(a)           this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, and

 
2
 

(b)           payment in cash, by check or by wire transfer of an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Warrant Stock being purchased upon such exercise by the then effective Purchase Price (the "Exercise Amount").

2.2          Net Issue Exercise.  In lieu of the payment methods set forth in Section 2.1(b) above, the Holder may elect to exchange all or some of the Warrant for shares of Warrant Stock equal to the value of the amount of the Warrant being exchanged on the date of exchange. If the Holder elects to exchange this Warrant as provided in this Section 2.2, the Holder shall tender to the Company the Warrant for the amount being exchanged, along with written notice of the Holder's election to exchange some or all of the Warrant, and the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of the Warrant Stock computed using the following formula:

X = Y (A-B)
 
 A

Where:

X = the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to the Holder;

Y = the total number of shares of Warrant Stock as to which this Warrant is being exercised;

A = the Fair Market Value of one share of Warrant Stock; and

B = the Purchase Price of one share of Warrant Stock (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

All references herein to an "exercise" of the Warrant shall include an exchange pursuant to this Section 2.2.

2.4           Stock Certificates; Fractional Shares.  As soon as practicable on or after any date of exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share equal to such fraction of the current Fair Market Value of one whole share of Warrant Stock as of the date of exercise of this Warrant. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon an exercise of this Warrant.

 
3
 

2.5           Partial Exercise; Effective Date of Exercise.  In case of any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon surrender hereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the shares of Warrant Stock purchasable hereunder. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above. The Person entitled to receive the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the date the Holder is deemed to have exercised this Warrant.

2.6           Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a)           If the Company shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased.  If the Company shall combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased.  If the Company shall make or issue a dividend or other distribution payable in securities, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant shall receive upon exercise hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities that the holder of this Warrant would have received had this Warrant been exercised for Common Stock on the date of such event and had such holder thereafter during the period from the date of such event to and including the date of exercise of this Warrant retained such securities receivable by such holder as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period under this paragraph.  If the Company shall reclassify its Common Stock (including any reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation), then and in each such event provision shall be made so that such holder shall receive upon exercise hereof the amount of such reclassified Common Stock that such holder would have received had this Warrant been exercised for Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification and had such holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the date of exercise of this Warrant, retained such reclassified Common Stock, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period under this paragraph with respect to the rights of the holder of this Warrant.

(b)           Whenever the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 2.6, the Company shall forthwith provide notice of such adjustment to the holder of this Warrant together with a statement, certified by the chief financial officer of the Company, showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Purchase Price that shall be in effect after such adjustment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment in the Purchase Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in such Purchase Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (b) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

 
4
 

(c)           In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or the conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation, this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable (to the extent such exercise is permitted hereunder) into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or conveyance; and, in any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holder of this Warrant, to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall be thereafter applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the this Warrant.

3.           VALID ISSUANCE; TAXES.  All shares of Warrant Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; provided that the Company shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of the issue or delivery thereof. The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issuance of any certificate for shares of Warrant Stock in any name other than that of the Registered Holder of this Warrant, and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate or security until such tax or other charge has been paid, or it has been established to the Company's reasonable satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.

4.           LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like tenor as the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

5.           RESERVATION OF WARRANT STOCK. The Company hereby covenants that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Warrant Stock, Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company as are from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. All such shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights, except encumbrances or restrictions arising under federal or state securities laws. Issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to the Company's officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Warrant Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
