NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. (the "Company" or "Magnitude") was
incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 19, 1988 under the name
Fortunistics Inc. On March 4, 1993, the Company changed its name to
Whitestone Industries, Inc. On July 14, 1997, the Company changed its
name to Proformix Systems, Inc., and on November 18, 1998, the Company
changed its name to Magnitude Information Systems, Inc.
The Company's primary product is an integrated suite of proprietary
software modules marketed under the name ErgoManager(TM) which are
designed to help individual computer users and businesses increase
productivity and reduce the risk of potentially preventable repetitive
stress injury (RSI). These software modules can be applied individually
or together in a comprehensive ergonomic and early intervention program
that seeks to modify a user's behavior by monitoring computer usage
patterns over time and warning the user when to break a dangerous trend
in repetitive usage of an input device, such as a keyboard or mouse.
The product was developed to train people working on computers, monitor
computer-use related activities and evaluate a user's risk exposure and
propensity towards injury or loss of effectiveness in connection with
his/her day-to-day work. Moreover, the software enables a company to
not only address the issue of health risks involving employees and to
minimize resulting potential liabilities, but delivers a powerful tool
to increase overall productivity.
BACKGROUND
On June 24, 1997, the Company, extended a stock exchange offer to
the shareholders of Proformix, Inc., a Delaware corporation and
manufacturer of ergonomic keyboarding systems. Proformix, Inc. in
November 1998 changed its name to Magnitude, Inc. and is now referred
to as Magnitude, Inc.. At the time of this submission, holders of
98.5% of Magnitude, Inc. common stock have tendered their shares. The
business combination which took the form of a reverse acquisition
has been accounted for as a purchase. As a result, the Company and
Magnitude, Inc. remain as two separate legal entities whereby
Magnitude, Inc. operates as a subsidiary of Magnitude Information
Systems, Inc.. The operations of the newly combined entity are
currently comprised solely of the operations of Magnitude, Inc.
On February 2, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger with Rolina Corporation, a privately held New Jersey software
developing firm, and on April 30, 1998, into an Asset Purchase
Agreement with Vanity Software Publishing Co., a Canadian developer of
specialized software, whereby the Company, in return for payments in
form of cash and equity, acquired the rights to certain software
products and related assets, with such software products subsequently
forming the basis for the further development, during the year, of the
Company's proprietary ErgoManager(TM) software system.
On November 18, 1998, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary
Magnitude, Inc. entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement and several
related agreements with 1320236 Ontario Inc. ("OS"), a publicly traded
Canadian designer, manufacturer and distributor of office furniture
based in Holland Landing, Ontario, Canada, pursuant to which OS
acquired Magnitude, Inc.'s hardware product line comprised of the
Company's ergonomic keyboard platform products and accessories, all
related inventory and production tooling and warehousing assets, and
all intellectual property rights including the Proformix name, against
a cash consideration and certain royalty payments on OS' sales of the
Proformix hardware products.

MAGNITUDE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000
Magnitude Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Corporate Ergonomic
Solutions, Inc. (Ergonomics) was incorporated in the State of New
Jersey during October 1992. Ergonomics, which commenced operations in
September 1997, was formed primarily to market hardware products. Its
operations during the last two years have not been significant.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries,
Magnitude, Inc. and Corporate Ergonomic Solutions, Inc.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
Inventories
Inventory consists of finished goods which are stated at the lower of
cost (determined by the first-in, first out method) or market.
Depreciation and Amortization
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on
equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements is
computed on the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of
such assets between 3-10 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
operations as incurred. Software assets are amortized on the straight
line method over 10 years.
Securities Issued for Services
The Company accounts for stock, stock options and stock warrants issued
for services and compensation by employees under the intrinsic value
method. For non-employees, the fair market value of the Company's stock
on the date of stock issuance or option grant is used. Effective
January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation". The
statement generally suggests, but does not require, employee
stock-based compensation transactions be accounted for based on the
fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the equity
instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. As permitted
by the statement, the Company has elected to continue to follow the
requirements of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees' for employees under the intrinsic value
method. The adoption of SFAS No. 123 does not have a material impact on
the financial statements.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and
statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected
to be settled in the Company's income tax return. Certain items of
revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in
different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby
resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized
for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable
income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company
has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and
tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal income tax purposes,
the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation
allowance against the related federal deferred tax asset for the year
ended December 31, 1999. For state income tax purposes, a partial
valuation allowance has been offset against the related state deferred
tax asset for the year ended December 31, 1999.

JUNE 30, 2000
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of Financial
Accounting Standards Board No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" is computed by
dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding during the period. Common Stock equivalents have not
been included in this computation since the effect would be
anti-dilutive.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the licensing of proprietary software products is
recognized at the time of licensing provided that the resulting
receivable is deemed probable of collection.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
DEFERRED TAX ASSET
During 1999, the Company had filed an application with the New Jersey
Economic Development Authority who administers the current New Jersey
Tax Certification program pursuant to the New Jersey Emerging
Technology and Biotechnology Financial Assistance Act to qualify for
and be the beneficiary of this program which will permit a participant
to liquidate its State NOL tax benefits against cash considerations.
The Company has been accepted under this program and has been issued
tax transfer certificates which will, upon liquidation, result in a
cash benefit in the amount stated.
PREPAID EXPENSES
Prepaid expenses include a position of $375,000 resulting from an
agreement in February 1998 with BNN Business News Network Inc., a
nationwide media advertising and radio network company, whereby the
Company purchased advertising time to be utilized on stations
associated with Business News Network Inc., usable over a period of
three years and aggregating $900,000 in retail value, against issuance
of 150,000 new and restricted common shares. The services purchased
were capitalized at the then fair market value of the stock issued, for
a total of $375,000. The resulting asset will be amortized as utilized,
over the time frame of the next fifteen months. As per the date of this
report, no portion of this asset has been utilized. Management believes
that the Company will derive economic benefits commensurate with the
value of this asset. If management were to determine that it may not be
able to economically utilize the entire amount during the time
allotted, it will effect an accelerated amortization or write-down of
this asset position.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations:
The second quarter in 2000 showed a substantial relative increase in
revenues over the first quarter of this year as well as the second quarter in
1999. Although in absolute terms, revenues have not yet grown to a level that
will cover ongoing expenses management considers the sales results for the
period significant insofar as they appear to validate the Company's marketing
strategy of lowering entry barriers by closely cooperating with larger potential
clients in introducing the proprietary ErgoManager(TM) software through pilot
projects at selected worksites, thereby creating the necessary credibility and
awareness of the product's unique potential in the areas of productivity
enhancement and risk reduction with respect to repetitive stress injuries, in
the office environment. Even though relatively time consuming, pilot projects
involving smaller numbers of employees provide a potential client with an
opportunity to test the software's utility and reliability, systems and network
friendliness, and staff acceptance without incurring the perceived risk
associated with an immediate enterprise-wide installation of a new product.
During the quarter, three companies and government agencies have
converted from pilot programs to full deployment of the ErgoManager(TM)
software, two of which, the insurance company 21st Century Insurance Co. and the
California State Controller's Office, are located in the State of California
which in 1998 pioneered legislation that requires businesses to monitor and
manage employees who work on computers in order to mitigate health risks and
which was followed by proposals for similar legislation, in the states of North
Carolina and Washington and by the U.S. Federal OSHA. Although market acceptance
of the Company's products, in management's opinion does not depend on the
passing of such legislation, compliance motivation with respect to actual or
proposed law constitutes an important element in the Company's marketing
strategy.
Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, amounted to $247,981
compared to $65,673 for the same period in 1999 and $100,022 in the first
quarter 2000, all such revenues generated by the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary Magnitude, Inc. from the licensing of the Company's proprietary
ErgoManager(TM) software. Gross profits amounted to $204,261 for a 82% gross
margin. Gross profits are burdened with a fixed charge for amortization of
software investments. Software assets underlying the Company's products are
being amortized on a straight line over 10 years, resulting in a level charge of
approximately $12,000 per month to cost-of-goods-sold. Since variable product
costs are low, the gross margin is expected to further increase as revenues
grow. After deducting selling expenses and general and administrative expenses
of $988,826 the Company realized an operating loss of $784,565, compared to an
operating loss of $681,717 for the second quarter in 1999. Non-operating
expenses totaled $26,465 and include $23,264 net interest expense. The net
result for the quarter was a loss of $811,030 or $0.05 per share, compared to a
loss of $721,961 or $0.09 per share for the same period last year.
The quarter's net result was strongly affected by the continuing
expansion of marketing and sales operations resulting in a sharp increase of
selling expenses, which doubled from the level a year ago. The Company is
undertaking pioneering efforts in educating future customers and the business
community at large about the merits of a pro-active stance in dealing with the
growing level of health risks and potential liabilities associated with
repetitive stress injuries in the computer workplace environment. Management
believes that these efforts are justified by the potential rewards accruing from
this "First to Market" approach which should lead to a strong competitive
advantage and a sizable market share during the years to come. The Company will
continue to invest in a comprehensive marketing campaign with the goal of
accelerating the education of potential clients and promoting the name and
products of the Company. This process, however, takes time and while management
is confident of the ultimate success of its strategy it is not in a position to
predict the timing with any degree of certainty.

As part of its overall marketing strategy, the Company entered into new
joint marketing and distribution agreements with Automated Systems, Inc. (ASI),
the well known high level systems integrator headquartered in Chicago, and
Protegrity Services, Inc., one of the largest privately held workers'
compensation service companies in the United States, serving over 18,000
business customers in 17 states. These partnerships are expected to facilitate
the Company's access to key prospects and accelerate market entry and acceptance
for the Company's software products.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As already reported for the first quarter, the Company during the
second quarter continued receiving new equity investments through private
placements with accredited investors and agreed with certain other investors to
convert larger amounts of debt into equity. These transactions further improved
the balance sheet of the Company and firmed up the Company's financial profile
so that, at June 30, 2000 and in spite of the loss from operations,
stockholders' equity increased to $826,314 compared to $655,233 at the end of
the previous fiscal quarter. During the same time, the working capital deficit
was reduced from $299,658 to $110,594.
In February, the Company had obtained a firm commitment from a previous
investor to act as placement agent for a capital raising effort to obtain new
equity capital of $3 Million through private placement subscriptions by
accredited investors. By June 30, 2000, the Company had received a total of
$2.25 Million under this program. The remaining $.75 Million were originally
also scheduled for the second quarter but have been rescheduled for transfer
during the third quarter of this year. In addition to attracting new capital in
the form of equity investments, the Company between April 1, 2000 and June 30,
2000 has converted an aggregate of $776,750 short-term debt into equity in form
of common stock and convertible preferred stock. These financing transactions
more than offset the negative cash flow from operations of approximately
$1,705,000 during the first six months of the year.
To further augment available financial resources, the Company on July
18, 2000, entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Torneaux Ltd., an
investment fund headquartered in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas (the "Fund"),
which provides for an Equity Draw Down facility which may be utilized by the
Company at its option and whereby the Fund during a period of 14 months if and
when called upon by the Company will purchase newly to be issued and registered
common stock of the Company at discounts ranging from 9.5% to 12% of average
market prices, up to an aggregate total amount of between $1.2 Million and $4.2
Million, depending upon certain market price and other criteria. This
transaction is subject to Board approval which is anticipated to occur within
the next several business days.
Management believes that funds from the above described capital
transactions will provide for adequate liquidity and financial resources
sufficient to cover present and anticipated future operations during the current
fiscal year.

to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries are bound or affected, except, in all
cases, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration,
cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not required under federal, state
or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order
of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in
order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement, or issue and sell the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof

filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to

foregoing including filings incorporated by reference therein being referred to

available to the Purchaser true and complete copies of the Commission Documents
filed with the Commission since June 1, 2000 and prior to the Closing Date. The
Company has not provided to the Purchaser any information which, according to
applicable law, rule or regulation, should have been disclosed publicly by the
Company but which has not been so disclosed, other than with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Form 10-KSB for the year ended

Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated
thereunder and other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations
applicable to such document, and, as of its date, such Form 10-KSB did not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the Commission
Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the
Commission or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis during the periods
involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements
or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the
extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary
statements), and fairly present in all material respects the financial position

unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

hereto set forth each subsidiary of the Company as of the date hereof, showing
the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and showing the percentage
of each person's ownership of the outstanding stock or other interests of such
subsidiary. For the purposes of this Agreement, "subsidiary" shall mean any
corporation or other entity of which at least a majority of the securities or
other ownership interest having ordinary voting power (absolutely or
contingently) for the election of directors or other persons performing similar
functions are at the time owned directly or indirectly by the Company and/or any
of its other subsidiaries. Except as set forth in the Commission Documents or
the Commission Filings, none of such subsidiaries is a "significant subsidiary"
as defined in Regulation S-X.
(h) No Material Adverse Change. Since March 31, 2000, the
Company has not experienced or suffered any Material Adverse Effect, except
continued losses from operations.
(i) No Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither the Company nor any of its

Acknowledgment Regarding Purchaser's Purchase of Shares. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of
arm's length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereunder. The Company further acknowledges that the Purchaser is
not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar
capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereunder and any advice given by the Purchaser or any of its representatives or
agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereunder is merely incidental to the Purchaser's purchase of the Shares.
Section 3.2 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Purchaser. The
Purchaser hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants
to the Company:
(a) Organization and Standing of the Purchaser. The Purchaser is a limited
liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas.
(b) Authorization and Power. The Purchaser has the requisite corporate
power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to purchase the
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by Purchaser and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of the Purchaser, its
Board of Directors or stockholders is required. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by the Purchaser. This Agreement constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation,
conservatorship, receivership, or similar laws relating to, or affecting
generally the enforcement of creditor's rights and remedies or by other
equitable principles of general application.
(c)
No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby or relating hereto do not and will not (i) result in a violation of such
-11-
<PAGE>
Purchaser's charter documents or bylaws or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a
default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a
default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust,
indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to
which the Purchaser is a party, (iii) create or impose any lien, charge or
encumbrance on any property of the Purchaser under any agreement or any
commitment to which the Purchaser is party or by which the Purchaser is on or by
which any of its respective properties or assets are bound or (iv) result in a
violation of any law, rule or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of
any court or governmental agency applicable to the Purchaser or its properties,
except for such conflicts, defaults and violations as would not, individually or
in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the
Purchaser to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement in any
material respect. The Purchaser is not required to obtain any consent,
authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or
governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its
obligations under this Agreement or to purchase the Shares in accordance with
the terms hereof, provided that for purposes of the representation made in this
sentence, the Purchaser is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the
relevant representations and agreements of the Company herein.
(d) Information. The Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been
furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations
of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Shares which
have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser and its advisors, if any,
have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. The
Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered
necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its
acquisition of the Shares. Purchaser understands that it (and not the Company)
shall be responsible for its own tax liabilities that may arise as a result of
this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(e) Acquisition for Investment. The Purchaser is purchasing the Shares
solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to
or for sale in connection with a distribution. The Purchaser has no present
intention to sell the Shares, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally
binding) to effect any distribution of the Shares to or through any person or
entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the
Purchaser does not agree to hold the Common Stock for any minimum or other
specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Common Stock at any time
in accordance with federal and state securities laws applicable to such
disposition.
(f) Sophisticated Investor. The Purchaser is a sophisticated investor (as
described in Rule 506(b) (2) (ii) of Regulation D) and an accredited investor
(as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), and the Purchaser has such experience
in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of an investment in Common Stock. The Purchaser acknowledges that an
investment in the Common Stock is speculative and involves a high degree of
risk.
(h) General. The Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered
and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration
requirement of federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon
the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to
determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of the
Purchaser to acquire the Shares.

supplement to the Purchaser on the corresponding Settlement Date.
Section 4.4 Compliance with Laws. The Company shall comply, and cause each
subsidiary to comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders,
noncompliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
Section 4.5 Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Company shall
keep and cause each subsidiary to keep adequate records and books of account, in
which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Company and its

Section 4.7 Other Agreements. The Company may enter into any other
financing agreement during a Draw Down Pricing Period (an "Other Financing");
provided, however, that such financing shall not be for securities convertible
or exchangeable into Common Stock at a future market price or at a price
determined at a discount to market or contain any repricing or reset provisions
based on a future market price. If the Company enters into an Other Financing,
the Purchaser shall have the option (the "Purchase Option"), which option shall

consent, to (i) purchase up to the same number of shares of Common Stock issued

Other Financing, or (ii) elect not to purchase any Shares during such Draw Down
Pricing Period. If the Purchaser does not exercise its Purchase Option in
writing before 5 p.m., eastern time, on such fifth (5th) calendar day following
the Purchaser's consent to the applicable Other Financing, the Company shall
have the right to close such Other Financing on the scheduled closing date with
a third party; provided that all of the financial terms and conditions of such
closing are the same as those provided to the Purchaser prior to the Purchaser
giving its consent to such Other Financing.

<PAGE>
Section 4.9 No Stop Orders. The Company will advise the Purchaser promptly
and, if requested by the Purchaser, will confirm such advice in writing: (i) of
its receipt of notice of any request by the Commission for amendment of or a
supplement to the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or for additional
information; (ii) of its receipt of notice of the issuance by the Commission of
any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of
the suspension of qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iii) of
its becoming aware of the happening of any event, which makes any statement of a
material fact made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as then
amended or supplemented) untrue or which requires the making of any additions to
or changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as then amended or
supplemented) in order to state a material fact required by the Securities Act
or the regulations thereunder to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
the statements therein not misleading, or of the necessity to amend or
supplement the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) to comply with the
Securities Act or any other law. If at any time the Commission shall issue any
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the
Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of
such order at the earliest possible time.
Section 4.10 Amendments to the Registration Statement. The Company will not
(i) file any amendment to the Registration Statement or make any amendment or
supplement to the Prospectus of which the Purchaser shall not previously have
been advised or to which the Purchaser shall reasonably object after being so
advised or (ii) so long as, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the
Purchaser, a Prospectus is required to be delivered in connection with sales by
any Purchaser or dealer, file any information, documents or reports pursuant to
the Exchange Act without delivering a copy of such information, documents or
reports to the Purchaser promptly following such filing.
Section 4.11 Prospectus Delivery. Prior to any Settlement Date, the Company
will deliver to the Purchaser, without charge, in such quantities as reasonably
requested by the Purchaser, copies of each form of Prospectus. As soon after the
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission and
thereafter from time to time for such period as in the opinion of counsel for
the Purchaser a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in
connection with sales by the Purchaser, the Company will expeditiously deliver
to the Purchaser, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (and of any
amendment or supplement thereto) as the Purchaser may reasonably request. The
Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (and of any amendment or
supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and
with the securities or Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the Shares
may be sold by the Purchaser, in connection with the offering and sale of the
Shares and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus is required by
the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares. If
during such period of time any event shall occur that in the judgment of the
Company or in the opinion of counsel for the Purchaser is required to be set
forth in the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) or should be set forth
therein in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it
-15-
<PAGE>
is necessary to supplement or amend the Prospectus to comply with the Securities
Act or any other law, the Company will forthwith prepare and, subject to the
provisions of Section 4.10 above, file with the Commission an appropriate
supplement or amendment thereto, and will expeditiously furnish to the Purchaser
a reasonable number of copies thereof. The Company shall file a prospectus
supplement to its current Registration Statement on the first business day
immediately following the end of each Settlement Period, and the Company shall
deliver to the Purchaser an appropriate Prospectus and prospectus supplement on

that, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then owned by the
Purchaser beneficially or deemed beneficially owned by the Purchaser, would
result in the Purchaser owning more than 9.9% of all of such Common Stock as
would be outstanding on such Settlement Date, as determined in accordance with
Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. For
purposes of this Section 5.3(h), in the event that the amount of Common Stock
outstanding as determined in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and
the regulations promulgated thereunder is greater on a Settlement Date than on
the date upon which the Draw Down Notice associated with such Settlement Date is
given, the amount of Common Stock outstanding on such Settlement Date shall
govern for purposes of determining whether the Purchaser, when aggregating all
purchases of Common Stock made pursuant to this Agreement would own more than
9.9% of the Common Stock following such Settlement Date.
(i) No Knowledge. The Company shall have no knowledge of any event more
likely than not to have the effect of causing the Registration Statement to be
suspended or otherwise ineffective (which event is more likely than not to occur
within the 25 trading days following the trading day on which the Draw Down
Notice is deemed delivered.)
(j) Other. On each Settlement Date, the Purchaser shall have received a
certificate in substantially the form and substance of Exhibit B hereto,
executed by an executive officer of the Company to the effect that all the
conditions to such Settlement Date shall have been satisfied as at the date of
each such certificate.

ARTICLE VI
Draw Down Terms
Section 6.1 Draw Down Terms. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
(a) The Company, may, in its sole discretion, issue a Draw Down Notice with
respect to a draw down (a "Draw Down") of $100,000 if the Threshold Price is
equal to $1.00, and an additional $50,000 for every $0.50 increase of the
Threshold Price above $1.00 up to $3.50 for a maximum Draw Down Amount of
$350,000, which Draw Down Amount may be increased to a maximum of $612,500 in
accordance with clause (l) of this Section 6.1, and which Draw Down the
Purchaser will be obligated to accept. Prior to issuing any Draw Down Notice,
the Company shall have Shares representing at least the Draw Down Amount
registered under the Registration Statement.
(b) The number of Shares to be issued in connection with each Draw Down
shall be equal to the sum of the quotients (for each trading day of the Draw
Down Pricing Period for which the VWAP equals or exceeds the Threshold Price) of
(x) 1/20th (or such other fraction based upon the agreed upon Draw Down Pricing
Period) of the Draw Down Amount divided by (y) (A) the applicable Draw Down
Discount Percentage multiplied by (B) the VWAP for such day.
(c) Only one Draw Down shall be allowed in each Draw Down Pricing Period.
Each Draw Down Pricing Period shall consist of two (2) periods of ten (10)
consecutive trading days (each, a "Settlement Period").
(d) The number of Shares purchased by the Purchaser with respect to each
Draw Down shall be determined on a daily basis during each Draw Down Pricing
Period and settled on the second business day following the end of each
Settlement Period (the "Settlement Date").
(e) There shall be a minimum of five (5) trading days (or such other number
of trading days mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Company) between
Draw Downs.
(f) There shall be a maximum of twelve (12) Draw Downs during the term of
this Agreement.
(g) Each Draw Down will expire on the last trading day of each Draw Down
Pricing Period.
(h) For each trading day during the Draw Down Pricing Period that the VWAP
is at or above the Threshold Price, 1/20th (or such other fraction based upon
the agreed upon Draw Down Pricing Period) of the Draw Down Amount shall be
allocated to purchase Shares at a price equal to the product of (x) the Draw
Down Discount Percentage multiplied by (y) the VWAP for such day. If the VWAP on
a given trading day is less than the Threshold Price, then the amount of the
Draw Down for the relevant Draw Down Pricing Period shall be reduced by 1/20th
(or such other fraction, based upon the agreed upon Draw Down
19
<PAGE>
Pricing Period). At no time shall the Threshold Price be set below $1.00 unless
agreed upon by both parties. If trading in the Company's Common Stock is
suspended for any reason for more than three (3) hours in any trading day, the
price of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be below the Threshold Price for
that trading day and the Draw Down Amount for the relevant Draw Down Pricing
Period will be reduced by 1/20th.
(i) The Company must inform the Purchaser via facsimile transmission as to
the Draw Down Amount the Company wishes to exercise before commencement of
trading on the first trading day of the Draw Down Pricing Period (the "Draw Down
Notice"), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In addition to
the Draw Down Amount, the Company shall set the Threshold Price and shall
designate the first trading day of the Draw Down Pricing Period with each Draw
Down Notice.
(j) On each Settlement Date, the Company shall deliver the Shares purchased
by the Purchaser during the Settlement Period to the Purchaser or its designees
via the Purchaser's prime broker account through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission system (DWAC), and upon receipt of the Shares, the Purchaser shall
cause payment therefor to be made to the Company's designated account by wire
transfer of immediately available funds provided that the Shares are received by
the Purchaser no later than 1:00 p.m., eastern time, or next day available funds
if the Shares are received thereafter.
(k) If on the Settlement Date, the Company fails to deliver the Shares to
be purchased by the Purchaser, and such failure continues for ten (10) trading
days, the Company shall pay, in cash or restricted shares of Common Stock
(subject to the Company's compliance with applicable securities laws), at the
option of the Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, to the
Purchaser an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the Draw Down Amount for the
initial thirty (30) days and each additional thirty (30) day period thereafter
until such failure has been cured, which shall be pro rated for such periods
less than thirty (30) days (the "Periodic Amount"). Cash payments to be made
pursuant to this Section 6.1(k) shall be due and payable immediately upon demand
in immediately available cash funds. Certificates evidencing the restricted
shares of Common Stock shall be delivered immediately upon demand. The parties
agree that the Periodic Amount represents a reasonable estimate on the part of
the parties, as of the date of this Agreement, of the amount of damages that may
be incurred by the Purchaser if the Company fails to deliver the Shares on the
Settlement Date. If the Purchaser elects to receive shares of Common Stock
instead of cash, the Purchaser shall have the right to demand registration once
within twelve (12) months of the date of issuance of such shares of Common Stock
and piggyback registration rights if the Company files a separate registration
statement.
(l) Average Volume Option. Upon receipt of a Draw Down Notice, the
Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may increase the Draw Down Amount stated in
such Draw Down Notice by (i) 25% if the average volume for the 10 trading days
preceding the date of the Draw Down Notice of the Company's Common Stock (the
"Average Volume") exceeds 200,000 shares per day; (ii) 50% if the Average Volume
exceeds 400,000 shares per day; and 75% if the Average Volume exceeds 600,000
shares per day.
20
<PAGE>
(m) Escrow. Prior to issuing a Draw Down Notice, the Company shall place in
escrow, with an entity designated by the Purchaser (the "Escrow Agent"), such
number of shares of Common Stock as will equal the maximum number of Shares
which the Purchaser could purchase during the Draw Down Pricing Period. The
shares of Common Stock subject to such escrow shall be released by the Escrow
Agent to the Purchaser only in the event the Company fails to deliver the Shares
on the relevant Settlement Date. The Purchaser's obligation to purchase the
Shares on the Settlement Date shall be contingent upon the fulfillment of the
Company of the escrow requirements contained in this Section 6.1(m). The
Purchaser may, at its sole discretion, waive the escrow requirements contained
in this Section 6.1(m) at any time prior to the relevant Settlement Date.
ARTICLE VII
Legends
Section 7.1 Legend. Unless otherwise provided below, each certificate
representing the Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially
in the following form (the "Legend"):
THESE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE
"SECURITIES") HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THAT ACT AND UNDER
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR MAGNITUDE INFORMATION
SYSTEMS, INC. (THE "COMPANY") SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF
ITS COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THAT ACT
AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS
NOT REQUIRED.
As soon as practicable after the execution and delivery hereof, the
Company shall issue to the transfer agent instructions in substantially the form
of Exhibit D hereto. Such instructions shall be irrevocable by the Company from
and after the date thereof or from and after the issuance thereof. It is the
intent and purpose of such instructions, as provided therein, to require the
transfer agent to issue to the Purchaser, at the Purchaser's option, via DWAC or
in the form of certificates evidencing the Shares incident to a Draw Down and
issued on a Settlement Date, free of the Legend, without consultation by the
transfer agent with the Company or its counsel and without the need for any
further advice or instruction or documentation to the Transfer Agent by or from
the Company or its counsel or the Purchaser; provided, that (a) the Registration
Statement shall then be effective, (b) the Purchaser confirms to the transfer
agent and the Company that it has or intends to sell such Shares to a third
party that is not an affiliate of the Purchaser or the Company and the Purchaser
agrees to redeliver the certificate representing such Shares to the transfer
21
<PAGE>
agent to add the Legend in the event the Shares are not sold, and (c) if
reasonably requested by the transfer agent or the Company, the Purchaser
confirms to the transfer agent and the Company that the Purchaser has complied
with the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act. At any time
after the date the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the
Commission, upon surrender of one or more certificates evidencing Common Stock
that bear the Legend, to the extent accompanied by a notice requesting the
issuance of new certificates free of the Legend to replace those surrendered,
the transfer agent shall reissue such shares of common stock via DWAC or free of
Legend. If the transfer agent fails to deliver the Shares on the Settlement
Date, then the Company shall pay liquidated damages to the Purchaser in the
amount of 2% of the purchase price of the Shares to be delivered on such
Settlement Date.
Section 7.2 No Other Legend or Stock Transfer Restrictions. No legend other
than the one specified in Section 7.1 has been or shall be placed on the share
certificates representing the Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants and no instructions or "stop transfer orders," so
called, "stock transfer restrictions," or other restrictions have been or shall
be given to the Company's transfer agent with respect thereto other than as
expressly set forth in this Article VII.
Section 7.3 Purchaser's Compliance. Nothing in this Article VII shall
affect in any way the Purchaser's obligations under any agreement to comply with
all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Shares and the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
ARTICLE VIII
Termination
Section 8.1 Termination by Mutual Consent. The term of this Agreement shall
be fifteen (15) months from the date on which the Commission declares the
Registration Statement effective (the "Investment Period"). This Agreement may
be terminated at any time by mutual consent of the parties.
Section 8.2 Other Termination. The Purchaser may terminate this Agreement
upon one (1) day's notice (v) if the Company issues convertible debentures or
enters an equity financing facility without the Purchaser's prior written
consent, or (w) if an event resulting in a Material Adverse Effect or a Material
Change of Control in Ownership has occurred, or (x) the Registration Statement
is not declared effective within 120 days following the Filing Date, or (y)
there shall occur any stop order or suspension of the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement for an aggregate of five (5) trading days during the
Investment Period, for any reason other than deferrals or suspension during a
blackout period as a result of corporate developments subsequent to the Closing
Date that would require such Registration Statement to be amended to reflect
such event in order to maintain its compliance with the disclosure requirements
of the Securities Act, or (z) the Company shall at any time fail to comply with
the requirements of Section 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 hereof.
Section 8.3 Effect of Termination. In the event of
termination by the Company or the Purchaser, written notice thereof shall
forthwith be given to the other party and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall be terminated without further action by either party. If this
Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 8.1 or 8.2 herein, this Agreement
shall become void and of no further force and effect, except as provided in
Section 10.9. Nothing in this Section 8.3 shall be deemed to release the Company
22
<PAGE>
or the Purchaser from any liability for any breach under this Agreement, or to
impair the rights of the Company and the Purchaser to compel specific
performance by the other party of its obligations under this Agreement.
ARTICLE IX
Indemnification
Section 9.1 General Indemnity.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold
harmless the Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the
Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all
reasonable attorney's fees) to which the Purchaser and each person, if any, who
controls the Purchaser may become subject, under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon, (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained, or
incorporated by reference, in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus
relating to the shares being sold to the Purchaser, or any amendment or
supplement to it, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in that
Registration Statement or any document incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement, a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided that the
Company shall not be liable under this Section 9.1(a) to the extent that a court
of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment that such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or
failures to act, undertaken or omitted to be taken by the Purchaser or such
person through its bad faith or willful misconduct; provided, however, that the
foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement,
any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto).
The Company will reimburse the Purchaser and each such controlling
person promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably
incurred by the Purchaser or the controlling person in investigating, defending
against, or preparing to defend against any such claim, action, suit or
proceeding, except that the Company will not be liable to the extent a claim or
action which results in a loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out
of, or is based upon, an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or
alleged omission, included in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus in
reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by the
Purchaser to the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus.
23
<PAGE>
(b) Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Purchaser will indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against any
expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all
reasonable attorneys fees) to which the Company and any director or officer of
the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Prospectus or (ii) the omission or alleged
omission to state in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, the untrue statement,
alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission was made in reliance
upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by the Purchaser to
the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, and the
Purchaser will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer or
controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses
reasonably incurred by the Company or the other person in investigating,
defending against, or preparing to defend against any such claim, action, suit
or proceeding.
Section 9.2 Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after a person
receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the person
intends to seek indemnification under paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 9.1, the
person will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or
commencement of the action, suit or proceeding, but failure to notify the
indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under
paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 9.1, except to the extent it has been materially
prejudiced by the failure to give notice. The indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding
as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the indemnifying party
acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the party against whom the
claim or action is brought, the indemnifying party may (but will not be required
to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with
counsel satisfactory to it. After an indemnifying party notifies an indemnified
party that the indemnifying party wishes to assume the defense of a claim,
action, suit or proceeding the indemnifying party will not be liable for any
legal or other expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the
defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the
opinion of counsel to the indemnifying party, one or more of the indemnified
parties should be separately represented in connection with a claim, action,
suit or proceeding the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and
expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties. Each indemnified
party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Paragraph (a)
or (b) or Section 9.1, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the
indemnifying party in the defense of any action or claim as to which
indemnification is sought. No indemnifying party will be liable for any
settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent. No
indemnifying party will, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to
which an indemnified party is, or is informed that it may be, made a party and
for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement
includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability
and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action.
24
<PAGE>
If for any reason the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is
not available to, or is not sufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in
respect of any loss or liability referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section
9.1, each indemnifying party will, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified
party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a
result of the loss or liability, (i) in the proportion which is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand
and by the indemnified party on the other from the sale of stock which is the
subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding which resulted in the loss or
liability or (ii) if that allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits of the
sale of stock, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party with respect to the statements or omissions which are the
subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding that resulted in the loss or
liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
ARTICLE X
Miscellaneous

the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and
the Purchaser consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for

entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby
and, except as specifically set forth herein, neither the Company nor the

EXHIBIT A TO THE
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
OPINION OF COUNSEL
1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has the
requisite corporate power to own and operate its properties and assets, and to
carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company and each such
subsidiary is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in
good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary.
2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter
into and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and to issue and
sell the Common Stock, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares"). The execution, delivery and performance
of the Purchase Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all
necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the
Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. The Purchase
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered, and the Common Stock and the
Warrants have been duly executed, issued and delivered by the Company and the
Purchase Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms.
The Common Stock is not subject to preemptive rights under the Company's

of the Purchase Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated thereby (i) do not violate any provision of the

conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and
violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect.

exercised, payable at such Holder's election (i) by certified or official bank
check or (ii) by surrender to the Issuer for cancellation of a portion of this
Warrant representing that number of unissued shares of Warrant Stock which is

rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, (i) certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so

exercise, and (ii) unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing

Warrant shall not then have been exercised (less any amount thereof which shall
have been canceled in payment or partial payment of the Warrant Price as
hereinabove provided) shall also be issued to the Holder hereof at the Issuer's
expense within such time.

the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of
this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the
Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of
any necessary transfer tax imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is
exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants for the purchase
of the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to
represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the
Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued
on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be

otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued
upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or
an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws.

certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof
shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE
HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR MAGNITUDE
INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION (THE "COMPANY"), SHALL HAVE
RECEIVED AN OPINION, IN FORM, SCOPE AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE
COMPANY, OF COUNSEL WHO IS REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT
REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
(iii) The restrictions imposed by this subsection (e) upon the transfer
of this Warrant or the shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased upon exercise
hereof shall terminate (A) when such securities shall have been resold pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (B) upon the
Issuer's receipt of an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer, addressed to the Issuer to the effect that such
restrictions are no longer required to ensure compliance with the Securities Act
and state securities laws or (C) upon the Issuer's receipt of other evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification
under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required. Whenever
such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any such securities, the
Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Issuer (or its transfer
agent and registrar), without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if
any), new Warrants (or, in the case of shares of Warrant Stock, new stock
certificates) of like tenor not bearing the applicable legend required by
paragraph (ii) above relating to the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws.
35
<PAGE>
(f) Continuing Rights of Holder. The Issuer will, at the time of or at
any time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder
hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation
to afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant;
provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the
failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such
rights to such Holder.
(3) Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Stock Fully Paid. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and
agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, upon issuance, be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes and liens,
security interest, charges and encumbrances of any nature whatsoever created by
or through the Issuer. The Issuer further represents, warrants, covenants and
agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the
Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the
issue upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved
for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder
require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any
federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in
good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to
cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list
any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its
expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of,
all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this
Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under
the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock
which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock
shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or
market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder
of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant
if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such
securities exchange or market by the Issuer.
(c) Covenants. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without
limitation, amending the Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the
Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms or provisions of
this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith carry out all such terms or
provisions and take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent
specifically provided herein) or impairment. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of its
Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or
modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the
Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect in any way the powers,
preferences or relative participating, optional or other special rights of the
Common Stock or which would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the
37
<PAGE>
Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order
that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, security interests,
charges, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein)
upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) obtain all such authorizations,
exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction
thereof as may be necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations
under this Warrant.
(d) Ten Percent Rule. This Warrant shall not be exercisable to the
extent that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon any exercise of hereof,
when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then owned by the Holder
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement), would result in the Holder owning more
than 9.99% of all of such Common Stock as would be outstanding on such date of
exercise, as determined in accordance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
(e) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such
Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the
right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number. The number and
kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of
certain events as follows:
(a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification,
Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of
the following (each, a "Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate with or merge into
any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving Person
of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate
with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or
surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any
Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of
any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect
a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in
the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that,
upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the
Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, at the option of such Holder, (x) upon
the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event,
to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to
receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the
consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities,
cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the
consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights
represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments
(subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the
adjustments provided for in Section 4 hereof or (y) to sell this Warrant (or, at
such Holder's election, a portion hereof) concurrently with the Triggering Event
to the Person continuing after or surviving such Triggering Event, or to the
38
<PAGE>
Issuer (if Issuer is the continuing or surviving Person) at a sales price equal
to the amount of cash, property and/or Securities to which a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock which would otherwise have been delivered upon
the exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled upon the effective date or
closing of any such Triggering Event (the "Event Consideration"), less the
amount or portion of such Event Consideration having a fair value equal to the
aggregate Warrant Price applicable to this Warrant or the portion hereof so
sold.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the
contrary, the Issuer will not effect any Triggering Event unless, prior to the
consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required
to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as
provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably
satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer
under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such
Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release
the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant)
and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of Securities, cash
or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection
(a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have
similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person, which
counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, stating that this
Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof
(including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a))
shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which such Person may be
required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any
rights pursuant hereto.
(iii) If with respect to any Triggering Event, the Holder of this
Warrant has exercised its right as provided in clause (y) of subparagraph (i) of
this subsection (a) to sell this Warrant or a portion thereof, the Issuer agrees
that as a condition to the consummation of any such Triggering Event the Issuer
shall secure such right of Holder to sell this Warrant to the Person continuing
after or surviving such Triggering Event and the Issuer shall not effect any
such Triggering Event unless upon or prior to the consummation thereof the
amounts of cash, property and/or Securities required under such clause (y) are
delivered to the Holder of this Warrant. The obligation of the Issuer to secure
such right of the Holder to sell this Warrant shall be subject to such Holder's
cooperation with the Issuer, including, without limitation, the giving of
reasonable and customary representations and warranties to the purchaser in
connection with any such sale. Prior notice of any Triggering Event shall be
given to the Holder of this Warrant in accordance with Section 11 hereof.
39
<PAGE>
(b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Issuer, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, shall subdivide or combine any shares of
Common Stock, (i) in case of subdivision of shares, the Warrant Price shall be
proportionately reduced (as at the effective date of such subdivision or, if the
Issuer shall take a record of holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of so
subdividing, as at the applicable record date, whichever is earlier) to reflect
the increase in the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a
result of such subdivision, or (ii) in the case of a combination of shares, the
Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased (as at the effective date of
such combination or, if the Issuer shall take a record of holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of so combining, as at the applicable record date,
whichever is earlier) to reflect the reduction in the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding as a result of such combination.
(c) Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Issuer, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, shall:
(i) Stock Dividends. Pay a dividend in, or make any other distribution
to its stockholders (without consideration therefor) of, shares of Common Stock,
the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, as at the date the Issuer shall take a
record of the holders of the Issuer's Capital Stock for the purpose of receiving
such dividend or other distribution (or if no such record is taken, as at the
date of such payment or other distribution), to that price determined by
multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such record date
(or if no such record is taken, then immediately prior to such payment or other
distribution), by a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend
or distribution, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or
distribution (plus in the event that the Issuer paid cash for fractional shares,
the number of additional shares which would have been outstanding had the Issuer
issued fractional shares in connection with said dividends); or
(ii) Other Dividends. Pay a dividend on, or make any distribution of
its assets upon or with respect to (including, but not limited to, a
distribution of its property as a dividend in liquidation or partial liquidation
or by way of return of capital), the Common Stock (other than as described in
clause (i) of this subsection (c)), or in the event that the Company shall offer
options or rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock, or issue any Common
Stock Equivalents, to all of its holders of Common Stock, then on the record
date for such payment, distribution or offer or, in the absence of a record
date, on the date of such payment, distribution or offer, the Holder shall
receive what the Holder would have received had it exercised this Warrant in
full immediately prior to the record date of such payment, distribution or offer
or, in the absence of a record date, immediately prior to the date of such
payment, distribution or offer.
(d) Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Issuer, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue any Additional Shares of
Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (a)
through (c) of this Section 4), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price
then in effect or less than the Per Share Market Value then in effect or without
consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted
to that price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the
Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction:
40
<PAGE>
(i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (A) the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such
Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock
(rounded to the nearest whole share) which the aggregate consideration for the
total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase
at a price per share equal to the greater of the Per Share Market Value then in
effect and the Warrant Price then in effect, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Additional
Shares of Common Stock.
The provisions of this subsection (d) shall not apply under any of the
circumstances for which an adjustment is provided in subsections (a), (b) or (c)
of this Section 4. No adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made under this
subsection (d) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which
are issued pursuant to any Common Stock Equivalent if upon the issuance of such
Common Stock Equivalent (x) any adjustment shall have been made pursuant to
subsection (e) of this Section 4 or (y) no adjustment was required pursuant to
subsection (e) of this Section 4. No adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be
made under this subsection (d) in an amount less than $.01 per share, but any
such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time
and together with the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which together with
any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to $.01 per share or more;
provided that upon any adjustment of the Warrant Price as a result of any
dividend or distribution payable in Common Stock or Convertible Securities or
the reclassification, subdivision or combination of Common Stock into a greater
or smaller number of shares, the foregoing figure of $.01 per share (or such
figure as last adjusted) shall be adjusted (to the nearest one-half cent) in
proportion to the adjustment in the Warrant Price.
(e) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If the Issuer, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue any Common Stock Equivalent and
the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable
thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent shall be less than the
Warrant Price then in effect or less than the Per Share Market Value then in
effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price
per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter
is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than the
Warrant Price or less than the Per Share Market Value in effect at the time of
such amendment, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance or amendment
shall be adjusted as provided in the first sentence of subsection (d) of this
Section 4 on the basis that (1) the maximum number of Additional Shares of
Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such Common Stock Equivalents shall be
deemed to have been issued (whether or not such Common Stock Equivalents are
actually then exercisable, convertible or exchangeable in whole or in part) as
of the earlier of (A) the date on which the Issuer shall enter into a firm
contract for the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent, or (B) the date of
actual issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent, and (2) the aggregate
consideration for such maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall
be deemed to be the minimum consideration received or receivable by the Issuer
for the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock pursuant to such
Common Stock Equivalent. No adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made under
this subsection (e) upon the issuance of any Convertible Security which is
issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or
purchase rights therefor, if any adjustment shall previously have been made in
the Warrant Price then in effect upon the issuance of such warrants or other
rights pursuant to this subsection (e). If no adjustment is required under this
subsection (e) upon issuance of any Common Stock Equivalent or once an
41
<PAGE>
adjustment is made under this subsection (e) based upon the Per Share Market
Value in effect on the date of such adjustment, no further adjustment shall be
made under this subsection (e) based solely upon a change in the Per Share
Market Value after such date.
(f) Purchase of Common Stock by the Issuer. If the Issuer at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding shall, directly or indirectly through a
Subsidiary or otherwise, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of
Common Stock at a price per share greater than the Per Share Market Value then
in effect, then the Warrant Price upon each such purchase, redemption or
acquisition shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying such
Warrant Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such purchase,
redemption or acquisition minus the number of shares of Common Stock which the
aggregate consideration for the total number of such shares of Common Stock so
purchased, redeemed or acquired would purchase at the Per Share Market Value;
and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such purchase, redemption or acquisition. For the
purposes of this subsection (f), the date as of which the Per Share Market Value
shall be computed shall be the earlier of (x) the date on which the Issuer shall
enter into a firm contract for the purchase, redemption or acquisition of such
Common Stock, or (y) the date of actual purchase, redemption or acquisition of
such Common Stock. For the purposes of this subsection (f), a purchase,
redemption or acquisition of a Common Stock Equivalent shall be deemed to be a
purchase of the underlying Common Stock, and the computation herein required
shall be made on the basis of the full exercise, conversion or exchange of such
Common Stock Equivalent on the date as of which such computation is required
hereby to be made, whether or not such Common Stock Equivalent is actually
exercisable, convertible or exchangeable on such date.
(g) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under this Section 4.
The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments in the
Warrant Price hereinbefore provided in Section 4:
(i) Computation of Consideration. The consideration received by the
Issuer shall be deemed to be the following: to the extent that any Additional
Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued for a
cash consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefor, or if
such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered
by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional
Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or
dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the public offering
price, in any such case excluding any amounts paid or receivable for accrued
interest or accrued dividends and without deduction of any compensation,
discounts, commissions, or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for or in
connection with the underwriting thereof or otherwise in connection with the
issue thereof; to the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration
other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the fair
market value of such consideration at the, time of such issuance as determined
in good faith by the Board. The consideration for any Additional Shares of
Common Stock issuable pursuant to any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the
consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such Common Stock Equivalents,
plus the additional consideration payable to the Issuer upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. In case of the issuance
at any time of any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
in payment or satisfaction of any dividend upon any class of Capital Stock of
the Issuer other than Common Stock, the Issuer shall be deemed to have received
for such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents a
41
<PAGE>
consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied. In any
case in which the consideration to be received or paid shall be other than cash,
the Board shall notify the Holder of this Warrant of its determination of the
fair market value of such consideration prior to payment or accepting receipt
thereof. If, within thirty (30) days after receipt of said notice, the Majority
Holders shall notify the Board in writing of their objection to such
determination, a determination of the fair market value of such consideration
shall be made by an Independent Appraiser selected by the Majority Holders with
the approval of the Board (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld),
whose fees and expenses shall be paid by the Issuer.
(ii) Readjustment of Warrant Price. Upon the expiration or termination
of the right to convert, exchange or exercise any Common Stock Equivalent the
issuance of which effected an adjustment in the Warrant Price, if such Common
Stock Equivalent shall not have been converted, exercised or exchanged in its
entirety, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and
outstanding by reason of the fact that they were issuable upon conversion,
exchange or exercise of any such Common Stock Equivalent shall no longer be
computed as set forth above, and the Warrant Price shall forthwith be readjusted
and thereafter be the price which it would have been (but reflecting any other
adjustments in the Warrant Price made pursuant to the provisions of this Section
4 after the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent) had the adjustment of the
Warrant Price been made in accordance with the issuance or sale of the number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock actually issued upon conversion, exchange or
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent and thereupon only the number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock actually so issued shall be deemed to have
been issued and only the consideration actually received by the Issuer (computed
as in clause (i) of this subsection (g)) shall be deemed to have been received
by the Issuer.
(iii) Outstanding Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock at
any time outstanding shall (A) not include any shares thereof then directly or
indirectly owned or held by or for the account of the Issuer or any of its
Subsidiaries, and (B) be deemed to include all shares of Common Stock then
issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any then outstanding Common
Stock Equivalents or any other evidences of Indebtedness, shares of Capital
Stock or other Securities which are or may be at any time convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or Other Common Stock.
(h) Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case after the Original
Issue Date the Issuer shall take any action affecting its Common Stock, other
than an action described in any of the foregoing subsections (a) through (g) of
this Section 4, inclusive, and the failure to make any adjustment would not
fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance
with the essential intent and principle of this Section 4, then the Warrant
Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board may in good
faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances.
(i) Adjustment of Warrant Share Number. Upon each adjustment in the
Warrant Price pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, the
Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted, to the nearest one hundredth of a whole
share, to the product obtained by multiplying the Warrant Share Number
immediately prior to such adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately before giving effect
to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price
immediately after giving effect to such adjustment. If the Issuer shall be in
default under any provision contained in Section 3 of this Warrant so that
shares issued at the Warrant Price adjusted in accordance with this Section 4
would not be validly issued, the adjustment of the Warrant Share Number provided
for in the foregoing sentence shall nonetheless be made and the Holder of this
Warrant shall be entitled to purchase such greater number of shares at the
lowest price at which such shares may then be validly issued under applicable
law. Such exercise shall not constitute a waiver of any claim arising against
the Issuer by reason of its default under Section 3 of this Warrant.
42
<PAGE>
(j) Form of Warrant after Adjustments. The form of this Warrant need
not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and
kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share
Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial
Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable
detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the
method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the
basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant
Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall
cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant
promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of
this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at
the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to one of the national
accounting firms currently known as the "big five" selected by the Holder,
provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from
such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such
Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of
objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the
preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such
matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after submission
to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties
hereto. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid by the
Issuer.
6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be
issued in connection with and exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional
shares, the Issuer shall make a cash payment therefor equal in amount to the
product of the applicable fraction multiplied by the Per Share Market Value then
in effect.
