This Warrant may be exercised in full or in part by the Holder hereof by delivery of an original or facsimile copy of the form of notice of exercise attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Notice of Exercise Form") duly executed and completed by such Holder and surrender of the original Warrant to the Company at its principal office or such other office as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder, accompanied by payment in cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of the Company, or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised by the Purchase Price then in effect.


 


On any such partial exercise, the Company, at its expense, will within a reasonable time issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder hereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Holder hereof or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, the whole number of Shares for which such Warrant may still be exercised.


 


1.3.           Net Exercise. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Purchase Price (at the Date of Exercise as defined below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or such other office as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder, together with the properly endorsed and completed Notice of Exercise Form in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Shares computed using the following formula:


 


X=Y (A-B)


   A






  





2











  








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 the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the Date of Exercise)







 



	
  

	
A=

	
the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the Date of Exercise)







 



	
  

	
B=

	
Purchase Price (as adjusted to the Date of Exercise).







 


1.4.           Fair Market Value. Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the "Determination Date") shall mean:


 


(a)           If the Company's Common Stock is traded on an exchange or is quoted on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market, then the closing or last sale price, respectively, reported for the last Business Day immediately preceding the Determination Date;


 


(b)           If the Company's Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market, but is traded in the over-the-counter market, then the average of the closing bid and ask prices reported for the last Business Day immediately preceding the Determination Date; and


 


(c)           If the Company's Common Stock is not publicly traded, then as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.


 


1.5.           Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise. The Company agrees that the Shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been duly exercised (the “Date of Exercise”) in accordance with the terms herein and surrendered, and, if such Holder is not using the Net Exercise provisions set forth in Section 1.3 to purchase all of the Shares, payment of the Purchase Price made by the Holder to the Company for such Shares as aforesaid. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Shares (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise.  No fractional Shares shall be issued and in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay to Holder cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share of Common Stock, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.


 


 2.           Adjustments and Other Rights.  The Purchase Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this Section 2 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 2 so as to result in duplication:

2.1.           Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.  In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other Person or (c) transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets to any other Person (each a “Business Combination”), the Holder’s right to receive Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be converted into the right to exercise this Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such Business Combination) upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such Business Combination would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Business Combination; and in such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to the Holder’s right to exercise this Warrant in exchange for any shares or stock or other securities or property pursuant to this paragraph.


 


2.2           Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock.  In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivison or combination shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder after such date shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Shares subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date.  In such event, the Purchase Price in effect at the time shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant before such adjustment and (2) the Purchase Price in effect immediately before such event giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.


 


2.3           Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments.  All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share, as the case may be.  Any provision of this Section 2 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Purchase Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less that $0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or 1/10th of a share of Common Stock.   Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 2 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur.  If an adjustment in Purchase Price made hereunder would reduce the Purchase Price to an amount below par value of the Common Stock, then such adjustment in Purchase Price made hereunder shall reduce the Purchase Price to only the par value of the Common Stock.


 


2.4.           Certificate as to Adjustments.  In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the Shares (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare and file at the principal office of the Company a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price and the number of Shares to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of the Warrant.

3.           Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant.

Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered Holder hereof (a "Transferor").

No such transfers shall result in a public distribution of the Warrant.


 


5.           Replacement of Warrant.  On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of a bond, indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense, twice only, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares as provided for in such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.


 


6.           No Rights as Stockholder; Transfer Books.  No Holder shall be entitled, as a Warrant holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of any Shares or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to the shareholders of the Company at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise, prior to the date of the valid exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
