1.            Term of Warrant.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after the date hereof and at or prior to 11:59 p.m., Pacific Standard Time, on ________, 2016 (the “Expiration Time”).

2.            Exercise of Warrant.

(a)           Subject to Section 2(b) below, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the registered Holder hereof, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at or prior to the Expiration Time by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise form attached hereto duly executed to the offices of the Corporation (or such other office or agency of the Corporation as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder hereof at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Corporation), and upon payment of the Exercise Price for the shares thereby purchased (by cash or by check or bank draft payable to the order of the Corporation at the time of exercise in an amount equal to the purchase price of the shares thereby purchased); whereupon the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation a stock certificate in proper form representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock so purchased.

 

  

  

  

 

(b)          In lieu of the payment methods set forth in Section 2(a) above, Holder may elect to exchange the Warrant for the number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

X = Y (A-B)

A

 

Where X = the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to Holder.

 

Y = the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable under the Warrant being exchanged (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

A = the Market Price on the date of receipt by the Corporation of the exercise documents.

 

B = the Exercise Price of the Warrants being exchanged (as adjusted in accordance with the terms hereof).

The “Market Price” on any trading day shall be deemed to be the last reported sale price of the Corporation’s common stock on such day, or, in case no such reported sales take place on such day, the last reported sale price on the preceding trading day on which there was a last reported sales price, as officially reported by the principal securities exchange in which the shares of the Corporation’s common stock are listed or admitted to trading or by the Nasdaq Stock Market, or if the common stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, the last sale price, or if there is no last sale price, the closing bid price, as furnished by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (such as through the OTC Bulletin Board) or a similar organization or if Nasdaq is no longer reporting such information.  If the Market Price cannot be determined pursuant to the sentence above, the Market Price shall be determined in good faith (using customary valuation methods) by the Board of Directors (or manager(s), if applicable) of the Corporation based on the information best available to it, including recent arms-length sales of common stock to unaffiliated persons.

Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder hereof by the Corporation's transfer agent at the Corporation's expense within a reasonable time after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised in accordance with the terms hereof.  Each certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of such Holder or, subject to applicable laws, such other name as shall be requested by the Holder.  If, upon exercise of this Warrant, fewer than all of the shares of Warrant Stock evidenced by this Warrant are purchased prior to the Expiration Time, one or more new warrants substantially in the form of, and on the terms in, this Warrant will be issued for the remaining number of shares of Warrant Stock not purchased upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon such exercise, be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issuance thereof  (other than liens or charges created by or imposed upon the Holder of the Warrant Stock).  The Corporation agrees that the shares so issued shall be and will be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered for exercise in accordance with the terms hereof.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.
