Exercise.
a)
Exercise
of Warrant.
Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in
whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date
and
on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed
facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form (or such other office or agency
of
the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder); and, within
3 Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the
registered
Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the
Company,
the
Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the
shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United
States bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall
not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the
Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the
Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender
this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within 3 Trading Days of the date
the final Notice of Exercise Form is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises
of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of
Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the
outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal
to
the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company
shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the
date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice
of
Exercise Form within 1 Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and
any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by
reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion
of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for
purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on
the
face hereof.
b)
Exercise
Price.
The
exercise price per share of the Common Shares under this Warrant shall be
$0.01,
subject
to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c)
Cashless
Exercise.
If at
any time after one year from the date of issuance of this Warrant there is
no
effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available
for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may
also
be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder
shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A),
where:
(A)
= the
VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such
election;
(B)
= the
Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
(X)
= the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a
cashless exercise.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall
be
automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section
2(c).
d)
Mechanics
of Exercise.
i.
Authorization
of Warrant Shares.
The
Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created
by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect
of
any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
ii.
Delivery
of Certificates Upon Exercise.
Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer
agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s
prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission (“DWAC”)
system
if the Company is a participant in such system, and otherwise by physical
delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within
3 Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form,
surrender of this Warrant (if required) and payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price as set forth above (“Warrant
Share Delivery Date”).
This
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price
is
received by the Company. The Warrant Shares 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 the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the
Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required
to
be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vii) prior to the
issuance of such shares, have been paid.
iii.
Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise.
If this
Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request
of
a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery
of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to
the
Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the
unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall
in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iv.
Rescission
Rights.
If the
Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a
certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to this
Section 2(d)(iv) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have
the right to rescind such exercise.
v.
Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon
Exercise.
In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails
to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker
to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Shares to
deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which
the
Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”),
then
the Company 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
Common Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A)
the number of Warrant Shares that the Company 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 Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver
to
the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the
Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.
For example, if the Holder purchases Common Shares having a total purchase
price
of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Common
Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation
of
$10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company
shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company
written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.
Nothing herein shall limit a Xxxxxx’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
Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Common Shares upon
exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
vi.
No
Fractional Shares or Scrip.
No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would
otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall at
its
election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in
an
amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up
to
the next whole share.
vii.
Charges,
Taxes and Expenses.
Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to
the
Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect
of
the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be
paid
by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder
or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided,
however,
that in
the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other
than
the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be
accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder;
and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum
sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
viii.
Closing
of Books.
The
Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which
prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms
hereof.
Section
3.
Certain
Adjustments.
a)
Stock
Dividends and Splits.
If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (A) pays a stock
dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on its Common Shares
or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares
(which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued
by
the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (B) subdivides outstanding Common
Shares into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse
stock split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or
(D)
issues by reclassification of Common Shares any shares of capital stock of
the
Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction
of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury
shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after
such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall
be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a)
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination
of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall
become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b)
Subsequent
Equity Sales.
If the
Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase or sell or grant
any
right to reprice its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce
any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any
Common Shares or Common Shares Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire
Common Shares, at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise
Price
(such lower price, the “Base
Share Price”
and
such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive
Issuance”)
(if
the holder of the Common Shares or Common Shares Equivalents so issued shall
at
any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions,
floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to
warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such
issuance, be entitled to receive Common Shares at an effective price per share
which is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have
occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive
Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal
the Base Share Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall
be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after
taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the
aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be
made
whenever such Common Shares or Common Shares Equivalents are issued.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section
3(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The
Company
shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following
the
issuance of any Common Shares or Common Shares Equivalents subject to this
section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset
price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice
the
“Dilutive
Issuance Notice”).
For
purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive
Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the occurrence of any
Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is
entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price
regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price
in
the Notice of Exercise.
c)
Subsequent
Rights Offerings.
If the
Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights,
options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares (and not to the Holder)
entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share
less than the VWAP at the record date mentioned below, then the Exercise Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number
of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants
plus the number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or
purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number
of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares
so
offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable
upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP.
Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued,
and
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination
of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.
d)
Pro
Rata Distributions.
If the
Company, at any time prior to the Termination Date, shall distribute to all
holders of Common Shares (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness
or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe
for or purchase any security other than the Common Shares (which shall be
subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined
as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be
such
VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such
record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so
distributed applicable to one outstanding Common Shares as determined by the
Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be
described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or
evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable
to one Common Share. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such
distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record
date mentioned above.
e)
Fundamental
Transaction.
If, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger
or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company
effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series
of
related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Shares are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities,
cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common
Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares
is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”),
then,
upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right
to
receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise
immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the
option of the Holder, (a) upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Common
Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is
the
surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”)
receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation or disposition of assets by the holders of the number of Common
Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event
or
(b) if the Company is acquired in an all cash transaction, cash equal to the
value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes option
pricing formula. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the
Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate
Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect
of one Common Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall
apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable
manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the
Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as
to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions,
any
successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction
shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions
and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate
Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental
Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or
surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3(e) and insuring
that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted
upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental
Transaction.
f)
Calculations.
All
calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section
3,
the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given
date shall be the sum of the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares,
if any) issued and outstanding.
g)
Voluntary
Adjustment By Company.
The
Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current
Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate
by
the Board of Directors of the Company.
h)
Notice
to the Holder.
i.
Adjustment
to Exercise Price.
Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this
Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth
the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement
of
the facts requiring such adjustment. If the Company issues a variable rate
security, despite the prohibition thereon in the Agreement, the Company shall
be
deemed to have issued Common Shares or Common Shares Equivalents at the lowest
possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted
or exercised in the case of a Variable Rate Transaction.
ii.
Notice
to Allow Exercise by the Holder.
If (A)
the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever
form) on the Common Shares; (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring
cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares; (C) the Company shall
authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants
to
subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any
rights; (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required
in
connection with any reclassification of the Common Shares, any consolidation
or
merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange
whereby the Common Shares is converted into other securities, cash or property;
(E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case,
the
Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at
its
last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the
Company,
at
least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to
be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or
warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders
of
the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,
redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange
is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of the Common Shares for securities, cash or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or
any
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled
to exercise this Warrant during the 20-day period commencing on the date of
such
notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.
Section
4.

Subject
to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth

or
its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant
substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its

Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice

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.
c)
Warrant
Register.
The
Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant

in

the
purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all
other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d)
Transfer
Restrictions.
If, at
the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of
this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant
to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under
applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a
condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this
Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel
(which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions
of
counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be
made
without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and
deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable
to
the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined
in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), or (a)(8) promulgated under the
Securities Act or a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a)
under the Securities Act.
Section
5.
Miscellaneous.
a)
No
Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise.
This
Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as
a
shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section
2(d)(ii).
b)
Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant.
The
Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant
or any share certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss,
theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it
(which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond),
and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or share certificate, if
mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or share certificate
of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or
share certificate.
c)
Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc.
If the
last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any
right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action
may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
Day.
d)
Authorized
Shares.
The
Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Shares a sufficient number
of
shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise
of
any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that
its
issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who
are
charged with the duty of executing share certificates to execute and issue
the
necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase
rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action
as
may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided
herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Shares may be listed.
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall
not
by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate 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 as set forth in this Warrant
against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase
in
par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary
to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise 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.
e)
Jurisdiction.
All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the
Agreement.
f)
Restrictions.
The
Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this
Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state
and federal securities laws.
g)
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 the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that
all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully
and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results
in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder
such
amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any 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.
h)
Notices.
Any
notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered
to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice
provisions of the Agreement.
i)
Limitation
of Liability.
No
provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to
exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein
of
the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of
the
Holder for the purchase price of any Common Shares or as a shareholder of the
Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors
of
the Company.
j)
Remedies.
The
Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law,
including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of
its
rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not
be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of
the
provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the
defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
k)
Successors
and Assigns.
Subject
to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations
evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of the
Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of
all
holders from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by any such
holder or holders of Warrant Shares.
l)
Amendment.
This
Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.
m)
Severability.
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 ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity,
without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining
provisions of this Warrant.
n)
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.
