Notice of prepayment having been so given, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so specified in such notice, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become due and payable on the specified prepayment date, but the right to apply any or all of the Notes as payment to exercise any Warrant or Warrants shall continue to, but not including, the date of such prepayment. 6.3. Obligations Unconditional. The Company hereby agrees and confirms that its obligations under the Notes shall be deemed to constitute for all Purposes obligations for the payment of indebtedness for borrowed money and shall accordingly be absolute and unconditional in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Agreement and shall not be affected by (and the Company agrees not to assert) any right the Company may now or at any time hereafter have, including any right to terminate, cancel, quit or surrender this Agreement or any Note except in accordance with the express terms thereof.

The Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, the Company's labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, and the goodwill associated with any of the foregoing, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and the Company's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Agent's benefit; (c) sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including the Company's premises) as the Agent determines is commercially reasonable. It is not necessary that the Collateral be present at any such sale; (d) give notice of the disposition of the Collateral as follows: (i) the Agent shall give the Company and each holder of a security interest in the Collateral who has filed with the Agent a written request for notice, a notice in writing of the time and place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or some other disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the Collateral, then the time on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made; (ii) the notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Company as provided in Section 22, at least ten (10) calendar days before the date fixed for the sale, or at least ten (10) calendar days before the date on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made, unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value. Notice to persons other than the Company claiming an interest in the Collateral shall be sent to such addresses as they have furnished to the Agent; (iii) if the sale is to be a public sale, the Agent also shall give notice of the time and place by publishing a notice one time at least ten (10) calendar days before the date of the sale in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the sale is to be held; (d) the Agent or any Purchaser may bid and purchase at any public or private sale and can offset the Company's Obligations against the purchase price; and (e) any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by the Company. Any excess will be returned, without interest and subject to the rights of third parties, by the Agent to the Company. 38 15.2. Payment of Expenses of Enforcement and Collection. In case of a default in the, payment of any principal of or interest on any Note, or default in the payment of amounts owing under this Agreement or any Loan Document, or default in the observance of any other agreement or covenant of the Company contained in this Agreement or any Loan Document, the Company will pay to the holder thereof or party thereto, in addition to any interest or premium otherwise required, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any and all costs and expenses of enforcement and collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. 15.3. Delay Not a Waiver. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of the Agent, any holder of any Note or Warrant or any party to this Agreement or any Loan Document in exercising any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder's or party's rights. No right or remedy conferred hereby or by any Loan Document shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy referred to herein or therein or available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. To the extent permitted under any applicable law, the Company hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit of any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension or redemption laws, whether such laws presently exist or may exist in the future, which laws might, but for this Section 15.3, be applicable to any sale of any or all of the assets of the Company (including without limitation the Collateral) made pursuant to any judgment, order or decree of any court, or otherwise based on any claim relating to or arising out of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents. 15.4. Specific Enforcement. The Purchasers shall, in addition to other remedies provided by law, have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement and any Loan Document specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement or any Loan Document will cause irreparable injury to the Purchasers and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Purchasers from pursuing any other remedies available to the Purchasers for such breach or threatened breach, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from the Company. 15.5. Certain Waivers. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein or in any other agreement between the Purchasers and the Company which may be applicable, the Company waives any right, to the extent applicable law permits, to receive prior notice of or a judicial or other hearing with respect to (i) any action or prejudgment remedy or proceeding by the Agent to take possession, exercise control over, or dispose of any item of the Collateral in any instance (regardless of where the same may be located) where such action is permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or by applicable law, and (ii) of the time, place or terms of sale in connection with the exercise of the Agent's rights hereunder. The Company also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any bonds, security or sureties required by any statute, rule or otherwise by law as an incident to any taking of possession by the Agent of Property subject to the Agent's Lien. The Company also waives any damages (direct, indirect, consequential or otherwise) occasioned by the enforcement of the Agent's rights under this Agreement including the taking of possession of any Collateral or the giving of notice to any account debtor, all to the extent that such waiver is permitted by law. The Company also 39 consents that the Agent may enter upon any premises owned by or leased to the Company without obligation to pay rent or other compensation or for use and occupancy, through self help, without judicial process and without having first given notice to the Company or obtained an order of any court. These waivers and all other waivers provided for in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other agreements or instruments executed in connection herewith have been negotiated by the parties and the Company acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its own choice and has consulted such counsel with respect to its rights hereunder. SECTION 16. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER Each holder of a Note or Warrant by acceptance thereof agrees that it will not sell or otherwise dispose of any Notes, Warrants or Shares unless such Notes, Warrants or Shares have been registered under, or have been sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under, the Securities Act. As a condition to the Company's obligation to issue a new Note or Warrant to a transferee thereof which (x) is not a holder of a Note or Warrant, the transferor must certify to the Company the facts on which the transferor is relying for such exemption and (y) is a holder of a Note or Warrant, the transferor must represent to the Company in writing that the transfer is so exempt. SECTION 17. REGISTRATION RIGHTS 17.1. Piggyback Rights. If the Company shall at any time propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act for any sales of shares of the Company's Common Stock (or any warrants, units, convertibles, rights or other securities related or linked to any shares of the Company's Common Stock) on behalf of the Company or otherwise, the Company shall give written notice of such registration no later than 60 days before its filing with the Commission to all holders of Warrants or Shares; provided that registrations relating solely to securities to be issued by the Company in connection with any employee stock option or employee stock purchase or savings plan on Form S-8 (or successor forms) under the Securities Act shall not be subject to this Section 17.1. If holders of Warrants or Shares so request within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, the Company shall include in any such registration the Shares held or to be held after exercise of Warrants by such holders and requested to be included in such registration. 17.2. Expenses. Subject to the limitations contained in this Section 17.2 and except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 17, the entire costs and expenses of any registration and qualification pursuant to Section 17.1 hereof shall be borne by the Company. Such costs and expenses shall include, without limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel for the Company and of its accountants, all other costs, fees and expenses of the Company incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to the holders of Warrants or Shares relating to such registration and qualification, the cost of furnishing copies of each preliminary prospectus, each final prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto to underwriters (if any), dealers and other purchasers of the Shares and the costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with the qualification of the Shares under the securities laws of various jurisdictions. The Company shall 40 not, however, pay underwriting fees or commissions to the extent related to the sale of Shares sold in any registration and qualification. 17.3. Procedures. (a) In the case of each registration or qualification pursuant to Section 17.1, the Company will keep all holders of Warrants or Shares advised in writing as to the initiation of proceedings for such registration and qualification and as to the completion thereof, and will advise any such holder, upon request, of the progress of such proceedings. (b) At the Company's expense, the Company will keep each registration and qualification under this Section 17 effective (and in compliance with the Securities Act) by such action as may be necessary or appropriate for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days after the effective date of such registration statement, including, without limitation, the filing of posteffective amendments and supplements to any registration statement or prospectus necessary to keep the registration statement current and the further qualification under any applicable state securities laws to permit such sale or distribution, all as requested by such holder or holders, provided, that such 120-day period shall be extended by the number of days (i) that a stop order or similar proceeding is in effect which prohibits the distribution of the Shares registered pursuant to this Section 17 and (ii) from and including the date that each holder on whose behalf Shares have been registered pursuant to this Section 17 shall have received a notice delivered pursuant to paragraph (c) below until the date on which such holders shall have received a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of the prospectus so that the prospectus thereafter shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; in light of the circumstances then existing. (c) The Company will immediately notify each holder on whose behalf Shares have been registered pursuant to this Section 17 at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. (d) If any registration under this Section 17 is in connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will furnish to each holder on whose behalf Shares have been registered pursuant to this Section 17 a signed counterpart, addressed to such holder, of (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the effective date of such registration statement, and (ii) a so called "cold comfort" letter signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company's financial statements included in such registration statement, and such opinion of counsel and accountants' letter shall cover substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of such accountants' letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are 41 customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants' letters delivered to underwriters in connection with underwritten public offerings of securities. (e) Without limiting any other provision hereof, in connection with any registration of Shares under this Section 17, the Company will comply with the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act and all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and will make generally available to its securities holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve (12) months, beginning with the first month of the first fiscal quarter after the effective date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act. (f) In connection with any registration of Shares under this Section 17, the Company will provide a transfer agent and registrar for the Shares not later than the effective date of such registration statement. (g) In connection with any underwritten registration of Shares under this Section 17, the Company will, if requested by the underwriters for any Shares included in such registration, enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, such agreement to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including, without limitation, provisions relating to indemnification and contribution. The holders on whose behalf Shares are to be distributed by such underwriters shall be parties to any such underwriting agreement, and the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such holders of Warrants or Shares and the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement shall be conditions precedent to the obligations of such holders of Warrants or Shares. The Company shall cooperate with such holders of Warrants or Shares in order to limit any representations or warranties to, or agreements with, the Company or such underwriters to be made by such holders only to those representations, warranties or agreements regarding such holder, such holder's Shares and such holder's intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law. Such underwriting agreement shall comply with Section 17.4 hereof. (h) Upon request by any holder of Warrants or Shares who has requested that their shares be included in a registration, the Company will give such holder and their underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and accountants, (i) such information regarding the preparation of such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, as such holder may specify, and (ii) opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers, its counsel and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements, as shall be necessary, in the opinion of such holders or such underwriters or their respective counsel, in order to conduct a reasonable and diligent investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. Without limiting the foregoing, each registration statement, prospectus, amendment, supplement or any other document filed with respect to a registration under this Section 17 shall be subject to review and reasonable approval by the holders registering Shares in such registration and by their counsel. 42 (i) The Company will cause all of the Shares registered pursuant to this Section 17 to be accepted for quotation as a National Market Security on The NASDAQ Stock Market to the same extent as similar securities issued by the Company. 17.4. Provision of Documents. The Company will, at the expense of the Company, furnish to each holder of Warrants or Shares with respect to which registration has been effected, such number of registration statements, prospectuses, offering circulars and other documents incident to any registration or qualification referred to in Section 17.1 as such holder from time to time may reasonably request. 17.5. Indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, each holder of Warrants or Shares and any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such holder and each person, if any, who controls the holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each of their respective directors, officers, general partners and members against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and reasonable costs of investigation) to which the holder or underwriter or such controlling person may be subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as any thereof arise out of or are base&upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) any registration statement under which such Shares were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 17.1 hereof (including all documents incorporated therein by reference), any prospectus or preliminary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) any other document incident to the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act or the qualification of the Shares under any state securities laws, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any item referred to in the preceding clause a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act or any other federal or state securities law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction by the Company in connection with any such registration or qualification, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission based upon information furnished to the Company in writing by such holder or by any underwriter for such holder expressly for use therein (with respect to which information such holder or underwriter shall so indemnify and hold harmless the Company, any underwriter for the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each of their respective directors, officers, general partners and members). The Company will enter into an underwriting agreement and other agreements with the underwriter or underwriters for any offering registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 17.1 hereof and with the holders of Securities selling Shares pursuant to such offering, and such underwriting agreement and other agreements shall contain customary provisions with respect to indemnification and contribution which shall, at a minimum, provide the indemnification set forth above. 17.6. Periodic Payments. The indemnification provided for in Section 17.5 shall be made 43 by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, upon the presentation by the indemnified party to the indemnifying party of a statement showing the amount of expense, loss, damage or liability for which payment is then requested. 17.7. Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in Section 17.5, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under Section 17.5 except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal fees and expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment an actual or potential conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim. The indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not such indemnified party or any Person who controls such indemnified party is a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and without limiting any of the rights set forth above, in any event any party will have the right to retain, at its own expense, counsel with respect to the defense of a claim. 17.8. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 17.5 is unavailable (for any reason other than a determination of its inapplicability by a court of competent jurisdiction) to hold harmless an indemnified party under such Section, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in Section 17.5 in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand, and the indemnified party on the other, in connection with statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, including without limitation the relative benefits received by each party from the offering of the securities covered by such registration statement, the parties' relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted and the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to 44 information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statements or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 17.8 were to be determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the underwriters, if any, were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first and second sentences of this Section 17.8. The Company and each holder of Warrants or Shares agrees with each other and any underwriters of the Shares, if requested by such underwriters, that (i) the underwriters' portion of such contribution shall not exceed the underwriting discount and (ii) that the amount of such contribution shall not exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such indemnifying party from the sale of securities in the offering to which the losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses of the indemnified parties relate. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 17.9. Certain Limitations in Connection with Future Grants of Registration Rights. (a) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any of its Common Stock providing for the granting to such holder of demand registration rights unless such agreement includes provisions to the effect that (i) the Company will give the holders of Warrants and Shares notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of a registration statement pursuant to the exercise of such rights and (ii) notwithstanding Section 17.1 hereof, if a holder of Warrants or Shares requests inclusion of Shares (whether such Shares are held directly or through the right to obtain such Shares upon the conversion of Warrants held by such holder) and requests priority for such Shares in such registration statement within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, then such holder's Shares requested to be so included will be given priority over the securities sought to be registered by the holders of such demand registration rights if marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities to be included in such registration statement If a holder of Warrants or Shares requests inclusion of its Shares (whether such Shares are held directly or through the right to obtain such Shares upon conversion of Warrants held by such holder), but does not request such priority for such Shares in such registration, then such Shares shall be included in such registration statement in the manner described in Section 17.1 hereof. (b) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any of its Common Stock providing for the granting to such holder of incidental or "piggyback" registration rights unless such agreement includes provisions to the effect that, in the case of a registered underwritten public offering of the Company's Common Stock to which Section 17.1 hereof applies, such agreement gives the following priority to holders of Warrants or Shares if marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in such offering the holders of Warrants or Shares and other holders of securities of the Company having piggyback registration rights shall have an equal right to include securities in such registration (beyond the amount to be included on behalf of the Company) in proportion to their relative holdings of shares of Common 45 Stock of the Company (whether held directly or obtainable upon conversion or the exercise of warrants or other rights). SECTION 18. INDEMNIFICATION 18.1. Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each Purchaser and each holder of a Note or Warrant or Share harmless (including any of such Purchaser's or holder's affiliated companies) and any of such Purchaser's or holder's directors, officers, employees, or agents and any person controlling (within the meaning of Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act) such Purchaser or holder or any of its affiliated companies (collectively, the "Indemnified Persons") from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, securities law penalties, and expenses whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all reasonable fees and expenses whatsoever incurred by an Indemnified Person and its attorneys in investigating, preparing for, defending against, acting as a witness, providing evidence, producing documents, or taking any other action in respect of any litigation or proceeding, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever), (collectively, the "Losses") arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document, other than to the extent Losses result from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Indemnified Person. The foregoing indemnity shall be in addition to any other rights which the Indemnified Persons may have against the Company otherwise than under this paragraph. If a court shall hold for any reason that the preceding indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person as to any matter for which it would be available if enforceable in accordance with its terms, the Company on the one hand and the Indemnified Person on the other agree to contribute to such loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits and the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnified Person on the other in connection with the statements, actions, or omissions which results in such Loss, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 18.2. Indemnification Procedures. If any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the Company of any claim or of the commencement of any proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant hereto and of which such Indemnified Party knew or reasonably should have known; provided, however, that the failure so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the amount owed by the Company has been increased by such failure. The Company shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Person within 20 Business Days after receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Person of such claim or proceeding, to assume, at its expense, the defense of any such claim or proceeding; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (1) the Company agrees to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Company fails promptly to assume, or to diligently pursue, the defense of such claim or proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such claim or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Person and one or more of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, and such Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that there may be 46 one or more material defenses available to such Indemnified Person which are different from or additional to those available to the Company or such Affiliate; or (4) an Event of Default is continuing; or (5) the claim or proceeding seeks to impose criminal penalties against the Indemnified Person (in which case if such Indemnified Person notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof, it being understood, however, that the Company shall not, in connection with any one such claim or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related claims or proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Person). Whether or not such defense is assumed by the Company, such Indemnified Person will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). SECTION 19. DIRECT PAYMENTS As long as the Purchaser or any payee named in the Notes delivered to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, or any institutional holder which is a direct or indirect transferee from the Purchaser or such payee, shall be the holder of any Note, the Company will make payments (whether at maturity, upon mandatory or optional prepayment, upon repurchase or otherwise) of principal, interest and premium, if any, (i) by check payable to the order of the holder of any such Note duly mailed or delivered to such address as the Purchaser or such other holder may designate in writing or (ii) if requested by the Purchaser or such other holder, by wire transfer to the Purchaser's or such other holder's (or its nominee's) account at any bank or trust company in the United States of America, notwithstanding any contrary provision herein or in any Note with respect to the place of payment. IF THE PURCHASER HAS PROVIDED AN ADDRESS ON EXHIBIT A HERETO FOR PAYMENTS BY WIRE TRANSFER, THEN THE PURCHASER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE REQUESTED WIRE TRANSFER PAYMENTS UNDER THE PRECEDING CLAUSE (ii). All such payments shall be made in federal or other immediately available funds and shall arrive by 2:00 p.m. local time at the place of payment on the day when due. SECTION 20. SECURITY INTEREST The Company shall grant to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers a security interest in the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Assignment. SECTION 21. THE AGENT 21.1. Appointment. Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agent as the agent of such Purchaser under this Agreement and the Loan Documents, and each such Purchaser irrevocably authorizes the Agent, as the agent for such Purchaser, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are 47 reasonably incidental thereto. 21.2. Application of Proceeds of the Collateral. All Collateral shall be held or administered by the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers. Any proceeds received by the Agent from the foreclosure, sale, lease or other disposition of any of the Collateral and any other proceeds received pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents shall be applied, first, to the cost of any such foreclosure, sale, lease or other disposition and, second, to the payment in full of the remaining Company's Obligations pro rata in proportion to the amount of the Company's Obligations owed to each Person. 21.3. Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. 21.4. Reliance by Agent. The Agent may deem and treat the registered owner of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Noteholders as it deems appropriate. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the Notes or any Loan Document in accordance with a request of the Majority Noteholders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Purchasers and all future holders of the Notes. 21.5. Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Agent has received notice from the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". The Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers. 21.6. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to any Note issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms "Purchaser" and "Purchasers" shall include the Agent in its individual capacity. 21.7. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon 20 days notice to the Purchasers. If the Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Purchasers on whose behalf such Agent is acting shall appoint a successor agent for the Purchasers, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to 48 this Agreement or any Loan Document or any holders of the Notes. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 21 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

By_____________________________ Name: Charles J.

INTEGRAL VISION, INC. Common Stock Purchase Warrant Certificate Dated March 29, 2001 Farmington Hills, Michigan FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned INTEGRAL VISION, INC., a Michigan corporation (herein referred to as the "Company"), hereby certifies and agrees that Mid-State Industrial Services, Inc., a Michigan corporation of 1118 Centennial Way, Lansing, MI 48917 or registered assigns, is entitled to purchase from the Company up to an aggregate of Two Hundred Forty Thousand (240,000) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, no par value, or any stock into which such Common Stock shall have been changed or any stock or other securities resulting from a reclassification thereof (all such shares, stock or other securities which may be purchased by this, and all other, Warrants are herein known as the "Shares") at a purchase price per Share of $0.50 at any time and from time to time from the date hereof until 5:00 p.m. on May 30, 2005. The foregoing agreement and rights are all subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments (in both the number of Shares and the purchase price per Share) set forth below in this Warrant Certificate. This Warrant Certificate is one of the Common Stock Purchase Warrant Certificates (the "Warrants", which term includes all Warrants issued in substitution therefor) originally issued in connection with the issue and sale by the Company of its Senior Subordinated Secured Notes (the "Notes"). The Warrants and the Notes have been issued pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated effective as of March 29, 2001 (the "Purchase Agreement") among the Company, and the Purchasers named therein. The Warrants originally so issued evidence rights to purchase an aggregate of 240,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein. This Warrant is subject to the provisions, and is entitled to the benefits, of the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the registration rights provisions contained therein. The Company represents that all Shares to which the holders of the Warrants shall be entitled upon the exercise thereof (i) are duly authorized by the Articles of Incorporation of the Company in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, (ii) have been duly authorized to be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants from time to time in whole or in part, (iii) will be, 57 when issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, duly authorized and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all Liens and rights of others whatsoever (other than Liens and rights of others claiming by, through or under the holder hereof) and (iv) will not be at the time of such exercise subject to any restrictions on transfer or sale except as provided by applicable laws. Section 1. Exercise of Warrant. 1. 1. Manner of Exercise. (a) This Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part, during normal business hours on any Business Day by surrender of this Warrant, together with the form of subscription attached as Annex A hereto (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by such holder in substantially such form, to the Company at its office designated pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (or, if such exercise is in connection with an underwritten public offering of Shares subject to this Warrant, at the location at which the underwriting agreement requires that such Shares be delivered). (b) Payment of the exercise price for Shares shall be made, at the option of the holder (i) as provided in Section 1.5 hereof, or (ii) by check or wire transfer payable to the order of the Company, in any case, in an amount equal to (A) the number of Shares specified in such form of subscription, multiplied by (B) the then current exercise price. Such holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of Shares specified in such form of subscription (plus cash in lieu of any fractional share as provided in Section 1.3 hereof). 1.2. Effective Date. Each exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1. 1 (a) hereof shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 1. 1 hereof (except that if such exercise is in connection with an underwritten public offering of Shares subject to this Warrant, then such exercise shall be deemed to have been effected upon such surrender of this Warrant), and such exercise shall be at the current exercise price in effect at such time. On each such day that an exercise of this Warrant is deemed effected, the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for Shares are issuable upon such exercise (as provided in Section 1.3 hereof) shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof. 1.3. Share Certificates; Cash for Fractional Shares; and Reissuance of Warrants. As promptly as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter (unless such exercise shall be in connection with a public offering of Shares subject to this Warrant, in which event concurrently with such exercise), the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue, stamp or other taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder hereof or such other person as such holder may direct: (a) a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares to which such holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would 58 otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price per Share (determined in accordance with Section 2.2(f) hereof) on the effective date of such exercise; and (b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, calling in, the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number (which may be fractional) of Shares (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) equal to the number of such Shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Shares which could have been obtained upon such exercise for the exercise price paid if the current exercise price had been $0.50 per Share. 1.4. Acknowledgment of Obligation. The Company will, at the time of or at any thereafter each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the holder hereof or of any Shares issued upon such exercise, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder all rights (including, without limitation, any rights to registration of any such Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) to which such holder shall continue to be entitled under this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement; provided, that if any such holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford such rights to such holder. 1.5. Notes. The holder shall have the option, but not the obligation, upon any exercise of this Warrant, to apply to the payment required by Section 1. 1 hereof all or any part of the accrued and unpaid interest on, or principal of, any Notes at the time held by the holder. The Company will accept the amount of accrued and unpaid interest or principal, if such election is selected, specified in the form of subscription in satisfaction of the exercise price for such Shares to be purchased. The holder shall have the right to apply all or any portion of such accrued and unpaid interest or principal to exercise all or any portion of this Warrant whether or not payment on the Notes is otherwise prohibited. 1.6. Restriction. The holder acknowledges that the Shares acquired upon exercise of the Warrant will be "restricted securities" as that term is defined under the regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, will not be saleable in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration, and accordingly may be required to be held for an indefinite period of time. The holder agrees that Shares issued pursuant hereto may contain the following legend on the face thereof: "This security has not been registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and each holder of this security by the acceptance hereof agrees that this security shall not be transferred in violation of said Act." The Company agrees that such legend shall be removed from any Shares which are no longer subject to such restrictions. Each holder of a Warrant by acceptance thereof agrees that it will not sell or otherwise dispose of any Warrants or Shares unless such Warrants or Shares have been registered under, or have been sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under, the Securities Act. As a condition to the Company's obligation to issue a new Warrant to a transferee thereof which (x) is not a holder of a Warrant, the transferor must certify to the Company the facts on which the transferor is relying for such exemption or (y) is a holder of a Warrant, the transferor must represent to the Company in writing that the transfer is so exempt. 59 Section 2. Current Exercise Price and Adjustments. 2.1 Current Exercise Price. The term "current exercise price" shall mean initially $0.50 per Share, subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided, in effect at any given time. In determining the current exercise price, the result shall be expressed to the nearest $.01, but any such lesser amount shall be carried forward and shall be considered at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments being carried forward, shall amount to $.01 per Share or more. 2.2. Adjustment of Current Exercise Price. The current exercise price shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time (but not below zero), as follows: (a) Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Recapitalization. etc. In the event the Company shall, after the Closing Date, issue any shares of Common Stock (i) by stock dividend or any other distribution upon the stock of the Company payable in Common Stock or in securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or (ii) in subdivision of its outstanding Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, the current exercise price then in effect shall be reduced proportionately; and, in like manner, in the event of any combination of shares of Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, the current exercise price then in effect shall be increased proportionately. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination. (b) Adjustments for Issuance of Additional Stock. Subject to the exception referred to in Section 2.2(e) hereof and except as otherwise provided for in Section 2.2(a) hereof, in case the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date issue any additional shares of its Common Stock ("Additional Common Stock") either (i) for consideration per share less than the then current Market Price per share of the Company's Common Stock (determined as provided in Section 2.2(f) hereof) immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Common Stock, or (ii) for a consideration per share less than the then current exercise price immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Common Stock, or (iii) without consideration, then (in the case of either clause (i), (ii) or (iiii)), and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the current exercise price shall forthwith be reduced to a price determined by multiplying such current exercise price by a fraction, of which (A) the numerator shall be (i) the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance of shares of Additional Common Stock plus (ii) the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock which the aggregate amount of consideration, if any, received by the Company for the total number of shares of Additional Common Stock so issued would purchase at the greater of (x) the Market Price per share of the Company's Common Stock in effect immediately prior to such issuance of shares of Additional Common Stock or (y) the exercise price per Share in effect immediately prior to such 60 issuance of shares of Additional Common Stock, and (B) the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance of shares of Additional Common Stock, provided, however, that such adjustment shall be made only if the current exercise price determined from the aforesaid fraction shall be less than the current exercise price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Common Stock. The adjustment described in this Section 2.2(b) shall be made whenever such Common Stock is issued, and shall become effective retroactively immediately after the date on which the Company committed to make such issuance. (c) Certain Rules in Applying the Adjustment for Additional Stock Issuances. For purposes of any adjustment as provided in Section 2.2(b), the following provisions shall also be applicable: (1) Cash Consideration. In case of the issuance of Additional Common Stock for cash, the consideration received by the Company therefor shall be deemed to be the net cash proceeds received by the Company for such Additional Common Stock after deducting any commissions or other expenses paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with the issuance of, such Additional Common Stock. (2) Non-Cash Consideration. In case of the issuance (other than application of obligations of the Company) of Additional Common Stock for a consideration other than cash, or a consideration a part of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash so received or to be received by the Company shall be deemed to be the value of such consideration at the time of its receipt by the Company as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, provided, that where the non-cash consideration consists of the cancellation, surrender or exchange of outstanding obligations of the Company (or where such obligations are otherwise converted into shares of the Company's Common Stock), the value of the non-cash consideration shall be deemed to be the amount, including principal and any accrued interest, as of the time of the Company's receipt, of the obligations canceled, surrendered, satisfied, exchanged or converted. If the Company receives consideration, part or all of which consists of publicly traded securities, the value of such non-cash consideration shall be the aggregate market value of such securities (based on the latest reported trades) as of the close of the day immediately preceding the date of their receipt by the Company. (3) Options, Warrants, Convertibles, etc. In case of the issuance (other than by way of a Distribution on Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.2(b) hereof), whether by distribution or sale to holders of its Common Stock or to others, by the Company of (i) any security that is convertible into the Company's Common Stock or (ii) any rights, options or warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock (except for the Warrants), if inclusion thereof would result in a current exercise price lower than if excluded, the Company shall be deemed to have issued, for the consideration described below, the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock into 61 which such convertible security may be converted when first convertible, or the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants when first exercisable, as the case may be (and such shares shall be deemed to be Additional Common Stock for purposes of Section 2.2(b) hereof). The consideration deemed to be received by the Company at the time of the issuance of such convertible securities or such rights, options or warrants shall be the consideration so received determined as provided in Sections 2.2(c)(1) and (2) hereof deducting any commissions or other expenses paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance of such convertible securities or rights, options or warrants, plus (x) any consideration or adjustment payment to be received by the Company in connection with such conversion, or, as applicable, (y) the aggregate price at which shares of the Company's Common Stock are to be delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants when first exercisable (or, if no price is specified and such shares are to be delivered at an option price related to the Market Price of the subject Common Stock, an aggregate option price bearing the same relation to the Market Price of the subject Common Stock at the time such rights, options or warrants were granted). In case any such securities, rights, options or warrants shall be issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such securities, rights, options or warrants, such securities, rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration. If, subsequently, (1) such number of shares into which such convertible security is convertible, or which are deliverable upon the exercise of such right, options or warrants, is increased or (2) the conversion or exercise price of such convertible security, rights, options or warrants is decreased, then the calculations under the preceding two sentences (and any resulting adjustment to the current exercise price under 2.2(b) hereof) with respect to such convertible security, rights, options or warrants, as the case may be, shall be recalculated as of the time of such issuance but giving effect to such changes (but any such recalculation shall not result in the current exercise price being higher than that which would be calculated without regard to such issuance). On the expiration or termination of such rights, options or warrants, or rights to convert, the current exercise price hereunder shall be readjusted (up or down as the case may be) to such current exercise price as would have been obtained had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities been made upon the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants or upon the conversion of any such securities and at the actual exercise or conversion prices (but any such recalculation shall not result in the current exercise price being higher than that which would be calculated without regard to such issuance). (4) Number of Shares Outstanding. The number of shares of the Company's Common Stock as at the time outstanding shall exclude all shares of the Company's Common Stock then owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries but shall include the aggregate number of shares of the Company's Common Stock at the time deliverable in respect of the convertible securities, rights, options and warrants referred to in Section 2.2(c)(3 )); provided, that to the extent that such rights, options, warrants or conversion privileges are not exercised, such shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding only until the expiration dates of the rights, warrants, options or conversion privileges or the prior cancellation thereof. 62 (d) Exclusions from the Adjustment for Additional Stock Issuances. No adjustment of the current exercise price under Section 2.2(b) hereof shall be made as a result of or in connection with the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Warrants or the exercise of options to purchase 982,600 shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to options previously granted to certain officers of the Company pursuant to the Company's stock option plans. To the extent that the issuance (or deemed issuance) of the Company's Common Stock shall not result in any adjustment of the current exercise price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.2(d), then such Common Stock shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining any fraction referred to in Section 2.2(b) hereof. (e) Accountants' Certification. Whenever the current exercise price is adjusted as provided in this Section 2.2, the Company will promptly obtain a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants of recognized national standing selected by the Board of Directors of the Company (who may be the regular auditors of the Company) setting forth the current exercise price as so adjusted, the computation of such adjustment and a brief statement of facts accounting for such adjustment, and will mail to the holders of the Warrants a copy of such certificate from such firm of independent public accountants. (f) Determination of Market Price. The current "Market Price" per share of the Company's Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the twenty (20) consecutive trading dates ending on the trading day before such date. The closing price for each day shall be the last reported sale price or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, in either case on the principal national United States securities exchange on which the Company's Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or if the Company's Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any such national securities exchange, the average of the highest reported bid and lowest reported asked prices as furnished by the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc., Automated Quotation System Level I, or comparable system. If the closing price cannot be so determined, the Market Price shall be determined: (x) by the written agreement of the Company and the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the Shares then obtainable from the exercise of outstanding Warrants (the "Majority Holders"); or (y) in the event that no such agreement is reached within fifteen (15) days after the event giving rise to the need to determine the Market Price, by a nationally recognized U.S. investment banking firm, selected by the Company ("Company Appraiser") not more than 5 Business Days after the end of such 15 day period. Any appraiser appointed pursuant to this paragraph shall be instructed to make its determination as promptly as possible and in any event within 30 days of appointment. If no such selection is made within such period, then the Majority Holders shall as promptly as possible select such a firm whose determination shall be final and binding. If such selection is timely made by the Company, and the Majority Holders do not object to the Market Price as determined by the Company Appraiser within 10 days of receipt of notice thereof by all holders of Warrants, then the Market Price as determined by the Company 63 Appraiser shall be the Market Price. If the Majority Holders do so object to the Company Appraiser's determination of Market Price, then the Majority Holders can select a nationally recognized U.S. investment banking firm ("Alternate Appraiser") to review the Company Appraiser's report and other relevant information. Within 10 days after receipt by the Alternate Appraiser of such report and such other information as is reasonably requested by the Alternate Appraiser, the Company Appraiser and Alternate Appraiser shall communicate and/or meet to resolve any questions or differences with respect to the Market Price. If such appraisers agree on a Market Price, such Market Price shall be the Market Price. If no agreement is reached then the Company Appraiser and Alternate Appraiser shall select a third nationally recognized firm ("Third Appraiser"). If the Company Appraiser and the Alternate Appraiser cannot agree on a Third Appraiser within 20 days of the end of such 10 day period, either may apply to the American Arbitration Association to appoint the Third Appraiser. The Third Appraiser shall, within 30 days of its hire, issue a report with its determination of Market Price which shall be conclusive and binding. All expenses of the Company Appraiser shall be borne by the Company. All expenses of the Alternate Appraiser shall be borne by the holders of the Warrants. All expenses of the Third Appraiser shall be borne equally by the Company and the holders of the Warrants. Market Price shall be determined on the basis of the fair market value of the Company as if it were sold as a going concern on the date of valuation and without regard to the lack of any trading market for, or the lack of liquidity in, the Common Stock of the Company. The Company shall cooperate, and shall provide all necessary information and assistance, to permit any determination under the preceding clause (x) or (y). Each Appraiser shall be instructed to use its best efforts to give the Company and all holders reasonable advance notice of the Market Price and the contents of its report (by delivering a draft report) before the report is delivered in final form. Any communications or reports by an Appraiser to either the Company or any of the holders regarding Market Price shall be given simultaneously to both the Company and all of the holders. (g) Antidilution Adjustments Under Other Securities. Without limiting any other rights available hereunder to the holders of Warrants, if there is an antidilution adjustment (x) under any security which is convertible into Common Stock of the Company whether issued prior to or after the date hereof or (y) under any rights, options or warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company whether issued prior to or after the date hereof (except for the Warrants and except as stated in Section 2.2(d) hereof) which (in the case of the preceding clause (x) or (y)) results in a reduction in the exercise or purchase price with respect to such security or rights or results in an increase in the number of shares obtainable under such security or rights, then an adjustment 64 shall be made under this Section 2.2(g) to the current exercise price hereunder. Any such adjustment under this Section 2.2(g) shall be whichever of the following results in a lower current exercise price: (A) a reduction in the current exercise price equal to the percentage reduction in such exercise or purchase price with respect to such security or rights or (B) a reduction in the current exercise price which will result in the same percentage increase in the number of Shares available hereunder as the percentage increase in the number of Shares available under such security or rights. Any such adjustment under this Section 2.2(g) shall only be made if it would result in a lower current exercise price than that which would be determined pursuant to any other antidilution adjustment otherwise required hereunder as a result of the event or circumstance which triggered the adjustment to the security or rights described in clause (x) or (y) above (and if any such adjustment is so made under this Section 2.2(g), then such other antidilution adjustment otherwise required hereunder shall not be made as a result of such event or circumstance). (h) Reorganization Adjustments. In case of any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or a stock split-up), the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase for the current exercise price the securities and property receivable upon such capital reorganization or reclassification by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which this Warrant entitled the holder hereof to purchase immediately prior to such capital reorganization or reclassification. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.2(h), the holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to purchase any other securities or property other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other securities or property so purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the current exercise price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in this Section 2.2. (i) Other Adjustments. Without limiting any provisions of this Section 2.2 or any other provisions of this Warrant, in case any event shall occur as to which any of the provisions of this Section 2.2 are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the exercise rights represented by the Warrants in accordance with the intent and principles of this Section 2.2, the Company shall at its expense appoint a firm of independent public accountants of recognized national standing selected by the Board of Directors of the Company (who may be the regular auditors of the Company), and reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders, which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the intent and principles established in this Section 2.2, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the economic and other rights represented by the Warrants. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail copies thereof to the holders of the Warrants and shall make the adjustments described therein. (j) Meaning of "Issuance". References in this Warrant to "issuance" of stock by the Company include issuances by the Company of previously unissued shares and issuances, sales or other transfers by the Company of treasury stock. Section 3. Company's Consolidation or Merger. If the Company shall at any time 65 consolidate with or merge into another entity (where the Company is not the continuing corporation after such merger or consolidation), the holder of a Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon the exercise thereof in whole or in part, the securities or other property to which (and upon the same terms and with the same rights as) a holder of the number of Shares then deliverable upon the exercise thereof would have been entitled upon such consolidation or merger (subject to adjustments under Section 2.2 hereof), and the Company shall take such steps in connection with such consolidation or merger as may be necessary to assure such holder that the provisions of the Warrants and the Purchase Agreement shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant, including, but not limited to, obtaining a written acknowledgment from the continuing entity of its obligation to supply such securities or property upon such exercise and to be so bound by the Warrant and the Purchase Agreement. A sale, transfer or lease (in one, or a series of related, transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another person shall be deemed a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes. Section 4. Notice to Holders of Warrants. In case at any time: (i) the Company shall take any action which would require an adjustment in the current exercise price pursuant to Section 2.2(a), (b), (j), (h) or (i); or (ii) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Company's Common Stock (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value of the Common Stock), or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or any sale, transfer or lease (in one, or a series of related, transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iii) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give written notice to the holders of the Warrants, not less than twenty (20) days before any record date or other date set for definitive action, of the date on which such action, reorganization, reclassification, sale, transfer, lease, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be, and the terms thereof. Section 5. Number of Shares. Upon any adjustment of the current exercise price, the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter (until another such adjustment) be entitled to purchase at the current exercise price the number of Shares, calculated to the nearest 1/100 of a Share, obtained by multiplying the current exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the new current exercise price resulting from such adjustment. 66 Section 6. Specific Performance. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of a holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise. Section 7. No Rights or Liabilities as Stockholder. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the holder hereof any rights as a stockholder of the Company (prior to exercise of all or a portion of this Warrant) or as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors or stockholders of the Company or otherwise. Section 8. Ownership; Transfer. The Company may treat the Person in whose name this Warrant is registered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as the owner and holder of this Warrant for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary (except that the Company shall comply with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement regarding the issuance of a new Warrant or Warrants to transferees). This Warrant is transferable upon the conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement. Section 9. Covenants 9.1. Information Requirements. The Company will provide to each holder of Warrants or Shares, promptly after the same are available, copies of each annual report, proxy or financial statement or other communication sent to the Company's or a Subsidiary's stockholders and copies of all annual, regular, periodic and special reports and registration statements which the Company may file or be required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission or with any securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. 9.2. Reservation of Shares. There have been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved, out of its authorized Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the then outstanding Warrants. 9.3. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, 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 of this Warrant. The Company will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms, and in the taking of all such action, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, free from all taxes, 67 Liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, upon the exercise of this Warrant from time to time outstanding and (c) will not take any action which results in any adjustment of this current exercise price under this Warrant if the total number of shares of the Company's Common Stock (or other securities) issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) then authorized by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise. 9.4. Listing of Shares. If the Company shall list any shares of its Common Stock on any national securities exchange, it will take such action as may be necessary, from time to time, to list the Shares, subject to issuance, on such exchange. 9.5. Securities Exchange Act Registration. At any time that the Company either files and such filing becomes effective, or is required to file, a registration statement with respect to Common Stock of the Company under Section 5 of the Securities Act or Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act, then thereafter: (a) The Company will maintain effective a registration statement (containing such information and documents as the Commission shall specify and otherwise complying with the Securities Exchange Act) with respect to the Common Stock of the Company under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g), whichever is applicable, of the Securities Exchange Act and will file on time such information, documents and reports as the Commission may require or prescribe for companies whose stock has been registered pursuant to such Section 12(b) or Section 12(g), whichever is applicable. (b) The Company will, upon the request of the holder hereof or of any Shares, make whatever other filings with the Commission, or otherwise make generally available to the public such financial and other information, as any such holder may deem reasonably necessary or desirable in order to enable such holder to be permitted to sell Shares pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor statute, rule or regulation to Rule 144). 9.6. Delivery of Information for Rule 144A Transactions. If a holder of Warrants or Shares proposes to transfer any such Warrants or Shares pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (as in effect from time to time), the Company agrees to provide (upon the request of such holder or the prospective transferee) to such holder and (if requested) to the prospective transferee any financial or other information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries which is required to be delivered by such holder to any transferee of such Warrants or Shares pursuant to such Rule 144A.
