similar successor organization. If at any time such security is not
listed on any securities exchange or quoted on the OTCBB or the
over-the-counter market, the “Fair Market Value” shall
be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good
faith, absent manifest error.
(c)
Cashless Exercise . If at any time six months after the date
of the issuance of this Warrant there is no effective registration
statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the
resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may
also be exercised only at such time by means of a “cashless
exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive,
without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration,
a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the number
as is computed using the following formula:
-12-
X = the number
of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this
Warrant.
Y = the number
of Warrant Shares covered by this Warrant with respect to which the
cashless exercise election is made pursuant to this
Section 1(c).
A = the Fair
Market Value (as defined above) of one Warrant Share.
B = the
Exercise Price in effect at the time the cashless exercise election
is made pursuant to this Section 1(c).
(d) Upon the
exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and cause
promptly to be delivered upon such exercise to, or upon the written
order of, the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number
of full Warrant Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled,
together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a Warrant Share
otherwise issuable upon such exercise.
(e) If this
Warrant is exercised in respect of less than all of the Warrant
Shares evidenced by this Warrant at any time prior to the end of
the Exercise Period, a new Warrant evidencing the remaining Warrant
Shares shall be issued to the Holder, or its nominee(s), without
charge therefor.
2 .
The Exercise Price for the Warrants in effect from time to time
shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding:
(i) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
larger number of shares, (ii) combines (including by way of
reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, or (iii) issues by reclassification
of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the
Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding
immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock out
