As used in this Warrant the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:







 



	
  

	
1.1

	
“Registered Holder” shall mean any Holder in whose name this Warrant is registered upon the books and records maintained by the Company.







 



	
  

	
1.2

	
“Warrant” as used herein, shall include this Warrant and any warrant delivered in substitution or exchange therefore as provided herein.

EXERCISE OF WARRANT









 



	
  

	
2.1

	
Payment.  Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant and applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, and on or before the Expiration Date by the delivery (including, without limitation, delivery by facsimile) of the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly executed by the Holder, at the principal office of the Company, and as soon as practicable after such date, surrendering







 



	
  

	
(a)

	
this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, and







 



	
  

	
(b)

	
payment in cash (by check) or by wire transfer of an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise by the then effective Purchase Price (the “Exercise Amount”).







 



	
  

	
2.2

	
Stock Certificates; Delivery, Fractional Shares.  As soon as practicable on or after the date of any exercise of this Warrant but in any event by the close of business on the fifth Trading Day after its receipt of the Exercise Amount, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons designated by the Holder a certificate or certificates for the aggregate number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon an exercise of this Warrant.  The Company may at its sole and absolute discretion round fractional shares to the nearest whole share as full, final and complete satisfaction of its obligations for any exercise of this Warrant. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to the requirements of Section 2 of this Warrant by the close of business on the fifth Trading Day after its receipt of the Exercise Amount, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise. In addition, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise by the close of business on the fifth Trading Day after its receipt of the Exercise Amount, and if after such fifth Trading Day the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (i) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, or (ii) at the option of the Holder, reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not delivered to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.







 


 




  





  











  






 


 



	 	
 

	
For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrant Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.







 



	
  

	
2.3

	
Partial Exercise; Effective Date of Exercise.  In case of any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon surrender hereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above.  The person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the date the Company receives the Notice of Exercise, subject to receipt of the Exercise Amount.







 



	
  

	
2.4

	
Vesting.  The warrants shall vest fully upon issuance.







 



	
3.

	
VALID ISSUANCE; TAXES.  All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issuance of any certificate for shares of Common Stock in any name other than that of the Registered Holder of this Warrant, and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate or security until such tax or other charge has been paid, or it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.







 



	
4.

	
ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities or property receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment upon occurrence of the following events:







 



	
  

	
4.1

	
Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Subdivisions or Combinations of Shares.  The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be proportionally increased to reflect any stock split, stock dividend







 


 




  





  











  






 


 




	
  

	
 

	
(payable, for the avoidance of doubt, solely in shares of Common Stock of the Company to all holders of record of the Company) or other subdivision of the Company’s Common Stock.  The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally increased and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be proportionally decreased to reflect any reverse stock split, consolidation or combination of the Company’s Common Stock.







 





	
  

	
4.2

	
Reclassification.  If the Company, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change 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 Purchase Price therefore shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4.  No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.3 upon any conversion or redemption of the Common Stock which is the subject of Section 4.4.







 



	
  

	
4.3

	
Adjustment for Capital Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation.  In case of any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), or any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company then, and in each such case, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Purchase Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which the holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, 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.  In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.







 


 




  





  











  






 


 



	
  

	
4.4

	
Conversion of Common Stock.  In case all or any portion of the authorized and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are redeemed or converted or reclassified into other securities or property pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, or the Common Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon exercise hereof at any time after the date on which the Common Stock is so redeemed or converted, reclassified or ceases to exist (the “Termination Date”), shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Termination Date, the securities or property that would have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the Common Stock received thereupon had been simultaneously converted immediately prior to the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant.  Additionally, the Purchase Price shall be immediately adjusted such that the aggregate Purchase Price of the maximum number of securities or other property for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the Termination Date is equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.







 



	
5.

	
LOSS OR MUTILATION.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like tenor as the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.







 



	
6.

	
RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK.  The Company hereby covenants that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company as are from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  All such shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights, except encumbrances or restrictions arising under federal or state securities laws. Issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to the Company’s Officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.







 



	
7.

	
TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and compliance with all applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be transferred to any Registered Holder’s parent, subsidiary or affiliate or to any officer, director, partner or member of any such parent, subsidiary or affiliate, in whole or in part, on the books of the Company maintained for such purpose at the principal office of the Company referred to above, by the Registered Holder hereof 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.  Upon any permitted partial transfer, the Company will issue and deliver to the Registered Holder a new Warrant or Warrants with respect to the shares of Common Stock not so transferred.  Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed, the person in possession of this Warrant 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, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however that until a transfer of this Warrant is duly registered on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the Registered Holder hereof as the owner for all purposes.







 





	
8.

	
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. By acceptance hereof, the Holder acknowledges that this Warrant and the capital stock of the Company that may be issued upon its exercise have not been registered under the Securities Act, and Holder agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any capital stock issued upon its exercise in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to this Warrant or such securities and registration or qualification of this Warrant or such securities under any applicable Blue Sky or state securities laws then in effect, or (ii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required.  In the reasonable discretion of the Company, the Company may condition any transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant or the capital stock of the Company that may be issued upon its exercise (other than a disposition satisfying the conditions set forth in clause (i) of Section 8(i) above) upon the transferee’s delivery to the Company of a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, whereby the transferee makes such representations and warranties to and for the benefit of the Company as are comparable to the representations and warranties of the Holder set forth in Section 9 below.







 



	
9.

	
COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.  By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder hereby represents, warrants and covenants that any shares of stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be acquired for investment only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof; that the Holder has had such opportunity as such Holder has deemed adequate to obtain from representatives of the Company such information as is necessary to permit the Holder to evaluate the merits and risks of its investment in the Company; that the Holder is able to bear the economic risk of holding such shares as may be acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period; that the Holder understands that the shares of stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant will not be registered under the Securities Act (unless otherwise registered pursuant to exercise by the Holder of the registration rights, if any, granted to the Registered Holder) and will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available for at least six (6) months from the date of exercise of this Warrant, subject to any special treatment by the SEC for exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 2.2, and even then will not be available unless a public market then exists for the stock, adequate information concerning the Company is then available to







 


 


 




  





  











  






 


 




	
 

	
the public, and other terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with; and that all stock certificates representing shares of stock issued to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant or upon conversion of such shares may have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form:









 


THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER SECURITIES LAWS.

10.

	
NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS STOCKHOLDERS.  This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.  In the absence of affirmative action by such Holder to purchase Common Stock by exercise of this Warrant or Common Stock upon conversion thereof, no provisions of this Warrant, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof shall cause such Holder hereof to be a stockholder of the Company for any purpose.







 



	
11.

Except as may be otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, waivers and other communications made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be conclusively deemed to have been duly given (a) when hand delivered to the other party; (b) when received when sent by facsimile at the address and number set forth below; (c) three business days after deposit in the U.S. mail with first class or certified mail receipt requested postage prepaid and addressed to the other party as set forth below; or (d) the next business day after deposit with a national overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed to the parties as set forth below with next-business-day delivery guaranteed, provided that the sending party receives a confirmation of delivery from the delivery service provider.
