The Company covenants and agrees at its expense and without any expense
to the Placement Agent as follows:
A. To advise the Placement Agent of any material adverse change
in the Company's financial condition, prospects or business or of any
development materially affecting the Company or rendering untrue or misleading
any material statement in the Offering Documents occurring at any time prior

thereof.
B. To use its best efforts to cause the Common Stock issuable in
connection with the Line of Credit Agreement to be qualified or registered for
sale on terms consistent with those stated in the Investor Registration Rights
Agreement, and under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the
Placement Agent and the Investors shall reasonably request; provided, that
such states and jurisdictions do not require the Company to qualify as a
foreign corporation or take other action that could adversely affect the
Company. Qualification, registration and exemption charges and fees shall be
at the sole cost and expense of the Company.
C. Upon written request, to provide and continue to provide to

E. To comply with the terms of the Offering Documents.
F. To ensure that any transactions between the Company and any of
its officers, directors and affiliates be on terms and conditions that are no
less favorable to the Company, than the terms and conditions that would be

6. Indemnification.
A. The Company hereby agrees that it will indemnify and hold the
Placement Agent and each officer, director, shareholder, employee or
representative of the Placement Agent, and each person controlling, controlled
by or under common control with the Placement Agent within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act or the SEC's rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Rules and Regulations") (the
Placement Agent, the officers, directors, shareholders, employees and
representatives of the Placement Agent and the persons controlling, controlled
by or under common control with the Placement Agent are referred to
collectively as "MD Indemnified Persons"), harmless from and against any and
all loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense whatsoever (including, but
not limited to, any and all reasonable legal fees and other expenses and
disbursements incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend
or defending any action, suit or proceeding, including any inquiry or
investigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever or in
appearing or preparing for appearance as a witness in any action, suit or
proceeding, including any inquiry, investigation or pretrial proceeding such
as a deposition) to which any MD Indemnified Person may become subject under
the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the Rules and Regulations, or any other federal or
state law or regulation, common law or otherwise, arising out of or based upon
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in (a) Section 4 of this Agreement, (b) the Offering Documents
(except those written statements relating to the Placement Agent given by an
indemnified person for inclusion therein), (c) any application or other
document or written communication executed by the Company or based upon
written information furnished by the Company filed in any jurisdiction in
order to qualify the Common Stock under the securities laws thereof, or any
state securities commission or agency; (ii) the omission or alleged omission
from documents described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading; or (iii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement made by the Company in this Agreement. The Company further agrees
that upon demand by any MD Indemnified Person, at any time or from time to
time, it will promptly reimburse such indemnified person for any loss, claim,
damage, liability, cost or expense actually and reasonably paid by the MD
Indemnified Person as to which the Company has indemnified such person
pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
6(A), any such payment or reimbursement by the Company of fees, expenses or
disbursements incurred by an indemnified person in any proceeding in which a
final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (after all appeals or the
expiration of time to appeal) is entered against such MD Indemnified Person as
a direct result of the Placement Agent or such person's gross negligence or
willful misfeasance will be promptly repaid to the Company.
A. The Placement Agent hereby agrees that it will indemnify and hold the
Company and each officer, director, shareholder, employee or representative of
the Company, and each person controlling, controlled by or under common
control with the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or
Section 20 of the 1934 Act or the Rules and Regulations (the Company, the
officers, directors, shareholders, employees and representatives of the
Placement Agent and the persons controlling, controlled by or under common
control with the Company are referred to collectively as "Company Indemnified
Persons"), harmless from and against any and all loss, claim, damage,
liability, cost or expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and
all reasonable legal fees and other expenses and disbursements incurred in
connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any action,
suit or proceeding, including any inquiry or investigation, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever or in appearing or preparing for
appearance as a witness in any action, suit or proceeding, including any
inquiry, investigation or pretrial proceeding such as a deposition) to which
any Company Indemnified Person may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934
Act, the Rules and Regulations, or any other federal or state law or
regulation, common law or otherwise, arising out of or based upon (i) the
conduct of the Placement Agent or its officers, employees or representatives
in its acting as Placement Agent for the Offering or (ii) the breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Placement Agent in
this Agreement (iii) any false or misleading information provided to the
Company by one of the Placement Agent indemnified persons.
B. Promptly after receipt by a MD Indemnified Person or a Company
Indemnified Person (in either case, an "Indemnified Person") of notice of
commencement of any action covered by Section 6(A) or 6(B), the party to be
indemnified shall, within five (5) business days, notify the Indemnifying
Person of the commencement thereof; the omission by one Indemnified Person to
so notify the person obligated to indemnify pursuant to Section 6(A) or 6(B)
(in either such case, the "Indemnifying Person") shall not relieve the
indemnifying party of its obligation to indemnify any other Indemnified Person
that has given such notice and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of
any liability outside of this indemnification if not materially prejudiced
thereby. If any action is brought against the Indemnified Person, the
Indemnifying Person will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent
it may desire, to assume and control the defense thereof with counsel chosen
by it which is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person. After notice
from the indemnifying person to such indemnified party of its election to so
assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying person will not be liable to such
indemnified party under such Section 6(A) or 6(B) for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
the defense thereof, but the indemnified party may, at its own expense,
participate in such defense by counsel chosen by it, without, however,
impairing the indemnifying party's control of the defense. Subject to the
provision of this sentence and notwithstanding any other statement to the
contrary contained herein, the Indemnified Persons shall have the right to
choose its or their own counsel and control the defense of any action, all at
the expense of the Indemnifying Person if, (i) the employment of such counsel
shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Person in connection
with the defense of such action at the expense of the Indemnifying Person, or
(ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have employed counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Person to have charge of the defense of such
action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or
(iii) such Indemnified Persons shall have reasonably concluded that there may
be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to
those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the
Indemnifying Persons shall not have the right to direct the defense of such
action on behalf of the Indemnified Persons), in any of which events such fees
and expenses of one additional counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying
Person; provided, that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with
any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the
same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstance,
be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm
of attorneys at any time for all such Indemnified Persons. No settlement of
any action or proceeding against an indemnified party shall be made without
the consent of the Indemnifying Person.
C. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 6(A) or
6(B) is due in accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a court
to be unavailable on grounds of policy or otherwise, the Company and the
Placement Agent shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with the investigation or defense of same) which the other may
incur in such proportion so that the Placement Agent shall be responsible for
such percent of the aggregate of such losses, claims, damages and liabilities
as shall equal the percentage of the gross proceeds paid to the Placement
Agent and the Company shall be responsible for the balance; provided, however,
that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes
of this Section 6(D), any person controlling, controlled by or under common
control with the Placement Agent, or any partner, director, officer, employee,
representative or any agent of any thereof, shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Placement Agent and each person controlling, controlled by
or under common control with the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each officer of the Company and
each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Company. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of
notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in
respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against the other party
under this Section 6(D), notify such party from whom contribution may be
sought, but the omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the party
from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation they may have
hereunder or otherwise if the party from whom contribution may be sought is
not materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnity and contribution agreements
contained in this Section 6 shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified
person or any termination of this Agreement.
7. Payment of Expenses.
The Company will bear all of the expenses in connection with the
Offering, including, but not limited to the following: SEC and other filing
fees, printing and duplicating costs, advertisements, postage and mailing
expenses with respect to the transmission of Offering Documents, registrar and
transfer agent fees, Escrow Agent fees and expenses, fees of the Company's
counsel and accountants, issue and transfer taxes, if any.
8. Termination.
The terms of this Agreement shall terminate upon the same terms and
conditions contained in the Line of Credit Agreement. The rights of the
Investors and the obligations of the Company under the Investor Registration
Rights Agreement, and the rights of the Placement Agent and the obligations of
the Company under the Warrants and the MD Registration Rights Agreement shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
9. Miscellaneous.
A. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each
of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original, but all which

Section 2. Exercise of Warrant.
-------------------------------
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be
exercised by the holder hereof then registered on the books of the Company,
pro rata as hereinafter provided, at any time on any Business Day on or after
the opening of business on such Business Day, commencing with the first day
after the Issuance Date, and prior to 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the
Expiration Date, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form of the
subscription notice attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Exercise Notice"), of
such holder's election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify
the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, (ii) (A) payment to the Company
of an amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price(s) applicable to the Warrant
Shares being purchased, multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares (at the
applicable Warrant Exercise Price) as to which this Warrant is being exercised
(plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) (the "Aggregate Exercise Price")
in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) notification to
the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless
Exercise (as defined in Section 2(f)) and (iii) the surrender of this Warrant
(or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of
its loss, theft or destruction) to a common carrier for overnight delivery to
the Company as soon as practicable following such date. In the event of any
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in compliance with this
Section 2(a), the Company shall on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the
date of receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Aggregate Exercise Price (or
notice of a Cashless Exercise) and this Warrant (or an indemnification
undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or
destruction) and, except for a Cashless Exercise, the receipt of the
representations of the holder specified in Section 6 hereof, if requested by
the Company (the "Exercise Delivery Documents"), and if the Common Stock is
DTC eligible credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which
the holder shall be entitled to the holder's or its designee's balance account
with The Depository Trust Company; provided, that if the holder who submitted
the Exercise Notice has requested physical delivery of any or all of the
Warrant Shares, or, if the Common Stock is not DTC eligible then the Company
shall, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt of the
Exercise Delivery Documents, issue and surrender to a common carrier for
overnight delivery to the address specified in the Exercise Notice, a
certificate, registered in the name of the holder, for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled pursuant to such request.
Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to
in clause (ii)(A) above or notification to the Company of a Cashless Exercise
referred to in Section 2(f), the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for
all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant
Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised. In the case of
a dispute as to the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Closing
Bid Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company
shall promptly issue to the holder the number of Warrant Shares that is not
disputed and shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic
calculations to the holder via facsimile within three (3) Business Day of
receipt of the holder's Exercise Notice. If the holder and the Company are
unable to agree upon the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or
arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares within one (1) day of such
disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the
holder, then the Company shall immediately submit via facsimile (i) the
disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or the Closing Bid Price
to an independent, reputable investment banking firm or (ii) the disputed
arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to its independent, outside
accountant The Company shall cause the investment banking firm or the
accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations
and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than five (5)
business days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or
calculations. Such investment banking firm's or accountant's determination or
calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest
error.
(b) Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired
or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as practicable
and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at
its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant
exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant
exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such
Warrant is exercised.
(c) No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon any pro rata
exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares issued upon
such exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole
number.
(d) If the Company or its transfer agent shall fail for any reason
or for no reason to issue to the holder within ten (10) Business Days of
receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of
Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled or to credit the holder's
balance account with The Depository Trust Company for such number of Warrant
Shares to which the holder is entitled upon the holder's exercise of this
Warrant, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies under this
Warrant or the Placement Agent Agreement or otherwise available to such
holder, pay as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day the
issuance of such certificate for Warrant Shares is not timely effected an
amount equal to 0.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Warrant
Shares not issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which the holder is
entitled, and (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock for the trading
day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have
issued such Common Stock to the holder without violating this Section 2.
(e) If within ten (10) Business Days after the Company's receipt of
the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Company fails to deliver a new Warrant to
the holder for the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled
pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, then, in addition to any other available
remedies under this Warrant or the Placement Agent Agreement, or otherwise
available to such holder, the Company shall pay as additional damages in cash
to such holder on each day after such tenth (10th) Business Day that such
delivery of such new Warrant is not timely effected in an amount equal to
0.25% of the product of (A) the number of Warrant Shares represented by the
portion of this Warrant which is not being exercised and (B) the Closing Bid
Price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the last
possible date which the Company could have issued such Warrant to the holder
without violating this Section 2.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Warrant, the holder of
this Warrant may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise
this Warrant to the extent then exercisable, and in lieu of making payment of
the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash, elect instead to receive upon such
exercise the "Net Number" of shares of Common Stock determined according to
the following formula (a "Cashless Exercise"):
Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)
-----------------
B
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to
which this Warrant is then being exercised.
B= the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the
date of exercise of the Warrant.
C= the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect for the
applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
Section 3. Covenants as to Common Stock. The Company hereby covenants
and agrees as follows:
(a) This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for or
replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and validly
issued.
(b) All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with
respect to the issue thereof.
(c) During the period within which the rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved at least 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock needed to
provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and
the par value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the
applicable Warrant Exercise Price.
(d) The Company shall promptly file a registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission to secure the listing of the Warrant
Shares on the Principal Market in accordance with the terms and conditions
regarding the registration rights of holders of Warrants set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement and shall maintain, so long as any other shares
of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares from
time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall
so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as
the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of
capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and
so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national
securities exchange or automated quotation system.
(e) The Company will not, by amendment of its 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 by it hereunder, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by
the holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the
holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with
the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. The Company will not (i) increase the
par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant above the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take
all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(f) This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the
Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of
the Company's assets.
Section 4. Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes, except any
applicable withholding, which may be payable with respect to the issuance and
delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.
Section 5. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. Except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant
shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of
shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything
contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as
such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote,
give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization,
issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance
or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription
rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the holder of this Warrant of
the Warrant Shares which he or she is then entitled to receive upon the due
exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant
shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any
securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of
the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by
creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company will
provide the holder of this Warrant with copies of the same written notices and
other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally,
contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.
Section 6. Representations of Holder. The holder of this Warrant, by
the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the
Warrant Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view
towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of
this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or
exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the
representations herein, the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any
of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the
right to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in
accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under
the Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant further represents, by
acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such holder is an "accredited
investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
(an "Accredited Investor"). Upon exercise of this Warrant, other than
pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, the holder shall, if requested by the
Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the
Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired solely for the holder's own
account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with
a view toward distribution or resale and that such holder is an Accredited
Investor. If such holder cannot make such representations because they would
be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to such holder's exercise of
this Warrant, other than pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, that the Company
receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably
necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon
exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state
securities laws.
Section 7. Ownership and Transfer.
----------------------------------
(a) The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices
(or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice
to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall
record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been
issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may
treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as
the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant.
(b) The Company is obligated to register the Warrant Shares for
resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement
and the initial holder of this Warrant (and certain assignees thereof) is
entitled to the registration rights in respect of the Warrant Shares as set
forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
Section 8. Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
The Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon
Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Issuance Date of
this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or
sold, any shares of Common Stock (other than (i) Excluded Securities and (ii)
shares of Common Stock which are issued or deemed to have been issued by the
Company in connection with an Approved Stock Plan or upon exercise or
conversion of the Other Securities) for a consideration per share less than a
price (the "Applicable Price") equal to the Warrant Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then immediately after such issue
or sale the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an
amount equal to such consideration per share. Upon each such adjustment of
the Warrant Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares
determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(b) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For
purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 8(a)
above, the following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Options. If after the date hereof, the Company
in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share for which one
share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon
conversion or exchange of any convertible securities issuable upon exercise of
any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common
Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by
the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price
per share. For purposes of this Section 8(b)(i), the lowest price per share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options
or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be equal
to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or
receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon
the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option or upon
conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of
such Option. No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be
made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible
Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of
such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any
manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per
share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or
exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common
Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by
the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities
for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii), the
lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
such conversion or exchange shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to
one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible
Security and upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Security. No
further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is
made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Warrant Exercise
Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section
8(b), no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by
reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the
purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any Convertible
Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible
into or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Warrant
Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the
Warrant Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such
Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price,
additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at
the time initially granted, issued or sold and the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be correspondingly readjusted.
For purposes of this Section 8(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or
Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date of this
Warrant are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding
sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed
issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have
been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment pursuant to this
Section 8(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of
the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect.
(c) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For
purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Sections
8(a) and 8(b), the following shall be applicable:
(i) 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, the consideration received therefore will be deemed
to be the net amount received by the Company therefore. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other
than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be
the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists
of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received
by the Company will be the Market Price of such securities on the date of
receipt of such securities. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection
with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of
consideration therefore will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of
the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to
such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The
fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be
determined jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants representing at
least two-thirds (2/3) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants then outstanding. If such parties are unable to reach agreement
within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the
"Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined
within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the
Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the
Company and the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of
the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding.
The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all
parties and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne jointly by
the Company and the holders of Warrants. The Company and the holders of the
Warrants shall each pay one half (1/2) of the cost of the appraiser.
(ii) Integrated Transactions. In case any Option is issued in
connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together
comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is
allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed
to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01.
(iii) 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, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held
will be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(iv) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders
of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or
other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible
Securities or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of
the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or
sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other
distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or
purchase, as the case may be.
(d) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Subdivision or
Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the date of
issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced
and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this
Warrant will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after
the date of issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock
split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and
the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be
proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 8(d) shall
become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or
combination becomes effective.
(e) Distribution of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make
any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its
assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise
(including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other
securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off,
reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a
"Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each
such case:
(i) any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective
as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by
multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the
numerator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading
day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution
(as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) applicable
to one share of Common Stock, and (B) the denominator shall be the Closing
Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such
record date; and
(ii) either (A) the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of
business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the
fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i), or (B) in the
event that the Distribution is of common stock of a company whose common stock
is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation
system, then the holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional warrant to
purchase Common Stock, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this
Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the amount of the
assets that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to
the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to
such record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by which the
exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution
pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).
(f) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by
the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such
provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation
rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the
Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the
Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable
upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of
the Warrants; provided, except as set forth in section 8(d),that no such
adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(f) will increase the Warrant Exercise
Price or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise
determined pursuant to this Section 8.
(g) Notices.
(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise
Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of this
Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation
of such adjustment.
(ii) The Company will give written notice to the holder of this
Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Company closes
its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution
upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to
holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to
any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or liquidation, provided
that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in
conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.
(iii) The Company will also give written notice to the holder of
this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any Organic
Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place, provided that such
information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with
such notice being provided to such holder.
Section 9. Purchase Rights; Reorganization, Reclassification,
Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(a) In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 above, if
at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible
Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property
pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase
Rights"), then the holder of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon
the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights
which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance
or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as
of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the
grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
(b) Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets to another Person or other transaction in each case which is effected
in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either
directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with
respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as an
"Organic Change". Prior to the consummation of any (i) sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other
Organic Change following which the Company is not a surviving entity, the
Company will secure from the Person purchasing such assets or the successor
resulting from such Organic Change (in each case, the "Acquiring Entity") a
written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of
Warrants representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to deliver to each holder of
Warrants in exchange for such Warrants, a security of the Acquiring Entity
evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance
to this Warrant and satisfactory to the holders of the Warrants (including an
adjusted warrant exercise price equal to the value for the Common Stock
reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and exercisable
for a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable
upon exercise of the Warrants without regard to any limitations on exercise,
if the value so reflected is less than any Applicable Warrant Exercise Price
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). Prior to the
consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate
provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of Warrants
representing a majority of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants then outstanding) to insure that each of the holders of the Warrants
will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in
addition to (as the case may be) the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore
issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder's Warrants (without
regard to any limitations on exercise), such shares of stock, securities or
assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with
respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares which would have
been issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder's Warrant as of
the date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any limitations
or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant).
Section 10. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this
Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall promptly,
on receipt of an indemnification undertaking (or, in the case of a mutilated
Warrant, the Warrant), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as
this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
Section 11. Notice. Any notices, consents, waivers or other
communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this
Warrant must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i)
upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by
facsimile (provided confirmation of receipt is received by the sending party

any Warrant without the written consent of the holder of such Warrant.

Warrant Shares, or, if the Common Stock is not DTC eligible then the Company

disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the
holder, then the Company shall immediately submit via facsimile (i) the
disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or the Closing Bid Price
to an independent, reputable investment banking firm or (ii) the disputed
arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to its independent, outside
accountant The Company shall cause the investment banking firm or the
accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations
and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than five (5)
business days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or
calculations. Such investment banking firm's or accountant's determination or
calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest
error.
(b) Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired
or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as practicable
and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at
its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant
exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant
exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such
Warrant is exercised.
(c) No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon any pro rata
exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares issued upon
such exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole
number.
(d) If the Company or its transfer agent shall fail for any reason
or for no reason to issue to the holder within ten (10) Business Days of
receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of
Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled or to credit the holder's
balance account with The Depository Trust Company for such number of Warrant
Shares to which the holder is entitled upon the holder's exercise of this
Warrant, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies under this
Warrant or the Placement Agent Agreement or otherwise available to such
holder, pay as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day the
issuance of such certificate for Warrant Shares is not timely effected an
amount equal to 0.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Warrant
Shares not issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which the holder is
entitled, and (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock for the trading
day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have
issued such Common Stock to the holder without violating this Section 2.
(e) If within ten (10) Business Days after the Company's receipt of
the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Company fails to deliver a new Warrant to
the holder for the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled
pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, then, in addition to any other available
remedies under this Warrant or the Placement Agent Agreement, or otherwise
available to such holder, the Company shall pay as additional damages in cash
to such holder on each day after such tenth (10th) Business Day that such
delivery of such new Warrant is not timely effected in an amount equal to
0.25% of the product of (A) the number of Warrant Shares represented by the
portion of this Warrant which is not being exercised and (B) the Closing Bid
Price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the last
possible date which the Company could have issued such Warrant to the holder
without violating this Section 2.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Warrant, the holder of
this Warrant may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise
this Warrant to the extent then exercisable, and in lieu of making payment of
the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash, elect instead to receive upon such
exercise the "Net Number" of shares of Common Stock determined according to
the following formula (a "Cashless Exercise"):
Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)
----------------
B
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this
Warrant is then being exercised.
B= the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the date of exercise
of the Warrant.
C= the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable
Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
Section 3. Covenants as to Common Stock. The Company hereby covenants
and agrees as follows:
(a) This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for or
replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and validly
issued.
(b) All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with
respect to the issue thereof.
(c) During the period within which the rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved at least 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock needed to
provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and
the par value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the
applicable Warrant Exercise Price.
(d) The Company shall promptly file a registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission to secure the listing of the Warrant
Shares on the Principal Market in accordance with the terms and conditions
regarding the registration rights of holders of Warrants set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement and shall maintain, so long as any other shares
of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares from
time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall
so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as
the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of
capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and
so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national
securities exchange or automated quotation system.
(e) The Company will not, by amendment of its 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 by it hereunder, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by
the holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the
holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with
the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. The Company will not (i) increase the
par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant above the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take
all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(f) This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the
Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of
the Company's assets.
Section 4. Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes, except any
applicable withholding, which may be payable with respect to the issuance and
delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.
Section 5. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. Except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant
shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of
shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything
contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as
such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote,
give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization,
issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance
or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription
rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the holder of this Warrant of
the Warrant Shares which he or she is then entitled to receive upon the due
exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant
shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any
securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of
the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by
creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company will
provide the holder of this Warrant with copies of the same written notices and
other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally,
contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.
Section 6. Representations of Holder. The holder of this Warrant, by
the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the
Warrant Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view
towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of
this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or
exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the
representations herein, the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any
of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the
right to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in
accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under
the Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant further represents, by
acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such holder is an "accredited
investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
(an "Accredited Investor"). Upon exercise of this Warrant, other than
pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, the holder shall, if requested by the
Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the
Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired solely for the holder's own
account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with
a view toward distribution or resale and that such holder is an Accredited
Investor. If such holder cannot make such representations because they would
be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to such holder's exercise of
this Warrant, other than pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, that the Company
receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably
necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon
exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state
securities laws.
Section 7. Ownership and Transfer.
(a) The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices
(or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice
to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall
record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been
issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may
treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as
the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant.
(b) The Company is obligated to register the Warrant Shares for
resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement
and the initial holder of this Warrant (and certain assignees thereof) is
entitled to the registration rights in respect of the Warrant Shares as set
forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
Section 8. Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
The Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon
Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Issuance Date of
this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or
sold, any shares of Common Stock (other than (i) Excluded Securities and (ii)
shares of Common Stock which are issued or deemed to have been issued by the
Company in connection with an Approved Stock Plan or upon exercise or
conversion of the Other Securities) for a consideration per share less than a
price (the "Applicable Price") equal to the Warrant Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then immediately after such issue
or sale the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an
amount equal to such consideration per share. Upon each such adjustment of
the Warrant Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares
determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(b) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes
of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 8(a) above,
the following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Options. If after the date hereof, the Company
in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share for which one
share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon
conversion or exchange of any convertible securities issuable upon exercise of
any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common
Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by
the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price
per share. For purposes of this Section 8(b)(i), the lowest price per share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options
or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be equal
to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or
receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon
the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option or upon
conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of
such Option. No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be
made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible
Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of
such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any
manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per
share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or
exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common
Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by
the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities
for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii), the
lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
such conversion or exchange shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to
one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible
Security and upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Security. No
further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is
made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Warrant Exercise
Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section
8(b), no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by
reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the
purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any Convertible
Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible
into or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Warrant
Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the
Warrant Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such
Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price,
additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at
the time initially granted, issued or sold and the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be correspondingly readjusted.
For purposes of this Section 8(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or
Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date of this
Warrant are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding
sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed
issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have
been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment pursuant to this
Section 8(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of
the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect.
(c) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For
purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Sections
8(a) and 8(b), the following shall be applicable:
(i) 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, the consideration received therefore will be deemed
to be the net amount received by the Company therefore. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other
than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be
the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists
of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received
by the Company will be the Market Price of such securities on the date of
receipt of such securities. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection
with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of
consideration therefore will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of
the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to
such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The
fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be
determined jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants representing at
least two-thirds (2/3) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants then outstanding. If such parties are unable to reach agreement
within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the
"Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined
within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the
Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the
Company and the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of
the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding.
The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all
parties and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne jointly by
the Company and the holders of Warrants. The Company and the holders of the
Warrants shall each pay one half (1/2) of the cost of the appraiser.
(ii) Integrated Transactions. In case any Option is issued in
connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together
comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is
allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed
to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01.
(iii) 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, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held
will be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(iv) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders
of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or
other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible
Securities or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of
the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or
sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other
distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or
purchase, as the case may be.
(d) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Subdivision or
Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the date of
issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced
and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this
Warrant will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after
the date of issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock
split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and
the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be
proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 8(d) shall
become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or
combination becomes effective.
(e) Distribution of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make
any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its
assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise
(including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other
securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off,
reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a
"Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each
such case:
(i) any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective
as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by
multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the
numerator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading
day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution
(as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) applicable
to one share of Common Stock, and (B) the denominator shall be the Closing
Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such
record date; and
(ii) either (A) the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of
business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the
fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i), or (B) in the
event that the Distribution is of common stock of a company whose common stock
is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation
system, then the holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional warrant to
purchase Common Stock, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this
Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the amount of the
assets that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to
the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to
such record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by which the
exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution
pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).
(f) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by
the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such
provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation
rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the
Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the
Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable
upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of
the Warrants; provided, except as set forth in section 8(d),that no such
adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(f) will increase the Warrant Exercise
Price or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise
determined pursuant to this Section 8.
(g) Notices.
(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise
Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of this
Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation
of such adjustment.
(ii) The Company will give written notice to the holder of this
Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Company closes
its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution
upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to
holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to
any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or liquidation, provided
that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in
conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.
(iii) The Company will also give written notice to the holder of
this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any Organic
Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place, provided that such
information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with
such notice being provided to such holder.
Section 9. Purchase Rights; Reorganization, Reclassification,
Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(a) In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 above, if
at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible
Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property
pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase
Rights"), then the holder of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon
the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights
which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance
or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as
of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the
grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
(b) Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets to another Person or other transaction in each case which is effected
in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either
directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with
respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as an
"Organic Change". Prior to the consummation of any (i) sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other
Organic Change following which the Company is not a surviving entity, the
Company will secure from the Person purchasing such assets or the successor
resulting from such Organic Change (in each case, the "Acquiring Entity") a
written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of
Warrants representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to deliver to each holder of
Warrants in exchange for such Warrants, a security of the Acquiring Entity
evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance
to this Warrant and satisfactory to the holders of the Warrants (including an
adjusted warrant exercise price equal to the value for the Common Stock
reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and exercisable
for a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable
upon exercise of the Warrants without regard to any limitations on exercise,
if the value so reflected is less than any Applicable Warrant Exercise Price
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). Prior to the
consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate
provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of Warrants
representing a majority of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants then outstanding) to insure that each of the holders of the Warrants
will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in
addition to (as the case may be) the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore
issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder's Warrants (without
regard to any limitations on exercise), such shares of stock, securities or
assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with
respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares which would have
been issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder's Warrant as of
the date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any limitations
or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant).
Section 10. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this
Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall promptly,
on receipt of an indemnification undertaking (or, in the case of a mutilated
Warrant, the Warrant), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as
this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
Section 25. Notice. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications
required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant must be in
writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when
delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided
confirmation of receipt is received by the sending party transmission is

cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of
New York.
