2. Exercise.
(a) General. Exercise of the

or in part, at any time or times on or before the Termination Date
by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at
the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of
a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form
annexed hereto (“Notice of Exercise”).
Within three (3) Trading Days following the date of exercise as
aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price
(defined below) for the shares specified in the applicable Notice
of Exercise 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 three (3) Trading
Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise 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 within one (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. Under no circumstances will the Company be
required to net cash settle this Warrant upon its
exercise.
(b) Optional Cashless Exercise.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a
registration statement covering the Warrant Shares that are the
subject of the Notice of Exercise (the “Unavailable Warrant
Shares”), or an exemption from registration, is not
available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares to the
public, the registered holder may, in its sole discretion, in lieu
of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the
Company upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the
“Net
Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according
to the following formula:
Net
Number = [(A x B) - (A x C)] / B
For
purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= the
total number of shares with respect to which the Warrant is then
being exercised.
B= the
arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of the shares of
Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on
the date immediately preceding the date of the Notice of
Exercise.
C= the
Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at
the time of such exercise.
(c) Exercise Price. The exercise
price per share of the Warrant Shares shall be $0.10, subject to
adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
(d) Mechanics of
Exercise.
(i) Delivery of Certificates Upon
Exercise. Shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder shall
be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the
account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository
Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if the
Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there
is an effective registration statement permitting the resale of the
Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible
for resale without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to
Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate to
the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by
the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (x) the
delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, (y)
surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (z) payment of (A) if
this Warrant is exercised on a cash basis, the aggregate Exercise
Price as set forth above and (B) all taxes required to be paid by
the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the
issuance of such shares (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been
exercised on the first date on which all of the foregoing have been
delivered to the Company. The Warrant 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, as of the date the Warrant has
been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price
and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant
to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having
been paid.
(ii) 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 the certificate for this Warrant, at
the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of 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.
(iii) Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to
transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the
Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the right
to rescind such exercise.
(iv) Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon
Exercise. If (1) the Company fails to transmit to the Holder
(directly or through the Transfer Agent) a certificate or the
certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an
exercise (or to credit the account of the Holder’s prime
broker at DTC through a DWAC system transaction) on or before the
Warrant Share Delivery Date and (2) prior to the time such
certificate is received by the registered holder (or such account
is credited through a DWAC system transaction), the registered
holder, or any third party on behalf of the registered holder or
for the registered holder’s account, purchases (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver
in satisfaction of a sale by the registered holder of shares
represented by such certificate (or such DWAC system transaction)
(a “Buy-In”), then the
Company shall pay in cash to the registered holder (for costs
incurred either directly by such registered holder or on behalf of
a third party) the amount by which the total purchase price paid
for Common Stock as a result of the Buy-In (including brokerage
commissions, if any) exceeds the proceeds received by such
registered holder as a result of the sale to which such Buy-In
relates. The registered holder shall provide the Company written
notice indicating the amounts payable to the registered holder in
respect of the Buy-In.
(v) 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 the 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.
(vi) 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.
(vii) Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books
or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this
Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
(e) Holder’s Exercise
Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of
this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any
portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the
extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as
set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder
(together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons
acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the
Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of
the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but
shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be
issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion
of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents)
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the
limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any
of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence,
for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being
acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to
the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for
any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the
extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies,
the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in
relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any
Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable
shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission
of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by the Holder together with any
Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in
each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the
Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy
of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group
status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in
determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a
Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or
annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a
more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent
written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written
or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading
Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of
shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving
effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the
date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 4.999% of the number of shares of
the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the
issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice
to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation of this Section 2(e) or may waive the application of
this Section 2(e). Any such increase or decrease or waiver will not
be effective until the 61st day after such
notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this
paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise
than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to
correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be
defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership
Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements
necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a
successor holder of this Warrant.
3. Certain
Adjustments.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If
the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i)
pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or
distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or
equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock
(which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of
Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant),
(ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock
split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common
Stock 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 of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock 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. Any adjustment made pursuant
to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders 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) Fundamental Transactions. If,
at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company,
directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects
any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale,
lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a
series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect,
purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders
of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their
shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted
by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv)
the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or
recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively
converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property,
(v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or
other business combination (including, without limitation, a
reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of
arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not
including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or
other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with
the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase
agreement or other business combination) (each 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 (without regard to any
limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the
number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”)
receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder
of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction
(without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise
of this Warrant). 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 share of Common
Stock 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
Stock 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. The Company shall cause any successor
entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the
survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to
assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this
Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(b)
pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without
unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and
shall, at the option of the holder of this Warrant, deliver to the
Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor
Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in
form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a
corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor
Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common
Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant
(without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant)
prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price
which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of
capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the
shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and
the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of
capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of
protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to
the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon
the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor
Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and
after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of
this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer
instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and
power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the
Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such
Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
(c) 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 shares of Common Stock deemed to be
issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the
number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if
any) issued and outstanding.
(d) Notice to 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.
(ii) Notice
to Allow Exercise by Xxxxxx. If (A) the Company shall
declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on
the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock,
(C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the
Common Stock 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 stockholders of the Company shall be required in
connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, 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, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock
is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (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
(defined below) of the Company, at least twenty (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 Stock 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 Stock of record shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock 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. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder
constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall
simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a
Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to
exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of
such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such
notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth
herein.
4. Limitation on Sales of Warrant
Shares. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares have
not been registered under the Securities Act, and agrees that it
shall not sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any Warrant Shares, in the absence of (i) an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to
such Warrant Shares and registration or qualification of such
Warrant Shares under any applicable “blue sky” or state
securities law then in effect or (ii) an opinion of counsel,
satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and
qualification are not required. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, unless the resale of the Warrant Shares shall have
been effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Warrant
Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be imprinted with
a legend in substantially the following form:
This
security has been acquired for investment and has not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws.
This security may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred in
the absence of such registration or pursuant to an exemption
therefrom under the Securities Act and such laws, supported by an
opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its
counsel, that such registration is not required.
5. Transfer of
Warrant.
(a) Transfer. Subject to compliance
with any applicable state and federal securities laws and the
provisions of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder
may be transferred, in whole or in part, by surrendering this
Warrant at the principal office of the Company 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 agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such
surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee
or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or
denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall
issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this
Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be
cancelled. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance
herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of
Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
(b) New Warrants. This Warrant may
be divided upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the
Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and
denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the
Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section
5(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division,
the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided in accordance
with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges
shall be dated the initial issuance date set forth on the first
page of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant
except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant
thereto.
(c) Warrant Register. The Company
shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in
the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company
may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any
distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent
actual notice to the contrary.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as Stockholder Until
Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any
voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the
Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section
2(d)(i).
(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 stock
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 stock certificate, if mutilated,
the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock
certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in
lieu of such Warrant or stock 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 Stock 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 stock 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 Stock may
be listed. 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 and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance
herewith, 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).
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 Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will

hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such
right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or

Company.

adequate.
