1.
Title to Warrant . Prior to the Termination Date and subject
to compliance with applicable laws and Section 7 of this Warrant,
this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or
in part, at the office or agency of the Company by the Holder in
person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this
Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto properly
endorsed. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
2.
Authorization of Shares . The Company covenants that all
Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of
the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free
from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring
contemporaneously with such issue).
3.
Exercise of Warrant .
(a)
Except as provided in Section 4 herein, exercise of the purchase
rights represented by this Warrant may be made at any time or times
on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the
Termination Date by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of
Exercise Form annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the
Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the
address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company) and
upon payment of the Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased
by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States
bank or by means of a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 3(c),
the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the
number of Warrant Shares so purchased. Certificates for Warrant
Shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder within
three (3) trading days after the date on which this Warrant shall
have been exercised as aforesaid. This Warrant shall be deemed to
have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be
deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so
designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a
holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date
the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the
Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if
any, pursuant to Section 5 prior to the issuance of such shares,
have been paid. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a
certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares
pursuant to this Section 3(a) by the third trading day after the
date of exercise, then the Holder will have the right to rescind
such exercise.
(b)
If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant
Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all
other respects be identical with this Warrant.
(c)
If at any time after one year from the date of issuance of this
Warrant there is no effective registration statement registering
the resale of the Warrant Shares by
2
the Holder, this
Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time
prior to the Termination Date, by means of a “cashless
exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a
certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = the closing bid price on the
trading day preceding the date of such election;
(B) = the Exercise Price of
the Warrants, as adjusted; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms
of this Warrant.
In addition to the Warrant Shares
issuable upon any such cashless exercise, the Company shall also
issue the Holder Series B Warrants to purchase that number of
shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable if this
Warrant had been exercised for cash.
4.
No Fractional Shares . No fractional shares shall be issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share
which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such
exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of
such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Exercise Price.
5.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of certificates for
Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any
issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the
issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall
be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in
the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed
by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event
certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other
than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for
exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached
hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may require, as
a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse
it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
6.
Closing of Books . The Company will not close its
stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the
timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms
hereof.
7.
Transfer, Division and Combination .

conditions set forth in Sections 1 and 7(e) hereof, this Warrant

Company, together with a written assignment of this Warrant
substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the
Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such
surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute

or assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in
such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the
assignor
3

presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,

combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or
combined in accordance with such notice.
(c)

(other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this
Section 7.

the registration and the registration of transfer of the
Warrants.

with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant
shall not be registered pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the
Securities Act and under
applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the
Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish
to the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be
in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in
comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be
made without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee
execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and
substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee
be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)
promulgated under the Securities Act .
8.
No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise . This Warrant does
not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a
shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the
surrender of this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price (or by means of a cashless exercise), the Warrant Shares so
purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the
record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the
later of the date of such surrender or payment.
9.
Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant . The
Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the
Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of
indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the
case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond),
and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock
certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new
Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock
certificate.

or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of its
outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares
of Common Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a
reclassification of the Common Stock, then the number of Warrant
