qualifications in effect from the date of issuance thereof through the
Expiration Date or until such earlier time as no Warrants remain outstanding;

business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any
action which would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction

the market price of the securities obtainable upon such exercise and the
exercise price of such Warrants.
