Effective Date and thereafter the only payments and benefits it is entitled to

this Agreement.
c. Mutual Agreements and Covenants.
-------------------------------
No party to this Agreement shall, except as may be mandated by
statutory or regulatory requirements, as may be required by legal process in the
course of actual litigation or in the case of a subpoena, or as may be necessary
for MPI to negotiate an accommodation with
its creditors, disclose to others the fact or terms of this settlement, the
amounts referred to in this Agreement or the fact of the payment of said
amounts, except that each such party may disclose to each such party's
attorneys, accountant or other advisors to whom the disclosure is necessary to
effectuate the purposes for which such party has consulted with such
professional advisors and except that MPI may file this Agreement with any
governmental or regulatory body, describe it and refer to it in any filing it
makes pursuant to federal and state securities laws or to its Board of Directors
or shareholders.
d. Settlement and Payment. In settlement of all defaults, amounts
----------------------
owed, debts, liabilities and other obligations pursuant to, in connection with,
or arising out of the Loan Agreement, the Guarantee and each of their respective
related agreements, letters, documents and instruments:
i. (1) MPI will pay to ST by no later than May 1, 1999 an amount
of US$1,137,044, by wire transfer to ST, in accordance with written wire
transfer instructions it will receive from ST. The date upon which MPI makes
payment in full of the balance of the amount due to ST pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall be the "Release Date." If such payment occurs after May 1, 1999,
there will be no "Release Date" for purposes of this Agreement.
(2) Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, MPI
will deliver to ST fully executed and verified original Confession of Judgment
Documents conforming to those attached as Exhibit A hereto confessing judgment
in the amount of U.S. Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) plus interest and costs.
Steven K. Rose, ST Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel, or his
successor, shall retain the Confession of Judgment Documents on behalf of ST and
shall have responsibility for using the Confession of Judgment Documents only in
accord with this Agreement. If and when MPI makes full, complete and timely
payment of the settlement amount set forth in Section 1(d)(i)(1) above to ST, ST
shall return the Confession of Judgment Documents to MPI. If MPI fails to make
full, complete and timely payment of the settlement amount referenced in Section
1(d)(i)(1) above to ST, ST shall give MPI written notice of MPI's payment
default and demand for cure and performance within 72 hours. If MPI cures its
default within 72 hours of such notices, ST will return the Confession of
Judgment Documents to MPI. If MPI fails to fully, completely and timely cure its
payment default following notice from ST, then ST shall be entitled to
immediately submit the Confession of Judgment Documents to the court and obtain
entry of judgment in accord with the Confession of Judgment Documents without
further notice to MPI.
(3) If MPI fails to make timely, full payment of the
settlement payment set forth in Section 1(d)(i)(1) above, and for any reason ST
is unable to successfully obtain entry of the judgment by confession referenced
in Section 1(d)(i)(2) above, then MPI further agrees to promptly and without
contest stipulate to a judgment against it, in the form attached as Exhibit B
hereto; to deliver an originally, fully executed stipulated judgment to ST along
with this executed Agreement; and to not oppose entry of the stipulated judgment
in any action initiated by ST arising out of MPI's failure to make complete,
timely payment of the settlement payment referenced in Section 1(d)(i)(1) above
referenced in this Agreement following the notice and opportunity to cure
referenced in Section 1(d)(i)(2) above; Steven K. Rose or his successor will
have responsibility for retaining the stipulated judgment and utilizing it only
in accord with the terms of this Agreement, and returning it to MPI upon timely
payment in full by MPI to ST of the amount set forth in Section (d)(i)(1) above.
ii. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, MPI will
issue to ST a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of MPI's common stock ("Common
Shares") at an exercise price of US$1.00 per share, which warrant will be
immediately exercisable and will remain exercisable for seven (7) years from the
date of issuance (the "Warrant"). The Warrant will conform to the documents
attached as Exhibit C hereto.
2. Representations and Warranties.

execute and deliver, and fulfill its obligations under this Agreement and the
Warrant. This Agreement (notwithstanding the lack of approval of MPS), upon
execution and delivery by MPI and assuming due and proper execution and delivery
by ST, and the Warrant will constitute valid and binding obligations of MPI,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as such enforcement may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other laws of general
application affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights.
ii. No consent, approval, order or authorization, or
registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any
federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of MPI is required in

notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event MPS is a necessary party, MPI shall
indemnify ST from any and all damage it incurs as a result of MPS not being a
party to this agreement.
b. ST. ST represents and warrants that:
--
i. It has all requisite corporate power and authority to
execute and deliver, and fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. This

application affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights.
ii. It is the proper assignee of the rights of ST-Singapore
with regard to the Loan Agreement and Guarantee.

facts it believes at the time of this Agreement to be true, and agrees that this
Agreement shall be and will remain effective notwithstanding any such difference
in fact.
b. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found to
------------
be unenforceable, it shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining
provisions and the court shall enforce all remaining provisions to the extent
permitted by law. All parties agree that, notwithstanding the lack of execution
of this Agreement by MPS, this Agreement is valid, binding and enforceable on
all parties.

an inconvenient forum and (iv) agree that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by

h. Remedies. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event of
--------
any dispute in which any party alleges and proves any non-performance or breach
of Section 1.a., 1.b. or 1.c., monetary damages will be an inadequate remedy for
the non-performance or breach of such provision(s), and the non-performing or
breaching party hereby consents in advance to be subject to specific performance
and any other appropriate equitable remedies. The parties acknowledge and agree
under no circumstances will punitive or consequential damages be awarded in
respect of any party's non-performance or breach of any provision of this

other state of facts upon which any claim of any such inaccuracy or breach is
based may also be the subject matter of any other representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (or in any other agreement
between the parties) as to which there is no inaccuracy or breach.

INC., OF JUDGMENT STATEMENT
Plaintiff, [CCP (S) 1132(b)]
v.
MICROELECTRONIC PACKAGING,
INC., ET. AL,
Defendant.
Microelectronic Packaging, Inc. ("MPI") hereby confesses judgment in favor of
STMicroelectronics Inc.. (formerly known as SGS-Thomson Microelectronics Inc.)
(hereinafter "ST"), assignee of STMicroelectronics Pte. Ltd. (formerly known as
SGS-Thomson Microelectronics Pte. Ltd.) (hereinafter ST-Singapore) in the amount
of $4,000,000, plus interest at the legal rate from the date of entry of
judgment by confession, plus costs, and authorizes entry of judgment against MPI
in that sum.
MPI's confession of judgment is for money due and owing by MPI to ST and
arises out of the following facts:
Pursuant to a Supply Guarantee and Preferred Allocation Agreement dated August
17, 1995 by and among MPI, and ST-Singapore, ST-Singapore made a lump sum
advance in the
amount of $4,000,000 to a subsidiary of MPI, and MPI entered into a Deed of
Guarantee and Indemnity dated August 17, 1995 with ST-Singapore pursuant to
which MPI agreed to guarantee the obligations of MPS under the above-referenced
Loan Agreement. MPS has defaulted on its obligations under the Loan Agreement,
giving rise to MPI's obligations under the Guarantee. ST-Singapore has assigned
its rights under the loan agreement and the guarantee to ST. MPI's guarantee
obligation is the basis for the debt due and owing by MPI to ST, and the basis
for the amount as to which MPI confesses judgment against MPI in favor of ST.

to time on or after September 24, 1998. This Warrant shall expire at 5:00 p.m.,

--------------
exercised shall be $1.00 per share of Common Stock, as adjusted from time to
time pursuant to Section 11 hereof (the "Exercise Price"), payable either by
cash or check or by net exercise pursuant to Section 4.d.
3. Number of Shares. The Holder is entitled, subject to the provisions
----------------
of this Warrant, to purchase from the Company an aggregate of two hundred
thousand (200,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the
Company (subject to adjustment as provided herein) (the "Warrant Shares").
4. Exercise of Warrant.
-------------------
a. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the purchase
rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder in whole or in
part, at any time, or from time to time, during the term hereof as described in
Section 1 above, and such exercise shall be effected by the surrender of this
Warrant, the Notice of Paid Exercise annexed hereto and upon payment of the
Exercise Price in cash or by check.
b. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately
prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as
provided above, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as
the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such date. As
promptly as practicable on or after such date, the Company at its expense shall
issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a
certificate or certificates for the number of shares issuable upon such
exercise.
c. Upon any partial exercise of this Warrant, there shall be issued to
the Holder hereof a new Warrant certificate in respect of the Warrant Shares as
to which the Warrant Shares evidenced by this Warrant certificate shall not have
been exercised. This Warrant certificate may be exchanged at the office of the
Company by surrender of this Warrant certificate properly endorsed either
separately or in combination with one or more other Warrant certificates for one
or more new Warrant certificates evidencing the right of the Holder thereof to
purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares as were purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant evidenced by the Warrant certificate or certificates
exchanged. No fractional shares will be issued upon the exercise of any Warrant,
but the Company will pay the cash value thereof determined as provided in this
Warrant. This Warrant certificate is transferable at the office of the Company
in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in this Warrant.
d. In lieu of exercising this Warrant by paying the Exercise Price in
cash or by check, Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this
Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at
the principal office of the Company together with the Notice of Net Exercise
annexed hereto in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock, computed using the following formula:
Where X - The number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued to Holder.
X=(Y)(A-B)
--------
A
Y - The number of shares of Common Stock to be canceled
pursuant to such exercise under this Warrant.
A - The fair market value of one share of the Company's
Common Stock,
B - Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculations).
For purposes of this Section, if the Company is not traded on the NASDAQ
Stock Market, the fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock
shall be the fair market value of such share as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company.
5. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip
-----------------------------
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be
entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price
multiplied by such fraction.
6. No Rights of Shareholder. The Holder shall not be entitled to vote or
------------------------
receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other
securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise
hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to
confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the
Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter
submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent
to any corporate action or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive
dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been
exercised and the shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise hereof
shall have been issued, as provided herein.
7. Transfer of Warrant.
-------------------

----------------
"Warrant Register") containing the names and addresses of the Holder or Holders.
Any Holder of this Warrant or any portion thereof may change his address as

change. Any notice or written communication required or permitted to be given to
the Holder may be delivered or given by mail to such Holder as shown on the
Warrant Register and at the address shown on the Warrant Register. Until this
Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register of the Company, the Company may
treat the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this
Warrant for all purposes.

----------------------------------------------------

without compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws by the
transferor and the transferee (including the delivery of investment

Company). Any Holder of this Warrant or Warrant Shares (i) that is a partnership
or like organization may assign distribute or transfer all or any portion of
such securities to its partners or affiliated entities, or (ii) that is a

such securities to its affiliates, subsidiaries or its parent company or entity,
and, in each case, shall not be obligated to provide the Company with any

assignment, distribution or transfer.
c. Compliance with Securities Laws.
-------------------------------
(1) Authorization. Holder has full power and authority to enter
-------------
into this Warrant, and such Warrant constitutes its valid and legally binding
obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(2) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Warrant has been
---------------------------------
purchased by the Holder for such Holder's own account, not as a nominee or
agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof,
and such Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation
in, or otherwise distributing the same. Such Holder does not have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer, or
grant participation to any person with respect to this Warrant or underlying
shares of Common Stock.
(3) Disclosure of Information. Such Holder acknowledges that it
-------------------------
has received all the information that it has requested in connection with the
purchase of this Warrant, including the Company's filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Holder further represents that it has had an
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company, as well as to
consult its own legal, tax and other advisors, regarding the information
provided and the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant. Holder
represents and warrants that it is prepared to lose its entire interest in this
Warrant and the underlying shares of Common Stock and has not relied on the
Company or any of the Company's advisors in determining whether to make this
investment in the Company.
(4) Investment Experience. Holder acknowledges that it is able
---------------------
to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such
knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in this Warrant and the
underlying shares of Common Stock. Such Holder also represents it has not been
organized for the purpose of acquiring this Warrant.
(5) Accredited Investor.
-------------------
(a) Holder is an "accredited investor" as defined below and
understands the meaning of that term.
(b) The term "accredited investor" as used herein refers to:
i) Any bank as defined in section 3(a)(2) of the Act, or
any savings and loan association or other institution as defined in section
3(a)(5(A) of the Act whether acting in its individual or fiduciary capacity; any
broker dealer registered pursuant to section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934; any insurance company as defined in section 2(13) of the Act; any
investment company registered under the Investment Borrower Act of 1940 or any
business development company as defined in section 2(a)(48) of that Act; any
Small Business Investment Borrower licensed by the U.S. Small Business
Administration under section 301(c) or (d) of the Small Business Investment Act
of 1958; any plan established and maintained by a state, its political
subdivisions, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or its political
subdivisions, for the benefit of its employees, if such plan has total assets in
excess of $5,000,000; any employee benefit plan within the meaning of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, if the investment decision is
made by a plan fiduciary, as defined in section 3(21) of such Act, which is
either a bank, savings and loan association, insurance company, or registered
investment adviser, or if the employee benefit plan has total assets in excess
of $5,000,000 or, if a self-directed plan, with investment decisions made solely
by persons that are accredited investors;
ii) Any private business development company as defined
in section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;
iii) Any organization described in section 501(c)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code, corporation, Massachusetts or similar business trust,
or partnership, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities
offered, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000;
iv) Any director, executive officer, or general partner
of the issuer of the securities being offered or sold, or any director,
executive officer, or general partner of a general partner of that issuer;
v) Any natural person whose individual net worth, or joint
net worth with that person's spouse, at the time of his purchase exceeds
$1,000,000;
vi) Any natural person who had an individual income in
excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with
that person's spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and has a
reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year;
vii) Any trust with total assets in excess of $5,000,000,
not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, whose
purchase is directed by a person who has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the prospective investment or the issuer believes immediately prior to
making any sale that such person comes within this description; or
viii) Any entity in which all of the equity owners are
accredited investors.
As used in this Section, the term "net worth" means the excess of
total assets over total liabilities. For the purpose of determining a person's
net worth, the principal residence owned by an individual should be valued at
fair market value, including the cost of improvements, net of current
encumbrances. As used in this Section, "income" means actual economic income,
which may differ from adjusted gross income for income tax purposes.
Accordingly, the Holder should consider whether it should add any or all of the
following items to its adjusted gross income for income tax purposes in order to
reflect more accurately its actual economic income: any amounts attributable to
tax-exempt income received, losses claimed as a limited partner in any limited
partnership, and deductions claimed for depletion.
(6) Restricted Securities. The Holder understands that this
---------------------
Warrant and underlying Common Stock it is purchasing are characterized as
"restricted securities" under U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are
being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering
and without
registration under such laws and applicable regulations and cannot be resold
without registration under the Act, except in certain limited circumstances. In
this connection, the Holder represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as
currently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed on these
securities by the Act.
(7) Representations by Foreign Investor. The Holder hereby
-----------------------------------
represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of
its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for this Warrant
and underlying shares of Common Stock, including (i) the legal requirements
within its jurisdiction for the purchase of this Warrant and underlying shares
of Common Stock, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such
purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained,
and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant
to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of this Warrant and
underlying shares of Common Stock. The Holder's subscription and payment for,
and its continued beneficial ownership of this Warrant, will not violate any
applicable securities or other laws of its jurisdiction.
(8) Compliance with Securities Laws. Unless otherwise provided
-------------------------------
herein, without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the
Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of this
Warrant or any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof unless
and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to
be bound by the terms of this Warrant, provided and to the extent such sections
are then applicable, and:
(a) There is then in effect a registration statement under
the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such registration statement; or
(b) (1) the Holder shall have notified the Company of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition and (2) the
Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration
of such securities under the Act.
8. Legends. This Warrant and all shares of Common Stock issued upon
-------
exercise hereof will bear one or all of the following legends:
(a) "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD
OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A
REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES, OR DELIVERY OF
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE
SECURITIES THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT."
(b) Any legend required by the laws of the State of California or
other applicable authority, including any legend required by the California
Department of Corporations and Sections 417 and 418 of the California
Corporations Code.
9. Reservation of Stock. The Company covenants that during the term this
--------------------
Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance
of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time, will
take all steps necessary to amend its articles of incorporation to provide
sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant. The Company further covenants that all shares that may be issued upon
the exercise of rights represented by this Warrant, upon exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price, all as set forth
herein, will be free from all taxes, liens, and charges in respect of the issue
thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously
or otherwise specified herein) and will be fully paid and non-assessable. The
Company agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority
to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to
execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of this Warrant.
10. Amendments and Waivers.
----------------------
a. Any term of this Warrant may be amended or waived with the written
consent of the Company and the Holder.
b. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition or provision of
this Warrant, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed
as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.
11. Adjustments. The number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to
-----------
adjustment from time to time as follows:
a. Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If at any time, while this Warrant,
----------------------------
or any portion thereof, is outstanding and unexpired there shall be (i) a
reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or
subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger (other than
a mere reincorporation merger) or consolidation of the Company with or into
another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a
merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the shares of the
Company's capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are
converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of
securities, cash, or otherwise, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company's
properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person,
then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer,
lawful provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the
period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect or
by net exercise pursuant to Section 4.d., the number of shares of stock or other
securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer which a holder of the
shares deliverable upon such exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled
to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, if
this Warrant had been exercised immediately before the consummation of such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further
adjustment as provided in this Section 11. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 11(a) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of
any other corporation which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant. If the per share consideration payable to the Holder hereof for shares
in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or
marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined
in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate
adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors)
shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect
to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that
the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as
reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after
that event upon exercise of this Warrant.
b. Reclassification, etc. If the Company at any time while this
----------------------
Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired shall, by
reclassification of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to
which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different
number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall
thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as
would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the
securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant
immediately prior to such reclassification or other change, and the Exercise
Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further
adjustment as provided in this Section 11.
c. Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at
-------------------------------------------
any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and
unexpired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase
rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the
same class, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such
number of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change
with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under
this Warrant immediately prior to such change, and the Exercise Price for such
securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or
subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.
d. Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or
---------------------------------------------------------
Property. If while this
- --------
Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired the holders of
the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time
shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination
of eligible shareholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment
therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property of the
Company by way of dividend, then and in each case, this Warrant shall represent
the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security
receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any additional
consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock or other
securities or property of the Company which such holder would hold on the date
of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the security receivable
upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the
period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained
such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid
during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such
period by the provisions of this Section 11.
e. Prior Notice of Certain Events. The Company will provide Holder
------------------------------
with notice of any merger, asset sale or dividend not less than ten (10)
business days prior to the record date for such event.
12. Registration of Warrant Shares.
------------------------------
a. With respect to 100,000 of the Warrant Shares during the period
beginning on the date of issuance of this Warrant and ending on the Expiration
Date, and with respect to the remaining 100,000 Warrant Shares during the period
beginning on the second anniversary hereof and ending on the Expiration Date
(the Warrant Shares that are subject to registration at a given time are
referred to herein as the "Registrable Warrant Shares"), the Holder shall have
the right to request the filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 (such
requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares of Registrable
Warrant Shares to be disposed of and the intended methods of disposition of such
shares by such Holder); provided, however, that the Company shall not be
obligated to effect any such registration after the Company has effected two (2)
such registrations pursuant to such a request of the Holders.
b. In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant
to Section 12.a., the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the
initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof. At its
expense, the Company will use its best efforts to:
(1) File such S-3 registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission within 120 days of receive a request pursuant to Section
12.a. and, to the extent practicable, cause such registration statement to be
declared effective within 120 days of such request.
(2) Keep the registration statement effective for six months after
the effective date of such registration statement;
(3) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the

securities covered by such registration statement;
(4) Furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents
incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, as
a Holder from time to time may reasonably request;
(5) Notify the Holder at any time when a prospectus relating to
Registrable Warrant Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act
of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in
such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of
a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the
light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such seller,
prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement
to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing;
(6) Cause all such Registrable Warrant Shares registered pursuant
hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities
issued by the Company are then listed.
