two warrants (“Warrant(s)”) expiring five years from the effective date
(“Effective Date”) of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1
(“Registration Statement”) pursuant to which Units are offered for sale to the
public (“Offering”). Each Warrant is the same as the warrant included in the
Units being registered for sale to the public by way of the Registration
Statement (“Public Warrants”) except that the Warrants included in the Purchase
Option have an exercise price of $6.25 per share (125% of the exercise price
of
the Public Warrants), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6 hereof.
If
the Expiration Date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by

to close, then this Purchase Option may be exercised on the next succeeding
day
which is not such a day in accordance with the terms herein. During the period
ending on the Expiration Date, the Company agrees not to take any action that
would terminate the Purchase Option. This Purchase Option is initially
exercisable at $7.50 per Unit (125% of the price of the Units sold in the
Offering) so purchased; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any
of
the events specified in Section 6 hereof, the rights granted by this Purchase
Option, including the exercise price per Unit and the number of Units (and
shares of Common Stock and Warrants) to be received upon such exercise, shall
be
adjusted as therein specified. The term “Exercise Price” shall mean the initial
exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending on the
context.

2. Exercise.
2.1
Exercise
Form.
In
order to exercise this Purchase Option, the exercise form attached hereto must
be duly executed and completed and delivered to the Company, together with
this
Purchase Option and payment of the Exercise Price for the Units being purchased
payable in cash or by certified check or official bank check. If the
subscription rights represented hereby shall not be exercised at or before
5:00
p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date this Purchase Option shall become
and
be void without further force or effect, and all rights represented hereby
shall
cease and expire.
2.2
Legend.
Each
certificate for the securities purchased under this Purchase Option shall bear
a
legend as follows unless such securities have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”):
“The
securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”) or applicable state law. The
securities may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, or pursuant
to an
exemption from registration under the Act and applicable state
law.”
2.3
Cashless
Exercise.
2.3.1 Determination
of Amount.
In lieu
of the payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Units for
which
this Purchase Option is exercisable (and in lieu of being entitled to receive
Common Stock and Warrants) in the manner required by Section 2.1, the Holder
shall have the right (but not the obligation) to convert any exercisable but
unexercised portion of this Purchase Option into Units (“Conversion Right”) as
follows: upon exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall deliver to
the
Holder (without payment by the Holder of any of the Exercise Price in cash)
that
number of Units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the “Value” (as
defined below) of the portion of the Purchase Option being converted by (y)
the
Current Market Price (as defined below) of a Unit. The “Value” of the portion of
the Purchase Option being converted shall equal the remainder derived from
subtracting (a) (i) the Exercise Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Units
underlying the portion of this Purchase Option being converted from (b) the
Current Market Price of a Unit multiplied by the number of Units underlying
the
portion of the Purchase Option being converted. The “Current Market Price” of a
Unit shall mean (i) if the Unit is listed on a national securities exchange
or
quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or NASD OTC
Bulletin Board (or successor such as the Bulletin Board Exchange), the average
closing price of a Unit for thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding
the
date of determination of the Current Market Price in the principal trading
market for the Unit as reported by the exchange, Nasdaq or the NASD, as the
case
may be; (ii) if the Unit is not listed on a national securities exchange or
quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the NASD OTC
Bulletin Board (or successor such as the Bulletin Board Exchange), but is traded
in the residual over-the-counter market, the closing bid price for the Unit
on
the last trading day preceding the date in question for which such quotations
are reported by the Pink Sheets, LLC or similar publisher of such quotations;
and (iii) if the fair market value of the Unit cannot be determined pursuant
to
clause (i) or (ii) above, such price as the Board of Directors of the Company
(the “Board”) shall determine, in good faith.
2
2.3.2 Mechanics
of Cashless Exercise.
The
Cashless Exercise Right may be exercised by the Holder on any business day
on or
after the Commencement Date and not later than the Expiration Date by delivering
the Purchase Option with a duly executed exercise form attached hereto with
the
cashless exercise section completed to the Company, exercising the Cashless
Exercise Right and specifying the total number of Units the Holder will purchase
pursuant to such Cashless Exercise Right.
3. Transfer.

The
registered Holder of this Purchase Option agrees that it will not sell,
transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate this Purchase Option for a period of
one
year following the Effective Date to anyone other than (i) Xxxxxx or an
underwriter or a selected dealer participating in the Offering, or (ii) a bona
fide officer or partner of Xxxxxx or of any such underwriter or selected dealer.
On and after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, transfers to others

together with the Purchase Option and payment of all transfer taxes, if any,
payable in connection therewith. The Company shall within five business days

and
deliver a new Purchase Option or Purchase Options of like tenor to the
appropriate assignee(s) expressly evidencing the right to purchase the aggregate
number of Units purchasable hereunder or such portion of such number as shall
be
contemplated by any such assignment.
3.2 Restrictions
Imposed by the Act.
The
securities evidenced by this Purchase Option shall not be transferred unless
and
until (i) the Company has received the opinion of counsel for the Holder that
the securities may be transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Act and applicable state securities laws, the availability of which
is
established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company (the Company hereby
agreeing that the opinion of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx LLP shall be deemed satisfactory
evidence of the availability of an exemption), or (ii) a registration statement
or a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement relating to the
offer and sale of such securities has been filed by the Company and declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and compliance with
applicable state securities law has been established.

4. New
Purchase Options to be Issued.
4.1 Partial
Exercise or Transfer.
Subject
to the restrictions in Section 3 hereof, this Purchase Option may be exercised
or assigned in whole or in part. In the event of the exercise or assignment
hereof in part only, upon surrender of this Purchase Option for cancellation,
together with the duly executed exercise or assignment form and funds sufficient
to pay any Exercise Price and/or transfer tax if exercised pursuant to Section
2.1 hereto, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder without charge
a new Purchase Option of like tenor to this Purchase Option in the name of
the
Holder evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the number of Units
purchasable hereunder as to which this Purchase Option has not been exercised
or
assigned.
4.2 Lost
Certificate.
Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Purchase Option and of reasonably satisfactory
indemnification or the posting of a bond, the Company shall execute and deliver
a new Purchase Option of like tenor and date. Any such new Purchase Option
executed and delivered as a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or
destruction shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation on the part
of
the Company.
5.
Registration
Rights.
5.1
Demand
Registration.
5.1.1 Grant
of Right.
The
Company, upon written demand (“Demand Notice”) of the Holder(s) of at least 51%
of the Purchase Options and/or the underlying Units and/or the underlying
securities (“Majority Holders”), agrees to register on one occasion, all or any
portion of the Common Stock, the Warrants and the Common Stock underlying the
Warrants underlying such Purchase Options (collectively, the “Registrable
Securities”) as requested by the Majority Holders in the Demand Notice, provided
that no such registration will be required unless the Holders request
registration of an aggregate of at least 51% of the outstanding Registrable
Securities. On such occasion, the Company will file a new registration statement
or a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement covering the
Registrable Securities within sixty days after receipt of the Demand Notice
and
use its best efforts to have such registration statement or post-effective
amendment declared effective as soon as possible thereafter. The demand for
registration may be made at any time during a period of four years beginning
on
the first anniversary of the Effective Date. The Company covenants and agrees
to
give written notice of its receipt of any Demand Notice by any Holder(s) to
all
other registered Holders of the Purchase Options and/or the Registrable
Securities within ten days from the date of the receipt of any such Demand
Notice, who shall have five days from the receipt of such Notice in which to
notify the Company of their desire to have their Registrable Securities included
in the Registration Statement.
4
5.1.2 Terms.
The
Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the
Registrable Securities, including the reasonable expenses of any legal counsel
selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the
Registrable Securities, but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting
commissions, if any. The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable
efforts to qualify or register the Registrable Securities in such States as
are
reasonably requested by the Majority Holder(s); provided, however, that in
no
event shall the Company be required to register the Registrable Securities
in a
State in which such registration would cause (i) the Company to be obligated
to
qualify to do business in such State or execute a general consent to service
of
process, or would subject the Company to taxation as a foreign corporation
doing
business in such jurisdiction or (ii) the principal stockholders of the Company
to be obligated to escrow their shares of capital stock of the Company. The
Company shall cause any registration statement or post-effective amendment
filed
pursuant to the demand rights granted under Section 5.1.1 to remain effective
for a period of nine consecutive months from the effective date of such
registration statement or post-effective amendment or until the Holders have
completed the distribution of the Registrable Securities included in the
Registration Statement, whichever occurs first.
5.1.3. Deferred
Filing.
If (i)
in the good faith judgment of the Board, filing a registration statement
pursuant to Section 5.1 would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the
Board concludes, as a result, that it is essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement at such time, and (ii) the Company shall furnish to
such
Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in
the
good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the
Company for such registration statement to be filed in the near future and
that
it is, therefore, essential to defer the filing of such registration statement,
then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing on two occasions
for
an aggregate of not more than one hundred and twenty (120) days in any
twelve-month period.
5.1.4.
No
Cash Settlement Option.
The
Company shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any
Registrable Securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure
to deliver any such securities, if the Registration Statement is not effective
or does not contain a prospectus meeting the requirements of Rule 427 under
the
Act at the time of exercise. The failure or inability of the Company to
maintain the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement and a current prospectus shall not in any way prevent the
expiration of this Purchase Option on the Expiration Date. Additionally, in
no
event is the Company obligated to settle this Purchase Option
or any
Registrable Securities in whole or in part, for cash.
5.2
“Piggy-Back”
Registration.
5.2.1 Grant
of Right.
In
addition to the demand right of registration, the Holders of the Purchase
Options shall have the right for a period of seven years commencing on the
Effective Date, to include the Registrable Securities as part of any other
registration of securities filed by the Company (other than in connection with
a
transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) promulgated under the Act or pursuant
to
Form S-8 or any successor or equivalent form); provided, however, that if,
in
the written opinion of the Company’s managing underwriter or underwriters, if
any, for such offering, the inclusion of the Registrable Securities, when added
to the securities being registered by the Company or the selling stockholder(s),
will exceed the maximum amount of the Company’s securities which can be marketed
(i) at a price reasonably related to their then current market value, and (ii)
without materially and adversely affecting the entire offering, then the Company
will still be required to include the Registrable Securities, but may require
the Holders to agree, in writing, to delay the sale of all or any portion of
the
Registrable Securities for a period of 90 days from the effective date of the
offering, provided, further, that if the sale of any Registrable Securities
is
so delayed, then the number of securities to be sold by all stockholders in
such
public offering shall be apportioned pro rata among all such selling
stockholders, including all holders of the Registrable Securities, according
to
the total amount of securities of the Company owned by said selling
stockholders, including all holders of the Registrable Securities.
5
5.2.2 Terms.
The
Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the
Registrable Securities, including the expenses of any legal counsel selected
by
the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable
Securities, but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting commissions.
In
the event of such a proposed registration, the Company shall furnish the then
Holders of outstanding Registrable Securities with not less than ten days
written notice prior to the proposed date of filing of such registration
statement. Such notice to the Holders shall continue to be given for each
applicable registration statement filed (during the period in which the Purchase
Option is exercisable) by the Company until such time as all of the Registrable
Securities have been registered and sold. The holders of the Registrable
Securities shall exercise the “piggy back” rights provided for herein by giving
written notice, within ten days of the receipt of the Company’s notice of its
intention to file a registration statement. The Company shall cause any
registration statement filed pursuant to the above “piggyback” rights that does
not relate to a firm commitment underwritten offering to remain effective for
at
least nine consecutive months from the effective date of such registration
statement or until the Holders have completed the distribution of the
Registrable Securities in the registration statement, whichever occurs
first.
5.3
Damages.
Intentionally
omitted.
5.4
General
Terms.
5.4.1 Indemnification.
The
Company shall indemnify the Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold
pursuant to any registration statement hereunder and each person, if any, who
controls such Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section
20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”),
against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against litigation, commenced or threatened, or any
claim
whatsoever) to which any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange
Act or otherwise, arising from such registration statement but only to the
same
extent and with the same effect as the provisions pursuant to which the Company
has agreed to indemnify the underwriters contained in Section 5 of the
Underwriting Agreement in the Offering. The Holder(s) of the Registrable
Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration statement, and their
successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company,
its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange
Act, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which
they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising
from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their successors
or assigns, in writing, for specific inclusion in such registration statement
to
the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions contained in Section
5 of the Underwriting Agreement pursuant to which the underwriters have agreed
to indemnify the Company.
6
5.4.2 Exercise
of Purchase Options.
Nothing
contained in this Purchase Option shall be construed as requiring the Holder(s)
to exercise their Purchase Options or Warrants underlying such Purchase Options
prior to or after the initial filing of any registration statement or the
effectiveness thereof; provided however, that if the Company shall exercise
its
right to redeem the Public Warrants, the Holders shall, on or prior to the
date
fixed for such redemption, exercise this Unit Purchase Option in
full.
5.4.3 Documents
Delivered to Holders.
The
Company shall furnish Xxxxxx, as representative of the Holders participating
in
any of the foregoing offerings, a signed counterpart, addressed to the
participating Holders, of (i) an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated the
effective date of such registration statement (or, if such registration includes
an underwritten public offering, an opinion dated the date of the closing under
any underwriting agreement related thereto), and (ii) a “cold comfort” letter
dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such
registration includes an underwritten public offering, a letter dated the date
of the closing under the underwriting agreement) signed by the independent
public accountants who have issued a report on the Company’s financial
statements included in such registration statement, in each case covering
substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement
(and
the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of such accountants’ letter,
with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements,
as
are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’
letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of
securities; provided
however,
that in
the case of an underwritten offering, the provisions of the underwriting
agreement described in Section 5.4.4 shall control. The Company shall also
deliver promptly to Xxxxxx, as representative of the Holders participating
in
the offering, the correspondence and memoranda described below and copies of
all
correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors
and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff
with
respect to the registration statement and permit Xxxxxx, as representative
of
the Holders, to do such investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with
respect to information contained in or omitted from the registration statement
as it deems reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities laws
or
rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”). Such
investigation shall include access to books, records and properties and
opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and
independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable
times
and as often as Xxxxxx, as representative of the Holders, shall reasonably
request. The Company shall not be required to disclose any confidential
information or other records to Xxxxxx, as representative of the Holders, or
to
any other person, until and unless such persons shall have entered into
confidentiality agreements (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the
Company) with the Company with respect thereto.
7
5.4.4 Underwriting
Agreement.
The
Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with the managing
underwriter(s), if any, selected by any Holders whose Registrable Securities
are
being registered pursuant to this Section 5, which managing underwriter shall
be
reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such agreement shall be reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, each Holder and such managing
underwriters, and shall contain such representations, warranties and covenants
by the Company and such other terms as are customarily contained in agreements
of that type used by the managing underwriter. The Holders shall be parties
to
any underwriting agreement relating to an underwritten sale of their Registrable
Securities and may, at their option, require that any or all the
representations, warranties and covenants of the Company to or for the benefit
of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders.
Such Holders shall not be required to make any representations or warranties
to
or agreements with the Company or the underwriters except as they may relate
to
such Holders and their intended methods of distribution or as are customarily
required of selling shareholders in a firm commitment underwritten offering.
Such Holders, however, shall agree to such covenants and indemnification and
contribution obligations for selling stockholders as are customarily contained
in agreements of that type used by the managing underwriter. Further, such
Holders shall execute appropriate custody agreements and otherwise cooperate
fully in the preparation of the registration statement and other documents
relating to any offering in which they include securities pursuant to this
Section 5. Each Holder shall also furnish to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method
of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect
the
registration of the Registrable Securities.
5.4.5 Rule
144 Sale.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5 to the contrary, the
Company shall have no obligation pursuant to Sections 5.1 or 5.2 for the
registration of Registrable Securities held by any Holder, where such Holder
would then be entitled to sell under Rule 144 within any three-month period
(or
such other period prescribed under Rule 144 as may be provided by amendment
thereof) all of the Registrable Securities then held by such
Holder.
5.4.6 Supplemental
Prospectus.
Each
Holder agrees, that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening
of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact
or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
existing, or that would otherwise require disclosure of material nonpublic
information that, if disclosed at such time, would be materially harmful to
the
Company, such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable
Securities until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of a supplemental or
amended prospectus, or the public disclosure and dissemination of such
information, as the case may be, and, if so desired by the Company, such Holder
shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and
deliver to the Company a certificate of such destruction) all copies, other
than
permanent file copies then in such Xxxxxx’s possession, of the prospectus
covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such
notice.
8
6. Adjustments.
6.1 Adjustments
to Exercise Price and Number of Securities.
The
Exercise Price and the number of Units underlying the Purchase Option shall
be
subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:
6.1.1 Stock
Dividends; Split Ups.
If
after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 below,
the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend
payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split up of shares of Common Stock
or
other similar event, then, on the effective day thereof, the number of shares
of
Common Stock underlying each of the Units purchasable hereunder shall be
increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares. In such case,
the number of shares of Common Stock, and the exercise price applicable thereto,
underlying the Warrants underlying each of the Units purchasable hereunder
shall
be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement governing
the
Warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”). For example, if the Company declares a
two-for-one stock dividend and at the time of such dividend this Purchase Option
is for the purchase of one Unit at $7.50 per whole Unit (the Warrant underlying
the Units is exercisable for $6.25 per share), upon effectiveness of the
dividend, this Purchase Option will be adjusted to allow for the purchase of
one
Unit at $7.50 per Unit, each Unit entitling the holder to receive two shares
of
Common Stock and four Warrants (each Warrant exercisable for $3.125 per
share).
6.1.2 Aggregation
of Shares.
If
after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.3, the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation,
combination or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar
event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common
Stock
underlying each of the Units purchasable hereunder shall be decreased in
proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares. In such case, the number
of
shares of Common Stock, and the exercise price applicable thereto, underlying
the Warrants underlying each of the Units purchasable hereunder shall be
adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.
6.1.3 Replacement
of Securities upon Reorganization, etc.
In case
of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock other than a change covered by Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 hereof or that
solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock, or in the case
of
any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation
(other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or
conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company
as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company
is
dissolved, the Holder of this Purchase Option shall have the right thereafter
(until the expiration of the right of exercise of this Purchase Option) to
receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable
hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of
stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such
reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution
following any such sale or transfer, by a Holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Purchase Option
and
the underlying Warrants immediately prior to such event; and if any
reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered
by
Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections
6.1.1, 6.1.2 and this Section 6.1.3. The provisions of this Section 6.1.3 shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or
consolidations, sales or other transfers.
9
6.1.4 Changes
in Form of Purchase Option.
This
form of Purchase Option need not be changed because of any change pursuant
to
this Section, and Purchase Options issued after such change may state the same
Exercise Price and the same number of Units as are stated in the Purchase
Options initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. The acceptance by any
Holder of the issuance of new Purchase Options reflecting a required or
permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any rights to an adjustment
occurring after the Commencement Date or the computation thereof.
6.2 Substitute
Purchase Option.
In case
of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or
into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result
in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock), the
corporation formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver
to
the Holder a supplemental Purchase Option providing that the holder of each
Purchase Option then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right
thereafter (until the stated expiration of such Purchase Option) to receive,
upon exercise of such Purchase Option, the kind and amount of shares of stock
and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or merger,
by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company for which
such Purchase Option might have been exercised immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such supplemental Purchase Option
shall
provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided
in
Section 6. The above provision of this Section shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations or mergers.
6.3 Elimination
of Fractional Interests.
The
Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions
of
shares of Common Stock or Warrants upon the exercise of the Purchase Option,
nor
shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of any fractional
interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests
shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number
of
Warrants, shares of Common Stock or other securities, properties or
rights.
7. Reservation
and Listing.
The
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of
the
Purchase Options or the Warrants underlying the Purchase Option, such number
of
shares of Common Stock or other securities, properties or rights as shall be
