(d) Exercise Period. Subject to Section 1(b) and 5(a)(ii) hereof, this Warrant may be exercised at any time on or after April 1, 2005 until April 1, 2010 (such period, the “Exercise Period”).
2. Method of Exercise; Payment.
(a) Cash Exercise. Subject to the terms hereof, the purchase rights represented hereby may be exercised by the Holder in its sole and absolute discretion, in whole or in part, at any time during the Exercise Period, by the surrender of this Warrant (with a duly executed notice of exercise form (the “Notice of Exercise”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) at the principal executive offices of the Company, and by the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock being purchased, which amount may be paid, at the election of the Holder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds or certified check payable to the order of the Company. The person(s) in whose name any certificate representing the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of, the Warrant Stock represented thereby, and such shares of Warrant Stock shall be deemed to have been issued, immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which this Warrant is surrendered.
(b) Net Issue Exercise.
(i) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one share (or other unit) of Warrant Stock is greater than the Exercise Price, at the date of calculation as set forth below, in lieu of a cash exercise of this Warrant in accordance with Section 2(a) hereof, the Holder may elect to receive securities equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant, or the portion thereof being exercised, by surrender of this Warrant at the principal executive offices of the Company, together with the properly-endorsed Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Warrant Stock computed using the following formula:
(ii) For purposes of this Section 2(b), the fair market value of one share (or other unit) of Warrant Stock shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors; provided, however, that where there exists a public market for shares of Common Stock at the time of such exercise, the fair market value per share shall be the product of (A) the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the last reported sale price of the Common Stock or the closing price quoted on The Nasdaq National Market or on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, for the five trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value, and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Warrant Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise.

as reasonably possible and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant on like terms representing the shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within such time.
(d) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock multiplied by such fraction.
(e) No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws (the “Charter Documents”), or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the taking of any action by the Company for which an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 5 hereof and which does not constitute a breach of the other terms of this Warrant shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of the foregoing provisions or an impairment of this Warrant.
3. Due Authorization of Shares; Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, during the term this Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued shares a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Stock upon exercise of this Warrant.
4. Rights of Stockholders. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrant Stock shall have the registration rights set forth on Exhibit B hereto, the terms and conditions of which are incorporated by reference herein. Such registration rights may be assigned by the Holder in connection with the transfer of all or any part of this Warrant in accordance herewith.
5. Adjustment.
(a) Merger or Reorganization.
(i) Organic Change. Prior to any recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, merger or other similar transaction, which in each case is effected in such a way that the holders of the Company’s capital stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for such stock including, without limitation, a transaction described in Section 5(a)(ii) hereof (an “Organic Change”), the Company shall make appropriate provision, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, to insure that the Holder shall thereafter have the right to acquire and receive, in lieu of or in addition to, as the case may be, the Warrant Stock immediately theretofore issuable and receivable upon the exercise hereof, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable in connection with such Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Warrant Stock immediately theretofore issuable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant had such Organic Change not taken place.
(ii) Acceleration of Purchase Rights. In the event of a FY 2005 Change of Control (as defined herein), if the Company’s aggregate revenues (“Interim Period Actual Revenues”) for the interim period beginning April 1, 2004 and ending on the last day of the last full month immediately preceding the date of the FY 2005 Change of Control (the “Interim Period”) are equal to at least eighty percent (80%) or more of the budgeted revenues for the corresponding period of FY 2005 as set forth in
(b) Split, Subdivision, Combination, Consolidation, Reclassification and the Like. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired by split, subdivision, combination, consolidation or reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change the Warrant Stock into the same or a different number and kind of securities of any class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of such securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Warrant Stock immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, consolidation, reclassification or other change, and the Exercise Price in respect of such securities shall be proportionately adjusted.
(c) Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or Property. If, while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, the holders of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time shall have received, or on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive by way of dividend, without payment therefore, other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company, then and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company that such holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of such security in respect of which the dividend shall have been or be payable on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 5.
(d) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 5, the Company shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company will cause copies of such certificate to be promptly delivered to the Holder.

10. Certain Covenants.

With reference to the provision of the Services (as such term is defined in the Consulting Agreement) to the Company by the Consultant (as such term is defined therein), so long as the Company has not terminated the Consulting Agreement due to nonperformance by the Consultant, the Company shall request that its board of directors, subject to its fiduciary duties, give due consideration for providing additional compensation to the Holder, to the extent that the Company’s cash flows and liabilities for its initial quarters, other benefits and general integration exceed the levels anticipated as a result of the Consultant’s contribution. Such compensation would be in the form of cash or options on a number of shares. The exact value and number of options shall be determined by a committee of the Company’s board of directors, comprised of directors that are not appointees or related with the Holder, in its sole discretion. Nothing in this Section 10(a) shall provide any remedy to the Company in the event of the Consultant’s nonperformance under the Consulting Agreement except as expressly provided therein; which remedy, solely for the avoidance of doubt, shall be limited to the Company’s right, but without any obligation, to terminate the Consulting Agreement in accordance with Section 5 thereof. Further, nothing in this Section 10(a) shall provide any additional compensation right or remedy to the Holder in the event, in the opinion of such committee of the board, that the Company’s cash flows and liabilities for its initial quarters, other benefits and general integration do not exceed the levels anticipated as a result of the Consultant’s contribution; in such event, solely for the avoidance of doubt, this Warrant and the warrant appended as Exhibit B-3 to the Consulting Agreement, as amended (collectively, the “Performance Warrants”), shall be exercisable in accordance with their respective terms for the shares of Warrant Stock as provided therein and herein.
(b) Fiscal Year 2005 Budget. As soon as practicable following the execution of the Consulting Agreement, but in any event prior to September 15, 2003, the Company shall cause a special meeting of the Company’s board of directors to be held for the purpose of approving and adopting an annual budget for FY 2005 (“FY 2005 Budget”). The FY 2005 Budget will be prepared on a quarterly basis. The Company shall, within three (3) days of the adjournment of such special meeting, deliver to the Holder a copy of the FY 2005 Budget, together with a certification of the Company’s chief executive officer that the FY 2005 Budget has been duly authorized, approved, and adopted by the Company’s board of directors. For the purpose of any revenue calculation required under Section 5(a)(ii) hereof, (a) the FY 2005 Budget, as delivered to the Holder pursuant hereto, shall be unaffected by any subsequent revisions thereto (irrespective of the approval such revisions, if any, by the entire board of directors), and any such subsequent revisions shall not apply to the FY 2005 Budget for the purposes of the revenue calculations described herein, and (b) in the event that a FY 2005 Change of Control occurs prior to the end of any full fiscal quarter, the Interim Projected Revenues for such uncompleted fiscal quarter shall be calculated by multiplying (x) the Interim Projected Revenues for the full fiscal quarter at issue, as set forth in the FY 2005 Budget, by (y) a fraction, (I) the numerator of which is the number of completed months of such fiscal quarter, and (II) the denominator of which is 3.
