that:
(a) Investment Purpose. Each Buyer is acquiring the
Convertible Debentures and, upon conversion of Convertible Debentures,
the Buyer will acquire the Conversion Shares then issuable, for its own
account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale
in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except
pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act; provided,

the right to dispose of Conversion Shares at any time in accordance
with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such
Conversion Shares or an available exemption under the 1933 Act.

such Buyer's compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth

(d) Information. Such Buyer and its advisors (and his or, its
counsel), if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to

its management. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence
investigations conducted by such
3
Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify,
amend or affect such Buyer's right to rely on the Company's
representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. Such Buyer
understands that its investment in the Convertible Debentures and the
Conversion Shares involves a high degree of risk. Buyer is in a
position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family
relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables Buyer to
obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and

and tax advice, as it has considered necessary to make an informed
investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Convertible
Debentures and the Conversion Shares.
(e) No Governmental Review. Such Buyer understands that no
United States Federal or state agency or any other government or
governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or
endorsement of the Convertible Debentures or the Conversion Shares, or
the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Convertible
Debentures or the Conversion Shares, nor have such authorities passed
upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Convertible
Debentures or the Conversion Shares.

provided in the Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Convertible

with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable,
any resale of such securities under circumstances in which the seller
(or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an
underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require
compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules
and regulations of the SEC there under; and (iii) neither the Company
nor any other person is under any obligation to register such
securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply
with the terms and conditions of any exemption there under. The Company

Shares for, or obtain exemption the Conversion Shares for, sale to the

reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act and
the regulations of the SEC there under, and the Company shall not

the sale of the Convertible Debentures for general corporate purposes.

reasonably necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for

listed, such listing of all Conversion Shares from time to time
issuable under the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall maintain
the Common Stock's authorization for quotation in the over-the counter
market

(h) Corporate Existence. So long as any of the Convertible
Debentures remain outstanding, the Company shall not directly or
indirectly consummate any merger, reorganization, restructuring,
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
or any similar transaction or related transactions (each such
transaction, a "Sale of the Company") unless, prior to the consummation
of a Sale of the Company, the Company makes appropriate provision to
insure that, upon the consummation of such Sale of the Company, each of
the holders of the Convertible Debentures will thereafter have the
right to acquire and receive such shares of stock, securities or assets
as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the
number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and
receivable upon the conversion of such holder's Convertible Debentures
had such Sale of the Company not taken place. In any such case, the
Company will make appropriate provision with respect to such holders'
rights and interests to insure that the provisions of this Section 4(i)
will thereafter be applicable to the Convertible Debentures.

any subsidiary's officers, directors, person who were officers or
directors at any time during the previous two years, stockholders who
beneficially own 5% or more of the Common Stock, or affiliates or with

owns a 5% or more beneficial interest (each a "Related Party"), except
for (a) customary employment arrangements and benefit programs on
reasonable terms, (b) any investment in an affiliate of the Company,
(c) any agreement, transaction, commitment, or arrangement on an
arms-length basis on terms no less favorable than terms which would
have been obtainable from a person other than such Related Party, (d)
any agreement transaction, commitment, or arrangement which is approved
by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, for
purposes hereof, any director who is also an officer of the Company or
any subsidiary of the Company shall not be disinterested
14
director with respect to any such agreement, transaction, commitment,
or arrangement. "Affiliate" for purposes hereof means, with respect to
any person or entity, another person or entity that, directly or
indirectly, (i) has a 10% or more equity interest in that person or
entity, (ii) has 10% or more common ownership with that person or
entity, (iii) controls that person or entity, or (iv) shares common

(j) Warrant Issuances. Subject to the satisfaction of the
terms and condition of this Agreement, Thompson Kernaghan & Company,
Limited, as the Placement Agent will receive on the Closing Date
warrants ("Convertible Warrants") to purchase 250,000 shares of Common
Stock (the "Convertible Warrant Shares") at an exercise price of $2.00
per share. The Warrants shall be exercisable for a period of five (5)
years from the date of issuance and shall be substantially in the form
of the form of Warrant hereto as Exhibit C.
(k) Transfer Agent. The Company covenants and agrees that, in
the event that the Company's agency relationship with the transfer
agent should be terminated for any reason prior to a date which is two
(2) years after the Closing Date, the Company shall immediately appoint
a new transfer agent and shall require that the transfer agent execute
and agree to be bound by the terms of the Irrevocable Instructions to
Transfer Agent.
5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.
The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D to its transfer agent to issue
certificates, registered in the name of the Buyer(s) or its respective
nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares
representing such amounts of Convertible Debentures or Warrants as
specified from time to time by the Buyer(s) to the Company upon
conversion of the Convertible Debentures or the exercise of the
Warrants and payment therefore (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions"). Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares under the 1933 Act, all such certificates shall bear the
restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The
Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable
Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop
transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the
case of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, prior to
registration of such shares under the 1933 Act) will be given by the
Company to its transfer agent and that the Conversion Shares or the
Warrant Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and
records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5 shall
affect in any way the Buyer's obligations and agreement to comply with
all applicable securities laws upon resale of Conversion Shares or the
Warrant Shares. If the Buyer(s) or Warrant holder provides the Company
with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, and
substance to the Company, that registration of a resale by the Buyer(s)
of any of the Conversion Shares, or the Warrant
15
Shares is not required under the 1933 Act, the Company shall permit the
transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant
Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more
certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by the
Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer by vitiating the
intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly,
the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its
obligations under this Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees, in the
event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions
of this Section 5, that the Buyer(s) shall be entitled, in addition to
all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach
and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.
6. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO SELL.
The obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the
Convertible Debentures to the Buyer(s) at the Closing is subject to the
satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following

time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a
specific date) and the Company shall have performed, satisfied and
complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and
conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or

effect and as to such other matters as may be reasonably requested by
the Buyer including, without limitation an update as of the Closing

REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Section 1.1 Form S-1, SB-2 or S-3 Registration Statements.
2
(a) Filing of Registration Statement. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and, within forty- five
(45) calendar days following the date hereof (the "Filing Deadline"), file with
the Commission a registration statement on Form S-1 or SB-2 (or, if the Company
is then eligible, on Form S-3) under the Securities Act (the "Initial
Registration Statement") for the registration for the resale by all Investors
who purchased Convertible Debentures pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement up to 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of
the Convertible Debentures, upon the exercise of Warrants sold to Investors and
up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock covering the resale of the Registrable
Securities issuable pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit Agreement 250,000
shares underlying the warrants issued to Thompson Kernaghan and Company, Ltd.,
to be declared effective and the Company shall cause the Registration Statement
to remain effective until all of the Registrable Securities have been sold.
Prior to the filing of the Initial Registration Statement with the Commission,
the Company shall furnish a copy of the Initial Registration Statement to
Investors, the Placement Agent and Butler Gonzalez, LLP for their review and
comment together with a selling shareholder questionnaire in form prepared by
the Company. Investors, the Placement Agent and Butler Gonzalez, LLP shall
furnish comments on the Initial Registration Statement and an executed selling
shareholder questionnaire to the Company within five (5) days of the receipt
thereof from the Company.
(b) Effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement. The
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (i) to have the Initial
Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission by no later than one
hundred and twenty (120) days after the date hereof (the "Scheduled Effective
Deadline") and (ii) to insure that the Initial Registration Statement and any
subsequent Registration Statement remains in effect throughout the term of this
Agreement as set forth in Section 4.2, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement.
(c) Failure to File or Obtain Effectiveness of the Initial
Registration Statement. In the event the Registration Statement is not filed by
the Company with the Commission by the Filing Deadline, the conversion
percentage to be used in determining the conversion price shall be reduced by an
additional 2% for the first (30) days and every thirty (30) days thereafter the
Registration Statement is not filed.
In the event the Registration Statement is not declared
effective by the SEC by the applicable Scheduled Effective Deadline then the
conversion percentage to be used in determining the conversion price shall be
reduced by an additional 2% for the first (30) days and every thirty (30) days
thereafter the Registration Statement is not declared effective.
In addition if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the
Commission by the applicable Scheduled Effective Deadline, or if after the
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, sales
cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement (whether because of a
failure to keep the Registration Statement effective, to disclose such
information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to the Registration
Statement, to register sufficient shares of Common Stock or otherwise), then, as
partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in or
reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which
3
remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies at law or in equity), the
Company will pay liquidated damages to the Investor in immediately available
funds into an account designated by the Investor an amount equal to two percent
(2%) of the aggregate purchase price of all of the Registrable Securities then
held by the Investor for each thirty (30) calendar day period (prorated for
partial periods) of such Ineffective Period. The payments required by this
Section 1.1(d) shall be made on the first trading day after the expiration of an
Ineffective Period (or if an Ineffective Period shall last more than thirty (30)
calendar days, the expiration of each additional thirty (30) calendar day period
of an Ineffective Period). As used herein, "Ineffective Period shall mean any
period of time following the Scheduled Effective Deadline during which the
Company's Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not
effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing the Company shall not be required to
pay liquidated damages to any Investor in connection with any Ineffective Period
commencing upon the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Registration
Statement and ending upon the date on which such post effective amendment is
declared effective by the Commission.
(d) Liquidated Damages. The Company and the Investor hereto
acknowledge and agree that the sums payable under subsections 1(c) or 1(d) above
shall constitute liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further
acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred is
incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified in
such subsections bear a reasonable relationship to, and are not plainly or
grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred in
connection with any failure by the Company to obtain or maintain the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement, (iii) one of the reasons for the
Company and the Investor reaching an agreement as to such amounts was the
uncertainty and cost of litigation regarding the question of actual damages, and
(iv) the Company and the Investor are sophisticated business parties and have
been represented by sophisticated and able legal counsel and negotiated this
Agreement at arm's length.
ARTICLE II
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
Section 2.1 Filings; Information. The Company will effect the
registration and sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended methods of disposition thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Company in each such case will do the following as expeditiously as possible,
but in no event later than the deadline, if any, prescribed therefore in this
Agreement:
(a) The Company shall (i) prepare and file with the Commission
a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or SB-2 (or, if the Company is then
eligible, Form S-3) within forty- five (45) calendar days from the date hereof
(if use of such form is then available to the Company pursuant to the rules of
the Commission and, if not, on such other form promulgated by the Commission for
which the Company then qualifies, that counsel for the Company shall deem
appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable
Securities to be registered there under in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement and in accordance with
4
the intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities); (ii) use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such filed Registration Statement to

to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or otherwise); (iii) prepare and file with
the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement
and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such
Registration Statement effective for the time period prescribed by Section

to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement
during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the
Investor set forth in such Registration Statement.
(b) The Company shall file all necessary amendments and
supplements to any Registration Statement in order to effectuate the purpose of
this Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(c) No later than ten (10) days prior to filing any amendment
or supplement to the Initial Registration Statement or any subsequent
Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto
(excluding, in each case, amendments deemed to result from the filing of
documents incorporated by reference therein), or such shorter period as is
reasonable under the circumstances, the Company shall deliver to the Investor
and one firm of counsel representing the Investor, in accordance with the notice
provisions of Section 4.8, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to
be filed, together with exhibits thereto, which documents will be subject to
review by the Investor and such counsel, and thereafter deliver to the Investor
and such counsel, in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 4.8, such
number of copies of the Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement
thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto), the prospectus included
in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such
other documents or information as the Investor or counsel may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities.
(d) The Company shall deliver, in accordance with the notice
provisions of Section 4.8, to each seller of Registrable Securities covered by a
Registration Statement such number of conformed copies of such Registration
Statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including
all exhibits and documents incorporated by reference), such number of copies of
the prospectus contained in any Registration Statement (including each
preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus
filed under Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act relating to such
seller's Registrable Securities, and such other documents, as such seller may
reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of its Registrable Securities.
(e) After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company
shall promptly notify the Investor of any stop order issued or threatened by the
Commission in connection therewith and take all reasonable actions required to
prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered.
5
(f) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities under such other
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the
Investor may reasonably request in light of its intended plan of distribution
and (ii) cause the Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by
such other governmental agencies or authorities in the United States as may be
necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and
all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to
enable the Investor to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
in light of its intended plan of distribution; provided, however, that the
Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
paragraph (f), subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or consent
or subject itself to general service of process in any such jurisdiction.
(g) The Company shall immediately notify the Investor upon the
occurrence of any of the following events in respect of a Registration Statement
or related prospectus in respect of an offering of Registrable Securities: (i)
receipt of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state
governmental authority for additional information, amendments or supplements to
such Registration Statement or related prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the
Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or
notification of the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii)
receipt of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification
or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in
any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose; (iv) the happening of any event that makes any statement made in such
Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or
that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, related
prospectus or documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement, it
will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, and that in the case of the related prospectus, it will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (v) the
Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to such
Registration Statement would be appropriate, and the Company will promptly make
available to the Investor any such supplement or amendment to the related
prospectus.
(h) The Company shall enter into customary agreements and take
such other customary actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or
facilitate the disposition by the Investor of such Registrable Securities
(whereupon the Investor may, at its option, require that any or all of the
representations, warranties and covenants of the Company also be made to and for
the benefit of the Investor).
(i) The Company shall make available to the Investor (and will
deliver to Investor's counsel), subject to restrictions imposed by the United
States federal government or any agency or instrumentality thereof, copies of
all correspondence between the Commission and the
6
Company, its counsel or its auditors and will also make available for inspection
by the Investor and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by
the Investor (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all financial and other records,
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the
"Records") as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due
diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's officers and employees to
supply all information reasonably requested by any Inspectors in connection with
a Registration Statement. Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to
be confidential and that it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not
be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is
necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration
Statement or (ii) the disclosure or release of such Records is requested or
required pursuant to oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information
or documents or a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction
or other legal process; provided, however, that prior to any disclosure or
release pursuant to clause (ii), the Inspectors shall provide the Company with
prompt notice of any such request or requirement so that the Company may seek an
appropriate protective order or waive such Inspectors' obligation not to
disclose such Records; and, provided, further, that if failing the entry of a
protective order or the waiver by the Company permitting the disclosure or
release of such Records, the Inspectors, upon advice of counsel, are compelled
to disclose such Records, the Inspectors may disclose that portion of the
Records that counsel has advised the Inspectors that the Inspectors are
compelled to disclose. The Investor agrees that information obtained by it as a
result of such inspections (not including any information obtained from a third
party who, insofar as is known to the Investor after reasonable inquiry, is not
prohibited from providing such information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary
obligation to the Company) shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by
it as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company
unless and until such information has been made generally available to the
public. The Investor further agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure
of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to
the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate
action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential.
(j) The Company shall otherwise comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the Commission, including, without limitation,
compliance with applicable reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.
(k) The Company may require the Investor to promptly furnish
in writing to the Company such information as may be legally required in
connection with such registration including, without limitation, all such
information as may be requested by the Commission or the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). The Investor agrees to provide such
information requested in connection with such registration within five (5)
calendar days after receiving such written request, or such shorter period as is
reasonable under the circumstances, and the Company shall not be responsible for
any delays in obtaining or maintaining the effectiveness of any Registration
Statement caused by the Investor's failure to timely provide such information.
(l) The Company shall use its best efforts either: (i) to
secure the inclusion for quotation on The Nasdaq Stock Market Inc.'s OTC
Bulletin Board Bulletin for such Resgistrable Securities, or (ii) if, despite
the Company's best efforts to satisfy the preceding clause (i), the
7
Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clause (i), to secure the
inclusion for quotation in the "pink sheets" for such Registrable Securities,
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the case of clause (i)
or (ii), to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the NASD, as
such with respect to such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all fees
and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section
2(l).
Section 2.2 Registration Expenses. In connection with each Registration
Statement, the Company shall pay all registration expenses incurred in
connection with the registration there under (the "Registration Expenses"),
including, without limitation: (a) all registration, filing, securities exchange
listing and fees required by the NASD, (b) all registration, filing,
qualification and other fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue
sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company), (c) all word processing, duplicating, printing, messenger and delivery
expenses, (d) the Company's internal expenses (including, without limitation,
all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or
accounting duties), and (e) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company and customary fees and expenses for independent certified public
accountants retained by the Company; but excluding underwriting fees, discounts,
transfer taxes or commissions, if any, attributable to the sale of the
Registrable Securities, which shall be payable by each holder of Registrable
Securities pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities of each
holder that are included under this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
Section 3.1 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, its partners, affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, counsel and duly authorized agents, and each Person or
entity, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, together with the
partners, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, counsel and duly
authorized agents of such controlling Person or entity (collectively, the "
Controlling Persons"), from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability,
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and disbursements and costs and expenses of investigating and defending any such
claim) (collectively, "Damages"), joint or several, and any action or proceeding
in respect thereof to which the Investor, its partners, Affiliates, officers,
directors, employees and duly authorized agents, and any Controlling Person, may
become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, as incurred, insofar as
such Damages (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are
based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus
relating to the Registrable Securities or arises out of, or are based upon, any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, except insofar as any
such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission is
made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
8
furnished to the Company by the Investor which is specifically intended by the
Investor for use in the preparation of any such Registration Statement,
preliminary prospectus or prospectus, and shall reimburse the Investor, its
partners, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, counsel and duly
authorized agents, and each such Controlling Person, for any legal and other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Investor, its partners, Affiliates,
officers, directors, employees, counsel and duly authorized agents, or any such
Controlling Person, as incurred, in investigating or defending or preparing to
defend against any such Damages or actions or proceedings; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be liable to the Investor to the extent that any such
Damages arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission made in
any preliminary prospectus if (i) the Investor failed to send or deliver a copy
of the final prospectus delivered by the Company to the Investor with or prior
to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by the Investor to the
Person asserting the claim from which such Damages arise, and (ii) the final
prospectus would have corrected such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or such omission or alleged omission.
(b) Indemnification by the Investor. The Investor agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates, officers, directors,
employees, counsel and duly authorized agents, and each Controlling Persons of
the Company, from and against any and all Damages, joint or several, and any
action or proceeding in respect thereof to which the Investor, its partners,
Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, counsel and duly authorized agents,
and any such Controlling Person, may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise, as incurred, insofar as such Damages (or actions or proceedings in
respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus relating to the Registrable
Securities or arises out of, or are based upon, any omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, but only to the extent that any such untrue statement,
alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission is made in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the
Investor which is specifically intended by the Investor for use in the
preparation of any such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or
prospectus, and shall reimburse the Company, its partners, Affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, counsel and duly authorized agents, and each such
Controlling Person, for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Investor, its partners, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, counsel and
duly authorized agents, or any such Controlling Person, as incurred, in
investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such Damages or
actions or proceedings.
Section 3.2 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after
receipt by any person or entity in respect of which indemnity may be sought
pursuant to Section 3.1 (an "Indemnified Party") of notice of any claim or the
commencement of any action, the Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against the person or entity against whom such indemnity
may be sought (the "Indemnifying Party"), notify the Indemnifying Party in
writing of the claim or the commencement of such action. In the event an
Indemnified Party shall fail to give such notice as provided in this Section 3.2
and the Indemnifying Party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the
proceeding to which such notice would have related and was prejudiced by the
9
failure to give such notice, the indemnification provided for in Section 3.1
shall be reduced to the extent of any actual prejudice resulting from such
failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the failure
to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from
any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise than under
Section 3.1. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified
Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party thereof, the Indemnifying
Party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it
wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified Indemnifying Party, to assume
the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its
election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party
shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that
the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel to
represent the Indemnified Party and its Controlling Persons who may be subject
to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be
sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be for the account of such Indemnified Party,
unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually
agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of
the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, representation of both parties
by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts
of interest between them, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying
Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or action or separate but
substantially similar or related claims or actions in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with
appropriate local counsel) at any time for all Indemnified Parties, or for fees
and expenses that are not reasonable. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any
claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified
Party is or could have been a party and indemnity is sought hereunder by such
Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of
such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or
proceeding. Whether or not the defense of any claim or action is assumed by the
Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability
for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld.
Section 3.3 Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that
specified in the preceding paragraphs of this Article III (with appropriate
modifications) shall be given by the Company with respect to any required
registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law
or regulation of any governmental authority other than the Securities Act. The
provisions of this Article III shall be in addition to any other rights to
indemnification, contribution or other remedies which an Indemnified Party may
have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise.
Section 3.4 Contribution. If the indemnification and reimbursement
obligations provided for in any section of this Article III is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless the Indemnified Parties in respect of any Damages
referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in
10
lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages as between the
Company on the one hand and the Investor on the other, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of the Investor in
connection with such statements or omissions, as well as other equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the
Investor on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by such party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and the Investor agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.4 were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the
Damages referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating
or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 3.4, the Investor shall in no event be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable
Securities of the Investor were sold to the public (less underwriting discounts
and commissions) exceeds the amount of any damages which the Investor has

notifying the Company that it should subtract from the number of Warrant Shares
Issuable to the holder upon such exercise an amount of Warrant Shares having a

date immediately preceding the date of the subscription notice equal to the
Aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares for which this warrant is being
exercised (a "Cashless Exercise"), and (iii) the surrender of this Warrant, to a
common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such
date, this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this
Warrant in the case of its loss, theft, or destruction); provided that if such
Warrant Shares are to be issued in any name other than that of the registered
holder of this Warrant, such issuance shall be deemed a transfer and the
provisions of Section 7 shall be applicable. In the event of any exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant in compliance with this Section 2, a
certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, in such
denominations as may be requested by the holder hereof and registered in the
name of, or as directed by, the holder, shall be delivered at the Company's
expense to, or as directed by, such holder as soon as practicable after such
rights shall have been so exercised, and in any event no later than five (5)
business days after the Company's receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Aggregate
Exercise Price and this Warrant (or indemnification undertaking with respect to
this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) 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
clause (ii) (B) above, 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, irrespective of the date
of delivery of this Warrant as required by clause (iii) above or the
certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. In the case of a dispute as to the
determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or the Average Market Price of a
security or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall
promptly issue to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not
disputed and shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations
to the holder via facsimile within five (5) business days of receipt of the
holder's subscription notice. If the holder and the Company are unable to agree
upon the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or Average Market Price or
arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares within five (5) business days 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 Average Market 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
3
Company and the holder of the results no later than forty-eight (48) hours from
the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such
investment bank's or accountant's determination or calculation, as the case may
be, shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error and the Company shall be
liable for the costs and expenses related to such determination or calculation.
(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 any event no later than five (5) business days after any exercise and at its
own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to the Warrant
exercised except (i) it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under the Warrant
exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant
is exercised, and (ii) the holder thereof shall be deemed for all corporate
purposes to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares immediately
prior to the close of business on the date on which the Warrant is surrendered
and payment of the amount due in respect of such exercise and any applicable
taxes is made, irrespective of the date of delivery of certificates evidencing
such Warrant Shares, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a
date when the stock transfer books of the Company are properly closed, such
person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such Warrant Shares at the
opening of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer
books are open. Upon presentation of a duly executed Subscription Form in the
Form of Exhibit A to this Warrant, the holder shall be entitled to exercise this
Warrant in whole or in part, if the holder shall have previously exercised and
surrendered this Warrant and the Company shall not have issued a new Warrant
representing the number of shares issuable following such prior exercise.
(c) No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock issued
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole
number.
(d) If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue
to holder on a timely basis as described under this Section 2, a certificate for
the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder is entitled upon the
holder's exercise of this, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies
under this Agreement or otherwise available to such holder pay as additional
damages in cash to such holder for each day such issuance is not timely effected
an amount equal to .25% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of
Common Stock not issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which the holder
is entitled, and (B) the sum derived by subtracting (1) the Warrant exercise
price then in effect, from (2) the average of the closing bid price of the
Common Stock on the last possible date which the Company could have issued
Common Stock, as the case may be, to the holder without violating this Section
2.
(e) The Company shall not effect any exercise of any Warrant and no
holder of any Warrant shall have the right to exercise any Warrant pursuant to
Section 2 to the extent that after giving to such exercise such person (together
with such Persons affiliates) (A) would beneficially owned in excess of 4.9% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock following such conversion and (B) would
have acquired, through exercise of any Warrant or otherwise, in excess of 4.9%
of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such exercise during the
60-day period ending on and including such exercise date. For purposes of the
foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a
person and its affiliates or acquired by a person and its affiliates, as the
case may be, shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of the Warrants
4
with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but
shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
(i) exercise of the remaining, non exercisable Warrants beneficially owned by
such person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the
unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
subject to limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limit contained
herein beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates. Except as set forth
in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this section 2(e), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13 (d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, each Exercise Notice shall constitute a
representation by the holder submitting such Exercise Notice that, after giving
effect to such Exercise Notice (A) the holder will not beneficially own (as
determined in accordance with this Section 2(e)) and (B) during the 60-day
period ending on and including such exercise date, the holder will not have
acquired, through exercise of any Warrant or otherwise, a number of shares of
Common Stock in excess of 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as
reflected in the Company's most recent Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as the case
may be, or more recent public release or other public notice by the Company
setting forth the number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding, but after giving
effect to exercise of any Warrant by such holder since the date as of which such
numbers of outstanding shares of the Common Stock was reported.
Section 3. Covenants as to Common Stock. The Company hereby covenants
and agrees as follows:
(a) This Warrant is, 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 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 secure the listing of the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant upon each national
securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, or
over-the-counter-bulletin board upon which shares of Common Stock are then
listed or quoted (subject to official notice of the over-the-counter bulletin
board of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant) and shall maintain, so long as
any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed or quoted, such listing or
quotation of all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list or obtain quotation on
each such national securities exchange, automated quotation system or
over-the-counter bulletin board, as the case may be, and shall maintain such
listing in quotation 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, automated
quotation system or over-the-counter bulletin board.
(e) The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any
5
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. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any shares of
Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the 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.
(g) If at any time the Company proposes to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own
account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its
securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or their equivalents at such
time relating to securities to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in
connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans) the Company shall
promptly send to the Holder's written notice of the Company's intention to file
a registration statement and of the holder's rights under this section and, if
within five (5) days after receipt of such notice, the holder hereof shall so
request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all
or any part of the Common Stock underlying this Warrant the holder requests to
be registered. If a registration pursuant this section is to be an underwritten
public offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing,
that in their reasonable good faith opinion, marketing or other factors dictate
that a limitation on the number of shares of Company common stock which may be
included in the registration statement is necessary to facilitate and not
adversely affect the proposed offering, then the Company shall include in such
registration : (1) first, all securities the Company proposes to sell for its
own account, (2) second, up to the full number of securities proposed to be
registered for the account of the holders of securities entitled to inclusion of
their securities requested to be registered by the holder hereof and other
holders of securities entitled to participate in the registration, as of the
date hereof, drawn from them pro rata based on the number each has requested to
be included in such registration.
Section 4. Taxes. The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or
taxes attributable to the initial issuance of the Warrant Shares or any
permitted transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any certificates for
Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder hereof or upon
any permitted transfer 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 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
6
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 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 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 (and any assignor shall represent) that it is
acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for its own account for investment
purposes and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any
distribution hereof, and not with any present intention of distributing any of
the same. The holder of this Warrant further represents (and any assignor shall
represent), 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, 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 the Warrant 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 the Warrant shall not violate any
United States Federal 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 permissible 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) This Warrant and the rights granted to the holder hereof are
transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant, together with
a properly executed warrant power in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto;
provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 6 above and Section 7(c) below.
(c) The holder of this Warrant understands that this Warrant has not
been and is not expected to be, registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred
unless (a) subsequently registered thereunder, or (b) such holder shall have
delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form,
scope and substance to the Company, to the effect that the securities to be
sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or
7
transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration. Any sale of such
securities made in reliance on Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act may
be made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule
is not applicable, any resale of such securities under circumstances in which
the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an
underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require
compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder; and neither
the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Series
A Preferred Share Warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws
or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder except as
set forth in Section 7(d) below.
(d) The Company is obligated to register the Warrant Shares for resale
under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated as
of June 12 , 2000, by and between the Company and the Buyers listed on the
signature page thereto (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. In order to prevent
dilution of the rights granted under this Warrant, the Warrant Exercise Price
shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) 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,
re-capitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the 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, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares
of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately
decreased.
(b) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
Any re-capitalization, reorganization reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to another Person or
other similar transaction 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 in "Organic Change." Prior to the consummation of any
Organic Change, the Company will make appropriate provision to insure that, upon
the consummation of such Organic Change, each of the holders of the Warrants
will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of the Common
Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable
with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock
immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the Warrants
had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, the Company will make
appropriate provision with respect to such holders' rights and interests to
insure that the provisions of this Section 8(b) will thereafter be applicable to
the Warrants.
8
(c) Notices.
(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise
