EXERCISE
2.1
Exercise Right; Manner of Exercise . The purchase
rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder,
in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time during the
Exercise Period upon (i) surrender of this Warrant, together with
an executed Notice of Exercise, substantially in the form of
Exhibit "A" attached hereto, at the Principal Executive Office, and
(ii) payment to the Company of the aggregate Exercise Price for the
number of Warrant Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise (such
aggregate Exercise Price is herein referred to as the "Total
Exercise Price"). The Total Exercise Price shall be paid
by check or wire transfer. The Person or Person(s) in
whose name(s) any certificate(s) representing the Warrant Shares
which are issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to
become the holder(s) of, and shall be treated for all purposes as
the record holder(s) of, such Warrant Shares, and such Warrant
Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, immediately prior to
the close of business on the date on which this Warrant and Notice
of Exercise are presented and payment made for such Warrant Shares,
notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall
then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant
Shares shall not then be actually delivered to such Person or
Person(s). Certificates for the Warrant Shares so
purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable
time, not exceeding fifteen (15) days after this Warrant is
exercised. If this Warrant is exercised in part only,

the parties hereto) evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase
the balance of the Warrant Shares which Holder is entitled to
purchase hereunder. The issuance of Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder
for any issuance tax with respect thereto or any other cost
incurred by the Company in connection with the exercise of this
Warrant and the related issuance of Warrant Shares.
2.2

a. Cashless

other rights of the Holder hereunder, the Holder shall have the
right (the "Conversion Right") to convert this Warrant or any part
hereof into Warrant Shares at any time and from time to time during
the term hereof as set forth in this Section 2.2. Upon
exercise of the Conversion Right with respect to a particular
number of Warrant Shares (the "Converted Warrant Shares"), the
Company shall deliver to the Holder, without payment by the Holder
of any Exercise Price or any cash or other consideration, that
number of Warrant Shares computed using the following
formula:
|
|
|
The number of
Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder
|
|
|
|
The Fair Market
Value of one Warrant Share as of the Conversion
Date
|
|
|

Fair Market Value (i.e., Fair Market Value x Converted Warrant
Shares)
|
|
|
|
The Aggregate
Exercise Price (i.e., Exercise Price x Converted Warrant
Shares)
|
For purposes of
Rule 144, it is intended and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares
issued in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have
been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant
Shares required by Rule 144 shall be deemed to have been commenced,
on the Issue Date.
b. Method
of Exercise. The Conversion Right may be exercised by
the Holder by the surrender of this Warrant at the Principal
Executive Office, together with a written statement (the
"Conversation Statement") specifying that the Holder intends to
exercise the Conversion Right and indicating the number of Warrant
Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Conversion
Right. Such conversion shall be effective upon the
Company's receipt of this Warrant, together with the Conversion
Statement, or on such later date as is specified in the Conversion
Statement (the "Conversion Date") and, at the Holder's election,
may be made contingent upon the closing of the consummation of the
sale of Common Stock pursuant to a
Registration. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so
acquired shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time,
not exceeding fifteen (15) days after the Conversion
Date. If applicable, the Company shall, upon surrender
of this Warrant for cancellation, deliver a new Warrant evidencing
the rights of the Holder to purchase the balance of the Warrant
Shares which Holder is entitled to purchase
hereunder. The issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise
of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any
issuance tax with respect thereto or any other cost incurred by the
Company in connection with the conversion of this Warrant and the
related issuance of Warrant Shares.
c. Automatic
Conversation. If, as of the last day of the Exercise
Period, this Warrant has not been fully exercised, then as of such
date this Warrant shall be automatically converted, in full, in
accordance with this Section 2.2, without any action or notice by
Holder. For purposes of such automatic conversion, the
date of automatic conversion shall be the Conversion
Date.
2.3
Fractional Shares . The Company shall not issue
fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional
shares of Common Stock upon any exercise or conversion of this
Warrant. As to any fractional share of Common Stock
which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase from the
Company upon such exercise or conversion, it shall become one share
of the pertinent security without payment of additional
consideration by the Holder.

this Warrant for all purposes whatsoever and neither the Company
nor any Company agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
3.2
Restrictions on Transfers .
a. Compliance
with Securities Act. The Holder, by acceptance hereof,
agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon
the exercise hereof are being acquired for investment, solely for
the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other Person,

applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this
Warrant, the Holder shall confirm in writing, by executing the form

exercise of this Warrant (unless Registered under the Securities
Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form (in addition to any legends required by
applicable state securities laws):
THE SECURITIES
EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW AND
ACCORDINGLY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR
HYPOTHECATED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO A
RESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, IN THE ABSENCE OF (i) AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO, OR (ii) AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY,
THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR (iii) RECEIPT OF A
NO-ACTION LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND
OTHERWISE COMPLYING WITH THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE III OF THIS
WARRANT.
c. Disposition
of Warrant or Shares. With respect to any offer, sale or
other disposition of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares prior to
Registration of such shares, the Holder or the Shareholder, as the
case may be, agrees to give written notice to the Company prior
thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a
written opinion of the Holder's or Shareholder's counsel, if
reasonably requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer,
sale or other disposition may be effected without Registration
under the Securities Act or qualification under any applicable
state securities laws of this Warrant or such shares, as the case
may be, and indicating whether or not under the Securities Act
certificates for this Warrant or such shares, as the case may be,
to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend
as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to insure
compliance with the Securities Act. Promptly upon
receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion,
if so requested, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall
notify the Holder or the Shareholder, as the case may be, that it
may sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or such shares, as
the case may be, all in accordance with the terms of the notice
delivered to the Company. If a determination has been
made pursuant to this subsection (c) that the opinion of counsel
for the Holder or the Shareholder, as the case may be, is not
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify
the Holder or the Shareholder, as the case may be, promptly after
such determination has been made and shall specify the legal
analysis supporting any such conclusion. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Warrant or such shares, as the case may be, may
be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule
144, provided that the Company shall have been furnished with such
information as the Company may reasonably request to provide
reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 have been
satisfied. Each certificate representing this Warrant or
the shares thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule
144) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on
transferability in order to insure compliance with the Securities
Act, unless in the aforesaid reasonably satisfactory opinion of
counsel for the Holder or the Shareholder, as the case may be, such
legend is not necessary in order to insure compliance with the
Securities Act. The Company may issue stop transfer
instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such
restrictions.
d. Warrant
Transfer Procedure. Transfer of this Warrant to a third
party, following compliance with the preceding subsections of this
Section 3.2, shall be effected by execution of the Assignment Form
attached hereto as Exhibit "C", and surrender for registration of
transfer of this Warrant at the Principal Executive Office,
together with funds sufficient to pay any applicable transfer
tax. Upon receipt of the duly executed Assignment Form
and the necessary transfer tax funds, if any, the Company, at its
expense, shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Warrants (containing the
same terms and conditions as set forth in this Warrant, as may be
amended from time to time by the parties hereto) representing the
right to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant
Shares.
e. Termination
of Restrictions. The restrictions imposed under this
Section 3.2 upon the transferability of the Warrant and the Warrant
Shares shall cease when (i) a Registration covering all shares of
Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
becomes effective under the Securities Act, (ii) the Company is
presented with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company that such restrictions are no longer required in order to
insure compliance with the Securities Act or with a Commission
"no-action" letter stating that future transfers of such securities
by the transferor or the contemplated transferee would be exempt
from registration under the Securities Act, or (iii) such
securities may be transferred in accordance with Rule
144. When such restrictions terminate, the Company
shall, or shall instruct its transfer agent to, promptly, and
without expense to the Holder or the Shareholder, as the case may
be, issue new securities in the name of the Holder and/or the
Shareholder, as the case may be, not bearing the legends required
under subsection (b) of this Section 3.2. In addition,
new securities shall be issued without such legends if such legends
may be properly removed under the terms of Rule 144.
3.3
See 5.1 Exchange . At the Holder's option, this
Warrant may be exchanged for other Warrants (containing the same
terms and conditions as set forth in this Warrant, as may be
amended from time to time by the parties hereto) representing the
right to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares upon
surrender of this Warrant at the Principal Executive
Office. Whenever this Warrant is so surrendered to the
Company at the Principal Executive Office for exchange, the Company
shall execute and deliver the Warrants which the Holder is entitled
to receive. All Warrants issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of Warrants shall be the valid obligations of
the Company, evidencing the same rights, and entitled to the same
benefits, as the Warrants surrendered upon such registration of
transfer or exchange. No service charge shall be made
for any exchange of this Warrant.
3.4

satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant and (i) in the case of any such loss
theft or destruction, upon delivery of indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Company in form and amount, or (ii) in the case
of any such mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for
cancellation at the Principal Executive Office, the Company, at its
expense, shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new
Warrant.
ARTICLE IV.
ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS AND RESET
PROVISIONS
4.1
Reorganization, Reclassification or Recapitalization of the
Company . In case of (1) a capital reorganization,
reclassification or recapitalization of the Company's capital stock
(other than in the cases referred to in Section 4.3 hereof), (2)
the Company's consolidation or merger with or into another
corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a
reverse triangular merger in which the Company is the surviving
entity but the shares of the Company's capital stock outstanding
immediately prior to the merger are converted or exchanged, by
virtue of the merger, into other property, whether in the form of
securities, cash or otherwise, or (3) the sale or transfer of the
Company's property as an entirety or substantially as an entirety,
then, as part of such capital reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful
provision shall be made so that there shall thereafter be
deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant or any portion
thereof (in lieu of or in addition to the number of shares of
Common Stock therefore deliverable, as appropriate), and without
payment of any additional consideration, the number of shares of
stock or other securities or property to which the holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock which would otherwise have been
deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant or any portion
thereof at the time of such capital reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer would have been entitled to receive in such capital
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation,
merger, sale or transfer. This Section 4.1 shall apply
to successive capital reorganizations, reclassifications,
recapitalizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and
to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the
time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If
the per-share consideration payable to the Holder for shares of
Common Stock in connection with any transaction described in this
Section 4.1 is in a form other than cash or marketable securities,
then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good
faith by the Company's Board of Directors.
4.2
Splits and Combinations . If the Company at any
time subdivides any of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately
reduced, and, conversely if the outstanding shares of Common Stock
are combined into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased. Upon any adjustment of the
Exercise Price under this Section 4.2, the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall equal the
number of shares determined by dividing (i) the aggregate Exercise
Price payable for the purchase of all shares issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment by (ii) the
Exercise Price per share in effect immediately after such
adjustment.
4.3
Reclassifications . If the Company changes any of
the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist
into the same or a different number of securities of any other
class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right
to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been
issuable as the result of such change with respect to the
securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this
Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change
and the Exercise Price therefor shall be appropriately
adjusted.
4.4
Liquidation; Dissolution . If the Company shall
dissolve, liquidate or wind up its affairs, the Holder shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to exercise this Warrant
effective as of the date of such dissolution, liquidation or
winding up. If any such dissolution, liquidation or
winding up results in any cash distribution to the Holder in excess
of the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercised, then the Holder may, at its
option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of such
aggregate Exercise Price and, in such case, the Company shall, upon
distribution to the Holder, consider such aggregate Exercise Price
to have been paid in full, and in making such settlement to the
Holder, shall deduct an amount equal to such aggregate Exercise
Price from the amount payable to the Holder.
4.5
Adjustment of Exercise Price and Shares Purchasable
.
a. Adjustment
of Exercise Price. If the Company issues any Additional
Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share less
than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of
such issuance, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the
price determined by dividing:
|
|
|
an amount equal
to the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding
immediately prior to such issue or sale multiplied by the then
existing Exercise Price, and (B) an amount equal to the aggregate
"consideration actually received" by the Company upon such issue or
sale, by
|
|
|
|
the sum of the
number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately after such
issue or sale.
|
For purposes of this subsection (a):
|
|
|
In the case of
an issue or sale for cash of shares of Common Stock, the
"consideration actually received" by the Company therefor
