Americana
Distribution, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”),
hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Cornell
Capital Partners, L.P.(the
“Holder”),
the
registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns, is entitled, subject to
the
terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company upon surrender of this
Warrant, at any time or times on or after the date hereof, but not after
11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date (as defined herein) Three
Hundred Twenty Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand (328,500,000) fully paid
and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined herein) of the Company (the
“Warrant
Shares”)
at the
exercise price per share provided in Section 1(b) below or as subsequently
adjusted; provided, however, that in no event shall the holder be entitled
to
exercise this Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of that number
of
Warrant Shares which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder
and
its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock
following such exercise, except within sixty (60) days of the Expiration Date
(however, such restriction may be waived by Holder (but only as to itself and
not to any other holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the
Company). For purposes of the foregoing proviso, the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant with respect to which the determination of such proviso is being made,
but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
(i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrants beneficially owned by
the holder and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the
unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates (including, without
limitation, any convertible notes or preferred stock) subject to a limitation
on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except
as
set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a holder may rely on the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most
recent Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or its
transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Upon the written request of any holder, the Company shall promptly, but in
no
event later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt of such notice,
confirm in writing to any such holder the number of shares of Common Stock
then
outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall
be determined after giving effect to the exercise of Warrants (as defined below)
by such holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

Section
2. Exercise
of Warrant.
(a) Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the holder
hereof then registered on the books of the Company, pro rata as hereinafter
provided, at any time on any Business Day on or after the opening of business
on
such Business Day, commencing with the first day after the date hereof, and
prior to 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date (i) by 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, payment to the Company of an
amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price(s) applicable to the Warrant Shares
being purchased, multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares (at the
applicable Warrant Exercise Price) as to which this Warrant is being
exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) (the “Aggregate
Exercise Price”)
in
cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds and the surrender of this
Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in
the
case of its loss, theft or destruction) to a common carrier for overnight
delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date
(“Cash
Basis”)
or
(ii) if at the time of exercise, the Warrant Shares are not subject to an
effective registration statement or if an Event of Default has occurred, by
delivering an Exercise Notice and in lieu of making payment of the Aggregate
Exercise Price in cash or wire transfer, elect instead to receive upon such
exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the
following formula (the “Cashless
Exercise”):
Net
Number = (A
x
B) - (A x C)
B
For
purposes of the foregoing formula:
A
= the
total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised.
B
= the
Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the date of exercise of the
Warrant.
C
= the
Warrant Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at
the
time of such exercise.
In
the
event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in compliance
with this Section 2, the Company shall on or before the fifth (5th)
Business Day following the date of 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) and the receipt
of the representations of the holder specified in Section 6 hereof, if requested
by the Company (the “Exercise
Delivery Documents”),
and
if the Common Stock is DTC eligible, 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 The Depository Trust Company; provided, however,
if the holder who submitted the Exercise Notice requested physical delivery
of
any or all of the Warrant Shares, or, if the Common Stock is not DTC eligible
then the Company shall, on or before the fifth (5th)
Business Day following receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, issue and
surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address specified
in
the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the holder, for
the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled
pursuant to such request. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate
Exercise Price referred to in clause (i) or (ii) 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. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Warrant
Exercise Price, the Closing Bid Price or the arithmetic calculation of the
Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the holder the number of
Warrant Shares 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 the holder’s Exercise Notice.
(b) 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 one (1)
day 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 or the Closing Bid 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.
(c) 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.
(d) No
fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon any pro rata exercise of this
Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise
of
this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole
number.
(e) If
the
Company or its Transfer Agent shall fail for any reason or for no reason to
issue to the holder within ten (10) days of receipt of the Exercise
Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares to which
the
holder is entitled or to credit the holder’s balance account with The Depository
Trust Company for such number of Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled
upon the holder’s exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, in addition to
any other remedies under this Warrant or otherwise available to such holder,
pay
as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day the issuance of such
certificate for Warrant Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 0.025%
of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Warrant Shares not issued to
the
holder on a timely basis and to which the holder is entitled, and (B) the
Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding
the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Common Stock
to
the holder without violating this Section 2.
(f) If
within
ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents,
the Company fails to deliver a new Warrant to the holder for the number of
Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2 hereof,
then, in addition to any other available remedies under this Warrant, or
otherwise available to such holder, the Company shall pay as additional damages
in cash to such holder on each day after such tenth (10th)
day
that such delivery of such new Warrant is not timely effected in an amount
equal
to 0.25% of the product of (A) the number of Warrant Shares represented by
the portion of this Warrant which is not being exercised and (B) the
Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding
the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Warrant to
the
holder without violating this Section 2.
Section
3. Covenants
as to Common Stock.
The
Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) This
Warrant is, and any Warrants 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 one hundred
percent (100%) 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. If at any time the Company does not have a sufficient number
of
shares of Common Stock authorized and available, then the Company shall call
and
hold a special meeting of its stockholders within sixty (60) days of that
time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock.
(d) If
at any
time after the date hereof the Company shall file a registration statement,
the
Company shall include the Warrant Shares issuable to the holder, pursuant to
the
terms of this Warrant and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common
Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares 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. The Company
will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon
the exercise of this Warrant above the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect,
and (ii) 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.
Section
4. Taxes.
The
Company shall pay any and all taxes, except any applicable withholding, 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 capital stock 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 the 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 the 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 any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term
and
reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and the 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)(1) of Regulation D promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (an “Accredited
Investor”).
Upon
exercise of this Warrant the holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm
in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares
so
purchased are being acquired solely for the holder’s own account and not as a
nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward
distribution or resale and that such holder is an Accredited Investor. If such
holder cannot make such representations because they would be factually
incorrect, it shall be a condition to such holder’s exercise of this Warrant
that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers
reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities
upon exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state
securities laws.
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.
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 Issuance Date of this Warrant, the Company issues
or
sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common
Stock (other than Excluded Securities) for a consideration per share less
than a price (the “Applicable
Price”)
equal
to the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance
or
sale, then immediately after such issue or sale the Warrant Exercise Price
then
in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to such consideration per share.
Upon each such adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price hereunder, the number
of
Warrant Shares issuable 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 Warrant Shares issuable
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:
(i) Issuance
of Options.
If
after the date hereof, 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 or 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 the
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 Warrant Shares issuable
upon
exercise of this Warrant 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 Issuance Date 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 pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be
made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Warrant Exercise
Price then in effect.
(iv) Calculation
of Consideration Received.
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 therefore will
be
deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefore. 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 marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration
received by the Company will be the market price of such securities on the
date
of receipt of such securities. 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 therefore 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 at least
two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable 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 (5) 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 at least
two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable 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 jointly
by the Company and the holders of Warrants.
(v) Integrated
Transactions.
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.
(vi) Treasury
Shares.
The
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time does not include
shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition
of any shares so owned or held will be considered an issue or sale of Common
Stock.
(vii) 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.
(c) 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, any 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,
any
Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will
be
proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment
under
this Section 8(c) shall become effective at the close of business on the
date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) 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 similar transaction)
(a
“Distribution”),
at
any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such
case:
(i) any
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 Sale Price
of the Common Stock 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 Sale Price of the Common Stock 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).
(e) 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, except as set forth in
section 8(c),that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(e) will increase
the Warrant Exercise Price or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock
obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 8.
(f) 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 ten
(10)
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
ten
(10) 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.
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.
(b) Any
recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale
of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or other
transaction in each case 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 an “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 Warrants
representing at least two-thirds (iii) of the Warrant Shares issuable 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 without regard to any limitations on exercise, if the value so
reflected is less than any Applicable Warrant Exercise Price 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
Warrant Shares issuable 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
Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable and receivable upon the exercise
of such holder’s Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise),
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
Warrant Shares which would have been issuable 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 exercisability of this
Warrant).
Section
10. Lost,
Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant.
If this
Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall promptly,

receipt of an indemnification undertaking (or, in the case of a mutilated
Warrant, the Warrant), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as
this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
