrespective of whether or not the Warrants have been exercised,
any and all notices required by the Public Warrant Agreement to be sent to
holders of the Public Warrants.
14. NOTICES.
