5. Registration Rights.
(a) The Company shall advise the Holder or its transferee,
whether the Holder holds this Underwriter's Warrant or has exercised this
Underwriter's Warrant and holds Common Stock and Warrants, or Common Stock
underlying the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares"), by written notice at least 30
days prior to the filing of any post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement or of any new registration statement or post-effective amendment
thereto under the Act, covering any securities of the Company, for its own
account or for the account of others, and will for a period of four years from ,
1999 upon the request of the Holder, include in any such post-effective
amendment or registration statement such information as may be required to
permit a public offering of any of the Common Stock or Warrants issuable
hereunder, and/or the Warrant Shares (the "Registerable Securities"), provided
however that this Section 5(a) is not applicable to any registration statement
by the Company on Forms S-4 or S-8 (including any Form S-3 related to such Form
S-8) or any other comparable form. The Company shall supply prospectuses in
order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registerable
Securities, use its best efforts to register and qualify any of the Registerable
Securities for sale in such states as such Holder reasonably designates,
provided such qualification is not solely for the purpose of subjecting the
Company to jurisdiction in that state or is not unduly burdensome, and do any
and all other acts and things which may be necessary to enable such Holder to
consummate the public sale of the Registerable Securities, and furnish
indemnification in the manner provided in Paragraph 6 hereof. The Holder shall
furnish information reasonably requested by the Company in accordance with such
post-effective amendments or registration statements, including its intentions
with respect thereto, and shall furnish indemnification as set forth in
Paragraph 6. The Company shall continue to advise the Holders of the
Registerable Securities of its intention to file a registration statement or
amendment pursuant to this Paragraph 5(a) until the earlier of (i) , 2003; or
(ii) such time as all of the Registerable Securities have been registered and
sold under the Act.
3
5
(b) If any fifty-one (51%) percent holder (as defined below)
shall give notice to the Company at any time during the four (4) year period
beginning one (1) year from , 1998 to the effect that such holder desires to
register under the Act any Registerable Securities, under such circumstances
that a public distribution (within the meaning of the Act) of any such
Registerable Securities will be involved, then the Company will as promptly as
practicable after receipt of such notice, but not later than thirty (30) days
after receipt of such notice, file a post effective amendment to the current
Registration Statement or a new registration statement pursuant to the Act to
the end that the Registerable Securities may be publicly sold under the Act as
promptly as practicable thereafter and the Company will use its best efforts to
cause such registration to become and remain effective as provided herein
(including the taking of such steps as are necessary to obtain the removal of
any stop order); provided, that such fifty-one (51%) percent holder shall
furnish the Company with appropriate information in connection therewith as the
Company may reasonably request; and provided, further, that the Company shall
not be required to file such a post effective amendment or registration
statement on more than one occasion at its expense. The Company will maintain
such registration statement or post-effective amendment current under the Act
for a period of at least six (6) months from the effective date thereof. The
Company shall supply prospectuses in order to facilitate the public sale of the
Registerable Securities, use its best efforts to register and qualify any of the
Registerable Securities for sale in such states as such holder reasonably
designates, provided such qualification is not solely for the purpose of
subjecting the Company to jurisdiction in that state or is not unduly
burdensome, and furnish indemnification in the manner provided in Paragraph 6
hereof.
(c) The Holder may, in accordance with Paragraphs 5(a) or (b),
at his or its option, and subject to the limitations set forth in Paragraph 1(a)
hereof, request the registration of any of the Registerable Securities in a
filing made by the Company prior to the acquisition of the Securities upon
exercise of this Underwriter's Warrant. The Holder may thereafter exercise the
Warrants at any time or from time to time subsequent to the effectiveness under
the Act of the registration statement in which the Common Stock underlying the
Underwriter's Warrants and Warrants were included.
(d) The term "51% holder," as used in this Paragraph 5, shall
include any owner or combination of owners of Underwriter's Warrants or
Registerable Securities if the aggregate number of Common Shares and Warrant
Shares included in and underlying the Underwriter's Warrants and Registerable
Securities held of record by it or them, would constitute a majority of the
aggregate of such Common Shares and Warrant Shares.
(e) The following provisions of this Paragraph 5 shall also be
applicable:
(i) Within ten (10) days after receiving any notice
pursuant to Paragraph 5(b), the Company shall give notice to the other Holders
of Underwriter's Warrants or Registerable Securities, advising that the Company
is proceeding with such post-effective amendment or registration and offering to
include therein the Registerable Securities of such other Holders, provided that
they shall furnish the Company with all information in connection therewith as
shall be necessary or appropriate and as the Company shall reasonably request in
writing. Following the effective date of such post-effective amendment or
registration, the Company shall, upon the request of any Holder of Registerable
Securities, forthwith supply such number of prospectuses meeting the
requirements of the Act, as shall be reasonably requested by such Holder. The
Company shall use its best efforts to qualify the Registerable Securities for
sale in such states as the 51% holder shall designate, provided such
qualification is not solely for the purpose of subjecting the Company to
jurisdiction in that state or is not unduly burdensome, at such times as the
registration statement is effective under the Act.
(ii) The Company shall bear the entire cost and
expense of any registration of securities initiated by it under Paragraph 5(a)
hereof notwithstanding that the Registerable Securities subject to this
Underwriter's Warrant may be included in any such registration. The Company
shall also comply with one request for registration made by the 51% holder
pursuant to Paragraph 5(b) hereof at the Company's own expense and without
charge to any holder of the Registerable Securities, and with one request at the
expense of the Holders thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Holder whose
Registerable Securities are included in any such registration statement pursuant
to this Paragraph 5 shall, however, bear the fees of any counsel retained by him
and any transfer taxes or underwriting discounts or commissions applicable to
the Registerable Securities sold by him pursuant thereto and, in the case of a
4
6
registration pursuant to Paragraph 5(a) hereof, any additional registration fees
attributable to the registration of such Holder's Registerable Securities.
(iii) If the managing underwriter in any such
underwritten offering shall advise the Company that it declines to include a
portion or all of the Registerable Securities requested by the Holders to be
included in the registration statement, then distribution of all or a specified
portion of the Registerable Securities shall be excluded from such registration
statement (in case of an exclusion as to a portion of such Registerable
Securities, such portion to be allocated among such Holders in proportion to the
respective numbers of Registerable Securities requested to be registered by each
such Holder). In such event the Company shall give the Holder prompt notice of
the number of Registerable Securities excluded. Further, in such event the
Company shall, within six (6) months of the completion of such subsequent
offering, file and use its best efforts to have declared effective, at its sole
expense, a registration statement relating to such excluded securities.
6. Indemnification.
(a) Whenever pursuant to Paragraph 5, a registration statement
relating to any Registerable Securities is filed under the Act, amended or
supplemented, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of the
Registerable Securities covered by such registration statement, amendment or
supplement (such holder hereinafter referred to as the "Distributing Holder"),
each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Act) the
Distributing Holder, and each officer, employee, partner or agent of the
Distributing Holder, if the Distributing Holder is a broker or dealer, against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the
Distributing Holder may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained in any such registration statement or any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus constituting a part thereof or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading; and will reimburse the Distributing
Holder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Distributing
Holder, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be
liable in any such case (i) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in said registration statement,
said preliminary prospectus, said final prospectus or said amendment or
supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
by such Distributing Holder, any other Distributing Holder or any such
underwriter for use in the preparation thereof, and (ii) such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any actual or alleged
untrue statement or omission made in or from any preliminary prospectus, but
corrected in the final prospectus, as amended or supplemented.
(b) Whenever pursuant to Paragraph 5 a registration statement
relating to the Registerable Securities is filed under the Act, or is amended or
supplemented, the Distributing Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each of its directors, each of its of officers who have signed said
registration statement and such amendments and supplements thereto, and each
person, if any, who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Act) against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such
director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in any such registration statement or
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus constituting a part thereof, or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in
each case to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission was made in said registration statement,
said preliminary prospectus, said final prospectus or said amendment or
supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
by such Distributing Holder for use in the preparation thereof; and will
reimburse the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Paragraph 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying
party, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof; but the
omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Paragraph 6.
(d) In case any such action is brought against any indemnified
party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that
it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this
Paragraph 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation.
7. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Securities.
(a) The Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as follows:
(1) In case the Company shall at any time after the
date hereof pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in
shares of Common Stock, then upon such dividend or distribution the Warrant
Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution shall
forthwith be reduced to a price determined by dividing:
(a) an amount equal to the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or
distribution multiplied by the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such
dividend or distribution, by
(b) the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale.
For the purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with the
provisions of this clause (i), the following provisions shall be applicable:
Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or other distribution on any stock of
the Company shall he deemed to have been issued immediately after the opening of
business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution.
(2) In case the Company shall at any time subdivide
or combine the outstanding Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall forthwith be
proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of
combination to the nearest one cent. Any such adjustment shall become effective
at the time such subdivision or combination shall become effective.
(3) Within a reasonable time after the close of each
quarterly fiscal period of the Company during which the Warrant Price has been
adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall:
(a) Deliver to the Underwriter a
certificate signed by the President or Vice President of the Company and by the
Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of
the Company, showing in detail the facts requiring all such adjustments
occurring during such period and the Warrant Price after each such adjustment.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made if the
amount of such adjustment shall be less than $.05, but in such case any
adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried
forward and shall be made at the time and together
6
8
with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment so
carried forward, shall amount to not less than $.05.
(c) In the event that the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in
Common Stock or by a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, then, from and
after the time at which the adjusted Warrant Price becomes effective pursuant to
Subsection (b) of this Section by reason of such dividend or subdivision, the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant
shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares. In the
event that the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is decreased by a
combination of the outstanding Common Stock, then, from and after the time at
which the adjusted Warrant Price becomes effective pursuant to Subsection (b) of
this Section by reason of such combination, the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to
such decrease in the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(d) In case of any reorganization or
reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock (other than a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination), or in case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of
the Company into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in
which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock), or in case of any sale or
conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety
or substantially as an entirety, the holder of each Warrant then outstanding
shall thereafter have the right to purchase the kind and amount of shares of
Common Stock and/or other securities and property receivable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holder of such Warrant
shall then be entitled to purchase; such adjustments shall apply with respect to
all such changes occurring between the date of this Warrant Agreement and the
date of exercise of such Warrant.
(e) Subject to the provisions of this
Section, in case the Company shall, at any time prior to the exercise of the
Warrants, make any distribution of its assets to holders of its Common Stock as
a liquidating or a partial liquidating dividend, then the holder of Warrants who
exercises his Warrants after the record date for the determination of those
holders of Common Stock entitled to such distribution of assets as a liquidating
or partial liquidating dividend shall be entitled to receive for the Warrant
Price per Warrant, in addition to each share of Common Stock, the amount of such
distribution (or, at the option of the Company, a sum equal to the value of any
such assets at the time of such distribution as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company in good faith), which would have been payable to such
holder had he been the holder of record of the Common Stock receivable upon
exercise of his Warrant on the record date for the determination of those
entitled to such distribution.
(f) In case of the dissolution, liquidation
or winding-up of the Company, all rights under the Warrants shall terminate on a
date fixed by the Company, such date to be no earlier than ten (10) days prior
to the effectiveness of such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and not
later than five (5) days prior to such effectiveness. Notice of such termination
of purchase rights shall be given to the last registered holder of the Warrants,
as the same shall appear on the books of the Company maintained by the Warrant
Agent, by registered mail at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination
date.
(g) In case the Company shall, at any time
prior to the expiration of the Warrants and prior to the exercise thereof, offer
to the holders of its Common Stock any rights to subscribe for additional shares
of any class of the Company, then the Company shall give written notice thereof
to the last registered holder thereof not less than thirty (30) days prior to
the date on which the books of the Company are closed or a record date is fixed
for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such subscription rights.
Such notice shall specify the date as to which the books shall be closed or
record date fixed with respect to such offer of subscription and the right of
the holder thereof to participate in such offer of subscription shall terminate
if the Warrant shall not be exercised on or before the date of such closing of
the books or such record date.
7
9
(h) Any adjustment pursuant to the
aforesaid provisions shall be made on the basis of the number of shares of
Common Stock which the holder thereof would have been entitled to acquire by the
exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to the event giving rise to such
adjustment.
(i) Irrespective of any adjustments in the
Warrant Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the
Warrants, Warrants previously or thereafter issued may continue to express the
same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in the similar Warrants
initially issuable pursuant to this Warrant Agreement.
(j) The Company may retain a firm of
independent public accountants (who may be any such firm regularly employed by
the Company) to make any computation required under this Section, and any
certificate setting forth such computation signed by such firm shall be
conclusive evidence of the correctness of any computation made under this
Section.
(k) If at any time, as a result of an
adjustment made pursuant to paragraph (d) above, the holders of a Warrant or
Warrants shall become entitled to purchase any securities other than shares of
Common Stock, thereafter the number of such securities so purchasable upon
exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price for 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 Common Stock contained in
paragraphs (b) and (c).
(l) No adjustment to the Warrant Price or
to the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of such
Warrants will be made, however under the following circumstances:
(i) upon the grant or exercise of any
of the options presently outstanding (or options which may hereafter be granted
and/or exercised) under the Company's Stock Option Plan for officers, directors
and/or employees, consultants and similar situated parties of the Company; or
(ii) upon the sale or exercise of the
Warrants issued to the public pursuant to the ________ __, 1998 Prospectus; or
(iii) upon exercise of this Warrant; or
(iv) upon exercise or sale of the
Warrants issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter's Warrant; or
(v) upon any amendment to or change
in the term of any rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase, or options
for the purchase of Common Stock or convertible securities, including, but not
limited to, any extension of any expiration date of any such right, warrant or
option, any change in any exercise or purchase price provided for in any such
right, warrant or option, any extension of any date through which any
convertible securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or
any change in the rate at which any convertible securities are convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than rights, warrants, options or
convertible securities issued or sold after the close of business on the date of
the original issue of the Common Stock, (i) for presently outstanding
securities, or (ii) for which an adjustment in the Warrant Price then in effect
was theretofore made or required to be made, upon issuance or sale thereof).
8. Fractional Shares.
(a) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of
shares of Common Shares on the exercise of the Warrants subject to this
Underwriter's Warrant. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any
fractional share interests or fractional warrant interests upon the exercise of
any Warrant or Warrants, nor shall it be obligated to issue scrip or pay cash in
lieu of fractional interests, provided, however, that if a holder exercises all
the
8
10
Warrants held of record by such holder, the fractional interests shall be
eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares.
(b) The Holder of this Underwriter's Warrant, by acceptance
hereof, expressly waives his right to receive any fractional share of Common
Stock upon exercise of the Warrants subject to this Underwriter's Warrant.
