2.1 Cash Exercise

Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the

designate by notice in writing to the Holder):
(a) An executed Notice of Exercise in the form
attached hereto;
(b) Payment of the Exercise Price either (i) in
cash or by check, or (ii) by cancellation of indebtedness;
and
(c) This Warrant.
Upon the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the
Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder
or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates,
shall be issued and delivered to the Holder within a reasonable
time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been
so exercised; and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant
representing the number of shares of Common Stock (except a
remaining fractional share), if any, with respect to which this
Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to
the Holder hereof within such time.
The person in whose name any
certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the
holder of record of such Exercise Shares on the date on which this
Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made,
irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or
certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and
payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are
closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of
such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on
which the stock transfer books are open.
2.2 Net Exercise
. In lieu of exercising this Warrant
pursuant to Section 2.1, unless a registration statement under
the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Exercise Shares
and the Initial Shares is in effect by the date that is one hundred
and fifty (150) days following the Closing pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement and such registration statement
remains in effect throughout the Effectiveness Period (as defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Holder may elect to
receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this
Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of
this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with
the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Company
shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock
computed using the following formula:
|
|
|
|
|
Where X =
|
|
the number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder
|
|
|
|
|
Y =
|
|
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)
|
|
|
|
|
A =
|
|
the fair market
value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date
of such calculation)
|
|
|
|
|
B =
|
|
Exercise Price
(as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
|
-2-
For purposes of the above
calculation, the fair market value of one share of Common Stock
shall, if the Common Stock is listed on any established stock
exchange or traded on the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq
Capital Market, be the closing sales price for such stock (or the
closing bid, if no sales were reported) as quoted on such exchange
or market (or the exchange or market with the greatest volume of
trading in the Common Stock) on the date of exercise, as reported
in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Board
of Directors of the Company deems reliable. In the absence of such
markets for the Common Stock, the fair market value shall be
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good
faith.
3. A DJUSTMENT OF E XERCISE P RICE AND N UMBER OF E XERCISE S HARES .
3.1 Stock Dividends and
Splits . If the Company,
at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (A) pays a
stock dividend or otherwise makes 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 pursuant to 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 (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding
before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event, and the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
adjusted to a number determined by dividing the number of shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
record date by the above fraction. Any adjustment made pursuant to
this Section 3.1 shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or re-classification.
3.2 Cash Dividends and Pro Rata
Distributions . In the
event that at any time or from time to time the Company shall
distribute to all holders of Common Stock (i) any dividend or
other distribution of cash, evidences of its indebtedness, shares
of its capital stock or any other properties or securities or
(ii) any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or
purchase any of the foregoing (other than in each case,
(w) the issuance of any rights under a shareholder rights
plan, (x) any dividend or distribution described in
Section 3.1, (y) any rights, options, warrants or
securities described in Section 3.3 and (z) any cash
dividends or other cash distributions from current or retained
earnings), then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to a number
determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the
record date for any such dividend or distribution by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be such Current Market Value (as
hereinafter defined) per share of Common Stock on the record date
for such dividend or distribution, and the denominator of which
shall be such Current Market Value per share of Common Stock on the
record date for such dividend or distribution less the sum of
(x) the amount of cash, if any, distributed per
-3-
share of Common Stock and
(y) the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board
of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be evidenced
by a board resolution, a copy of which will be sent to the Holders
upon request) of the portion, if any, of the distribution
applicable to one share of Common Stock consisting of evidences of
indebtedness, shares of stock, securities, other property,
warrants, options or subscription or purchase rights; and the
Exercise Price shall be adjusted to a number determined by dividing
the Exercise Price immediately prior to such record date by the
above fraction. Such adjustments shall be made whenever any
distribution is made and shall become effective as of the date of
distribution, retroactive to the record date for any such
distribution. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this
Section 3.2 which shall have the effect of decreasing the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant or increasing the Exercise Price.
“ Current Market Value
” per share of Common Stock or any other security at any date
means (i) if the security is not registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “
Exchange Act ”), and/or traded on a national
securities exchange, quotation system or bulletin board,
(a) the value of the security, determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company and certified in a board
resolution, based on the most recently completed arm’s-length
transaction between the Company and a Person other than an
affiliate of the Company or between any two such Persons and the
closing of which occurs on such date or shall have occurred within
the six-month period preceding such date, or (b) if no such
transaction shall have occurred within the six-month period, the
value of the security as determined by an independent financial
expert or an agreed upon financial valuation model or (ii) if
the security is registered under the Exchange Act and/or traded on
a national securities exchange, quotation system or bulletin board,
the average of the daily closing bid prices (or the equivalent in
an over-the-counter market) for each day on which the Common Stock
is traded for any period on the principal securities exchange or
other securities market on which the common Stock is being traded
(each, a “ Trading Day ”) during the period
commencing thirty (30) days before such date and ending on the
date one day prior to such date.
3.3 Reorganization,
Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale
. If any recapitalization,
reclassification or reorganization of the share capital of the
Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its shares
and/or assets or other transaction (including, without limitation,
a sale of substantially all of its assets followed by a
liquidation) shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common
Stock shall be entitled to receive shares, securities or other
assets or property (a “ Change ”), then, as a
condition of such Change, lawful and adequate provisions shall be
made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have
the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the Common Stock of
the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon
the exercise of the rights represented hereby) such shares,
securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable
with respect to or in exchange for the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock which such Holder would have been entitled to
receive had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to
the consummation of such Change. The Company or its successor shall
promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or
other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which
shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to give effect
to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3 including,
without limitation, adjustments to the Exercise Price and to the
number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new
Warrant. The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall similarly
apply to successive Changes.

1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued

agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise
Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights,

the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any
time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit
exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate
action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to
increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such
number of shares as shall be sufficient for such
purposes.
4.2 No Impairment
. Except and to the extent as waived
or consented to by the Holder, the Company will not, by amendment
of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all

provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise
rights of the Holder against impairment.
