of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. For the purposes
of
the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined
in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3
thereunder. The limitation described in this Section 1.1 shall automatically
become null and void without any notice to the Company upon the occurrence
and
during the continuance beyond any applicable grace period of an Event of Default

hereof, by the Company in favor of the Holder or upon 65 days prior notice
to
the Company.
1.2 Fair
Market Value.
For
purposes hereof, the “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock as of a
particular date (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:
(a) If
the
Company’s Common Stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange or another
national exchange or is quoted on the National or SmallCap Market of The Nasdaq
Stock Market, Inc.(“Nasdaq”), then the closing or last sale price, respectively,
reported for the last business day immediately preceding the Determination
Date.
(b) If
the
Company’s Common Stock is not traded on the American Stock Exchange or another
national exchange or on the Nasdaq but is traded on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board,
then the mean of the average of the closing bid and asked prices reported for
the last business day immediately preceding the Determination Date.
(c) Except
as
provided in clause (d) below, if the Company’s Common Stock is not publicly
traded, then as the Holder and the Company agree or in the absence of agreement
by arbitration in accordance with the rules then in effect of the American
Arbitration Association, before a single arbitrator to be chosen from a panel
of
persons qualified by education and training to pass on the matter to be
decided.
2
(d) If
the
Determination Date is the date of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up,
or
any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up pursuant to
the
Company’s charter, then all amounts to be payable per share to holders of the
Common Stock pursuant to the charter in the event of such liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, plus all other amounts to be payable per share in
respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the charter, assuming for
the
purposes of this clause (d) that all of the shares of Common Stock then issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant are outstanding at the Determination
Date.
1.3 Company
Acknowledgment.
The
Company will, at the time of the exercise of this Warrant, upon the request
of
the Holder acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to the
Holder any rights to which the Holder shall continue to be entitled after such
exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder shall
fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing
obligation of the Company to afford to the Holder any such rights.
1.4 Trustee
for Warrant Holders.
In the
event that a bank or trust company shall have been appointed as trustee for
the
Holder pursuant to Subsection 3.2, such bank or trust company shall have all
the
powers and duties of a warrant agent (as hereinafter described) and shall
accept, in its own name for the account of the Company or such successor person
as may be entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or
such
successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this
Section 1.
2. Procedure
for Exercise.
2.1 Delivery
of Stock Certificates, Etc., on Exercise.
The
Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such
shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall
have
been surrendered and payment made for such shares in accordance herewith. As
soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part,
and
in any event within three (3) business days thereafter, the Company at its
expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause
to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder (upon
payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance
with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number
of
duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
(or
Other Securities) to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus,
in lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled,
cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one
full
share, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including
cash, where applicable) to which the Holder is entitled upon such exercise
pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
2.2 Exercise.
If the
Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise
Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), the Holder shall receive
shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion
thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office
of
the Company together with the properly endorsed Exercise Notice in which event
the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock
computed using the following formula:
X=Y |
(A-B)
A
|
WhereX= |
the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder
|
Y = |
the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant or,
if
only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of
this
Warrant being exercised (at the date of such
calculation)
|
A = |
the
Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date
of such calculation)
|
B= |
Exercise
Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation)

3. Effect
of
Reorganization, Etc.; Adjustment of Exercise Price.
3.1 Reorganization,
Consolidation, Merger, Etc.
In case
at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization,
(b) consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any
plan
or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each
such
case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and
adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this
Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after
the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective
date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the
Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if
the
Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject
to
further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.
3.2 Dissolution.
In the
event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or
substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, concurrently with
any distributions made to holders of its Common Stock, shall at its expense
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the stock and other securities
and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of
this
Warrant pursuant to Section 3.1, or, if the Holder shall so instruct the
Company, to a bank or trust company specified by the Holder and having its
principal office in New York, NY as trustee for the Holder of this Warrant
(the
“Trustee”).
3.3 Continuation
of Terms.
Upon
any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution
following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall
continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable
to
the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise
of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation
or
merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as
the
case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other
securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring
all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether
or
not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as
provided in Section 4. In the event this Warrant does not continue in full
force
and effect after the consummation of the transactions described in this Section
3, then the Company’s securities and property (including cash, where applicable)
receivable by the Holder of this Warrant will be delivered to the Holder or
the
Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.
4
4. Extraordinary
Events Regarding Common Stock.
In the
event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock
as
a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide
its
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of
the
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in
each
such event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of
such
event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the
product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect.
The
Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon
the
happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section
4.
The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to
receive shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number
of
shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator
is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this
Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect
on the date of such exercise.
5. Certificate
as to Adjustments.
In each
case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense
will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee
to
compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment
and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment
is
based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable
by
the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares
of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding,
and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be
received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this
Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to
the
Holder of this Warrant and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant
to Section 9 hereof).
6. Reservation
of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant.
The
Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and
delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this
Warrant.
5
7. Assignment;
Exchange of Warrant.
Subject
to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights
evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a
“Transferor”) in whole or in part. On the surrender for exchange of this
Warrant, with the Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached
hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form”) and together with evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities
laws, which shall include, without limitation, the provision of a legal opinion
from the Transferor’s counsel (at the Company’s expense) that such transfer is
exempt from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws, and
with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue
and
deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like
tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in
such
Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on
the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for
on
the face or faces of this Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.
8. Replacement

receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement
or
security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the
case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant,
the
Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant
of like tenor.
9. Warrant

Company may, by written notice to the Holder of this Warrant, appoint an agent
for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise
of
this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section
7, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing,

address of, the last Holder of this Warrant who has so furnished an address
to
the Company.
12. Miscellaneous.
This
Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated
only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement
of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of State of New York
without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought concerning
the transactions contemplated by this Warrant shall be brought only in the
state
courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state of New York;
provided, however, that the Holder may choose to waive this provision and bring
an action outside the state of New York. The individuals executing this Warrant
on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts
and
waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from
the
other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any
provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable
statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to
the
extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform
with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid
or
unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of
any other provision of this Warrant. The headings in this Warrant are for
purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of
the
terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall
in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
The Company acknowledges that legal counsel participated in the preparation
of
this Warrant and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied
in the interpretation of this Warrant to favor any party against the other
party.
