3


 

written notice of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, and shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price in cash or wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank. Such notice shall be substantially in the form of the subscription form appearing at the end of this Warrant as Exhibit A, duly executed by the Holder or his agent or attorney. Upon receipt of the items referred to above, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, execute or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as hereinafter provided. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the Holder shall request in the notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to Section 9, such other name as shall be designated in the notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the notice, together with the cash or check or wire transfer of funds and this Warrant is received by the Company as described above and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2.2 prior to the issuance of such shares have been paid, provided that if the Warrant is exercised in connection with a merger, reorganization or other Fundamental Corporate Change, such exercise may be made conditional upon the consummation of such event. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or, at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to register shares in the name of any Person who acquired this Warrant (or part hereof) or any Warrant Shares otherwise than in accordance with this Warrant.

The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery thereof, unless such tax or charge is a tax on income imposed by law upon the Holder in connection with the issuance of the Common Stock to a person other than the Holder, in which case such taxes or charges shall be paid by the Holder.
          2.3 Fractional Shares
          The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the date of exercise of the Warrant giving rise to such fraction of a share.

          2.4 Cashless Exercise During Event
          Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary, from and after the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, whenever an Event has occurred and is continuing and at any time after the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, the Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of the aggregate Exercise Price in respect of the shares of Common Stock to be acquired, shares of Common Stock of equal value to the value of this Warrant, or any specified portion hereof, by the surrender of this Warrant (or such portion of this Warrant being so exercised) together with a subscription form in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with appropriate modification to reflect such cashless exercise, duly executed, to the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is computed using the following formula:
                 
 
  X   =   Y (A — B)
 
A
   
          where
          X =    the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such cashless exercise;
          Y =    the total number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant for which the Holder has surrendered purchase rights at such time for cashless exercise (including both shares to be issued to the Holder and shares as to which the purchase rights are to be canceled as payment therefor);
          A =    the Market Price of one share of Common Stock as at the date the net issue election is made; and
          B =    the Warrant Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net issue election is made.
          2.5 Buy-In
          If at any time when a Registration Statement is in effect or required to be in effect with respect to the Warrant Shares, as provided for by the Securities Purchase Agreement, (a) a certificate representing the Warrant Shares is not delivered to the Holder within three (3) Business Days of the due exercise of this Warrant by the Holder and (b) prior to the time such certificate is received by the Holder, the Holder, or any third party on behalf of the Holder or for the Holder’s account, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares represented by such certificate (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (for costs incurred either directly by such 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 Holder as a result of the sale to which such Buy-In relates. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

          Subject to compliance with Section 9, transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company referred to in Section 2.1 or the office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 12, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto duly executed by the Holder or his 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, subject to Section 9, execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination 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 canceled. A Warrant, if properly assigned in compliance with Section 9, may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock without having a new warrant issued.
          3.2 Division and Combination
          Subject to Section 9, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office or agency 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 his agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Sections 3.1 and 9, as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.
          3.3 Expenses

          4. ADJUSTMENTS
          The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, or the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Company shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 at the time of such event.
          4.1 Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations
          If at any time the Company shall:
          (a) declare or pay to the holders of its Common Stock a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock or in Convertible Securities;
          (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock; or
          (c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock;
          then (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the occurrence of such event, and (ii) the then-current Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the then-current Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
          4.2 Certain Other Distributions
          If at any time the Company shall declare or pay to the holders of its Common Stock any dividend or other distribution of:
          (a) cash;
          (b) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its stock or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Convertible Securities or additional shares of Common Stock); any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its stock or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Convertible Securities or additional shares of Common Stock);
          then, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to receive such dividend or distribution as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant prior to the date of such dividend or distribution. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par

7


 

value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4.2 and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4.1.
          4.3 Dilutive Issuances
          If at any time after the Issuance Date the Company shall issue or sell shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (other than (i) securities issued or issuable in Excluded Issuances or (ii) shares of Common Stock issued as a result of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or (iii) a subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than $0.86, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) (i) determined in accordance with the following formula:
                 
 
  New Exercise Price   =   P1 Q1 + P2 Q2
 
Q1 + Q2
   
          where:
             
 
  P1   =   Applicable Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such new issue or sale.
 
  Q1   =   Number of shares of Common Stock outstanding plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of Convertible Securities outstanding immediately prior to such new issue or sale.
 
  P2   =   100% of the weighted average price per share of Common Stock received or deemed by the Company upon such new issue or sale.
 
  Q2   =   Number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued, in the subject transaction.
          For purposes of this Section 4.3, upon the sale or issuance of Convertible Securities, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) shall be deemed to be issued as of the time of such issue or sale and the consideration deemed received for such shares of Common Stock shall be the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue of such Convertible Securities plus the minimum additional consideration to be received by the Company upon the full exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. Insofar as any consideration received, or to be received, by the Company consists of property other than cash, such consideration shall be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue or sale, as determined in good faith by the Board.

          4.4 Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section
          The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the current Exercise Price provided for in this Section 4:
          (a) When Adjustments to be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
          (b) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/10th of a share.
          (c) When Adjustment not Required. 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 distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to the holders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
          4.5 Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets
          In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another Person (where the Company is not the survivor or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another Person, or effectuate a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is disposed of (each, a “Fundamental Corporate Change”) and, pursuant to the terms of such Fundamental Corporate Change, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring Company, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring Company (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, such number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring Company or of the Company, if it is the surviving Company, and Other Property as is receivable upon or as a result of such Fundamental Corporate Change by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Corporate Change. In case of any such Fundamental Corporate Change, this Warrant shall expire and be of no further force and effect on the closing date of such Fundamental Corporate Change and, in lieu of any other rights of the Holder hereunder, the Holder shall have the right to receive, with within five Business Days of the closing of such Fundamental Corporate Change, cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Fundamental Corporate Change. In the event the Company and the Holder are unable to agree

9


 

on the Black Scholes Value, the parties shall submit the matter to a mutually agreeable accounting firm of regional or national stature for the purpose of making a binding determination of the Black Scholes Value.
          4.6 Other Action Affecting Common Stock
          In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take any action in respect of its Common Stock, other than any action described in this Section 4, or any other event occurs, which would have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock and/or the purchase price thereof shall be adjusted in such manner as may be equitable in the circumstances, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
          4.7 Nasdaq Limitation; Par Value Limitation
          (a) Notwithstanding any other provision in Sections 4.3 or 4.6 to the contrary, if a reduction in the Exercise Price pursuant to Sections 4.3 or 4.6 would require the Company to obtain stockholder approval of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635 and such stockholder approval has not been obtained, (i) the Exercise Price shall be reduced under Section 4.3, or may be reduced under Section 4.6, to the maximum extent that would not require stockholder approval under such Rule, and (ii) the Company shall under Section 4.3, or may under Section 4.6, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such stockholder approval as soon as reasonably practicable, including by calling a special meeting of stockholders to vote on such Exercise Price adjustment. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Warrantholder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental Corporate Change.
          (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees not to enter into any transaction which, by reason of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the Exercise Price to be less than the par value per share of Common Stock.
          (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees not to adjust the number of its shares of Common Stock that may be issued to the Holder of the Warrant as a result of any change to the Warrant pursuant to this Section 4 in any way that would violate Nasdaq Rules.
          5. NOTICES TO THE HOLDER
          5.1 Notice of Adjustments
          Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, or whenever the price at which a share of such Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants, shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall forthwith prepare a certificate to be executed by the chief financial officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of

10


 

Directors of the Company determined the fair value of any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights referred to in Section 4.2), specifying the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and (if such adjustment was made pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.5) describing the number and kind of any other shares of stock or Other Property for which this Warrant is exercisable, and any change in the purchase price or prices thereof, after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Company shall promptly cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder in accordance with Section 14.2. The Company shall keep, along with the transfer register maintained in accordance with Section 3.4, copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours by the Holder or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the Holder.
          5.2 Notice of Corporate Action
          If at any time:
          (a) 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, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right; or
          (b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another Company; or
          (c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place.

          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, issuance or sale of securities or other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
          Upon the request of the Holder, the Company will at any time during the period this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form satisfactory to the Holder, the continuing validity of this Warrant and the obligations of the Company hereunder.
          7. RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF COMMON STOCK
          From and after the Issuance Date, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. All shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of any Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights.
          Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the then-current Exercise Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Exercise Price.
          Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the then-current Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
          8. TAKING OF RECORD; STOCK AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS
          In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4 refers to the taking of

12


 

record of such holders, the Company will in each case take such a record and will take such record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.
          9. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY
          The Warrants and the Warrant Shares shall not be transferred, hypothecated or assigned before satisfaction of the conditions specified in the legend affixed to the first page of this Warrant, which conditions are intended, in part, to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the Transfer of any Warrant or any Warrant Shares. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.
          10. LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE.
          (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Warrantholder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Warrantholder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Warrantholder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), does not exceed 19.9% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Warrantholder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental Corporate Change.
          11. LOSS OR MUTILATION
          Upon receipt by the Company from the Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that the written agreement of the Holder shall be sufficient indemnity), and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor to the Holder; provided, in the case of mutilation no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.
          12. OFFICE OF THE COMPANY
          As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices of the Company) where the

13


 

Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant.
          13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
          No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed in any manner to limit or deny the liability of a Holder in any other capacity, including, without limitation, as a director of the Company.
          14. MISCELLANEOUS
          14.1 Nonwaiver
          No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No waiver by the Holder of any right hereunder on any one occasion shall operate as a waiver of such right on any other occasion.
          14.2 Notice Generally
          Except as may be otherwise provided herein, any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile (provided the sender receives a machine-generated confirmation of successful transmission) at the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. eastern time on a Business Day, (b) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 6:30 p.m. eastern time on any Business Day, (c) the Business Day following the date of transmission, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be the same as provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement; or such other address as may be designated in writing hereafter, in the same manner, by such addressee.
          14.3 Remedies
          The Holder in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under Section 2 of this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of Section 2 of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

          14.4 Successors and Assigns
          Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 9, this Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant and, with respect to Section 9 hereof, the holders of Warrant Shares, and shall be enforceable by any such holder or the holder of Warrant Shares.
          14.5 Amendment
          This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
          14.6 Severability
          Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall only be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
          14.7 Headings
          The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
          14.8 Governing Law
          This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the provisions thereof relating to conflicts of law.
          14.9 Disputes
          In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the securities or other property deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly issue and deliver to the Holder the securities or other properties that are not in dispute.
