Section 2.
Exercise .
(a)
Exercise of Warrant . Exercise of the purchase
rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in
part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date
and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of
a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise annexed
hereto (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 the Holder appearing on the books of the Company); and,
within 3 Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is
delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by
wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States
bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this
Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the
Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been
exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this
Warrant to the Company for cancellation within 3 Trading Days of
the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the
Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in
purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares
available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the
outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an
amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares
purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain
records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date
of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any
objection to any Notice of Exercise within 1 business day of
receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute or
discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and
determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and any
assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree
that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the
purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number
of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given
time may be less than the amount stated on the face
hereof.
1 Six
months following the issue date.
(b)
Exercise Price . The exercise price per share of
the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.02 per share,
subject to adjustment hereunder (the “ Exercise Price
”).
(c)
Cashless Exercise . If at any time after 6 months
from the Issue Date, 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 at such time 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:
|
|
|
the Daily VWAP
(as defined in the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes
issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as the same may be
amended from time to time (the “ Notes ”)) on
the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such
election;
|
|
|
|
the Exercise
Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
|
|
|
|
the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather
than a cashless exercise.

(d)
Exercise Limitations .
(i)
Holder’s Restrictions . The Company shall
not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not
have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to
Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to
such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice
of Exercise, such Holder (together with such Holder’s
Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group
together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s
Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the
foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but
shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be
issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion
of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its
Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents)
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the
limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Holder or
any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(c)(i), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is
not representing to such Holder that such calculation is in
compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and such Holder
is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in
accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation
contained in this Section 2(d)(i) applies, the determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and
of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the
sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of
Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and
of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case
subject the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall
have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such
determination. In addition, a determination as to any
group status as contemplated above shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this
Section 2(d)(i), in determining the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, or such similar form, as the case may be, or
(y) any other notice provided by the Company or the
Company’s Transfer Agent at least 30 days prior to the date
of the submission of the Notice of Exercis setting forth the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or
oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days
confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares
of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving
effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including this Warrant, by such Holder or its Affiliates since the
date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership
Limitation ” shall be 4.999% of the number of shares of
the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the
issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph shall be
construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict
conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d)(i) to correct this
paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or
inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation
herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or
desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The
limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor
holder of this Warrant.
(e)
Mechanics of Exercise .
(i)
Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise
. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be
transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by
crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the
Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission (“ DWAC ”) system if the Company is a
participant in such system and there is an effective Registration
Statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares by the
Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified
by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within three (3) Trading
Days from the receipt by the Company of the Notice of Exercise,
surrender of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price as set forth above (“ Warrant Share Delivery
Date ”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have
been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is received by the
Company, if such date is after Notice of Exercise and this Warrant
are received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be
deemed to have been issued, and the 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 (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all
taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to
Section 2(e)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, have been
paid.
(ii)
Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise . If this
Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at
the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant
certificate, 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.
(iii)
Rescission Rights . If the Company fails to cause
its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to this
Section 2(e)(iii) by the second Trading Day immediately following
the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the
right to rescind such exercise.
(iv)
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver
Certificates Upon Exercise . In addition to any
other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause
its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an
exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after
such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s
brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to
deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant
Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
“ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (1) pay in
cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained
by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company
was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the
exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order
giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at
the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the
Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such
exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of
shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company
timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations
hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In
with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock
with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase
obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of
such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s
right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at
law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the
Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required
pursuant to the terms hereof.
(v)
No Fractional Shares or Scrip . No fractional
shares or scrip representing 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 at its election, either pay a cash
adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to
such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the
next whole share.
(vi)
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.
(f)
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.
Section 3.
Certain Adjustments .
(a)
Stock Dividends and Splits . If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (A) pays a
stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on
shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent
securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance
of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by
the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (B) subdivides
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares,
(C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D)
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 (
