All Warrants will expire on the Expiration Date.
At the Company’s option, and upon twenty days prior written notice, the Company may accelerate the expiration date of the Warrants if:
|
·
|
the Company’s common stock has closed at a price which is at least twice the then applicable Exercise Price for at least twenty consecutive trading days;
|
|
·
|
the average trading volume in the Company’s common stock has been at least 30,000 shares during the twenty consecutive trading days; and
|
|

This Warrant Certificate is subject to all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms, provisions and conditions the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate consents by acceptance hereof. The Warrant Agreement is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof and reference is made to the Warrant Agreement for a full description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders of the Warrant Certificates.

In certain cases, the sale of securities by the Company upon exercise of Warrants may violate the securities laws of the United States, certain states thereof or other jurisdictions. The Company has agreed to use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause a registration statement to continue to be effective during the term of the Warrants with respect to such sales under the Securities Act of 1933, and to take such action under the laws of various states as may be required to cause the sale of securities upon exercise to be lawful. However, the Company will not be required to honor the exercise of Warrants if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, upon advice of counsel, the sale of securities upon such exercise would be unlawful.
No holder of this Warrant Certificate, as such, shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall anything contained in the Warrant Agreement or herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.
This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent.
WITNESS the facsimile signatures of the proper officers of the Company and its corporate seal.
