NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyers hereby agree as follows:
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF PREFERRED SHARES AND WARRANTS.

<PAGE>
b. Closing Date. The date and time of the Closing (the "Closing Date")

shall deliver the certificates representing the Preferred Shares and the
Warrants to the Buyers via overnight courier after the Buyers have wired the
Purchase Price to the Company.
2. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Each Buyer represents and warrants with respect to only itself that:
a. Investment Purpose. Such Buyer is acquiring the Preferred Shares
and Warrants (the Preferred Shares and Warrants may also be referred to herein
as the "Securities"), for its own account for investment only and not with a
view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution
thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act;
provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer does
not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term
and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance
with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act.
b. Accredited Investor Status. Such Buyer is an "accredited investor"
as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.
c. Reliance on Exemptions. Such Buyer understands that the Securities
are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the
registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and
that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such
Buyer's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer
to acquire such Securities.
<PAGE>
d. Information. Such Buyer 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 Securities
which have been requested by such Buyer. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any,
have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such
inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or
its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such
Buyer's right to rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained
in Section 3 below. Such Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities
involves a high degree of risk. Such Buyer 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 Securities.
e. No Governmental Review. Such Buyer understands that no United
States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency
has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the
fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities.
f. Transfer or Resale. Such Buyer understands that except as provided
in the Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Securities have not been and are
not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may
not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently
registered thereunder, (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an
opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such
Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or
transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) such Buyer
provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold,
assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as
amended, (or a successor rule thereto) ("Rule 144"); and (ii) any sale of the
Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the
terms of Rule 144 and further, and if Seller intends to utilize Rule 144 but
Rule 144 is not applicable to such resale, any resale of the Securities under
circumstances in which the Seller (or the person through whom the sale is made)
may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may
require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder.
g. Legends. Such Buyer understands that the Preferred Stock
Certificates and certificates or other instruments representing the Warrants and
the stock certificates representing the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares
except as set forth below, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the
following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such
stock certificates):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "1933
ACT"), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN
ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD,
TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (1) IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE 1933 ACT OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) IN THE ABSENCE OF AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED UNDER THE 1933 ACT OR (3) UNLESS SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR
ASSIGNED PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.
<PAGE>
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is
stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) such
Securities are registered for sale under the 1933 Act, (ii) in connection with a
sale transaction, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel,
in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or
transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act,
or (iii) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the
Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the
number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be
immediately sold.
h. Validity; Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and
validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and is a
valid and binding agreement of such Buyer enforceable against such Buyer in
accordance with its terms, subject as to enforceability to general
principles of equity and to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to,
or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and
remedies.
i. Residency. Such Buyer is a resident of that country and state,
if applicable, specified in its address on Schedule 1.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.
The Company represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that:
a. Organization and Qualification. The Company and its
"Subsidiaries" (which for purposes of this Agreement means any entity in
which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns a controlling position of
capital stock or holds a controlling position of an equity or similar
interest) are corporations duly organized and validly existing in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are incorporated,
and have the requisite corporate power and authorization to own their
properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted. Each of
the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation
to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its
ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes
such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be
so qualified or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. As used in this Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect" means any
material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, operations,
results or operations, financial condition or prospects of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, if any, taken as a whole, or on the transactions
contemplated hereby or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into
in connection herewith, or on the authority or ability of the Company to

Instructions (as defined in Section 5), the Warrants and the Certificate of

hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(collectively, the "Transaction Documents"), and to issue the Securities in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, (ii) the execution and
delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation
by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including
without limitation the issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants
and the reservation for issuance and the issuance of the Conversion Shares
and Warrant Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof,
respectively, have been duly authorized by the Company's Board of Directors
and no further consent or authorization is required by the Company, its
Board of Directors or its stockholders, (iii) the Transaction Documents
have been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and (iv) the
Transaction Documents constitute the valid and binding obligations of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of
equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the
enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies, and (v) prior to the Closing
Date, the Certificate of Designations has been filed with the Secretary of
State of the State of Nevada and will be in full force and effect,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
c. Issuance of Securities. The Securities are duly authorized
and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be (i)
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and (ii) free from all taxes,
liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Preferred Shares
shall be entitled to the rights and preferences set forth in the
Certificate of Designations. 533,332 shares of Company common stock
(subject to adjustment pursuant to the Company's covenant set forth in
Section 4(g) below) have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance
upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants. Upon
conversion in accordance with the Certificate of Designations or exercise
in accordance with the Warrants, the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares,

the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Company
common stock. The issuance by the Company of the Securities is, and the
issuance by the Company of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares shall
be, exempt from registration under the 1933 Act.
d. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without
limitation, the Company's issuance of the Securities and the reservation
for issuance and issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares)
will not (i) result in a violation of the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, as amended and as in effect on the date hereof (the
"Articles of Incorporation") or the Company's By-laws, as amended and as in
effect on the date hereof (the "By-laws") or any Certificate of
Designations, Preferences and Rights of any outstanding series of preferred
stock of the Company 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, indenture or instrument to
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or result in a
violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree

mortgage, indebtedness, indenture, instrument, judgment, decree or order or
any statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or its
Subsidiaries, except for possible conflicts, defaults, terminations,
amendments which would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The business of
the Company and its Subsidiaries is not being conducted, and shall not be
conducted, in violation of any law, ordinance, regulation of any
governmental entity, except for possible violations the sanctions for which
either individually or in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. Except as specifically contemplated by the Transaction Documents
and as required under the 1933 Act, the Company is not required to obtain
any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration
with, any court or governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory
agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its
obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction Documents in
accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. All consents, authorizations,
orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required to obtain
prior to Closing pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or
effected on or prior to the date hereof. The Company and its Subsidiaries
are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of
the foregoing. The Company is not in violation of the listing requirements
of the Principal Market (as defined in Section 4(f) below).
e. SEC Documents; Financial Statements. As of the Closing, the
Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other
documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting

Act") (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits
included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and
documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to
as the "SEC Documents"). As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents
complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and
the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to
the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were
filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted 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. As of their respective dates,
the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents
complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with
respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, 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 exclude footnotes or may be
condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material
respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and
the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended
(subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit
adjustments). No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company
to the Buyers which is not included in the SEC Documents, including,
without limitation contains any untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or were
made, not misleading. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or
any of their officers, directors, employees or agents have provided the
Buyers with any material, nonpublic information.
<PAGE>

the Company with the SEC, there has been no material adverse change and no
material adverse development in the business, properties, operations,
financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company or
its Subsidiaries. The Company has not taken any steps, and does not
currently expect to take any steps, to seek protection pursuant to any
bankruptcy law nor does the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have any
knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate
involuntary bankruptcy proceedings.

Documents, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation
before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory

Company's common stock, the Common Shares or any of the Company's
Subsidiaries or any of the Company's or the Company's Subsidiaries'
officers or directors in their capacities as such.
h. [Reserved].
i. No Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or
Circumstances. No event, liability, development or circumstance has
occurred or exists, or is contemplated to occur, with respect to the
Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective business, properties,
prospects, operations or financial condition, that would be required to be
disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws on a registration
statement filed with the SEC relating to an issuance and sale by the
Company of its common stock and which has not been publicly announced.
j. No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in
any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning
of Regulation D under the 1933 Act) in connection with the offer or sale of
the Securities.
k. No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or
indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any
offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require
registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause this
offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the
Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval
provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations
of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the
securities of the Company are listed or designated, nor will the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries take any action or steps that would require
registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the
offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings.
l. Employee Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is involved in any union labor dispute nor, to the knowledge
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is any such dispute threatened.
<PAGE>
m. Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries
own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade
names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents,
patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental
authorizations, trade secrets and rights necessary to conduct their
respective businesses as now conducted. None of the Company's trademarks,
trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names,
patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals,
government authorizations, trade secrets or other intellectual property
rights have expired or terminated, or are expected to expire or terminate
within two years from the date of this Agreement. The Company and its
Subsidiaries do not have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company
or its Subsidiaries of trademark, trade name rights, patents, patent
rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, service names, service marks,
service mark registrations, trade secret or other similar rights of others,
or of any such development of similar or identical trade secrets or
technical information by others and the Company and its Subsidiaries are
unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the
foregoing. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security
measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their
intellectual properties.
n. Environmental Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are
in compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local
laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety,
the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or
contaminants ("Environmental Laws"), (ii) have received all permits,
licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental
Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) are in compliance
with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval.
o. Title. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable
title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear
of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in the
SEC Documents or such as do not materially affect the value of such
property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of
such property by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries. Any real property
and facilities held under lease by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries
are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such
exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and
proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its
Subsidiaries.
p. Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are
insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such
losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes
to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its
Subsidiaries are engaged and the Company does not have any reason to
believe it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage under
substantially similar terms for the next two (2) years.
q. Regulatory Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess
all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has
received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit.
<PAGE>
r. Tax Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made
or filed all federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports
and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject
(unless and only to the extent that the Company and each of its
Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for
the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and
other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount,
shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations,
except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books
provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods
subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations
apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due
by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the
Company know of no basis for any such claim.
s. Transactions With Affiliates. Except as set forth in the SEC
Documents filed at least ten days prior to the date hereof, none of the
officers, control parties, control entities, directors, or employees of the
Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and
directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement
providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of
real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or

Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any
officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an
officer, director, trustee or partner.

resale of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares on a registration

satisfy each of the conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in
Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement.
b. Form D and Blue Sky. The Company agrees to file a Form D with
respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a
copy thereof to each Buyer promptly after such filing. The Company shall,
on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall
reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to
qualify the Securities for sale to the Buyers at the Closing pursuant to
this Agreement under applicable securities or "Blue Sky" laws of the states
of the United States, and shall provide evidence of any such action so
taken to the Buyers on or prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall make
all filings and reports relating the offer and sale of the Securities
required under applicable securities or "Blue Sky" laws of the states of
the United States following the Closing Date.
c. Reporting Status. Until the earlier of (i) the date which is
one year after the date as of which the Investors (as that term is defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement) may sell all of the Conversion Shares
and Warrant Shares without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated
under the 1933 Act (or successor thereto), or (ii) the date on which (A)
the Investors shall have sold all the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares
(the "Registration Period") and (B) none of the Preferred Shares or
Warrants is outstanding, the Company shall file all reports required to be
filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act, and the Company shall not
terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934
Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would
otherwise permit such termination.
<PAGE>
d. Filing of Form 8-K. On or before the fifth (5th) business day
following the Closing, the Company shall file a Form 8-K with the SEC
describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents in the form required by the 1934 Act.
e. Right of First Refusal. Subject to the exceptions described
below, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not negotiate or contract
with any party for any equity financing (including any debt financing with
an equity component) or issue any equity securities of the Company or any
Subsidiary or securities convertible or exchangeable into or for equity
securities of the Company or any Subsidiary (including debt securities with
an equity component) in any form ("Future Offerings") during the period
beginning on the date hereof and ending on, and including, the date which
is 180 days after the Closing Date, unless it shall have first delivered to
each Buyer or a designee appointed by such Buyer written notice (the
"Future Offering Notice") describing the proposed Future Offering,
including the terms and conditions thereof, and providing each Buyer an
option to purchase up to its Aggregate Percentage (as defined below) of the
securities to be issued in such Future Offering, as of the date of delivery
of the Future Offering Notice, in the Future Offering (the limitations
referred to in this sentence is referred to as the "Capital Raising
Limitations"). For purposes of this Section 4(e), "Aggregate Percentage" at
any time with respect to any Buyer shall mean the percentage obtained by
dividing (i) the aggregate number of the Preferred Shares initially issued
and the Closing to such Buyer by (ii) the aggregate number of the Preferred
Shares sold to the Buyers by the Company at the Closing in connection with
the Offering. A Buyer can exercise its option to participate in a Future
Offering by delivering written notice thereof to participate to the Company
within five (5) business days after receipt of a Future Offering Notice,
which notice shall state the quantity of securities being offered in the
Future Offering that such Buyer will purchase, up to its Aggregate
Percentage, and that number of securities it is willing to purchase in
excess of its Aggregate Percentage. In the event that one or more Buyers
fail to elect to purchase up to each such Buyer's Aggregate Percentage,
then each Buyer which has indicated that it is willing to purchase a number
of securities in such Future Offering in excess of its Aggregate Percentage
shall be entitled to purchase its pro rata portion (determined in the same
manner as described in the preceding sentence) of the securities in the
Future Offering which one or more of the Buyers have not elected to
purchase. In the event the Buyers fail to elect to fully participate in the
Future Offering within the periods described in this Section 4(e), the
Company shall have 45 days thereafter to sell the securities of the Future
Offering that the Buyers did not elect to purchase, upon terms and
conditions, no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in
the Future Offering Notice. In the event the Company has not sold such
securities of the Future Offering within such 45 day period, the Company
shall not thereafter issue or sell such securities without first offering
such securities to the Buyers in the manner provided in this Section 4(e).
The Capital Raising Limitations shall not apply to (i) a loan from a
commercial bank which does not have any equity feature, (ii) any
transaction involving the Company's issuances of securities (A) as
consideration in a merger or consolidation, or (B) as consideration for the
acquisition of a business, product, license or other assets by the Company,
(iii) the issuance of common stock in a firm commitment, underwritten
public offering, (iv) the issuance of securities upon exercise or
conversion of the Company's options, warrants or other convertible
securities outstanding as of the date hereof, (v) the grant of additional
options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under any
Company stock option plan, restricted stock plan or stock purchase plan for
the benefit of the Company's employees or directors ((i) through (v)
collectively, the "Exempt Issuances"). The Buyers shall not be required to
participate or exercise their right of first refusal with respect to a
particular Future Offering in order to exercise their right of first
refusal with respect to later Future Offerings.
<PAGE>
f. Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all
of the Registrable Securities (as that term is defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) upon each national securities exchange, automated
quotation system or bulletin board system, if any, upon which shares of the
Company's common stock are then listed (subject to official notice of
issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of common stock
shall be so listed, such listing of all Registrable Securities from time to
time issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents. The Company
shall utilize its best efforts to cause the Company's Common Stock to be
authorized for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market ("NNM") or the
Nasdaq Small-Cap Market ("NSCM") and the Company shall maintain the Common
Stock's authorization for quotation on the NNM, NSCM or OTC Electronic
Bulletin Board, as applicable,(the "Principal Market"). Neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which would be reasonably
expected to result in the delisting or suspension of Company common stock
on the Principal Market. The Company shall promptly, and in no event later
than the following business day, provide to each Buyer copies of any
notices it receives from the Principal Market regarding the continued
eligibility of Company common stock for listing on such automated quotation
system or securities exchange. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses
in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 4(f).
g. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall take all action
necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of
issuance, no less than 200% of the number of shares of Company common stock
needed to provide for the issuance of the shares of Company common stock
upon conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares and exercise of all
outstanding Warrants.
h. Issuance of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares. The issuance
of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares shall be duly authorized, and
when issued in accordance with the Certificate of Designations or Warrants,
as applicable, the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares will be validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of all taxes, liens, charges
and preemptive rights with respect to the issue thereof.
i. Limitation on Filing Registration Statements. The Company
shall not file a registration statement (other than the Registration
Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) or a
registration statement on Form S-8) covering the sale or resale of shares
of Company common stock with the SEC during the period beginning on the
date hereof and ending on the date which is 90 days after the Registration
Statement has been declared effective by the SEC.
j. Independent Auditors. The Company shall, until at least three
(3) years after the Closing Date, maintain as its independent auditors an
accounting firm authorized to practice before the SEC.
k. Corporate Existence and Taxes. The Company shall, until at
least the later of (i) the date that is three (3) years after the Closing
Date or (ii) the conversion or redemption of all Preferred Stock and
exercise of all Warrants purchased pursuant to this Agreement, maintain its
corporate existence in good standing (provided, however, that the foregoing
covenant shall not prevent the Company from entering into any merger or
corporate reorganization as long as the surviving entity in such
transaction, if not the Company, has common stock listed for trading on the
Principal Market and shall pay all its taxes when due except for taxes
which the Company disputes).
<PAGE>
5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.
The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent
(the "Transfer Agent"), and any subsequent transfer agent, substantially in
the form of Exhibit D hereto (the "Transfer Agent Instructions") to issue
certificates, registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective
nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable in
such amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company
upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants, as
applicable. Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares under the 1933 Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive
legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company warrants
that no instruction other than the Transfer Agent Instructions referred to
in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section
2(f) hereof will be given by the Company to its Transfer Agent and that the
Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records
of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5 shall affect in
any way each Buyer's obligations and agreements set forth in Section 2(g)
to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any,
upon resale of the Securities. If a Buyer provides the Company with an
opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a
public sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without
registration under the 1933 Act or the Buyer provides the Company with
reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144
without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a
particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Company shall permit
the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares,
promptly instruct its Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates in
such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer and without
any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyers by
vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby.
Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach
of its obligations under this Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees, in
the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions
of this Section 5, that the Buyers shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any
breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity
of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.
6. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO SELL.
The obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the
Preferred Shares and Warrants to each Buyer at the Closing is subject to
the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following
conditions, provided that these conditions are for the Company's sole
benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its sole discretion

covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be

required by the Transaction Documents to be performed, satisfied or
complied with by the Company at or prior to the Closing Date;

<PAGE>

In consideration of each Buyer's execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in
addition to all of the Company's other obligations under the Transaction
Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless

investors and any of the foregoing person's agents or other representatives

transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the
"Indemnitees") from and against any and all actions, causes of action,
suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and
expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such
Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is
sought or whether such Indemnitee commenced such action), and including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (the "Indemnified
Liabilities"), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out
of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any
representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents

9. [Reserved.]

The Company agrees that Buyers will suffer damages if the Company
violates any provision of or fails to fulfill any of its obligations or
duties pursuant to the Transaction Documents, other than the Registration
Rights Agreement (a "Company Violation"), and that it would not be possible
to ascertain the extent of such damages. Accordingly, in the event of such
Company Violation, the Company hereby agrees to pay liquidated damages
("Liquidated Damages") to each Buyer following the occurrence of such
Company Violation in an amount determined by multiplying (i) $2.00 per
Preferred Share initially purchased by such Buyer by (ii) the percentage
derived by dividing (A) the actual number of days elapsed from the last day
of the date of the Company Violation or the prior 30-day period, as
applicable, to the day such Company Violation has been completely cured by
(B) 30, in cash. The Liquidated Damages payable pursuant hereto shall be
payable within five (5) business days from the end of the calendar month
commencing on the first calendar month in which a Company Violation occurs.
Notwithstanding anything that may be construed to the contrary, the Company
shall be obligated to pay separate Liquidated Damages for each Company
Violation until each such Company Violation has been completely cured.

State of Illinois (except for the proper application of the United States
federal securities laws), without giving effect to any choice of law or
conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Illinois or any
other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdictions other than the State of Illinois. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts sitting in the City of Chicago. EACH PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY

agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by
each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile
signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the

conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 above (and the nonbreaching
party's failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching
party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to
such breaching party at the close of business on such date without

any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other
rights granted by law.
<PAGE>
p. Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a
payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to the Transaction
Documents or the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or
thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such
enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from,
disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored
to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such
restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if

par value per share, and (ii) providing for the designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, of twenty thousand (20,000) shares of
Series C Preferred Stock of the Company, as follows:
RESOLVED, that the Company is authorized to issue 20,000 shares of Series C
Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares"), no par value per share, which shall
have the following powers, designations, preferences and other special rights:
(1) Dividends.
(a) Regular Dividends. Each holder (a "Holder" and, collectively, the
"Holders") of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive on each April 7
and October 7, or if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately subsequent
Business Day, commencing October 7, 2000 (each, a "Dividend Payment Date"),
dividends ("Regular Dividends") at a rate of seven percent (7%) per annum,
computed on the basis of $100.00 per Preferred Share. Such dividends shall be
cumulative from (and including) such Preferred Share's Issuance Date (as defined
below) and shall accrue daily, whether or not earned or declared, thereafter
until paid and be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year. Dividends shall be
payable in cash; provided, however that in lieu of paying such dividends in
cash, the Company may, at its option, at the time of conversion of any or all
Preferred Shares held by any Holder, increase the Transaction Value (defined
below) of each Preferred Share by the amount of Regular Dividends which have
accrued on such Preferred Share but have not been paid by the Company.
<PAGE>
(b) Participating Dividends. In the event any dividend or other
distribution payable in cash or other property is declared on the Common Stock
(defined below), each Holder on the record date for such dividend or
distribution shall be entitled to receive per Preferred Share on the date of
payment or distribution of such dividend or other distribution the amount of
cash or property ("Participating Dividends") equal to the cash or property which
would be received by the Holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into
which such Preferred Share would be converted pursuant to Section 2 hereof
immediately prior to such record date; provided, however, that in lieu of paying
such dividends in cash or property, each Holder may, at its sole discretion, at
the time of conversion of any or all Preferred Shares held by such Holder,
receive such dividends by increasing the Transaction Value of each Preferred
Share by the amount of Participating Dividends which have accrued on such
Preferred Share but have not been paid by the Company.
(c) General Payment Provisions. All payments made by the Company with
respect to any Preferred Share shall be made in lawful money of the United
States of America by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such
account as the Holder may from time to time designate by written notice to the
Company in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations.
Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Certificate of
Designations is due on any day which is not a Business Day (as defined below),
the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business
Day.
(2) Conversion of Preferred Shares. Preferred Shares shall be convertible
into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $ 0.001 per share (the
"Common Stock"), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.

be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holders
of Preferred Shares. If the Company and the Holders of Preferred Shares are
unable to agree upon the fair market value of the Common Stock, then such

period, that price which shall be computed as the equally-weighted arithmetic
average of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices for such security during the
ten (10) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding such date of
determination. (All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any
stock dividend, stock split or other similar transaction during such period).
(ix) "Closing Sale Price" means, for any security as of any date,
the last closing trade price for such security on the Principal Market (as
defined below) as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market is not the

trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg,

cannot be calculated for such security on such date on any of the foregoing
bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair
market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holders of Preferred
Shares. If the Company and the Holders of Preferred Shares are unable to agree
upon the fair market value of the Common Stock, then such dispute shall be
resolved pursuant to Section 2(e)(iii) below with the term "Closing Sale Price"

(b) Holder's Conversion Right; Mandatory Conversion. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2(d) below, at any time or times on or after the Issuance
Date, any Holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to convert any whole
number of Preferred Shares into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock in accordance with Section 2(e), at the Conversion Rate (as defined
below). If any Preferred Shares remain outstanding on the Mandatory Conversion
Date, then, subject to Section 2(d) below, such Preferred Shares shall be
converted at the Conversion Rate as of such date in accordance with Section 2(e)
below. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon
any conversion. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof)
issuable upon conversion of more than one Preferred Share by a Holder thereof
shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would
result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock. If, after the
aforementioned aggregation, the issuance would result in the issuance of a
fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a
share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.
(c) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of each Preferred Share pursuant to Section 2(b) shall be
determined according to the following formula (the "Conversion Rate"):
Transaction Value
-----------------
Conversion Price
(d) Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect
any conversion of any Preferred Share and no holder of any Preferred Share shall
have the right to convert any Preferred Share pursuant to Section 2(b) to the
extent that after giving effect to such conversion such Person (together with
such Person's affiliates) (A) would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% of the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such conversion and (B) would
have acquired, through conversion of any Preferred Share or otherwise (including
without limitation, exercise of any warrant issued pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement), in excess of 4.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common
Stock following such conversion during the 60-day period ending on and including
such Conversion Date (defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence,
the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Person and its
<PAGE>
affiliates or acquired by a Person and its affiliates, as the case may be, shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Preferred Shares with respect to which the determination of such sentence is
being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would
be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Preferred Shares
beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or
conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of
the Company (including, without limitation, any warrants) subject to a
limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained
herein beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates. Except as set forth
in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, each Conversion Notice (defined below) shall constitute a
representation by the holder submitting such Conversion Notice that, after
giving effect to such Conversion Notice, (A) the holder will not beneficially
own (as determined in accordance with this Section 2(d)) and (B) during the
60-day period ending on and including such Conversion Date, the holder will not
have acquired, through conversion of any Preferred Share or otherwise (including
without limitation, exercise or any Warrant), a number of shares of Common Stock
in excess of 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in the
Company's most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, or more recent
public press release or other public notice by the Company setting forth the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, but after giving effect to
conversions of any Preferred Share by such holder since the date as of which
such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.
(e) Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of Preferred Shares shall
be conducted in the following manner:
(i) Holder's Delivery Requirements. To convert Preferred Shares
into shares of Common Stock on any date (the "Conversion Date"), the Holder
shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior
to 11:59 p.m., Central Time on such date, a copy of a fully executed notice of
conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Conversion Notice") to
the Company's designated transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") with a copy
thereof to the Company and (B) surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the
Transfer Agent as soon as practicable following such date the original
certificates representing the Preferred Shares being converted (or an
indemnification undertaking with respect to such shares in the case of their
loss, theft or destruction) (the "Preferred Stock Certificates").
(ii) Company's Response. Upon receipt by the Company of a copy of
a Conversion Notice, the Company shall immediately send, via facsimile, a
confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the
Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the
Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms
<PAGE>
herein. Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of the Preferred Stock Certificates
to be converted pursuant to a Conversion Notice, the Transfer Agent shall, on
the next business day following the date of receipt (or the second business day
following the date of receipt if received after 11:00 a.m. local time of the
Transfer Agent), (A) issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight
delivery to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate,
registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, or (B) provided the
Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast
Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit
such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be
entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. If the number of Preferred Shares
represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion is
greater than the number of Preferred Shares being converted, then the Transfer
Agent shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3)
Business Days after receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and at its own
expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Preferred Stock Certificate
representing the number of Preferred Shares not converted.
(iii) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the
determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Company
shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock that is not disputed and shall submit the disputed determinations
or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via facsimile within one (1) Business
Day of receipt of such Holder's Conversion Notice. If such Holder and the
Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the arithmetic calculation
of the Conversion Rate within one (1) Business Day of such disputed
determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the
Company shall within one (1) Business Day submit via facsimile the disputed
arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to an independent, reputable
investment bank or accountant selected by the affected Holders and approved by
the Company. The Company shall cause the investment bank or the accountant, as
the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the
Company and the Holder of the results no later than forty-eight (48) hours from
the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such
investment bank's or accountant's determination or calculation, as the case may
be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the Company
shall be liable and responsible for paying such investment bank or accountant
fees and expenses.
(iv) Record Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Shares shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of
Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
<PAGE>
(v) Company's Failure to Timely Convert.
(A) Cash Damages. If within five (5) Business Days
after the Transfer Agent's receipt of the Preferred Stock
Certificates to be converted and a copy of the Conversion Notice
(the "Share Delivery Period") the Transfer Agent shall fail to
issue a certificate to a Holder or credit such Holder's balance
account with The Depository Trust Company for the number of
shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such
Holder's conversion of Preferred Shares or to issue a new
Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of Preferred
Shares to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to Section
2(e)(ii) (a "Conversion Failure"), in addition to all other
available remedies which such Holder may pursue hereunder and
under the Securities Purchase Agreement (including
indemnification pursuant to the provisions thereof), the Company
shall pay additional damages to such Holder on each date after
such third (3rd) Business Day such conversion is not timely
effected and/or such Preferred Stock Certificate is not delivered
in an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (I) the sum of the
number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a
timely basis pursuant to Section 2(e)(ii) and to which such
Holder is entitled and, in the event the Company has failed to
deliver a Preferred Stock Certificate to the Holder on a timely
basis pursuant to Section 2(e)(ii), the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares
represented by such Preferred Stock Certificate, as of the last
possible date which the Company could have issued such Preferred
Stock Certificate to such Holder without violating Section
2(e)(ii) and (II) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on
the last possible date which the Company could have issued such
Common Stock or such Preferred Stock Certificate, as the case may
be, to such Holder without violating Section 2(e)(ii). If the
Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this
Section 2(e)(v) within five (5) Business Days of the date
incurred, then the Holder entitled to such payments shall have
the right at any time, so long as the Company continues to fail
to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written
notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (X) the
aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided
by (Y) the Conversion Price in effect on such Conversion Date as
specified by the Holder in the Conversion Notice and such shares
of Common Stock shall be considered Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements and shall have the
respective registration rights thereunder.
(B) Void Conversion Notice; Adjustment to
Conversion Price. If for any reason a Holder has not received all
of the shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) Business
Day after the expiration of the Share Delivery Period with
respect to a conversion of Preferred Shares, then the Holder,
upon written notice to the Transfer Agent, with a copy to the
Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and
retain or have returned, as the case may be, any Preferred Shares
that have not been converted pursuant to such Holder's Conversion
Notice; provided that the voiding of a Holder's Conversion Notice
shall not effect the Company's obligations to make any payments
<PAGE>
which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to
Section 2(e)(v)(A) or otherwise. Thereafter, the Fixed Conversion
Price of any Preferred Shares returned or retained by the Holder
for failure to timely convert shall be adjusted to the lesser of
(I) the Fixed Conversion Price in effect as on the date on which
the Holder voided the Conversion Notice and (II) the lowest
Closing Bid Price during the period beginning on the Conversion
Date and ending on the date such Holder voided the Conversion
Notice.
(vi) Pro Rata Conversion and Redemption. In the event the Company
receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder of Preferred Shares for
the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such
Preferred Shares, the Company shall convert from each Holder of Preferred Shares
electing to have Preferred Shares converted at such time a pro rata amount of
such Holder's Preferred Shares submitted for conversion based on the number of
Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative
to the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date.
(vii) Mechanics of Mandatory Conversion. Subject to Section 2(d)
above, on the Mandatory Conversion Date, all Holders of Preferred Shares shall
surrender all Preferred Shares to the Transfer Agent and all Preferred Shares
shall be converted as of such date as if the Holders of such Preferred Shares
had given the Conversion Notice for all such Preferred Shares on the Mandatory
Conversion Date; provided that the Mandatory Conversion Date shall be extended
for any Preferred Shares, at the sole discretion of the Holders of a majority of
the Preferred Shares then outstanding (determined by reference to principal
balance) for as long as (A) a Triggering Event (defined below) shall have
occurred and be continuing, (B) any event shall have occurred and be continuing
which with the passage of time and the failure to cure would result in a
Triggering Event or (C) in any such Holder's determination, Section 2(d) would
apply to any such conversion.
(f) Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable
with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon the conversion of
Preferred Shares.
(g) Adjustments to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be
subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2(g).
(i) Adjustment of Fixed Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common
Stock. If and whenever on or after the date of issuance of the Preferred Shares,
the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2(g) is deemed
to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or
sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the
Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued by the
Company in connection with an Approved Stock Plan (as defined below) or upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares) for a consideration per share less than the
Fixed Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such time (the "Applicable
Price"), then immediately after such issue or sale, the Fixed Conversion Price
then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of
the consideration per Common Stock share, if any, received by the Company upon
such issue or sale. For purposes of determining the adjusted Fixed Conversion
Price under this Section 2(g)(i), the following shall be applicable:
<PAGE>
(A) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any
manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise
of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is
less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock
shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and
sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such
Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section
2(g)(i)(A), the "lowest price per share for which one share of
Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or
upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise of such Option" shall be equal to the sum
of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or
receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common
Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the
Option and upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible
Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further
adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made upon the
actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible
Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities.
(B) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the
Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities
and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common
Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange thereof is
less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock
shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and
sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such
Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes
of this Section 2(g)(i)(B), the "price per share for which one
share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or
exchange" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with
respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or
sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of
the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance
of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such
Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for
which adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price had been or are to
be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(g)(i), no
further adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made by
reason of such issue or sale.
(C) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.
If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional
consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion or
exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any
Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for
<PAGE>
Common Stock changes at any time, the Fixed Conversion Price in
effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Fixed
Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had
such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed
purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion
rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued
or sold. For purposes of this Section 2(g)(i)(C), if the terms of
any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the
date of issuance of the Preferred Shares are changed in the
manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such
Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed
issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be
deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No
adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an
increase of the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect.
(D) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case
any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of
other securities of the Company, together comprising one
integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is
allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options
will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $.01.
If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued
or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the
consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net
amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a
consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration
other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of
such consideration, except where such consideration consists of
securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by
the Company will be the fair market value of such securities on
the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity
in connection with any merger in which the Company is the
surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be
deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and
business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may
be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or
securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the
Holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares then outstanding.
If such parties are unable to reach agreement within 10 days
after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the
"Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be
determined within five business days after the tenth (10th) day
following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable
appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holders of a
majority of the Preferred Shares then outstanding. The
determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all
parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such
appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(E) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of
the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1)
to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common
Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (2) to subscribe
for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities,
then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue
or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of
such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right
of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
<PAGE>
(F) Certain Definitions. For purposes of this
Section 2(g)(i), the following terms have the respective meanings
set forth below:
(I) "Approved Stock Plan" shall mean any
employee benefit plan which has been approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company and meets the qualifications and
requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, pursuant to which the Company's securities
may be issued to any employee, officer, director, consultant
or other service provider for services provided to the

(II) "Options" means any rights, warrants or
options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or
Convertible Securities.
(III) "Convertible Securities" means any

(ii) Adjustment of Fixed Conversion Price upon Subdivision or
Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Fixed
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be
proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by combination,
reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Fixed Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
(iii) Adjustment of Fixed Conversion Price Upon Major Corporate
Event Announcement. In the event (A) the Company makes a public announcement
that it intends to consolidate or merge with or into another Person or engage in
a business combination involving the issuance or exchange of more than 30% of
the Company's outstanding Common Stock, (B) the Company makes a public
announcement that it intends to sell or transfer all or substantially all of the
Company's assets, or (C) any Person (including the Company) publicly announces a
purchase, tender or exchange offer for more than 30% of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock (the transactions described in clauses (A), (B) and (C)
above are hereinafter referred to as "Major Corporate Events" and the date of
the announcement referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) is hereinafter referred
to as the "Announcement Date"), then the Fixed Conversion Price shall, effective
upon the Announcement Date and continuing through and including the Adjusted
Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be equal to the Conversion
Price which would have been applicable for a conversion by the Holder on the
Announcement Date. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination
Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in Section 2(c). For
purposes hereof, "Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date" shall mean, with
respect to any proposed Major Corporate Event for which a public announcement as
contemplated by this Section 2(g)(iii) has been made, the date upon which the
Company or other Person (in the case of clause (C) above) consummates or
publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed Major
Corporate Event which was the subject of the previous public announcement.
<PAGE>
(iv) Holder's Right of Alternative Conversion Price Following
Issuance of Convertible Securities or Options. If the Company in any manner
issues or sells Convertible Securities or Options that are convertible into,
exchangeable for or exercisable into Common Stock at a price which varies with
the market price of the Common Stock (the formulation for such variable price
being herein referred to as, the "Variable Price"), the Company shall provide
written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to each Holder of the
Preferred Shares ("Variable Notice") on the date of issuance of such Convertible
Securities or Options. From and after the date the Company issues any such
Convertible Securities or Options with a Variable Price, a Holder of Preferred
Shares shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to
substitute the New Variable Formula (defined below) for the Conversion Price
upon conversion of any Preferred Shares by designating in the Conversion Notice
delivered upon conversion of such Preferred Shares that solely for purposes of
such conversion the Holder is relying on the New Variable Formula rather than
the Conversion Price then in effect. The New Variable Formula shall be equal to
ninety percent (90%) of the Variable Price. A Holder's election to rely on a New
Variable Formula for a particular conversion of Preferred Shares shall not
obligate the Holder to rely on a New Variable Formula for any future conversions
of Preferred Shares.
(v) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by
the provisions of this Section 2(e) but not expressly provided for by such
provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation
rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the
Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the
Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holders of the Preferred
Shares; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as
otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2(e).
(vi) Notices.
(A) Immediately upon any adjustment of the
Conversion Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to
each Holder of Preferred Shares, setting forth in reasonable
detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment.
(B) The Company will give written notice to each
Holder of Preferred Shares at least twenty (20) days prior to the
date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (I)
with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common
Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to
holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote
with respect to any Organic Change (as defined below),
dissolution or liquidation, provided that such information shall
be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such
notice being provided to such Holder.
<PAGE>
(C) The Company will also give written notice to
each Holder of Preferred Shares at least twenty (20) days prior
to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution or
liquidation will take place, provided that such information shall
be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such
notice being provided to such Holder.
(3) Redemption at Option of Holders.
(a) Redemption Option Upon Major Transaction. In addition to all other
rights of the Holders of Preferred Shares contained herein, upon the
consummation of a Major Transaction (as defined below), each Holder of Preferred
Shares shall have the right, at such Holder's option, to require the Company to
redeem all or a portion of such Holder's Preferred Shares at a price per
Preferred Share equal to the greater of (i) 120% of the Transaction Value of
such Preferred Share and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Rate in effect
at such time as such Holder delivers a Notice of Redemption at Option of Buyer
Upon Major Transaction (as defined below) and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the
Common Stock on the date immediately preceding such Major Transaction on which
the Principal Market, or the market or exchange where the Common Stock is then
traded, is open for trading ("Major Transaction Redemption Price").
(b) Redemption Option Upon Triggering Event. In addition to all other
rights of the Holders of Preferred Shares contained herein, after a Triggering
Event (as defined below), each Holder of Preferred Shares shall have the right,
at such Holder's option, to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of
such Holder's Preferred Shares at a price per Preferred Share equal to the
greater of (i) 120% of the Transaction Value and (ii) the product of (A) the
Conversion Rate in effect at such time as such Holder delivers a Notice of
Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon a Triggering Event (as defined below) and (B)
the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date immediately preceding
such Triggering Event on which the Principal Market, or the market or exchange
where the Common Stock is then traded, is open for trading ("Triggering Event
Redemption Price" and, collectively with "Major Transaction Redemption Price,"
the "Redemption Price").
(c) "Major Transaction". A "Major Transaction" shall be deemed to have
occurred at such time as any of the following events:
(i) the consolidation, merger or other business combination of
the Company with or into another Person (other than pursuant to a migratory
merger effected solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of
incorporation of the Company) involving the issuance, exchange or sale of more
than 30% of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding;
(ii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets; or
<PAGE>
(iii) a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to the holders of
more than 30% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(d) "Triggering Event". A "Triggering Event" shall be deemed to have
occurred at such time as any of the following events:
(i) while the Registration Statement is required to be maintained
effective pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement lapses for any reason (including,
without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) or is unavailable to the
Holder of the Preferred Shares for sale of all of the Registrable Securities (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in accordance with the terms of
the Registration Rights Agreement, and such lapse or unavailability continues
for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days, provided that the cause of
such lapse or unavailability is not due to factors solely within the control of
such Holder of Preferred Shares;
(ii) the suspension from trading or failure of the Common Stock
to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq Small-Cap Market, the OTC
Electronic Bulletin Board, The New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or The American
Stock Exchange, Inc. for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days or for
more than an aggregate of ten (10) trading days in any 365-day period (provided
that such failure shall not constitute a Triggering Event if caused by Holders
of Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 4(c) below);
(iii) the Company's or the Transfer Agent's notice to any Holder
of Preferred Shares, including by way of public announcement, at any time, of
its intention not to comply with a request for conversion of any Preferred
Shares into shares of Common Stock that is tendered in accordance with the
provisions of this Certificate of Designations, or the failure of the Transfer
Agent to comply with a Conversion Notice tendered in accordance with the
provisions of this Certificate of Designations within ten (10) Business Days
after the receipt by the Transfer Agent of the Conversion Notice;
(iv) upon the Company's receipt of a Conversion Notice, the
Company is not obligated to issue the Conversion Shares due to the provisions of
Section 12; or
(v) the Company breaches any material representation, warranty,
covenant or other term or condition of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement, this Certificate of Designations or any other
agreement, document, certificate or other instrument delivered in connection
with the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby.
(e) Mechanics of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction.
No sooner than 15 days nor later than 10 days prior to the consummation of a
Major Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via
facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice of Major Transaction") to each Holder
of Preferred Shares, which notice shall include the date by which a Holder
receiving a Notice of Major Transaction must provide the Company with notice of
its intent to exercise its redemption rights hereunder (which date shall not be
sooner than five business days after the date of the Notice of Major Transaction
(the "Major Transaction Response Date")). The Company shall publicly disclose
the material facts of such Major Transaction prior to or concurrently with
providing the Notice of Major Transaction, such public disclosure to be made not
later than 10 days prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction. At any
<PAGE>
time after receipt of a Notice of Major Transaction and prior to the Major
Transaction Response Date (or, in the event a Notice of Major Transaction is not
delivered at least 10 days prior to a Major Transaction, at any time prior to
the consummation of a Major Transaction) any Holder of Preferred Shares then
outstanding may require the Company to redeem all of the Holder's Preferred
Shares then outstanding by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and
overnight courier ("Notice of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Major
Transaction") to the Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon
Major Transaction shall indicate (i) the number of Preferred Shares that such
Holder is electing to redeem and (ii) the applicable Major Transaction
Redemption Price, as calculated pursuant to Section 3(a).
(f) Mechanics of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event.
Within one (1) day after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Company shall
deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice of
Triggering Event") to each Holder of Preferred Shares. At any time after the
earlier of a Holder's receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and such Holder
becoming aware of a Triggering Event, any Holder of Preferred Shares then
outstanding may require the Company to redeem all of the Preferred Shares by
delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice
of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event") to the Company, which
Notice of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event shall indicate (i)
the number of Preferred Shares that such Holder is electing to redeem and (ii)
the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price, as calculated pursuant to
Section 3(b) above.
(g) Payment of Redemption Price. Upon the Company's receipt of a
Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction or a Notice(s)
of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event, as the case may be, from
any Holder of Preferred Shares, the Company shall immediately notify each Holder
of Preferred Shares by facsimile of the Company's receipt of such notices and
each Holder which has sent such a notice shall promptly submit to the Transfer
Agent such Holder's Preferred Stock Certificates which such Holder has elected
to have redeemed. The Company shall deliver the applicable Redemption Price to
such Holder within five (5) Business Days after the Company's receipt of a
Notice of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event or Notice of
Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction; provided that a Holder's
Preferred Stock Certificates shall have been so delivered to the Transfer Agent.
If the Company is unable to redeem all of the Preferred Shares submitted for
redemption, the Company shall (i) redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder of
Preferred Shares based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for
redemption by such Holder relative to the total number of Preferred Shares
submitted for redemption by all Holders of Preferred Shares and (ii) in addition
to any remedy such Holder of Preferred Shares may have under this Certificate of
Designations and the Securities Purchase Agreement, pay to each Holder interest
at the rate of 2.5% per month (prorated for partial months) in respect of each
unredeemed Preferred Share until paid in full.
<PAGE>
(h) Void Redemption. In the event that the Company does not pay the
Redemption Price within the time period set forth in Section 3(g), at any time
thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid applicable Redemption Price in
full, a Holder of Preferred Shares shall have the option (the "Void Optional
Redemption Option") to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly
return to such Holder any or all of the Preferred Shares that were submitted for
redemption by such Holder under this Section 3 and for which the applicable
Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) has not been paid, by
sending written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile (the "Void Optional
Redemption Notice"). Upon the Company's receipt of such Void Optional Redemption
Notice, (i) the Notice of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering Event or
the Notice of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction, as the case
may be, shall be null and void with respect to those Preferred Shares subject to
the Void Optional Redemption Notice, (ii) the Company shall immediately return
any Preferred Shares subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice, (iii) the
Fixed Conversion Price of such returned Preferred Shares shall be adjusted to
the lesser of (A) the Fixed Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which
the Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and (B) the
lowest Closing Bid Price during the period beginning on the date on which the
Notice of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Major Transaction or the Notice of
Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon Triggering event, as the case may be, is
delivered to the Company and ending on the date on which the Void Optional
Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company, and (iv) the Conversion Price in
effect at such time shall be reduced by the percentage equal to the product of
(A) .25 and (B) the number of days in the period beginning on the date which is
five business days after the date on which the Notice of Redemption at Option of
Buyer Upon Major Transaction or the Notice of Redemption at Option of Buyer Upon
Triggering Event, as the case may be, is delivered to the Company and ending on
the date on which the Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the
Company.
(i) Disputes; Miscellaneous. In the event of a dispute as to the
determination of the Closing Bid Price, the Closing Sale Price or the arithmetic
calculation of the Redemption Price, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to
Section 2(e)(iii) above with the term "Closing Bid Price" and/or "Closing Sale
Price", as the case may be, being substituted for the term "Conversion Rate" and
the term "Redemption Price" being substituted for the term "Conversion Rate". A
Holder's delivery of a Void Optional Redemption Notice and exercise of its
rights following such notice shall not effect the Company's obligations to make
any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice. Payments
provided for in this Section 3 shall have priority to payments to other
stockholders in connection with a Major Transaction. In the event of a
redemption pursuant to this Section 3 of less than all of the Preferred Shares
represented by a particular Preferred Stock Certificate, the Company shall
promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder of such Preferred Shares
a preferred stock certificate representing the remaining Preferred Shares which
have not been redeemed.
(4) Other Rights of Holders.
(a) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to another Person or
other transaction which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock
are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock,
securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred
to herein as "Organic Change". Prior to the consummation of any (i) sale of all
or substantially all of the Company's assets to an acquiring Person or (ii)
other Organic Change following which the Company is not a surviving entity, the
Company will secure from the Person purchasing such assets or the successor
resulting from such Organic Change (in each case, the "Acquiring Entity") a
written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holders of a
majority of the Preferred Shares then outstanding) to deliver to each Holder of
Preferred Shares in exchange for such shares, a security of the Acquiring Entity
evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to
the Preferred Shares, including, without limitation, having a stated value and
liquidation preference equal to the Transaction Value and the Liquidation
Preference of the Preferred Shares held by such Holder, and satisfactory to the
Holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares then outstanding. Prior to the
consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate
provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holders of a majority of
the Preferred Shares then outstanding) to insure that each of the Holders of the
Preferred Shares will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu
of or in addition to (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock immediately
theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such Holder's
Preferred Shares such shares of stock, securities or assets that would have been
issued or payable in such Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the
number of shares of Common Stock which would have been acquirable and receivable
upon the conversion of such Holder's Preferred Shares as of the date of such
Organic Change (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on
the convertibility of the Preferred Shares).
(b) Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or
sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants,
securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of
Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Holders of Preferred Shares will
be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the
aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder
had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete
conversion of the Preferred Shares (without taking into account any limitations
or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares) immediately
before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record Holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale
of such Purchase Rights.
(c) Forced Delisting. If a redemption voided pursuant to Section 3(h)
was caused by a Triggering Event involving the Company's inability to issue
Conversion Shares because of the Primary Exchange Cap (as defined in Section
12), and if so directed by the Holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the
Preferred Shares then outstanding, including shares of Preferred Shares
submitted for redemption pursuant to Section 3 with respect to which the
<PAGE>
applicable Redemption Price has not been paid, in a Void Mandatory Redemption
Notice, the Company shall immediately delist the Common Stock from exchange or
automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is traded and have the
Common Stock, at such Holders' option, traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin
Board or the "pink sheets".
(5) Company Redemption.
(a) Company's Right to Redeem at Its Election. Subject to Sections
5(d) and 5(e) below, on the date which is 180 calendar days after the Issuance
Date, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to redeem
("Redemption at the Company's Election"), from time to time, any or all of the
Preferred Shares at the Redemption Price at the Company's Election (as defined
below). If the Company elects to redeem some, but not all, of the Preferred
Shares, the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of Preferred
Shares based on the number of Preferred Shares held by such holder relative to
the number of Preferred Shares outstanding.
(i) Redemption Price at the Company's Election. The "Redemption
Price at the Company's Election" shall be an amount per Preferred Share equal to
the sum of (A) the then Transaction Value and (B) any accrued but unpaid Regular
Dividends and Participating Dividends.
(b) Mechanics of Redemption at the Company's Election. The Company
shall effect each such redemption no earlier than twenty (20) trading days and
no later than forty (40) trading days after delivering written notice of its
Redemption at the Company's Election via facsimile and overnight courier
("Notice of Company Redemption") to (A) each holder of the Preferred Shares and
(B) the Transfer Agent. Such Notice of Company Redemption shall indicate (I) the
number of Preferred Shares that have been selected for redemption, (II) the date
that such redemption is to become effective (the "Date of Company Redemption")
and (III) the applicable Redemption Price at the Company's Election.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, any Holder may convert into
Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2, on or prior to the date immediately
preceding the Date of Company Redemption, any Preferred Shares held by such
Holder including Preferred Shares that have been selected for Redemption at the
Company's Election pursuant to this Section 6.
(c) Payment of Redemption Price. Each Holder submitting Preferred
Shares being redeemed under this Section 6 shall send such Holder's Preferred
Stock Certificates so redeemed to the Transfer Agent within five (5) Business
Days before the Date of Company Redemption, and the Company shall pay the
applicable redemption price to that Holder in cash within three (3) Business
Days after such Holder's Preferred Stock Certificates are delivered to the
Company or its Transfer Agent. If the Company shall fail to pay the applicable
redemption price to such holder on a timely basis as described in this Section
5, in addition to any remedy such holder of Preferred Shares may have under this
Certificate of Designations and the Securities Purchase Agreement, such unpaid
amount shall bear interest at the rate of 2.5% per month until paid in full and
the Conversion Percentage, or any subsequent Conversion Percentage, then in
effect shall be reduced by ten (10) percentage points. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Company fails to pay the applicable redemption price to a
holder within the time period described this Section 5 due to a dispute as to
the arithmetic calculation of the redemption price, such dispute shall be
resolved pursuant to Section 2(e)(iii) above with the term "applicable
redemption price" being substituted for the term "Conversion Rate."
<PAGE>
(d) Company Must Have Immediately Available Funds or Credit
Facilities. The Company shall not be entitled to send any Notice of Company
Redemption pursuant to Section 5(b) above and begin the redemption procedure
under this Section 5, unless it has:
(i) the full amount of the applicable redemption price in cash,
available in a demand or other immediately available account in a bank or
similar financial institution;
(ii) credit facilities, with a bank or similar financial
institutions that are immediately available and unrestricted for us in redeeming
the Preferred Shares, in the full amount of the applicable redemption price;
(iii) a written agreement with a standby underwriter or qualified
buyer ready, willing and able to purchase from the Company a sufficient number
of shares of stock to provide proceeds necessary to redeem any stock that is not
converted prior to an applicable Redemption at the Company's Election; or
(iv) a combination of the items set forth in the preceding
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), aggregating the full amount of the applicable
redemption price.
(e) Certain Conditions During Notice Period. The Company shall not be
entitled to redeem the Preferred Shares on a Date of Company Redemption, unless
each of the following conditions are satisfied as of the date of the Notice of
Company Redemption and on each day from such date until and including the later
of the Date of Company Redemption and the date on which the Company pays the
applicable Redemption Price:
(i) The Registration Statement shall be effective and available
for the sale of no less than 200% of the sum of (I) the number of Conversion
Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) then issuable upon the
conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares and (II) the number of Warrant
Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) then issuable upon
exercise of all outstanding Warrants and (III) the number of Conversion Shares
and Warrant Shares that are then held by the holders of such shares;
(ii) The Common Stock is designated for quotation on the Nasdaq
National Market, Nasdaq Small-Cap Market, OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, The New
York Stock Exchange, Inc. or The American Stock Exchange, Inc. and is not
suspended from trading; and
<PAGE>
(iii) The Company otherwise has satisfied its obligations and is
not in default under this Certificate of Designations, the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement.
(6) Reservation of Shares.
(a) Authorized and Reserved Amount. The Company shall, at all times so
long as any of the Preferred Shares are outstanding, reserve and keep available
out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, such number of shares (the
"Reserved Amount") of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to
effect the conversion of all of the Preferred Shares then outstanding; provided
that the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved shall at no time be less
than two hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which the Preferred Shares are at any time convertible (including but not
limited to any accrued but unpaid Regular Dividends, assuming any such accrued
but unpaid Regular Dividends are paid on such date by delivery of shares of
Common Stock if the Company elected to pay such Regular Dividends in Common
Stock) (the "Minimum Amount"). The initial number of shares of Common Stock
reserved for conversions of the Preferred Shares and each increase in the number
of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders of the
Preferred Shares based on the number of Preferred Shares held by each Holder at
the time of issuance of the Preferred Shares or increase in the number of
reserved shares, as the case may be. In the event a Holder shall sell or
otherwise transfer any of such Holder's Preferred Shares, each transferee shall
be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of reserved shares of Common Stock
reserved for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated
to any Person which ceases to hold any Preferred Shares shall be allocated to
the remaining Holders of Preferred Shares, pro rata based on the number of
Preferred Shares then held by such Holders.
(b) Increases to Reserved Amount. Without limiting any other provision
of this Section 6, if the Reserved Amount for any three (3) consecutive trading
days (the last of such three (3) trading days being the "Reservation Trigger
Date") shall be less than two hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the related Warrants on such trading days (a "Share
Authorization Failure"), the Company shall immediately notify all Holders of
such occurrence and shall take action as soon as possible, but in any event
within thirty (30) days after a Reservation Trigger Date (including, if
necessary, seeking shareholder approval to authorize the issuance of additional
shares of Common Stock) to increase the Reserved Amount to two hundred percent
(200%) of the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of
the Preferred Shares.
(7) Voting Rights. Holders of Preferred Shares shall have no voting rights,
except as required by law, including but not limited to the General Corporation
Law of the State of Nevada, and as expressly provided in this Certificate of
Designations.
(8) Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of any voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Holders
of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets
of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution
to its stockholders (the "Liquidation Funds"), before any amount shall be paid
to the holders of any of the capital stock of the Company of any class junior in
<PAGE>
rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to the
distributions and payments on the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the
Company, an amount per Preferred Share equal to $100 and any accrued but unpaid
Regular Dividends and Participating Dividends (such sum being referred to as the
"Liquidation Preference"); provided that, if the Liquidation Funds are
insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders of Preferred Shares and
holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred stock of the Company
that are of equal rank with the Preferred Shares as to payments of Liquidation
Funds (the "Pari Passu Shares"), then each Holder of Preferred Shares and Pari
Passu Shares shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the
full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder as a liquidation
preference, in accordance with their respective Certificate of Designations,
Preferences and Rights, as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds
payable to all Holders of Preferred Shares and holders of Pari Passu Shares. In
addition to the receipt of the Liquidation Preference, in the event of any
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
the Holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive Liquidation
Funds distributed to holders of Common Stock, after the Liquidation Preference
has been paid, to the same extent as if such Holders of Preferred Shares had
converted the Preferred Shares into Common Stock (without regard to any
limitations on conversions herein or elsewhere) and had held such shares of
Common Stock on the record date for such distribution of the remaining
Liquidation Funds. The purchase or redemption by the Company of stock of any
class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be
regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Neither the
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person, nor the
sale or transfer by the Company of less than substantially all of its assets,
shall, for the purposes hereof, be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company. No Holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to
receive any amounts with respect thereto upon any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company other than the amounts provided for herein; provided
that a Holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to all amounts previously
accrued with respect to amounts owed hereunder.
(9) Preferred Rank. All shares of Common Stock shall be of junior rank to
all Preferred Shares in respect to the preferences as to distributions and
payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The
rights of the shares of Common Stock shall be subject to the preferences and
relative rights of the Preferred Shares. Without the prior express written
consent of the Holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the then outstanding
Preferred Shares, the Company shall not hereafter authorize or issue additional
or other capital stock that is of senior or equal rank to the Preferred Shares
in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon the
liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. Without the prior
express written consent of the Holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the
then outstanding Preferred Shares, the Company shall not hereafter authorize or
make any amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, or file
any resolution of the board of directors of the Company with the Nevada
Secretary of State or enter into any agreement containing any provisions, which
would adversely affect or otherwise impair the rights or relative priority of
the Holders of the Preferred Shares relative to the holders of the Common Stock
or the holders of any other class of capital stock. In the event of the merger
or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the Preferred
Shares shall maintain their relative powers, designations and preferences
provided for herein and no merger shall result inconsistent therewith.
<PAGE>
(10) Participation. Subject to the rights of the Holders, if any, of the
Pari Passu Shares, the Holders of the Preferred Shares shall, as Holders of
Preferred Stock, be entitled to such dividends paid and distributions made to
the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders of Preferred
Shares had converted the Preferred Shares into Common Stock (without regard to
any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere) and had held such shares of
Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments
under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or
distribution to the holders of Common Stock.
(11) Restriction on Redemption and Cash Dividends. Until all of the
Preferred Shares have been converted or redeemed as provided herein, the Company
shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem, or declare or pay any cash dividend
or distribution on, its Common Stock without the prior express written consent
of the Holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the then outstanding
Preferred Shares.
(12) Limitation on Number of Conversion Shares. The Company shall not be
obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed that number
of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon Conversion of the
Preferred Shares (the "Exchange Cap") without breaching the Company's
obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market, or the
market or exchange where the Common Stock is then traded, except that such
limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (a) obtains the
approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the
Principal Market, or the market or exchange where the Common Stock is then
traded, (or any successor rule or regulation) for issuances of Common Stock in
excess of such amount or (b) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to
the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares
then outstanding. Until such approval or written opinion is obtained, no
purchaser of Preferred Shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the
"Purchasers") shall be issued, upon conversion of Preferred Shares, shares of
Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap
amount multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
Preferred Shares issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of all the
Preferred Shares issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement (the "Cap Allocation Amount"). In the event that any Purchaser shall
sell or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser's Preferred Shares, the
transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Purchaser's Cap
Allocation Amount. In the event that any Holder of Preferred Shares shall
convert all of such Holder's Preferred Shares into a number of shares of Common
Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such Holder's Cap Allocation Amount,
then the difference between such Holder's Cap Allocation Amount and the number
of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such Holder shall be allocated to
the respective Cap Allocation Amounts of the remaining Holders of Preferred
Shares on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of Preferred Shares then
held by each such Holder.
<PAGE>
(13) Vote to Change the Terms of Preferred Shares. The affirmative vote at
a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting,
of the Holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the then outstanding
Preferred Shares, shall be required for any change to this Certificate of
Designations or the Company's Articles of Incorporation which would amend,
alter, change or repeal any of the powers, designations, preferences and rights
of the Preferred Shares.
(14) Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificates representing the Preferred
Shares, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification
undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred Stock
Certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new preferred stock
certificate(s) of like tenor and date; provided, however, the Company shall not
be obligated to re-issue preferred stock certificates if the Holder
contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such Preferred Shares into
Common Stock.
(15) Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and
Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations
shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this
Certificate of Designations, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific
performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy contained herein shall be
deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and
nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages for any
failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of
Designations. The Company covenants to each Holder of Preferred Shares that
there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as
expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect
to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the
amounts to be received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly
provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the
performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders of the
Preferred Shares and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be
inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach
or threatened breach, the Holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any
breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or
other security being required.
(16) Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision
contained in this Certificate of Designations shall limit or modify any more
general provision contained herein. This Certificate of Designations shall be
deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all Buyers and shall not be
construed against any person as the drafter hereof.
(17) Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a
Holder of Preferred Shares in the exercise of any power, right or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

hereof then registered on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, at any
time on any Business Day on or after the opening of business on the date hereof
and prior to 11:59 P.M. Central Time on the Expiration Date by (i) delivery of a
written notice, in the form of the subscription notice attached as Exhibit A
hereto (the "Exercise Notice"), of such holder's election to exercise this
<PAGE>
Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be
purchased, (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant
Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this
Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) (the
"Aggregate Exercise Price") in cash or by check or wire transfer or (B) by
notifying the Company that it should subtract from the number of Warrant Shares
issuable to the holder upon such exercise an amount of Warrant Shares having a
last reported closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg) on the date
immediately preceding the date of the subscription notice equal to the Aggregate
Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised
(a "Cashless Exercise"), and (iii) the surrender to a common carrier for
delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date, this Warrant
(or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of
its loss, theft or destruction); provided, that if such Warrant Shares are to be
issued in any name other than that of the registered holder of this Warrant,
such issuance shall be deemed a transfer and the provisions of Section 7 shall
be applicable. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant in compliance with this Section 2(a), a certificate or certificates for
the Warrant Shares so purchased, in such denominations as may be requested by
the holder hereof and registered in the name of, or as directed by, the holder,
shall be delivered at the Company's expense to, or as directed by, such holder
as soon as practicable, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days (as
defined in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the
Preferred Shares), after the Company's receipt of the Exercise Notice, the
Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking
with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).
Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in
clause (ii) (A) above or notification to the Company of a Cashless Exercise
referred to in clause (ii)(B) above, the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed
for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant
Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of
the date of delivery of this Warrant as required by clause (iii) above or the
certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. In the case of a dispute as to the
determination of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly issue to
the holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall
submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the holder via
facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the holder's subscription
notice. If the holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination
of the Warrant Exercise Price or arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares
within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic
calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall immediately
submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise
Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm or (ii) the disputed
arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to its independent, outside
accountant. The Company shall cause the investment banking firm or the
accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations
and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than forty-eight
(48) hours from the time it receives the disputed determinations or
calculations. Such investment banking firm's or accountant's determination or
calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest
error and the Company shall be liable for the costs and expenses related to such
determination or calculation.
(b) Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired
or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as practicable
and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its
own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant
exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant
exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant
is exercised.
<PAGE>
(c) No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock issued
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole
number.
(d) If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue
to the holder on a timely basis as described in this Section 2, a certificate
for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder is entitled upon
the holder's exercise of this Warrant or a new Warrant for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2(b)
hereof, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies under this Warrant
or the Securities Purchase Agreement or otherwise available to such holder,
including any indemnification under the Securities Purchase Agreement, pay as
additional damages in cash to such holder on each day the issuance of such
Common Stock certificate or new Warrant, as the case may be, is not timely
effected an amount equal to .25% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of
shares of Common Stock not issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which
the holder is entitled and/or, the number of shares represented by the portion
of this Warrant which is not being converted, as the case may be, and (B) the
average of the closing bid price of the Common Stock for the three consecutive
trading days immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company
could have issued such Common Stock or Warrant, as the case may be, to the
holder without violating this Section 2.
(e) The Company shall not affect any exercise of any Warrant and no
holder of any Warrant shall have the right to exercise any Warrant pursuant to
Section 2 to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise such Person
(together with such Person's affiliates) (A) would beneficially own in excess of
4.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such conversion and
(B) would have acquired, through exercise of any Warrant or otherwise (including
without limitation, conversion of any Preferred Shares issued pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement), in excess of 4.9% of the outstanding shares of
the Common Stock following such exercise during the 60-day period ending on and
including such exercise date. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number
of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Person and its affiliates or
acquired by a Person and its affiliates, as the case may be, shall include the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants with
respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall
exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i)
exercise of the remaining, nonexercisable Warrants beneficially owned by such
Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any Preferred Shares) subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such
Person and its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for
purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each
Exercise Notice shall constitute a representation by the holder submitting such
Exercise Notice that, after giving effect to such Exercise Notice, (A) the
holder will not beneficially own (as determined in accordance with this Section
2(e)) and (B) during the 60-day period ending on and including such exercise
date, the holder will not have acquired, through exercise of any Warrant or
otherwise, a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.9% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in the Company's most recent
Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, or more recent public press release
<PAGE>
or other public notice by the Company setting forth the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding, but after giving effect to exercise of any Warrant by
such holder since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock was reported.
Section 3. Covenants as to Common Stock. The Company hereby covenants and
agrees as follows:
(a) This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or
replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and validly
issued.
(b) All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect
to the issue thereof.
(c) During the period within which the rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved at least 200% of the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide
for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and the par
value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable
Warrant Exercise Price.
(d) The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant upon each national
securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of
Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon
exercise of this Warrant) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of
Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares of Common Stock from
time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall
so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as
the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital
stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long
as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities
exchange or automated quotation system.
(e) The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the
taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this
Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant
against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of
this Warrant will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(f) This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the
Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of
the Company's assets.
<PAGE>
Section 4. Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be
payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant.
Section 5. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be
entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the
Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be
construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any
corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification
of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of
meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the
issuance to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he or she is
then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition,
nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities
on such holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or
otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this
Section 5, the Company will provide the holder of this Warrant with copies of
the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company
generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.
Section 6. Representations of Holder. The holder of this Warrant, by the
acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and Warrant
Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or
for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant
or Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the
Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein,
the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or Warrant Shares for any minimum
or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and
Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration
statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant
further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such holder is
an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
(an "Accredited Investor").
Section 7. Ownership and Transfer.
(a) The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or
such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the
holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record
the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued,
as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the
person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and
holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but
in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of
this Warrant.
(b) This Warrant and the rights granted to the holder hereof are
transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant, together with
a properly executed warrant power in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto;
provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 7(c) below.
<PAGE>
(c) The holder of this Warrant understands that this Warrant has not
been and is not expected to be, registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred
unless (a) subsequently registered thereunder, or (b) such holder shall have
delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in generally acceptable form, to
the effect that the securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold,
assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration;
provided that (i) any sale of such securities made in reliance on Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act may be made only in accordance with the
terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule is not applicable, any resale of
such securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through
whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is
defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption
under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission thereunder; and (ii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register the Warrants under the Securities Act
or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder.
(d) The Company is obligated to register the Warrant Shares for resale
under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated
April 7, 2000 by and between the Company and the Buyers listed on the signature
page thereto (the "Registration Rights Agreement") and the initial holder of
this Warrant (and certain assignees thereof) is entitled to the registration
rights in respect of the Warrant Shares as set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement.
Section 8. Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The
Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon
Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the date of issuance of
this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 8(b) is
deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the
issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account
of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
by the Company in connection with an Approved Stock Plan or upon exercise or
conversion of the Other Securities) for a consideration per share less than the
Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such time (the "Applicable
Price"), then immediately after such issue or sale the Warrant Exercise Price
then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of
the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issue or sale. Upon
each such adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price hereunder, the number of
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment.
(b) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes
of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 8(a) above, the
following shall be applicable:
<PAGE>
(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any
Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange of
any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less
than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the
granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this
Section 8(b)(i), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock
is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any
one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise
of the Option and upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security
issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Warrant
Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of
such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any
manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange
thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall
be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at
the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price
per share. For the purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii), the "lowest price per
share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or
exchange" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if
any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common
Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion
or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Warrant
Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or
sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for
which adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price had been or are to be made
pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(b), no further adjustment of the
Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the
purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any Convertible
Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Warrant Exercise Price
in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Exercise
Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional
consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold and the number of shares of Common Stock
acquirable hereunder shall be correspondingly readjusted. For purposes of this
Section 8(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was
outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are changed in the manner
described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible
Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or
exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such
change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an
increase of the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect.
<PAGE>
(c) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes
of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Sections 8(a) and 8(b),
the following shall be applicable:
(i) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is
issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company,
together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options
will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $.01. If any Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have
been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed
to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other
than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the
fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of
securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
will be the market price of such securities for the twenty (20) consecutive
trading days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving
entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving
entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value
of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is
attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the
case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities
will be determined jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants
representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise
of the Warrants then outstanding. If such parties are unable to reach agreement
within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the
"Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined
within five Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation
Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and
the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock
obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding. The determination of
such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties and the fees and
expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(ii) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or
other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities
or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or
sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the
declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the
date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may
be.
(d) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Subdivision or
Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the date of
issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and
the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant
will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the date of
issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares
of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately
decreased.
<PAGE>
(e) Distribution of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make any
dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets)
to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including,
without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities,
property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate
rearrangement or other transaction) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the
issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:
(i) the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as
of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by
multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator
shall be the Closing bid price on the trading day immediately preceding such
record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by
the Company's Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and
(B) the denominator shall be the Closing bid price on the trading day
immediately preceding such record date; and
(ii) either (A) the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of
business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the
fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i), or (B) in the event
that the Distribution is of common stock of a company whose common stock is
traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation
system, then the holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional warrant to
purchase Common Stock, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this
Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the amount of the
assets that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to
the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such
record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by which the exercise
price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to
the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).
(f) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by
the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such
provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation
rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the
Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant
Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise
of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants;
provided that no such adjustment will increase the Warrant Exercise Price or
decrease the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise determined
pursuant to this Section 8.
<PAGE>
(g) Notices.
(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise
Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of this
Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of
such adjustment.
(ii) The Company will give written notice to the holder of this
Warrant at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the Company closes
its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution
upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to
holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to
any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or liquidation, provided that
such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction
with such notice being provided to such holder.
(iii) The Company will also give written notice to the holder of
this Warrant at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which any Organic
Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place, provided that such
information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with
such notice being provided to such holder.
(h) Holder's Right of Alternative Warrant Exercise Price Following
Issuance of Convertible Securities or Options. If after the Closing Date the
Company in any manner issues or sells Convertible Securities or Options that are
convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable into Common Stock at a price
which varies with the market price of the Common Stock (the formulation for such
variable price being herein referred to as, the "Variable Price"), the Company
shall provide written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to each
Holder of the Preferred Shares ("Variable Notice") on the date of issuance of
such Convertible Securities or Options. From and after the date the Company
issues any such Convertible Securities or Options with a Variable Price, the
holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to
substitute the New Variable Formula (defined below) for the Warrant Exercise
Price upon exercise of the Warrant by designating in the Exercise Notice
delivered upon exercise of the Warrant that solely for purposes of such
conversion the holder is relying on the New Variable Formula rather than the
Warrant Exercise Price then in effect. The New Variable Formula shall be equal
to ninety percent (90%) of the Variable Price. A holder's election to rely on a
New Variable Formula for a particular conversion of the Warrant shall not
obligate such holder to rely on a New Variable Formula for any future exercise
of Warrants.
Section 9. Purchase Rights; Reorganization, Reclassification,
Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(a) In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 above, if at
any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to
the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then
the holder of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms
applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such
holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately
before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale
of such Purchase Rights.
<PAGE>
(b) Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
to another Person or other transaction which is effected in such a way that
holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon
subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as "Organic Change." Prior to
the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other Organic Change following which the
Company is not a surviving entity, the Company will secure from the Person
purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in
each case, the "Acquiring Entity") written agreement (in form and substance
satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the shares of
Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to
deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants, a security of
the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in
form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the holders of the
Warrants (including, an adjusted warrant exercise price equal to the value for
the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale,
and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
and receivable upon exercise of the Warrants, if the value so reflected is less
than the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger or sale). Prior to the consummation of any other Organic
Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance
satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the shares of
Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to
insure that each of the holders of the Warrants will thereafter have the right
to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the
shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon
the exercise of such holder's Warrants, such shares of stock, securities or
assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with
respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock which would
have been acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder's Warrant
as of the date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any
limitations or restrictions on the exerciseability of this Warrant).
Section 10. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant
is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on receipt of an
indemnification undertaking, issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor
as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
Section 11. Notice. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications
required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant must be in
writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when
delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided
confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including without
limitation, Section 2(e) below), this Warrant may be exercised by the holder
hereof then registered on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, at any
time on any Business Day on or after the opening of business on the date hereof
and prior to 11:59 P.M. Central Time on the Expiration Date by (i) delivery of a
written notice, in the form of the subscription notice attached as Exhibit A
hereto (the "Exercise Notice"), of such holder's election to exercise this
Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be
purchased, (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant
Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this
Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) (the
"Aggregate Exercise Price") in cash or by check or wire transfer or (B) by
notifying the Company that it should subtract from the number of Warrant Shares
issuable to the holder upon such exercise an amount of Warrant Shares having a
last reported closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg) on the date
immediately preceding the date of the subscription notice equal to the Aggregate
Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised
(a "Cashless Exercise"), and (iii) the surrender to a common carrier for
delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date, this Warrant
(or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of
its loss, theft or destruction); provided, that if such Warrant Shares are to be
issued in any name other than that of the registered holder of this Warrant,
such issuance shall be deemed a transfer and the provisions of Section 7 shall
be applicable. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant in compliance with this Section 2(a), a certificate or certificates for
the Warrant Shares so purchased, in such denominations as may be requested by
the holder hereof and registered in the name of, or as directed by, the holder,
shall be delivered at the Company's expense to, or as directed by, such holder
as soon as practicable, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days (as
defined in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the
Preferred Shares), after the Company's receipt of the Exercise Notice, the
Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking
with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).
Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in
clause (ii) (A) above or notification to the Company of a Cashless Exercise
referred to in clause (ii)(B) above, the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed
for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant
Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of
the date of delivery of this Warrant as required by clause (iii) above or the
certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. In the case of a dispute as to the
determination of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly issue to
the holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall
submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the holder via
facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the holder's subscription
notice. If the holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination
of the Warrant Exercise Price or arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares
within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic
calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall immediately
submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise
Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm or (ii) the disputed
arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to its independent, outside
accountant. The Company shall cause the investment banking firm or the
accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations
and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than forty-eight
(48) hours from the time it receives the disputed determinations or
calculations. Such investment banking firm's or accountant's determination or
calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest
error and the Company shall be liable for the costs and expenses related to such
determination or calculation.
<PAGE>
(b) Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired
or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as practicable
and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its
own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant
exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant
exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant
is exercised.
(c) No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock issued
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole
number.
(d) If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue
to the holder on a timely basis as described in this Section 2, a certificate
for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder is entitled upon
the holder's exercise of this Warrant or a new Warrant for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2(b)
hereof, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies under this Warrant
or the Securities Purchase Agreement or otherwise available to such holder,
including any indemnification under the Securities Purchase Agreement, pay as
additional damages in cash to such holder on each day the issuance of such
Common Stock certificate or new Warrant, as the case may be, is not timely
effected an amount equal to .25% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of
shares of Common Stock not issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which
the holder is entitled and/or, the number of shares represented by the portion
of this Warrant which is not being converted, as the case may be, and (B) the
average of the closing bid price of the Common Stock for the three consecutive
trading days immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company
could have issued such Common Stock or Warrant, as the case may be, to the
holder without violating this Section 2.
(e) The Company shall not affect any exercise of any Warrant and no
holder of any Warrant shall have the right to exercise any Warrant pursuant to
Section 2 to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise such Person
(together with such Person's affiliates) (A) would beneficially own in excess of
4.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such conversion and
(B) would have acquired, through exercise of any Warrant or otherwise (including
without limitation, conversion of any Preferred Shares issued pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement), in excess of 4.9% of the outstanding shares of
the Common Stock following such exercise during the 60-day period ending on and
including such exercise date. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number
of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Person and its affiliates or
acquired by a Person and its affiliates, as the case may be, shall include the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants with
respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall
exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i)
exercise of the remaining, nonexercisable Warrants beneficially owned by such
Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any Preferred Shares) subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such
Person and its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for
purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each
Exercise Notice shall constitute a representation by the holder submitting such
Exercise Notice that, after giving effect to such Exercise Notice, (A) the
holder will not beneficially own (as determined in accordance with this Section
2(e)) and (B) during the 60-day period ending on and including such exercise
<PAGE>
date, the holder will not have acquired, through exercise of any Warrant or
otherwise, a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.9% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in the Company's most recent
Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, or more recent public press release
or other public notice by the Company setting forth the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding, but after giving effect to exercise of any Warrant by
such holder since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock was reported.
Section 3. Covenants as to Common Stock. The Company hereby covenants and
agrees as follows:
(a) This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or
replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and validly
issued.
(b) All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect
to the issue thereof.
(c) During the period within which the rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved at least 200% of the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide
for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and the par
value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable
Warrant Exercise Price.
(d) The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant upon each national
securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of
Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon
exercise of this Warrant) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of
Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares of Common Stock from
time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall
so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as
the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital
stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long
as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities
exchange or automated quotation system.
(e) The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the
taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this
Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant
against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of
this Warrant will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
<PAGE>
(f) This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the
Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of
the Company's assets.
Section 4. Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be
payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant.
Section 5. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be
entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the
Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be
construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any
corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification
of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of
meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the
issuance to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he or she is
then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition,
nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities
on such holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or
otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this
Section 5, the Company will provide the holder of this Warrant with copies of
the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company
generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.
Section 6. Representations of Holder. The holder of this Warrant, by the
acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and Warrant
Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or
for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant
or Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the
Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein,
the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or Warrant Shares for any minimum
or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and
Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration
statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant
further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such holder is
an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
(an "Accredited Investor").
Section 7. Ownership and Transfer.
(a) The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or
such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the
holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record
the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued,
as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the
person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and
holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but
in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of
this Warrant.
(b) This Warrant and the rights granted to the holder hereof are
transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant, together with
a properly executed warrant power in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto;
provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 7(c) below.
<PAGE>
(c) The holder of this Warrant understands that this Warrant has not
been and is not expected to be, registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred
unless (a) subsequently registered thereunder, or (b) such holder shall have
delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in generally acceptable form, to
the effect that the securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold,
assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration;
provided that (i) any sale of such securities made in reliance on Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act may be made only in accordance with the
terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule is not applicable, any resale of
such securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through
whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is
defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption
under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission thereunder; and (ii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register the Warrants under the Securities Act
or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder.
(d) The Company is obligated to register the Warrant Shares for resale
under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated
April 7, 2000 by and between the Company and the Buyers listed on the signature
page thereto (the "Registration Rights Agreement") and the initial holder of
this Warrant (and certain assignees thereof) is entitled to the registration
rights in respect of the Warrant Shares as set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement.
Section 8. Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The
Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon
Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the date of issuance of
this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 8(b) is
deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the
issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account
of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
by the Company in connection with an Approved Stock Plan or upon exercise or
conversion of the Other Securities) for a consideration per share less than the
Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such time (the "Applicable
Price"), then immediately after such issue or sale the Warrant Exercise Price
then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of
the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issue or sale. Upon
each such adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price hereunder, the number of
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment.
<PAGE>
(b) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes
of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 8(a) above, the
following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any
Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange of
any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less
than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the
granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this
Section 8(b)(i), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock
is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any
one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise
of the Option and upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security
issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Warrant
Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of
such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any
manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange
thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall
be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at
the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price
per share. For the purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii), the "lowest price per
share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or
exchange" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if
any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common
Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion
or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Warrant
Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or
sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for
which adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price had been or are to be made
pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(b), no further adjustment of the
Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the
purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any Convertible
Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Warrant Exercise Price
in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Exercise
Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional
consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold and the number of shares of Common Stock
acquirable hereunder shall be correspondingly readjusted. For purposes of this
Section 8(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was
outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are changed in the manner
described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible
Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or
exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such
change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an
increase of the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect.
<PAGE>
(c) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes
of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Sections 8(a) and 8(b),
the following shall be applicable:
(i) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is
issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company,
together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options
will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $.01. If any Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have
been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed
to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other
than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the
fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of
securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
will be the market price of such securities for the twenty (20) consecutive
trading days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving
entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving
entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value
of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is
attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the
case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities
will be determined jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants
representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise
of the Warrants then outstanding. If such parties are unable to reach agreement
within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the
"Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined
within five Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation
Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and
the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock
obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding. The determination of
such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties and the fees and
expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(ii) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or
other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities
or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or
sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the
declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the
date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may
be.
(d) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Subdivision or
Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the date of
issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and
the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant
will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the date of
issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares
of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately
decreased.
<PAGE>
(e) Distribution of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make any
dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets)
to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including,
without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities,
property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate
rearrangement or other transaction) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the
issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:
(i) the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as
of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by
multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator
shall be the Closing bid price on the trading day immediately preceding such
record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by
the Company's Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and
(B) the denominator shall be the Closing bid price on the trading day
immediately preceding such record date; and
(ii) either (A) the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of
business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the
fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i), or (B) in the event
that the Distribution is of common stock of a company whose common stock is
traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation
system, then the holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional warrant to
purchase Common Stock, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this
Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the amount of the
assets that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to
the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such
record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by which the exercise
price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to
the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).
(f) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by
the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such
provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation
rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the
Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant
Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise
of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants;
provided that no such adjustment will increase the Warrant Exercise Price or
decrease the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise determined
pursuant to this Section 8.
<PAGE>
(g) Notices.
(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise
Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of this
Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of
such adjustment.
(ii) The Company will give written notice to the holder of this
Warrant at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the Company closes
its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution
upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to
holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to
any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or liquidation, provided that
such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction
with such notice being provided to such holder.
(iii) The Company will also give written notice to the holder of
this Warrant at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which any Organic
Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place, provided that such
information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with
such notice being provided to such holder.
(h) Holder's Right of Alternative Warrant Exercise Price Following
Issuance of Convertible Securities or Options. If after the Closing Date the
Company in any manner issues or sells Convertible Securities or Options that are
convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable into Common Stock at a price
which varies with the market price of the Common Stock (the formulation for such
variable price being herein referred to as, the "Variable Price"), the Company
shall provide written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to each
Holder of the Preferred Shares ("Variable Notice") on the date of issuance of
such Convertible Securities or Options. From and after the date the Company
issues any such Convertible Securities or Options with a Variable Price, the
holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to
substitute the New Variable Formula (defined below) for the Warrant Exercise
Price upon exercise of the Warrant by designating in the Exercise Notice
delivered upon exercise of the Warrant that solely for purposes of such
conversion the holder is relying on the New Variable Formula rather than the
Warrant Exercise Price then in effect. The New Variable Formula shall be equal
to ninety percent (90%) of the Variable Price. A holder's election to rely on a
New Variable Formula for a particular conversion of the Warrant shall not
obligate such holder to rely on a New Variable Formula for any future exercise
of Warrants.
Section 9. Purchase Rights; Reorganization, Reclassification,
Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(a) In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 above, if at
any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to
the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then
the holder of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms
applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such
holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately
before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale
of such Purchase Rights.
<PAGE>
(b) Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
to another Person or other transaction which is effected in such a way that
holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon
subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as "Organic Change." Prior to
the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other Organic Change following which the
Company is not a surviving entity, the Company will secure from the Person
purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in
each case, the "Acquiring Entity") written agreement (in form and substance
satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the shares of
Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to
deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants, a security of
the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in
form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the holders of the
Warrants (including, an adjusted warrant exercise price equal to the value for
the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale,
and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
and receivable upon exercise of the Warrants, if the value so reflected is less
than the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger or sale). Prior to the consummation of any other Organic
Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance
satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the shares of
Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to
insure that each of the holders of the Warrants will thereafter have the right
to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the
shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon
the exercise of such holder's Warrants, such shares of stock, securities or
assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with
respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock which would
have been acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder's Warrant
as of the date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any
limitations or restrictions on the exerciseability of this Warrant).
Section 10. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant
is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on receipt of an
indemnification undertaking, issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor
as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
Section 11. Notice. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications
required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant must be in

Section 2. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including without
limitation, Section 2(e) below), this Warrant may be exercised by the holder
hereof then registered on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, at any
time on any Business Day on or after the opening of business on the date hereof
and prior to 11:59 P.M. Central Time on the Expiration Date by (i) delivery of a
written notice, in the form of the subscription notice attached as Exhibit A
hereto (the "Exercise Notice"), of such holder's election to exercise this
Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be
purchased, (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant
Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this
Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) (the
"Aggregate Exercise Price") in cash or by check or wire transfer or (B) by
notifying the Company that it should subtract from the number of Warrant Shares
issuable to the holder upon such exercise an amount of Warrant Shares having a
last reported closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg) on the date
immediately preceding the date of the subscription notice equal to the Aggregate
Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised
(a "Cashless Exercise"), and (iii) the surrender to a common carrier for
delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date, this Warrant
(or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of
its loss, theft or destruction); provided, that if such Warrant Shares are to be
issued in any name other than that of the registered holder of this Warrant,
such issuance shall be deemed a transfer and the provisions of Section 7 shall
be applicable. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant in compliance with this Section 2(a), a certificate or certificates for
the Warrant Shares so purchased, in such denominations as may be requested by
the holder hereof and registered in the name of, or as directed by, the holder,
shall be delivered at the Company's expense to, or as directed by, such holder
as soon as practicable, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days (as
defined in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the
Preferred Shares), after the Company's receipt of the Exercise Notice, the
Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking
with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).
Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in
clause (ii) (A) above or notification to the Company of a Cashless Exercise
referred to in clause (ii)(B) above, the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed
for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant
Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of
the date of delivery of this Warrant as required by clause (iii) above or the
certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. In the case of a dispute as to the
determination of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly issue to
the holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall
submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the holder via
facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the holder's subscription
notice. If the holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination
of the Warrant Exercise Price or arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares
within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic
calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall immediately
submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise
Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm or (ii) the disputed
arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to its independent, outside
accountant. The Company shall cause the investment banking firm or the
accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations
and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than forty-eight
(48) hours from the time it receives the disputed determinations or
calculations. Such investment banking firm's or accountant's determination or
calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest
error and the Company shall be liable for the costs and expenses related to such
determination or calculation.
<PAGE>
(b) Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired
or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as practicable
and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its
own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant
exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant
exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant
is exercised.
(c) No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock issued
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole
number.
(d) If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue
to the holder on a timely basis as described in this Section 2, a certificate
for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder is entitled upon
the holder's exercise of this Warrant or a new Warrant for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2(b)
hereof, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies under this Warrant
or the Securities Purchase Agreement or otherwise available to such holder,
including any indemnification under the Securities Purchase Agreement, pay as
additional damages in cash to such holder on each day the issuance of such
Common Stock certificate or new Warrant, as the case may be, is not timely
effected an amount equal to .25% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of
shares of Common Stock not issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which
the holder is entitled and/or, the number of shares represented by the portion
of this Warrant which is not being converted, as the case may be, and (B) the
average of the closing bid price of the Common Stock for the three consecutive
trading days immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company
could have issued such Common Stock or Warrant, as the case may be, to the
holder without violating this Section 2.
(e) The Company shall not affect any exercise of any Warrant and no
holder of any Warrant shall have the right to exercise any Warrant pursuant to
Section 2 to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise such Person
(together with such Person's affiliates) (A) would beneficially own in excess of
4.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such conversion and
(B) would have acquired, through exercise of any Warrant or otherwise (including
without limitation, conversion of any Preferred Shares issued pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement), in excess of 4.9% of the outstanding shares of
the Common Stock following such exercise during the 60-day period ending on and
including such exercise date. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number
of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Person and its affiliates or
acquired by a Person and its affiliates, as the case may be, shall include the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants with
respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall
exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i)
exercise of the remaining, nonexercisable Warrants beneficially owned by such
Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any Preferred Shares) subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such
Person and its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for
purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each
Exercise Notice shall constitute a representation by the holder submitting such
Exercise Notice that, after giving effect to such Exercise Notice, (A) the
holder will not beneficially own (as determined in accordance with this Section
2(e)) and (B) during the 60-day period ending on and including such exercise
date, the holder will not have acquired, through exercise of any Warrant or
otherwise, a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.9% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in the Company's most recent
Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, or more recent public press release
or other public notice by the Company setting forth the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding, but after giving effect to exercise of any Warrant by
such holder since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock was reported.
<PAGE>
Section 3. Covenants as to Common Stock. The Company hereby covenants and
agrees as follows:
(a) This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or
replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and validly
issued.
(b) All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect
to the issue thereof.
(c) During the period within which the rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved at least 200% of the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide
for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and the par
value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable
Warrant Exercise Price.
(d) The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant upon each national
securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of
Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon
exercise of this Warrant) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of
Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares of Common Stock from
time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall
so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as
the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital
stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long
as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities
exchange or automated quotation system.
(e) The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the
taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this
Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant
against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of
this Warrant will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
<PAGE>
(f) This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the
Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of
the Company's assets.
Section 4. Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be
payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant.
Section 5. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be
entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the
Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be
construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any
corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification
of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of
meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the
issuance to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he or she is
then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition,
nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities
on such holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or
otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this
Section 5, the Company will provide the holder of this Warrant with copies of
the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company
generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.
Section 6. Representations of Holder. The holder of this Warrant, by the
acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and Warrant
Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or
for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant
or Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the
Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein,
the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or Warrant Shares for any minimum
or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and
Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration
statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant
further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such holder is
an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
(an "Accredited Investor").
Section 7. Ownership and Transfer.
(a) The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or
such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the
holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record
the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued,
as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the
person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and
holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but
in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of
this Warrant.
(b) This Warrant and the rights granted to the holder hereof are
transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant, together with
a properly executed warrant power in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto;
provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 7(c) below.
<PAGE>
(c) The holder of this Warrant understands that this Warrant has not
been and is not expected to be, registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred
unless (a) subsequently registered thereunder, or (b) such holder shall have
delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in generally acceptable form, to
the effect that the securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold,
assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration;
provided that (i) any sale of such securities made in reliance on Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act may be made only in accordance with the
terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule is not applicable, any resale of
such securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through
whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is
defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption
under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission thereunder; and (ii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register the Warrants under the Securities Act
or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder.
(d) The Company is obligated to register the Warrant Shares for resale
under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated
April 7, 2000 by and between the Company and the Buyers listed on the signature
page thereto (the "Registration Rights Agreement") and the initial holder of
this Warrant (and certain assignees thereof) is entitled to the registration
rights in respect of the Warrant Shares as set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement.
Section 8. Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The
Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon
Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the date of issuance of
this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 8(b) is
deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the
issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account
of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
by the Company in connection with an Approved Stock Plan or upon exercise or
conversion of the Other Securities) for a consideration per share less than the
Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such time (the "Applicable
Price"), then immediately after such issue or sale the Warrant Exercise Price
then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of
the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issue or sale. Upon
each such adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price hereunder, the number of
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment.
<PAGE>
(b) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes
of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 8(a) above, the
following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any
Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange of
any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less
than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the
granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this
Section 8(b)(i), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock
is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any
one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise
of the Option and upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security
issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Warrant
Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of
such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any
manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange
thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall
be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at
the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price
per share. For the purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii), the "lowest price per
share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or
exchange" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if
any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common
Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion
or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Warrant
Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or
sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for
which adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price had been or are to be made
pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(b), no further adjustment of the
Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the
purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any Convertible
Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Warrant Exercise Price
in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Exercise
Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional
consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold and the number of shares of Common Stock
acquirable hereunder shall be correspondingly readjusted. For purposes of this
Section 8(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was
outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are changed in the manner
described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible
Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or
exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such
change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an
increase of the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect.
<PAGE>
(c) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes
of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Sections 8(a) and 8(b),
the following shall be applicable:
(i) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is
issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company,
together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options
will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $.01. If any Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have
been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed
to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other
than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the
fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of
securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
will be the market price of such securities for the twenty (20) consecutive
trading days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving
entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving
entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value
of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is
attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the
case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities
will be determined jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants
representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise
of the Warrants then outstanding. If such parties are unable to reach agreement
within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the
"Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined
within five Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation
Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and
the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock
obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding. The determination of
such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties and the fees and
expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(ii) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or
other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities
or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or
sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the
declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the
date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may
be.
(d) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Subdivision or
Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the date of
issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and
the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant
will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the date of
issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
<PAGE>
smaller number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares
of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately
decreased.
(e) Distribution of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make any
dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets)
to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including,
without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities,
property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate
rearrangement or other transaction) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the
issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:
(i) the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as
of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by
multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator
shall be the Closing bid price on the trading day immediately preceding such
record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by
the Company's Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and
(B) the denominator shall be the Closing bid price on the trading day
immediately preceding such record date; and
(ii) either (A) the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of
business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the
fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i), or (B) in the event
that the Distribution is of common stock of a company whose common stock is
traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation
system, then the holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional warrant to
purchase Common Stock, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this
Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the amount of the
assets that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to
the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such
record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by which the exercise
price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to
the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).
(f) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by
the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such
provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation
rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the
Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant
Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise
of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants;
provided that no such adjustment will increase the Warrant Exercise Price or
decrease the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise determined
pursuant to this Section 8.
<PAGE>
(g) Notices.
(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise
Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of this
Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of
such adjustment.
(ii) The Company will give written notice to the holder of this
Warrant at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the Company closes
its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution
upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to
holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to
any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or liquidation, provided that
such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction
with such notice being provided to such holder.
(iii) The Company will also give written notice to the holder of
this Warrant at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which any Organic
Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place, provided that such
information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with
such notice being provided to such holder.
(h) Holder's Right of Alternative Warrant Exercise Price Following
Issuance of Convertible Securities or Options. If after the Closing Date the
Company in any manner issues or sells Convertible Securities or Options that are
convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable into Common Stock at a price
which varies with the market price of the Common Stock (the formulation for such
variable price being herein referred to as, the "Variable Price"), the Company
shall provide written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to each
Holder of the Preferred Shares ("Variable Notice") on the date of issuance of
such Convertible Securities or Options. From and after the date the Company
issues any such Convertible Securities or Options with a Variable Price, the
holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to
substitute the New Variable Formula (defined below) for the Warrant Exercise
Price upon exercise of the Warrant by designating in the Exercise Notice
delivered upon exercise of the Warrant that solely for purposes of such
conversion the holder is relying on the New Variable Formula rather than the
Warrant Exercise Price then in effect. The New Variable Formula shall be equal
to ninety percent (90%) of the Variable Price. A holder's election to rely on a
New Variable Formula for a particular conversion of the Warrant shall not
obligate such holder to rely on a New Variable Formula for any future exercise
of Warrants.
Section 9. Purchase Rights; Reorganization, Reclassification,
Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(a) In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 above, if at
any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to
the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then
the holder of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms
applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such
holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately
before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale
of such Purchase Rights.
<PAGE>
(b) Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
to another Person or other transaction which is effected in such a way that
holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon
subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as "Organic Change." Prior to
the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other Organic Change following which the
Company is not a surviving entity, the Company will secure from the Person
purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in
each case, the "Acquiring Entity") written agreement (in form and substance
satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the shares of
Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to
deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants, a security of
the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in
form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the holders of the
Warrants (including, an adjusted warrant exercise price equal to the value for
the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale,
and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
and receivable upon exercise of the Warrants, if the value so reflected is less
than the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger or sale). Prior to the consummation of any other Organic
Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance
satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the shares of
Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to
insure that each of the holders of the Warrants will thereafter have the right
to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the
shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon
the exercise of such holder's Warrants, such shares of stock, securities or
assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with
respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock which would
have been acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder's Warrant
as of the date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any
limitations or restrictions on the exerciseability of this Warrant).
Section 10. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant
is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on receipt of an
indemnification undertaking, issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor
as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant must be in

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including without
limitation, Section 2(e) below), this Warrant may be exercised by the holder
hereof then registered on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, at any
time on any Business Day on or after the opening of business on the date hereof
and prior to 11:59 P.M. Central Time on the Expiration Date by (i) delivery of a
written notice, in the form of the subscription notice attached as Exhibit A
hereto (the "Exercise Notice"), of such holder's election to exercise this
Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be
purchased, (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant
Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this
Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) (the
"Aggregate Exercise Price") in cash or by check or wire transfer or (B) by
notifying the Company that it should subtract from the number of Warrant Shares
issuable to the holder upon such exercise an amount of Warrant Shares having a
last reported closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg) on the date
immediately preceding the date of the subscription notice equal to the Aggregate
Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised
(a "Cashless Exercise"), and (iii) the surrender to a common carrier for
delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date, this Warrant
(or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of
its loss, theft or destruction); provided, that if such Warrant Shares are to be
issued in any name other than that of the registered holder of this Warrant,
such issuance shall be deemed a transfer and the provisions of Section 7 shall
be applicable. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant in compliance with this Section 2(a), a certificate or certificates for
the Warrant Shares so purchased, in such denominations as may be requested by
the holder hereof and registered in the name of, or as directed by, the holder,
shall be delivered at the Company's expense to, or as directed by, such holder
as soon as practicable, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days (as
defined in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the
Preferred Shares), after the Company's receipt of the Exercise Notice, the
Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking
with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).
Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in
clause (ii) (A) above or notification to the Company of a Cashless Exercise
referred to in clause (ii)(B) above, the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed
for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant
Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of
the date of delivery of this Warrant as required by clause (iii) above or the
certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. In the case of a dispute as to the
determination of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly issue to
the holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall
submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the holder via
facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the holder's subscription
notice. If the holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination
of the Warrant Exercise Price or arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares
within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic
calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall immediately
submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise
Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm or (ii) the disputed
arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to its independent, outside
accountant. The Company shall cause the investment banking firm or the
accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations
and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than forty-eight
(48) hours from the time it receives the disputed determinations or
calculations. Such investment banking firm's or accountant's determination or
calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest
error and the Company shall be liable for the costs and expenses related to such
determination or calculation.
<PAGE>
(b) Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired
or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as practicable
and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its
own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant
exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant
exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant
is exercised.
(c) No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock issued
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole
number.
(d) If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue
to the holder on a timely basis as described in this Section 2, a certificate
for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder is entitled upon
the holder's exercise of this Warrant or a new Warrant for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2(b)
hereof, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies under this Warrant
or the Securities Purchase Agreement or otherwise available to such holder,
including any indemnification under the Securities Purchase Agreement, pay as
additional damages in cash to such holder on each day the issuance of such
Common Stock certificate or new Warrant, as the case may be, is not timely
effected an amount equal to .25% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of
shares of Common Stock not issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which
the holder is entitled and/or, the number of shares represented by the portion
of this Warrant which is not being converted, as the case may be, and (B) the
average of the closing bid price of the Common Stock for the three consecutive
trading days immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company
could have issued such Common Stock or Warrant, as the case may be, to the
holder without violating this Section 2.
<PAGE>
(e) The Company shall not affect any exercise of any Warrant and no
holder of any Warrant shall have the right to exercise any Warrant pursuant to
Section 2 to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise such Person
(together with such Person's affiliates) (A) would beneficially own in excess of
4.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such conversion and
(B) would have acquired, through exercise of any Warrant or otherwise (including
without limitation, conversion of any Preferred Shares issued pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement), in excess of 4.9% of the outstanding shares of
the Common Stock following such exercise during the 60-day period ending on and
including such exercise date. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number
of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Person and its affiliates or
acquired by a Person and its affiliates, as the case may be, shall include the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants with
respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall
exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i)
exercise of the remaining, nonexercisable Warrants beneficially owned by such
Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any Preferred Shares) subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such
Person and its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for
purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each
Exercise Notice shall constitute a representation by the holder submitting such
Exercise Notice that, after giving effect to such Exercise Notice, (A) the
holder will not beneficially own (as determined in accordance with this Section
2(e)) and (B) during the 60-day period ending on and including such exercise
date, the holder will not have acquired, through exercise of any Warrant or
otherwise, a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.9% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in the Company's most recent
Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, or more recent public press release
or other public notice by the Company setting forth the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding, but after giving effect to exercise of any Warrant by
such holder since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock was reported.
<PAGE>
Section 3. Covenants as to Common Stock. The Company hereby covenants and
agrees as follows:
(a) This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or
replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and validly
issued.
(b) All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect
to the issue thereof.
(c) During the period within which the rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved at least 200% of the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide
for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and the par
value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable
Warrant Exercise Price.
(d) The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant upon each national
securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of
Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon
exercise of this Warrant) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of
Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares of Common Stock from
time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall
so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as
the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital
stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long
as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities
exchange or automated quotation system.
(e) The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the
taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this
Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant
against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of
this Warrant will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
<PAGE>
(f) This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the
Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of
the Company's assets.
Section 4. Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be
payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant.
Section 5. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be
entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the
Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be
construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any
corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification
of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of
meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the
issuance to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he or she is
then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition,
nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities
on such holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or
otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this
Section 5, the Company will provide the holder of this Warrant with copies of
the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company
generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.
Section 6. Representations of Holder. The holder of this Warrant, by the
acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and Warrant
Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or
for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant
or Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the
Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein,
the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or Warrant Shares for any minimum
or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and
Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration
statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant
further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such holder is
an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
(an "Accredited Investor").
Section 7. Ownership and Transfer.
(a) The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or
such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the
holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record
the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued,
as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the
person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and
holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but
in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of
this Warrant.
(b) This Warrant and the rights granted to the holder hereof are
transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant, together with
a properly executed warrant power in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto;
provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 7(c) below.
<PAGE>
(c) The holder of this Warrant understands that this Warrant has not
been and is not expected to be, registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred
unless (a) subsequently registered thereunder, or (b) such holder shall have
delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in generally acceptable form, to
the effect that the securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold,
assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration;
provided that (i) any sale of such securities made in reliance on Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act may be made only in accordance with the
terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule is not applicable, any resale of
such securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through
whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is
defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption
under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission thereunder; and (ii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register the Warrants under the Securities Act
or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder.
(d) The Company is obligated to register the Warrant Shares for resale
under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated
April 7, 2000 by and between the Company and the Buyers listed on the signature
page thereto (the "Registration Rights Agreement") and the initial holder of
this Warrant (and certain assignees thereof) is entitled to the registration
rights in respect of the Warrant Shares as set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement.
Section 8. Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The
Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon
Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the date of issuance of
this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 8(b) is
deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the
issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account
of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
by the Company in connection with an Approved Stock Plan or upon exercise or
conversion of the Other Securities) for a consideration per share less than the
Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such time (the "Applicable
Price"), then immediately after such issue or sale the Warrant Exercise Price
then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of
the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issue or sale. Upon
each such adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price hereunder, the number of
shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment.
<PAGE>
(b) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes
of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 8(a) above, the
following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any
Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange of
any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less
than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the
granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this
Section 8(b)(i), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock
is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any
one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise
of the Option and upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security
issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Warrant
Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of
such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any
manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange
thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall
be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at
the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price
per share. For the purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii), the "lowest price per
share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or
exchange" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if
any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common
Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion
or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Warrant
Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or
sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for
which adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price had been or are to be made
pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(b), no further adjustment of the
Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the
purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any Convertible
Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Warrant Exercise Price
in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Exercise
Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional
consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold and the number of shares of Common Stock
acquirable hereunder shall be correspondingly readjusted. For purposes of this
Section 8(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was
outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are changed in the manner
described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible
Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or
exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such
change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an
increase of the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect.
<PAGE>
(c) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes
of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Sections 8(a) and 8(b),
the following shall be applicable:
(i) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is
issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company,
together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options
will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $.01. If any Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have
been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed
to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other
than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the
fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of
securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
will be the market price of such securities for the twenty (20) consecutive
trading days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving
entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving
entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value
of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is
attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the
case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities
will be determined jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants
representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise
of the Warrants then outstanding. If such parties are unable to reach agreement
within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the
"Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined
within five Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation
Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and
the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock
obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding. The determination of
such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties and the fees and
expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(ii) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or
other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities
or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or
sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the
declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the
date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may
be.
(d) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Subdivision or
Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the date of
issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and
the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant
will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the date of
issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares
of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately
decreased.
<PAGE>
(e) Distribution of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make any
dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets)
to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including,
without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities,
property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate
rearrangement or other transaction) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the
issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:
(i) the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as
of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by
multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator
shall be the Closing bid price on the trading day immediately preceding such
record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by
the Company's Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and
(B) the denominator shall be the Closing bid price on the trading day
immediately preceding such record date; and
(ii) either (A) the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of
business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the
fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i), or (B) in the event
that the Distribution is of common stock of a company whose common stock is
traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation
system, then the holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional warrant to
purchase Common Stock, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this
Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the amount of the
assets that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to
the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such
record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by which the exercise
price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to
the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).
(f) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by
the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such
provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation
rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the
Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant
Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise
of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants;
provided that no such adjustment will increase the Warrant Exercise Price or
decrease the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise determined
pursuant to this Section 8.
<PAGE>
(g) Notices.
(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise
Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of this
Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of
such adjustment.
(ii) The Company will give written notice to the holder of this
Warrant at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the Company closes
its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution
upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to
holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to
any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or liquidation, provided that
such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction
with such notice being provided to such holder.
(iii) The Company will also give written notice to the holder of
this Warrant at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which any Organic
Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place, provided that such
information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with
such notice being provided to such holder.
(h) Holder's Right of Alternative Warrant Exercise Price Following
Issuance of Convertible Securities or Options. If after the Closing Date the
Company in any manner issues or sells Convertible Securities or Options that are
convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable into Common Stock at a price
which varies with the market price of the Common Stock (the formulation for such
variable price being herein referred to as, the "Variable Price"), the Company
shall provide written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to each
Holder of the Preferred Shares ("Variable Notice") on the date of issuance of
such Convertible Securities or Options. From and after the date the Company
issues any such Convertible Securities or Options with a Variable Price, the
holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to
substitute the New Variable Formula (defined below) for the Warrant Exercise
Price upon exercise of the Warrant by designating in the Exercise Notice
delivered upon exercise of the Warrant that solely for purposes of such
conversion the holder is relying on the New Variable Formula rather than the
Warrant Exercise Price then in effect. The New Variable Formula shall be equal
to ninety percent (90%) of the Variable Price. A holder's election to rely on a
New Variable Formula for a particular conversion of the Warrant shall not
obligate such holder to rely on a New Variable Formula for any future exercise
of Warrants.
Section 9. Purchase Rights; Reorganization, Reclassification,
Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(a) In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 above, if at
any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to
the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then
the holder of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms
applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such
holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately
before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale
of such Purchase Rights.
<PAGE>
(b) Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
to another Person or other transaction which is effected in such a way that
holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon
subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as "Organic Change." Prior to
the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other Organic Change following which the
Company is not a surviving entity, the Company will secure from the Person
purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in
each case, the "Acquiring Entity") written agreement (in form and substance
satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the shares of
Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to
deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants, a security of
the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in
form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the holders of the
Warrants (including, an adjusted warrant exercise price equal to the value for
the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale,
and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
and receivable upon exercise of the Warrants, if the value so reflected is less
than the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger or sale). Prior to the consummation of any other Organic
Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance
satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the shares of
Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to
insure that each of the holders of the Warrants will thereafter have the right
to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the
shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon
the exercise of such holder's Warrants, such shares of stock, securities or
assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with
respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock which would
have been acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder's Warrant
as of the date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any
limitations or restrictions on the exerciseability of this Warrant).
Section 10. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant
is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on receipt of an
indemnification undertaking, issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor
as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
Section 11. Notice. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications
required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant must be in
writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when
delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided
confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and

Exhibit 10.6 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of April 7,
2000, is entered into by and among e-Net Financial.com Corporation, a Nevada
corporation, with headquarters located at 3200 Bristol Street, Suite 700, Costa
Mesa, CA 92626 (the "Company"), and the undersigned buyers (each, a "Buyer" and
collectively, the "Buyers").
WHEREAS:
A. In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the
parties dated as of April 7, 2000 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), the
Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) to issue and sell to the Buyers 20,000 shares
of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares"), which will
be convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $ 0.001 per
share (the "Common Stock") (as converted, the "Conversion Shares") in accordance
with the terms of the Company's Certificate of Designations, Preferences and
Rights of the Series C Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designations") and
(ii) to issue Warrants (the "Warrants") which will be exercisable to purchase
Company Common Stock (the "Warrant Shares"); and
B. To induce the Buyers to execute and deliver the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the "1933 Act"), and
applicable state securities laws.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Buyers hereby
agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS.
As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:
a. "Investor" means a Buyer, any transferee or assignee thereof to
whom a Buyer assigns its rights under this Agreement and who agrees to become
bound by the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10 and any
transferee or assignee thereof to whom a transferee or assignee assigns its
rights under this Agreement and who agrees to become bound by the provisions of
this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.
b. "Person" means a corporation, a limited liability company, an
association, a partnership, an organization, a business, an individual, a
governmental or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency.
<PAGE>
c. "Register," "registered," and "registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing one or more Registration
Statements (as defined below) in compliance with the 1933 Act and pursuant to
Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or any successor rule providing for offering
securities on a continuous basis ("Rule 415"), and the declaration or ordering
of effectiveness of such Registration Statement(s) by the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
d. "Registrable Securities" means the Conversion Shares issued or
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and the Warrant Shares issued
or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and any shares of capital stock issued
or issuable with respect to the Conversion Shares, Preferred Shares, Warrants or
Warrant Shares as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
exchange, anti-dilution rights, liquidated damages payment or similar event or
otherwise, without regard to any limitation on the conversion of the Preferred
Shares or exercise of the Warrants.
e. "Registration Statement" means a registration statement of the
Company filed under the 1933 Act and pursuant to Rule 415.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
2. REGISTRATION.
a. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days
after the date hereof, file with the SEC a Registration Statement or
Registration Statements (as is necessary) on Form SB-2 (or if such form is
unavailable, such other form as is available for registration) covering the
resale of all of the Registrable Securities. The initial Registration Statement
prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of
shares of Company Common Stock equal to the product of (x) two (2) and (y) the
number of Registrable Securities as of the date immediately preceding the date
the Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 3(b). The Company shall use its best efforts
to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than two hundred ten (210) calendar days
after the date hereof.
b. Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time prior to the expiration of
the Registration Period (as defined in Section 3(a)) the Company proposes to
file with the SEC a Registration Statement relating to an offering for its own
account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its securities
(other than on Form S-8 (or their equivalents at such time) relating to equity
securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit
plans or on Form S-4 (or their equivalents at such time) relating to equity
securities issuable in connection with a business combination) the Company shall
promptly send to each Investor written notice of the Company's intention to file
a Registration Statement and of such Investor's rights under this Section 2(b)
and, if within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice, such Investor
shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration
Statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities such Investor requests
to be registered, subject to the priorities set forth in Section 2(b) below. No
right to registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2(b) shall be
construed to limit any registration required under Section 2(a). The obligations
of the Company under this Section 2(b) may be waived by the Buyers. If an
offering in connection with which an Investor is entitled to registration under
this Section 2(b) is an underwritten offering, then each Investor whose
<PAGE>
Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement shall, unless
otherwise agreed by the Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in
an underwritten offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject
to the provisions of this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other
shares of Company common stock included in such underwritten offering. If a
registration pursuant to this Section 2(b) is to be an underwritten public
offering and the managing underwriter(s) advise the Company in writing, that in
their reasonable good faith opinion, marketing or other factors dictate that a
limitation on the number of shares of Company common stock which may be included
in the Registration Statement is necessary to facilitate and not adversely
affect the proposed offering, then the Company shall include in such
registration: (1) first, all securities the Company proposes to sell for its own
account, (2) second, up to the full number of securities proposed to be
registered for the account of the holders of securities entitled to inclusion of
their securities in the Registration Statement by reason of demand registration
rights, and (3) third, the securities requested to be registered by the
Investors and other holders of securities entitled to participate in the
registration, as of the date hereof, drawn from them pro rata based on the
number each has requested to be included in such registration.
c. Allocation of Registrable Securities. The initial number of
Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and each increase
in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro
rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held, or
which could be held, by each Investor at the time the Registration Statement
covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase thereof is
declared effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise
transfers any of such Person's Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be
allocated a pro rata portion of the then remaining number of Registrable
Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor. Any
shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain
allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities shall be
allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of
Registrable Securities then held by such Investors.
d. Legal Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Buyers shall have
the right to select one legal counsel to review and oversee any offering
pursuant to this Section 2 ("Legal Counsel"). The Company shall reasonably
cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company's obligations under this
Agreement.
e. [Reserved.]
f. Rule 416. The Company and the Investors each acknowledge that each
Registration Statement prepared in accordance hereunder shall include an
indeterminate number of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 416 under the
1933 Act so as to cover any and all Registrable Securities which may become
issuable (i) to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or
similar transactions and (ii) if permitted by law, by reason of the
anti-dilution provisions contained in the Certificate of Designations and the
Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof (collectively, the "Rule 416
Securities"). In this regard, the Company agrees to use all reasonable efforts
to ensure that the maximum number of Registrable Securities which may be
registered pursuant to Rule 416 under the 1933 Act are covered by each
Registration Statement and, absent guidance from the SEC or other definitive
<PAGE>
authority to the contrary, the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to
affirmatively support and to not take any position adverse to the position that
each Registration Statement filed hereunder covers all of the Rule 416
Securities. If the Company determines that the Registration Statement filed
hereunder does not cover all of the Rule 416 Securities, the Company shall
immediately (i) provide to each Investor written evidence setting forth the
basis for the Company's position and the authority therefor and (ii) prepare and
file an amendment to such Registration Statement or a new Registration Statement
in accordance with Section 2(g).
g. Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of
shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a)
is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities or an Investor's
allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(c) (a
"Deficit Failure"), the Company shall amend the Registration Statement, or file
a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if
applicable), or both, so as to cover at least two hundred percent (200%) of such
Registrable Securities in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event
not later than fifteen (15) days after the necessity thereof arises. The Company
shall use it best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration
Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing
thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available
under a Registration Statement shall be deemed "insufficient to cover all of the
Registrable Securities" if at any time the number of Registrable Securities
issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and upon exercise of
the Warrants is greater than the quotient determined by dividing (i) the number
of shares of Common Stock available for resale under such Registration Statement
by (ii) 2. For purposes of the calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence,
any restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares shall be
disregarded and such calculation shall assume that the Preferred Shares are then
convertible into shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing Conversion Rate
(as defined in the Company's Certificate of Designations).
3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.
Whenever an Investor has requested that any Registrable Securities be
registered pursuant to Section 2(b) or at such time as the Company is obligated
to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(g),
the Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration of the
Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition
thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:
a. The Company shall promptly prepare and file (but in no event later
than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the date hereof) with the SEC
a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities for the
registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(a) and use its best
efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable
Securities to become effective as soon as possible after such filing (but in no
event later than two hundred ten (210) calendar days after the date hereof for
the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(a)), and keep
such Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until
the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investors may sell all of the
<PAGE>
Registrable Securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated
under the 1933 Act (or successor thereto) or (ii) the date on which (A) the
Investors shall have sold all the Registrable Securities and (B) none of the
Preferred Shares and Warrants is outstanding (the "Registration Period"), which
Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and
prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading.
b. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments
(including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration
Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated
under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement
effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period,
comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of
all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement
until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed
of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or
sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement.
c. The Company shall permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon a
Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least seven
(7) days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form
to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects. The Company shall not submit a
request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any
amendment or supplement thereto without the prior approval of Legal Counsel,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall furnish to
Legal Counsel, without charge, (i) any correspondence from the SEC or the staff
of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration
Statement, (ii) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one
copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including
financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by
reference and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration
Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement
and all amendments and supplements thereto.
d. The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable
Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i)
promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of
such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial
statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and
all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, ten
(10) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all
amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such
Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including
copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably
request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
<PAGE>
e. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to (i) register and
qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under
such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United
States as Legal Counsel or any Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and
file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective
amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be
necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period,
(iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations
and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and
(iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the
Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself
to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to
service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify
Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt
by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale
under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in the United States
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose.
f. In the event Investors who hold a majority of the Registrable
Securities being offered in the offering select underwriters for the offering,
the Company shall enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting
agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, customary
indemnification and contribution obligations, with the underwriters of such
offering.
g. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the
Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing of the happening
of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such
Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver
ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel and each
Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel or such Investor may
reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel and
each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such
effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel and each Investor by facsimile
on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any
request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or
related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable
determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would
be appropriate.
<PAGE>
h. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of
any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement,
or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for
sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to
obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible
moment and to notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable
Securities being sold (and, in the event of an underwritten offering, the
managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding
for such purpose.
i. At the request of any Investor, the Company shall furnish to such
Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and
thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request
(i) if required by an underwriter, a letter, dated such date, from the Company's
independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily
given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an
underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, and (ii) an
opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes
of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily
given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters and the
Investors.
j. The Company shall make available for inspection by (i) any
Investor, (ii) Legal Counsel, (iii) any underwriter participating in any
disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement, (iv) one firm of accountants
or other agents retained by the Investors, and (v) one firm of attorneys
retained by such underwriters (collectively, the "Inspectors") all pertinent
financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of
the Company (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably deemed
necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company's officers, directors and
employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request;
provided, however, that each Inspector shall hold in strict confidence and shall
not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or use of any Record or other
information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and
of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure
of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in
any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the
release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena
or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the
information in such Records has been made generally available to the public
other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement of which
the Inspector has knowledge. Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning
that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body
of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the
Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action
to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records
deemed confidential.
k. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of
information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure
of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities
laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of
such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final,
non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the
public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other
agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of
such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or
governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt
written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor's
expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain
a protective order for, such information.
<PAGE>
l. The Company shall use its best efforts either to (i) cause all the
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each
securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by
the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable
Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure
designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement on the Nasdaq National Market System or, if, despite the
Company's best efforts to satisfy the preceding clause (i) or (ii), the Company
is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clause (i) or (ii), to secure the
inclusion for quotation on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market for such Registrable
Securities and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for
at least two market makers to register with the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") as such with respect to such Registrable
Securities. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with
satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(l).
m. [Reserved.]
n. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar of all
such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such
Registration Statement.
o. If requested by the managing underwriters or an Investor, the
Company shall (i) immediately incorporate in a prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriters and the
Investors agree should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution
of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with
respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold to such underwriters,
the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriters and any other terms
of the underwritten (or best efforts underwritten) offering of the Registrable
Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the
matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement
if requested by a shareholder or any underwriter of such Registrable Securities.
p. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable
Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be
necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
q. [Reserved.]
<PAGE>
r. The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration
hereunder and the Company shall use its best efforts to file with the SEC in a
timely manner all reports and documents required of the Company under the 1933
Act and the 1934 Act (as defined in Section 6(a)).
s. Within two (2) business days after the Registration Statement which
includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company
shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the
transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors
whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement)
confirmation that the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the
SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
t. [Reserved.]
u. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to
expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investors of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement.
v. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Registration Statement shall register only the Registrable
Securities.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS.
a. At least seven (7) days prior to the first anticipated filing date
of the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing
of the information the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor
elects to have any of such Investor's Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of
the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect
to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall
furnish to the Company such information regarding itself and the Registrable
Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration
of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection
with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.
b. Each Investor by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable
Securities agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the
Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration
Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of
such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable
Securities from such Registration Statement.
c. In the event any Investor elects to participate in an underwritten
public offering pursuant to Section 2, each such Investor agrees to enter into
and perform such Investor's obligations under an underwriting agreement, in
usual and customary form, including, without limitation, customary
indemnification and contribution obligations, with the managing underwriter of
such offering and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to
expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities.
<PAGE>
5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.
All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and
commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all
registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and disbursements of
Legal Counsel, shall be paid by the Company.
6. INDEMNIFICATION.
In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration
Statement under this Agreement:
a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and
hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor who holds such
Registrable Securities, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents,
representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within
the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "1934 Act"), and any underwriter (as defined in the 1933 Act) for the
Investors, and the directors and officers of, and each Person, if any, who
controls, any such underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934
Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys' fees,
amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively,
"Indemnified Damages") incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any
action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the
foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other
regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or
not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto ("Claims"), to which any
of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings,
whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in
a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any
filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the
securities or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable
Securities are offered ("Blue Sky Filing"), or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used
prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the
final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission
to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were
made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of
the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any
state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer
or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or
(iv) any material violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing
clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, "Violations"). The Company shall
reimburse the Investors and each such underwriter or controlling person,
promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal
fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this
Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising
out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person
or underwriter for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with
the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company
pursuant to Section 3(d); (ii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, shall
<PAGE>
not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any
such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or
to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or
omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected
in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such prospectus was
timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d), and the
Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect
prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified
Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to
the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to
cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such
prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d);
and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such
settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities
by the Investors pursuant to Section 10.
b. In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor
is participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly
indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner
as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who signs the Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (collectively and
together with an Indemnified Person, an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim
or Indemnified Damages to which any Indemnified Party may become subject, under
the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified
Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the
extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor
expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject
to Section 6(d), such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section
7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement
is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the
Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim
or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a
result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration
Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of
any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall
survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to
Section 10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any
preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party
if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the
preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as
then amended or supplemented.
<PAGE>
c. The Company shall be entitled to receive indemnities from
underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry
professionals participating in any distribution, to the same extent as provided
above, with respect to information such persons so furnished in writing
expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement.
d. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or
proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim,
such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6,
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof,
and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the
extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or
the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in
the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the
representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any
other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Company shall
pay reasonable fees for only one separate legal counsel for the Investors, and
such legal counsel shall be selected by the Investors holding a majority in
interest of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to
which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall
cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation
or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall
furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim.
The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person
fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement
negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any
settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written
consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably
withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without
the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of
any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability
in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided
for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms
or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.
The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is
prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
<PAGE>
e. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by
periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
f. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to
(i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the
indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
7. CONTRIBUTION.
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is
prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable
under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that:
(i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable
Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by
such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
8. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.
With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule
144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of
the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the
Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to:
a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144;
b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as
the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that
nothing herein shall limit the Company's obligations under Section 4(c) of the
Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other
documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
c. furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable
Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that
it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and
the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii)
such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the investors to
sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
<PAGE>
9. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
The Company agrees that the Investors will suffer damages if the
Company violates any provision of or fails to fulfill its obligations pursuant
to this Agreement or the Investors are unable to sell any Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement (a "Registration Default") and that it
would not be possible to ascertain the extent of such damages. Accordingly, in
the event of any Registration Default, the Company hereby agrees to pay
liquidated damages ("Liquidated Damages") to each Investor following the
occurrence of such Registration Default in an amount determined by multiplying
(i) $2.00 per Preferred Share initially purchased by such Investor, by (ii) the
percentage derived by dividing (A) the actual number of days elapsed from the
last day of the prior 30-day period or the date of the Registration Default, as
applicable, to the day such Registration Default has been completely cured by
(B) 30, in cash. The Liquidated Damages payable pursuant hereto shall be payable
within five (5) business days from the end of the calendar month commencing on
the first calendar month in which a Registration Default occurs. Notwithstanding
anything that may be construed to the contrary, the Company shall be obligated
to pay separate Liquidated Damages for each Registration Default until each such
Registration Default has been completely cured.
10. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by
the Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of Registrable Securities
if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign
such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a
reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable
time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the
name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned;
(iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition
of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933
Act and applicable state securities laws; provided, however, that the transferee
or assignee may subsequently transfer or assign all or any portion of the
Registrable Securities if an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act is
applicable to such transfer or assignment; (iv) at or before the time the
Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence
the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all
of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have been made
in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase
Agreement.
<PAGE>
11. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof
may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company
and Investors who then hold two-thirds (2/3) of the Registrable Securities. Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 11 shall be binding
upon each Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the
extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable
Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or
consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of this Agreement
unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this
Agreement.
12. MISCELLANEOUS.
a. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities
whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or
elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable
Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or
election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.
b. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or
permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and
will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered
personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of

EXHIBIT A
FORM OF NOTICE OF EFFECTIVENESS
OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT
[TRANSFER AGENT]
Attn:
Re: E-NET FINANCIAL.COM CORPORATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are counsel to e-Net Financial.com Corporation, a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), and have represented the Company in connection with
that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") entered
into by and among the Company and the buyers named therein (collectively, the
"Holders") pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders shares of its
Series C Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the "Preferred Shares")
convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $ 0.001 per
share (the "Conversion Shares") and Warrants exercisable into its Common Stock
(the "Warrant Shares"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has
entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the "Registration
Rights Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to
register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement), including the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). In connection with the
Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on _________,
2000, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No.
_____________) (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") relating to the Registrable Securities which names each
of the Holders as a selling stockholder thereunder.
In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the
SEC's staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order
declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME
OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge,
after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff, that any stop order
suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that
purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable
Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
[ISSUER'S COUNSEL]
