(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, upon consummation of the Recapitalization Merger (or, if earlier, the date, if any, on which the Company’s certificate of incorporation is amended to provide for sufficient authorized shares to permit this Warrant to be exercised), this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised, without any action on the part of the Holder or the Company, and without the need to pay any exercise price..

 

(b) The Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, issue or cause to be issued and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, as hereinafter provided against delivery of this warrant to the Company at its principal office. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as such Holder shall request in a separate notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to Section 8, such other name as shall be designated in the notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates 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 effective date of the Recapitalization Merger.

 

(c) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Stock.

 

(d)   The Warrant shares are fully earned upon issuance of this Warrant. Should the Recapitalization Merger not occur on or before March 1, 2006, the Company shall use its best efforts to take all action necessary to cause this Warrant automatically to be exercised as promptly as practicable. .

 

2.2.   Payment of Taxes . All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and without any preemptive rights. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issue or delivery thereof, unless such tax or charge is imposed by law upon the Holder or based on or measured by the income of the holder, in which case such taxes or charges shall be paid by the Holder. The Holder or its transferee shall pay any transfer tax due and payable in respect of a transfer of this Warrant or the Warrant Stock to a party other than the Holder.

 

2.4.   Continued Validity . A holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part (other than a holder who acquires such shares after the same have been publicly sold pursuant to a Registration Statement under the Securities Act or sold pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder), shall continue to be entitled to all rights, and subject to

all obligations, to which it would have been entitled or obligated, as applicable, as the Holder under Sections 8, 9 and 10 of this Warrant. The Company will, at the time of each exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, upon the request of the holder of the shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise hereof, acknowledge in writing, in form reasonably satisfactory to such holder, its continuing obligation to afford to such holder all such rights; provided , however , that if such holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to such holder all such rights.

 

2.5   Limitation on Exercise . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 4.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of a notice of exercise under Section 2.1 will constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in such notice of exercise is permitted under this paragraph. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may waive the provisions of this Section but (i) any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants.
