EX-10.8-14th Page of 20TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 4th
In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such officer before the Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been disposed of by the Company, such Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered or disposed of as though such person had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant Agreement any such person was not such officer. Section 4. REGISTRATION. The Company shall number and register the Warrant Certificates in a register as they are issued by the Company. The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered as the absolute owner(s) thereof, for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Section 5. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES. (a) TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF WARRANTS AND REGISTRABLE SECURITIES.

EX-10.8-15th Page of 20TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, a certification to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto); (C) if such Registrable Security is being transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act (and based on an opinion of counsel if the Company so requests), a certification to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto); or (D) if such Registrable Security is being transferred in reliance on another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (and based on an opinion of counsel if the Company so requests), a certification to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto). (b) LEGENDS. (i) Except for any Registrable Security sold or transferred as discussed in clause (ii) below, each Warrant Certificate (and all Warrants issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) and each certificate representing the Warrant Shares shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: "THE SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) EVIDENCED HEREBY WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SECTION 5 OF THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY AND THE SECURITIES DELIVERED UPON EXERCISE THEREOF MAY NOT BE EXERCISED, OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY AND THE SECURITIES DELIVERED UPON THE EXERCISE THEREOF IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A. THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUER THAT (A) SUCH SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES DELIVERED UPON EXERCISE HEREOF MAY BE EXERCISED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (1)(a) TO A PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (b) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (c) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON THAT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON (AS DEFINED IN RULE 902 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (d) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION 5
EX-10.8-16th Page of 20TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 6th
FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT (IN THE CASE OF (b), (c) or (d), UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL AND WRITTEN CERTIFICATION IF THE ISSUER, REGISTRAR OR TRANSFER AGENT FOR THE SECURITIES SO REQUESTS), (2) TO THE ISSUER OR (3) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND, IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER FROM IT OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY AND THE SECURITIES DELIVERED UPON EXERCISE HEREOF OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN (A) ABOVE." (ii) Upon any sale or transfer of a Registrable Security pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Rule 144(A) or pursuant to an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that no legend is required, the Holder thereof shall be permitted to exchange such Registrable Security for a Warrant that does not bear the legend set forth in clause (i) above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Registrable Security. (c) OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES OF WARRANTS. (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 4 and this SECTION 5, Warrants as required pursuant to the provisions of this SECTION 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall refuse to register any transfer of the Warrants not made in accordance with Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided, however, that if a foreign law prevents the Company from refusing to register securities transfers, the Company shall implement other reasonable measures designed to prevent transfers of the Warrants not made in accordance with Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. (ii) All Warrants issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrants shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Warrant Agreement, as the Warrants surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. (iii) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company may deem and treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary. 6
EX-10.8-17th Page of 20TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
(iv) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange. Section 6. TERMS OF WARRANTS; EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Warrant Holder shall have the right, which may be exercised at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, commencing on the date hereof and ending at 4:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas, time, on the Expiration Date, to receive from the Company the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares which the Holder may at the time be entitled to receive on exercise of such Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price then in effect for such Warrant Shares; provided, however, that no Warrant Holder shall be entitled to exercise such Holder's Warrants at any time, unless, at the time of exercise, (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to the Warrant Shares has been filed with, and declared effective by, the Commission, and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement has been issued by the Commission or (ii) the issuance of the Warrant Shares is permitted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Subject to the provisions of the following paragraph of this SECTION 6, each Warrant not exercised prior to 4:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas, time, on the Expiration Date shall become void and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease as of such time. No adjustments as to dividends will be made upon exercise of the Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised upon surrender to the Company of the certificate or certificates evidencing the Warrant to be exercised with the form of election to purchase on the reverse thereof properly completed and signed, which signature shall be guaranteed by a bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or a broker or dealer which is a member of a registered securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and upon payment to the Company of the Exercise Price as adjusted as herein provided, for each of the Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be made in cash or by certified or official bank check, payable to the order of the Company. In the alternative, each Holder may exercise its right to receive Warrant Shares (i) on a net basis, such that without the exchange of any funds, the Holder receives that number of Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of its Warrants less that number of Warrant Shares having a fair market value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price that would otherwise have been paid by the Holder for the Warrant Shares being issued, (ii) by any Holder to whom the Company is indebted, by tendering indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to the date of exercise equal to the aggregate Exercise Price that would otherwise have been paid by the Holder for the Warrant Shares being issued, or (iii) by a combination of the procedures in clauses (i) and (ii). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, "fair market value" of the Warrant Shares shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith and evidenced by a resolution thereof. The Company shall notify the Holders in writing of any such determination of fair market value. 7
EX-10.8-18th Page of 20TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
Subject to the provisions of SECTION 7 hereof, upon surrender of Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price as provided above, the Company shall promptly transfer to the Holder of such Warrant a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of Warrant Shares or other securities or property (including any money) to which the Holder is entitled, registered or otherwise placed in, or payable to the order of, such name or names as may be directed in writing by the Holder, and shall deliver such certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares and any other securities or property (including any money) to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same, together with an amount in cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in SECTION 13. Any such certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued and any Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a Holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the later of the date of the surrender of such Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price. The Warrants shall be exercisable commencing on the Issue Date, at the election of the Holders thereof, either in full or from time to time in part and, in the event that a certificate evidencing Warrants is exercised in respect of fewer than all of the Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise at any time prior to the date of expiration of the Warrants, a new certificate evidencing the remaining Warrant or Warrants will be issued and delivered pursuant to the provisions of this SECTION and of SECTION 3 hereof. All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall be canceled. Such canceled Warrant Certificates shall then be disposed of in accordance with customary procedures. Section 7. PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable to the issuance of the Warrant Certificates or the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder of a Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant. Section 8. MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANT CERTIFICATES. In case any of the Warrant Certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may in its discretion issue in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant Certificate and, if requested, indemnity reasonably satisfactory to them. Applicants for such substitute Warrant Certificates shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe. Section 9. RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, free from any preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or its authorized and issued Common Stock held in its treasury, for the purpose 8
EX-10.8-19th Page of 20TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may then be deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The transfer agent for the Common Stock (the "TRANSFER AGENT") and every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of any of the rights of purchase aforesaid will be irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be required for such purpose. The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Transfer Agent and with every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrants. The Company will supply such Transfer Agent with duly executed certificates for such purposes and will provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be payable as provided in SECTION 13. The Company will furnish such Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments and certificates related thereto, transmitted to each Holder of the Warrants pursuant to SECTION 14 hereof. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment pursuant to SECTION 11 hereof that would reduce the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the Warrant Shares, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price as so adjusted. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon exercise of Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including the payment of the Exercise Price) will, upon issue, be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, and free of preemptive rights and Liens. Section 10. OBTAINING STOCK EXCHANGE LISTINGS. The Company will from time to time take all action which may be necessary so that the Warrant Shares, immediately upon their issuance upon the exercise of Warrants, will be listed on the principal securities exchanges and markets (including, without limitation, the Nasdaq National or SmallCap Markets) within the United States of America, if any, on which other shares of Common Stock are then listed. Upon the listing of such Warrant Shares, the Company shall notify the Holders in writing. The Company will obtain and keep all required permits and records in connection with such listing. Section 11. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES ISSUABLE. The number and kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of Warrants and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time (as set forth in the notices required by SECTION 14 hereof) as follows: (a) STOCK SPLITS, COMBINATIONS, ETC. In case the Company shall hereafter (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its capital stock (whether shares of Common Stock or of capital stock of any other class), (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of 9
EX-10.8-110th Page of 20TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
Common Stock, (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the Exercise Price in effect and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of capital stock of the Company which such Holder would have owned immediately following such action had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company (whose determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a Board resolution) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between or among shares of such classes of capital stock. (b) RECLASSIFICATION, COMBINATIONS, MERGERS, ETC. In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than as set forth in PARAGRAPH (a) above and other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or other capital stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants) or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, then, as a condition of such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the Company or such a successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall forthwith make lawful and adequate provision whereby the Holder of each Warrant then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to receive on exercise of such Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and enter into a supplemental warrant agreement so providing. Such provisions shall include provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this SECTION 11. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon exercise of Warrants under the supplemental warrant agreement is an affiliate of the formed, surviving or transferee corporation, that issuer shall join in the supplemental warrant agreement. The above provisions of this PARAGRAPH (b) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. (c) ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. In the event the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, issue, sell, distribute or otherwise grant in any manner (including by assumption) any additional shares of Common Stock (other than shares pursuant to the Corporation's Stock Option Plan in any amount less than twelve percent (12%) 10
EX-10.8-111th Page of 20TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
of the fully diluted capital stock of the Company) without consideration or for a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Stock on the date of the issuance, sale, distribution or granting of such additional shares, then, effective upon such issuance or sale, (I) the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price (calculated to the nearest 1/1,000 of one cent) determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (exclusive of any treasury shares) immediately prior to such issuance or sale multiplied by the current market price per share of Common Stock on the date of such issuance or sale plus (ii) the consideration, if any, received by the Company in respect of such issuance or sale, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (A) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (exclusive of any treasury shares) immediately after such issuance or sale multiplied by (B) the current market price per share of Common Stock on the record date for such issuance or sale and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately prior to the record date for such issuance or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment required by clause (I) of this sentence and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. (d) ISSUANCE OF OPTIONS OR CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. In the event the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, issue, sell, distribute or otherwise grant in any manner (including by assumption) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any warrants or options for the purchase of, Common Stock (other than shares pursuant to the Corporation's Stock Option Plan in any amount less than twelve percent (12%) of the fully diluted capital stock of the Company) or any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (any such rights, warrants or options being herein called "OPTIONS" and any such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES") or any Convertible Securities (other than upon exercise of any Option), whether or not such Options or the rights to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and if the price per share at which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (i) the aggregate amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance, sale, distribution or granting of such Options or any such Convertible Security, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options or upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, plus, in the case of Options to acquire Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options) shall be less than the current market price per share of Common Stock on the date for the issuance, sale, distribution or granting of such Options or Convertible Securities (any such event being herein called a "DISTRIBUTION"), then, effective upon such Distribution, (I) the Exercise 11
EX-10.8-112th Page of 20TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
Price shall be reduced to the price (calculated to the nearest 1/1,000 of one cent) determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (exclusive of any treasury shares) immediately prior to such Distribution multiplied by the current market price per share of Common Stock on the date of such Distribution plus (ii) the consideration, if any, received by the Company in respect of such Distribution, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (A) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (exclusive of any treasury shares) immediately after such Distribution multiplied by (B) the current market price per share of Common Stock on the record date for such Distribution and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately prior to the record date for such Distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment required by clause (I) of this sentence and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. For purposes of the foregoing, the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all such Options or upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities or upon the conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of the Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such Distribution and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding and the Company shall be deemed to have received as consideration therefor such price per share, determined as provided above. Except as provided in PARAGRAPHS (j) AND (k) below, no additional adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities or upon the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options. (e) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. In the event the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, distribute to all the holders of Common Stock any dividend or other distribution of cash, evidences of its indebtedness, other securities or other properties or assets (in each case other than (i) dividends payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities and (ii) any cash dividend that, when added to all other cash dividends paid with respect to Common Stock in the one year prior to the declaration date of such dividend (excluding any such other dividend included in a previous adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this PARAGRAPH (e) and excluding any cash dividends or other cash distributions from current or retained earnings), does not exceed 5% of the current market price per share of Common Stock on such declaration date), or any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the foregoing, then (A) the Exercise Price shall be decreased to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the current market price per share of Common Stock on the record date for such distribution less the sum of (X) the cash portion, if any, of such distribution per share of Common Stock outstanding (exclusive of any treasury shares) on the record date for such distribution plus (Y) the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) per share of Common Stock outstanding (exclusive of any treasury shares) on the record date for such distribution of that portion, if any, of such distribution consisting of evidences of indebtedness, 12
EX-10.8-113th Page of 20TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
other securities, properties, assets, options, warrants or subscription or purchase rights, and the denominator of which shall be such current market price per share of Common Stock and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately prior to the record date for such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment required by clause (A) of this sentence and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. The adjustments required by this PARAGRAPH (e) shall be made whenever any such distribution occurs retroactive to the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. (f) CURRENT MARKET PRICE. For the purpose of any computation of current market price under this SECTION 11 and SECTION 13, the current market price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be (x) for purposes of SECTION 13, the closing price on the business day immediately prior to the exercise of the applicable Warrant pursuant to SECTION 6 and (y) in all other cases, the daily closing price the last full trading day on the exchange or market specified in the second succeeding sentence prior to the Time of Determination (as defined below). The term "TIME OF DETERMINATION" as used herein shall be the time and date of the earlier to occur of (A) the date as of which the current market price is to be computed and (B) the last full trading day on such exchange or market before the commencement of "ex-dividend" trading in the Common Stock relating to the event giving rise to the adjustment required by PARAGRAPH (a), (b), (c), (d) OR (e) above. The closing price for any day shall be the last reported sale price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way for such day, in each case (1) on the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or to which such shares are admitted to trading or (2) if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange, in the over-the-counter market as reported by Nasdaq National or SmallCap Markets or any comparable system or (3) if the Common Stock is not listed on Nasdaq National or SmallCap Markets or a comparable system but a public market for the Common Stock exists, as furnished by two members of the NASD selected from time to time in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company for that purpose. In the absence of all of the foregoing, or if for any other reason the current market price per share cannot be determined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this PARAGRAPH (f), the current market price per share shall be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and evidenced by a resolution of such Board, subject to the following dispute resolution right of the Holders of the Warrants. In the event that Holders of a majority of the Warrants dispute the determination of the Board of Directors, such Holders shall notify the Company and the current market price shall be determined in a reasonably prompt manner as follows: (1) The Company and Holders of a majority of the Warrants shall each appoint an independent, experienced appraiser who is a member of a recognized professional association of business appraisers. The two appraisers shall determine the value of shares of Common Stock at the relevant date, assuming a sale between a willing buyer and a 13
EX-10.8-114th Page of 20TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 14th
willing seller, both of whom have full knowledge of the financial and other affairs of the Company, and neither of whom is under any compulsion to sell or to buy. (2) If the higher of the two appraisals is not more than 20% more than the lower of the appraisals, the current market price per share shall be the average of the two appraisals. If the higher of the two appraisals is 20% or more than the lower of the two appraisals, then a third appraiser shall be appointed by the two appraisers, and if they cannot agree on a third appraiser, the American Arbitration Association shall appoint the third appraiser. The third appraiser, regardless of who appoints him or her, shall have the same qualifications as the first two appraisers. (3) The current market price per share after the appointment of the third appraiser shall be the average of the two appraisals that are closest in value to each other. (4) The fees and expenses of the appraisers shall be paid one-half by the Company and one-half by the Holders. (g) CERTAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company shall pay a dividend or make any other distribution payable in Options or Convertible Securities, then, for purposes of PARAGRAPH (d) above, such Options or Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been initially issued or sold on such date without consideration. (h) CONSIDERATION RECEIVED. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued, sold or distributed for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company in respect thereof shall be deemed to be the then fair market value of such consideration (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and evidenced by a Board resolution). If any Options shall be issued in connection with the issuance and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration; provided, however, that if such Options have an exercise price equal to or greater than the current market price of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such Options, then such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to such exercise price. (i) DEFERRAL OF CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS. No adjustment to the Exercise Price (including the related adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant) shall be required hereunder unless such adjustment, together with other adjustments carried forward as provided below, would result in an increase or decrease of at least one percent of the Exercise Price; provided that any adjustments which by reason of this PARAGRAPH (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value of the Common Stock. All calculations under this SECTION shall be made to the nearest 1/1,000 of one cent or to the nearest 1/1000 of a share, as the case may be. 14
EX-10.8-115th Page of 20TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 15th
(j) CHANGES IN OPTIONS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. If the exercise price provided for in any Options referred to in PARAGRAPH (d) above, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in PARAGRAPH (d) OR (e) above, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in PARAGRAPH (d) OR (e) above are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution upon an event which results in a related adjustment pursuant to this SECTION 11), the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall forthwith be readjusted (effective only with respect to any exercise of any Warrant after such readjustment) to the Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable that would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance, sale, distribution or granting of such Options or Convertible Securities been made based upon such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, but only with respect to such Options and Convertible Securities as then remain outstanding. (k) EXPIRATION OF OPTIONS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. If, at any time after any adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall have been made pursuant to PARAGRAPH (d), (e) OR (j) above or this PARAGRAPH (k), any Options or Convertible Securities shall have expired unexercised, the number of such shares so purchasable shall, upon such expiration, be readjusted and shall thereafter be such as they would have been had they been originally adjusted (or had the original adjustment not been required, as the case may be) as if (i) the only shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued in connection with such Options or Convertible Securities were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options or Convertible Securities and (ii) such shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise plus the aggregate consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the issuance, sale, distribution or granting of all such Options or Convertible Securities, whether or not exercised; provided that no such readjustment shall have the effect of decreasing the number of such shares so purchasable by an amount (calculated by adjusting such decrease to account for all other adjustments made pursuant to this SECTION 11 following the date of the original adjustment referred to above) in excess of the amount of the adjustment initially made in respect of the issuance, sale, distribution or granting of such Options or Convertible Securities. (l) OTHER ADJUSTMENTS. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this SECTION 11, the Holders shall become entitled to receive any securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other securities so receivable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Exercise Price applicable to such exercise 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 shares of Common Stock contained in this SECTION 11. 15
EX-10.8-116th Page of 20TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
Section 12. STATEMENT ON WARRANTS. Irrespective of any adjustment in the number or kind of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants or the Exercise Price, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same number and kind of shares as are stated in the Warrants initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement. Section 13. FRACTIONAL INTEREST. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock on the exercise of Warrants. If more than one Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock acquirable on exercise of the Warrants so presented. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this SECTION, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant (or specified portion thereof), the Company shall direct the Transfer Agent to pay an amount in cash calculated by it equal to (i) the then current market price per share multiplied by such fraction computed to the nearest whole cent, less (ii) an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction computed to the nearest whole cent. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Warrant Certificates, expressly waive any and all rights to receive any fraction of a share of Common Stock or a stock certificate representing a fraction of a share of Common Stock. Section 14. NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to SECTION 11, the Company shall promptly thereafter cause to be given to each of the registered Holders by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a certificate executed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculations are based and setting forth the number of Warrant Shares (or portion thereof) issuable after such adjustment in the Exercise Price, upon exercise of a Warrant and payment of the adjusted Exercise Price, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the correctness of the matters set forth therein. In case: (a) the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of shares of Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or of any other subscription rights or warrants; or (b) the Company shall authorize the distribution to all holders of shares of Common Stock of evidences of its indebtedness or assets (other than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus or dividends payable in shares of Common Stock or distributions referred to in SECTION 11 hereof); or (c) of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required and following which the shareholders of the Company before such consolidation or merger no longer hold at least 16
EX-10.8-117th Page of 20TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 17th
50% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company following the merger or consolidation, or of the conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, or of any reclassification or change of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, or other transaction that would result in a change in control; or (d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or (e) the Company proposes to take any other action that would require an adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares pursuant to SECTION 11; then the Company shall cause to be given to each of the registered Holders of the Warrants at such Holder's address appearing on the Warrant register, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in clauses (a) or (b) above) prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, or promptly in the case of events for which there is no record date, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a written notice stating (i) the date as of which the holders of record of shares of Common Stock to be entitled to receive any such rights, options, warrants or distribution are to be determined, or (ii) the initial expiration date set forth in any tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, or (iii) the date on which any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up or change of control is expected to become effective or consummated, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange such shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up or change of control. The failure to give the notice required by this SECTION 14 or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, option, warrant, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or change of control or the vote upon any action. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any of the Warrant Certificates shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders thereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as shareholders in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the election of Directors of the Company or any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as shareholders of the Company. Section 15. REGISTRATION. The Company acknowledge that Holders of Warrants shall have the registration rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. Section 16. REPORTS. For each fiscal quarter and each fiscal year of the Company, the Company will transmit by mail to all Warrant Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the register, without cost to such Warrant Holders, unaudited quarterly and audited annual financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Section 17. RULE 144A. The Company hereby agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding and the Company is not subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, to any Holder or beneficial owner of Registrable Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Registrable Securities designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144A. Section 18. NOTICES TO COMPANY.

on the interests of Holders shall require the written consent of Holders representing a majority of the then outstanding Warrants (excluding Warrants held by the Company or any of its Affiliates); provided, however, that the consent of each Holder of a Warrant affected shall be required for any amendment pursuant to which the Exercise Price would be increased or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of Warrants would be decreased (other than pursuant to adjustments provided for in SECTION 11 hereof). Belo shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon an officer's certificate and opinion of counsel as conclusive evidence that any such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted hereunder, that it does or does not, as the case may be, require the written consent of Holders to be effective hereunder, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Company in accordance with its terms. Section 20. SUCCESSORS. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company shall bind and inure to the benefit of its respective successors and assigns hereunder.
