(ii) if the Shares are actively traded over-the-counter in the United States, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the date of the Notice of Exercise being delivered to the Company in connection with the exercise of the Warrants (whether in whole or in part); or
(iii) if there is no active public market for the Shares in the United States, the fair market value shall be agreed by the Holder and the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”); provided, however, that if the Holder and the Board are unable to agree upon the fair market value then the Holder and the Board shall jointly select an appraiser who is experienced in such matters to determine the fair market value and the decision of the appraiser shall be final and conclusive; provided, further, that the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
2.3 Legend. Each certificate for the Shares purchased under this Warrant shall bear a legend as follows, unless such Shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”):
“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or applicable U.S. state securities laws. Neither the securities nor any interest therein may be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws which, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, is available.”
2.4 Mechanics of Exercise.
2.4.1 Delivery of Certificates upon Exercise. Certificates representing the Shares 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 either (i) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of such Shares to, or resale of such Shares by, the Holder, or (ii) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to Section 2.2 above, and
otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within three (3) Business Days (as defined below) from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, surrender of this Warrant (if required) and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth in Section 2.1 above (the “Warrants Shares Delivery Date”). If all or any portion of this Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance or resale of the Shares or if the legend is not required under applicable securities laws, such Shares shall be issued free of all legends on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date. This Warrrants shall be deemed to have been exercised on the first date on which the Notice of Exercise has been properly delivered to the Company and the Company has
received the Exercise Price (or documentation of cashless exercise). The Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and 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, on the first date on which the Notice of Exercise has been properly delivered to the Company and the Company has received the Exercise Price (or documentation of cashless exercise).

For purposes of this Warrant, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to close in New York City.
[2.4.2 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 Shares pursuant to a Notice of Exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 2.4.1 above, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (i) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (a) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Shares so purchased exceeds (b) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of 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 (ii) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of this Warrant and equivalent number of Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Shares having a total purchase price of US$11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Shares with an
aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of US$10,000, under clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder US$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company 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 Company. 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 Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. ]
2.5 Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required to issue certificates or script representing fractions of Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at Newbridge’s 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.

securities has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and compliance with applicable U.S. state securities law has been established.

Holder’s exercise of the Demand Registration Right, the Holder shall have the right, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing commencing on the Commencement Date, to make additional demand to have the Company register and the Company shall register all or any portion of the Registrable Securities in a registration statement at Holder’s expense (“Additional Demand Registration Right”) , provided that all or any portion of the Registrable Securities are not currently covered by a then effective registration statement.

5. New Warrant to be Issued.
5.1 Partial Exercise or Transfer. Subject to the restrictions in Section 3 above, this Warrant may be exercised or assigned in whole or in part.

6. Adjustments.
6.1 Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares underlying the Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth.
6.1.1 Share Dividends; Split Ups. If, at any time after the hereof, the Company (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on the Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Shares, (ii) subdivides outstanding Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock-split) outstanding Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of 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 Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator
shall be the number of Shares outstanding immediately after such event and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.
5
6.1.2 Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In the case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Shares other than a change covered by Sections 6.1.1 above or a change that solely affects the par value of such Shares, or in the case of any share reconstruction or amalgamation or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the
Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the right of exercise of this Warrant) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, share reconstruction or amalgamation, or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, by a Holder of the number of Shares of the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in Shares covered by Section 6.1.1 above, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 6.1.1 above and this Section 6.1.2. The provisions of this Section 6.1.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, share reconstructions or amalgamations, or consolidations, sales or other transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, in the event of (i) an all cash transaction where the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”), (ii) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act where the Company is not the Successor Entity, or (iii) a transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, including, but not limited to, The Nasdaq Global Select Market, The Nasdaq Global Market, The Nasdaq Capital
Market or NYSE Amex where the Company is not the Successor Entity (collectively, a “Fundamental Transaction”), such Successor Entity shall, at the option of the Holder, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction.
For purposes of this Section 6.1.2, “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (i) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (ii) an expected volatility equal to
the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg as of the trading day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (iii) the underlying price per Share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per Share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction, and (iv) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Expiration Date.
6.1.3 Changes in Form of Warrant. This form of Warrant need not be changed because of any change pursuant to this Section 6.1, and any Warrant(s) issued after such change may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of Shares as are stated in the Warrant initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. The acceptance by any Holder of the issuance of any new Warrant(s) reflecting a required or permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any rights to an adjustment occurring after the Commencement Date or the computation thereof.
6.2 Substitute Warrant. In the case of any consolidation of the Company with, or share reconstruction or amalgamation of the Company with or into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Shares), the corporation formed by such consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation shall execute and deliver to the Holder a supplemental Warrant providing that the holder of such Warrant then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the stated expiration of such Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of such Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon
such consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation, by a holder of the number of Shares of the Company for which such Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, share reconstruction or amalgamation, sale or transfer. Such supplemental Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6. The provision of this Section 6.2 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or share reconstructions or amalgamations.
6
7. Reservation and Listing. The Company shall at all times until the Expiration Date reserve and keep available out of its authorized Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, such number of Shares or other securities, properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise hereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, in accordance with the terms hereby, all Shares and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any shareholder. As long as this Warrarnt shall be outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause all Shares issuable upon exercise hereof to be listed (subject to official notice of issuance) on all securities exchanges (or, if applicable, on the OTC Bulletin Board or any successor trading market) on which the Shares issued to the public in the Offering may then be listed and/or quoted.
8. Certain Notice Requirements.
8.1 Holder’s Right to Receive Notice.
