(c) Except

(D) 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

(E) The
term “ Warrant Shares ” shall mean the Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
1.
Exercise of 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
Section 1.2 or upon exercise of this Warrant in part in
accordance with Section 1.3 , shares of Common Stock of
the Company, subject to adjustment pursuant to
Section 4 below and Section 12(b) of the
Subscription Agreement.
1.2.
Full Exercise . This Warrant may be exercised in
full by the Holder hereof by delivery to the Company 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
Section 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.
Automatic Exercise . In the event this
Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the provisions of Section 2
hereof on a cashless basis as of the close of the last trading day
on or before the Expiration Date, then this Warrant, to the extent
not previously unexercised and subject to the limitation in Section
10 of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been automatically
exercised without the requirement of any notice or delivery of the
Subscription Form, pursuant to the terms of Section
2. Such Expiration Date will be deemed the exercise date
for purposes of determining the Warrant Share Delivery Date and
similar terms hereof.
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 five (5) 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
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.
1.8.
Additional Warrant . In addition to Warrant
Shares, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company will deliver to
the Holder, one additional common stock purchase warrant (“
Special Warrant ”) for each Warrant Share required to
be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant. The terms of
the Special Warrant are described in the Subscription Agreement and
form of Special Warrant. The delivery date of such
Special Warrants shall be deemed the “Issue Date” of
such Special Warrants. In the event of a cashless
exercise pursuant to Section 2 below, the number of Special
Warrants to be delivered upon exercise shall be determined based
upon the number of Warrant Shares which would be deliverable had
such exercise been on a “cash” basis. The
Special Warrants must be delivered not later than five business
days after the exercise date of this Warrant. Failure to
timely deliver the Special Warrants is a material default of the
Company’s obligations.
2.
Cashless Exercise .
(a) 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 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. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding
sentence, payment upon exercise may be made in the manner described
in Section 2(b) below commencing ninety-one (91) days after the
Issue Date, only with respect to Warrant Shares not included
for unrestricted public resale in an effective Registration
Statement on the date notice of exercise is given by the
Holder.
(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:
X= Y
(A-B)
A
|
|
|
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.

Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger,
etc.

Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any
merger or consolidation of the Company wi
