WARRANT
Warrant No. [ ] Date of Original Issuance: December 31, 2002
Electric Fuel Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), hereby
certifies that, for value received, [ ] or its registered assigns (the
"HOLDER"), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of [ ] (1)
shares of common stock, $.01 par value (the "COMMON STOCK"), of the Company
(each such share, a "WARRANT SHARE" and all such shares, the "WARRANT SHARES")
at an exercise price equal to $[ ](2) per share (as adjusted from time
to time as provided in Section 9, the "EXERCISE PRICE"), at any time and from
---------
time to time from and after the date hereof and through and including
December 31, 2007 (the "EXPIRATION DATE"), and subject to the following terms
and conditions:
- --------------
(1) Each Purchaser shall receive three Warrants each for 1,666,700
multiplied by such Purchaser's Percentage.
(2) Warrant I - the Exercise Price shall equal $0.84.
Warrant II - the Exercise Price shall equal $0.89.
Warrant III - the Exercise Price shall equal $0.93.
1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this
-----------
Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings given to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement of even date
herewith to which the Company and the original Holder are parties (the "PURCHASE
AGREEMENT").
2. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant,
-------------------------
upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the "WARRANT
REGISTER"), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to
the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer
--------------------------
of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this
Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed,
to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or
transfer, a new Warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of
this Warrant (any such new Warrant, a "NEW WARRANT"), evidencing the portion of
this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant
evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any,
shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant
by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of
all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
4. Exercise and Duration of Warrants.
-------------------------------------
This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and
from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration
Date. At 6:30 p.m., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of
this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no
value, provided, that if the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the
--------
Expiration Date is greater than 102% of the Exercise Price on the Expiration
Date, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the
extent not previously exercised) on a "cashless exercise" basis at 6:30 P.M. New
York City time on the Expiration Date. The Company may not call or redeem all or
any portion of this Warrant without the prior written consent of the Holder.
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
-----------------------------
(a) To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required
to physically surrender this Warrant unless the aggregate Warrant Shares
represented by this Warrant is being exercised. Upon delivery of the Form of
Election to Purchase to the Company (with the attached Warrant Shares Exercise
Log) at its address for notice set forth herein and upon payment of the Exercise
Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to
purchase hereunder, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three
Trading Days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver
to the Holder, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise,
which, unless otherwise required by the Purchase Agreement, shall be free of
restrictive legends. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder and
subsequent to the date on which a registration statement covering the resale of
the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, use its best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder
2
electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available, provided,
that, the Company may, but will not be required to change its transfer agent if
its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through
the Depository Trust Company. A "DATE OF EXERCISE" means the date on which the
Holder shall have delivered to Company: (i) the Form of Election to Purchase
attached hereto (with the Warrant Exercise Log attached to it), appropriately
completed and duly signed and (ii) if such Holder is not utilizing the cashless
exercise provisions set forth in this Warrant, payment of the Exercise Price for
the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.
(b) If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company
fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required
pursuant to Section 5(a), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such
exercise.
(c) If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails
to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant
to Section 5(a), and if after such third Trading Day and prior to the receipt of
such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or
otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the
Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such
exercise (a "BUY-IN"), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the
amount by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the
amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company
was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue
by (B) the closing bid price of the Common Stock at the time of the obligation
giving rise to such purchase obligation and (2) at the option of the Holder,
either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant
Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the
number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company
timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. The Holder
shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the
Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
(d) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in
accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of
any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any
Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the
Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or
alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of
any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the
Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing
herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it
hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's
failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
3
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates
----------------------------
for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without
charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer
agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such
certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any
certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the
Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may
arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant
Shares upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen
-----------------------
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested.
Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with
such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable
third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested
as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such
mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company's
obligation to issue the New Warrant.
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will
-------------------------------
at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized
but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any
other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into
account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants
---------
that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the
payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms
hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant
--------------------
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from
time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
----------
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this
--------------------------
Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or
otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall
be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of
this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall
4
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs
during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the
calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect
such event.
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this
------------------------
Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i) evidences
of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common
Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe
for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case,
"DISTRIBUTED PROPERTY"), then, at the request of any Holder delivered before
the 90th day after the record date fixed for determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution, the Company will deliver to such Holder,
within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date
of such distribution), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been
entitled to receive in respect of the Warrant Shares for which such Holder's
Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such record date. If
such Distributed Property is not delivered to a Holder pursuant to the preceding
sentence, then upon any exercise of the Warrant that occurs after such record
date, such Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant
Shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion, the Distributed Property that
such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of
Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Warrant Shares
immediately prior to such record date.
(c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is
-------------------------
outstanding, (1) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, (2) the Company effects any sale of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (3)
any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is
completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or
exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (4) the Company
effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or
exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a
"FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION"), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to
receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities,
cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence
of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such
Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then
issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the "ALTERNATE CONSIDERATION").
For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall
be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the
amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common
Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the
Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the
securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it
receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. At the Holder's option and request, any successor to the Company
or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall, either (1) issue to
the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and
consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to
purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon
exercise thereof, or (2) purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase
5
price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if
later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black
Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date
of such request. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and
insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
(e) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to
---------------------------
the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section, the number
of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the
aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant
Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment.
(f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to
------------ ---------
the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares
owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any
such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(g) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant
----------------------
to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such
----------
adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted
Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the
transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company's Transfer Agent.
(h) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or
----------------------------
any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its
Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary,
(ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits
stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the
voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company,
then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material
terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common
Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and
the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such
time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided,
however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such
notice.
6
10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one
--------------------------
of the following manners:
(a) Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately available funds;
-------------
or
(b) Cashless Exercise. At any time after the earlier to occur of the
------------------
Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined
in the Purchase Agreement)) and the date such registration statement filed
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the
Commission, when a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant
Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder or the
prospectus included therein, is not then effective, the Holder may surrender
this Warrant to the Company together with a notice of cashless exercise, in
which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares
determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is
being exercised.
A = the average of the closing prices for the five Trading Days
immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless
exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and
the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on
the date this Warrant was originally issued.
11. Limitation on Exercise.
-----------------------
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon any
exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to
the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other
issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by
such Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership
of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder's for purposes of Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 4.999% of the total number of issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an
Exercise Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it
has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that
issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in such Exercise Notice
is permitted under this paragraph. By written notice to the Company, the Holder
7
may waive the provisions of this Section but (i) any such waiver will not be
effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and
(ii) any such waiver will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder
of Warrants. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common
Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the
amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the
event of a merger or other business combination or reclassification involving
the Company as contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon any
exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to
the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other
issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by
such Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership
of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder's for purposes of Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.999% of the total number of issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an
Exercise Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it
has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that
issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in such Exercise Notice
is permitted under this paragraph. This provision shall not restrict the
number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own
in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such
Holder may receive in the event of a merger or other business combination or
reclassification involving the Company as contemplated in Section 9 of this
Warrant.
12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be
----------------------
issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any
fractional shares which would, otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash
equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price of
one Common Stock as reported on the Trading Market on the date of exercise.
13. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
-------
hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of
transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or
later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading
Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight
courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is
required to be given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if
to the Company, to Electric Fuel Corporation, 632 Broadway, Suite 301, New York,
NY 10012; Facsimile No.: (212) 529-5800, Attn.: Chief Financial Officer and
8
General Counsel, with a copy to Electric Fuel (E.F.L.) Ltd., Western Industrial
Zone, Beit Shemesh 99000, Israel, Facsimile No.: 011-972-2-990-6688, Attn.:
Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel or (ii) if to the Holder, to the
address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or such other
address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in
accordance with this Section.
14. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
--------------
Warrant. Upon 30 days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new
warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent
may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last
address as shown on the Warrant Register.
15. Miscellaneous.
--------------
(a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the
preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any
Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right,
remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only
in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and
assigns.
(b) All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement
and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without
regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that
all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of
the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party
hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting
in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to
the enforcement of this Warrant), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not
to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that such suit, action or
proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party
hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy
thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of
delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this
Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
Each party hereto (including its affiliates, agents, officers, directors and
employees) hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
9
applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated
hereby. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any
provisions of this Warrant, then the prevailing party in such action or
proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys
fees and other actual costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the
remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a
valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable
