STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, RGC International Investors,
LDC or its registered assigns, is entitled to purchase from Global Media
Corp., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), at any time or from time to time
during the period specified in Paragraph 2 hereof, Six Hundred Eighty
Thousand (680,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's
Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at an exercise
price of $8.4375 per share (the "Exercise Price"). The term "Warrant
Shares," as used herein, refers to the shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder. The Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price are subject to
adjustment as provided in Paragraph 4 hereof. The term Warrants means this
Warrant and the other warrants issued pursuant to that certain Securities
Purchase Agreement, dated May 6, 1999, by and among the Company and the
Buyers listed on the execution page
thereof (the "Securities Purchase Agreement").
This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions, and conditions:
1. MANNER OF EXERCISE; ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES; PAYMENT FOR SHARES.
Subject to the provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the holder
hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant, together with a
completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto (the "Exercise
Agreement"), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at
the Company's principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), and upon (i)
payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire
transfer for the account of the Company of the Exercise Price for the Warrant
Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement or (ii) if the resale of the Warrant
Shares by the holder is not then registered pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), delivery to the Company of a written notice of an election to
effect a "Cashless Exercise" (as defined in Section 11(c) below) for the Warrant
Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased
shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or such holder's designee, as
the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on
which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed Exercise Agreement
shall have been delivered, and payment shall have been made for such shares (or
any election to effect a Cashless Exercise) as set forth above. Certificates
for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares
specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof
within a reasonable time, not exceeding two (2) business days, after this
Warrant shall have been so exercised. The certificates so delivered shall be in
such denominations as may be requested by the holder hereof and shall be
registered in the name of such holder or such other name as shall be designated
by such holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then,
unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time
of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder a new Warrant
representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not
then have been exercised.
Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, in no event
shall the Holder of this Warrant be entitled to exercise a number of Warrants
(or portions thereof) in excess of the number of Warrants (or portions thereof)
upon exercise of which the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common
Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the
unexercised Warrants and the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other
securities of the Company (including shares of Series [A] Preferred Stock (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the Investment Options (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein) and (ii)
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (or
portions thereof) with respect to which the determination described herein is
being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its
affiliates of more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For
purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder, except as
otherwise provided in clause (i) hereof.
2. PERIOD OF EXERCISE. This Warrant is exercisable at any time or from
time to time on or after the date on which this Warrant is issued and delivered
pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Issue Date")
and before 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the
Issue Date (the "Exercise Period").
3. CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company hereby covenants and
agrees as follows:
(a) SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID. All Warrant Shares will, upon issuance
in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the
issue thereof.
(b) RESERVATION OF SHARES. During the Exercise Period, the Company
shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance
upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to
provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
(c) LISTING. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant upon each national
securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of
Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon
exercise of this Warrant) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of
Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares of Common Stock from
time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall
so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as
the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital
stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long
as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities
exchange or automated quotation system.
(d) CERTAIN ACTIONS PROHIBITED. The Company will not, by amendment
of its charter 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 to be
observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the
taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this
Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant
against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of
this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i)
will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon
the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii)
will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(e) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Warrant will be binding upon any
entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation, or acquisition of all
or substantially all the Company's assets.
4. ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS. During the Exercise Period, the Exercise
Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as provided in this Paragraph 4.
In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein
results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded up to the
nearest cent.
(a) ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES UPON ISSUANCE
OF COMMON STOCK. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 4(c) and 4(e)
hereof, if and whenever on or after the date of Issue Date, the Company issues
or sells, or in accordance with Paragraph 4(b) hereof is deemed to have issued
or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration
per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or
underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the
Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date of issuance (or deemed
issuance) of such Common Stock (a "Dilutive Issuance"), then immediately upon
the Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price will be reduced to a price determined
by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive
Issuance by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is an amount equal to the sum
of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding immediately
prior to the Dilutive Issuance, plus (y) the quotient of the aggregate
consideration, calculated as set forth in Paragraph 4(b) hereof, received by the
Company upon such Dilutive Issuance divided by the Market Price in effect
immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance, and (ii) the denominator of which is
the total number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined below)
immediately after the Dilutive Issuance.
(b) EFFECT ON EXERCISE PRICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Paragraph 4(a) hereof, the
following will be applicable:
(i) ISSUANCE OF RIGHTS OR OPTIONS. If the Company in any
manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not
immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or
other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock
("Convertible Securities") (such warrants, rights and options to purchase
Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as
"Options") and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon
the exercise of such Options is less than the Market Price on the date of
issuance or grant of such Options, then the maximum total number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options will, as of the
date of the issuance or grant of such Options, be deemed to be outstanding
and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per share for which Common
Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options" is determined by
dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company
as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the
minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such
Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the
exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time
such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii)
the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise
of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if
applicable). No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon
the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or
upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon
exercise of such Options.
(ii) ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. If the Company in any
manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately
convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of
Options) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such
conversion or exchange is less than the Market Price on the date of issuance of
such Convertible Securities, then the maximum total number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such Convertible Securities,
be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for
such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price
per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange"
is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable
by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible
Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if
any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time
such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii)
the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion
or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the
Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(iii) CHANGE IN OPTION PRICE OR CONVERSION RATE. If there is
a change at any time in (i) the amount of additional consideration payable to
the Company upon the exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange
of any Convertible Securities; or (iii) the rate at which any Convertible
Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than
under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the
Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to the
Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options
or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed
additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at
the time initially granted, issued or sold.
(iv) TREATMENT OF EXPIRED OPTIONS AND UNEXERCISED CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of any Option or upon conversion or exchange of any
Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such
Option or to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall
have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect will be
readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time
of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities,
to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination
(other than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued
upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.
(v) CALCULATION OF CONSIDERATION RECEIVED. If any Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for
cash, the consideration received therefor for purposes of this Warrant will
be the amount received by the Company therefor, before deduction of
reasonable commissions, underwriting discounts or allowances or other
reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Company in connection with such
issuance, grant or sale. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which shall
be other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received
by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where
such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of
consideration received by the Company will be the Market Price thereof as of
the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued in connection with any acquisition, merger or
consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount
of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion
of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is
attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the
case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or
securities will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
(vi) EXCEPTIONS TO ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. No adjustment
to the Exercise Price will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants,
options or convertible securities granted, issued and outstanding on the date of
issuance of this Warrant; (ii) upon the grant or exercise of any stock or
options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee benefit
plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as
the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the
independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of
the members of a committee of independent directors established for such
purpose; (iii) upon the exercise of the Warrants; (iv) the issuance of shares of
Common Stock as contemplated in Schedule 4(d) of the Securities Purchase
Agreement; and (v) the issuance of warrants (and the issuance of Common Stock
upon the exercise thereof) to Broadmark Capital Corporation in connection with
the Securities Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
(c) SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company at
any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock
acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of
record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at
any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization,
reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder
into a smaller number of shares,
then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately
increased.
(d) ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 4, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted
by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
(e) CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE. In case of any consolidation of
the Company with, or merger of the Company into any other corporation, or in
case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the
Company, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or
conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the holder of this Warrant
will have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu
of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be
issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of
Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of
this Warrant had such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance not taken
place. In any such case, the Company will make appropriate provision to insure
that the provisions of this Paragraph 4 hereof will thereafter be applicable as
nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock or securities thereafter
deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will not effect any
consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation
thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) assumes by
written instrument the obligations under this Paragraph 4 and the obligations to
deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets
as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to
acquire.
(f) DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. In case the Company shall declare or
make any distribution of its assets (including cash) to holders of Common Stock
as a partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise,
then, after the date of record for determining stockholders entitled to such
distribution, but prior to the date of distribution, the holder of this Warrant
shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all
of the shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to receive the amount of such
assets which would have been payable to the holder had such holder been the
holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to such distribution.
(g) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Upon the occurrence of any event which
requires any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each such case, the
Company shall give notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, which notice
shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase
or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon
exercise, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the
facts
upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified by
the chief financial officer of the Company.
(h) MINIMUM ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. No adjustment of the
Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price
in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any
such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time
and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any
adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such
Exercise Price.
(i) NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Common Stock are
to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash
adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be issuable
in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price of a share of Common
Stock on the date of such exercise.
(j) OTHER NOTICES. In case at any time:
(i) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common
Stock payable in shares of stock of any class or make any other distribution
(including dividends or distributions payable in cash out of retained
earnings) to the holders of the Common Stock;
(ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the
holders of the Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other
rights;
(iii) there shall be any capital reorganization of the
Company, or reclassification of the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger
of the Company with or into, or sale of all or substantially all its assets
to, another corporation or entity; or
(iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the holder of this Warrant
(a) notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record
shall be taken for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive
any such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or for determining the
holders of Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up and (b) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, notice of
the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable approximation thereof by the
Company) when the same shall take place. Such notice shall also specify the
date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such
dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or to exchange their Common Stock
for stock or other securities or property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or
winding-up, as the case may be. Such
notice shall be given at least 30 days prior to the record date or the date
on which the Company's books are closed in respect thereto. Failure to give
any such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.
(k) CERTAIN EVENTS. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by
the adjustment provisions of this Paragraph 4 but not expressly provided for by
such provisions, the Company will give notice of such event as provided in
Paragraph 4(g) hereof, and the Company's Board of Directors will make an
appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common
Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant so that the rights of the Holder
shall be neither enhanced nor diminished by such event.
(l) CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.
(i) "COMMON STOCK DEEMED OUTSTANDING" shall mean the number of
shares of Common Stock actually outstanding (not including shares of Common
Stock held in the treasury of the Company), plus (x) pursuant to Paragraph
4(b)(i) hereof, the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of Options, as of the date of such issuance or grant of such
Options, if any, and (y) pursuant to Paragraph 4(b)(ii) hereof, the maximum
total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of
Convertible Securities, as of the date of issuance of such Convertible
Securities, if any.
(ii) "MARKET PRICE," as of any date, (i) means the average of
the last reported sale prices for the shares of Common Stock on the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTC BB") for the five (5) trading days
immediately preceding such date as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets or
an equivalent reliable reporting service mutually acceptable to and hereafter
designated by the holder of this Warrant and the Company ("Bloomberg"), or
(ii) if the OTC BB is not the principal trading market for the shares of
Common Stock, the average of the last reported sale prices on the principal
trading market for the Common Stock during the same period as reported by
Bloomberg, or (iii) if market value cannot be calculated as of such date on
any of the foregoing bases, the Market Price shall be the fair market value
as reasonably determined in good faith by (a) the Board of Directors of the
Corporation or, at the option of a majority-in-interest of the holders of the
outstanding Warrants by (b) an independent investment bank of nationally
recognized standing in the valuation of businesses similar to the business of
the corporation. The manner of determining the Market Price of the Common
Stock set forth in the foregoing definition shall apply with respect to any
other security in respect of which a determination as to market value must be
made hereunder.
(iii) "COMMON STOCK," for purposes of this Paragraph 4,
includes the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and any additional
class of stock of the Company having no preference as to dividends or
distributions on liquidation, provided that the shares purchasable pursuant
to this Warrant shall include only shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001
per share, in respect of which this Warrant is exercisable, or shares
resulting from any subdivision or combination of such Common Stock, or in the
case of any reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale of the character referred to in
Paragraph 4(e) hereof, the stock or other securities or property provided for in
such Paragraph.
5. ISSUE TAX. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder of this
Warrant or such shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof,
provided 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
certificate in a name other than the holder of this Warrant.
6. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS A SHAREHOLDER. This Warrant shall not
entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder
of the Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative
action by the holder hereof to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration
herein of the rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any
liability of such holder for the Exercise Price or as a shareholder of the
Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.
7. TRANSFER, EXCHANGE, AND REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT.
(a) RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. This Warrant and the rights granted to
the holder hereof are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this
Warrant, together with a properly executed assignment in the form attached
hereto, at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Paragraph 7(e)
below, provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to
the conditions set forth in Paragraph 7(f) hereof and to the applicable
provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Until due presentment for
registration of transfer on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the
registered holder hereof as the owner and holder hereof for all purposes, and
the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the registration
rights described in Paragraph 8 are assignable only in accordance with the
provisions of that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 6,
1999, by and among the Company and the other signatories thereto (the
"Registration Rights Agreement").
(b) WARRANT EXCHANGEABLE FOR DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS. This Warrant
is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the holder hereof at the office or
agency of the Company referred to in Paragraph 7(e) below, for new Warrants of
like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of
shares of Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder, each of such new
Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as shall be
designated by the holder hereof at the time of such surrender.
(c) REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon
delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to
the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
(d) CANCELLATION; PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Upon the surrender of this
Warrant in connection with any transfer, exchange, or replacement as provided in
this Paragraph 7, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company. The
Company shall pay all taxes (other than securities transfer taxes) and all other
expenses (other than legal expenses, if any, incurred by the Holder or
transferees) and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution,
and delivery of Warrants pursuant to this Paragraph 7.
(e) REGISTER. The Company shall maintain, at its principal executive
offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by
notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company
shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has
been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee and each prior
owner of this Warrant.
(f) EXERCISE OR TRANSFER WITHOUT REGISTRATION. If, at the time of
the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or
exchange of this Warrant, this Warrant (or, in the case of any exercise, the
Warrant Shares issuable hereunder), shall not be registered under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, transfer, or exchange, (i)
that the holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to
the Company a written opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel are
acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such exercise, transfer, or
exchange may be made without registration under said Act and under applicable
state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee execute
and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable
to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an "accredited investor" as
defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act; provided that no
such opinion, letter or status as an "accredited investor" shall be required in
connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The
first holder of this Warrant, by taking and holding the same, represents to the
Company that such holder is acquiring this Warrant for investment and not with a
view to the distribution thereof.
8. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The initial holder of this Warrant (and certain
assignees thereof) is entitled to the benefit of such registration rights in
respect of the Warrant Shares as are set forth in Section 2 of the Registration
Rights Agreement.

(b) DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of the several
paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for purposes of reference only, and
shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
(c) CASHLESS EXERCISE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Warrant, if the resale of the Warrant Shares by the holder is

Securities Act, this Warrant may be exercised by presentation and surrender of
this Warrant to the Company at its principal executive offices with a written
notice of the holder's intention to effect a cashless exercise, including a
calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
exercise in accordance with the
terms hereof (a "Cashless Exercise"). In the event of a Cashless Exercise,
in lieu of paying the Exercise Price in cash, the holder shall surrender this
Warrant for that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying
the number of Warrant Shares to which it would otherwise be entitled by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between the then
current Market Price per share of the Common Stock and the Exercise Price,
and the denominator of which shall be the then current Market Price per share
of Common Stock.
