registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
("ACT"), and may not be offered or sold except pursuant to (i)
an effective registration statement under the Act, (ii) to the
extent applicable, Rule 144 under the Act (or any similar rule
under such Act relating to the disposition of securities), or
(iii) an opinion of counsel, if such opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the issuer, that an
exemption from registration under such Act is available."
7.2 INCIDENTAL REGISTRATION. If the Company at any time after
the exercise of the Warrant Shares proposes to register any of its securities on
any form (other than a Registration Statement on Form S-8 or any successor form
for securities to be offered to employees of the Company pursuant to any
employee benefit plan), for its own account or for the account of any other
person it shall give notice to BZ of such intention. Upon the written request of
BZ given within twenty (20) days after receipt of any such notice, the Company

request, so as to permit the disposition of the shares so registered in the
manner requested by BZ.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.2, with
respect to an underwritten public offering by the Company, if the managing
underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing or other factors
require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then there
shall be excluded from such registration and underwriting, to the extent
necessary to satisfy such limitation, (i) first, the Warrant Shares requested to
be included in such registration by BZ, and (ii) second, shares held by other
shareholders of the Company who are entitled to have their shares included in
such registration. To the extent Warrant Shares are excluded from such
underwriting, BZ shall agree not to sell its Warrant Shares for such period, not
to exceed 180 days, as may be required by the managing underwriter.
In connection with any underwritten offering, the Company
shall not be required under this Section 7.2 to include any of the Warrant
Shares in such underwriting unless BZ accepts the terms of the underwriting
(including standard indemnities to the underwriters and the Company) as agreed
upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it.
All expenses incurred in connection with any registration
under Section 7.2 shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that BZ
shall pay its pro rata portion of the discounts payable to any underwriter.
BZ shall not be entitled to exercise any right provided for in
this Section 7.2, after two years following the issuance of the Warrant Shares
by the Company. In addition, the right of BZ to request registration pursuant to
Section 7.2 shall terminate upon such date that all Warrant Shares held or
proposed to be sold may immediately be sold under Rule 144 (or any successor
rule) during any sixty-day period.
8. ADJUSTMENTS TO EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SECURITIES.
8.1 SUBDIVISION AND COMBINATION. In case the Company shall at
any time subdivide or combine the outstanding Ordinary Shares, the Exercise
Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or
increased in the case of combination.
8.2 STOCK DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. In case the Company
shall pay a dividend on, or make a distribution of, Ordinary Shares or of the
Company's share capital convertible into Ordinary Shares, the Exercise Price
shall forthwith be proportionately decreased. An adjustment made pursuant to
this Section 8.2 shall be made as of the record date for the subject stock
dividend or distribution.
8.3 ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SECURITIES. Upon each adjustment
of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, the number
of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted
to the nearest full amount by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Ordinary Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and
dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
8.4 DEFINITION OF ORDINARY SHARES. For the purpose of this
Agreement, the term "Ordinary Shares" shall mean (i) the class of shares
designated as Ordinary Shares in the Articles of Association of the Company as
may be amended as of the date hereof, or (ii) any other class of shares
resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Ordinary Shares
consisting solely of changes in nominal value, or from nominal value to no
nominal value, or from no nominal value to nominal value.
8.5 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. In case of any consolidation of
the Company with, or merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into,
or sale by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets to another
corporation (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any
reclassification or change of the outstanding Ordinary Shares), the corporation
formed by such consolidation or merger or acquiror of such assets shall execute
and deliver to BZ a supplemental warrant agreement providing that BZ shall have
the right thereafter (until the expiration of such Warrant) to receive, upon
exercise of such Warrant, the kind and amount of shares receivable upon such
consolidation or merger, by a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares of the
Company for which such Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to
such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such supplemental warrant
agreement shall provide for
adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided in Section
8. The above provision of this Subsection shall similarly apply to successive
consolidations or mergers.
8.6 NO ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE IN CERTAIN CASES. No
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made:
(a) Upon the issuance or sale of the Warrant or the Ordinary
Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant, or the options, rights and
Warrant issued and outstanding on the date hereof; or
(b) If the amount of said adjustment shall be less than 2
cents ($.02) per Ordinary Share, provided, however, that in such case any
adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried
forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent
adjustment which, together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount
to at least 2 cents ($.02) per Ordinary Share.
9. EXCHANGE AND REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES.
Each Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon
the surrender thereof by the registered BZ at the principal executive office of
the Company, for a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date representing
in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of Ordinary Shares in
such denominations as shall be designated by the BZ thereof at the time of such
surrender.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant
Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all
reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of
the Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant
Certificate of like tenor, in lieu thereof.
10. ELIMINATION OF FRACTIONAL INTERESTS.
The Company shall not be required to issue certificates
representing fractions of Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of the Warrant, nor
shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests,
it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be
eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of Ordinary
Shares, or other securities, properties or rights.

of its authorized Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the
exercise of the Warrant, such number of Ordinary Shares or other securities,
properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company

Exercise Price therefor, all Warrant Shares shall be duly and validly issued,
full paid, non-assessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any
shareholders.

shareholder in respect of any meetings of shareholders for the election of
directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a
shareholder of the Company.
