assigns (the "Warrant Holder"), is the owner of the number of Warrants set forth
above, each of which entitles the owner thereof to purchase at any time on or
after the date hereof until the earlier of (i) 5 P.M. (New York time) on October
31, 2006 or (ii) the occurrence of a Termination Event (as defined) (the
"Expiration Date"), at the office of the Company, one fully paid and
nonassessable Ordinary Share, par value $.05 per share ("Ordinary Share"),
represented by one American Depositary Share ("ADS"), evidenced by American
Depository Receipts ("ADRs"), of WARNER CHILCOTT PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY
(formerly named Nale Laboratories public limited company), a public limited
company organized and existing under the laws of Ireland (the "Company"), at the
purchase price and according to the schedule set forth in Section 2 hereof, upon
presentation and surrender of this Warrant Certificate with the Form of Election
to Purchase duly executed. The number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
Certificate (and the number of Ordinary Shares which may be purchased upon
exercise thereof) set forth above, and the Purchase Price per share set forth
above, are the number and Purchase Price as of October 31, 1996, based on the
Ordinary Shares of the Company as constituted at such date.
Section 1. Transfer, Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Warrant
Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Warrant Certificates.
This Warrant Certificate, with or without other Warrant Certificates, may
be transferred or exchanged for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant
Certificates, entitling the Warrant Holder to purchase a like number of Ordinary
Shares as this Warrant Certificate entitles such Warrant Holder to purchase. In
the event that the Warrant Holder desires to transfer, split up, combine or
exchange this Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Holder shall make such request in
writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender this Warrant Certificate
to the Company. Thereupon the Company shall deliver to the person entitled
thereto a Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates, as the case may be, as so
requested. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or governmental
-4-
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, split up,
combination or exchange of this Warrant Certificate. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to cause Warrants to be
transferred on its books to any person, unless the Warrant Holder shall
furnish to the Company evidence of compliance with the Act, in accordance
with the provisions of Section 14 hereof.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this 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 this Warrant
Certificate if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant
Certificate of like tenor to the Warrant Holder in lieu of the Warrant
Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated.
Section 2. Exercise of Warrants; Purchase Price; Expiration of Warrants.
(a) The Warrant Holder may exercise the Warrants evidenced hereby, in whole or
in part, according to the following schedule:
Exercisable number of Warrants = (N x Q x .0625) minus P
Where:
N = total number of Warrants (subject to adjustment pursuant to
Section 5 hereof),
Q = the number of whole calendar quarters which have elapsed
from September 30, 1996, and
P = the number of Warrants (if any) previously exercised
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company and/or a
committee thereof may, at its absolute discretion, declare any Warrants to be
exercisable in whole or in part as from any date earlier than the date upon
which it would otherwise become exercisable. Further, as described more
completely in Section 7 hereof, upon a change of control, consolidation, sale or
merger of the Company, all outstanding Warrants shall become exercisable.
(b) Warrants may be exercised in accordance with the foregoing paragraph
(a) upon surrender of this Warrant Certifi-
-5-
cate with the Form of Election to Purchase, duly executed, to the Company at the
address of the Company, at or prior to the Expiration Date, together with
payment of the Purchase Price (as defined) for each Ordinary Share as to which
the Warrants evidenced hereby are exercised.
(c) The Warrants shall expire prior to October 31, 2006 in the following
cases (each being a "Termination Event"): (1) the death of the Warrant Holder in
which case the personal representative of the deceased Warrant Holder may at any
time or from time to time, but subject to the other provisions of this Warrant
Certificate and in no case later than one year after such death, exercise any
Warrants, but only to the extent that such Warrants were exercisable by the
Warrant Holder at the time of his death, and (2) the Warrant Holder ceases to be
employed by the Company by reason of resignation, dismissal, retirement,
disability or otherwise ("Separation") in which case the Warrant Holder may at
any time, but subject to the other provisions of this Warrant Certificate and in
no case later than thirty days after Separation, exercise any Warrants, but only
to the extent that such Warrants were exercisable by the Warrant Holder at the
date of Separation.
(d) The purchase price for each Ordinary Share pursuant to the exercise of
Warrants evidenced hereby shall initially be $1.00 (the "Purchase Price") but
will be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 hereof and shall be
payable as provided in Section 2(e) hereof.
(e) Upon receipt of this Warrant Certificate, with the Form of Election to
Purchase duly executed, accompanied by payment of the Purchase Price for the
Ordinary Shares to be purchased and an amount equal to any applicable transfer
tax in cash, or by certified check, bank draft or postal or express money order
payable to the order of the Company, the Company shall thereupon promptly (i)
requisition from any transfer agent of the Ordinary Shares of the Company,
certificates for the number of whole Ordinary Shares to be purchased and (ii)
promptly after receipt of such certificates cause the same to be delivered to or
upon the order of the Warrant Holder, registered in such name or names as may be
designated by such Warrant Holder, and, when appropriate, promptly deliver cash
to be paid in lieu of issuance of fractional Ordinary Shares to or upon the
order of the Warrant Holder.
(f) In the event that the Warrant Holder shall exercise less than all the
Warrants evidenced hereby, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing Warrants
equivalent to the Warrants re-
-6-
maining unexercised shall be issued by the Company to the Warrant Holder or to
the Warrant Holder's duly authorized assigns, subject to the provisions of
Section 8 hereof.
Section 3. Reservation and Availability of Ordinary Shares. The Company
covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available at all
times, free from preemptive rights and out of its authorized and available
Ordinary Shares (including treasury shares), the number of Ordinary Shares that
will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants
evidenced hereby.
The Company further covenants and agrees to reserve sufficient ADSs under
the Deposit Agreement, dated as of October 17, 1994 (the "Deposit Agreement"),
among the Company, The Bank of New York, as Depositary, and holders from time to
time of ADRs issued thereunder to permit the deposit thereunder of Ordinary
Shares represented by all Warrants evidenced hereby and the issuance of ADSs
representing such Ordinary Shares. The Company will, upon request of the holder
of the Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby,
deposit such Ordinary Shares on behalf of such holder pursuant to the terms of
the Deposit Agreement and deliver to the holder of such shares the appropriate
number of ADSs evidenced by ADRs.
The Company further covenants and agrees that it will take all such action
as may be necessary to insure that all Ordinary Shares delivered upon exercise
of the Warrants evidenced hereby shall, at the time of delivery of the
certificates for such shares (subject to payment of the Purchase Price) (i) be
duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and nonassessable shares,
and (ii) be issued in compliance with all applicable governmental laws and
regulations.
The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and
payable any and all federal and state taxes and charges which may be payable in
respect of the initial issuance or delivery of any Ordinary Shares, ADSs
representing such Ordinary Shares or ADRs evidencing such ADSs, upon the
exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby. The Company shall not, however, be
required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the transfer or delivery of this Warrant Certificate or the issuance or
delivery of certificates for Ordinary Shares in a name other than that of the
Warrant Holder or to issue or deliver any certificates for Ordinary Shares upon
the exercise of any Warrant evidenced hereby until any such tax shall have been
paid (any such tax
-7-
being payable by the Warrant Holder at the time of surrender) or until it has
been established to the Company's satisfaction that no such tax is due.
Section 4. Ordinary Shares Record Date. The Warrant Holder shall for all
purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of any Ordinary Shares
issued upon exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby on, and the certificate
representing any such Ordinary Shares shall be dated, the date upon which this
Warrant Certificate was duly surrendered and payment of the Purchase Price (and
any applicable transfer taxes) was made; provided, however, that if the date of
such surrender and payment is a date upon which the Ordinary Share transfer
books of the Company are closed, the Warrant Holder shall be deemed to have
become the record holder of such Ordinary Shares on, and such certificate shall
be dated, the next succeeding business day on which the Ordinary Share transfer
books of the Company are open. Prior to the exercise of the Warrants evidenced
hereby, the Warrant Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder
of the Company with respect to Ordinary Shares for which the Warrants evidenced
hereby are exercisable, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to
receive dividends or other distributions or to exercise any preemptive rights,
and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the
Company, except as provided herein or required by law.
Section 5. Adjustment of Purchase Price, Number of Ordinary Shares and
Shares of Capital Stock Warrants Are Exercisable Into. The number and kind of
securities purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant evidenced hereby and
the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
happening of certain events, as hereinafter defined.
(a) Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. In case the Company shall (i)
pay a dividend on its Ordinary Shares, whether of Ordinary Shares or capital
shares of any other class or make any other distribution of Ordinary Shares,
(ii) subdivide its outstanding Ordinary Shares into a greater number of shares
or (iii) combine its outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of
Ordinary Shares, the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon exercise of each
Warrant evidenced hereby immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the
Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive the number of Ordinary Shares which
the Warrant Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the
happening of any of the events described above had such Warrant been exercised
immedi-
-8-
ately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect
thereto.
An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall become effective
immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record
date, if any, for such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever such a payment, subdivision or combination is made.
(b) Adjustment for Other Distributions. In case the Company shall
distribute to all holders of its Ordinary Shares evidences of its indebtedness
(other than evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which
are convertible into or exchangeable for, with or without payment of additional
consideration in cash or property, Ordinary Shares, either upon the occurrence
of a specified date or a specified event (in any case, "Convertible
Securities")), assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions payable out of
consolidated retained earnings and dividends or distributions referred to in
Section 5(a) or in Section 5(c)), shares of capital stock (other than Ordinary
Shares), or rights, options or warrants containing the right to subscribe for or
purchase debt securities, assets or securities of the Company (other than
Convertible Securities or Ordinary Shares) (collectively "Assets"), then in each
case the number of Ordinary Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of
each Warrant evidenced hereby shall be determined by multiplying the number of
Ordinary Shares theretofore purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant
evidenced hereby by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the market price
per Ordinary Share (as defined in Section 5(f)) on the date of such
distribution, and the denominator of which shall be such market price per
Ordinary Share less the fair value as of such record date (as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the Assets
applicable to one Ordinary Share. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any
such distribution is made, and shall become effective on the date of
distribution retroactive to the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. A reclassification of the
Ordinary Shares (other than a change in par value, from par value to no par
value or from no par value to par value) into Ordinary Shares and shares of any
other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the
holders of its Ordinary Shares of such shares of such other class of stock
within the meaning of this Section 5(b) and, if the outstanding Ordinary Shares
shall be changed into larger or smaller number of Ordinary Shares as a part of
such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combina-
-9-
tion, as the case may be, of the outstanding Ordinary Shares within the meaning
of Section 5(a).
No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 5(b) unless, on the
record date for such distribution, the market price per Ordinary Share exceeds
the fair market value of the Assets applicable to each outstanding Ordinary
Share. In the event, and each time, that the Company distributes Assets to all
holders of its Ordinary Shares and the market price per Ordinary Share on the
record date for such distribution is less than or equal to the fair market value
of the Assets applicable to each outstanding Ordinary Share on such date, the
Company shall either (i) distribute Assets to the Warrant Holder on the record
date for such distribution when such Assets are distributed to the holders of
Ordinary Shares as though all Warrants evidenced hereby had been exercised as of
such record date or (ii) deposit such Assets in trust with a trustee. If the
Company elects to distribute Assets to the Warrant Holder, the Company shall, on
the date Assets are distributed to holders of Ordinary Shares, distribute to
such Warrant Holder the Assets that it would have been entitled to receive on
such date if it had exercised the Warrants evidenced hereby immediately prior to
the record date for such distribution. If, however, the Company elects to
deposit the Assets due the Warrant Holder in trust, the Company shall, on the
date Assets are distributed to holders of Ordinary Shares, place in trust the
Assets that the Warrant Holder would have been entitled to receive on such date
if all of the Warrants evidenced hereby had been exercised immediately prior to
the record date for such distribution; and the Warrant Holder shall be entitled
upon exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby to receive the Ordinary Shares
issuable upon exercise thereof, the Assets placed in trust in respect of such
Warrants, and the interest and dividends paid on such Assets since being placed
in trust. In the event any Warrants evidenced hereby have not been exercised
prior to the termination of the Expiration Date, any assets remaining in such
trust after distributions have been made in respect of Warrants exercised shall
be returned to the Company.
(c) Adjustment for Issuance of Ordinary Shares. If at any time after the
date hereof the Company shall (except as hereinafter provided) issue or sell any
Ordinary Shares for consideration in an amount per Ordinary Share less than the
market price per Ordinary Share (as defined in Section 5(f)) in effect
immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the number of Ordinary
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant evidenced hereby shall be
adjusted to
-10-
equal the product obtained by multiplying the number of Ordinary Shares for
which such Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such issue or sale by a
fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares
outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, and (B) the denominator of
which shall be the sum of (1) the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding
immediately prior to such issue or sale, and (2) the aggregate consideration
received from the issuance or sale of such additional Ordinary Shares divided by
the market price per Ordinary Share (as defined in Section 5(f)) in effect
immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale; provided, however, that no
adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 5(c) upon the issuance of
Ordinary Shares (i) in a bona fide public offering pursuant to a firm commitment
or best efforts underwriting, (ii) upon the issuance of up to 500,000 Ordinary
Shares, or ADSs representing such Ordinary Shares, of the Company pursuant to
any employee stock option, purchase or similar plan which may be established by
the Company from time to time providing for options, warrants or similar rights
to purchase Ordinary Shares, or ADSs representing such Ordinary Shares, of the
Company or (iii) upon the issuance of Ordinary Shares pursuant to (A) the
Agreement among the Company, Nale Laboratories Corporation and Bernard J. Berk,
(B) the warrants issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement dated as of October
17, 1994 between the Company and Elan Corporation, plc, (C) the warrants issued
pursuant to the Warrant Agreement dated as of October 17, 1994 between the
Company and Montgomery Securities, (D) the warrants issued pursuant to the
Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of March 28, 1996 by and between the Company
and Warner-Lambert Company or (E) the warrants to purchase in the aggregate
amount 170,000 Ordinary Shares, or ADSs representing such Ordinary Shares,
issued on June 28, 1996 to certain current and former directors of the Company.
(d) Issuance of Warrants or Other Rights. In case the Company shall
distribute to all holders of its Ordinary Shares or shall in any manner (whether
directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Company is the surviving
corporation) issue or sell, any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or
purchase any Ordinary Shares or any Convertible Securities, whether or not the
rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the
price per share for which Ordinary Shares are issuable upon the exercise of such
warrants or other rights or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities plus the price paid to the Company to acquire such warrants, other
rights or Convertible Securities shall be less than the market price per
Ordinary Share (as defined in Section 5(f)) in effect immediately prior to the
time
-11-
of such distribution, issue or sale, then the number of Ordinary Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant evidenced hereby shall be adjusted
as provided in Section 5(c) on the basis that (A) the maximum number of Ordinary
Shares issuable pursuant to all such warrants or other rights or necessary to
give effect to the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities
shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding, (B) the price per share for such
Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to be the lowest possible price per share in any
range of prices per share at which such Ordinary Shares are available to such
holders, and (C) the Company shall have received all of the consideration
payable therefor, if any, as of the date of the actual issuance of such warrants
or other rights; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made pursuant to
this Section 5(d) upon the issuance of any warrants or options or other rights
to subscribe for up to 500,000 Ordinary Shares, or ADSs representing such
Ordinary Shares, of the Company, pursuant to any employee stock option, purchase
or similar plan which may be established by the Company from time to time. No
further adjustments of the number of Ordinary Shares for which any Warrant
evidenced hereby is exercisable shall be made upon the actual issue of such
Ordinary Shares or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such warrants
or other rights or upon the actual issue of such Ordinary Shares upon such
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(e) Adjustments for Issuance of Convertible Securities. In case the
Company shall distribute to all holders of its Ordinary Shares or shall in any
manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Company is
the surviving corporation) issue or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or
not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable,
and the price per share for which Ordinary Shares are issuable upon such
conversion or exchange, plus the price paid to the Company to acquire such
Convertible Security, shall be less than the market price per Ordinary Share (as
defined in Section 5(f)), in effect immediately prior to the time of such
distribution, issue or sale, then the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon
the exercise of each Warrant evidenced hereby shall be adjusted as provided in
Section 5(c) on the basis that (i) the maximum number of Ordinary Shares
necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
Securities shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding, (ii) the price per
share of such Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to be the lowest possible price in
any range of prices at which such Ordinary Shares are available to such holders,
and (iii) the Company shall have received all of the consideration payable
therefor, if any, as of the date of actual issu-
-12-
ance of such Convertible Securities. No adjustment of the number of Ordinary
Shares for which any Warrant evidenced hereby is exercisable shall be made under
this Section 5(e) upon the issuance of any Convertible Securities which are
issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or
purchase rights therefor if any such adjustment shall previously have been made
upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to Section 5(d). No
further adjustments of the number of Ordinary Shares for which any such Warrant
evidenced hereby is exercisable shall be made upon the actual issue of such
Ordinary Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and,
if any issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any
warrant or other right to subscribe for or to purchase any such Convertible
Securities for which adjustments have been or are to be made pursuant to other
provisions of this Section 5, no further adjustments shall be made by reason of
such issue or sale. For the purposes of this Section 5(e), the date as of which
the current market price of Ordinary Shares shall be computed shall be the
earliest of (a) the date on which the Company shall take a record of the holders
of its Ordinary Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any such
Convertible Securities or (b) the date of actual issuance of such Convertible
Securities.
(f) Market Price. For the purpose of any computation under Sections 5(b),
5(c), 5(d), 5(e) and 8(b), the market price per Ordinary Share at any date shall
be the fair value thereof determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of
the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, however, that if the Ordinary
Shares, or ADSs representing such Ordinary Shares, are listed or admitted for
trading on any domestic national securities exchange or quoted in the
over-the-counter market or the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ") National Market System, the market price per
Ordinary Share shall be the average of the daily closing prices for 20
consecutive trading days preceding the date of such computation. The closing
price for each day shall be the last reported sales price regular way or, in
case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices regular way for such day, in each case on the principal
national securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case
may be, are listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to
trading, the average of the last reported sales price or in case no such
reported sales take place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices of the Ordinary Shares in the over-the-counter market as reported by
NASDAQ or the NASDAQ National Market System or any comparable system or, if the
Ordinary Shares are not
-13-
included for quotation in the over-the-counter market or the NASDAQ National
Market System or a comparable system, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices as furnished by two members of the National Association of Securities
Deals, Inc. selected from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company
for that purpose.
(g) When De Minimis Adjustment May Be Deferred. No adjustment in the
number of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants evidenced
hereby shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or
decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of Ordinary Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of each such Warrant; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (g) are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
All calculations shall be made to the nearest one-thousandth of a share.
(h) Adjustment in Purchase Price. Whenever the number of Ordinary Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant evidenced hereby is adjusted as
herein provided, the Purchase Price payable upon exercise of each such Warrant
shall be adjusted by multiplying such Purchase Price immediately prior to such
adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each such Warrant immediately prior to
such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary
Shares purchasable immediately thereafter.
(i) When No Adjustment Required. No adjustment in the number of Ordinary
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant evidenced hereby need be
made under Sections 5(b), 5(d) and 5(e) if the Company issues or distributes to
the Warrant Holder, the Assets, warrants or other rights or Convertible
Securities referred to in those paragraphs which the Warrant Holder would have
been entitled to receive had the Warrants evidenced hereby been exercised prior
to the happening of such event or the record date with respect thereto. No
adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or to no par value of the
Ordinary Shares; provided, however, that the Purchase Price shall at no time be
less than the par value of the Ordinary Shares of the Company, provided,
further, that the Company shall reduce the par value of its Ordinary Shares from
time to time as necessary so that such par value shall not be more than the
Purchase Price then in effect.
(j) Ordinary Shares. For all purposes of this Warrant Certificate, the
term "Ordinary Shares" shall mean (i) the
-14-
class of stock designated as the Ordinary Shares of the Company on October 31,
1996 or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from successive changes or
reclassifications of such shares consisting solely of changes in par value, or
from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value. In the event
that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 5(a),
the Warrant Holder shall become entitled to purchase any securities of the
Company other than Ordinary Shares, thereafter the number of such other shares
so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant evidenced hereby and the Purchase
Price of such shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a
manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with
respect to the Ordinary Shares contained in Sections 5(a) through 5(i) herein,
inclusive, this Section 5(j) and the provisions of Section 2 and Sections 5(m)
and 5(n) herein, with respect to the Ordinary Shares, shall apply on like terms
to any such other securities.
(k) Expiration of Rights, Warrants or Convertible Securities. Upon the
expiration of any rights, warrants or Convertible Securities, if any thereof
shall not have been exercised, exchanged or converted, the Purchase Price and
the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant
evidenced hereby shall, upon such expiration, be readjusted and shall thereafter
be such as it would have been had it been originally adjusted (or had the
original adjustment not been required, as the case may be) as if (A) the only
Ordinary Shares so issued were the Ordinary Shares, if any, actually issued or
sold upon the exercise of such rights or warrants or conversion or exchange of
Convertible Securities and (B) such Ordinary Shares, if any, were issued or sold
for the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise,
conversion or exchange plus the aggregate consideration, if any, actually
received by the Company for the issuance, sale or grant of all of such rights,
warrants or Convertible Securities whether or not exercised, converted or
exchanged, as the case may be; provided, however, that no such readjustment
shall have the effect of increasing the Purchase Price or decreasing the number
of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant evidenced
hereby by an amount in excess of the amount of the adjustment initially made in
respect of the issuance, sale or grant or such rights, warrants or Convertible
Securities.
(l) In the event of any issuance of securities by the Company for
consideration in whole or in part in other than cash, the Board of Directors of
the Company shall determine in
-15-
good faith the value thereof which determination shall be conclusive and
binding.
(m) Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company may at its option, at
any time prior to the Expiration Date, reduce the then current Purchase Price to
any amount deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company;
provided, however, the Company may not in any case increase the Purchase Price
pursuant to this Section 5(m); provided, further, if the Company elects to
reduce the then current Purchase Price, such reduction shall remain in effect
for at least a 30 day period, after which time the Company may, at its option,
reinstate the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such reduction.
(n) Statement on This Warrant Certificate. Irrespective of any adjustments
in the Purchase Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon the
exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby, this Warrant Certificate and Warrant
Certificates hereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number
and kind of shares as are stated hereon.
Section 6. Certification of Adjusted Purchase Price and Number of Shares
Issuable. Whenever the Purchase Price and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable
upon the exercise of each Warrant evidenced hereby are adjusted as provided in
Section 5, the Company shall (a) prepare a certificate signed by its Chief
Executive Officer or a Vice President or other executive officer setting forth
the Purchase Price as so adjusted, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon
the exercise of each Warrant evidenced hereby as so adjusted and a brief
statement of the method of calculation of the adjustment and the facts
