transferred only pursuant to (i) an effective registration
statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), (ii) an exemption from such
registration, or (iii) the provisions of Regulation S promulgated

for transfer properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate
instructions for transfer and such other documents as may be

to establish that such transfer is being made in accordance with
the terms hereof, and a new Warrant shall be issued to the

Section
2. Exercise of Warrant .
(a)
Subject to the provisions hereof,
the Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at
any time prior to its expiration upon surrender of the Warrant,
together with delivery of the duly executed Warrant exercise form
attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Exercise
Agreement”) and payment by cash, certified check or wire
transfer of funds for the aggregate Warrant Price for that number
of Warrant Shares then being purchased, to the Company during
normal business hours on any business day at the Company’s
principal executive offices outside the United States (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice
to the Warrantholder). The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be
deemed to be issued to the Warrantholder or the
Warrantholder’s designee, as the record owner of such shares,
as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall
have been surrendered (or evidence of loss, theft or destruction
thereof and security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company), the
Warrant Price shall have been paid and the completed Exercise
Agreement shall have been delivered. Certificates for the Warrant
Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares
specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the
Warrantholder within a reasonable time, not exceeding ten (10)
business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The
certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be
requested by the Warrantholder and shall be registered in the name
of the Warrantholder or such other name as shall be designated by
the Warrantholder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only
in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall,
at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates,
deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant representing the number
of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have
been exercised. As used herein, “business day” means a
day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks in New York
City are open for the general transaction of business. Upon
exercise, the Warrantholder will be required to make the
representations and warranties contained in the Exercise
Agreement.
(b)
Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at
any time prior to the Expiration Date by means of a “cashless
exercise” in which the Warrantholder shall be entitled to
receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (C)] by (A), where:
(A) = the VWAP
on the business day immediately preceding the date of such
election;
(B) = the
Warrant Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
(C) = 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.
For purposes
hereof, “VWAP” means, for any business day, the volume
weighted average price of the Common Stock for the nearest
preceding business day on the OTC BB or other principal exchange or
market on which the Common Stock trades as reported by Bloomberg
Financial L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30 A.M. to 4:02 P.M.
Eastern Time (U.S.). In connection with a cashless exercise of this
Warrant, the Warrantholder shall deliver a duly executed Exercise
Agreement and this Warrant. The Company’s delivery of shares
of Common Stock and, if applicable, the delivery of a replacement
Warrant shall conform to the requirements set forth in Section 2(a)
herein.
Section
3. Compliance with the Securities Act of
1933 . The Company may
cause the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant to be
set forth on each Warrant or similar legend on any security issued
or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, unless counsel for the
Company is of the opinion as to any such security that such legend
is unnecessary.
Section
4. Payment of Taxes . The Company will pay any documentary stamp
taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may
be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or
delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other
than that of the Warrantholder in respect of which such shares are
issued, and in such case, the Company shall not be required to
issue or deliver any certificate for Warrant Shares or any Warrant
until the person requesting the same has paid to the Company the
amount of such tax or has established to the Company’s
reasonable satisfaction that such tax has been paid. The
Warrantholder shall be responsible for income taxes due under
federal, state or other law, if any such tax is due.
Section
5. Mutilated or Missing Warrants
. In case this Warrant shall be
mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue in
exchange and substitution of and upon cancellation of the mutilated
Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant lost,
stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and for the
purchase of a like number of Warrant Shares, but only upon receipt
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft or destruction of the Warrant, and with respect to a lost,
stolen or destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond with
respect thereto, if requested by the Company.
Section
6. Reservation of Common Stock
. The Company hereby represents and
warrants that there have been reserved, and the Company shall at
all applicable times keep reserved until issued (if necessary) as
contemplated by this Section 7, out of the authorized and unissued
shares of Common Stock, sufficient shares to provide for the
exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this Warrant. The
Company agrees that all Warrant Shares issued upon due exercise of
the Warrant shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates
for such Warrant Shares, duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the
Company.
Section
7. Adjustments . Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 7, the Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares subject
to this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
set forth hereinafter.
(a)
If the Company shall, at any time
or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, pay a
dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of
Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant immediately
prior to the date upon which such change shall become effective,
shall be adjusted by the Company so that the Warrantholder
thereafter exercising the Warrant shall be entitled to receive the
number of shares of Common Stock which, if the Warrant had been
exercised immediately prior to such event, (i) the Warrantholder
would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by
virtue of such dividend, distribution or subdivision, or (ii) in
the case of a combination, such number of shares into which the
number of shares the Warrantholder would have owned upon such
exercise would have been reduced to as a result of such
combination. Whenever the number of shares of Common
Stock
