supplement to the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and shall not be construed
as a modification of the Notes or the other Loan Documents, except as provided
herein. It is made for the sole protection of Borrower and Lenders, and each
Lender's successors and assigns. No other person shall have any rights of any
nature hereunder or by reason hereof or the right to rely hereon. In the event
of a conflict between this Agreement and the Notes, the provisions of the Notes
shall control.
7.3. INDEMNITY BY BORROWER. Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to
hold harmless each Lender and its partners, directors, officers, agents and
employees (individually and collectively the "Indemnitee(s)") from and against:
(a) Any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action
that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any person if the claim, demand,
action or cause of action, directly or indirectly, relates to a claim, demand,
action or cause of action that the person has or asserts against Borrower; and
-13-
(b) Any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses
(including court costs and attorneys' fees) that any Indemnitee suffers or
incurs as a result of the assertion of any claim, demand, action or cause of
action specified in this Section 7.03.
7.4. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of this Agreement
and of each and every provision hereof. The waiver by either Lender of any
breach or breaches hereof shall not be deemed, nor shall the same constitute, a
waiver of any subsequent breach or breaches.
7.5. BINDING EFFECT; ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding on and
inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lenders and their respective successors and
assigns, except that Borrower may not assign its rights hereunder or any
interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender. Each Lender
shall have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents and to grant participations in the Loan to others, but all waivers or
abridgements of Borrower's obligations that may be granted from time to time by
such Lender in writing, shall be binding upon such assignees or participants.
7.6. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement and any other Loan
Document, except the Notes, may be executed in any number of counterparts, and
any party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which, when
executed and delivered, will be deemed to be an original, and all of which
counterparts of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be,
taken together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument. The
execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or
thereto will not become effective until counterparts hereon or thereof, as the
case may be, have been executed by all the parties hereto or thereto.
7.7. INTEGRATION; AMENDMENTS; CONSENTS. This Agreement, together with
the documents referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties touching upon the subject matter hereof, supersedes any prior
negotiations or agreements on such matter, and, in particular, supersedes the
commitment letter or other correspondence or communication from Lenders (or
their general partner) to Borrower. No amendment, modification or supplement of
any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be
effective unless in writing, signed by Lenders and Borrower; and no waiver of
any of Borrower's or Guarantor's obligations under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents or consent to any departure by Borrower or Guarantor
therefrom shall be effective unless in writing, signed by Lenders, and then only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.
7.8. COSTS, EXPENSES AND TAXES. Borrower shall pay to each Lender, on
demand:
(a) The attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
such Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery
and administration of this Agreement and any other Loan Document and any matter
related thereto;
-14-
(b) The costs and expenses of such Lender in connection with
the enforcement of this Agreement and any other Loan Document and any matter
related thereto, including the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any legal
counsel (including those of in-house counsel), independent public accountants,
appraisers and other outside experts retained by such Lender; and
(c) All costs, expenses, fees, premiums and other charges
relating to or arising from this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or
any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the compliance with any of
the terms and conditions hereof or thereof.
All sums payable under this Section 7.08 may be deducted from the Loan
Amount in the discretion of Lenders.
7.9. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations
and warranties of Borrower contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall
survive the making of the Loan and the execution and delivery of the Notes, and
are material and have been or will be relied upon by Lenders, notwithstanding
any investigation made by Lenders or on behalf of Lenders. For the purpose of
this Agreement, all statements contained in any certificate, agreement,
Financial Statement, or other writing delivered by or on behalf of Borrower
pursuant hereto or to any other Loan Document or in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be deemed to be
representations and warranties of Borrower contained herein or in the other Loan
Documents, as the case may be.
7.10. NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands, directions, and other
communications provided for hereunder and under any other Loan Document (a
"Notice"), must be in writing and must be mailed, telegraphed, delivered or sent
by "fax," telex, cable or other form of electronic written communication to the
appropriate party at its respective address set forth below or, as to any party,
at any other address as may be designated by it in a written notice sent to the
other parties in accordance with this Section.
Any notice given by "fax," telegram, telex, cable or other form of

shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents; and to this end the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents are declared to be severable, remaining in full force and effect.

from time to time shall be deliverable to the Holder upon the exercise of this
Warrant, free and clear of all restrictions on sale or transfer (except such as
may be imposed under applicable federal and state securities laws) and free and
clear of all preemptive rights and all other rights to purchase securities of
the Company.
4. Protection Against Dilution.
(a) If, at any time or from time to time after the date of
this Warrant, the Company shall distribute to the holders of its
outstanding Common Stock, (i) securities, other than shares of Common
Stock, or (ii) property, other than cash dividends, without payment
therefor, with respect to Common Stock, then, and in each such case,
the Holder, upon the exercise of this Warrant, shall be entitled to
receive the securities and property which the Holder would have held on
the date of such exercise if, on the date of this Warrant, the Holder
had been the holder of record of the number of shares of the
-5-
Common Stock subscribed for upon such exercise and, during the period
from the date of this Warrant to and including the Exercise Date, had
retained such shares and the securities and properties receivable by
the Holder during such period. Notice of each such distribution shall
be forthwith mailed to the Holder.
(b) If, at any time or from time to time after the date of
this Warrant, the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a
distribution on its capital stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii)
subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number
of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares or (iv) issue by reclassification of its
Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so
that the Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall be entitled
to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock
of the Company which he would have owned or been entitled to receive
immediately following the happening of any of the events described
above had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made for the
Planned Reverse Split, which has been accounted for and is reflected in
the terms of this Warrant, provided, however, that if the Planned
Reverse Split is consummated at a ratio less favorable to the Holder,
an adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4(b) to provide
Holder with economically equivalent rights. An adjustment made pursuant
to this Section 4(b) shall become effective immediately after the
record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become
effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4(b), the holder of any
Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled to
receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of
Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, the Board of
Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be
described in a written notice to the Holder of any Warrant promptly
after such adjustment) shall determine the allocation between or among
shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and
other capital stock.
(c) In case of any consolidation or merger to which the
Company is a party other than a merger or consolidation in which the
Company is the continuing corporation, or in case of any sale or
conveyance to another entity of the property of the Company as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in the case of any
statutory exchange of securities with another entity (including any
exchange effectuated in connection with a merger of any other
corporation with the Company), the Holder of this Warrant shall have
the right thereafter to convert such Warrant into the kind and amount
of securities, cash or other property which he would have owned or have
been entitled to receive immediately after such consolidation, merger,
statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to the effective date of such consolidation, merger,
statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and in any such case, if
necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of
the provisions set forth in this Section 4 with respect to the rights
and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that
the provisions set forth in this Section 4 shall thereafter
correspondingly
-6-
be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any
shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable
on the exercise of this Warrant. In the event of a triangular merger in
which the Company is the surviving corporation, the right to purchase
Underlying Common Shares hereunder shall terminate on the date of such
merger and thereupon this Warrant shall become null and void but only
if the controlling corporation shall agree to substitute for this
Warrant its warrant which entitles the holder thereof to purchase upon
its exercise the kind and amount of shares and other securities and
property which the holder would have owned or been entitled to receive
had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such merger. The
above provisions only apply to successive consolidations, mergers,
statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances. Notice of any such
consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance, and of
said provisions so proposed to be made, shall be mailed to the Holder
not less than 20 days prior to such event. A sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company for a consideration
consisting primarily of securities shall be deemed a consolidation or
merger for the foregoing purposes.
(d) Anything in this Section 4 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions
in the Exercise Price as it in its discretion shall deem to be
advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares or
distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities convertible or
exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its
shareholders shall not be taxable.
(e) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted as provided in
this Section 4 and upon any modification of the rights of the Holder of
this Warrant in accordance with Section 4, the Company shall, at its
own expense, within 10 days of such adjustment or modification, deliver
to the Holder of this Warrant a certificate of the Principal Financial
Officer of the Company setting forth the Exercise Price and the number
of Underlying Common Shares after such adjustment or the effect of such
modification, a brief statement of the facts requiring or permitting
such adjustment or modification and the manner of computing the same.
In addition, within thirty 30 days of the end of the Company's fiscal
year following any such adjustment or modification, the Company shall,
at its own expense, deliver to the Holder of this Warrant a certificate
of a firm of independent public accountants of recognized standing
selected by the Board of Directors (who may be the regular auditors of
the Company) setting forth the same information as required by such
Principal Financial Officer certificate.
(f) If the Board of Directors of the Company shall declare any
dividend or other distribution in cash with respect to the Common
Stock, other than out of earned surplus, the Company shall mail notice
thereof to the Holder not less than 10 days prior to the record date
fixed for determining shareholders entitled to participate in such
dividend or other distribution.
-7-
5. Fully Paid Stock; Taxes.
The Company agrees that the shares of the Common Stock represented by
each and every certificate for Underlying Common Shares delivered on the
exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof shall, at the time
of such delivery, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights or other contractual rights
to purchase securities of the Company, and the Company will take all such
actions as may be necessary to assure that the par value or stated value, if
any, per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the
then Exercise Price. The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay,
when due and payable, any and all federal and state stamp, original issue or
similar taxes which may be payable in respect of the issue of any Underlying
Common Shares or certificate therefor.
6. Registration Under Securities Act of 1933.
(a) (i) The Company agrees that if, at any time, the Company
proposes to file with the SEC a registration statement (other than a
registration statement for the Initial Public Offering or a
registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any corresponding future
forms, or any other form for a limited purpose which excludes
registration of the Underlying Common Shares, or any registration
statement covering only securities proposed to be issued in exchange
for securities or assets of another corporation) in connection with the
registration of its Common Stock, the Company shall give written notice
of such proposed filing to all Holders of the Warrants and/or the
Underlying Common Shares and shall use its reasonable efforts to
include in such filing any proposed disposition of the Underlying
Common Shares upon receipt by the Company of a written request
therefor, given within 10 days after such notice is given by the
Company, setting forth the facts with respect to such proposed
disposition and all other information with respect to such person
necessary to be included in such registration statement; provided that
the Company shall have the right to postpone or withdraw any
registration of its Common Stock (and the corresponding registration
effected pursuant to this Section 5) without obligation to any such
Holder (the "Piggy-Back Registration").
(ii) From time to time, the Holder may make a written
request for registration under the Securities Act of its Underlying
Common Shares (a "Demand Registration"). Any such request will specify
the number of Underlying Common Shares proposed to be sold (the
"Included Shares") and will also specify the intended method of
disposition thereof. Upon receipt of such request for registration, the
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect, at the
earliest possible date, such registration under the Securities Act of
the Included Shares.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be
required to include any Underlying Common Shares in an underwritten
public offering unless each such Holder accepts the terms of the
underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriter(s)
selected by it, and then only in such quantity, if any, as will not, in
the opinion of the managing underwriter, jeopardize or be detrimental
to the success
-8-
of the offering (including price) by the Company. In the event that the
managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that the total
amount of securities, including the Underlying Common Shares, requested
to be included in such offering by all persons having registration
rights with respect thereto exceeds the amount that the managing
underwriter believes can be offered without jeopardizing or being
detrimental to the success of such offering, the quantity of securities
that the managing underwriter believes can be offered without causing
such adverse effect shall be allocated first to the Company, then to
the requesting Holders of Warrants and/or Underlying Common Shares and
any other holders of Common Stock having registration rights with
respect thereto as of the date hereof, and thereafter pro rata among
other security holders of the Company possessing similar registration
rights in accordance with their relative holdings, it being agreed to
by the Company that no person who does not possess such registration
rights shall be allowed to participate in the offering to the exclusion
of any Underlying Common Shares requested to be included by any Holder,
and such Underlying Common Shares shall be offered and sold on the same
terms and conditions as the shares of Common Stock, if any, being
offered by the Company in such offering. In the event that any of the
Underlying Common Shares are registered in connection with the
registration of an underwritten public offering (other than the Initial
Public Offering) but are not included in such underwritten public
offerings which are excluded from the offering shall be withheld from
the market by each such Holder for a period, not to exceed 180 days,
which the managing underwriter reasonably determines is necessary in
order to effect the underwritten public offering. The Company shall use
its best efforts to keep effective any registration statement covering
any of the Underlying Common Shares not subject to or included in an
underwritten public offering for a period of 90 days after the later of
the effective date of such registration statement or the date, if any,
that the managing underwriter specifies to be the date upon which such
Underlying Common Shares may be distributed; provided that the Company
may keep such registration statement effective for a shorter period if
all the Holders whose Underlying Common Shares were included in such
registration statement have notified the Company in writing that the
distribution of their Underlying Common Shares has been completed.
(c) Whenever the Company is required pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 5 to include Underlying Common Shares in a
registration statement, the Company shall (i) furnish each Holder of
any such Underlying Common Shares and each underwriter of such
Underlying Common Shares with such copies of the prospectus, including
the preliminary prospectus, conforming to the Securities Act (and such
other documents as each such Holder or each such underwriter may
reasonably request) in order to facilitate the sale or distribution of
the Underlying Common Shares, (ii) use its best efforts to register or
qualify such Underlying Common Shares under the blue sky laws (to the
extent applicable) of such jurisdiction or jurisdictions as the Holders
of any such Underlying Common Shares and each underwriter of Underlying
Common Shares being sold by such Holders shall reasonably request and
(iii) take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary or
advisable to enable such Holders and such underwriters to consummate
the sale or distribution in such jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which
such Holders shall have reasonably requested that the Underlying Common
Shares be sold.
-9-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to
register the Underlying Common Shares or perfect any exemption for the
offering and sale of the Underlying Common Shares under (i) the
securities laws of any foreign jurisdiction, (ii) the securities laws
of any State, territory or possession of the United States in the event
that registration or the perfection of any exemption under the law of
any such State, territory or possession would, in the opinion of the
Company, result in the imposition of unreasonable restrictions on the
Company or its shareholders, officers, directors or employees or (iii)
the securities laws of any state, territory or possession of the United
States which would require the Company to file a general consent to
service of process to qualify as a foreign corporation to do
businesterritory or possession.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company
shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with any registration or
other action pursuant to the provisions of this Section, including the
attorneys' fees (including those of in-house counsel) and expenses of
the Holder(s) of the Underlying Common Shares covered by such
registration incurred in connection with such registration or other
action, other than underwriting discounts, commissions and
non-accountable expense allowance and applicable transfer taxes
relating to the Underlying Common Shares.
7. Indemnification.
(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each selling holder of Underlying
Common Shares and each person who controls any such selling holder
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each and
all of them, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or actions, joint or several, to which any selling holder
of Underlying Common Shares or they or any of them may become subject
under the Securities Act or otherwise and to reimburse the persons
indemnified as above for any legal or other expenses (including the
cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred by them in
connection with any litigation or threatened litigation, whether or not
resulting in any liability, but only insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or actions arise out of, or are based upon, (i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any registration statement pursuant to which Underlying
Common Shares were registered under the Act (a "registration
statement"), any preliminary prospectus, the final prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto (or in any application or document
filed in connection therewith) or document executed by the Company
based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company
filed in any jurisdiction in order to register or qualify the
Underlying Common Shares under the securities laws thereof or the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, or (ii) the employment by the Company of any device, scheme
or artifice to defraud, or the engaging by the Company in any act,
practice or course of business which operates or would operate as a
fraud or deceit, or any conspiracy with respect thereto, in which the
Company shall participate, in connection Underlying Common Shares;
provided, however, that (i) the
-10-
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(a) shall not extend to
any selling holder of Underlying Common Shares in respect if any such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arising out of, or
based upon, any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or
any such omission or alleged omission, if (a) such statement or
omission was based upon and made in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by a selling holder of Underlying
Common Shares specifically for use in connection with the preparation
of such registration statement, any final prospectus, any preliminary
prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereto or (b) such
selling holder fails to deliver the final prospectus in connection with
the transaction in conformity with the prospectus delivery requirements
under the Securities Act. The Company agrees to pay any legal and other
expenses for which it is liable under this Section 7(a) from time to
time (but not more frequently than monthly) within 30 days after its
receipt of a xxxx therefor.
(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each selling
holder of Underlying Common Shares, severally and not jointly, will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers
who shall have signed the registration statement and each person, if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Act and each agent and underwriter of the Company to the same extent as
the foregoing indemnity from the Company, but in each case to the
extent, and only to the extent, that any statement in or omission from
or alleged omission from such registration statement, any final
prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto was made in reliance upon information furnished in writing to
the Company by such selling holder specifically for use in connection
with the preparation of the registration statement, any final
prospectus or the preliminary prospectus or any such amendment or
supplement thereto; provided, however, that the obligation of any
holder of Underlying Common Shares to indemnify the Company under the
provisions of this Section 7(b) shall be limited to the product of the
number of Underlying Common Shares being sold by the selling holder and
the market price of the Common Stock on the date of the sale to the
public of these Underlying Common Shares. Each selling holder of
Underlying Common Shares agrees to pay any legal and other expenses for
which it is liable under this Section 7(b) from time to time (but not
more frequently than monthly) within 30 days after receipt of a xxxx
therefor.
(c) If any action is brought against a person entitled to
indemnification pursuant to the foregoing Sections 7(a) or (b) (an
"indemnified party") in respect of which indemnity may be sought
against a person granting indemnification (an "indemnifying party")
pursuant to such Sections, such indemnified party shall promptly notify
such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party of any such action shall
not release the indemnifying party from any liability it may have to
such indemnified party otherwise than on account of the indemnity
agreement contained in Sections 6(a) or (b). In case any such action is
brought against an indemnified party and it notifies an indemnifying
party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party against which
a claim is to be made will be entitled to participate therein at its
own expense and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume at its
-11-
own expense the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to such indemnified party; provided, however, that (i) if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and
the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded based upon advice of counsel that there may be legal defenses
available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the
indemnified party shall have the right to select separate counsel to
assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense
of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and (ii)
in any event, the indemnified party shall be entitled to have counsel
chosen by such indemnified party participate in, but not conduct, the
defense at the expense of the indemnifying party. Upon receipt of
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by they
will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified
party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the
assumption of legal defenses in accordance with proviso (i) to the next
preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying
party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate
counsel), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the
indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement
of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the
employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the
indemnifying party. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any action or proceeding effected without its written
consent.
(d) In order to provide for just an equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section
7(a) is unavailable to a selling holder of Underlying Common Shares in
accordance with its terms, the Company and the selling holder of
Underlying Common Shares shall contribute to the aggregate losses,
claims, damages and liabilities, of the nature contemplated by said
indemnity agreement, incurred by the Company and the selling holder of
Underlying Common Shares, in such proportions as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the selling
holder of Underlying Common Shares from any offering of the Underlying
Common Shares; provided, however, that if such allocation is not
permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give
the notice required under Section 7(c), then the relative fault of the
Company and the selling holder of Underlying Common Shares in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages and liabilities and other relevant equitable
considerations will be considered together with such relative benefits.
(e) The respective indemnity and contribution agreements by
the Company and the selling holder of Underlying Common Shares in
Sections 7(a), (b), (c) and (d) shall remain operative and in full
force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by any
selling holder of Underlying Common Shares or by or on behalf of any
person who controls such selling holder or by the Company or any
controlling person of the Company
-12-
or any director or any officer of the Company, (ii) payment for any of
the Underlying Common Shares or (iii) any termination of this
Agreement, and shall survive the delivery of the Underlying Common
Shares, and any successor of the Company, or of any selling holder of
Underlying Common Shares, or of any person who controls the Company or
of any selling holder of Underlying Common Shares, as the case may be,
shall be entitled to the benefit of such respective indemnity and
contribution agreements. The respective indemnity and contribution
agreements by the Company and the selling holder of Underlying Common
Shares contained in Sections 7(a), (b), (c) and (d) shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company and the selling holder of
Underlying Common Shares may otherwise have.
8. Limited Transferability.
(a) The Holder agrees that prior to making any transfer or
disposition of the Warrant or the Underlying Common Shares or any
interest therein, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company
describing briefly the manner in which any such proposed transfer or
disposition is to be made; and no such transfer or disposition shall be
made if the Company has notified the Holder that in the opinion of
counsel to the Company (i) a registration statement (or other
notification or post-effective amendment thereto) under the Securities
Act is required with respect to such transfer or disposition and no
such registration statement has been filed by the Company with, and
declared effective, if necessary, by, the Commission, or (ii)
unfulfilled requirements under any federal, state or foreign securities
laws prohibit or restrict the proposed transfer or disposition. The
Company shall not be required to cause the Warrant or the Underlying
Common Shares to be registered under any securities laws, except as
provided in Section 5 above.
The Company may treat the registered holder of this Warrant as
he or it appears on the Company's books at any time as the Holder for
all purposes. The Company shall permit any holder of a Warrant or his
duly authorized attorney, upon written request during ordinary business
hours, to inspect and copy or make extracts from its books showing the
registered holders of Warrants. All Warrants will be dated the same
date as this Warrant.
(b) By acceptance hereof, the Holder represents and warrants
that this Warrant is being acquired, and all Underlying Common Shares
to be purchased upon the exercise of this Warrant will be acquired, by
the Holder solely for the account of such Holder and not with a view to
the distribution thereof and will not be sold or transferred except in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the
rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and the Holder
agrees that neither this Warrant nor any of the Underlying Common
Shares may be sold or transferred except under cover of a registration
statement under the Act which is effective and current with respect to
such Underlying Common Shares or pursuant to an opinion, in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Company's counsel, that
registration under the Act is not required in connection with such sale
or transfer. Any Underlying Common Shares issued upon exercise of this
Warrant shall bear the following legend:
-13-
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR ANY STATE OR FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT
BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR
HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND
ALL SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM
AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THE SHARES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER,
PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH."
9. Intentionally Left Blank
10. Loss, etc., of Warrant.
Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, if lost, stolen or destroyed, and upon surrender
and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, and upon reimbursement of the
Company's reasonable incidental expenses, the Company shall execute and deliver
to the Holder a new Warrant of like date, tenor and denomination.
11. Warrant Holder Not Shareholders.
Except as otherwise provided herein, this Warrant does not confer upon
the Holder any right to vote or to consent to or receive notice as a shareholder
of the Company, as such, in respect of any matters whatsoever, or any other
rights or liabilities as a shareholder, prior to the exercise hereof.
