Warrant.

of Warrant Shares.

of
the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common
Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which

9. Certain
Adjustments.
The
Exercise Price of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is
subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section
9.
4
(a) Stock
Dividends and Splits.
If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock
dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class
of
capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii)
combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction
of
which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any
adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause
(ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the
effective date of such subdivision or combination.
(b) Fundamental
Transactions.
If, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding there is a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of
this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it
would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full
of this Warrant (the “Alternate
Consideration”).
For
purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall
be
appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the
amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common
Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the
Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the
securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it
receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. At the Holder's option and request, any successor to the Company
or
surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall, either (1) issue to
the
Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent
with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to purchase
the
Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof,
or (2) purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in
cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective
date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes value of the
remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request.
The
terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected
shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply
with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and insuring that the Warrant (or
any
such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent
transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
(c) Subsequent
Equity Sales.
(i) If
the
Company at any time prior to the one year anniversary of the Original Issue
Date, shall issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling
any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than
the
Purchase Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent
so
issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments,
reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise,
or due to warrants, options or rights issued in connection with such issuance,
be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Purchase
Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise
Price), then, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal a lower price that
is
defined as follows:
5
(ii) The
qualifying price per share that is below the Purchase Price times two. For
example, if a sale of stock occurs 9 months after the OID at $0.04 per share,
the Exercise Price would be adjusted to $0.08 per share for all unexercised
warrants. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing,
no
later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalent subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable
issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price
and other pricing terms.
(iii) For
purposes of this subsection 9(c), the following subsections (c)(ii)(l) to
(c)(ii)(6) shall also be applicable:
(1) Issuance
of Rights or Options.
In case
at any time the Company shall in any manner grant (directly and not by
assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to subscribe
for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any
stock or security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such
warrants, rights or options being called “Options”
and such
convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being called “Convertible
Securities”)
whether
or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible
Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common
Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion
or
exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (i) the sum
(which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total
amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for
the
granting of such Options, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional
consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options,
plus
(z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the
aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue
or
sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof,
by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be
less
than the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting
of such Options, then the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total amount
of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall
be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of
granting of such Options or the issuance of such Convertible Securities and
thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the
Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 9(c)(ii)(3), no
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such
Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options
or
upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities.
6
(2) Issuance
of Convertible Securities.
In case
the Company shall in any manner issue (directly and not by assumption in a
merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the
rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately
exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon
such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum
shall
constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount received or
receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such
Convertible Securities, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange
thereof, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than
the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or
sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to
have been issued for such price per share as of the date of the issue or sale
of
such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding
for
purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price, provided that (a) except as otherwise
provided in subsection 9(c)(ii)(3), no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall
be
made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange
of such Convertible Securities and (b) no further adjustment of the Exercise
Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities
upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for
which adjustments of the Exercise Price have been made pursuant to the other
provisions of subsection 9(c).
(3) Change
in Option Price or Conversion Rate.
Upon
the happening of any of the following events, namely, if the purchase price
provided for in any Option referred to in subsection 9(c)(ii)(l) hereof, the
additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of
any
Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 9(c)(ii)(l) or 9(c)(ii)(2),
or
the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 9(c)(ii)(l)
or 9(c)(ii)(2) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall
change at any time (including, but not limited to, changes under or by reason
of
provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Exercise Price in effect
at the time of such event shall forthwith be readjusted to the Exercise Price
which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible
Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price,
additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold. On the termination of any Option for which
any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 9(c) or any right to convert
or exchange Convertible Securities for which any adjustment was made pursuant
to
this subsection 9(c) (including without limitation upon the redemption or
purchase for consideration of such Convertible Securities by the Company),
the
Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed to the
Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such termination
had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately
prior to such termination, never been issued.
(4) Stock
Dividends.
Subject
to the provisions of this Section 9(c), in case the Company shall declare a
dividend or make any other distribution upon any stock of the Company (other
than the Common Stock) payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the
case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be
deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration.
7
(5) Consideration
for Stock.
In case
any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued
or
sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the
net
amount received by the Company therefor, after deduction therefrom of any
expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed
by the Company in connection therewith. In case any shares of Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration
other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by
the
Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, after deduction of
any
expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed
by the Company in connection therewith. In case any Options shall be issued
in
connection with the issue and sale of other securities of the Company, together
comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is
allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed
to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company. If Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities shall be issued or sold by the Company and, in connection therewith,
other Options or Convertible Securities (the “Additional
Rights”)
are
issued, then the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company
shall be reduced by the fair market value of the Additional Rights (as
determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or another method as
may
be determined by the Company).
(6) Record
Date.
In case
the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe
for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such
record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares
of
Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such
dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting
of
such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(iv) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no issuances of Additional Shares will be made under this Section
as a result of: (i) the issuance of Warrant Shares, (ii) the issuance of
securities upon the exercise or conversion of any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents issued by the Company prior to the date hereof or any amendments,
modifications or re-issuances thereof, (iii) the grant of options or warrants,
or the issuance of additional securities, under any duly authorized Company
stock option, restricted stock plan or stock purchase plan whether now existing
or approved by the Company and its stockholders in the future, (iv) shares
of
Common Stock (including any shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of Common
Stock Equivalents) issued or issuable as part of an equity line with Dutchess
Capital Management up to $10 million, (v) shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock
Equivalents issued in connection with Strategic Transactions, (vi) the grant
of
options and warrants to consultants for bona fide consulting services as
approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, or (vii) shares of Common Stock
issued pursuant to Rule 144 at a price equal to or greater than 80% of the
Purchase Price. For purposes of this Agreement “Common Stock Equivalents” shall
mean any securities of the Company which entitle the holder thereof to acquire
Common Stock at any time, including without limitation, any debt, preferred
stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time
convertible into or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof
to receive, Common Stock or other securities that entitle the holder to receive,
directly or indirectly, Common Stock.
8
(v)
This
Section 9 (c) is no longer applicable once the warrant has been
exercised.
10. Payment
of Exercise Price.
The
Holder may pay the Exercise Price in cash by delivering to the Company
immediately available funds.
11. No
Fractional Shares.
No
fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any
exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would,
otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such
fraction multiplied by the closing price of one Warrant Share as reported by
the
applicable Trading Market on the date of exercise.
12. Notices.
Any and
all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without
limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given
