2.
Corporation’s
Representations/Covenants . The
Corporation represents and covenants that the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and upon payment
therefor shall at delivery be fully paid and non-assessable and
free from taxes, liens, encumbrances and charges with respect to
their purchase. The Corporation shall take any necessary actions to
assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all
times equal to or less than the then current Exercise Price per
share of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant. The
Corporation shall at all times until the issuance of the shares
upon exercise hereof reserve and hold available sufficient shares
of Common Stock to satisfy all conversion and purchase rights of
outstanding convertible securities, options and warrants of the
Corporation, including this Warrant.
3.
Method of Exercise; Fractional Shares
. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this
Warrant is exercisable at the option of the Holder after December
14, 2007 by surrendering this Warrant, on any business day during
the period (the “Exercise Period”) beginning on the
issue date of this Warrant specified above and ending at 5:00 p.m.
(New York time) eight (8) years after the original issue date of
this Warrant. To exercise this Warrant, the Holder shall surrender
this Warrant at the principal office of the Corporation or that of
the duly authorized and acting transfer agent for its Common Stock,
together with the executed exercise form (substantially in the form
of that attached hereto) and together with payment for the Common
Stock purchased under this Warrant. The principal office of the
Corporation is located at the address specified on the signature
page of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Corporation
may
1
change its principal office upon notice to the
Holder. Except as specified below under paragraph 4, at the option
of the Holder payment shall be made either by certified or official
bank check payable to the order of the Corporation or by wire
transfer. Upon the partial exercise of this Warrant, the
Corporation shall issue to the Holder a new Warrant of the same
tenor and date, and for the balance of the number of shares of
Common Stock not purchased upon such partial exercise and any
previous exercises. This Warrant is not exercisable with respect to
a fraction of a share of Common Stock. In lieu of issuing a
fraction of a share remaining after exercise of this Warrant as to
all full shares covered by this Warrant, the Corporation shall pay
for the fractional share cash equal to the same fraction at the
fair market price for such share.
(a) The Holder
may, upon any full or partial exercise of this Warrant, pay the
Exercise Price applicable to such exercise by delivering this
Warrant and receiving from the Corporation in return therefor the
number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Warrant is being
exercised which have a fair market value on the date of exercise
equal to the fair market value of the Warrant as established in
paragraph 4(b).
(b) The fair
market value of this Warrant shall mean the fair market value of
the Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant minus the Exercise
Price of this Warrant.
(c) The fair
market value of the Common Stock is, if the Common Stock is traded
on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market
as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”), the average of
the daily market prices of such stock on the ten (10) trading days
immediately preceding the date as of which such value is to be
determined. The market price for each such trading day shall be
average of the closing prices on such day of the Common Stock on
all domestic exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed, or
if there have not been sales on any such exchange on such day, the
average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on all such
exchanges at the end of such day, or, if the Common Stock is not so
listed, the average of the high and low bid and asked prices on
such day in the domestic over-the-counter market as reported by the
National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, or any similar successor
organization. If at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any
domestic exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System or the domestic
over-the-counter market, the fair market value shall be the higher
of (i) the book value thereof, as determined by any firm of
independent public accountants of recognized standing selected by
the Corporation (which may be the Corporation’s regular
independent accountants), as of the last day of any month ending
within sixty days preceding the date as of which the determination
is to be made; or (ii) the fair market value thereof, which shall
be reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation as of a date which is within fifteen days of the date
as of which the determination is to be made.
5.
Protection Against Dilution

under this Warrant, and the Exercise Price, shall be adjusted as
set forth as follows. If at any time or from time to time after the
date of this Warrant, the Corporation:

|
pays a dividend payable in, or other distribution
of, Common Stock, or
|
(b) subdivides
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares of Common Stock. or
(c) &n
