WARRANT
Warrant No.1 Dated: December 28, 2000
Digital Descriptor Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, AJW Partners, LLC or its
registered assigns ("Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth
below, to purchase from the Company up to a total of 200,000 shares of common
stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company (each
such share, a "Warrant Share" and all such shares, the "Warrant Shares") at an
exercise price equal to $.036 per share (as adjusted from time to time as
provided in Section 8, the "Exercise Price"), at any time and from time to time
from and after the date hereof and through and including December 28, 2003 (the
"Expiration Date"), and subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this
Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the
"Warrant Register"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.
The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution
to the Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected
by notice to the contrary.
2. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
(a) The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of
this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the
Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Transfer
Agent, the Escrow Agent or to the Company at its address for notice set forth in
Section 12. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant
to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such
new warrant, a "New Warrant"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so
transferred shall be issued to the transferee and New Warrant evidencing the
remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to
the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee
thereof shall be deemed the acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights
and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
(b) This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereofby
the Holder to the office of the Company at its address for notice set forth in
Section 12 for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right
to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder.
Any such New Warrant will be dated the date of such exchange.
3. Duration and Exercise of Warrants.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder
on any business day before 5:00 P.M., New York City time, at any time and from
time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date.
At 5:00 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this
Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.
Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company may not call or otherwise redeem this
Warrant.
(b) Upon delivery of an executed Form of Election to Purchase,
together with the grid attached hereto as Annex A duly completed and signed, to
the Escrow Agent at its address set forth in the Escrow Agreement and the
Company at its address for notice set forth in Section 12 and upon payment of
the Exercise Price to the Company multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares
that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in the manner provided hereunder,
all as specified by the Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Escrow
Agent shall promptly (but in no event later than 3 business days after the Date
of Exercise (as defined herein) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be
delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names
as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon
such exercise, free of restrictive legends except (i) either in the event that a
registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the
Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective or the Warrant
Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule
144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), or (ii) if this Warrant shall have been issued pursuant to a written
agreement between the original Holder and the Company, as required by such
agreement. Any person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares
shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the
Date of Exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder,
if available, use its best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder
electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions. To effect an exercise
hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant
to the Company unless all the Warrant Shares have been exercised. Exercises
hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the number of Warrant Shares in an
amount equal to the applicable exercise, which shall be evidenced by entries set
forth in the Exercise Schedule. The Holder and the Company shall maintain
records showing the number of Warrant Shares exercised
-2-
and the date of such exercises. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the
records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of
manifest error. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant,
acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph,
following exercise of a portion of this Warrant, the number of shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant may be less than the amount stated on the face
hereof.
A "Date of Exercise" means the date on which the
Escrow Agent shall have received the Form of Election to Purchase completed and
duly signed.
(c) This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its
entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares.
4. Piggyback Registration Rights. This Warrant is subject to
the piggyback registration rights granted under the Registration Rights
Agreement and such piggyback registration rights shall continue until all of the
Holder's Warrant Shares have been sold in accordance with an effective
registration statement or upon the Expiration Date. The Company will pay all
registration expenses in connection therewith.
5. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary
stamp taxes attributable to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay
any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other
than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax
liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or
receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
6. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and
substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and
indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to it. Applicants for a New Warrant under
such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.
7. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that
it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to
issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the
number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the
exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other actual
contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account
the adjustments and restrictions of Section 8). The Company covenants that all
Warrant Shares that shall be so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance
and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms
hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
-3-
8. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment
from time to time as set forth in this Section 8.
(a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding,(i) shall pay a stock dividend (except scheduled dividends paid on
outstanding preferred stock as of the date hereof which contain a stated
dividend rate) or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of
its Common Stock or on any other class of capital stock payable in shares of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares, or (iii) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction
of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury
shares, if any) outstanding after such event. In such event, the number of
Warrant shares issuable under this Warrant shall be equitably adjusted to
reflect such event (e.g. in the event of a 2:1 stock split of the Common Stock,
the number of Warrant shares shall be increased to twice the number available
for purchase prior to the record date for such stock split). Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in
the case of a subdivision or combination, and shall apply to successive
subdivisions and combinations.
(b) In case of any reclassification of the Common
Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
converted into other securities, cash or property, then the Holder shall have
the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant only into the shares of stock and
other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of
Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the Holder
shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or
property equal to the amount of Warrant Shares such Holder would have been
entitled to had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such
reclassification or share exchange. The terms of any such reclassification or
share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder
the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section 8(b)
upon any exercise following any such reclassification or share exchange.
(c) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to holders
of this Warrant) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in
Sections 8(a), (b) and (d)), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be
determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Exercise Price
determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator
shall be such Exercise Price on such record date less the then fair market value
at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so
distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by
the Company's independent certified public accountants that regularly examines
the financial statements of the Company (an "Appraiser").
-4-
(d) If the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as
applicable with respect to Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below), at any
time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or
rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt that is convertible into
or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents")
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share
less than the Exercise Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalent so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price
adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices
or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights issued in connection with
such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price less
than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less
than the Exercise Price), then, at the option of the Holder, the Exercise Price
shall be replaced with the conversion, exchange or purchase price for such
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (including any reset provisions
thereof) at issue. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in
writing, no later than the business day following the issuance of any Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this section, indicating therein the
applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price,
conversion price and other pricing terms
(e) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company of more than
one-half of the assets of the Company (on a book value basis) in one or a series
of related transactions, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to (A)
exercise this Warrant for the shares of stock and other securities, cash and
property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock
following such merger, consolidation or sale, and the Holder shall be entitled
upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of
securities, cash and property as the Common Stock for which this Warrant could
have been exercised immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales
would have been entitled or (B) in the case of a merger or consolidation, (x)
require the surviving entity to issue common stock purchase warrants equal to
the number Warrant Shares to which this Warrant then permits, which newly
warrant shall be identical to this Warrant, and (y) simultaneously with the
issuance of such warrant, the Holder of such warrant shall have the right to
exercise such warrant only into shares of stock and other securities, cash and
property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock
following such merger or consolidation or (C) require the surviving entity from
such merger, acquisition or business combination to pay to the Holder, in cash,
the Black Scholes value of this Warrant. In the case of clause (B), the exercise
price for such new warrant shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash
and property that each share of Common Stock would receive in such transaction
and the Exercise Price of this Warrant immediately prior to the effectiveness or
closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or
consolidation shall include such terms so as continue to give the Holder the
right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section
upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall
similarly apply to successive such events.
(f) For the purposes of this Section 8, the following
clauses shall also be applicable:
-5-
(i) Record Date. In case the Company shall
take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling
them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or
in securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, or (B) to
subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable
into shares of Common Stock, then such record date shall 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.
(ii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or
held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such
shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(g) All calculations under this Section 8 shall be
made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
(h) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant
to Section 8(c) above, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the
Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall
be a nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case the adjustment shall
be equal to the average of the adjustments recommended by each of the Appraiser
and such appraiser. The Holder shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to the
Company, a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and
setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Such
adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned
above.
(i) If:
(i) the Company shall declare a dividend
(or any other distribution) on its
Common Stock; or
(ii) the Company shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a
redemption of its Common Stock; or
(iii) the Company shall authorize the
granting to all holders of the
Common Stock rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any shares
of capital stock of any class or of
any rights; or
(iv) the approval of any stockholders of
the Company shall be required in
connection with any reclassification
of the Common Stock, any
consolidation or merger to which the
Company is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company, or any
compulsory share exchange whereby
the Common Stock is converted into
other securities, cash or property;
or
-6-
(v) the Company shall authorize the
voluntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the affairs of the
Company,
then the Company shall cause to be mailed to each Holder at their last addresses
as they shall appear upon the Warrant Register, at least 20 calendar days prior
to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to
be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be
entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to
be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of
record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation
or winding up; Qrovided, however, that the failure to mail such notice or any
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be specified in such notice.
(j) Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price
pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares of
Common Stock, calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, obtained by
(i) multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately
prior to such adjustment upon the exercise of this Warrant by the Exercise Price
in effect prior to such adjustment, and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by
the Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment of the Exercise Price.
9. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the
Exercise Price in one of the following manners:
(a) Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver
immediately available funds; or
(b) Cashless Exercise. At any time after the
earlier to occur of the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) and the date the initial registration statement filed pursuant
to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the Commission,
when a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and
naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective,
then the Holder may indicate in the Form of Election to Purchase its election to
utilize a "net" or "cashless" exercise to pay for Warrant Shares, and the
Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as
follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A] where:
-7-
X = the number of Warrant Shares
to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the number of Warrant Shares
with respect to which this Warrant
is being exercised.
A = the average of the closing sale
prices of the Common Stock for the
five (5) trading days immediately
prior to (but not including) the
Date of Exercise.
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless
exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and
the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been
commenced, on the issue date.
10. Certain Exercise Restrictions.
(a) A Holder may not exercise this Warrant to
the extent such exercise would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate
thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the
rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.999% of the then issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon such exercise
and held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will
not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock
it may hold at the time of an exercise hereunder, unless the exercise at issue
would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.999% of
the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares
which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the
Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the
restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular exercise
hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation
contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of this
Warrant is exercisable shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder.
If the Holder has delivered a Form of Election to Purchase for a number of
Warrant Shares that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its
affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the
permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and
shall honor the exercise for the maximum portion of this Warrant permitted to be
exercised on such Date of Exercise in accordance with the periods described
herein and, at the option of the Holder, either keep the portion of the Warrant
tendered for exercise in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future
exercises or return such excess portion of the Warrant to the Holder. The
provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and
not to any other Holder) upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company.
Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.
-8-
(b) A Holder may not exercise this Warrant to
the extent such exercise would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate
thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of
the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares
issuable upon such exercise and held by such Holder after application of this
Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the
number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of an exercise
hereunder, unless the exercise at issue would result in the issuance of shares
of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common
Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the
Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and
obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will
limit any particular exercise hereunder and to the extent that the Holder
determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the
determination of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the
responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Form
of Election to Purchase for a number of Warrant Shares that, without regard to
any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would
result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company
shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the exercise for the
maximum portion of this Warrant permitted to be exercised on such Date of
Exercise in accordance with the periods described herein and, at the option of
the Holder, either keep the portion of the Warrant tendered for exercise in
excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future exercises or return such
excess portion of the Warrant to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may
be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon
not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be
unaffected by any such waiver.
11. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to
issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this
Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number
of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any
fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be
issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an amount in
cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
12. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or
deliveries hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective
on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication
is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this
Section prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a business day, (ii) the
business day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is
delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this
Section later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any date and earlier than
11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, (iii) the business day following
the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service,
or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be
given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to the Company, to
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, P A 19030 facsimile: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇,
attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, or (ii) if to the Holder, to the Holder at the
address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or such other
address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in
accordance with this Section.
-9-
13. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent
under this Warrant. Upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Holder, the Company may
appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new
warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation
to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any
corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers
substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall
be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any
such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as
warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder
at the Holder's last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
14. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and
the Holder and their successors and assigns.
(b) Subject to Section 14(a), above, nothing in
this Warrant shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than
the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause under
this Warrant. This Warrant shall inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of the
Company and the Holder.
(c) The corporate laws of the State of Delaware
shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its
stockholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The Company
and the Holder hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan,
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Holder
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by receiving a copy thereof
sent to the Company at the address in effect for notices to it under this
instrument and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either
party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this
Warrant, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be
reimbursed by the other party for its' attorneys fees and other costs and
expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such
action or proceeding.
(d) The headings herein are for convenience
only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit
or affect any of the provisions hereof.
-10-
(e) In case anyone or more of the provisions of
this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good
faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a
