5
to Purchase Shares, such that the excess of the aggregate Current Market Price of such specified number of shares on the date of exercise over the portion of the Purchase Price attributable to such shares shall equal the Purchase Price attributable to the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise, in which case such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to the Company and the number of shares issuable upon such exercise shall be reduced by such specified number, or (iv) by surrender to the Company for cancellation certificates representing shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by the Holder (properly endorsed for transfer in blank) having a Current Market Price on the date of Warrant exercise equal to the Purchase Price.
2.2. When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to, and the Purchase Price shall have been received by, the Company as provided in Section 2.1, and, to the extent permitted by law, at such time the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 2.3 shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof for all purposes.

(a) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, provided that, for the purposes of this Section 3.2.1, (i) immediately after any Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4, such Additional Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding, and (ii) treasury shares shall not be deemed to be outstanding, and

In case the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue, sell, grant or assume, or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities of the Company entitled to receive, any Options or Convertible Securities (whether or not the rights thereunder are immediately exercisable, but exclusive of options or convertible securities excluded from the definition of Additional Shares of Common Stock), then, and in each such case, the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue, sale, grant or assumption or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading), provided that such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless (i) the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 3.5) of such shares would be less than the Current Market Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, sale, grant or assumption or immediately prior to the close of business on such record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading), as the case may be, and (ii) such Additional Shares of Common Stock are not purchasable pursuant to Rights referred to in Section 3.10, and provided, further, that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued.
(a) whether or not the Additional Shares of Common Stock underlying such Options or Convertible Securities are deemed to be issued, no further adjustment of the Warrant Quantity shall be made upon the subsequent issue or sale of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, except in the case of any such Options or Convertible Securities which contain provisions requiring an adjustment,
8
subsequent to the date of the issue or sale thereof, of the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities by reason of (x) a change of control of the Company, (y) the acquisition by any Person or group of Persons of any specified number or percentage of the voting securities of the Company or (z) any similar event or occurrence, each such case to be deemed hereunder to involve a separate issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be;
(b) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the consideration payable to the Company, or decrease in the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof (by change of rate or otherwise), the Warrant Quantity computed upon the original issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof (or upon the occurrence of the record date, or date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading, as the case may be, with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options, or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities, which are outstanding at such time;
(c) upon the expiration (or purchase by the Company and cancellation or retirement) of any such Options which shall not have been exercised or the expiration of any rights of conversion or exchange under any such Convertible Securities which (or purchase by the Company and cancellation or retirement of any such Convertible Securities the rights of conversion or exchange under which) shall not have been exercised, the Warrant Quantity computed upon the original issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof (or upon the occurrence of the record date, or date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading, as the case may be, with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration (or such cancellation or retirement, as the case may be), be recomputed as if:
(i) in the case of Options for Common Stock or Convertible Securities, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold were the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise, or for the issue or sale of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, and
(ii) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options were issued at the time of the issue or sale, grant or assumption of such Options, and the consideration received by the Company for the Additional
9
Shares of Common Stock deemed to have then been issued was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Company (pursuant to Section 3.5) upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;
(d) no readjustment pursuant to subdivision (b) or (c) above shall have the effect of decreasing the Warrant Quantity by an amount in excess of the amount of the adjustment thereof originally made in respect of the issue, sale, grant or assumption of such Options or Convertible Securities; and
(e) in the case of any such Options which expire by their terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof, no adjustment of the Warrant Quantity shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the manner provided in subdivision (c) above.
3.4. Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc. In case the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then, and in each such case, Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued (a) in the case of any such dividend, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such dividend, or (b) in the case of any such subdivision, at the close of business on the day immediately prior to the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.
3.5. Computation of Consideration. For the purposes of this Section 3,
(a) the consideration for the issue or sale of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall, irrespective of the accounting treatment of such consideration,
(i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the net amount of cash received by the Company, without deducting any expenses paid or incurred by the Company or any commissions or compensations paid or concessions or discounts allowed to underwriters, dealers or others performing similar services in connection with such issue or sale,
(ii) insofar as it consists of property (including securities) other than cash, be computed at the Fair Value thereof at the time of such issue or sale, and
(iii) in case Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of the Company for a consideration which covers both, be the portion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, allocable to such Additional
10
Shares of Common Stock, such allocation to be determined in the same manner that the Fair Value of property not consisting of cash is to be determined as provided in the definition of ‘Fair Value’ herein;
(b) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 3.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to have been issued for a consideration per share determined by dividing
(i) the total amount, if any, received and receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of the Options or Convertible Securities in question, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration to protect against dilution) payable to the Company upon the exercise in full of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, in each case computing such consideration as provided in the foregoing subdivision (a),
by
(ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number to protect against dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities; and
(c) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 3.4, relating to stock dividends, stock splits, etc., shall be deemed to have been issued for no consideration.
3.6. Adjustments for Combinations, etc. In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Quantity in effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately decreased.
3.7. Dilution in Case of Other Securities. In case any Other Securities shall be issued or sold or shall become subject to issue or sale upon the conversion or exchange of any stock (or Other Securities) of the Company (or any issuer of Other Securities or any other Person referred to in Section 4) or to subscription, purchase or other acquisition pursuant to any Options issued or granted by the Company (or any such other issuer or Person) for a consideration such as to dilute, on a basis consistent with the standards established in the other provisions of this Section 3, the purchase rights granted by this Warrant, then, and in each such case, the computations, adjustments and readjustments provided for in this Section 3 with respect to the Warrant Quantity shall be made as nearly as possible in the manner so provided and applied to
11
determine the amount of Other Securities from time to time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants, so as to protect the holders of the Warrants against the effect of such dilution.
3.8. De Minimis Adjustments. If the amount of any adjustment of the Warrant Quantity required pursuant to this Section 3 would be less than one tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of the Warrant Quantity in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise so required to be made, such amount shall be carried forward and adjustment with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate a change in the Warrant Quantity of at least one tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of such Warrant Quantity. All calculations under this Warrant shall be made to the nearest one-hundredth of a share.
3.9. Abandoned Dividend or Distribution. If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution (which results in an adjustment to the Warrant Quantity under the terms of this Warrant) and shall, thereafter, and before such dividend or distribution is paid or delivered to shareholders entitled thereto, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then any adjustment made to the Warrant Quantity by reason of the taking of such record shall be reversed, and any subsequent adjustments, based thereon, shall be recomputed.
3.10. Shareholder Rights Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company shall distribute “poison pill” rights pursuant to a “poison pill” shareholder rights plan (the “Rights”), the Company shall, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to Section 3.2.1 or Section 3.2.2 hereof, make proper provision so that each Holder who exercises a Warrant after the record date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, a number of Rights to be determined as follows: (i) if such exercise occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of Rights of separate certificates evidencing such Rights (the “Distribution Date”), the same number of Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise at the time of such exercise would be entitled in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the Rights; and (ii) if such exercise occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of Rights to which a holder of the number of shares into which the Warrant so exercised was exercisable immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the Rights.
4. CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.
4.1. Adjustments for Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets, Reorganization, etc. In case the Company after the date hereof shall (a) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and 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 Company and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, the Common Stock or Other Securities shall be changed into or exchanged for stock or other 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
12
reclassification of the Common Stock or Other Securities, (other than a capital reorganization or reclassification resulting in the issue or Additional Shares of Common Stock for which adjustment in the Purchase Price is provided in section 3.2.1 or 3.2.2), then, and in the case of each such transaction, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such transaction, shall be entitled to receive (at the aggregate Purchase Price in effect at the time of such consummation for all Common Stock or Other Securities issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to such consummation), in lieu of the Common Stock or Other Securities issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation, the highest amount of securities, cash or other property to which such Holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such consummation) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in Sections 3 through 5, provided that if a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and if the Holder so designates in a notice given to the Company on or before the date immediately preceding the date of the consummation of such transaction, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon surrender of this Warrant the highest amount of securities, cash or other property to which it would actually have been entitled as a shareholder if the Holder of this Warrant had exercised this Warrant prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer and accepted such offer, subject to adjustments (from and after the consummation of such purchase, tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in Sections 3 through 5.
4.2. Assumption of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant or in the Financing Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not effect any of the transactions described in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 4.1 unless, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Company) which may be required to deliver any stock, 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 Company under this Warrant (and if the Company shall survive the consummation of such transaction, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Company from, any continuing obligations of the Company under this Warrant), (b) the obligations of the Company to the Holder under the Registration Rights Agreement and (c) the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, the Holder may be entitled to receive. Nothing in this Section 4 shall be deemed to authorize the Company to enter into any transaction not otherwise permitted by the Financing Agreement.
5. OTHER DILUTIVE EVENTS. In case any event shall occur as to which the provisions of Section 3 or Section 4 hereof are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such Sections, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Holder), which shall give their opinion on the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in Section 3, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights represented by this
13
Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company shall promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder and shall make the adjustments described therein.
6. NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, 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 action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall (a) not permit the par value of any shares of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, (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 shares of stock, free from all liens, security interests, encumbrances (in each of the foregoing cases, other than those imposed by the Holder), taxes, preemptive rights and charges on the exercise of the Warrants from time to time outstanding, (c) not take any action which results in an increase of the total number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable after the action upon the exercise of this Warrant if that total number of issuable shares would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) then authorized by the Company’s certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise, and (d) shall not issue any capital stock of any class which is preferred as to dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, unless the rights of the holders thereof shall be limited to a fixed sum or percentage of par value or a sum determined by reference to a formula based on a published index of interest rates, an interest rate publicly announced by a financial institution or a similar indicator of interest rates in respect of participation in dividends and to a fixed sum or percentage of par value in any such distribution of assets.
7. CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (e.g., by reason of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities), the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate, signed by the Chairman of the Board, President or one of the Vice Presidents of the Company, and by the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or one of the Assistant Treasurers of the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or to be received by the Company for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis. The Company shall forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to each holder of a Warrant and shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of a Warrant, furnish to such holder a like certificate. The Company shall also keep copies of all such certificates at its principal office and shall cause the same to be available for inspection at such office during normal business hours by any holder of a Warrant or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the holder thereof. The Company shall upon the request in writing of the Holder (at the Company’s expense), retain independent public accountants of recognized national standing selected by the
14
Board of Directors of the Company to make any computation required in connection with adjustments under this Warrant, and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, which shall be binding on the Holder and the Company.
8. NOTICES OF CORPORATE ACTION. In the event of:
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger involving the Company and any other Person, any transaction or series of transactions in which more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company are transferred to another Person, or any transfer, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to any other Person, or

Such notice shall be mailed at least 45 days prior to the date therein specified.
9. REGISTRATION OF COMMON STOCK . If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law (other than the Securities Act) before such shares may be issued upon exercise, the Company shall, at its expense and as expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be. At any such time as the Common Stock is listed on any national securities exchange, the Company shall, at its expense, obtain promptly and maintain the approval for listing on each such exchange, upon official notice of issuance, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and maintain the listing of such shares after their issuance; and the Company shall also list on such national securities exchange, shall register under the Exchange Act and shall maintain such listing of, any Other Securities that at any time are issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, if and at the time that any securities of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange by the Company.

12. AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION. So long as the Company shall not have filed a registration statement pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act or a registration statement pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Company shall, at any time and from time to time, upon the request of any holder of Restricted Securities and upon the request of any Person designated by such holder as a prospective purchaser of any Restricted Securities, furnish in writing to such holder or such prospective purchaser, as the case may be, a statement as of a date not earlier than 12 months prior to the date of such request of the nature of the business of the Company and the products and services it offers and copies of the Company’s most recent balance sheet and profit and loss and retained earnings statements, together with similar financial statements for such part of the two preceding fiscal years as the Company shall have been in operation, all such financial statements to be audited to the extent audited statements are reasonably available, provided that, in any event the most recent financial statements so furnished shall include a balance sheet as of a date less than 16 months prior to the date of such request, statements of profit and loss and retained earnings for the 12 months preceding the date of such balance sheet, and, if such balance sheet is not as of a date less than six months prior to the date of such request, additional statements of profit and loss and retained earnings for the period from the date of such balance sheet to a date less than six months prior to the date of such request.

The Company shall keep copies of this Warrant on file with the Transfer Agent for the Common Stock and with every subsequent Transfer Agent for any shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable upon the
19
exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this Warrant. The Company shall supply such Transfer Agent with duly executed stock certificates for such purpose. All Warrants surrendered upon the exercise of the rights thereby evidenced shall be canceled, and such canceled Warrants shall constitute sufficient evidence of the number of shares of stock which have been issued upon the exercise of such Warrants. Subsequent to the Expiration Date, no shares of stock need be reserved by the Company in respect of any unexercised portion of this Warrant.
14. REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF WARRANTS; CALL RIGHT.
14.1. Warrant Register; Ownership of Warrants. This Warrant shall be numbered and shall be registered in a warrant register (the “Warrant Register”) as it is issued and transferred, which Warrant Register shall be maintained by the Company at its principal office or, at the Company’s election and expense, by a warrant agent or the Company’s transfer agent. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered Holder of this Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in this Warrant on the part of any other Person, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, except that, if and when this Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) treat the bearer thereof as the owner of this Warrant for all purposes. Subject to Section 10, a Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder without a new Warrant first having been issued.
14.2. Transfer of Warrants. Subject to compliance with Section 9, if applicable, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part, without charge to the Holder hereof, upon surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed Form of Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B at the principal office of the Company. Upon any partial transfer, the Company shall at its expense issue and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Holder, which shall be exercisable for such number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which rights under this Warrant were not so transferred.
14.3. Replacement of Warrants. On receipt by the Company 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 reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender of such Warrant to the Company at its principal office and cancellation thereof, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
14.4. Adjustments To Number of Shares. Notwithstanding any adjustment in the number or kind of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, any Warrant theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same number and kind of shares of Common Stock as are stated in this Warrant, as initially issued.
14.5. Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any adjustment pursuant to Section 3 in the number of shares of common Stock covered by this Warrant or any other provision of this warrant, the Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares upon exercise of this Warrant or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional shares. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company shall make payment to the Holder, at the time of exercise of this Warrant as herein
20
provided, in an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of Warrant exercise.
14.6. Call Right. If the Company has fully repaid the Obligations prior to the one year anniversary of the date of issuance of this Warrant, and subject to the provisions of this Section 14.6, the Company shall have the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the unexercised portion of this Warrant from the Holder. The Company may exercise its call right on the date of repayment of the Obligations by providing written notice to the Holder (the “Call Notice”). Any exercise by the Company of its call right shall be irrevocable. The closing of the purchase by the Company, and the sale by the Holder, of this Warrant, following exercise by the Company of its call right (the “Call Closing”) shall be held at the principal office of Holder or its legal counsel on the second (2nd) business day following Holder’s receipt of the Company’s Call Notice. At the Call Closing, Holder shall deliver the unexercised portion of this Warrant to the Company against receipt from the Company of the aggregate Call Price (as defined below) therefor in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Holder’s designated account. As used herein: “Call Price” shall mean prior to the six-month anniversary of the date of this Warrant, the higher of (a) $125,000 and (b) the Current Market Price, and after such six-month anniversary of the date of this Warrant, the higher of (a) $250,000 and (b) the Current Market Price. If Holder tenders this Warrant at the Call Closing and the Company fails to tender payment of the required aggregate Call Price at the Call Closing, then the Company’s call right shall thereupon terminate and be of no force or effect, notwithstanding its previous exercise thereof, and the Company shall indemnify Holder against all costs, expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees), losses and damages paid, suffered or incurred by Holder as a result of the Company’s exercise of such call right and failure to tender such aggregate Call Price.
15. REMEDIES; SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The Company stipulates that there would be no adequate remedy at law to the Holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant and accordingly, the Company agrees that, in addition to any other remedy to which the Holder may be entitled at law or in equity, the Holder shall be entitled to seek to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant, without the posting of any bond, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Warrant, the Company shall not raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. Except as otherwise provided by law, a delay or omission by the Holder hereto in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon any such breach shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach. No remedy shall be exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies shall be cumulative.
16. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS SHAREHOLDER. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder hereof any rights as a shareholder of the Company or as imposing any obligation on the Holder to purchase any securities or as imposing any liabilities on the Holder as a shareholder of the Company, whether such obligation or liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
