copy of the form of subscription attached as Exhibit A
hereto (the “ Subscription Form ”) duly executed

any applicable transfer taxes) may request, the whole number of

exercised for the balance of.
1.4.
Fair Market Value . Fair Market Value of a share of Common
Stock as of a particular date (the “ Determination

the Company’s Common Stock is not listed on a national
securities exchange, but is quoted in the over-the-counter market

(c) Except

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 certificate of

such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the
Company to afford to such Holder any such rights.

Trustee for Warrant Holders . In the event that a bank or
trust company shall have been appointed as trustee for the Holder
of the Warrants pursuant to Subsection 3.2, such bank or trust
company shall have all the powers and duties of a warrant agent (as
hereinafter described) and shall accept, in its own name for the
account of the Company or such successor person as may be entitled
thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such
successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant
to this Section 1.
1.7.
Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise . The
Company agrees that 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 whole or
in part, 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.
(a) Payment
upon exercise may be made at the option of the Holder either (i) in
cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable
to the order of the Company equal to the applicable aggregate
Exercise 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 Exercise 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 of
Common Stock equal to the value (as determined below) of this
Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled) by surrender of
this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with
the properly endorsed Subscription Form, in which event the Company
shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock
computed using the following formula:
|
|
|
|
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)
|
|
|
|
the Fair Market
Value of the Common Stock (determined as of the trading day
immediately prior to, but not including, the Exercise
Date)
|
|
|
|
Exercise Price
(as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
|
(c) The
Holder may employ the cashless exercise feature described in
Section (b) above at any time.
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, it is intended, understood and
acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise
transaction 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
