|
The
Exercise Price and the number of shares which can be purchased by the Holder
upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment in the events
and in the manner following:
|
(1)
|
If
and whenever the shares at any time outstanding shall be subdivided into a

may be; upon any such subdivision or consolidation, the number of shares
which can be purchased upon the exercise of this warrant certificate shall

|
In
case of any capital reorganization or of any reclassification of the
capital of the Corporation or in case of the consolidation, merger or
amalgamation of the Corporation with or into any other company, this
Warrant shall after such capital reorganization, reclassification of
capital, consolidation, merger or amalgamation confer the right to
purchase the number of shares or other securities of the Corporation or of
the Corporation resulting from such capital reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or amalgamation, as the case may
be, to which the Holder of the shares deliverable at the time of such
capital reorganization, reclassification of capital, consolidation, merger
or amalgamation, upon the exercise of this Warrant would have been
entitled. On such capital reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger or amalgamation appropriate adjustments shall be
made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to
the rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant so that
the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable as nearly
as may reasonably be in relation to any shares or other securities
thereafter deliverable on the exercise of this

shall, prior to the exercise of any of the rights evidenced hereby, be any
reorganization of the authorized capital of the Corporation by way of
consolidation, merger, subdivision, amalgamation or otherwise, or the
payment of any stock dividends, then there shall automatically be an
adjustment in either or both of the number of shares which may be
purchased pursuant hereto or the price at which such shares may be
purchased so that the rights evidenced hereby shall thereafter as
reasonably as possible be equivalent to those originally granted
hereby. The Corporation shall have the sole and exclusive power
to make such adjustments as it considers necessary and
desirable.

(4)
|
The
adjustments provided for herein in the subscription rights represented by

Right
|
If at any
time during the term of this Warrant the VWAP for each of 20 consecutive Trading
Days exceeds $6.50 (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits,
recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like), then the Corporation may,
within one Trading Day of the end of such period, call for cancellation of all
or any portion of the Warrant for which a notice of exercise has not yet been
delivered to the Corporation (such right, a “Call”). To exercise this right, the
Corporation must deliver to the Holder an irrevocable written notice (a “Call
Notice”), indicating therein the portion of the Warrant to which such notice
applies. If the conditions set forth below for such Call are satisfied from the
period from the date of the Call Notice for which a Notice of Exercise shall not
have been received by the Call Date, then any unexercised portion of this
Warrant subject to the Call Notice shall be cancelled at 6:30 p.m. (Pacific
Standard Time) on the tenth Trading Day after the date the Call Notice is given
by the Corporation (such date and time, the “Call Date”). Any unexercised
portion of the Warrant to which the Call Notice does not pertain will be
unaffected by such Call Notice. In furtherance thereof, the Corporation
covenants and agrees that it will honor all notices of exercises with respect to
Warrant Shares subject to a Call Notice that are tendered through 6:30 p.m.
(Pacific Standard Time) on the Call Date. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Warrant, the Corporation agrees not to exercise its Call right
hereunder unless an effective registration statement registering the Warrant
Shares shall be available for the resale of the related Warrant Shares during
the period commencing on the date of the giving by the Corporation of the Call
Notice and ending on the Call Date.

not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate until such tax or
other charge has been paid or it has been established to the Corporation’s
satisfaction that no such tax or other charge is due.
