such reduction is made as to all outstanding Warrants for all
Holders of such Warrants. Capitalized terms used and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that
certain Subscription Agreement (the “ Subscription
Agreement ”), dated as of December 31, 2008, entered into
by the Company and the Holder.
As used herein the following terms, unless the
context otherwise requires, have the following respective
meanings:

date of the Subscription Agreement, and (ii) any other securities
into which or for which any of the securities described in

recapitalization, reorganization, merger, sale of assets or

(c) The
term “Other Securities” refers to any stock (other than
Common Stock) and other securities of the Company or any other
person (corporate or otherwise) which the holder of the Warrant at
any time shall be entitled to receive, or shall have received, on
the exercise of the Warrant, in lieu of or in addition to Common
Stock, or which at any time shall be issuable or shall have been
issued in exchange for or in replacement of Common Stock or Other
Securities pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise.
(d) The
term “Warrant Shares” shall mean the Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
1.1.
Number of Shares Issuable upon Exercise . From
and after the Issue Date through and including the Expiration Date,
the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of
this Warrant in whole in accordance with the terms of
subsection 1.2 or upon exercise of this Warrant in part in
accordance with subsection 1.3, shares of Common Stock of the
Company, subject to adjustment pursuant to
Section 4.
1.2.
Full Exercise . This Warrant may be exercised in
full by the Holder hereof by delivery of an original or facsimile
copy of the form of subscription attached as Exhibit A hereto
(the “Subscription Form”) duly executed by such Holder
and delivery within two days thereafter of payment, in cash, wire
transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the
order of the Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is then
exercisable by the Purchase Price then in effect. The
original Warrant is not required to be surrendered to the Company
until it has been fully exercised.
1.3.
Partial Exercise . This Warrant may be exercised
in part (but not for a fractional share) by delivery of a
Subscription Form in the manner and at the place provided in
subsection 1.2 except that the amount payable by the Holder on
such partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by multiplying
(a) the number of whole shares of Common Stock designated by
the Holder in the Subscription Form by (b) the Purchase Price
then in effect. On any such partial exercise provided
the Holder has surrendered the original Warrant, the Company, at
its expense, will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order
of the Holder hereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of
the Holder hereof or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of
any applicable transfer taxes) may request, the whole number of
shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant may still be
exercised.
1.4.
Fair Market Value . Fair Market Value of a share of Common
Stock as of a particular date (the "Determination Date") shall
mean:
(a) If
the Company's Common Stock is traded on an exchange or is quoted on
the NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ
Capital Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock
Exchange, LLC, then the average of the closing sale prices of the
Common Stock for the five (5) Trading Days immediately prior to
(but not including) the Determination Date;
(b) If
the Company's Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or on the
NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ
Capital Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock
Exchange, Inc., but is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the
over-the-counter market, then the average of the closing bid and
ask prices reported for the five (5) Trading Days immediately prior
to (but not including) the Determination Date;
(c) Except
as provided in clause (d) below and Section 3.1, if the
Company's Common Stock is not publicly traded, then as the Holder
and the Company agree, or in the absence of such an agreement, by
arbitration in accordance with the rules then standing of the
American Arbitration Association, before a single arbitrator to be
chosen from a panel of persons qualified by education and training
to pass on the matter to be decided; or
(d) If
the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, or any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up pursuant to the Company's charter, then all amounts to
be payable per share to holders of the Common Stock pursuant to the
charter in the event of such liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, plus all other amounts to be payable per share in respect of
the Common Stock in liquidation under the charter, assuming for the
purposes of this clause (d) that all of the shares of Common
Stock then issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants are
outstanding at the Determination Date.
1.5.
Company Acknowledgment . The Company will, at the time of
the exercise of the Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof,
acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such
Holder any rights to which such Holder shall continue to be
entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of
this Warrant. If the Holder shall fail to make any such request,
such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the
Company to afford to such Holder any such rights.
1.6.
Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise . The
Company agrees that, provided the full purchase price listed in the
Subscription Form is received as specified in Section 1.2, the
shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record
owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on
which delivery of a Subscription Form shall have occurred and
payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as practicable
after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any
event within three (3) business days thereafter (“Warrant
Share Delivery Date”), the Company at its expense (including
the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be
issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as
such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer
taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a
certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such
exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such
Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share of
Common Stock, together with any other stock or other securities and
property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is
entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or
otherwise. The Company understands that a delay in the
delivery of the Warrant Shares after the Warrant Share Delivery
Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As
compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay
(as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder for late
issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant the
proportionate amount of $100 per business day after the Warrant
Share Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Purchase Price of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant is exercised which are not timely
delivered. The Company shall pay any payments incurred
under this Section in immediately available funds upon
demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies
which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company
fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Warrant Shares by
the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder may revoke all or part
of the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such
effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall
each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to
the exercise of the relevant portion of this Warrant, except that
the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the
date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the
Company.
1.7.
Buy-In . In addition to any other rights
available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to a
Holder the Warrant Shares as required pursuant to this Warrant,
within seven (7) business days after the Warrant Share Delivery
Date and the Holder or a broker on the Holder’s behalf,
purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of
common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of
the Warrant Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive from
the Company (a " Buy-In "), then the Company shall pay in
cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies available to or
elected by the Holder) the amount by which (A) the Holder's total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate
Purchase Price of the Warrant Shares required to have been
delivered together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per
annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon
is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty). For example, if a Holder
purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of
$11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of Purchase Price
of Warrant Shares to have been received upon exercise of this
Warrant, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000,
plus interest. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In.
(a) If
a registration statement (as described in Section 11 of the
Subscription Agreement) is effective and the Holder may sell its
shares of Common Stock upon exercise hereof pursuant to the
Registration Statement, then this Warrant may be exercisable in
whole or in part for cash only as set forth in Section 1
above. If no such registration statement is available,
then payment upon exercise may be made at the option of the Holder
either in (i) cash, wire transfer or by certified or official
bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the
applicable aggregate Purchase Price, (ii) by delivery of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with
Section (b) below or (iii) by a combination of any
of the foregoing methods, for the number of shares of Common Stock
specified in such form (as such exercise number shall be adjusted
to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common
Stock issuable to the holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the
holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly
authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided
herein.
(b) Subject
to the provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value
of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Purchase Price (at
the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising
this Warrant for cash, the holder may elect to receive shares equal
to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion
thereof being cancelled) by delivery of a properly endorsed
Subscription Form delivered to the Company by any means described
in Section 13, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder
a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following
formula:
|
Where
|
X=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
holder
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a
portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the
Warrant being exercised (at the date of such
calculation)
|
|
|
|
Purchase Price
(as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
|
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the
1933 Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the
Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction in the
manner described above shall be deemed to have been acquired by the
Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be
deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally
issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.

etc.
