HEARX LTD.
WARRANT
Warrant No. __ Dated: May 9, 2000
HEARx Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies
that, for value received, _________________ or its registered assigns
("Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from
the Company up to a total of ______ shares of common stock, $.10 par value per
share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company (each such share, a "Warrant Share"
and all such shares, the "Warrant Shares") at an exercise price equal to $4.46
per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 8, the "Exercise
Price"), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and
through and including May 9, 2005 (the "Expiration Date"), and subject to the
following terms and conditions:
1. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this
Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the
"Warrant Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.
The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution
to the Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected
by notice to the contrary.
2. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
(a) Subject to compliance with the legend set forth on
the face hereof and the terms of this Section as to transfer, the Company shall
register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register,
upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly
completed and signed, to the Company at its address for notice set forth in
Section 11. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase
Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a
"New
2
Warrant"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued
to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this
Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.
The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the
acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder
of a Warrant.
(b) This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender
hereof by the Holder to the office of the Company at its address for notice set
forth in Section 11 for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate
the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased
hereunder. Any such New Warrant will be dated the date of such exchange.
3. Duration and Exercise of Warrants.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered
Holder on any business day before 8:00 P.M., New York City time, at any time and
from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration
Date. At 8:00 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of
this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no
value. Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company may not call or otherwise
redeem this Warrant without the prior written consent of the Holder.
(b) Upon delivery of a duly completed and signed Form
of Election to Purchase attached hereto to the Company at its address for notice
set forth in Section 11 and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the
number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in the
manner provided hereunder, all as specified by the Holder in the Form of
Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 3
business days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue or cause to
be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder
and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the
Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends except
(i) either in the event that a registration statement covering the resale of the
Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not
then effective or the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or (ii) if this Warrant shall have been
issued pursuant to a written agreement between the original Holder and the
Company, as required by such agreement. Any person so designated by the Holder
to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of
such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant. The Company
shall, upon request of the Holder, if available, use its reasonable efforts to
deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust
Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions.
A "Date of Exercise" means the date on which the Company
shall have received (i) the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or
attached to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii)
payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by
the holder hereof to be purchased.
2
3
(c) This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its
entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares.
4. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary
stamp taxes attributable to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant; 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
registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other
than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax
liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or
receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
5. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated,
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in
exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and
substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and
indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to it. Applicants for a New Warrant under
such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.
6. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that
it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to
issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the
number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the
exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other actual
contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account
the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7). The Company covenants that all
Warrant Shares that shall be so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance
and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms
hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
7. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment
from time to time as set forth in this Section 7. Upon each such adjustment of
the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 7, the Holder shall thereafter prior
to the Expiration Date 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 issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment.
(a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) shall pay a stock dividend (except scheduled dividends paid on
outstanding preferred stock as of the date hereof which contain a stated
dividend rate) or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of
its Common Stock or on any other class of capital stock payable in shares of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares, or (iii) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction
of which the numerator shall be the
3
4
number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding
before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding after such event.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination, and shall apply to
successive subdivisions and combinations.
(b) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock
or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted
into other securities, cash or property, then the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to exercise this Warrant only into the shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of
Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the Holder
shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or
property equal to the amount of Warrant Shares such Holder would have been
entitled to had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such
reclassification or share exchange. The terms of any such reclassification or
share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder
the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section 7(b)
upon any exercise following any such reclassification or share exchange.
(c) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to holders
of this Warrant) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in
Sections 7(a), (b) and (d) or to any issuances in accordance with the Rights
Agreement, dated December 14, 1999, between the Company and the Rights Agent
named therein), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date
fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by
a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Exercise Price determined as of
the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such
Exercise Price on such record date less the then fair market value at such
record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so
distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by
the Company's independent certified public accountants that regularly examines
the financial statements of the Company (an "Appraiser").
(d) If the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as
applicable with respect to Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below), at any
time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or
rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt that is convertible into
or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents"),
entitling any person to acquire shares of Common Stock at a price per share less
than the Exercise Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalent so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price
adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices
or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights issued in connection with
such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price less
than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less
than the Exercise Price), then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of
4
5
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the issuance of such Common Stock or such Common Stock Equivalents plus
the number of shares of Common Stock which the offering price for such shares of
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents would purchase at the Exercise Price,
and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares
of Common Stock so issued or issuable, provided, that for purposes hereof, all
shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed outstanding immediately after the
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents. Such adjustment shall be made
whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. However, upon
the expiration of any Common Stock Equivalents the issuance of which resulted in
an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section, if any such Common
Stock Equivalents shall expire and shall not have been exercised, the Exercise
Price shall immediately upon such expiration be recomputed and effective
immediately upon such expiration be increased to the price which it would have
been (but reflecting any other adjustments in the Exercise Price made pursuant
to the provisions of this Section after the issuance of such Common Stock
Equivalents) had the adjustment of the Exercise Price made upon the issuance of
such Common Stock Equivalents been made on the basis of offering for
subscription or purchase only that number of shares of the Common Stock actually
purchased upon the exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents actually exercised.
The foregoing shall not apply to any (i) issuances in accordance with the Rights
Agreement, dated December 14, 1999, between the Company and the Rights Agent
named therein, (ii) the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise or conversion
of the Company's options, warrants or other convertible securities specified in
Schedule 2.1(c) to the Purchase Agreement as outstanding as of the date of the
issuance of this Warrant, or (iii) the grant of options or warrants, or the
issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of such options and warrants, or
otherwise under any duly authorized Company stock option, restricted stock plan
or stock purchase plan for the benefit of the Company's employees.
(e) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company of more than
one-half of the assets of the Company (on a book value basis) in one or a series
of related transactions, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise
this Warrant for the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property
receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such
merger, consolidation or sale, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event
or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and
property as the Common Stock for which this Warrant could have been exercised
immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been
entitled. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include such
terms so as continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities,
cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption
following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such
events.
(f) For the purposes of this Section 7, the following
clauses shall also be applicable:
(i) Record Date. In case the Company shall take
a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them
(A) to receive a dividend or other
5
6
distribution payable in Common Stock or in securities convertible or
exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, or (B) to subscribe for or purchase
Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common
Stock, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale
of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the
declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the
date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may
be.
(ii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or
held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such
shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(g) All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made
to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
(h) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to
Section 7(c) above, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the
Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall
be a nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case the adjustment shall
be equal to the average of the adjustments recommended by each of the Appraiser
and such appraiser. The Holder shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to the
Company, a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and
setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Such
adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned
above.
(i) If:
(i) the Company shall declare a dividend
(or any other distribution) on its
Common Stock; or
(ii) the Company shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a
redemption of its Common Stock; or
(iii) the Company shall authorize the
granting to all holders of the
Common Stock rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any shares
of capital stock of any class or of
any rights; or
(iv) the approval of any stockholders of
the Company shall be required in
connection with any reclassification
of the Common Stock, any
consolidation or merger to which the
Company is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company, or any
compulsory share exchange whereby the
Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property; or
6
7
(v) the Company shall authorize the
voluntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the affairs of the
Company,
then the Company shall cause to be mailed to each Holder at their last addresses
as they shall appear upon the Warrant Register, at least 20 calendar days prior
to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to
be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be
entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to
be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of
record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation
or winding up; provided, however, that the failure to mail such notice or any
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be specified in such notice.
8. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the
Exercise Price in one of the following manners:
(a) Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately
available funds; or
(b) Cashless Exercise. In the event that a registration
statement covering the resale by the Holders of the Warrant Shares is not then
effective or the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act, the
Holder may surrender this Warrant to the Company together with a notice of
cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the
number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
X = Y [ (A-B)/A]
where:
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued
to the Holder.
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to
which this Warrant is being exercised.
A = the average of the closing prices of the Common
Stock on the AMEX (as reported by Bloomberg, L.P.
or the successor to its function of reporting share
prices) for the five trading days immediately prior
to (but not including) the Date of Exercise.
B = the Exercise Price.
7
8
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless
exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and
the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been
commenced, on the issue date.
9. Certain Exercise Restrictions.
(a) A Holder may not exercise this Warrant to the
extent such exercise would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate
thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the
rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.999% of the then issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon such exercise
and held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will
not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock
it may hold at the time of an exercise hereunder, unless the exercise at issue
would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.999% of
the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares
which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the
Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the
restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular exercise
hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation
contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of this
Warrant is exercisable shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder.
If the Holder has delivered a Form of Election to Purchase for a number of
Warrant Shares that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its
affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the
permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and
shall honor the exercise for the maximum portion of this Warrant permitted to be
exercised on such Date of Exercise in accordance with the periods described
herein and, at the option of the Holder, either keep the portion of the Warrant
tendered for exercise in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future
exercises or return such excess portion of the Warrant to the Holder. The
provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and
not to any other Holder) upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company.
Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.
(b) A Holder may not exercise this Warrant to the
extent such exercise would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate
thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of
the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares
issuable upon such exercise and held by such Holder after application of this
Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the
number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of an exercise
hereunder, unless the exercise at issue would result in the issuance of shares
of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common
Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the
Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and
obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will
limit any particular exercise hereunder and to the extent that the Holder
determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the
determination of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the
responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Form
of Election to
8
9
Purchase for a number of Warrant Shares that, without regard to any other shares
that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the
issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify
the Holder of this fact and shall honor the exercise for the maximum portion of
this Warrant permitted to be exercised on such Date of Exercise in accordance
with the periods described herein and, at the option of the Holder, either keep
the portion of the Warrant tendered for exercise in excess of the permitted
amount hereunder for future exercises or return such excess portion of the
Warrant to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder
(but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 61 days
prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such
waiver.
10. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to
issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this
Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number
of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any
fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be
issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an amount in
cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
11. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or
deliveries hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective
on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication
is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this
Section prior to 8:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a business day, (ii) the
business day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is
delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this
Section later than 8:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any date and earlier than
11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, (iii) the business day following
the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service,
or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be
given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to the Company, to
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or facsimile number (561)
688-8893, attention Chairman, or (ii) if to the Holder, to the Holder at the
address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or such other
address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in
accordance with this Section.
12. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent
under this Warrant. Upon ten days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint
a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant
agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to
which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.
9
10
13. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This
Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and
their successors and assigns.
(b) Subject to Section 13(a), above, nothing in this
Warrant shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than the
Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause under this
Warrant. This Warrant shall inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of the
Company and the Holder.
(c) The corporate laws of the State of Delaware shall
govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its
stockholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The Company
and the Holder hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan,
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Holder
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by receiving a copy thereof
sent to the Company at the address in effect for notices to it under this
instrument and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
(d) The headings herein are for convenience only, do
not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect
any of the provisions hereof.
(e) In case any one or more of the provisions of this
Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good
faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a
commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall
incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.
