 (a)       To exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, the Holder shall deliver to the Company at the Warrant Agency:  (i) this Warrant; (ii) a written notice, substantially in the form of the subscription notice attached hereto as Annex 1, of such Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of whole shares of Common Stock to be purchased, the denominations of the share certificate or certificates desired and the name or names of the Eligible Holder(s) in which such certificates are to be registered (the “Exercise Notice”); and (iii) payment of the Exercise Price with respect to such shares of Common Stock.  Such payment may be made, at the option of the Holder, by cash, money order, certified or bank 


 


 









 


cashier’s check, wire transfer or, subject to and accordance with Section 1.1(b), by a cash-less exercise of this Warrant.


(b)       In lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect, at any time after the Exercise Date and prior to the Expiration Date, to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant to the Company at the Warrant Agency, together with the properly endorsed Exercise Notice, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:



	
             
 	
            X=
 	
            _Y(A-B)_
 






	
             
 	
             
 	
                  A
 





where 



	
             
 	
            X =
 	
            the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder;
 






	
             
 	
            Y =
 	
            the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being exercised (at the date of exercise);
 






	
             
 	
            A =
 	
            the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock (at the date of exercise); and
 






	
             
 	
            B =

(c)       The Company shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, in accordance with an Exercise Notice delivered pursuant to Section 1.1(a) or 1.1(b), a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified in said notice.  The share certificate or certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be specified in such notice (or, if such notice shall not specify denominations, one certificate shall be issued) and shall be issued in the name of the Holder or such other name or names of Eligible Holder(s) as shall be designated in such notice.  Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and such Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be
deemed to have exercised this Warrant and for all purposes to have become holders of record of such shares, as of the date the aforementioned notice is received by the Company.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.  The Company shall pay all expenses payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of share certificates and new Warrants as contemplated by Section 2.6 below (other than transfer or similar taxes in connection with the transfer of securities), except that, if share certificates or new Warrants shall be registered in a name or names other than the name of the Holder, funds sufficient to pay all transfer taxes payable as a result of such transfer shall
be paid by the Holder at the time of 


 



	
             
 	
            2
 





 









 


delivering the aforementioned notice or promptly upon receipt of a written request of the Company for payment.


(d)       If this Warrant shall be surrendered for exercise within any period during which the transfer books for shares of the Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant are closed for any purpose, then the Company shall not be required to make delivery of certificates for the Common Stock purchasable upon such exercise until the date of the reopening of said transfer books.


1.2       Shares To Be Fully Paid and Nonassessable.  All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.


1.3       No Fractional Shares To Be Issued.  The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Holder may only elect to exercise this Warrant with respect to a whole number of shares of the Common Stock.


1.4       Securities Laws; Share Legend.  The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees that this Warrant and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be disposed of only in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any successor Federal statue, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”).  In addition to any other legend which the Company may deem advisable under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, all certificates representing shares of Common Stock (as well as any other securities issued hereunder in respect of any such shares) issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be endorsed as follows:


THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.


Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) selected by the Holder of such certificate and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the securities represented thereby need no longer be subject to restrictions on resale under the Securities Act.


1.5       Exercise Limitations.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 1.1 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Exercise Notice, the Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Person or entity acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 


 



	
             
 	
            3
 





 









 


the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.  For purposes of this Section 1.5, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1.5 applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be made in good faith by the Company in consultation with the Holder.  In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  The
“Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  The provisions of this Section 1.5 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1.5 to correct this Section 1.5 (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 1.5 shall apply to all Eligible Holders of this Warrant.

The Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by any Person other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, until presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided in this Article II.


2.3       Transfer of Warrant.  This Warrant may only be transferred to a purchaser subject to and in accordance with this Section 2.3 and Section 1.4 hereof, and any attempted transfer which is not in accordance with this Section 2.3 and Section 1.4 hereof shall be null and void and the transferee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of the holder of this Warrant.  The Company agrees to maintain at the Warrant Agency books for the registration of such transfers of Warrants, and transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder shall be registered, in whole or in part, on such books, upon surrender of this Warrant at the Warrant Agency in accordance with this Section 2.3, together with a written assignment of this Warrant, substantially in the form of the assignment attached hereto as
Annex 2, duly executed by the Holder or its duly authorized agent or attorney-in-fact, with signatures guaranteed by a bank or trust company or a broker or dealer registered with the NASD, and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon such transfer.

(subject to being satisfied that such transfer is in compliance with Section 1.4 hereof) shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in the instrument of assignment, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Warrant may be exercised by a new holder without having a new Warrant issued.  The Company shall not be required to pay any Federal or state transfer tax or charge that may be payable in respect of any transfer of this Warrant or the issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of this Warrant.


2.4       Division or Combination of Warrants.  This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants, in connection with the partial exercise of this Warrant, upon surrender hereof and of any Warrant or Warrants with which this Warrant is to be combined at the Warrant Agency, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which the new Warrant or Warrants are to be issued, signed by the holders hereof and thereof or their respective duly authorized agents or attorneys-in-fact.

2.6       Expenses of Delivery of Warrants.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company shall pay all expenses (other than transfer taxes as described in Section 2.3) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of Warrants hereunder and shares of Common Stock upon the exercise hereof.

ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS


3.1       Adjustments Generally.  The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as provided in this Article III.


3.2       Common Share Reorganization and Stock Dividend Payments.  If the Company, at any time this Warrant is outstanding, (a) shall subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or consolidate its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares (any such event being called a “Common Share  


 



	
             
 	
            5
 





 









 


Reorganization”), or (b) pay a stock dividend (except scheduled dividends paid on preferred stock which contain a stated dividend rate) or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or on any other class of capital stock payable in shares of Common Stock (any such event being called a “Stock Dividend Payment”), then (i) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of shares of Common Stock are determined for purposes of a Common Share Reorganization or at which the holders of shares of Common Stock or any other class of capital stock are determined for purposes of a Stock Dividend Payment, as the case may be, to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization or Stock Dividend Payment, as the case may be, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization or Stock Dividend Payment, as the case may be, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted, effective at such time, to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to purchase immediately before such Common Share Reorganization or Stock Dividend Payment, as the case may be, by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares outstanding after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization or Stock Dividend Payment, as the case may be, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately before such Common Share Reorganization or Stock Dividend Payment, as the case may be.


3.3       Capital Reorganization.  If, at any time this Warrant is outstanding, there shall be any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, other than a consolidation or a merger in which the Company is a continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a Common Share Reorganization, Stock Dividend Payment or a change in par value) in, outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any sale or conveyance of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety (any such event being called a “Capital Reorganization”), then, effective upon the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, the Holder shall have the right to purchase, upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind
and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after such Capital Reorganization if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such Capital Reorganization.  As a condition to effecting any Capital Reorganization, the Company or the successor or surviving corporation, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Holder and to the Warrant Agency an agreement as to the Holder's rights in accordance with this Section 3.3, providing for subsequent adjustments as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article III.  The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall similarly apply to successive Capital Reorganizations.


3.4       Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price, but in no event will the number of shares issuable upon exercise of 


 



	
             
 	
            6
 





 









 


this Warrant be increased in connection with such Dilutive Issuance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Exercise Price may not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.4 to a price less than the Exercise Price Floor and (ii) no adjustments shall be made under this Section 3.4 in respect of an Exempt Issuance.  



	
             
 	
            3.5
 	
            Adjustment Rules.  
 





 (a)       Any adjustments pursuant to this Article III shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur.


(b)       If the Company shall set a record date to determine the holders of shares of Common Stock or any other class of capital stock, as the case may be, for purposes of a Common Share Reorganization, Stock Dividend Payment or Capital Reorganization and shall legally abandon such action prior to effecting such action, then no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Article III in respect of such action.


3.6       Notice of Adjustments.  The Company shall give notice to the Holder prior to any record date or effective date, as the case may be, in respect of any Common Share Reorganization, Stock Dividend Payment or Capital Reorganization describing, in each case, such event in reasonable detail and specifying such record date or effective date, as the case may be.  In addition, after the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of any Common Share Reorganization, Stock Dividend Payment or Capital Reorganization, the Company shall promptly give notice to the Holder of such event, describing such event in reasonable detail and specifying the record date or effective date, as the case may be, and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the computation thereof.  If the required adjustment is not
determinable at the time of such notice, the Company shall give notice to the Holder of such adjustment and computation promptly after such adjustment becomes determinable.


3.7       Adjustment by Board of Directors.  If any event occurs as to which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, the provisions of this Article III are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of Directors may make, in its discretion, an adjustment in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, so as to protect such rights as aforesaid, but in no event shall any adjustment have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price or decreasing the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrant is exercisable as otherwise determined pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Article III, except in the case of a combination of shares of a type contemplated in Section 3.2 and then in no event to an amount larger than the Exercise Price as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2.
