THIS
WARRANT HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ SECURITIES ACT
”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS WARRANT MAY

THIS
CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Anthony J. Ciabattoni, Trustee
of the Ciabattoni Living Trust dated August 17, 2000, or its
registered assigns (“ Holder ”), is entitled to
purchase, subject to the conditions set forth below, at any time or
from time to time during the Exercise Period (as defined in
Section 1.2 below), Five Hundred Thousand (500,000)
shares (“ Shares ”) of fully paid and
non-assessable common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “
Common Stock ”), of Tri-Isthmus Group, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), at the
per share purchase price (the “ Warrant Price ”)
set forth in Section 1.1 below, subject to the further
provisions of this Warrant.
The
terms and conditions upon which this Warrant may be exercised, and
the Shares subject hereto may be purchased, are as
follows:
1.1
Warrant Price . The Warrant Price shall be $0.75 per Share,
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4
below.
1.2
Method Of Exercise . Holder may at any time beginning on the
effective date of this Warrant and for three (3) years from
such date of effectiveness, or such later date as the Company may
in its sole discretion determine (the “ Exercise
Period ”), exercise in whole or in part the purchase
rights evidenced by this Warrant. Such exercise shall be effected
by:
(a) the
surrender of this Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of
the form of notice of exercise attached hereto as
Exhibit A , to the Secretary of the Company at its
principal offices;
(b) the
payment to the Company, by cash, certified or cashier’s check
payable to Company’s order or wire transfer to the
Company’s account, of an amount equal to the aggregate
Warrant Price for the number of Shares for which the purchase
rights hereunder are being exercised. Alternatively if then
permitted under applicable securities laws, Holder may exercise
this Warrant by delivering to the Company: (i) a properly
executed notice of exercise together with a copy of irrevocable
instructions (“Broker Instructions”) to a FINRA-member
securities broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a
check payable to the Company in the full amount of the Warrant
Price for the total number of Shares being purchased against the
Company’s delivery of the Shares for which this Warrant is
exercised (if the Holder and the securities broker comply with such
procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other
agreements as the Company may reasonably prescribe as a condition
of that payment procedure) or (ii) shares of Common Stock,
free and clear of any and all liens, claims and encumbrances,
having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined herein below)
equal to the full amount of the Warrant Price for the total number
of Shares being purchased. The Holder may also make payment in any
combination of the permissible forms of payment described in the
preceding sentence. Additionally, if then permitted under
applicable securities laws, if the Fair Market Value of the Shares
at time of exercise is greater than the Warrant Price, the Holder
may exercise this Warrant or any portion hereof by indicating on
the notice of exercise that the Holder elects to exercise this
Warrant on a net exercise basis (“Net Exercise Basis”).
The Company shall then issue to the Holder a number of Shares
determined using the following formula:
|
|
X =
|
|
the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Y =
|
|
the number of Shares covered by this Warrant in respect of which
the net exercise election is made pursuant to this
Section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A =
|
|
the Fair Market Value of one Share, as determined in accordance
with the provisions hereof, as of the date this Warrant is
exercised.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
B =
|
|
the Warrant Price in effect as of the date this Warrant is
exercised.
|
Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock (for purposes of this
section) means (a) if the Shares are traded on a national
securities exchange, the average of the closing prices for the
twenty (20) trading days prior to the date this Warrant is
exercised; (b) if the Shares are traded on the OTC Bulletin
Board or another market or quotation system, or the prices for the
shares are published on the “Pink Sheets” operated by
the Pink Sheets LLC, the average of the closing bid and ask prices
posted for the Shares during the twenty (20) trading days prior to
the date this Warrant is exercised; or (c) if the primary
market for such Shares is not an exchange or quotation system, the
fair market value thereof as shall be determined in good faith
using appropriate valuation methods by the Board of Directors of
the Company as of the date this Warrant is exercised;
and
(c) the
delivery to the Company, if necessary in the discretion of counsel
for the Company, to assure compliance with the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), and
applicable state securities laws, of an instrument executed by
holder certifying that the Shares are being purchased solely for
the account of Holder and not with a view to any resale or
distribution in violation of the Securities Act or applicable state
securities laws.

1.3
Issuance Of Shares and New Warrant . If the purchase rights
evidenced by this Warrant are exercised in whole or in part, one or
more certificates for the purchased Shares shall be issued as soon
as practicable thereafter to Holder. If the purchase rights
evidenced by this Warrant are exercised only in part, the Company
shall also deliver to Holder at such time a new Warrant evidencing
the purchase rights regarding the number of Shares (if any) for
which the purchase rights under this Warrant remain unexercised and
continue in force and effect. All new Warrants issued in connection
with the provisions of this Section 1.3 shall bear the
same date as this Warrant and shall be substantially identical in
form and provisions to this Warrant except for the number of Shares
purchasable thereunder. Each person in whose name any certificate
for Shares is to be issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have
become the holder of record of such Shares on the date on which
this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was
made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such stock
certificate, 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.
2.1
Transfers . This Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable in whole or in part by the Holder subject to the
provisions of Section 7 below. The transfer shall be
recorded on the books of the Company upon (i) the surrender of
this Warrant (together with a duly executed and endorsed copy of
the form of transfer certificate attached hereto as Exhibit
B ) to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices,
and (ii) the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and
other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. In the event
of a partial transfer, the Company shall issue to the several
holders one or more appropriate new Warrants.
2.2
Registered Holder . Each holder of this Warrant agrees that
until such time as any transfer pursuant to Section 2.1
above is recorded on the books of the Company, the Company may
treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner.
2.3
Form Of New Warrants . All new Warrants issued in
connection with transfers of this Warrant shall bear the same date
as this Warrant and shall be substantially identical in form and
provisions to this Warrant except for the number of Shares
purchasable thereunder.
Notwithstanding
any adjustment (as required hereby) to the number of Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall
not be required to issue any fraction of a Share upon exercise of
this Warrant. If, by reason of any change made pursuant to
Section 4 below, the Holder would be entitled, upon the
exercise of any rights evidenced hereby, to receive a fractional
interest in a Share, the Company shall, upon such proper exercise
of this Warrant, purchase such fractional interest for an amount in
cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional interest,
determined as of the date of such exercise of this
Warrant.

proportionately decreased; and, conversely, if the Common Stock
shall at any time be combined into a smaller number of shares, then
the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant
