1.
Exercise . This Warrant
may be exercised at any time or from time to time, on any business
day, for all or part of the full number of Warrant Shares during
the period of time described in the preceding paragraph, by
surrendering it at the principal office of the Company, 9
Commercial Boulevard, Suite 200, Novato, California 94949,
with the subscription form in the form attached hereto duly
executed, together with payment for the Warrant Shares to be
purchased, payable in cash, cashier’s check and/or wire
transfer of immediately available funds. No other form of
consideration shall be acceptable for the exercise of this Warrant.
A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior
to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise
together with delivery of payment therefor as provided above, and
the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder of such shares as of the close of business on such date. As
soon as practicable on or after such date, and in any event within
10 days thereof, the Company shall issue and deliver to the
person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise. Upon any partial exercise, the Company will issue
and deliver to Holder a new Warrant with respect to the Warrant
Shares not previously purchased. No fractional shares of Common
Stock shall be issued upon exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of any
fractional share to which Holder would be entitled upon exercise,
the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction
multiplied by the then current fair market value of one share of
Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the
Company.
2.
Payment of Taxes . All
shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of a Warrant shall
be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
non-assessable. Holder shall pay all taxes and other governmental
charges that may be imposed in respect of the issue or delivery
thereof and any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any
transfer involved in the issue of any certificate for shares of
Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered Holder
of this Warrant surrendered in connection with the purchase of such
shares, and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue
or deliver any stock certificate until such tax or other charge has
been paid or it has been established to the Company’s
satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.
3.
Transfer and Exchange .
Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 8.1, this
Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole but not
in part, only with the prior approval of the Company, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. If such a proposed transfer is
so approved, this Warrant is transferable on the books of the
Company maintained for such purpose at its principal office
referred to above by Holder in person or by duly authorized
attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed and upon
payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge
imposed upon such transfer. Each taker and holder of this Warrant,
by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this
Warrant, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed negotiable and
that when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed, the Holder
hereof may be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing
with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and
as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby or
to the transfer hereof on the books of the Company, any notice to
the contrary notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such
books, the Company may treat the registered Holder hereof as the
owner for all purposes.
