(subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise
price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however,

Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the respective meanings specified in Section 9 hereof.
1. Term.
The
term of this Warrant shall commence on June 12, 2007 and shall expire at 6:00

Method
of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and
Exchange.
(a) Time
of Exercise.
The
purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in
part
during the Term.
(b) Method
of Exercise.
The
Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by the surrender
of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the
principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount
of
consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of
such
exercise multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to
which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at such Holder's election
(i) by certified or official bank check or by
wire
transfer to an account designated by the Issuer,
(ii) by
"cashless exercise" in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of
this
Section 2, but only when a registration statement under the Securities
Act
-1-
providing
for the resale of the Warrant Stock is not then in effect, or (iii) by a
combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this
Warrant.
(c) Cashless
Exercise.
Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary and commencing one and
a
half (1.5) years following the Original Issue Date if (i) the Per Share Market
Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Price (at the
date of calculation as set forth below) and (ii) a registration statement under
the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is not then
in
effect by the date such registration statement is required to be effective
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement) or not effective at any time during the Effectiveness Period (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in accordance with the terms
of
the Registration Rights Agreement, unless the registration statement is not
effective as a result of the Issuer exercising its rights under Section 3(n)
of
the Registration Rights Agreement, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment
of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall
receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined
below) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer
together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Issuer
shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using
the
following formula:
X
= Y -
(A)(Y)
B
Where
|
X
=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder.
|
Y
=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all
of the
Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised,
the
portion of the Warrant being exercised.
|
A
=
|
the
Warrant Price.
|
B = |
the
Per Share Market Value of one share of Common
Stock.
|
(d) Issuance
of Stock Certificates.
In the
event of any exercise of this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so
purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder
hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after
such
exercise (the “Delivery
Date”)
or, at
the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the
Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect),
issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
System (“DWAC”)
within
a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise,
and
the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the
shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent
shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s
behalf via DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a sale and the
Issuer and its transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC
system.
The
Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an indemnification undertaking
with respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction,
at
such time that this Warrant is fully exercised. With respect to partial
exercises of this Warrant, the Issuer shall keep written records of the number
of shares of Warrant Stock exercised as of each date of
exercise.
-2-
(e) Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon
Exercise.
In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Stock pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery
Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase
(in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver
in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Stock which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”),
then
the Issuer shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the
Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (A) the number of shares of Warrant Stock that the Issuer was
required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue
times
(B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation
was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion
of the Warrant and equivalent number of shares of Warrant Stock for which such
exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued had the Issuer timely complied with its
exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with
an
aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under
clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Issuer shall be required
to
pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together
with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the
Issuer. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies
available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation,
a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the
Issuer’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
(f) Transferability
of Warrant.
Subject
to Section 2(h) hereof, this Warrant may be transferred by a Holder, in whole
or
in part, without the consent of the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this
paragraph, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the
Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this
Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder
executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any
necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer.
This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants
to purchase the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new
Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant
Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All
Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue
Date
and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares
of
Warrant Stock issuable pursuant thereto.
(g) Continuing
Rights of Xxxxxx.
The
Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after each exercise of this Warrant,
upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if
any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which
such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance
with
the terms of this Warrant, provided
that if
any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not
affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such
Holder.
(h) Compliance
with Securities Laws.
(i) The
Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant
and
the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are
being
-3-
acquired
solely for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other party,
and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise
dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon
exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or
an
exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws.
(ii) Except
as
provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates
representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be
stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
THIS
WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
(iii) The
Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the
Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to
making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice
to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such proposed
transfer will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has received
an
opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that
the
registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required in
connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under
the
Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Issuer
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become effective under
the
Securities Act and the Holder has represented that the Warrant Stock has been
or
will be sold, (iii) the Issuer has received other evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification under the
Securities Act and state securities laws are not required, or (iv) the Holder
provides the Issuer with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Issuer
has
received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the
effect that registration or qualification under the securities or "blue sky"
laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition,
or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws has
been
effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Issuer will
respond to any such notice from a holder within five (5) Trading Days. In the
case of any proposed transfer under this Section 2(h), the Issuer will use
reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue
sky" laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business
in
any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would
subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it
is
not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of
any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Issuer.
The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 2(h) shall be in addition
to, and not by way of limitation of, any
-4-
other
restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant.
Whenever
a
certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required to be issued to a the
Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates
representing the Warrant Stock, the Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts
to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Stock to
the
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through
its DWAC system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this
Warrant or the Purchase Agreement).
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent
shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s
behalf via DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a sale and the
Issuer and its transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC
system.
(i) Accredited
Investor Status.
In no
event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in whole or in part unless the Holder
is then an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities
Act.
3. Stock
Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Stock
Fully Paid.
The
Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant
Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise
hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all
taxes, liens and charges created by or through the Issuer. The Issuer further
covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be
exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the
purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to at least one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant.
(b) Reservation.
If any
shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of
this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or
qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law
before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its
best
efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to
be
duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any shares of Common
Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list
thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares
of
Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as
otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Stock has been
registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act then
in
effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange
rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable
hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer
will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain
such
listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be
entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any
securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or
market by the Issuer.
(c) Covenants.
The
Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the
Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer, or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue
or
sale of securities or any other 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
hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or
impairment. Without
-5-
limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value,
if any, of its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii)
not
amend or modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws
of
the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holders
of the Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary
in
order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and
restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant,
and (iv) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions
or
consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may
be
reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under
this
Warrant.
(d) Loss,
Theft, Destruction of Warrants.
Upon
receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the
loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such
loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory
to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of
such
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and
representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common
Stock.
4. Adjustment
of Warrant Price and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise.
The
Warrant Price and the Warrant Share Number shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder
notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to
this Section 4 in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section
5.
(a) Recapitalization,
Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(i)
In
case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following
(each, a "Triggering
Event"):
(a)
consolidate or merge with or into any other Person and the Issuer shall not
be
the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or
(b)
permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the
Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with
such
consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into
or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property,
or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any
other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of
its
Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper
provision shall be made to the Warrant Price and the number of shares of Warrant
Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant so that, upon the
basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder
of
this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the
consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not
exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price as
adjusted to take into account the consummation of such Triggering Event, in
lieu
of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such
Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would
have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder
had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto
(including the right of a stockholder to elect the type of consideration it
will
receive upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such
corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided
for elsewhere in this Section 4, and the Warrant Price shall be adjusted to
equal the product of (A) the closing price of the common stock of the continuing
or surviving corporation
-6-
as
a
result of such Triggering Event as of the date immediately preceding the date
of
the consummation of such Triggering Event multiplied by (B) the quotient of
(i)
the Warrant Price divided by (ii) the Per Share Market Value of the Common
Stock
as of the date immediately preceding the Original Issue Date. Immediately upon
the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Issuer shall notify the Holder in
writing of such Triggering Event and provide the calculations in determining
the
number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of the new warrant
and
the adjusted Warrant Price. Upon the Holder’s request, the continuing or
surviving corporation as a result of such Triggering Event shall issue to the
Holder a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted
number of shares of Warrant Stock and the adjusted Warrant Price pursuant to
the
terms and provisions of this Section 4(a)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing
to
the contrary, this Section 4(a)(i) shall only apply if the surviving entity
pursuant to any such Triggering Event is a company that has a class of equity
securities registered
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common
stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated
quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board. In the event that the
surviving entity pursuant to any such Triggering Event is not a public company
that is
registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or
its
common stock is not listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national
automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, then the Holder shall
have
the right to demand that the Issuer pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal
to
the value of this Warrant as of the date of the Triggering Event calculated
in
accordance with the Black-Scholes formula.
(ii) In
the
event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this Warrant prior to the
consummation of a Triggering Event, so long as the surviving entity pursuant
to
any Triggering Event is a company that has a class of equity securities
registered
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common
stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated
quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board,
the
surviving entity and/or each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be
required to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this
Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to,
and
reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations
of
the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation
of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall
not
release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this
Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such Securities,
cash
or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection
(a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and the surviving entity and/or
each such Person shall have similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion of
counsel for the surviving entity and/or each such Person, which counsel shall
be
reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, or in the alternative, a written
acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the
Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and
effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the
provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the Securities, cash
or property which the surviving entity and/or each such Person may be required
to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights
pursuant hereto.
(b) Stock
Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations.
If at
any time the Issuer shall:
(i) make
or
issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock
for
the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other
distribution of, shares of Common Stock,
-7-
(ii)
subdivide
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common
Stock, or
(iii)
combine
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock,
then
(1)
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
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 for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior
to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the
happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be
adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number
of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock
for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such
adjustment.
(c) Certain
Other Distributions.
If at
any time the Issuer shall make or issue or set a record date for the holders
of
the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any divi-dend
or
other distribution of:
(i) cash
(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 Issuer),
(ii) any
evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock
Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common Stock), or
(iii) 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 of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents
or
Additional Shares of Common Stock),
then
(1)
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
shall
be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment
multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Per Share
Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the
denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount
allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and
of
the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board and supported by an
opinion from an investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the Issuer
and
the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock,
other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase
rights so distributable, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be
adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number
of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock
for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A
reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or
from
par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of
Common Stock and
-8-
shares
of
any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the
holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within
the meaning of this Section 4(c) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock
as a
part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or
combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
within the meaning of Section 4(b).
(d) Issuance
of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(i) Commencing
on the Original Issue Date and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, in
the
event the Issuer shall issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (otherwise
than as provided in the foregoing subsections (b) through (c) of this Section
4), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price then in effect or without
consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted
to the price equal to the consideration per share paid for such Additional
Shares of Common Stock.
(ii) Commencing
on the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day following the Original Issue
Date, in the event the Issuer shall issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock
(otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (a) through (c) of
this
Section 4), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price then in effect
or
without consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall
be
adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price then in
effect by a fraction:
(A) the
numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of
Outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional
Shares of Common Stock plus
(y) the
number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which
the
aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the Warrant Price
then in effect, and
(B) the
denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Outstanding
Common Stock immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock.
(iii) No
adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant shall
be exercisable shall be made under paragraphs (i) and (ii) of Section 4(d)
upon
the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant
to the exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents, if any such adjustment shall
previously have been made upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents
(or
upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section
4(e).
(e) Issuance
of Common Stock Equivalents.
If at
any time the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
for
the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any
manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Issuer is
the
surviving corporation) issue or sell, any Common Stock Equivalents, whether
or
not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable,
and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion
or exchange shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior
to
the time of such issue or sale, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock
Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock
may
be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended
shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect at the time of such amendment
or
adjustment, then
-9-
the
Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4(d).
No
further adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made upon
the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Common
Stock Equivalents.
(f) Superseding
Adjustment.
If, at
any time after any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall have
been
made pursuant to Section 4(e) as the result of any issuance of Common Stock
Equivalents, and (i) such Common Stock Equivalents, or the right of conversion
or exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents, shall expire, and all or a portion
of such or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion
of such Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be, shall not have been
exercised, or (ii) the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock
are issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalents shall be increased,
then
such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the Additional
Shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the
computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled
shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation.
Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in this Section 4(f), there shall
be a
recomputation made of the effect of such Common Stock Equivalents on the basis
of: (i) treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock theretofore
actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of Common Stock
Equivalents or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued
on the date or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually
received and receivable therefor, and (ii) treating any such Common Stock
Equivalents which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued
immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share
for
which Additional Shares of Common Stock are issuable under such Common Stock
Equivalents; whereupon a new ad-justment of the number of shares of Common
Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect
shall
be made, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so
rescinded and annulled.
(g) Other
Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section.
The
following provisions shall be ap-plicable to the making of adjustments of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and
the
Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4:
(i) Computation
of Consideration.
To the
extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock
Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued for
cash
consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefor shall be the
amount of the cash received by the Issuer therefor, or, if such Additional
Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Issuer
for
subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public
offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price
(in
any such case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest
or
accrued dividends and without taking into account any compensation, discounts
or
expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for and in the underwriting of, or
otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof). In connection with any
merger or consolidation in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation (other
than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares
of
Common Stock of the Issuer shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or
other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefor
shall be deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good
faith
by the Board, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving
corporation as the Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be.
-10-
The
consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to
any
warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the
consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such warrants or other rights
plus the additional con-sideration payable to the Issuer upon exercise of such
warrants or other rights. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Common Stock Equivalents shall
be
the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing war-rants or other rights
to subscribe for or purchase such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the
consideration paid or payable to the Issuer in respect of the subscription
for
or purchase of such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the additional consideration,
if any, payable to the Issuer upon the exercise of the right of conversion
or
exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents. In the event of any consolidation
or
merger of the Issuer in which the Issuer is not the surviving corporation or
in
which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer shall
be
changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another
corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Issuer for stock or other securities of any corporation, the
Issuer shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock
for
stock or securities or other property of the other corporation computed on
the
basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated,
and
for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such
transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other
corporation. In the event any consideration received by the Issuer for any
securities consists of property other than cash, the fair market value thereof
at the time of issuance or as otherwise applicable shall be as determined in
good faith by the Board. In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares
or securities or other assets of the Issuer for consideration which covers
both,
the consideration computed as provided in this Section 4(h)(i) shall be
allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the
Board.
(ii) When
Adjustments to Be Made.
The
adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often
as
any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any
adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the
case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided
for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such
adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds
or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment.
Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except
as
aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made(x) as soon
as
such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 4
and
not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or (y) on the date
of
exercise. 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.
(iii) Fractional
Interests.
In
computing ad-justments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common
Stock shall be taken into account to the near-est one one-hundredth
(1/100th)
of a
share.
(iv) When
Adjustment Not Required.
If the
Issuer shall take 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 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, 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.
-11-
(h) Form
of Warrant after Adjustments.
The
form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the
Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant.
(i) Escrow
of Warrant Stock.
If
after any property becomes distributable pursuant to this 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, and the Holder
exer-cises this Warrant, any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
by
reason of such adjustment shall be deemed the last shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any other provision to the
contrary herein) and such shares or other property shall be held in escrow
for
the Holder by the Issuer to be issued to the Holder upon and to the extent
that
the event actually takes place, upon payment of the current Warrant Price.
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 cancelled by the Issuer and escrowed property
returned.
(j) Acquisition
Failure Redemption In the event of an Acquisition Failure Redemption (as defined
in the Certificate of Designation) by the Holder, a percentage of the number
of
Warrants initially issued to the Holder under the Purchase Agreement equal
to
the Acquisition Failure Percentage (as defined below) shall automatically
terminate and shall be returned to the Issuer by the Holder within five (5)
business days of the Holder’s receipt of the Acquisition Failure Redemption
Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). For purposes hereof,
the
“Acquisition Failure Percentage” shall mean the quotient of (i) the number of
shares of the Issuer's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
Stock") that are redeemed by the Issuer in a completed Acquisition Failure
Redemption (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) and (ii) the number
of
shares of Preferred Stock initially purchased by the Holder under the Purchase
Agreement, and the “Acquisition Failure Amount” shall mean the difference of the
initial amount of the Acquisition Funds (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)
and the amount of Acquisition Funds that the Issuer has paid directly to
Approved Acquisition Targets (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for those
Acquisitions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) that have been completed,
consummated and closed, if any.
5. Notice
of Adjustments.
Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant
to
Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an "adjustment"),
the
Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a
certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the
adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment
was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made
any
determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after
giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate
to
be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment.
Any
dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the
matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this
Warrant be submitted to a national or regional accounting firm reasonably
acceptable to the Issuer and the Holder, provided
that the
Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such Holder of
its
selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select
another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of objection. The
firm
selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence
shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the
Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after submission to it of such
dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. The
costs and expenses of the initial accounting firm shall be paid equally by
the
Issuer and the Holder and, in the case of
-12-
an
objection by the Issuer, the costs and expenses of the subsequent accounting
firm shall be paid in full by the Issuer.
6. Fractional
Shares.
No
fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with any
exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall round
the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the nearest whole number
of shares.
7. Ownership
Cap and Exercise Restriction.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time
may a Holder of this Warrant exercise this Warrant if the number of shares
of
Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would exceed, when
aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder at such
time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such Holder
beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued
and
outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided,
however,
that
upon a holder of this Warrant providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days
notice (pursuant to Section 13 hereof) (the "Waiver
Notice")
that
such Holder would like to waive this Section 7 with regard to any or all shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 7 will
be
of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Warrant referenced
in the Waiver Notice; provided,
further,
that
this provision shall be of no further force or effect during the sixty-one
(61)
days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this Warrant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, these exercise restrictions shall not be
applicable to Renaissance Capital Group, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively,
"Xxxx"),
if
Xxxx so notifies the Issuer (either in writing or by email) prior to the date
of
issuance of the securities to which this paragraph is applicable.

Holder of this Warrant is entitled to the benefit of certain registration rights
