Subject to the terms and conditions -------------------------------- hereinafter set forth, the registered holder of this Warrant (the "Holder"), commencing on the date hereof, is entitled upon surrender of this Warrant with the subscription form annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the Company or such other office as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing, to purchase from the Company 150,000 shares of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the "Common Stock") for $0.01 per share (the "Exercise Price"). This Warrant is fully exercisable. 3. Payment of Exercise Price; Cashless Exercise. -------------------------------------------- (a) The Exercise Price may be paid in cash, by check or wire transfer in immediately available funds, or as provided in 3(b) below. (b) At any time during the term of this Warrant, the Holder may also elect to exercise this Warrant (the "Conversion Right") with respect to a particular number of Warrant Shares (the "Converted Warrant Shares"), and the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of the Exercise Price in cash or any other consideration (other than the surrender of rights to receive Warrant Shares hereunder)) that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (x) the difference between (i) the product of (A) the Current Market Price of a share of Common Stock multiplied by (B) the number of Converted Warrant Shares and (ii) the product of (A) the Exercise Price multiplied by (B) the number of the Converted Warrant Shares, in each case as of the Conversion Date (as defined in Section 3(c) below)), by (y) the Current Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the Conversion Date. No fractional Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Right, and if the number of Warrant Shares to be issued determined in accordance with the following formula is other than a whole number, the Company shall pay to the holder of this Warrant an amount in <PAGE> cash equal to the Current Market Price of the resulting fractional Warrant Share on the Conversion Date. (c) The Conversion Right may be exercised by the Holder by the surrender of this Warrant as provided in Section 3(b), together with a written statement specifying that the Holder thereby intends to exercise the Conversion Right and indicating the number of Converted Warrant Shares which are covered by the exercise of the Warrant. Such conversion shall be effective upon receipt by the Corporation of this Warrant, together with the aforesaid written statement, or on such later date as is specified therein (the "Conversion Date"). The Corporation shall issue to the Holder as of the Conversion Date a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Right and, if applicable, a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the balance of the Warrant Shares remaining subject to this Warrant. (d) The term "Current Market Price" for the Common Stock as of a specified date shall mean: (i) if the Common Stock is publicly traded on such date, the average closing price per share over the preceding 10 trading days as reported on the principal stock exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted; or (ii) if the Common Stock is not publicly traded on such date, the Board of directors of the Company shall determine Current Market Price in its reasonable good faith judgment. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder disagrees with such determination, then the Company and Holder shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking firm to undertake such valuation. If the valuation of such investment banking firm is greater than that determined by the Board of Directors, then all fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by the Company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Holder. 4. Partial Exercise.
