1. Title to Warrant. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to
compliance with applicable laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the Company by the
Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant
together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto properly endorsed.
2. Authorization of Shares. The Company covenants that all Warrant
Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other
than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issue).
3. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Except as provided in Section 4 herein, exercise of the purchase
rights represented by this Warrant may be made at any time or times on or
after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by the
surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto duly
executed, at the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at
the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company) and upon
payment of the Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire
transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank, or by means of a
cashless exercise, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for
the number of Warrant Shares so purchased. Certificates for shares purchased
hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days
after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid.
This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or
certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other
person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a
holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant
has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all
taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 5 prior
to the issuance of such shares, have been paid.
(b) If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by
this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with
this Warrant.
(c) This Warrant shall also be exercisable by means of a "cashless
exercise" in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for
the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing
[(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = the average of the high and low trading prices per share of
Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the date of such election
on the
2
3
Nasdaq Stock Market, or if the Common Stock is not traded on the
Nasdaq Stock Market, then the Principal Market in terms of volume;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and the Notice
of Exercise.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event
shall the Holder be permitted to exercise this Warrant for Warrant Shares to
the extent that (i) the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder
(other than Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) plus (ii)
the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, would be
equal to or exceed 9.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued
and outstanding, including shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant held
by such Holder after application of this Section 3(d). As used herein,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section
3(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in
relation to other securities owned by the Holder) and of which a portion of
this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder,
and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be such
Holder's determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to
other securities owned by such Holder) and of which portion of this Warrant
is exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation,
and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of
such determination. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the
right of a Holder to exercise this Warrant into Warrant Shares at such time
as such exercise will not violate the provisions of this Section 3(d). The
provisions of this Section 3(d) may be waived by the Holder upon, at the
election of the Holder, with not less than 61 days' prior notice to the
Company, and the provisions of this Section 3(d) shall continue to apply
until such 61st day (or such later date as may be specified in such notice of
waiver). No exercise of this Warrant in violation of this Section 3(d) but
otherwise in accordance with this Warrant shall affect the status of the
Warrant Shares as validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable.
4. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled
to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by
the Exercise Price.
5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant
Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax
or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all
of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates
shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be
directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for
Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder,
this
3
4
Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment
Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may require,
as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any
transfer tax incidental thereto.
6. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books
or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant.
7. Transfer, Division and Combination.
(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws,
transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall
be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form
attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and
funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such
transfer. In the event that the Holder wishes to transfer a portion of this
Warrant, the Holder shall transfer at least 100,000 shares underlying this
Warrant to any such transferee. Upon such surrender and, if required, such
payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or
denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to
the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so
assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if
properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of
Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
(b) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon
presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a
written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants
are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to
compliance with Section 7(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in
such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or
combined in accordance with such notice.
(c) The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense
(other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 7.
(d) The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office, books
for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
8. No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise. This Warrant does not
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price or by means of a cashless exercise, the
Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such Holder
as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the later of
the date of such surrender or payment.

9. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company
covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock
certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which shall
not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of
such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
10. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for
the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be
taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday,
Sunday or legal holiday.
11. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. (a)
Stock Splits, etc. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time upon the happening of any of the following. In case the
Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a
distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of its outstanding Common
Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its
capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, then the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior
thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the
kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which it
would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been
exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number
of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which are purchasable
hereunder, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of
Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at an Exercise
Price per Warrant Share or other security obtained by multiplying the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and
dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company
resulting from such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph
shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event
retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
12. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or
Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital,
reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another
corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there
is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company),
or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property,
assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of
assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any
cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever
(including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or
in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("Other
Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock
of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right
5
6
thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of
Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it
is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result
of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition
of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. In case of any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of
assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall
expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and
every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the
Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such
modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by
resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for
adjustments of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall
be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Section 12. For purposes of this Section 12, "common stock of the successor or
acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of any class
which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock
of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also
include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which
are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or
upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and
any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The
foregoing provisions of this Section 12 shall similarly apply to successive
reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of
assets.
13. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company may at any time
during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any
amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors
of the Company.
14. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or
number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company
shall promptly mail by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
to the Holder notice of such adjustment or adjustments setting forth the number
of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and
other securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the
computation by which such adjustment was made. Such notice, in the absence of
manifest error, shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such
adjustment.
15. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other
distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its
indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or
property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company,
any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company
or any
6
7
consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of
the Company to, another corporation or,
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at
least 20 days' prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be
selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to
vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii)
in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation,
sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 20
days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such
notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date
on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and
character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any
such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to exchange their Warrant Shares for securities or other property
deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each
such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder at the
last address of Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in
accordance with Section 17(d).
16. Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period the
Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common
Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full
authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock
certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such
Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Principal Market
upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder
against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in
par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such
7
8
authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having
jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its
obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the
number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions
thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory
body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
17. Miscellaneous.
(a) Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall constitute a contract under
the laws of New York, without regard to its conflict of law, principles or
rules, and be subject to arbitration pursuant to the terms set forth in the
Purchase Agreement.
(b) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares
acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have
restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(c) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or
failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder's rights, powers or
remedies, notwithstanding all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination
Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any
provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the
Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient
to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder
in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any
of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
(d) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or
permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be
delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(e) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of
affirmative action by Holder to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration
herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any
liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a
stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company
or by creditors of the Company.
(f) Remedies. Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all
rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees
that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and
hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance
that a remedy at law would be adequate.
8
9
(g) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws,
this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to
the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the
successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant
are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this
Warrant and shall be enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Warrant
Shares.
(h) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the
provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the
Holder.
(i) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by
or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder
of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
(j) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the
convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a
part of this Warrant.
