(e) Compliance with Securities Laws.
-----------------------------------
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that
this Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof
are being acquired solely for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for
any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or
otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued
upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or
an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws.
(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all
certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof
shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN

AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
(iii) The restrictions imposed by this subsection (e) upon the transfer
of this Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased upon exercise
hereof shall terminate (A) when such securities shall have been effectively
registered under the Securities Act, (B) upon the Issuer's receipt of an opinion
of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer,
addressed to the Issuer to the effect that such restrictions are no longer
required to ensure compliance with the Securities Act or (C) upon the Issuer's
receipt of other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such
registration is not required. Whenever such restrictions shall cease and
terminate as to any such securities, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to
receive from the Issuer (or its transfer agent and registrar), without expense
(other than applicable transfer taxes, if any), new Warrants (or, in the case of
shares of Warrant Stock, new stock certificates) of like tenor not bearing the
applicable legends required by paragraph (ii) above relating to the Securities
Act and state securities laws.
(f) Continuing Rights of ▇▇▇▇▇▇. The Issuer will, at the time of or at
---------------------------
any time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder
hereof or of any shares of Warrant Stock issued upon such exercise, acknowledge
in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such
Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such
exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such
--------
Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the
continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder.
3. Stock Fully Paid: Reservation and Listing of Shares: Covenants.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Stock Fully Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees
----------------
that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges
created by or through Issuer. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that
during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at
all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon
exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to
provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved
-----------
for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder
require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any
federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in
good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to
cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list
any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its
expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of,
all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this
Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under
the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock
which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock
shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or
market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder
of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant
if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such
securities exchange or market by the Issuer.
(c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without
---------
limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the
Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms
and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent
specifically provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its
Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or
modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the
Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect in any way the powers,
preferences or relative participating, optional or other special rights of the
Common Stock or which would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the
Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order
that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and
restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant,
and (iv) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or
consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be
reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.
(d) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence
----------------------------------------
satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such
Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the
right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.
(e) Rights and Obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. The
------------------------------------------------------------------
Warrant Stock are entitled to the benefits and subject to the terms of the
Registration Rights Agreement dated as of even date herewith between the Issuer
and the Holders listed on the signature pages thereof (as amended from time to
time, the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The Issuer shall keep or cause to
be kept a copy of the Registration Rights Agreement, and any amendments thereto,
at its chief executive office and shall furnish, without charge, copies thereof
to the Holder upon request.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The number and
--------------------------------------------------------
kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of
certain events as follows:
(a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation,
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Merger or Sale. (i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do
----------
any of the following (each, a "Triggering Event") (a) consolidate with or merge
into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving
corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to
consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing
or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any
Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of
any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect
a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in
the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that,
upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the
Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled (x) upon the exercise hereof at any
time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant
is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, or is redeemed in connection
with such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the
time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of
the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such
Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would
have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder
had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto,
subject to adjustments and increases (subsequent to such corporate action) as
nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in Section 4
hereof or (y) to sell this Warrant (or, at such Holder's election, a portion
hereof) to the Person continuing after or surviving such Triggering Event, or to
the Issuer (if Issuer is the continuing or surviving Person) at a sales price
equal to the amount of cash, property and/or Securities to which a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock which would otherwise have been delivered upon
the exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled upon the effective date or
closing of any such Triggering Event (the "Event Consideration"), less the
amount or portion of such Event Consideration having a fair value equal to the
aggregate Warrant Price applicable to this Warrant or the portion hereof so
sold.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, the
Issuer will not effect any Triggering Event unless, prior to the consummation
thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver
any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided
herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably
satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer
under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such
Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release
the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant)
and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of Securities, cash
or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection
(a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have
similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person, which
counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, stating that this
Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof
(including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a))
shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which such Person may be
required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any
rights pursuant hereto.
(iii) If with respect to any Triggering Event, the Holder of this Warrant
has exercised its right as provided in clause (y) of subparagraph (i) of this
subsection (a) to sell this Warrant or a portion thereof, the Issuer agrees that
as a condition to the consummation of any such Triggering Event the Issuer shall
secure such right of Holder to sell this Warrant to the Person continuing after
or surviving such Triggering Event and the Issuer shall not effect any such
Triggering Event unless upon or prior to the consummation thereof the amounts of
cash, property and/or Securities required under such clause (y) are delivered to
the Holder of this Warrant. The obligation of the Issuer to secure such right
of the Holder to sell this Warrant shall be subject to such Holder's cooperation
with the Issuer, including, without limitation, the giving of customary
representations and warranties to the purchaser in connection with any such
sale. Prior notice of any Triggering Event shall be given to the Holder of this
Warrant in accordance with Section 11 hereof.
(b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Issuer, at any time while
-------------------------------------
this Warrant is outstanding, shall subdivide or combine any shares of Common
Stock, (i) in case of subdivision of shares, the Warrant Price shall be
proportionately reduced (as at the effective date of such subdivision or, if the
Issuer shall take a record of Holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of so
subdividing, as at the applicable record date, whichever is earlier) to reflect
the increase in the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a
result of such subdivision, or (ii) in the case of a combination of shares, the
Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased (as at the effective date of
such combination or, if the Issuer shall take a record of Holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of so combining, as at the applicable record date,
whichever is earlier) to reflect the reduction in the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding as a result of such combination.
(c) Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Issuer, at any time while
-------------------------------------
this Warrant is outstanding, shall:
(i) Stock Dividends. Pay a dividend in, or make any other distribution to
----------------
its stockholders (without consideration therefor) of, shares of Common Stock,
the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, as at the date the Issuer shall take a
record of the Holders of the Issuer's Capital Stock for the purpose of receiving
such dividend or other distribution (or if no such record is taken, as at the
date of such payment or other distribution), to that price determined by
multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such record date
(or if no such record is taken, then immediately prior to such payment or other
distribution), by a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend
or distribution, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or
distribution (plus in the event that the Issuer paid cash for fractional shares,
the number of additional shares which would have been outstanding had the Issuer
issued fractional shares in connection with said dividends); or
(ii) Other Dividends. Pay a dividend on, or make any distribution of its
----------------
assets upon or with respect to (including, but not limited to, a distribution of
its property as a dividend in liquidation or partial liquidation or by way of
return of capital), the Common Stock (other than as described in clause (i) of
this subsection (c)), or in the event that the Company shall offer options or
rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock, or issue any Common Stock
Equivalents, to all of its holders of Common Stock, then on the record date for
such payment, distribution or offer or, in the absence of a record date, on the
date of such payment, distribution or offer, the Holder shall receive what the
Holder would have received had it exercised this Warrant in full immediately
prior to the record date of such payment, distribution or offer or, in the
absence of a record date, immediately prior to the date of such payment,
distribution or offer.
(d) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under this Section 4.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments in the
Warrant Price hereinbefore provided in Section 4:
(i) Computation of Consideration. The consideration received by the
------------------------------
Issuer shall be deemed to be the following: to the extent that any Additional
Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued for a
cash consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefor, or if
such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered
by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional
Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or
dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the public offering
price, in any such case excluding any amounts paid or receivable for accrued
interest or accrued dividends and without deduction of any compensation,
discounts, commissions, or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for or in
connection with the underwriting thereof or otherwise in connection with the
issue thereof; to the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration
other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the fair
market value of such consideration at the time of such issuance as determined in
good faith by the Board. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the
consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such Common Stock Equivalents,
plus the additional consideration payable to the Issuer upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. In case of the
issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents in payment or satisfaction of any dividend upon any class of Capital
Stock of the Issuer other than Common Stock, the Issuer shall be deemed to have
received for such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied. In
any case in which the consideration to be received or paid shall be other than
cash, the Board shall notify the Holder of this Warrant of its determination of
the fair market value of such consideration prior to payment or accepting
receipt thereof. If, within thirty days after receipt of said notice, the
Majority Holders shall notify the Board in writing of their objection to such
determination, a determination of the fair market value of such consideration
shall be made by an Independent Appraiser selected by the Majority Holders with
the approval of the Board (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld),
whose fees and expenses shall be paid by the Issuer.
(ii) Readjustment of Warrant Price. Upon the expiration or termination of
-------------------------------
the right to convert, exchange or exercise any Common Stock Equivalent the
issuance of which effected an adjustment in the Warrant Price, if such Common
Stock Equivalent shall not have been converted, exercised or exchanged in its
entirety, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and
outstanding by reason of the fact that they were issuable upon conversion,
exchange or exercise of any such Common Stock Equivalent shall no longer be
computed as set forth above, and the Warrant Price shall forthwith be readjusted
and thereafter be the price which it would have been (but reflecting any other
adjustments in the Warrant Price made pursuant to the provisions of this Section
4 after the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent) had the adjustment of the
Warrant Price been made in accordance with the issuance or sale of the number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock actually issued upon conversion, exchange or
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent and thereupon only the number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock actually so issued shall be deemed to have
been issued and only the consideration actually received by the Issuer (computed
as in clause (i) of this subsection (g)) shall be deemed to have been received
by the Issuer.
(iii) Outstanding Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock at any
------------------------
time outstanding shall (A) not include any shares thereof then directly or
indirectly owned or held by or for the account of the Issuer or any of its
Subsidiaries, and (B) be deemed to include all shares of Common Stock then
issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any then outstanding Common
Stock Equivalents or any other evidences of Indebtedness, shares of Capital
Stock or other Securities which are or may be at any time convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or Other Common Stock.
(e) Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case after the Original Issue
-------------------------------------
Date the Issuer shall take any action affecting its Common Stock, other than an
action described in any of the foregoing subsections (a) through (d) of this
Section 4, inclusive, and the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly
protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the
essential intent and principle of this Section 4, then the Warrant Price shall
be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board may in good faith
determine to be equitable in the circumstances.
(f) Adjustment of Warrant Share Number. Upon each adjustment in the Warrant
----------------------------------
Price pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, the Warrant
Share Number shall be adjusted, to the nearest one hundredth of a whole share,
to the product obtained by multiplying the Warrant Share Number immediately
prior to such adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the Warrant Price immediately before giving effect to such
adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately
after giving effect to such adjustment. If the Issuer shall be in default under
any provision contained in Section 3 of this Warrant so that shares issued at
the Warrant Price adjusted in accordance with this Section 4 would not be
validly issued, the adjustment of the Warrant Share Number provided for in the
foregoing sentence shall nonetheless be made and the Holder of this Warrant
shall be entitled to purchase such greater number of shares at the lowest price
at which such shares may then be validly issued under applicable law. Such
exercise shall not constitute a waiver of any claim arising against the Issuer
by reason of its default under Section 3 of this Warrant.
(g) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need not be
---------------------------------
changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind
of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share
-----------------------
Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial
Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable
detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the
method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the
basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant
Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall
cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant
promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder
of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at
the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to one of the national
accounting firms currently known as the "big five" selected by the Holder,
provided that the Issuer shall have ten days after receipt of notice from such
---
Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such
Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of
objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the
preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such
matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty days after submission to it
of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.
The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid by the Issuer.
6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued
------------------
in connection with and exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares,
the Issuer shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the product of
the applicable fraction multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then in effect.
7. Warrant Exercise Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
------------------------------
set forth in this Warrant, at no time may a holder of this Warrant exercise this
Warrant, or a portion hereof, if the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued pursuant to such exercise would exceed, when aggregated with all other
shares of Common Stock owned by such holder at such time, would result in such
holder owning more than 9.99% of all of the Common Stock issued and outstanding
at such time; provided, however, that upon a holder of this Warrant providing
--------
the Issuer with 75 days notice (pursuant to Section 11 hereof) (the "Waiver
Notice") that such holder would like to waive Section 7 of this Warrant with
regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant, this Section 7 will be of no further force or effect with regard to the
number of shares exercisable pursuant to the Warrant, or the applicable portion
thereof, referenced in the Waiver Notice.
