common stock, of the Company set forth herein, subject to the terms and
conditions contained herein.
1. Issuance
of Warrant; Exercise Price.
The
Warrant, which shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit

the
payment by you to the Company of the sum of US $0.001 cash per share of common
stock subject to the Warrant, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged. The Warrant shall provide that you and such other holder(s) of
the
Warrant, as such may be assigned in accordance herewith, shall have the right
to
purchase an aggregate of up to __________ shares of common stock for an exercise
price equal to $_____ per share (the “Exercise Price”), as described more fully

to
adjustment as hereinafter provided, and the term “shares” shall mean, unless the
context otherwise requires, the shares of common stock and other securities
and

shall mean, unless the context otherwise requires, the price per share
purchasable under the Warrant as set forth in this Section 1, as adjusted from
time to time pursuant to Section 5.
2. Notices
of Record Date.
In the
event of (i) any taking by the Company of a record date with respect to the
holder(s) of any class of securities of the Company for purposes of determining
which of such holder(s) are entitled to dividends or other distributions, or
any
right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of stock of any
class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right,
(ii) any capital reorganization of the Company, or reclassification or
recapitalization of capital stock of the Company or any transfer in one or
more
related transactions of all or a majority of the assets or revenue or income
generating capacity of the Company to, or consolidation or merger of the Comany
with or into, any other entity or person, or (iii) any voluntary or
involuntary dissolution or winding up of the Company, then and in each such
event the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to each holder of a Warrant
at
the time outstanding a notice specifying, as the case may be, (a) the date
on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution or right; or (b) the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place and the time, if any
is
to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of shares (or any other class
of
stock or securities of the Company, or another issuer pursuant to Section 5,
receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange
their
shares (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other property
deliverable upon such event. Any such notice shall be deposited in the United
States mail, postage prepaid, at least ten (10) days prior to the date therein
specified, and the holder(s) of the Warrant(s) may exercise the Warrant(s)
and
participate in such event as a registered holder of shares, upon exercise of
the
Warrant(s) so held, within the ten (10) day period from the date of mailing
such
notice.
3. No
Impairment.
The
Company shall not, by amendment of its organizational documents or through
any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue
or
sale of securities, or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this Agreement or of the Warrant, but will
at
all times in good faith take any and all action as may be necessary in order
to
protect the rights of the holder(s) of the Warrant against impairment. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will at all times
reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise
of
the Warrant, shares issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrant,
(b)
will not increase the par value of any shares of stock receivable upon exercise
of the Warrant above the amount payable in respect thereof upon such exercise,
and (c) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable
stock upon the exercise of the Warrant, or any portion of it.
4. Exercise
of Warrant.
(a) Exercise
for Cash.
At any
time and from time to time on and after one hundred eighty (180) days after
the
closing of the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock (the “IPO”)
and expiring on ____________
___, ____
at 11:59
p.m., Richmond, Virginia time (the “Exercise Period”), the Warrant may be
exercised as to all or any portion of the whole number of shares covered by
the
Warrant by the holder thereof by surrender of the Warrant, accompanied by a
subscription for shares to be purchased in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit
B
and by a
check payable to the order of the Company in the amount required for purchase
of
the shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised, delivered to the Company
at its principal office at 00-00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0X-0, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx
00000, Attention: President.
(b) Cashless
Exercise.
In
addition, during the Exercise Period and to the extent that the Company has
failed to register the shares issuable hereunder in accordance with Section
7
hereof within 90 days of the notification of the Company of the exercise of
such
demand registration right, the Warrant may be exercised as to all or any portion
of the whole number of shares covered by the Warrant by the holder thereof
by
surrender of Warrant together with irrevocable instructions to the Company
to
issue in exchange for the Warrant the number of shares equal to the product
of
(i) the number of shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised multiplied
by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the Current Value of an share
less
the Exercise Price therefor and the denominator of which is such Current Value.
In the case of the purchase of less than all the shares purchasable under the
Warrant, the Company shall cancel such Warrant and shall execute and deliver
a
new Warrant of like tenor for the unexercised balance. For the purposes hereof,
“Exercise Date” shall mean the date on which all deliveries required to be made
to the Company upon exercise of the Warrant pursuant to this Section 4 shall
have been made.
2
(c) Issuance
of Certificates.
Upon
the exercise of a Warrant in whole or in part, the Company will within five
(5)
days thereafter, at its expense (including the payment by the Company of any
applicable issue or transfer taxes), cause to be issued in the name of and
delivered to the Warrant holder a certificate or certificates for the number
of
fully paid and non-assessable shares to which such holder is entitled upon
exercise of the Warrant. In the event such holder is entitled to a fractional
share, in lieu thereof such holder shall be paid a cash amount equal to such
fraction, multiplied by the Current Value of one full share on the date of
exercise. Certificates for shares issuable by reason of the exercise of the
Warrant shall be dated and shall be effective as of the date of the surrendering
of the Warrant for exercise, notwithstanding any delays in the actual execution,
issuance or delivery of the certificates for the shares so purchased. In the
event the Warrant is exercised as to less than the aggregate amount of all
shares issuable upon exercised as to less than the aggregate amount of all
shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant held by such person, the Company
shall issue a new Warrant to the holder of the Warrant so exercised covering
the
aggregate number of shares as to which the Warrant remains unexercised. In
addition to the foregoing, should the Company fail to issue the stock
certificate or certificates within the time limits referenced in the first
sentence of this Section 4(c), if and to the extent not already utilized as
to
the Warrant or the shares underlying the Warrant, the holder may utilize the
cashless exercise contained in Section 4(b) hereof.
(d) Current
Value.
For
purposes of this section, “Current Value” is defined (i) in the case for which a
public market exists for the shares at the time of such exercise, at a price
per
share equal to (A) the average of the means between the closing bid and asked
prices of the shares in the over-the-counter market for 20 consecutive business
days commencing 30 business days before the date of such notice, (B) if the
shares are quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market, at the average of the means
of
the daily closing bid and asked prices of the shares for 20 consecutive business
days commencing 30 business days before the date of such notice, or (C) if
the
shares are listed on any national securities exchange or The Nasdaq National
Market, at the average of the daily closing prices of the shares for 20
consecutive business days commencing 30 business days before the date of such
notice, and (ii) in the case no public market exists at the time of such
exercise, at the Appraised Value. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Appraised
Value” is the value determined in accordance with the following procedures. For
a period of five (5) days after the date of an event (a “Valuation Event”)
requiring determination of Current Value at a time when no public market exists
for the shares (the “Negotiation Period”), each party to this Agreement agrees
to negotiate in good faith to reach agreement upon the Appraised Value of the
securities or property at issue, as of the date of the Valuation Event, which
will be the fair market value of such securities or property, without premium
for control or discount for minority interests, illiquidity or restrictions
on
transfer. In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon the Appraised
Value of such securities or other property by the end of the Negotiation Period,
then the Appraised Value of such securities or property will be determined
for
purposes of this Agreement by a recognized appraisal or investment banking
firm
mutually agreeable to the holder(s) of the Warrant and the Company (the
“Appraiser”). If the holder(s) of the Warrant and the Company cannot agree on an
Appraiser within two (2) business days after the end of the Negotiation Period,
the Company, on the one hand, and the holder(s) of the Warrant, on the other
hand, will each select an Appraiser within ten (10) business days after the
end
of the Negotiation Period and those Appraisers will determine the fair market
value of such securities or property, without premium for control or discount
for minority interests. Such independent Appraiser(s) will be directed to
determine fair market value of such securities or property as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the date of its
selection. The determination by Appraiser(s) of the fair market value will
be
conclusive and binding on all parties to this Agreement. If there are two
Appraisers, and they do not agree as to fair market value, then fair market
value shall be determined to be the average of the fair market values as
determined by each Appraiser. Appraised Value of each share at a time when
(i)
the Company is not a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934
and (ii) the shares are not traded in the organized securities markets, will,
in
all cases, be calculated by determining the Appraised Value of the entire
Company taken as a whole and dividing that value by the number of shares then
outstanding, without premium for control or discount for minority interests,
illiquidity or restrictions on transfer. The costs of the Appraiser(s) will
be
borne by the Company. In no event will the Appraised Value of the shares be
less
than the per share consideration received or receivable with respect to the
shares or securities or property of the same class in connection with a pending
transaction involving a sale, merger, recapitalization, reorganization,
consolidation, or share exchange, dissolution of the Company, sale or transfer
of all or a majority of its assets or revenue or income generating capacity,
or
similar transaction.

5. Protection
Against Dilution.
The
Exercise Price for the shares and number of shares issuable upon exercise of
the
Warrant, in whole or in part, is subject to adjustment from time to time as
described in this Section 5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Warrant Agreement is intended or may be construed to violate any NASD Conduct
Rule. In particular, the anti-dilution provisions of this Warrant Agreement
shall be interpreted in compliance with Rule 2710(f)(2)(H)(vi) and (vii) of
the
NASD Conduct Rules.
(a) Stock
Dividends, Subdivisions, Reclassifications, Etc.
In case
at any time or from time to time after the date of execution of this Agreement,
the Company shall (i) take a record of the holders of shares for the purpose
of
entitling them to receive a dividend or a distribution on shares payable in
shares or other class of securities, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its
outstanding shares of shares into a greater number shares, or (iii) combine
or
reclassify its outstanding shares into a smaller number of shares, then, and
in
each such case, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date
for
such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision,
combination or reclassification shall be adjusted in such a manner that the
Exercise Price for the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant immediately
after such event shall bear the same ratio to the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to any such event as the total number of shares outstanding
immediately prior to such event shall bear to the total number of shares
outstanding immediately after such event.
(b) Adjustment
of Number of Shares Purchasable.
When
any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price under this Section
5, (i) the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, in whole
or
in part, shall be changed (upward to the nearest full share) to the number
of
shares determined by dividing (x) an amount equal to the number of shares
issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to the
adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
the
adjustment, by (y) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such
adjustment, and (ii) upon exercise of the Warrant, the holder will be entitled
to receive the number of shares of other securities referred to in Section
5(a)
that such holder would have received had the Warrant been exercised prior to
the
events referred to in Section 5(a).
4
(c) Adjustment
for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc.
In case
of any reorganization or consolidation of the Company with, or any merger of
the
Company with or into, another entity (other than a consolidation or merger
in
which the Company is the surviving corporation) or in case of any sale or
transfer to another entity of the majority of assets of the Company, the entity
resulting from such reorganization or consolidation or surviving such merger
or
to which such sale or transfer shall be made, as the case may be, shall make
suitable provision (which shall be fair and equitable to each holder of a
Warrant) and shall assume the obligations of the Company hereunder (by written
instrument executed and mailed to each holder of a Warrant then outstanding)
pursuant to which, upon exercise of the Warrant, at any time after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, the
holder shall be entitled to receive the stock or other securities or property
that such holder would have been entitled to upon consummation if such holder
had exercised the Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further
adjustment as provided in this Section 5.
(d) Certificate
as to Adjustments.
In the
event of adjustment as herein provided in paragraphs of this Section 5, the
Company shall promptly mail to each Warrant holder a certificate setting forth
the Exercise Price and number of shares issuable upon exercise after such
adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of facts requiring such
adjustment. Such certificate shall also set forth the kind and amount of stock
or other securities or property into which the Warrant shall be exercisable
after any adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided in this
Agreement.
(e) Minimum
Adjustment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certificate as to adjustment of the Exercise
Price hereunder shall be made if such adjustment results in a change in the
Exercise Price then in effect of less than five cents ($0.05) and any adjustment
of less than five cents ($0.05) of any Exercise Price shall be carried forward
and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment
that, together with any subsequent adjustment that, together with the adjustment
or adjustments so carried forward, amounts to five cents ($0.05) or more;
provided however, that upon the exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall have
made all necessary adjustments (to the nearest cent) not theretofore made to
the
Exercise Price up to and including the date upon which such Warrant is
exercised.

Company has agreed to indemnify you in the Underwriting Agreement to be entered
into by and between you and the Company (the “Underwriting Agreement”) and to
provide for just and equitable contribution as set forth in the Underwriting
Agreement.

discuss the business of the Company with its officers and independent auditors,
all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable times and as often as

and
substance to the Company, you and each other holder of the Registrable
Securities, and shall contain such representations, warranties and covenants
by
the Company and such other terms as are customarily contained in agreements
of
that type used by the underwriters. If required by the underwriters, you and

other holder(s) of the Registrable Securities shall be parties to any
underwriting agreement relating to an underwritten sale of their Registrable
Securities and may, at their option, require that any or all the representations
and warranties of the Company to or for the benefit of such underwriters shall,

of you and the other holder(s) of the Registrable Securities. You and the other
holder(s) of the Registrable Securities shall not be required to make any
representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the
underwriters except as they may relate to you and the other holder(s) of the
Registrable Securities and their intended methods of distribution.
7

financial statements included in such registration statement, in each case
covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration

accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such
financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel
and in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public
offerings of securities.
(x) The
Company shall promptly notify you and each holder of the Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Act, upon the Company’s discovery
that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus
included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to
be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, and upon receipt of
such
notice you and each holder shall not effect any sale of securities and shall
immediately cease utilizing or distributing such prospectus. At the request
of
you or any such holder(s), the Company shall promptly prepare and furnish to
you
or such holder(s) and each underwriter, if any, a reasonable number of copies
of
a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that,
as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus
shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made.

purposes of this Agreement, the term “majority” in reference to you and the
other holder(s) of a Warrant or the shares underlying an unexercised Warrant,
shall mean in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the shares underlying the then
outstanding Warrant(s) that have not been resold to the public pursuant to
