REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER. The Company shall maintain books for the transfer and registration of Warrants. Upon the transfer of any Warrants in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 hereof (a "Permitted Transfer"), the Company shall issue and register the Warrants in the name(s) of the new Holder(s). The Warrants shall be signed manually by the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President on the one hand, and the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company on the other hand. The Company shall transfer, from time to time, any outstanding Warrants upon the books to be maintained by the Company for such purpose upon surrender thereof for transfer properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any Permitted Transfer, a new Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrants shall be canceled by the Company. Warrants may be exchanged at the option of the Holder, when surrendered at the office of the Company, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of Shares. Subject to the terms of this Warrant Certificate, upon such surrender and payment of the Exercise Price at any time after the Initial Exercise Date, the Company shall issue and deliver with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the Holder of such Warrants and in such name or names as such Holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Shares so purchased upon the exercise of such Warrants. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become the Holder of record of such Shares as of the date of the surrender of such Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price; provided, however, that if, at the date of surrender and payment, the transfer books of the Common Stock shall be closed, the certificates for the Shares shall be issuable as of the date on which such books shall be opened and until such date the Company shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Shares; provided, further, however, that such transfer books, unless otherwise required by law or by applicable rule of any national securities exchange, shall not be closed at any one time for a period longer than 3 days. The rights of purchase represented by the Warrants shall be exercisable, at the election of the Holders, either as an entirety or from time to time for only part of the Shares at any time on or after the Initial Exercise Date. 5. STAMP TAX. The Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for Shares in a name other than that of the Holder in respect of which such Shares are issued, and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for Shares or any Warrant until the person requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the Company's satisfaction that such tax has been paid. 6. LOST, STOLEN OR MUTILATED CERTIFICATES. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant, and (a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the Holder of such Warrant is, or is a nominee for, an original holder, such 3 person's own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant identical in all respects to such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant. 7. RESERVED SHARES. The Company warrants that there have been reserved, and covenants that at all times in the future it shall keep reserved, out of the authorized and unissued Common Stock, a number of shares sufficient to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this Warrant Certificate. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant at the Exercise Price then in effect, the Company shall take such corporate action as may, in the reasonable opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (and, if applicable, of any other securities for which this Warrant may be exercised) to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. The Company agrees that all Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Shares, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable and that the issuance of such Shares will not give rise to preemptive rights in favor of existing stockholders. 8. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. (A) DIVIDENDS, RECLASSIFICATIONS, RECAPITALIZATIONS, REORGANIZATIONS, ETC. In the event that the Company shall, at any time prior to the exercise of this Warrant and prior to the full exercise hereof: (i) declare or pay to the holders of the Common Stock a dividend payable in any kind of shares of stock of the Company; or (ii) adopt a plan of reorganization or recapitalization or change, divide or otherwise reclassify its Common Stock into the same or a different number of shares with or without par value, or in shares of any class or classes; or (iii) sell, lease, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; or (iv) merge or consolidate with or into one or more corporations or other entities; or (v) make any distribution of its assets to holders of its Common Stock as a liquidation or partial liquidation dividend or by way of return of capital; then, upon the subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall receive, in addition to or in substitution for the shares of Common Stock to which it would otherwise be entitled upon such exercise, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock the Holder would have received had all Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant been issued immediately prior to the happening of any of the foregoing events, at a price equal to the Exercise Price then in effect (the kind, amount and price of such stock and other securities to be subject to adjustment as herein provided). (B) MERGERS, ETC. The Company covenants and agrees that it will not merge or consolidate with or into or sell, lease, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation or entity unless at the time of or prior to such transaction such other corporation or other entity shall expressly assume all of the liabilities and obligations of the Company under this Warrant and (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) shall expressly agree that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter have the right to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant the number and kind of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable 4 upon such transaction by a Holder of the number and kind of shares which would have been receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such transaction. (C) NOTICE OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall pay any dividend payable in cash or in Common Stock, shall offer to the holders of its Common Stock rights for subscription or purchase by them of any shares of stock of any class or any other rights, shall enter into an agreement to merge or consolidate with another corporation, or shall propose to liquidate or dissolve, then the Company shall cause notice thereof to be mailed to the registered Holder of this Warrant at its address appearing on the registration books of the Company, at least 30 days prior to (i) the record date as of which holders of Common Stock shall participate in such dividend, distribution, subscription or other rights, or liquidation or dissolution or (ii) the effective date of any such event or transaction and shall permit the Holder to exercise this Warrant or any unexercised portion thereof at any time within 20 days following receipt of such notice, provided, however, that the Company will not provide notice of any such event prior to public announcement if such event is deemed by the Company to be material, and in any such case, the Company shall not be in violation of this provision. (D) ADJUSTMENTS TO EXERCISE PRICE. If at any time after the date of issuance hereof the Company shall grant or issue any shares of Common Stock, or grant or issue any rights, warrants or options for the purchase of, stock or other securities convertible into, Common Stock (such convertible stock or securities being herein collectively referred to as "Convertible Securities") other than: (i) shares issued in a transaction described in Subsection (E) of this Section 8; or (ii) shares issued, subdivided or combined in transactions described in Subsection (A) of this Section 8 if and to the extent that an adjustment to the Exercise Price shall have been previously made pursuant to this Section 8 as a result of such issuance, subdivision or combination of such securities; for a consideration per share which is less than the Exercise Price, then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (the "Applicable Exercise Price") shall, and thereafter upon each issuance or sale, the Applicable Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with such issuance or sale, be adjusted, so that such Applicable Exercise Price shall equal a price determined by multiplying the Applicable Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be: (a) the sum of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received, as determined in accordance with Subsection (F) below for the issuance or sale of such additional Common Stock or Convertible Securities deemed to be an issuance of Common Stock as provided in Subsection (G) below would purchase at the Applicable Exercise Price (including any consideration received by the Company upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities since the date the Applicable Exercise Price became effective not previously included in any computation resulting in an adjustment pursuant to this Subsection (D)) at the Applicable Exercise Price; and the denominator of which shall be: 5 (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (or deemed to be outstanding as provided in Subsection (G)) immediately after the issuance or sale of such additional shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Subsection (D), the total number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be such number of shares (calculated to the nearest tenth) purchasable at the Applicable Exercise Price multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. (E) EXCLUSIONS. Anything in this Section 8 to contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be made in connection with any of the following: (i) the grant, issuance or exercise of any Convertible Securities pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Plans or any other bona fide employee benefit plan or incentive arrangements adopted by the Company's Board of Directors; or (ii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the grant or exercise of Convertible Securities outstanding prior to the Initial Exercise Date; or (iii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock to satisfy certain registration default obligations with respect to securities held by Halifax Fund, L.P. and Palladin Opportunity Fund, L.L.C.; or (iv) the issuance of up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock (including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of Convertible Securities) in connection with the acquisition, in whole or in part, of the assets or stock of another entity or any part thereof that is currently subject to a letter of intent; or (v) the issuance of less than 50,000 shares of Common Stock, in aggregate, to satisfy accounts payable; or (vi) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants included in the Units. (F) CALCULATION OF CONSIDERATION. For the purpose of Subsection (D) above, the following provisions shall also be applied: (i) In case of the issuance or sale of additional shares of Common Stock for cash, the consideration received by the Company therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by the Company for such shares, after deducting therefrom any commissions, compensations or other expenses paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting or placement of, or otherwise in connection with the issuance or sale of such shares. 6 (ii) In case of the issuance of Convertible Securities, the consideration received by the Company therefor shall be deemed to be the gross amount of cash calculated in accordance with subsection (F)(i) above, if any, received by the Company for the issuance of such rights or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum amounts of cash and fair value of other consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of such rights or options or payable to the Company on conversion of such Convertible Securities. (iii) In the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities for a consideration in whole or in part, other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (irrespective of the accounting treatment thereof); provided, however, that if such consideration consists of the cancellation of debt issued by the Company, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount the Company received upon issuance of such debt (net proceeds) plus accrued interest and, in the case of original issue discount or zero coupon indebtedness, accreted value to the date of such cancellation, but not including any premium or discount at which the debt may then be trading or which might otherwise be appropriate for such class of debt. (iv) In case of the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock upon the conversion or exchange of any obligations (other than Convertible Securities), the amount of the consideration received by the Company for such Common Stock shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the Company for such obligations or shares so converted or exchanged, after deducting from such consideration so received by the Company any expenses or commissions or compensations incurred or paid by the Company for any underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance or sale of such obligations or shares, plus any consideration received by the Company in connection with such conversion or exchange other than a payment in adjustment of interest and dividends. If obligations or shares of the same class or series of a class as the obligations or shares so converted or exchanged have been originally issued for different amounts of consideration, then the amount of consideration received by the Company upon the original issuance of each of the obligations or shares so converted or exchanged shall be deemed to be the average amount of the consideration received by the Company upon the original issuance of all such obligations or shares. The amount of consideration received by the Company upon the original issuance of the obligations or shares so converted or exchanged and the amount of the consideration, if any, other than such obligations or shares, received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange shall be determined in the same manner as provided in Subsections (F)(i) and (F)(iii) above with respect to the consideration received by the Company in case of the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities. (v) In the case of the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued in payment of such dividend shall be deemed to have been 7 issued at the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to such dividend and shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration; provided, however, that if the Company, after fixing such record date, shall legally abandon its plan to so issue Common Stock as a dividend, no adjustment of the Applicable Exercise Price shall be required by reason of the fixing of such record date. (G) DEEMED ISSUANCES OF COMMON STOCK. For purposes of the adjustments provided for in Subsection (D) above, if at any time, the Company shall issue any Convertible Securities, the Company shall be deemed to have issued at the time of the issuance of such Convertible Securities the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the total amount of such Convertible Securities. (H) CARRY FORWARDS. Anything in this Section 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 5% in such Exercise Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Subsection (H) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in making subsequent adjustments. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest tenth of a share, as the case may be. (I) FAIR MARKET VALUE. For purposes of payments for fractional Shares pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of any such fractional share payment shall be the arithmetical average of the following prices for such of the twenty (20) business days immediately preceding the date of inquiry as shall be available: (i) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or National Association of Securities Dealer's Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") National Market, the last sale price on such day or, if there shall have been no sale on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such exchange or National Market on such day; or (ii) If (i) shall not apply but the Common Stock shall be included in the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, the average of the last sales price on such day or, if there shall have been no sale on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day quoted by brokers and dealers making a market in NASDAQ, furnished by any member of the New York Stock Exchange or NASD selected by the Company for that purpose; or (iii) If (i) and (ii) shall not apply but the Common Stock shall be quoted on the NASD's OTC Bulletin Board or be quoted by three brokers regularly making a market in such shares in the over-the-counter market, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day, furnished by any member of the New York Stock Exchange or NASD selected by the Company for that purpose; or 8 (iv) If none of (i), (ii) or (iii) shall apply, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in its sole discretion. (J) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then and in each such case the Company shall promptly deliver a notice to the registered Holder of this Warrant, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise hereof, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. 9. CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Holder of this Warrant Certificate shall be entitled to those rights to register the public resale of the Shares under the Act as are contained in Section E of the Securities Purchase Agreement executed by the Holder and the Company in connection with the issuance of the Units and the provisions of such Section E are deemed incorporated herein by reference. 10. REDEMPTION PROVISIONS. This Warrant may be redeemed at the option of the Company, at a redemption price of $0.10 per share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (the "Redemption Price"), at any time after the first anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date, provided that the closing sale price for the Common Stock, as reported by the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("Nasdaq"), or other similar organization if Nasdaq is no longer reporting such information or the Company's securities are no longer traded on Nasdaq, shall have equaled or exceeded 180% of the then current Exercise Price (a "Qualifying Price") for any 20 trading days in any 30 trading day period (a "Qualifying Date"), provided that the average daily trading volume during such 30 trading day period is greater than 100,000 shares per day as reported by Nasdaq or such other organization. In the event the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to Subsection (D) of Section 8 hereof, the Qualifying Price shall be subject to adjustment by the same percentage change as the percentage change in the Exercise Price.
