payable quarterly in advance during the term of the agreement, (2) a
warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of our Common Stock at a price of
$16.00 per share at any time from the effective date of the agreement
until one year after the date of this Prospectus, (3) a warrant to
purchase an additional 125,000 shares of our Common Stock at a price
of $16.00 per share, if CHST does not terminate the agreement on or
before November 1, 2000, which would expire one year after the shares
underlying those warrants were registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission if the warrants are granted, and (4) a
warrant to purchase an additional 50,000 shares of our Common Stock at a
price of $11.00 per share, which may be exercised on a cash basis or on
a "cashless" conversion basis at any time from the effective date of the
agreement until one year after the date of this Prospectus. Any
proceeds from the subsequent sale of shares of our Common Stock issued
to CCEC pursuant to the exercise of the $11.00 Warrants are to be
utilized to pay the costs of any ancillary public relations services
conducted by CCEC on behalf of CHST under the agreement, and CHST must
approve all such expenses in advance. CHST also has a right of first
refusal to purchase any shares issued to CCEC pursuant to the exercise
of the $11.00 or $16.00 Warrants granted to CCEC under the agreement
before CCEC sells them to any third party. CHST is obligated to
reimburse CCEC for costs and expenses incurred by it in the performance
of its duties for CHST under the agreement. CHST has the right to
terminate the agreement upon 15 days prior written notice to CCEC
delivered at any time on or after 165 days after the effective date of
the agreement. The agreement otherwise expires on May 1, 2001. If CHST
elects early termination on or before November 1, 2000, then it is not
obligated to issue the additional 125,000 warrants to CCEC. |
