ARTICLE 2. EXERCISE AND AGREEMENTS.

the Exercise Price, three hundred fifty thousand (350,000) shares of Common
Stock. This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time
from the Closing Date to the Expiration Date (the "Exercise Period"). This
Warrant and the right to purchase Warrant Shares hereunder shall expire and
become void on the Expiration Date.
2.2 Manner of Exercise. The Holder may exercise this Warrant at any time and
from time to time during the Exercise Period, in whole or in part (but not
in denominations of fewer than 10,000 Warrant Shares, except upon an
exercise of this Warrant with respect to the remaining balance of Warrant
Shares purchasable hereunder at the time of exercise), by delivering to the
Company (i) a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form
attached as Appendix I hereto, (ii) the certificate representing the
Warrants, (iii) a bank cashier's or certified check for the aggregate
Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares being purchased, and (iv) a bank
cashier's or certified check or wire transfer of $350 to the Company's
attorneys in payment of expenses incurred in connection with the exercise
of this Warrant (the "Expense Payment").
2.3 Termination. All rights of the Holder in this Warrant, to the extent they
have not been exercised, shall terminate on the Expiration Date.
2.4 No Rights Prior to Exercise. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to
any voting or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
2.5 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant, and the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be
54
<PAGE>
rounded up to the nearest whole number. If, upon exercise of this Warrant,
the Holder hereof would be entitled to receive any fractional share, the
Company shall issue to the Holder one additional share of Common Stock in
lieu of such fractional share.
2.6 Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities.
(a) Subdivision and Combination. In case the Company shall at any time
subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the
case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination.
(b) Adjustment in Number of Securities. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.6, the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant
shall be adjusted to the nearest whole number by multiplying a number
equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
(c) Merger or Consolidation. In case of any consolidation of the Company
with, or merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger which does
not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common
Stock), the corporation formed by such consolidation or merger shall
execute and deliver to the Holder a supplemental warrant agreement
providing that the Holder of each Warrant then outstanding or to be
outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of
such Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of such Warrant, the kind and
amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (except in
the event the property is cash, then the Holder shall have the right
to exercise the Warrant and receive cash in the same manner as other
stockholders) receivable upon such consolidation or merger, by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company for
which such warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such supplemental warrant
agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to
the adjustments provided in Section 2.6. The foregoing provisions of
this paragraph (e) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations
or mergers.
(d) No Adjustment of Exercise Price in Certain Cases. No adjustment of the
Exercise Price shall be made upon the exercise of any convertible
securities, options, rights, or warrants outstanding as of the date of
this Agreement.
(e) Dividends and Other Distributions. In the event that the Company shall
at any time prior to the exercise of all Warrants declare a dividend
(other than a dividend consisting solely of shares of Common Stock) or
otherwise distribute to its stockholders any assets, property, rights,
evidences of indebtedness, securities (other than shares of Common
Stock), whether issued by the Company or by another, or any other
thing of value, the Holders of the unexercised Warrants shall
thereafter be entitled, in addition to the shares of Common Stock or
other securities and property receivable upon the exercise thereof, to
55
<PAGE>
receive, upon the exercise of such Warrants, the same property,
assets, rights, evidences of indebtedness, securities or any other
thing of value that they would have been entitled to receive at the
time of such dividend or distribution as if the Warrants had been
exercised immediately prior to such dividend or distribution. At the
time of any such dividend or distribution, the Company shall make
appropriate reserves to ensure the timely performance of the
provisions of this subsection 2.6 (g). Nothing contained herein shall
provide for the receipt or accrual by a Holder of cash dividends prior
to the exercise by such Holder of the Warrants.
