Payment of the Warrant Price shall be made (i) in cash, by cashier's check or by wire transfer or (ii) through the surrender of debt, preferred equity securities or Common Stock of the Company having a principal amount, liquidation preference, or current market price, as the case may be, equal to the aggregate Warrant Price to be paid (the Company will pay the accrued interest or dividends on such surrendered debt, preferred equity securities, or Common Stock in cash at the time of surrender notwithstanding the stated terms thereof) or (iii) through "cashless" or "net-issue" exercise provided in Section 3(b) below. For purposes of this Section 3, the "Exercisability Date" shall mean the earliest to occur of the following dates: (i) December 27, 1999; (ii) the date when a Change of Control Notice (as defined in Section 7.4) is given; (iii) the date that certain Consulting and Strategic Services Agreement dated December 27, 1996 by and between the Company and EUF Xxxxxx X.X. is terminated (with or without cause); or (iv) the date upon which a registered public offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of equity interests in the Company is made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 or a successor form, but in no event earlier than June 27, 1998 in the event such offering occurs prior to such date.
(b) The holder of the Warrant may also exercise the Warrant in a "cashless" or "net-issue" exercise by delivery to the Company of (a) the written notice described in Section 3(a) above, (b) the Warrant and (c) written notice that the holder elects to make payment of the Warrant Price, in full or in part, by surrender of its right to purchase certain shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant. For purposes of this Section 3(b), the value of the surrender of the right to purchase a share of Common Stock shall be attributed a value equal to (i) the current market price per share of Common Stock minus (ii) the then Warrant Price per share of Common Stock. If the determination of current market price per share of Common Stock is to be made for a "cashless" or "net-issue" exercise in connection with an initial public offering of Common Stock, the current market price per share of Common Stock shall equal the per share offering price without deductions for any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Company in connection with such offering. Otherwise, the current market price shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.1(f) hereof.
(c) Upon such surrender of the Warrant (or certificate therefor) and payment of such Warrant Price as aforesaid, or after "cashless" or "net issue" exercise, the Company shall, within five (5) business days, issue and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder, and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, certificate or certificates for the number of full Shares so purchased upon the exercise of the Warrant, together with cash, as provided in Section 8 hereof, with respect to any fractional Shares otherwise issuable upon such surrender and the cash, property and other securities to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.
