Convertible Security, that the quotient resulting from dividing the Market Price
as of such date of such Convertible Security by the number of shares issuable as

liability partnership), a corporation, an association, a joint stock company, a
limited liability company, a trust, a joint venture, an unincorporated

ARTICLE II
ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS; RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES
2.1 ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS TO INITIAL HOLDERS; WARRANT AGREEMENT.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Company has issued and delivered Warrants, dated as of the date hereof, to the
Initial Holders in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement. The
provisions of this Agreement shall apply to all Warrants, and each Holder that
is not a party to this Agreement, by its acceptance of a Warrant, agrees to be
bound by the applicable provisions hereof.
2.2 RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES.
The Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserve and keep
available, free from preemptive or similar rights, for the purpose of enabling
it to satisfy any obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon the exercise or
exchange of each Warrant, the number of authorized but unissued Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise or exchange of all outstanding Warrants. The Company
shall promptly take all actions necessary to ensure that Warrant Shares shall be
duly authorized and, when issued upon exercise or exchange of any Warrant in
accordance with the terms hereof, shall be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, free and clear of all liens,
6
10
security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions (except to
the extent of any applicable provisions of this Agreement or any Other Equity
Document) and free and clear of all preemptive or similar rights.
ARTICLE III
CERTAIN ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
3.1 FORM OF WARRANT; REGISTER.
(a) Form. Each Warrant issued hereunder shall be in the form of
Exhibit A (each, a "WARRANT") and shall be executed on behalf of the Company by
its Chairman, its President or its Chief Executive Officer and by its Chief
Financial Officer, its Treasurer or its Assistant Treasurer. Each Warrant shall
bear the legend(s) appearing on the first page of such form, except that a
Warrant need not bear any such legend from and after such time as all the
restrictions to which such legend relates no longer apply. Any Warrant may also
bear any other legend applicable thereto. Upon initial issuance, each Warrant
shall be dated as of the date of signature thereof by the Company. Irrespective
of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number or kind of shares or
other securities or property issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, any
Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may, as a matter of form, continue to
express the same Exercise Price and the same number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants as were stated in the Warrants
initially issued pursuant the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company,
however, may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of
Warrant that it may deem appropriate to give effect to such adjustments and that
does not affect the substance of the Warrant, and any Warrant thereafter issued,
whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may
be in the form as so changed.
(b) Register. Each Warrant issued, exchanged or transferred
hereunder shall be registered in a warrant register (the "WARRANT REGISTER").
The Warrant Register shall set forth the number of each Warrant, the name and
address of the Holder thereof and the original number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise thereof. The Warrant Register will be maintained
by the Company and will be available for inspection by any Holder at the
principal office of the Company or such other location as the Company may
designate to the Holders in the manner set forth in Section 8.1. The Company
shall be entitled to treat the Holder of any Warrant as the owner in fact
thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or
other claim to or interest in such Warrant on the part of any other Person.
3.2 EXCHANGE OF WARRANTS FOR WARRANTS.
(a) Exchange. The Holder may exchange any Warrant or Warrants
issued hereunder for another Warrant or Warrants of like kind and tenor
representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of Warrant
Shares that could be purchased pursuant to the Warrant or Warrants being so
exchanged. In order to effect an exchange permitted by this Section 3.2, the
Holder shall deliver to the Company such Warrant or Warrants accompanied by a
written request signed by the Holder thereof specifying the number and
denominations of Warrants to be issued in such exchange and subject to the
transfer restrictions contained in the Stockholders' Agreement, the names in
which such Warrants are to be issued. As promptly as
7
11
practicable but in any event within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such a
request, the Company shall, without charge, issue, register and deliver to the
Holder thereof each Warrant to be issued in such exchange.
(b) Replacement. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company (an affidavit of the Holder being satisfactory) of the ownership
and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant, and in the case
of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Company (if the Holder is a financial institution or other
institutional investor, its own indemnity agreement being satisfactory) or, in
the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant, the Company
shall, without charge, issue, register and deliver in lieu of such Warrant a new
Warrant of like kind representing the same rights represented by, and dated the
date of, such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant. Any such new Warrant
shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or
not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any
time enforceable by any Person.
(c) Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses and taxes (other
than any applicable income or similar taxes payable by a Holder of a Warrant)
attributable to an exchange or replacement of a Warrant pursuant to this Section
3.2; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax
that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of any
Warrant in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant being exchanged.
3.3 MECHANICS OF TRANSFER OF WARRANTS.
Subject to the further provisions of this Agreement and the Other Equity
Documents, each Warrant may be transferred, in whole or in part, to an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7)
under the Securities Act (or any entity in which all of the equity owners are
accredited investors of such types) by the Holder thereof by delivering to the
Company such Warrant accompanied by a properly completed, duly executed,
Assignment Form. As promptly as practicable but in any event within five (5)
Business Days of receipt of such Assignment Form, the Company shall, without
charge, issue, register and deliver to the Holder thereof a new Warrant or
Warrants of like kind and tenor representing in the aggregate the right to
purchase the same number of Warrant Shares that could be purchased pursuant to
the Warrant being transferred. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, the
original power of attorney, duly approved, or a copy thereof, duly certified,
shall be deposited and remain with the Company. In case of transfer by
executors, administrators, guardians or other legal representatives, duly
authenticated evidence of their authority shall be produced and may be required
to be deposited and remain with the Company in its discretion. The Company shall
not be liable for complying with a request by a fiduciary or nominee of a
fiduciary to register a transfer of any Warrant which is registered in the name
of such fiduciary or nominee, unless made with the actual knowledge that such
fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such
registration of transfer, or with knowledge of such facts that the Company's
participation therein amounts to bad faith.
8
12
3.4 STOCKHOLDERS' AGREEMENT.
Any Person to whom a Warrant is transferred in accordance with this
Article III shall, by acceptance of the Warrant, be deemed to be a party to the
Stockholders' Agreement and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits
thereunder.
ARTICLE IV
EXERCISE OF WARRANT; EXCHANGE FOR WARRANT SHARES
4.1 EXERCISE OF WARRANTS; EXPIRATION.
(a) On any Business Day on or prior to the Expiration Time, a
Holder may exercise a Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company
such Warrant accompanied by a properly completed Exercise Form and a check or
wire transfer in an aggregate amount equal to the product obtained by
multiplying (a) the Exercise Price times (b) the number of Warrant Shares being
purchased. Any partial exercise of a Warrant shall be for a whole number of
Warrant Shares only.
(b) A Warrant shall terminate and become void as of the earlier of
(i) the Expiration Time or (ii) the date such Warrant is exercised. The Company
shall give notice not less than 90, and not more than 120, days prior to the
Expiration Time to the Holders of all then outstanding Warrants to the effect
that the Warrants will terminate and become void as of the Expiration Time;
provided, however, that if the Company fails to give notice as provided in this
Section 4.1(b), the Warrants will nevertheless expire and become void at the
Expiration Time.
4.2 EXCHANGE FOR WARRANT SHARES.
On any Business Day on or prior to the Expiration Time, a Holder may
exchange a Warrant, in whole or in part, for Warrant Shares by delivering to the
Company such Warrant accompanied by a properly completed Exchange Form. The
number of shares of Common Stock to be received by a Holder upon such exchange
shall be equal to (a) the number of Warrant Shares allocable to the portion of
the Warrant being exchanged (the "EXCHANGE NUMBER"), as specified by such Holder
in the Exchange Form less (b) the number of shares equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Exercise
Price times (B) the Exchange Number by (ii) the Market Price as of the Delivery
Date (as defined below). The Exchange Number need not be a whole number, but in
the case of any partial exchange of a Warrant under this Section 4.2, the
Exchange Number shall be determined so that the number of Warrant Shares to be
issued in such exchange shall be a whole number only. The Company acknowledges
that the provisions of this Section 4.2 are intended, in part, to ensure that a
full or partial exchange of a Warrant pursuant to this Section 4.2 will qualify
as a conversion, within the meaning of paragraph (d)(3)(iii) of Rule 144 under
the Securities Act. At the request of any Holder, the Company will accept
reasonable modifications to the exchange procedures provided for in this Section
4.2 in order to accomplish such intent.
9
13
4.3 ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK.
(a) Issuance of Common Stock. As promptly as practicable but in
any event within seven (7) days (or if the Common Stock is Publicly Traded at
such time, within three (3) days or such other time period as is customary in
the market for Publicly Traded securities) following the delivery date (the
"DELIVERY DATE") of (i) an Exercise Form or Exchange Form in accordance with
Section 4.1 or 4.2, (ii) the related Warrant and (iii) any required payment of
the Exercise Price, the Company shall, without charge, issue, register and
deliver one or more stock certificates representing the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder of such Warrant is entitled and, upon
compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant Agreement, the Other
Equity Documents and the Securities Purchase Agreement, transfer to such Holder
appropriate evidence of ownership of other securities or property (including any
cash) to which such Holder is entitled, in such denominations, and registered or
otherwise placed in, or payable to the order of, such name or names, as may be
directed in writing by such Holder. The Company shall deliver such stock
certificates, evidence of ownership and any other securities or property
(including any cash) to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same,
together with an amount in cash in lieu of any fraction of a share (or
fractional interest in any other security), as hereinafter provided. If the
Warrant Shares are Publicly Traded, then at the request of such Holder, the
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Warrant Shares to such Holder through the Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission System of DTC.
(b) Partial Exercise or Exchange. If a Holder shall exercise or
exchange a Warrant for less than all of the Warrant Shares that could be
purchased or received thereunder, the Company shall issue, register and deliver
to the Holder, as promptly as practicable but in any event within seven (7) days
(or if the Common Stock is Publicly Traded at such time, within three (3) days
or such other time period as is customary in the market for Publicly Traded
securities) following the Delivery Date, a new Warrant evidencing the right to
purchase the remaining Warrant Shares. In the case of an exchange pursuant to
Section 4.2, the number of remaining Warrant Shares shall be the original number
of Warrant Shares subject to the Warrant so exchanged reduced by the Exchange
Number. Each Warrant surrendered pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2 shall be
canceled.
(c) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue
fractional shares of Common Stock or fractional units of any other security upon
the exercise or exchange of a Warrant. If any fraction of a share of Common
Stock or fractional unit of any other security would be issuable on the exercise
or exchange of any Warrant, the Company may, in lieu of issuing such fractional
share or unit, pay to such Holder for any such fraction an amount in cash equal
to the product obtained by multiplying (i) such fraction times (ii) the Market
Price for the Common Stock or for a unit of such other security, as the case may
be, as of the Delivery Date.
(d) Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses and taxes (other
than any applicable income or similar taxes payable by a Holder of a Warrant)
attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise or
exchange of a Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance of any Warrant or any certificate for, or any other evidence of
10
14
ownership of, Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder of the
Warrant being exercised or exchanged.
(e) Record Ownership. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
the Person in whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock or other
evidence of ownership of any other security is issued upon exercise or exchange
of a Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of
record of such shares or other security on the Delivery Date, irrespective of
the date of delivery of such certificate or other evidence of ownership
(subject, in the case of any exercise to which Section 4.3(g) applies, to the
consummation of a transaction upon which such exercise is conditioned),
notwithstanding that the transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or
that such certificates or other evidence of ownership shall not then actually
have been delivered to such Person.
(f) Approval; Listings. If any securities constituting Warrant
Shares or any portion thereof to be issued upon exercise or exchange of a
Warrant require registration or approval under any Applicable Law or require
listing on any national securities exchange or quotation system before such
securities may be so issued, the Company will use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such securities to be registered, or approved, as applicable;
provided, however, that this Section 4.3(f) shall not obligate the Company to
register such securities under the Securities Act or qualify them under state
securities or blue sky laws. The Company shall from time to time promptly take
all action that may be necessary so that any such securities, immediately upon
their issuance upon exercise or exchange of Warrants, will be listed on all the
principal securities exchanges, quotation systems and markets within the United
States of America, if any, on which other securities of the Company of the same
class or type are then listed or quoted. The Company may suspend the exercise of
any Warrant so affected for the period during which such registration, approval
or listing is required but not in effect (but the Expiration Time shall be
equitably extended so as to prevent the expiration of any Warrant during a
suspension period). Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant Agreement to the
contrary, in no event shall a Holder be entitled to exercise a Warrant unless
(i) a registration statement filed under the Securities Act in respect of the
issuance of the Warrant Shares is then effective or (ii) the exercise of such
Warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
such securities are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under the
applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions in which such
Holders reside, such exemption to be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to the
extent such an opinion would be required under Section 6.2 of the Securities
Purchase Agreement in respect of a transfer to the Person to whom the Warrant
Shares are to be issued.
(g) Conditional Exercise or Exchange. Any Exercise Form or
Exchange Form delivered under Section 4.1 or 4.2 may condition the exercise or
exchange of any Warrant on the consummation of a transaction involving Warrants
or Warrant Shares being undertaken by the Company or the Holder of such Warrant,
and such exercise or exchange shall not be deemed to have occurred except
concurrently with the consummation of such transaction, except that, for
purposes of determining whether such exercise or exchange is timely it shall be
deemed to have occurred on the Delivery Date. If any exercise of a Warrant is so
conditioned, then, subject to delivery of the items required by Section 4.3(a)
and compliance with the other terms hereof, the Company shall deliver the
certificates and other evidence of ownership of other securities or other
property in such manner as such Holder shall direct as required in connection
with the
11
15
consummation such transaction upon which the exercise is conditioned. If, at any
time prior to the consummation of a conditional exercise or exchange, such
Holder shall give notice to the Company that such transaction has been abandoned
or such Holder has withdrawn from participation in such transaction, the Company
shall return the items delivered pursuant to Section 4.3(a), and such Holder's
election to exercise such Warrant shall be deemed rescinded.
ARTICLE V
ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND SHARES.
5.1 GENERAL.
The Exercise Price and the number and kind of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time in accordance with this Article V.
5.2 STOCK DIVIDENDS, SUBDIVISIONS AND COMBINATIONS.
If, at any time after the Closing Date, the Company shall:
(i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a
distribution in shares of Common Stock; or
(ii) subdivide, split or reclassify its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock; or
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock;
then (A) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant
shall be adjusted so as to equal the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder of
such Warrant would have held immediately after the occurrence of such event if
the Holder had exercised such Warrant immediately prior to the occurrence of
such event (or, in the case of clause (i), the record date therefor) and (B) the
Exercise Price shall be adjusted to be equal to (x) the Exercise Price
immediately prior to the occurrence of such event multiplied by (y) a fraction
(1) the numerator of which is the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to the adjustment in clause (A) and
(2) the denominator of which is the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of such Warrant immediately after the adjustment in clause (A). An
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall become effective immediately
after the occurrence of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for
such event.
5.3 ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK.
(a) General. If, at any time after the Closing Date, the Company
shall issue or sell (or, in accordance with Section 5.3(b), shall be deemed to
have issued or sold) any shares of Common Stock (other than any issuance for
which an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 5.2 or 5.5 or no adjustment is
required pursuant to Section 5.7(g)) without consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the Market Price for the Common Stock
determined as of the
12
16
date of such issuance or sale, then, effective immediately upon such issuance or
sale, the Exercise Price and the number Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
each Warrant shall be adjusted as follows:
(i) The Exercise Price shall be reduced to an amount
equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale times (B) a fraction,
(I) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the product of (1)
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (on a Fully Diluted
Basis) immediately prior to such issuance or sale times (2) the Market
Price for the Common Stock as of the date of such issuance or sale plus
(y) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such
issuance or sale, and (II) the denominator of which shall be the
product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (on a
Fully Diluted Basis) immediately after such issuance or sale times (y)
such Market Price.
(ii) The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of such Warrant shall be increased to the number of shares determined
by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of such Warrant immediately prior to such issuance or sale by (B) a
fraction, (1) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to the adjustment in clause (i) of this
Section 5.3(a), and (2) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise
Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
(b) Issuance of Options or Convertible Securities. The issuance
or sale of Options or Convertible Securities shall be deemed, in accordance with
this Section 5.3(b), to be the issuance of Common Stock.
(i) Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 5.3(b),
the term "OPTIONS" means any warrants, options or other rights to
subscribe for or to purchase (A) Common Stock or (B) Convertible
Securities, and the term "CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES" means any capital
stock, evidence of indebtedness or other securities or rights
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock.
(ii) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner
issues or grants any Options, then the total maximum number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options (or upon
conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible
Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be deemed,
for purposes of Section 5.3(a), to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company. For purposes of Section 5.3(a), the
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options or upon conversion or
exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of Options
for Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued and sold
at a price per share equal to (A) the sum of (x) the total amount, if
any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the
issuance or granting of such Options plus (y) the minimum aggregate
amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the
exercise of all such Options plus (z) in the case of such Options for
Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible
13
17
Securities divided by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise
of such Options.
(iii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in
any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, then the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed, for purposes
of Section 5.3(a) to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by
the Company. For purposes of Section 5.3(a), the Common Stock issuable
upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities shall be deemed
to have been issued and sold at a price per share equal to (A) the sum
of (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as
consideration for the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities
plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if
any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof
divided by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
Securities.
(iv) Superseding Adjustment. If, at any time after any
adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall have been made pursuant to
Section 5.3(a) as a result of the issuance of Options or Convertible
Securities, or after any new adjustment of the Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares shall have been made pursuant to this Section
5.3(b)(iv) (each of the foregoing, a "PREVIOUS ADJUSTMENT"):
(A) such Options or the right of conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities shall expire, or be
terminated or surrendered, and all or a portion of such Options or
the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a
portion of such Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall
not have been exercised or treated as having been exercised or
otherwise canceled or acquired by the Company in connection with
any settlement, including any cash settlement, of such Options or
the rights of conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities; or
(B) there has been any change in the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options
or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities
(including as a result of a change in the number of Convertible
Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the
operation of antidilution provisions applicable thereto); or
(C) the consideration per share for which shares
of Common Stock are issuable upon the exercise of such Options or
upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or
the maturity of such Convertible Securities, shall be changed;
then, with respect to the unexercised portion of any then
outstanding Warrants, the previous adjustment shall be rescinded
and annulled and the shares of Common Stock which were deemed to
have been issued and that gave rise to the
14
18
previous adjustment shall no longer be deemed to have been issued.
Thereupon, a recomputation shall be made of the adjustment, if
any, of the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of such Warrants as a consequence of such
Options or Convertible Securities on the basis of:
(1) treating the number of shares of Common
Stock, if any, theretofore actually issued or issuable
pursuant to the previous exercise of such Options or such
right of conversion or exchange (including Options or
rights treated as exercised, otherwise cancelled or
acquired in connection with any settlement), as having been
issued on the date or dates of such issuance as determined
for purposes of the previous adjustment and for the total
amount of consideration actually received and receivable
therefor (determined in the manner described in Section
5.3(b)(ii) or (iii), as the case may be);
(2) treating the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock (x) issuable upon the exercise (or upon the
conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable
upon the exercise) of all Options which then remain
outstanding and (y) issuable upon the conversion or
exchange of all Convertible Securities which then remain
outstanding, as having been issued; and
(3) making the computations called for in Section
5.3(a) hereof on the basis of the revised terms of such
outstanding Options or Convertible Securities, as the case
may be, as if they were newly issued at the time of such
revision.
Any adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants resulting from such recomputation shall supersede
the previous adjustment.
(v) No Further Adjustments. Any adjustment of the
Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the
exercise of Warrants to be made pursuant to this Section 5.3 with
respect to the issuance of (A) any Options (whether for Common Stock or
Convertible Securities), (B) any Convertible Securities issuable upon
the exercise of such Options or (C) any shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities shall be made effective upon the issuance of
such Options. Any adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants to be made
pursuant to this Section 5.3 with respect to the issuance of (x) any
Convertible Securities (other than Convertible Securities issuable upon
the exercise of Options) or (y) any shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be
made effective upon the issuance of such Convertible Securities. No
further adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants shall be made upon the
actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon the
exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock
upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities.

5.4 DISTRIBUTIONS OF ASSETS OR SECURITIES OTHER THAN COMMON STOCK.
(a) If, at any time after the Closing Date, the Company shall,
by dividend or otherwise, distribute to the holders of its Common Stock any
shares of its capital stock (other than a distribution of Common Stock referred
to in Section 5.2), rights or warrants to purchase any of its securities (other
than those referred to in Section 5.3), evidences of its indebtedness, cash or
other property (other than cash dividends or cash distributions paid out of
current or retained earnings), then the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted as follows:
(i) The Exercise Price shall be reduced to an amount
equal to the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such issuance or sale times (B) a fraction (I) the numerator of
which shall be (x) the Market Price for the Common Stock as of the record
date for determining stockholders entitled to such distribution less (y)
the fair market value of the portion of the capital stock, rights or
warrants, evidences of indebtedness, cash or other property distributed
or to be distributed with respect to one share of Common Stock, and (II)
the denominator of which shall be such Market Price.
(ii) The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of such Warrant shall be increased to the number of shares determined by
multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
such Warrant immediately prior to such distribution times (B) a fraction
(1) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the adjustment in clause (i) of this Section 5.4 and
(2) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect
immediately after such adjustment.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
paragraph (a), upon a dividend payment or other distribution by the Company
which would otherwise trigger an adjustment pursuant to paragraph (a), no such
adjustment will be required if, upon such dividend payment or other
distribution, the Company simultaneously pays to each Holder of a Warrant his,
her or its pro rata portion of such dividend payment or other distribution as if
such Holder had fully exercised his, her or its Warrant immediately prior to the
record date for such distribution or, if no record is taken, the date as of
which the record holders of Warrant Shares entitled to such dividend payment or
other distribution are to be determined.
5.5 CAPITAL REORGANIZATION, CAPITAL RECLASSIFICATIONS, MERGER, ETC.
If, at any time after the Closing Date, (i) there shall be any capital
reorganization or any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company
(other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no
par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision,
split-up or combination of shares to which Section 5.2 applies or any
distribution to which Section 5.4 applies) or (ii) the Company shall consolidate
with, merge with or into, or sell all or substantially all of its assets or
property to, another Person, then in each such case, effective as of the
effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, of such
event, each Warrant shall be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of
stock, other securities, cash or other property to which a holder of the number
of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrant would have been
entitled to receive and/or to continue to hold
16
20
upon such event. In any such case, if necessary, the provisions of this
Agreement (including this Article V) and the Warrants with respect to the rights
and interests thereafter of the Holders of the Warrants shall be appropriately
adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares
of stock, other securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable upon
the exercise of the Warrants.
5.6 OTHER ACTIONS AFFECTING COMMON STOCK.
(a) Equitable Equivalent. If at any time or from time to time
the Company shall take any action affecting its Common Stock, other than any
action of a type otherwise described in this Article V, then the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted to such
extent, if any, and in such manner and at such time, as the Board shall, in the
good faith, exercise of its reasonable business judgement, determine to be
equitable in the circumstances, provided that no such adjustment shall decrease
the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrant or increase
the Exercise Price.
(b) No Avoidance. The Company will not, by amendment of its
certificate or articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer
of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or
any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company,
provided that the Company shall not be deemed to be avoiding or seeking to avoid
observance or performance solely because any action otherwise in compliance with
this Agreement is structured so as to avoid the need for, or to minimize the
extent of, any adjustment under this Article V. The Company shall at all times
in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Article V
and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or reasonably
appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holders against
impairment.
5.7 MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been
issued or sold for cash, then the consideration received therefor shall be
deemed to be the net amount received or to be received by the Company therefor.
If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for
consideration other than cash (including in connection with any merger in which
the Company issues such securities), then the amount of the consideration other
than cash received by the Company shall be the fair market value of such
consideration, as of the date of receipt, determined in good faith by the Board
exercising reasonable business judgment.
(b) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or held by or for
the account of the Company or any Subsidiary, and the disposition of any shares
so owned or held shall be considered an issuance of Common Stock.
(c) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders
of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or
other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or
(ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of
17
21
the issuance 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. If the Company shall take any such record of the
holders of its Common Stock and shall, thereafter and before the taking of the
action for which such record was taken, legally abandon its plan to take such
action, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking
of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall
be rescinded and annulled.
(d) Deferral of Issuance. In any case in which this Article V
shall require that any adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
the exercise of any Warrant or in the Exercise Price be made effective as of
immediately after a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to
defer, until the occurrence of such event, the issuing to the Holder of any
Warrant exercised after such record date of the shares of Common Stock and
shares or other units of other securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon
such exercise over and above the number of shares or other units that would have
been issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Price in effect
prior to such adjustment. In such case, the Company shall deliver to the Holder
a due ▇▇▇▇ or other appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder's right to
receive such additional shares or other units upon the occurrence of the event
requiring such adjustment.
(e) Notice; Adjustment Rules. Whenever the Exercise Price or
the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted as provided in this Article V,
the Company shall provide to each Holder a statement, signed by the Chairman,
the President or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, describing in
reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth a
calculation of the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares applicable to
each Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment. All calculations under this
Article V shall be made to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent ($.0001) or to
the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Adjustments pursuant
to this Article V shall apply to successive events or transactions of the types
covered thereby. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, no
adjustment shall be made to the number of Warrant Shares or to the Exercise
Price if such adjustment represents less than 1% of the number of Warrant Shares
previously required to be so delivered, but any 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 1% or more of the number of Warrant Shares to be so delivered.
(f) Certain Adjustments. The Company may make such reductions
in the Exercise Price or increase in the number of Warrant Shares to be received
by any Holder upon the exercise or exchange of a Warrant, in addition to those
adjustments required by this Article V, as it in its sole discretion shall
determine to be advisable in order that any consolidation or subdivision of the
Common Stock, or any issuance wholly for cash of any shares of Common Stock, or
any issuance wholly for cash of shares of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities, or any stock dividend, or any issuance of Options hereinafter made
by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock shall not be taxable to such
holders.
(g) Excluded Issuances. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Article V, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Article V in
respect of (i) the issuance of Common Stock in any underwritten public offering
that is registered with the Commission, (ii) the issuance of Common Stock or
Options to purchase Common Stock issued to employees,
18
22
officers, directors or consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary, or the
issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such Options, provided,
however, that the aggregate amount of all such Common Stock or Common Stock
which may be acquired upon the exercise of such Options shall not exceed an
aggregate of 14,954 shares of Common Stock (as such number is adjusted for stock
splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits or combinations affecting the
Common Stock), (iii) the issuance from time to time of shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of any of the Warrants or Note Warrants (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement), (iv) the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to
any adjustment provided for in Sections 5.2, 5.4 and 5.5, (v) the issuance of
Common Stock or Options as purchase price payable to sellers (other than any
Affiliates of the Company) in any merger, share exchange, consolidation,
liquidation or other business combination required to be approved and actually
approved by the requisite vote (being not less than a majority based on voting
power) of the shareholders of the Company, (vi) 8,902 shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the option granted to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and (vii) securities
issued in connection with the adoption of a shareholder rights plan by the
Company.
(h) Par Value. The Company shall not increase the par value of
any shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon the exercise of the
Warrants to an amount that exceeds the Exercise Price. Before taking any action
that would cause an adjustment pursuant to this Article V that would reduce the
Exercise Price below the par value per share of the Common Stock, the Company
shall be required to take any corporate action which may be necessary in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price as so adjusted.
ARTICLE VI
COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
6.1 NOTICES OF CERTAIN ACTIONS.
In the event that the Company:
(i) shall authorize issuance to all holders of Common Stock of
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase capital stock of the Company or
of any other subscription rights or warrants; or
(ii) shall authorize a dividend or other distribution to all
holders of Common Stock of evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other property
or assets; or
(iii) becomes a party to any consolidation or merger for which
approval of any shareholders of the Company will be required, or to a conveyance
or transfer of the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an
entirety, or of any capital reorganization or reclassification or change of the
Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination); or
(iv) commences a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up;
19
23
then the Company shall provide a written notice to each Holder stating (1) the
date as of which the holders of record of Common Stock to be entitled to receive
any such rights, warrants or distribution are to be determined, (2) the material
terms of any such consolidation or merger and the expected effective date
thereof, or (3) the material terms of any such conveyance, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the
date as of which it is expected that holders of record of Common Stock will be
entitled to exchange their shares for securities or other property, if any,
deliverable upon such reclassification, conveyance, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall be given as promptly as practicable
and not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date (or the
applicable record date, if earlier) of such event. The failure to give the
notice required by this Section 6.1 or any defect therein shall not affect the
legality or validity of any distribution, right, warrant, consolidation, merger,
conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or the vote upon
any action.
6.2 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF THE COMPANY.
The Company will not merge or consolidate with or into, or sell, transfer
or lease all or substantially all of its property to, any other entity unless
the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be (if not the Company), is
organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state or
political subdivision thereof and shall expressly agree to provide to each
Holder the securities, cash or property required by Section 5.5 hereof upon the
exercise or exchange of Warrants and expressly assumes, by supplemental
agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Requisite
Holders, the due and punctual performance and observance of each and every
covenant and condition of this Agreement to be performed and observed by the
Company; provided, however, that the initial obligation of such successor with
respect to the exercise or exchange of Warrants shall be only as set forth in
Section 5.5.
6.3 INFORMATION RIGHTS.
So long as any Holder or holder of Warrant Shares shall hold no less than
five percent (5%) of the aggregate of the then issued and outstanding Warrants
and Warrant Shares, the Company shall provide to such Holders and/or holders all
information required to be provided under Section 7.2 of the Securities Purchase
Agreement as in effect on the date hereof (whether or not the same shall remain
in effect).
6.4 PAYMENTS IN RESPECT OF DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.
If, at any time prior to the Expiration Time, the Company pays any
dividend or makes any distribution (whether in cash, property or securities of
the Company) on its Common Stock which does not result in an adjustment under
Article V, then the Company shall simultaneously pay to the Holder of each
Warrant, the cash, property or securities that would have been paid or delivered
to such Holder on the Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise in full of
such Warrant had such Warrant been fully exercised immediately prior to the
record date for such dividend or distribution or, if no record is taken, the
date as of which the record holders of Warrant Shares entitled to such dividend
or distribution are to be determined.

Company, as such. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by

stockholder of the Company.

of any Warrant, (iii) change any of the provisions of this Section 7.3(a) or the
definition of "Requisite Holders" or any other provision hereof specifying the

hereunder or required to make any determination or grant any consent hereunder
or otherwise to act with respect to this Agreement or any Warrants or (iv)
materially increase the obligations of any Holder.
(b) No Waiver. No failure on the part of any Holder to exercise
and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right,
power or privilege under this Agreement or the Warrants shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege under this Agreement or the Warrant preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
7.4 REMEDIES.
Each Holder shall have all rights and remedies reserved for such Holder
pursuant to this Agreement, all rights and remedies which such Holder has been
granted at any time under any other agreement or instrument and all of the
rights and remedies such Holder may have at law or in equity. The remedies
provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive. Any Person having any rights
