ARTICLE II
CONVERSION RIGHTS
The Holder shall have the right to convert the principal
amount and interest due under this Note into shares of the Borrower's Common
Stock as set forth below.
2.1. Conversion into the Borrower's Common Stock.
-------------------------------------------
(a) The Holder shall have the right from and after the
issuance of this Note and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to
convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of this Note, and at the
Holder's election, the interest accrued on the Note, (the date of giving of such
notice of conversion being a "Conversion Date") into fully paid and
nonassessable shares of common stock of the Borrower as such stock exists on the
date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of capital stock of the Borrower
into which such stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified (the "Common
Stock") at the conversion price as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof (the
"Conversion Price"), determined as provided herein. Upon delivery to the
Borrower of a Notice of Conversion as described in Section 8 of the Securities
Purchase Agreement entered into between the Borrower and certain persons who are
signatories thereto, including the Holder, relating to this Note (the "Purchase
Agreement") of the Holder's written request for conversion, the Borrower shall
issue and deliver to the Holder within four business days beginning on the day
following the date that the Company receives the Notice of Conversion that
number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in
accordance with the foregoing. At the election of the Holder, the Borrower will
deliver accrued but unpaid interest on the Note through the Conversion Date
directly to the Holder on or before the Delivery Date (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each
conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the
principal of the Note to be converted and interest, if any, by the Conversion
Price.
(b) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c)
hereof, the Conversion Price per share shall be the lower of (i) eighty percent
(80%) of the average of the three lowest closing prices for the Common Stock on
the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, NASDAQ SmallCap Market, NASDAQ National Market
System, American Stock Exchange, or New York Stock Exchange (whichever of the
foregoing is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common
Stock, the "Principal Market"), or if not then trading on a Principal Market,
such other principal market or exchange where the Common Stock is listed or
traded, for the thirty (30) trading days prior to but not including the Closing
Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in connection with which this Note
is issued ("Maximum Base Price"); or (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the average of
the three lowest closing prices for the Common Stock on the Principal Market, or
on any securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock
is then being listed or traded, for the thirty (30) trading days prior to but
not including the Conversion Date.
2
(c) The Maximum Base Price described in Section 2.1(b)(i)
above and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon
conversion determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and 2.1(b), shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this
conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
X. Xxxxxx, Sale of Assets, etc. If the Borrower at any time
---------------------------
shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all
its assets to any other corporation, this Note, as to the unpaid principal
portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to
evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or other
securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account
of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the
securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. The foregoing provision shall
similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such
successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such
successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.
B. Reclassification, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall,
---------------------
by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a
different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the
unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter
be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such
securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of
such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such
reclassification or other change.
C. Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of
-----------------------------------------
Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of
shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares
of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case
of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the
case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears
to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such event.
D. Share Issuance. Subject to the provisions of this Section,
---------------
if the Borrower at any time shall issue any shares of Common Stock prior to the
conversion of the entire principal amount of the Note (otherwise than as: (i)
provided in Sections 2.1(c)A, 2.1(c)B or 2.1(c)C or this subparagraph D; or (ii)
pursuant to options, warrants, or other obligations to issue shares, outstanding
on the date hereof as set forth in the Schedules to the Purchase Agreement; ((i)
and (ii) above, are hereinafter referred to as the "Existing Option
Obligations") for a consideration less than the Conversion Price that would be
in effect at the time of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each
such issue, the Conversion Price shall be reduced as follows: (i) the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be
multiplied by the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issue and the
product shall be added to the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the
Borrower upon such issue of additional shares of
3
Common Stock; and (ii) the sum so obtained shall be divided by the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue. The resulting
quotient shall be the adjusted conversion price. Except for the Existing Option
Obligations and options that may be issued under any employee incentive stock
option and/or any qualified stock option plan adopted by the Borrower, or
securities issued in connection with equipment leasing financings or other
related transactions, for purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any
security of the Borrower carrying the right to convert such security into shares
of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock
shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights.
(d) During the period the conversion right exists, the
Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient
number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full
conversion of this Note. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares
will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Borrower
agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its
officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing
and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates
for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.
2.2 Method of Conversion. This Note may be converted by the
--------------------
Holder in whole or in part as described in Section 2.1(a) hereof and the
Purchase Agreement. Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing
the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder,
be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note
and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.
ARTICLE III

("Event of Default") shall, at the option of the Holder hereof, make all sums of
principal and interest then remaining unpaid hereon and all other amounts
payable hereunder immediately due and payable, except as set forth below:

company shall have been appointed as trustee for the holders of the Warrants
pursuant to Subsection 3.2, such bank or trust company shall have all the powers

that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to be issued to the holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as
of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been
surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as
practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any
event within 7 days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the
payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name
of and delivered to the holder hereof, or as such holder (upon payment by such
holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with
applicable Securities Laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly
and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) to which such holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus,
in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be
entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value
of one full share, together with any other stock or other securities and
property (including cash, where applicable) to which such holder is entitled
upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.

aggregate Purchase Price, or (ii) by delivery of Warrants, Common Stock and/or
Common Stock receivable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with Section

and the holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly
authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock
(or Other Securities) determined as provided herein.
(b) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the
Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Purchase
Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising
this Warrant for cash, upon consent of the Company, the holder may elect to
receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the
portion thereof being cancelled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Subscription Form in
which event the Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares of Common
Stock computed using the following formula:
X=Y (A-B)
---
A
----------------
Where X= the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
holder
Y= the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the
Warrant or,
12
if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the
portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of
such calculation)
A= the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company's
Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)
B= Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation)
3. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.
---------------------------------------------------------
3.1. Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case at any
------------------------------------------
time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b)
consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan
or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such
case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and
adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the holder of this
Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective
date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the
Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which such holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such
holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to
further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.
3.2. Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company
-----------
following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets,
the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to
be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where
applicable) receivable by the holders of the Warrants after the effective date
of such dissolution pursuant to this Section 3 to a bank or trust company having
its principal office in New York, NY, as trustee for the holder or holders of
the Warrants.
3.3. Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization,
---------------------
consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer)
referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and
effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective
date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall
be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in
the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of
the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have
expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4. In the
event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the
consummation of the transaction described in this Section 3, then only in such
event will the Company's securities and property (including cash, where
applicable) receivable by the holders of the Warrants be delivered to the
Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.
3.4. Share Issuance. Except for the Excepted Issuances as
--------------
described in Section 10 of the Purchase Agreement, if the Company at any time
shall issue any shares of Common Stock prior to the complete exercise of this
Warrant for a consideration less than the Purchase Price that would be in effect
at the time of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such
issue, the Purchase Price shall be reduced as follows: (i) the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be multiplied
by the Purchase Price in effect at the time of such issue and the product shall
be added to
13
the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issue of
additional shares of Common Stock; and (ii) the sum so obtained shall be divided
by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
issue. The resulting quotient shall be the adjusted Purchase Price. For purposes
of this adjustment, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the
right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant,
right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the
Purchase Price upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such
conversion or purchase rights.
4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the
-------------------------------------------
Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or
other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such
event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such
event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the
product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The
Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the
happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4.
The number of shares of Common Stock that the holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to
receive shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator
is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect
on the date of such exercise.
5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or
-----------------------------
readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the
exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its
Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment
or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a
statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any
additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed
to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this
Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as
adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith
mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of the Warrant and any
Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).
6. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant;
-----------------------------------------------------------
Financial Statements. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available,
--------------------
solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrants, all shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of
the Warrant. This Warrant entitles the holder hereof to receive copies of all
financial and other information distributed or required to be distributed to the
holders of the Company's Common Stock.
7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with
-------------------------------
applicable Securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may
be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a "Transferor") with respect to
any or all of the Shares. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with
the Transferor's endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the
"Transferor Endorsement Form") and together with evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with
14
applicable Securities Laws, the Company at its expense but with payment by the
Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the
order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the
name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor
Endorsement Form (each a "Transferee"), calling in the aggregate on the face or
faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or
faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.
8. Replacement of Warrant. On 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 of this
Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably
satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such
mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its
expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
9. Registration Rights. The Holder of this Warrant has been granted
-------------------
certain registration rights by the Company. These registration rights are set
forth in a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company and
Purchaser of the Company's 8% Convertible Notes (the "Notes") at or prior to the
issue date of this Warrant. Upon the occurrence of a Non-Registration Event as
described in the Securities Purchase Agreement, in the event the Company is
unable to issue Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant that has been
registered in the Registration Statement described in Section 9.1(d) of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, within the time periods described in the
Securities Purchase Agreement, which Registration Statement must be effective
throughout the exercise period of this Warrant, then upon written demand made by
the Holder, the Company will pay to the Holder of this Warrant, in lieu of
delivering Common Stock, a sum equal to the closing price of the Company's
Common Stock on the Principal Market (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) or such other principal trading market for the Company's Common Stock
on the trading date immediately preceding the date notice is given by the
Holder, less the Purchase Price, for each share of Common Stock designated in
such notice from the Holder.
10. Maximum Exercise. The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this
----------------
Warrant on an exercise date, in connection with that number of shares of Common
Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on an exercise date,
and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made on
an exercise date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and
its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company on such date. For the purposes of the proviso to 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-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to
aggregate exercises which would result in the issuance of more than 4.99%. The
restriction described in this paragraph may be revoked upon 75 days prior notice
from the Holder to the Company or upon an Event of Default under the Notes. The
Holder may allocate which of the equity of the Company deemed beneficially owned
by the Subscriber shall be included in the 4.99% amount described above and
which shall be allocated to the excess above 4.99%.
11. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the each
-------------
holder of the Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock
(or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1,
exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant
pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such
issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such
office by such agent.
12. Transfer on the Company's Books. Until this Warrant is transferred
--------------------------------
on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof
as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes,
15
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
13. Notices, etc. All notices and other communications from the Company
------------
to the holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first class registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to
the Company in writing by such holder or, until any such holder furnishes to the
Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last holder of this
Warrant who has so furnished an address to the Company.
14. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The company may at any time
-----------------------------------
during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Purchase Price to any
amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors
of the Company.
15. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed,
-------------
waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the
party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination
is sought. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
Any action brought concerning the transactions contemplated by this Warrant
shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts
located in the state of New York. The individuals executing this Warrant on
behalf of the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and
waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the
other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event that any
provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable
statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the
extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform
with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or
unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Warrant. The headings in this Warrant are for
purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the
terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall
in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. The
Company acknowledges that legal counsel participated in the preparation of this
Warrant and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied
in the interpretation of this Warrant to favor any party against the other
party.
