All documentation and procedures to be followed in connection with such "cashless exercise" shall be approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall be expeditiously provided and not unreasonably withheld. The Market Price of any shares of Common Stock or Placement Agent Warrants to purchase shares so surrendered shall be based upon the value of the Company's Common Stock at the close of business on the day before exercise based upon the following: (i) if the shares of Common Stock are not listed and traded upon a recognized securities exchange and there is no report of stock prices with respect to the shares of Common Stock published by a recognized stock quotation service, the Company's Board of Directors shall value the shares of Common Stock in good faith; or (ii) if the shares of Common Stock are not then listed and traded upon a recognized securities exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, and there are reports of stock prices by a recognized quotation service, upon the basis of the last reported sale or transaction price of such stock as reported by a recognized quotation service, or, if there is no last reported sale or transaction price on the day before exercise, then upon the basis of the mean of the last reported closing bid and closing asked prices for such stock on the date nearest preceding that day; or (iii) if the shares of Common Stock shall be then listed and traded upon a recognized securities exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, upon the basis of the last reported sale or transaction price at which shares of Common Stock were traded on such recognized securities exchange or NASDAQ Stock Market or, if the shares of Common Stock were not traded on the day before exercise, upon the basis of the last reported sale or transaction price on the date nearest preceding that date. In the event the Company is acquired for either stock, notes, securities, cash or any combination thereof, the holders of the Placement Agent Warrants shall have the option to use the purchase price of the Shares as the value of the Common Stock if the Warrants are being exercised on or about the time of such acquisition. The Placement Agent Warrants shall contain broad-based weighted average anti-dilution provisions to protect the holders of such Warrants from dilution. Such provisions shall be mutually agreed to by the Placement Agent and the Company. Commencing 12 months after the final closing date of this offering and expiring four years thereafter, upon request of the Placement Agent or the holders of a majority of the Placement Agent Securities, on one occasion only at the Company's sole expense, the Company shall file a registration statement under the Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to register the Placement Agent Securities for resale unless such shares can be resold without volume restriction pursuant to Rule 144. The Company agrees to register such securities expeditiously and, where possible, within forty-five (45) business days after receipt of such request. The Company agrees to use its "best efforts" to cause the registration statement to become effective as soon as possible and to keep such registration statement current until the earlier of (i) 18 months from the initial effective date of the registration statement or (ii) the sale of all registered securities, so that the holders of Placement Agent Securities can publicly offer their shares for sale. The Placement Agent may demand registration without the holders of the Placement Agent Securities being required to exercise the Placement Agent Warrants and acquire the underlying securities. Commencing 12 months after the final closing date of this Offering and expiring four years thereafter, in the event that the Company should file a Registration Statement with the Commission pursuant to the Act, regardless of whether some of the holders of the Placement Agent Securities shall have theretofore availed themselves of the right provided in the preceding paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, will offer to said holders the opportunity to register for resale to the public the Placement Agent Securities. This paragraph is not applicable to a Registration Statement filed by the Company with the SEC on Form S-8 or any other inappropriate form. The piggy-back registration rights described in this paragraph shall be unlimited until such time as the current holders of the Placement Agent Securities have notified the Company that they no longer own such securities.
