WARRANT AGREEMENT
WARRANT AGREEMENT, dated as of October 7, 1998, between DIGITAL LAVA INC.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and ___________________ (the "Holder").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, pursuant to a letter agreement of even date with this Agreement
between the Company and certain other parties, including Xx. Xxxxxxxx "Xxxxx"
Xxxxxxxx (the "LETTER" Agreement@), the Company has agreed to issue to Holder
warrants to purchase the number of shares of the Company's common stock, par
value $.0001 per share as set forth below ("Common Stock," shares of Common
Stock shall be referred to as "Shares" or "Common Shares"), at an exercise price
as set forth below (the "Warrants").
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein set forth and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Issue. The Company shall issue to Holder a certificate (the "Warrant
Certificate") dated as of the date hereof providing each such Holder with the
right to purchase, at any time, from and after October 7, 1999, until 5:30 p.m.,
New York time, on October 7, 2005, _____ Common Shares the ("Warrant Shares")
(subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9 hereof), at an exercise price
(subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9 hereof) equal to ninety percent
(90%) of the gross sale price paid to the Company for each share of Common Stock
sold by the Company pursuant to its initial public offering (the "IPO").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of Warrant Shares and the exercise
price for the Warrant Shares are subject to adjustment on the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in Paragraph 3 of the Letter Agreement.
2. Warrant Certificate. The Warrant Certificate to be delivered pursuant to
this Agreement shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit X, attached hereto and
made a part hereof, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions
and other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement.
3. Exercisability of Warrants. The Warrants shall be exercisable at any
time from and after October 7, 1999, until 5:30 p.m., New York time, on October
7, 2005.
4. Procedure for Exercise of Warrants.
4.1 Cash Exercise. The Warrants are exercisable at an aggregate initial
exercise price per Common Share set forth in Section 7 hereof payable by
certified check or official bank check in New York Clearing House funds. Upon
surrender of a Warrant Certificate with the annexed Form of Election to Purchase
duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price (as hereinafter
defined) for the Warrant Shares purchased, at the Company's principal offices in
Los Angeles, California (presently located at 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx
0000, Xxx Xxxxxxx, XX 90024) the Holder shall be entitled to receive a
certificate for the Warrant Shares so purchased. The purchase rights represented
by the Warrant Certificate are exercisable at the option of the Holder, in whole
or in part (but not as to fractional Common Shares underlying the Warrants). In
the case of the purchase of less than all the Warrant Shares purchasable under
the 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 Warrant Shares purchasable thereunder.
4.2 Cashless Exercise. In addition to the exercise of all or a portion of
the Warrants by the payment of the Exercise Price in cash or check as set forth
in Section 4.1 above, and in lieu of any such payment, the Holder has the right
to exercise the Warrants, in full or in part, by surrendering the Warrant
Certificate with the annexed Form of Election to Purchase duly executed, in
exchange for the number of Common Shares equal to the product of (x) the number
of Common Shares as to which the Warrants are being exercised multiplied by (y)
a fraction, the numerator of which is the Current Market Price of the Common
Shares (as defined below) less the Exercise Price then in effect and the
denominator of which is the Current Market Price.
4.3 Current Market Price. The term "Current Market Price" shall mean (i) if
the Shares are traded in the over-the-counter market or on the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotations System ("NASDAQ"),
the average per Share closing bid prices on the 20 consecutive trading days
immediately preceding the date of exercise, as reported by NASDAQ or an
equivalent generally accepted reporting service, (ii) if the Shares are traded
on a national securities exchange, the average for the 20 consecutive trading
days immediately preceding the exercise date of the daily per Share closing
prices on the principal stock exchange on which the Shares are listed or (iii)
if there is no public market for the Shares, a good faith determination of the
value of the Shares by the Company's Board of Directors, as evidenced by a duly
adopted Board resolution to such effect, as the case may be. The closing price
referred to in clause (ii) above shall be the last reported sales price or, if
no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported
closing bid and asked prices, in either case on the national securities exchange
on which the Shares are then listed.
5. Issuance of Certificate. Upon the exercise of the Warrants, the issuance
of a certificate for Warrant Shares (or Other Securities) shall be made
forthwith (and in any event within five (5) business days thereafter) without
charge to the Holder thereof including, without limitation, any tax which may be
payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such
certificate shall (subject to the provisions of Sections 6 and 8 hereof) be
issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Holder;
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 certificate in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company
shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificate unless or until the
Holder 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 Certificate and the certificate representing the Warrant Shares
(or Other Securities) shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual
or facsimile signature of the then present Chairman or Vice Chairman of the
Board of Directors or President or any Vice President of the Company under its
corporate seal reproduced thereon, attested to by the manual or facsimile
signature of the then present Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the
Company. The Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date of execution by the
Company upon initial issuance, division, exchange, substitution or transfer.
6. Transfer of Warrants. The Holder, by his acceptance of the Warrant
Certificate, covenants and agrees that the Warrants are being acquired as an
investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof. The Warrants may be
sold, transferred, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, in whole or
in part, without restriction, subject to compliance with applicable securities
laws.
7. Exercise Price.
7.1 Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 9 hereof or as set forth in Paragraph 3 of the Letter Agreement, the
initial exercise price of each Warrant shall be the price set forth in Section 1
hereof per Warrant Shares issued thereunder. The adjusted exercise price shall
be the price which shall result from time to time from any and all adjustments
of the initial exercise price in accordance with the provisions of Section 9
hereof and Paragraph 3 of the Letter Agreement.
7.2 Exercise Price. The term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean the initial
exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending upon the context.
8. Registration Under the Securities Act of 1933. Subject to the
Registration Rights Agreement between the Company, the Holder and certain other
persons dated as of the date hereof, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares and any of
the Other Securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Upon
exercise, in whole or in part, of the Warrants, a certificate representing the
Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants, and any of the Other Securities issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants (collectively, the "Warrant Securities") shall
bear the following legend unless such Warrant Shares previously have been
registered under the Act in accordance with the terms hereof:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED ("ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (i) AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, (ii) TO THE EXTENT
APPLICABLE, RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT (OR ANY SIMILAR RULE UNDER THE ACT
RELATING TO THE DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES), OR (iii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL,
IF SUCH OPINION SHALL BE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER,
THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT IS AVAILABLE.
9. Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities. The Exercise
Price and, in some cases, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of the Warrants, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon
the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 9 and Paragraph 3 of
the Letter Agreement.
9.1 Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares and Common Share Dividend.
In case the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding Common Shares
into a greater number of Common Shares or declare a dividend upon its Common
Shares payable solely in Common Shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision or declaration shall be proportionately reduced, and
the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be
proportionately increased. Conversely, in case the outstanding Common Shares of
the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of Common Shares, the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants shall be proportionately reduced.
9.2 Dilutive Issuances. In the event that the Company shall sell or issue
at any time after the date of this Warrant and prior to its termination, Shares
(other than Excluded Shares, as defined in Section 9.2.5), or any other equity
securities or rights which are exercisable or convertible into Shares, at a
consideration per Share less than the Exercise Price then in effect, then the
Exercise Price shall be adjusted to a new Exercise Price (calculated to the
nearest cent) determined by dividing
(a) an amount equal to (i) the total number of Shares Outstanding (as
defined below and subject to adjustment in the manner set forth in Section
9.1) on the date of issuance of this Warrant multiplied by the Exercise
Price in effect on the date of issuance of this Warrant (subject, however,
to adjustment in the manner set forth in Section 9.1), plus (ii) the
aggregate of the amount of all consideration, if any, received by the
Company for the issuance or sale of Shares since the date of issuance of
this Warrant, by
(b) the total number of Shares Outstanding immediately after such
issuance or sale.
In no event shall any such adjustment be made pursuant to this Section 9.2 if it
would increase the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment, except as provided
in Sections 9.2.3 and 9.2.4. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant
to this Section 9.2, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares
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 the product thereof by the
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
9.2.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 9.2, the following
definitions shall apply:
(a) "Convertible Securities" shall mean any indebtedness or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Shares.
(b) "Options" shall mean any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for
or purchase Shares or Convertible Securities other than rights, warrants or
options to purchase Excluded Securities (as defined in Section 9.2.5).
(c) "Shares Outstanding" shall mean the aggregate of all Shares outstanding
and all Shares issuable upon exercise of all outstanding Options and conversion
of all outstanding Convertible Securities.
9.2.2 For the purposes of this Section 9.2, the following provisions shall
also be applicable:
9.2.2.1 Cash Consideration. In case of the issuance or sale of additional
Shares for cash, the consideration received by the Company therefor shall be
deemed to be the amount of cash received by the Company for such Shares (or, if
such Shares are offered by the Company for subscription, the subscription price,
or, if such Shares are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering
without a subscription offering, the public offering price), without deducting
therefrom any compensation or discount paid or allowed to underwriters or
dealers or others performing similar services or for any expenses incurred in
connection therewith.
9.2.2.2 Non-Cash Consideration. In case of the issuance (otherwise than
upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities) or sale of additional
Shares, Options or Convertible Securities for a consideration other than cash or
a consideration a part of which shall be other than cash, the fair value of such
consideration as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in the good
faith exercise of its business judgment (in a duly authorized resolution
certified by the secretary of the Company), irrespective of the accounting
treatment thereof, shall be deemed to be the value, for purposes of this Section
9, of the consideration other than cash received by the Company for such
securities.
9.2.2.3 Options and Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall in
any manner issue or grant any Options or any Convertible Securities, the total
maximum number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon
conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible
Securities at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or
exchangeable shall (as of the date of issue or grant of such Options or, in the
case of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities other than where the same
are issuable upon the exercise of Options, as of the date of such issue or sale)
be deemed to be issued and to be outstanding for the purpose of this Section 9.2
and to have been issued for the sum of the amount (if any) paid for such Options
or Convertible Securities and the amount (if any) payable upon the exercise of
such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities at
the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable;
provided that, subject to the provisions of Section 9.2.3, no further adjustment
of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of any such Shares
or Convertible Securities or upon the conversion or exchange of any such
Convertible Securities.
9.2.3 Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. In the event that the
purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in subsection 9.2.2.3, or
the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in subsection 9.2.2.3
are convertible into or exchangeable for Shares shall change at any time (other
than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution),
then, for purposes of any adjustment required by Section 9.2, the Exercise Price
in effect at the time of such event shall forthwith be readjusted to the
Exercise Price that would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase
price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the
time initially granted, issued or sold, provided that if such readjustment is an
increase in the Exercise Price, such readjustment shall not exceed the amount
(as adjusted by Sections 9.1 and 9.2) by which the Exercise Price was decreased
pursuant to Section 9.2 upon the issuance of the Option or Convertible Security.
In the event that the purchase price provided for in any such Option referred to
in subsection 9.2.2.3, or the additional consideration (if any) payable upon the
conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in subsection
9.2.2.3, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in
subsection 9.2.2.3 are convertible into or exchangeable for Shares, shall be
reduced at any time under or by reason of provisions with respect thereto
designed to protect against dilution, then in case of the delivery of Shares
upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange of any such
Convertible Security; the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall, upon
issuance of such Shares, be adjusted to such amount as would have obtained had
such Option or Convertible Security never been issued and had adjustments been
made only upon the issuance of the Shares delivered as aforesaid and for the
consideration actually received for such Option or Convertible Security and the
Shares, provided that if such readjustment is an increase in the Exercise Price,
such readjustment shall not exceed the amount (as adjusted by Sections 9.1 and
9.2) by which the Exercise Price was decreased pursuant to Section 9.2 upon the
issuance of the Option or Convertible Security.
9.2.4 Termination of Option or Conversion Rights. In the event of the
termination or expiration of any right to purchase Shares under any Option
granted after the date of this Warrant or of any right to convert or exchange
Convertible Securities issued after the date of this Warrant, the Exercise Price
shall, upon such termination, be readjusted to the
Exercise Price that would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or
termination had such Option or Convertible Security, to the extent outstanding
immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued, and the
Shares issuable thereunder shall no longer be deemed to be Shares Outstanding,
provided that if such readjustment is an increase in the Exercise Price, such
readjustment shall not exceed the amount (as adjusted by Sections 9.1 and 9.2)
by which the Exercise Price was decreased pursuant to Section 9.2 upon the
issuance of the Option or Convertible Security. The termination or expiration of
any right to purchase Shares under any Option granted prior to the date of this
Warrant or of any right to convert or exchange Convertible Securities issued
prior to the date of this Warrant shall not trigger any adjustment to the
Exercise Price, but the Shares issuable under such Options or Convertible
Securities shall no longer be counted in determining the number of Shares
Outstanding on the date of issuance of this Warrant for purposes of subsequent
calculations under this Section 9.2.
9.2.5 Excluded Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Exercise Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 9.2 by virtue of
the issuance and/or sale of Excluded Shares, which shall mean the following: (a)
Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants; (b) Shares, Options or
Convertible Securities to be issued and/or sold to employees, advisors
(including, without limitation, financial, technical and legal advisers),
directors, or officers of, or consultants to, the Company or any of its
subsidiaries pursuant to the Company's existing 1996 Stock Option Plan (which
has reserved for issuance 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock); (c) the issuance of
Shares, Options and/or Convertible Securities pursuant to Options and
Convertible Securities outstanding as of the date of this Warrant; (d) the
issuance of Shares, Options or Convertible Securities as a share dividend or
upon any subdivision or combination of Shares or Convertible Securities (for
which appropriate adjustments are to be made pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof);
(e) the issuance of up to 500,000 Shares (including those Shares issuable upon
the exercise or conversion of Options or Convertible Securities) in connection
with a strategic partnership or other business and/or product consolidation or
joint venture; and (f) the reduction of the exercise price of the Warrants
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. For all purposes of this Section 9.2,
all Shares of Excluded Shares shall be deemed to have been issued for an amount
of consideration per Share equal to the initial Exercise Price (subject to
adjustment in the manner set forth in Section 9.1). In addition, if the amount
of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 shall be less than two cents (24)
per Warrant Share no adjustment to the Exercise Price or to the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be made;
provided, however, that in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be
required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time
of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any
adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to at least two cents (24) per
Warrant Share.
9.3 Notice of Adjustment. Promptly after adjustment of the Exercise Price
or any increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof, by
first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holder of this Warrant at
the address of Holder as shown on the books of the Company. The notice shall be
signed by the Company's chief financial officer and shall state (i) the
effective date of the adjustment and the Exercise Price resulting from such
adjustment and (ii) the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Common
Shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting
forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which
such calculation is based.
9.4 Other Notices. If at any time:
(a) the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Common Shares;
(b) the Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common Shares payable
in securities (other than a dividend payable solely in Common Shares) or make
any special dividend or other distribution to the holders of its Common Shares;
(c) there shall be any consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation, or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to
another corporation; or
(d) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give, by certified or
registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address of the
Holder as shown on the books of the Company, (i) at least 15 days' prior written
notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record
shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for
determining rights to vote in respect of any such dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up; (ii) at least 10 days' prior written notice of the date on which the
books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for determining
rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger or sale, and (iii) in the case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up, at least 15 days' written notice of the date when the same shall
take place. Any notice given in accordance with clause (i) above shall also
specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or option rights, the
date on which the holders of Common Shares shall be entitled thereto. Any notice
given in accordance with clause (iii) above shall also specify the date on which
the holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares
for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up, as the case may be. If the Holder does not exercise this Warrant
prior to the occurrence of an event described above, except as provided in
Sections 9.1 and 9.5, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive the benefits
accruing to existing holders of the Common Shares in such event.
9.5 Changes in Common Shares. In case at any time the Company shall be a
party to any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger,
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or
recapitalization of the Common Shares) in which the previously outstanding
Common Shares shall be changed into or exchanged for different securities of the
Company or common stock or other securities of another corporation or interests
in a non-corporate entity or other property (including cash) or any combination
of
any of the foregoing (each such transaction being herein called the
"Transaction" and the date of consummation of the Transaction being herein
called the "Consummation Date"), then, as a condition of the consummation of the
Transaction, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made so that Holder, upon
the exercise hereof at any time on or after the Consummation Date, shall be
entitled to receive, and this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to
receive, in lieu of the Common Shares issuable upon such exercise prior to the
Consummation Date, the highest amount of securities or other property to which
the Holder would actually have been entitled as a holder of a Common Share upon
the consummation of the Transaction if Holder had exercised the Warrant
immediately prior thereto. The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall similarly
apply to successive Transactions.
10. Exchange and Replacement of Warrant Certificate. The Warrant
Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender thereof by the
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 Warrant Shares in such denominations as shall be
designated by the Holder 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 the 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 Warrants, if
mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like
tenor, in lieu thereof.
11. Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required
to issue certificates representing fractions of Common Shares 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 Common Shares or Other Securities.
12. Reservation of Securities. The Company shall at all times reserve and
keep available out of its authorized Common Shares, solely for the purpose of
issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, such number of Common Shares or
Other Securities 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 Common Shares or Other Securities issuable upon
such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and
not subject to the preemptive rights of any holder of Common Shares.
13. Notices to Holder. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.4, nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder by
virtue of his holding the Warrant the right to vote or to consent or to receive
notice as a holder of a Common Share in respect of any meetings of such holders
for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights
whatsoever as such a holder of the Company.
14. Notices.
All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be
in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made and sent when delivered,
or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested:
(a) If to the Holder, to the address of Holder as shown on the books
of the Company; or
(b) If to the Company, to the address set forth in Section 4 hereof

00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 10017/Attn. Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Esq.) or to such
other address as the Company may designate by notice to the Holder.
15. Supplements and Amendments. The Company and Holder may from time to
time supplement or amend this Agreement in order to cure any ambiguity, to
correct or supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or
inconsistent with any provisions herein, or to make any other provisions in
regard to matters or questions arising hereunder which the Company and Holder
may deem necessary or desirable.
16. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Holder and their
respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
17. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Warrant Certificate issued
hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of
New York and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York without giving effect to the rules of the State of New
York governing the conflicts of laws.
18. Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and may not be modified or amended except by a writing duly signed by the
party against whom enforcement of the modification or amendment is sought.
19. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be
invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect
any other provision of this Agreement.
20. Captions. The caption headings of the Sections of this Agreement are
for convenience of reference only and are not intended, nor should they be
construed as, a part of this Agreement and shall be given no substantive effect.
21. Benefits of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Company and Holder
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; and this
Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and Holder.
22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to
be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Warrant Agreement to be
duly executed, as of the day and year first above written.

issuable thereupon may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted. In such
event, the Company will, at the request of the Holder, issue a new Warrant
Certificate evidencing the adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number
and/or type of securities issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants; provided,
however, that the failure of the Company to issue such new Warrant Certificate
shall not in any way change, alter, or otherwise impair, the rights of the
Holder as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.
Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Warrant
Certificate at an office or agency of the Company, a new Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number
of Warrants shall be issued to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant
Certificate, subject to the limitations provided herein and in the Warrant
Agreement, without any charge except for any tax or other governmental charge
imposed in connection with such transfer.
Upon the exercise of less than all of the Warrants evidenced by this
Certificate, the Company shall forthwith issue to the Holder a new Warrant
Certificate representing such number of unexercised Warrants.
The Company may deem and treat the Holder as the absolute owner of this
Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof, and of any
distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
All terms used in this Warrant Certificate which are defined in the Warrant
Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Warrant Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant Certificate to be
duly executed.
