Warrant.
2.1 Manner of Exercise.
From and after the date of issuance hereof and until 5:00 P.M., New York time,
on the Expiration Date (the “Exercise Period”), the Holder may exercise this
Warrant, on any Business Day, for all or any part of the number of shares of
Warrant Stock purchasable hereunder.
In order
to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Holder shall deliver to the
Company at its principal office or at the office or agency designated by the
Company pursuant to Section 12, (i) a written notice of Xxxxxx’s
election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of
shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased, (ii) payment of the Warrant Price
as provided herein, and (iii) upon exercise of this Warrant in full, this
Warrant. Such notice shall be substantially in the form of the subscription form
appearing at the end of this Warrant as Exhibit A, duly
executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon receipt thereof, the
Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three
Business Days thereafter, electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon
exercise hereof to the Holder, by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime
broker with Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system using the Fast Automated Securities Transfer
(“FAST”) program. The parties agree to coordinate with DTC to accomplish this
objective. In lieu of such electronic delivery through DWAC, the Company shall,
to the extent requested by the Holder or required by law, execute or cause to be
executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of Warrant Stock
issuable upon exercise hereof. The time periods for delivery of physical
certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares are the same as those described
above. Any stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be, to the
extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the Holder shall
request in the notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or such
other name as shall be designated in the notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to
have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have
been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named
therein shall be deemed to have become a Holder of record of such shares for all
purposes, as of the date when the notice to exercise is received by the Company
as described above. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the
Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Stock, if not effected using book entry as described below,
deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to
purchase the unpurchased shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant,
which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or
at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant
and the same returned to the Holder.
-4-
Payment
of the Warrant Price may be made at the option of the Holder by:
(i) certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company,
(ii) wire transfer to the account of the Company or (iii) the
surrender and cancellation of a portion of shares of Common Stock then held by
the Holder or issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant, which shall be valued
and credited toward the total Warrant Price due the Company for the exercise of
the Warrant based upon the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. All shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms
hereof shall be validly issued and, upon payment of the Warrant Price, shall be
fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to any preemptive
rights.
Book-Entry.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon exercise of any
portion of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the warrantholder
shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless
such holder is purchasing the full amount of Warrant Shares represented by this
Warrant. The warrantholder and the Company shall maintain records showing the
number of Warrant Shares so purchased hereunder and the dates of such purchases
or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the warrantholder and
the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Warrant upon each
such exercise. In connection therewith a form of ledger to maintain a record of
such transactions is attached hereto. The warrantholder and any assignee, by
acceptance of this Warrant or a new Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by
reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following exercise of any portion of
this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon exercise
of this Warrant may be less than the number of Warrant Shares set forth on the
face hereof.
2.2 Fractional Shares.
The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional share of Common Stock
upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder of
one or more Warrants, the rights under which are exercised in the same
transaction, would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the
Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Price per share
of Common Stock on the date of exercise multiplied by such
fraction.
2.3 Continued Validity. A
Holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, in
whole or in part (other than a Holder who acquires such shares after the same
have been publicly sold pursuant to a Registration Statement under the
Securities Act or sold pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder), shall continue to be
entitled with respect to such shares to all rights to which it would have been
entitled as the Holder under Sections 10 and 13 of this
Warrant.
-5-
2.4 Restrictions on Exercise
Amount. In the event the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of
Warrant Stock as a result of any restrictions or prohibitions under applicable
law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation
system or other self-regulatory organization, the Company shall as soon as
practicable seek the approval of its stockholders and take such other action to
authorize the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon full exercise of this Warrant but in any event the Board of Directors shall
call a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company in the manner set
forth in the By-laws of the Company to be held within ninety (90) days
following the inception of such occurrence, which inception shall occur at such
time as the Company is not able to honor the full exercise of all outstanding
Warrants due to such law, rule or regulation, whether or not any such conversion
or exercise is actually attempted.
3. Transfer, Division and
Combination.
3.1 Transfer. The
Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall be freely transferable, subject to
compliance with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to the
Securities Act. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection
with any transfer of this Warrant or the resale of the Warrant Stock, this
Warrant or the Warrant Stock, as applicable, shall not be registered under the
Securities Act, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such
transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant or the Warrant
Stock as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel
that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such transfer
may be made without registration under the Securities Act, (ii) that the
Holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, and (iii) that the
transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated
under the Securities Act. Transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in
whole or in part, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, shall be
registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon
surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company referred to in
Section 2.1 or the office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to
Section 12, together with a written assignment of this Warrant
substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto duly
executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender
and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver
a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the
denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the
assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned,
and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Following a transfer that complies
with the requirements of this Section 3.1, the Warrant may be exercised by
a new Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock regardless of whether
the Company issued or registered a new Warrant on the books of the Company. In
connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the Holder or transferee of this
Warrant shall reimburse the Company for its reasonable out of pocket costs in
connection with such transfer (including without limitation the reasonable
attorneys fees for preparing and filing any prospectus supplement with the SEC
and/or delivering an updated opinion letter to the Seller’s transfer
agent).

3.2 Restrictive Legends.
Each certificate for Warrant Stock initially issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant, and each certificate for Warrant Stock issued to any subsequent
transferee of any such certificate, unless, in each case, such Warrant Stock is
registered under the Securities Act or is eligible for resale without
registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, shall be stamped or
otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED OR
TRANSFERRED, IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID
ACT OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT IS NOT
REQUIRED.”
3.3 Division and Combination;
Expenses; Books. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other
Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office or agency of the
Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations
in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or
attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 3.1 as to any transfer which
may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and
deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be
divided or combined in accordance with such notice. The Company shall prepare,
issue and deliver at its own expense the new Warrant or Warrants under this
Section 3. The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or
agency, books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the
Warrants.
4. Adjustments. The
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the

The Company shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which
requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with
Sections 5.1 and 5.2.
4.1 Stock Dividends,
Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding the Company shall:
(a) declare
a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in
shares of Common Stock,
(b) subdivide
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common
Stock, or
(c) combine
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock, then:
(i) the
number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal
the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of
shares of Common Stock that would have been acquirable under this Warrant
immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution or the
effective date of such subdivision or combination would own or be entitled to
receive after such record date or the effective date of such subdivision or
combination, as applicable, and
-7-
(ii) the
Current Warrant Price shall be adjusted to equal:
(A) the
Current Warrant Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend
or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision or combination,
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment, divided by
(B) the
number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately after such adjustment.
Any
adjustment made pursuant to clause (a) 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 clauses (b) or (c) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination.
4.2 [Reserved.]

4.4 Other Provisions Applicable
to Adjustments. The following provisions shall be applicable to the
making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this
Warrant is exercisable and the Current Warrant Price provided for in
Section 4:
(a) When Adjustments to Be
Made. The adjustments required by Section 4 shall be made whenever
and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur. For the
purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred
at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(b) Fractional Interests.
In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in
Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/100th of a
share.
(c) When Adjustment Not
Required. If the Company undertakes a transaction contemplated under
this
Section 4 and as a result takes a record of the holders of its Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or
subscription or purchase rights or other benefits contemplated under this
Section 4 and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders
thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution,
subscription or purchase rights or other benefits contemplated under this
Section 4, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the
taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof
shall be rescinded and annulled.
-8-
(d) Escrow of Stock. If
after any property becomes distributable pursuant to Section 4 by reason of
the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock, but prior to the
occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, a holder of this Warrant
exercises the Warrant during such time, then such holder shall continue to be
entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereunder
by reason of such adjustment and such shares or other property shall be held in
escrow for the holder of this Warrant by the Company to be issued to holder of
this Warrant upon and to the extent that the event actually takes place.
Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event for
which such record was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed
shares shall be canceled by the Company and escrowed property returned to the
Company.
4.5 Reorganization,
Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of
Assets.
(a) If
there shall occur a Change of Control and, pursuant to the terms of such Change
of Control, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or
any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature
whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in
addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation
(“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of
Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder of this Warrant shall have the
right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise of the Warrant, the number of
shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the
Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and the Other Property receivable
upon or as a result of such Change of Control by a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior
to such event.
(b) In
case of any such Change of Control described in Section 4.5(a) above, the
resulting, successor or acquiring entity (if other than the Company) and, if an
entity different from the successor or acquiring entity, the entity whose
capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive
as a result of such Change of Control, shall expressly assume the due and
punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition
contained in this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all
the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may
be deemed appropriate (as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of
the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of the Common Stock
into which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 4. For purposes of
Section 4, common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation shall
include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to
dividends or assets on liquidation over any other class of stock of such
corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any
evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are
convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon
the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any
warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The
foregoing provisions of this Section 4 shall similarly apply to successive
Change of Control transactions.
4.6 [Reserved.]
4.7 Certain Limitations.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees not to enter
into any transaction which, by reason of any adjustment hereunder, would cause
the Current Warrant Price to be less than the par value per share of Common
Stock.

4.8 Stock Transfer Taxes.
The issue of stock certificates upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made
without charge to the holder for any tax in respect of such issue. The Company
shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares in any name other
than that of the holder of this Warrant, and the Company shall not be required
to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the person or
persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount
of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that
such tax has been paid.
5. Notices to Warrant
Holders.
5.1 Certificate as to
Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of
the Current Warrant Price, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute
such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare

by such Holder.

Action. If at any time:
(a) the
Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them to receive a dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out
of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends
under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company) or other
distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its
indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or
property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) there
shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or
merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another
corporation,
(c) there
shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the Company, or
(d) the
Company shall cause the holders of its Common Stock to be entitled to receive
(i) any dividend or other distribution of cash, (ii) any evidences of
its indebtedness, or (iii) any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever (other than cash or
additional shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 4.1 hereof); or
(iv) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any
evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever;
-10-
then, in
any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the Holder (i) at
least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be
selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to
vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification,

and the amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,

other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to exercise and payment for
the Warrant Price in accordance with the terms hereof.
6. No Impairment. The
Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its
articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.

increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the

jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its

at all times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants
such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be
sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. All
shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of
any Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant,
shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not
subject to preemptive rights. Before taking any action which would cause an
adjustment reducing the Current Warrant Price below the then par value, if any,
of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the
Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of
such Common Stock at such adjusted Current Warrant Price. Before taking any
action which would result in an adjustment in the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Current Warrant Price, the
Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents
thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for
issuance upon exercise of Warrants require registration or qualification with
any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may
be so issued (other than as a result of a prior or contemplated distribution by
the Holder of this Warrant), the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously
as possible and at its expense endeavor to cause such shares to be duly
registered.
8. Taking of Record; Stock and
Warrant Transfer Books. In the case of all dividends or other
distributions by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock with respect to
which any provision of Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such
holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record and will take
such record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The Company will not
at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company,
close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to result in
preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.
9. [Reserved.]
10. RWW Strategic
Transaction. The Holder hereby waives
any rights, including, without limitation, any rights under this Warrant that
existed prior to its amendment and restatement hereby, arising as a result of or
in connection with (i) any failures by the Company to comply with any of the
provisions of this Warrant prior to the date hereof; or (ii) the acquisition by
the Company of Rand Worldwide, Inc. (“RWW”) in a reverse
merger transaction, pursuant to which the Company will issue shares of its
Common Stock to the sole stockholder of RWW, and the other transactions
contemplated thereby.
11. Loss or Mutilation.
Upon receipt by the Company from the Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant and indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it and
reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto and
in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will
execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor to the Holder;
provided, however, that in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be
required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for
cancellation.
12. Office of the
Company. As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company
shall maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices
of the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration
of transfer, division or combination as provided in this
Warrant.

consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of
such quarter, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income,
retained earnings and cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries for such
quarter and, in the case of the second and third quarters, for the portion of
the fiscal year ending with such quarter, setting forth in each case in
comparative form the figures for the corresponding periods in the previous

executive officer or chief financial officer that such financial statements
present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and
cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of such quarter and
for such year-to-date period, as the case may be; provided, however, that the
Company shall have no obligation to deliver such quarterly information under

earnings and cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries for such year;
setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding

which audited financial statements shall be accompanied by an opinion thereon of
the independent certified public accountants regularly retained by the Company,
or any other firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized
national standing selected by the Company; provided, however, that the Company
shall have no obligation to deliver such annual information under this
Section 13.2 to the extent it is publicly available; and provided further,
that if such information contains material non-public information, the Company
shall so notify the Holder prior to delivery thereof and the Holder shall have
the right to refuse delivery of such information.
13.3 Filings. The Company
will file on or before the required date all regular or periodic reports
(pursuant to the Exchange Act) with the Commission and will deliver to Holder
promptly upon their becoming available one copy of each report, notice or proxy
statement sent by the Company to its stockholders generally.
14. Limitation of
Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by
the Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the
rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of
the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock, whether such liability is
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
-13-
15. Miscellaneous.
15.1 Nonwaiver and
Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any
right hereunder on the part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver of such
right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. If the Company
fails to make, when due, any payments provided for hereunder, or fails to comply
with any other provision of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder
such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any third party costs and expenses
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of
appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due
pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies
hereunder.
15.2 Notice Generally. All

this Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and

all Holders from time to time of this Warrant, and shall be enforceable by any
such Holder.

Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions of this Warrant waived with
the written consent of both the Company and the Holder.

Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be modified to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity,
without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
of this Warrant.
15.6 Headings. The
headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and
shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

accordance with the local laws of the State of New York without regard to the
